- She's turned the party into her own funeral.
- Bill says the guests want some happier music, and Margo says they're welcome to leave.
- Poor Max, with heartburn, asks Margo for some antacids, and she leads him to the pantry.
- In the kitchen, Max says he made a promise to Miss Caswell to audition for a role in Margo's play.
- Margo offers to read with her and help her practice… in exchange for a favor: giving Eve a job in his office. She wants her out of her life, apparently.
- He doesn't think it's a good idea, but he agrees.
- Lloyd enters and tells Margo she has a new guest: a movie star from Hollywood.
- Margo asks Lloyd about the new play. She seems worried that she's supposed to be playing a girl of 20. "20-ish" specifies Lloyd.
- "I'm not 20-ish, I'm not 30-ish," Margo says. She's 40.
- Oops. She didn't mean to reveal her true age.
- He says she can be as young as she wants, but Margo doesn't seem to believe it anymore.
