Emergency exits are at the front and back of the room, should there be any ...um, emergency.

LYN You're sure Andy'll still be coming tonight?

BARB Oh, sure...maybe he'll even try to get me back, wouldn't that be a riot?

LYN Don't leave me!

BARB I'm your cousin, not your babysitter. Andy'll be around somewhere.
