DELIA is greeting late-arriving guests at the door. She is<br />

wearing the muu-muu she found in her closet, tarted up with<br />

jewelry and belts and other accessories. It is still, however, a<br />

The ARTIST and the PUBLISHER stare at CATHY, as if they'd never<br />

seen her before.<br />

CATHY<br />

Oh, not you.<br />

The ARTIST and the PUBLISHER look around the otherwise empty<br />

kitchen, shrug, and disappear into the laundry room.<br />

CATHY'S POV --<br />

ADAM and BARBARA are perched on the counter.<br />

OBVIOUS SEXUAL GROANS --<br />

BARBARA<br />

Are all these people friends<br />

of your parents?<br />

CATHY<br />

Maybe not friends exactly.<br />

But part of their networks.<br />
