Frobisher
goes out
Millie
So what brought him here?
Andrew
Delicate matters.
Millie
Not about your retirement pay, I hope.
Andrew
Not only that.
Millie
Did he renege on that eighty percent promise?
Andrew
It wasn't exactly a promise. He's advised me. He admitted that he was...mistaken.
Millie
So how much are you going to get.
Andrew
Closer to sixty.
Millie
So basically I'm going to be supporting us.
Andrew.
I will be able to support myself.
Millie
Support yourself! I remember a time when a man supported his wife.
Andrew
I'll certainly share what I can, dear.
Millie
Share? Yes! The crumbs. You said there was some other delicate matter?
Andrew
Yes, about the gathering tomorrow. He says he'll have to cut out my farewell song.
Millie
Oh, yes! I knew that.
Andrew
How did you know?
Millie
He asked my advice when he realized how little time they'd have for it. I told him you wouldn't mind. You really shouldn't put people in this situation--feeling that that they can't say no to what you have to offer.
Andrew
I don't think they feel that they can't say no.
