Joe
Hey, that’s enough!
Amy
Now, that was very nice of them. I liked every word they said. I guess I better study up on the lingo. All I know is words like spaghetti and raviole. . . .
Angelo and Giorgio
[Sotto voce]: Ah! La Signora parla Italiano!
Amy
. . . I guess you got plenty of that around. Well, you can’t make me mad. I just love it. [Then she sees Ah Gee’s ceremonious obeisance.] How do you do? Are you the cook?
Ah Gee
Yea, missy. Velly good cook!
Amy
Say! I didn’t know I drew a chef. You didn’t tell me. [Ah Gee takes himself off.] Say, my baggage is out there.
Joe
All right boys, lend a hand.
[Angelo and Giorgio go down the steps.]
