BABETTE:  (turning to the mirror) My makeup? Don’t tell me my makeup is smeared!

RICKIE: It’s not your makeup, Babs, it’s the door. It’s locked.

BABETTE: What?

RICKIE:  Door. Locked. Tight.

BABETTE:  Oh no! Dad said the locks were all fouled up. Why’d you lock the door with only two of us in the house?

RICKIE:  I didn’t lock the door! I shut the door. The door locked the door. Call for your folks.

BABETTE:  They’re in Chicago.

RICKIE:  They’re not gonna attack us, Babs!

RICKIE:  Good!

BABETTE & RICKIE:  … Door!

RICKIE:  They’re stuck.

BABETTE:  I know that. (pulls on door) And it won’t open.

RICKIE:  (listening at the door) They’re banging on it with my hairbrush. Don’t chip the paint!
