      Now this is what I'm talking about.
      Peep those snazzy lids.  It's every 
      girl for herself.
 
                   VIVIAN (V.O.)
               (whispers nervously)
      Dorothy Jean, wait—!

DOROTHY heads blithely toward the shelf of stylish hats.

MADAME MARKFORD, the patrician shop owner, and her SALESLADIES pull looks of revulsion at THE DANDRIDGE SISTERS, which goes unnoticed by DOROTHY.

She is a determined young woman on a mission.  She selects a hat and enthusiastically tries it on, peering at herself in the tiny mirror atop the shelf.

VIVIAN and ETTA, in panic mode, are cautiously moving toward DOROTHY at the hat shelf when she suddenly whirls around to face them.   

                       DOROTHY
               (brightly)
      Is this a keeper, or what?
               (turns back to mirror)
      It compliments my face perfectly.
 
                         ETTA
      Dorothy Jean, we have to go.  We need 
      to get out of here while the getting 
      is good.
