ACT TWO

SCENE XII

EMILE'S terrace.
It is late afternoon. Sunset--reddish light. The drone of
planes can be heard. JEROME stands on a table. NELLIE holds
him. NGANA is beside her. All look off.

NELLIE

(Pointing off)

The big ones are battleships and the little ones are destroy-
ers--or cruisers--I never can tell the difference. (She looks
up in the air) And what on earth are those?

JEROME

P-40s.

NELLIE
Oh, that's right. They're all moving out, you see, because,
well . . . there's been a big change. They won't be around
here much any more, just off and on, a few of us. Did you
understand anything I said? Vous ne comprenez pas?

NGANA
Oui, oui, nous comprenons.

(JEROME nods his head.)
