Audition Central: The Music Man JR.

Script: Mrs. Squires

MAUD

Professor, her kind of woman doesn't belong on any committee. Of course I shouldn't tell you this but she advocates dirty books.
 

HAROLD

Dirty books?
 

ALMA

Chaucer!
 

ETHEL

Raballaise!
 

EULALIE

Bal-zac!
 

MAUD

And the worst thing - of course I shouldn't tell you this but&
 

ALMA

I'll tell.
 

ETHEL

The man lived on my street! Let me tell!
 

EULALIE

Stop! I'll tell. She made brazen overtures to a man who never had a friend in this town till she came here - old Miser Madison.
 

HAROLD

(Puzzled) Miser Madison? Madison Gymnasium, Madison Picnic Park, Madison Hospital - that miser Madison?

MAUD

Exactly. Who'd he think he was anyway?

HAROLD

Well I should say! Showoff! Gave the town the library too, didn't he?

ETHEL

That's just it. When he died he left the library building to the city&

MAUD

But he left all the books to her!

EULALIE

She was seen going and coming from his place.

ALMA

Oh yes. Oh yes.
