Margo:
I distinctly remember, Addison, crossing you off of my guest list. What are you doing here?
Addison DeWitt:
Dear Margo, you were an unforgettable Peter Pan. You must play it again, soon. You remember Miss Casswell.
Margo:
I do not. How do you do?
Miss Casswell:
We've never met. Maybe that's why?
Addison DeWitt:
Miss Casswell is an actress, a graduate of the Copacabana school of the dramatic arts.
[Eve enters]
Addison DeWitt:
Ah, Eve.
Eve:
Good evening, Mr. DeWitt.
Margo:
I'd no idea you two knew each other.
Addison DeWitt:
This must be at long last our formal introduction. Until now, we've only met in passing.
Miss Casswell:
That's how you met me... in passing.
Margo:
Eve, this is an old friend of Mr. DeWitt's mother. Miss Casswell, Miss Harrington.
Eve:
Miss Casswell.
Miss Casswell:
How do you do?
Margo:
Addison, I've been waiting for you to meet Eve for the longest time.
Addison DeWitt:
It could only have been your natural timidity that kept you from mentioning it.
Margo:
You've heard of her great interest in the theater.
Addison DeWitt:
We have that in common.
Margo:
Then you two must have a long talk.
Eve:
I'm afraid Mr. DeWitt would find me boring before too long.
Miss Casswell:
You won't bore him, honey. You won't even get a chance to talk.
Addison DeWitt:
Claudia, come here.
[takes her aside]
Addison DeWitt:
You see that man, that's Max Fabian, the producer. Now, go do yourself some good.
Miss Casswell:
Why do they always look like unhappy rabbits?
Addison DeWitt:
Because that's what they are.
[taking her coat]
Addison DeWitt:
Now, go and make him happy.
[goes back to Margo and drapes the coat over her arm]
Addison DeWitt:
Now, don't worry about your little charge, she'll be in safe hands.
[walks off with Eve]
Margo:
[watches them go, then lifts her martini]
Ah-men.
