       You've got me covered on all fronts.
 
             AUNTIE MAMA (V.O. ON PHONE)
       On that you can depend.  I'm looking
       forward to hearing my sweetie-honey's
       lovely voice coming over the radio 
       just like Jack Benny!

RUBY’s face grows soft.

                         RUBY
                (into phone)
       You really believe in me, don't you?
 
             AUNTIE MAMA (V.O. ON PHONE)
       Do leaves grow on trees?  You're 
       the cream in my coffee, baby.
 
                         RUBY
                (into phone, smiling)
       And you're the sugar in mine.
 
             AUNTIE MAMA (V.O. ON PHONE)
       I'll call you tomorrow night.
 
                         RUBY
                (into phone)
       I'll be waiting.
 
             AUNTIE MAMA (V.O. ON PHONE)
       Goodbye, my darling dimples.  I'll 
       be with you in your dreams.
 
                         RUBY
                (into phone)
       We'll snuggle together, close and 
       tight.

STAY TUNED
