                    2ND CHORUS GIRL
                (to LOLA)
        In that case, mind if I have dibs?

LOLA shoots an irritated look at her.

                         LOLA
        Help yourself, dearie.

She is intent on giving HAROLD the cold shoulder treatment as he breezily strolls past.  But he fails to notice her, adding insult to injury.  He stops short and scans the wings a moment.  Then his eyes light up.   

HAROLD spots DOROTHY talking with VIVIAN and ETTA near the stage entrance. 

                       DOROTHY
        …We'll have a few hours to kill 
        before our second show.  Let's do 
        some sightseeing.   
 
                         ETTA
        Are you kidding?  Not on these feet.

She glances forlornly down to her feet, winces.

  
                        VIVIAN
        I tried to warn you not to force 
        your size 9 puppies into size 7 
        tap shoes.  Girl, you gonna let
        vanity hobble your behind.
