No.

      MARY PAGE: Okay.

      WENDY: What’s your job?

      MARY PAGE: The same job. Different firm.

      WENDY: What happened to your old job?

      MARY PAGE: I lost it.

      WENDY: How’d you lose it?

      MARY PAGE: They let me go.

      WENDY: Why?

      MARY PAGE: They no longer needed me.

      WENDY: Why?

      MARY PAGE: Wendy.

      WENDY: Well, why?

      LOUIS: What happens to Spooky?

      MARY PAGE: Spooky will stay with you, in the house, in your dad’s house. Then when you guys come live with me, Spooky will come with you. You can keep Spooky.

      WENDY: Great. He can keep pissing on my choir robe down in Kentucky.

      MARY PAGE: Maybe you’ll hang up your choir robe in Kentucky.

      WENDY: It’s my fault the cat pisses on my stuff? (Pause) Like they even have choir in Kentucky.

      MARY PAGE: Yes, they have choir in Kentucky. People don’t stop singing just because they cross the state line.

      WENDY: Daddy should be here for this conversation.

      MARY PAGE: He thought I should be the one to tell you.

      WENDY: He thought?

      MARY PAGE: We thought.

      WENDY: Are we still Gilberts?

      MARY PAGE: What?

      WENDY: Our name. Am I still Wendy Gilbert?

      MARY PAGE: Yes. You’re still Wendy Gilbert. You’re still Louis Gilbert.

      WENDY: Daddy’s still Sonny Gilbert. What about you, are you still Mary Page Gilbert, or do you go back to your old name?

      MARY PAGE: I haven’t, I don’t know. No, I’ll go back to Marlowe.

      WENDY: Who set that book on fire? (Pause) I came down for breakfast the other day and that book Elephants Can Remember was on the coffee table and a bunch of pages were burned in the back of it.

      MARY PAGE: Dad and me . . . we’ve had some . . . we, uh . . . we’ve had a lot of . . . (Pause) This is really hard . . .

      LOUIS: “Kentucky.”

      MARY PAGE (Smiles, nods at Louis, long pause): Sometimes we do things we shouldn’t do.
