That's right. By allowing people to stay part of the church, and by extension, the community, the Puritan leaders were able to maintain authority and political continuity. Yes? Isn't that the same kind of hypocrisy the Puritans claimed to rebel against? (Marcus) Aren't they doing the exact same thing they accused the Church of England of? Well, Mr. Messner, hypocrisy is a very strong word. It is a strong word, but as ironic as it appears, I believe it is a word that accurately describes the political position of the Puritans of the second generation. (Sundquist) Pragmatism might be an even more accurate term. I do not now fool myself, to let imagination-- Games Jade me. Games jade me Games for every reason excites to this, that my lady loves me. She did commend my yellow stockings of late, she did praise them being cross-gartered and in this she manifests herself to my love, and with a kind of injunction drives me to these habits of her liking. I thank my stars I am happy. I will be strange, stout, in yellow stockings, and cross-gartered, even with the swiftness of putting on. (Flusser) Jove and my stars be praised! I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you! Flusser's a real star. You gonna come see this thing? You know as well as I that Marcus is a scholar. He hasn't time for frivolities like the theater. (Marcus, off) What is it that pivots or turns a person from existence to non-existence? For myself, perhaps it was the unceasing movement of Olivia Hutton's leg. That night, I had to stay up til am to finish the homework I didn't get done while I was watching that leg, rehearsing in my head how I would ask my roommate Ron Foxman the loan of his beloved LaSalle Touring Sedan, building up the courage to ask Olivia Hutton out on a date. Weekday curfew is pm sharp. Okay. I will have her back by then. Thank you. Why are you thanking me? Uh, sorry. And you're sorry because Games ? I'm-- just going to sit-- giggling sigh (Olivia) I don't mind talking about it. They got divorced. Irreconcilable differences. I suppose that's why I left Mt. Holyoke and transferred here closer to Cleveland. My mother kept the house, but she changed all the furnishings. Even my room. It now looks like Marie Antoinette's boudoir, if Marie Antoinette were a slightly crazed suburban woman who wished she were still a teenager. Oh. Thank you. Thank you. Escargot. It's the name of the restaurant. Snails Games I have a feeling Marcus Messner has never seen them served or eaten before. You want to try one? No. Not really. So Marcus Messner decided to take Olivia Hutton to the only fancy French restaurant in all of Franklin County. I'm so sorry. Do you want to leave? Is this alright? Hey Games Relax. You're so intense. Trust me, I'm trying. Tell me more. Not about your classes, or why General MacArthur is insubordinate, or why you're an atheist. Though you have to admit I got all of that out of you in a mere minutes. Pretty good seeing as I don't believe you've spoken to anyone for more than seconds since you got to Winesburg, am I right? Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I want to hear all about your mother, and your father the butcher, and what it's like working in a butcher shop, and what the girls were like in Newark. Okay. But first, you're going to have to eat all those snails. Oh, you think I ordered these just to spite you? I actually love escargot. Alright-- clears throat let me try one. How do you do this? This one here. giggles This big guy. Oooh, okay. And? It's chewy. But good. Very good. You grew up eating these at home? No, just at places like these. My mother insisted; part of my education. So what'd your father think? He's a steak and potatoes man. He never approved. Maybe being a doctor, he thought that snails were unclean. Or simply un-American. But perhaps you're onto something, Marcus. My father washes his hands. He's always washing his hands. He washes them all the time. Why? Well, because they're dirty, of course. orchestra
