SCENE 4

#7 - Office Crossover MILLIE enters D.S.L. SHE crosses names off her list of bachelors, then circles a name and exits D.S.R. FILE CLERKS at the Sincere Trust Insurance Company enter U.S.R., wheeling desks in a D.S. arc, then exit U.S.L. Seated at the desks are fast-typing STENOGS. FILE CLERKS and STENOGS tap dance to simulate the sound of an office. FILE CLERKS and STENOGS reenter, forming a line D.S. MISS FLANNERY enters D.S.L., seated at a desk and wheeled on by two SPEED TAPPISTS. STENOGS and FILE CLERKS stand at attention until MISS FLANNERY is situated D.S.R., then start to exit U.S.L. as MILLIE reenters D.S.L. MILLIE works her way through the maze of desks until all FILE CLERKS, STENOGS and SPEED TAPPISTS have exited, and MILLIE has reached MISS FLANNERYs desk.
