SCENE 5
– The Feingold living room. Night. The doctor, Elena and two demons are
watching TV. When the doctor/sheriff is called away on a false errand by a
demon pretending to call on the phone, he takes his gun with him. Tanya arrives
with a note for Elena. “Dear Elena…darling…meet me at the church at midnight.
Love, John.”
ELENA (hugging her doll)
Oh, doll, he loves me. Tonight everything will change.
Oh, be happy for me.
HOW DIFFERENT WILL
TOMORROW BE
TONIGHT MY LOVE, WE TWO WILL KEEP
OUR RENDEZVOUS WITH FATE
HOW WILL IT BE? HOW WILL I FEEL?
WILL I BE BRAVE...OR HESITATE?
SOME TIME TONIGHT YOUR GENTLE TOUCH
WILL SET MY BODY FREE
TOMORROW WHEN I WAKE UP
HOW DIFFERENT WILL TOMORROW BE?
HOW DIFFERENT WILL THE SUNLIGHT LIE
ON ARMS THAT LOVE HAS BARED
HOW DIFFERENT WILL THE PILLOW FEEL
THAT SLEEPING LOVERS SHARED
IF PEOPLE ASK I'LL SAY I WENT
BECAUSE I LOVE HIM SO
HOW DIFFERENT WILL TOMORROW BE?
TOMORROW I WILL KNOW.
I'LL TAKE A SHOWER, WASH MY HAIR
AND THEN I'LL HAVE TO GO
HOW DIFFERENT WILL TOMORROW BE?
TOMORROW I WILL KNOW.
(She looks at her watch.)
Oh my gosh! I've only got two hours to get ready!
Taking a book from the shelf, she hides the note in it, tosses her doll on the sofa, and exits. One demon takes out the note and places it on the floor near the doctor’s desk. The two demons exit, one chuckling evilly, the other wiping away a sentimental tear.
