Scene One, August 10, 1923Angelika’s coughs occasionally draw attention during the prologue. When themusic is over, she goes to the window and waves. The music fades as herbrother Willy Fick enters.I knew it was you. You’re regular as clock-work. I don’t know why a fewcoughs have turned you into a regular visitor, but, I appreciate it. Thanks forthe groceries. I still go out you know. I’m not a total recluse.Angelika follows Willy with her eyes as he crosses to bring groceries to thekitchen. As he passes, he shows her some items. She pauses to allow himtime to answer questions.Mocha Java. How good of you! That’s how much it cost? I can’t believe it! And youpaid what for eggs?!! I know that mama will know how to stretch them, but $500,000Mark for ten eggs, that’s incredible!How are mama and papa? (Coughing while listening to a story) Good. (Waiting for astory). Good. It’s great they’re still holding music evenings … but papa singing to aShimmy-Foxtrot … now that would be worth going back for.Don’t start again. I know they’re happy Heinz is gone. I know they’ll take me back …and so on and so forth … but I can’t go. I have too much to do. If I go back, I’ll beput to bed and mama will fuss and keep me from my work. It’s just coughing spells.Nothing I can’t handle. I can do so much here and Nierendorf feels Dreier’s purchaseof three works might open up a bigger market for my art. Maybe even in America.Willy obviously doesn’t agree.You know what Willy? I don’t care if it doesn’t and I don’t care if you keep harping onmy killing myself by staying here. With you, Marta and Anton helping me, I CANWORK. And besides, cough or not we’re all going to die. Only a few people reallylive. I’m really living Willy. Look … look at what I’ve done this week.She shows him some sheets of paper. He doesn’t go to look at what she hasin her hands. The picture frame shows a projected image of Angelika’s AbstractHeadDon’t pout Willy. I don’t like to see you sad. (Dancing towards him) Come on Jimmy,do a shimmy … over here. (Willy dances towards her in a suggestive way.) That’smore like it. They weren’t wrong. You are a vulgar dilettante just as they said!Pointing at the work in her hand which is projected on the screen.Angelika’s Promise by Angelika <strong>Littlefield</strong> | 1
