Act 3

MS. LUCILE has CHARLESTON by the sink wiping him down with a cloth. The other babies are waiting for MS. LUCILE by their cribs. Lights come back up.

Wednesday. That honey was horrible.
Louise. So you decide to throw it up on Charleston? Way to go! He gets to put on the new clothes his mommy bought him.
Mandy (Excited). I can't wait to see them. He said his mommy let him pick them out himself. (Sad). My mommy only let's me hold the underwear she picks out for my sister.
Louise and Wednesday (Towards each other). Ewww!
Ms. Lucile (carrying CHARLESTON). Ok, babies. Ms. Lucile has got Charleston all squeaky clean. (Puts CHARLESTON down on next to other babies). And now she is going to get all your bottles ready so you guys can go nighty night.
Charleston. Yay! I love going nighty night. It feels so good.

[Lights flare.]

Ms. Lucile (sing song voice and  dancing). Oh-- what-- time-- is-- it?
It's bottle time.
What a magical time.
Straight sublime.

[Lights flare.]

So get ready,
hold steady,
and grab that teddy,

[The babies get excited start to get up and dance.]

Cause-- it's-- bo--ttle time.

(Hands baby individual bottles). Here you go, Mandy. This one is for . . . Wednesday! Here you go, Wednesday. Louise there you go--nice and warm. Now where did I put Charleston's? Where is--Charleston? Oh there you go (Picks up CHARLESTON). You already have your bottle-- you sneaky dog.

[MS. LUCILE puts CHARLESTON into his crib and then goes to put the other babies in their cribs. MS. LUCILE walks away until the babies start to cry. They all throw their bottles out of the cribs.]

Ms. Lucile (picking up bottles). Oh my gosh I gave the babies the wrong bottles.

[MS. LUCILE goes over to the cubbies and replaces the nipples on the bottle and walks back to the cribs.]

Okay babies. Sorry for the mix up. I gave you the wrong bottles. (Distributes bottles properly.) Now imma go sit in my sleepy chair.
Louise (Stands up in crib). Ew I drank formula. Ewwww.
Charleston (Stands up in crib). Formula is disssgusting.
Wednesday. Did I just hear you correctly? (Stands up.) Formula is what?
Louise and Charleston. Disssgusting! (Sticks tongue out.)
Mandy (Stands up in crib). I ca--n't be--lieve it.
Wednesday (Towards MANDY.) I know, Mandy. I know.

[Lights fade out .]
