LOUISE: She took off her raincoat...

I wondered what that honky-tonk merry-go-round life of hers is really like.

PATSY: CRAZY
LOUISE: We traded stories until the wee hours of the morning.

PATSY: SEVEN LONELY DAYS

PATSY: IF I COULD SEE THE WORLD THRU THE EYES OF A CHILD

LOUISE: Goodnight Patsy. (Exits)

PATSY: JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE

LOUISE: (Re-enters) Then I set the alarm for 5:00 so Patsy could get a little sleep.....

I knew David would sleep through anything.
