INT. DREAMLAND BALLROOM—BALCONY AND DANCE FLOOR. NIGHT.

The WHITE COLLEGE STUDENTS gaze in astonishment at the posh COLORED ELITE partying-down on the dance floor.

WHITE FEMALE STUDENT
Will you look at that…you’d think  
they were the Vanderbilts!

AUNTIE MAMA, looking vivacious and charming, swirls around the dance floor in the arms of a portly MIDDLE-AGED MAN wearing a fez-hat.

AUNTIE MAMA
(pleasantly surprised)
You’re light on your feet for such
a strapping man, Mr. Trapp.  
 
MIDDLE-AGED MAN
(flattered)
Call me Blondell.

He whirls AUNTIE MAMA out of earshot.

THE DANDRIDGE SISTERS watch AUNTIE MAMA and the MIDDLE-AGED MAN from their chairs on the bandstand.

ETTA  
Auntie Mama has made herself a catch.
 
VIVIAN  
A whale of a catch.
