Nancy Nicholson - the woman
Nancy Nicholson - the woman
INT. WORLD’S END (LIVING ROOM)-NIGHT
The needle rests on the end of the record.
Laura and Nancy lie entwined, caressing each other under the white curtain.
LAURA
Nancy Nicholson! Why did you keep your maiden name?
NANCY
Why should a woman become a man’s chattel because of marriage? What is marriage anyway? It’s just a civil contract, not an invitation to steal one’s identity.
LAURA
I agree! How did Robert’s family take it?
NANCY
Badly. (laughs to herself) But what Robert’s mother has never, ever forgiven me for is my insistence that my daughters take my surname Nicholson.
LAURA
Women will change the world for the better. That’s what my father said.
NANCY
Absolutely! That’s why God has to be a man, it’s the reason everything is all rot. Women do not judge each other, brutalize each other, or find anything to ridicule. They surrender to sentimentality, mutual understanding, romanticism.
