"Hmm.." Lucy leans against Shroeder's piano. She examines a piece of paper while Shroeder plays.<BR><BR> "Let's see..we'll have to have a station wagon, a town car and a sports car.... Our home should be in at least the one-hundred-thousand class... Do piano players make a lot of money?" she asks.<BR><BR> Shroeder does not look up. He answers, "I don't know... I suppose it depends on how hard they practice..." Lucy turns to look at him: "I see.." she says.<BR><BR> "Well, I'll probably need half a dozen fur coats, at least thirty ski outfits and about fifty formals... I'll need lots of jewelry and exotic perfumes and I'll need about a hundred pairs of shoes..." She sits with her back to him.<BR><BR> "We'll have to have a swimming pool, olympic size, heated, and riding horses, a tennis court and a huge formal garden... We will travel extensively, of course; round-the-world cruises... That sort of thing...and..." Shroeder stops playing the piano and looks up, while Lucy looks at her sheet of paper.<BR><BR> They stare at one another.<BR><BR> "Keep practicing, kid!" Lucy advises, and turns around. Shroeder closes his eyes..<BR><BR>
