Episode 154, scene1.
Elliot Carson brings two or three dozen flowers in to Allison.
Constance [Lola Albright, assumed the role in episode 153] is there.
EC: Hello, Allison.
AM: Hello. Hello, Mr. Carson.
[Elliot and Constance exchange knowing glances.]
AM: It was very nice of you to come. Are those flowers for me? Are they
for me?
EC: Oh, yes.
[Elliot hands the flowers to Allison.]
AM: Thank you.
EC: Well, how are you?
AM: Oh, I'm all right, I guess. You're my first real visitor.
EC: Well, I'm glad.
CM: Mr. Carson has been here before.
AM: Really? Mother, could you fix these flowers for me?
CM: Yes. Yes.
EC: As a matter of fact, I've been in to see you almost every day.
AM: You have?
EC: A couple of times, I started to read to you. I thought you might
recognize my voice.
AM: That was very sweet of you. What did you read?
CM: Great Expectations. He knew it was your favorite book.
AM: Did I tell you that?
EC: Yes, you mentioned it once.
EC: Oh, I think I had better get a vase.
CM: I can . . .
EC: No. No. No. That's all right I'll do it.
[Elliot leaves.]
