Mrs. Prevert:
You know, Jill, I think it was very nice and generous of the audience to give you all those tomatoes tonight, dear.

Jill:
[hiding in the back seat] Mother, they didn't GIVE me the tomatoes, they THREW them at me! [sits up to reveal that she is covered with squashed tomatoes]

Mrs. Prevert:
True.

Jill:
They didn't like my solo. Mother, everyone thinks I'm a failure, don't you understand?!

Mr. Prevert:
Jill, Jill, that is not true, not everybody threw somethin' at you. The Wildermeyers were there...

Mrs. Prevert:
That's right.

Mr. Prevert:
They never tossed nothin'.

[A car pulls up next to the Preverts'.]

Mrs. Prevert:
Oh, look!

Mr. Prevert:
They just pulled up to the stoplight! Hey Wildermeyer, over here! Yeah! How ya doin'? Yeah, we need a little confidence buildin'. My daughter Jill wants to know, what did ya think of her song?

[The Wildermeyers throw more tomatoes at Jill from off screen.]
