Scene 6
Tom explains about Jim O’Connor. In high school, he had been the outstanding boy who had won basketball games and the silver cup in debating. But apparently his speed slowed down after graduation because he was holding a job not much better than Tom’s. But Tom explains that Jim was his only friend at the warehouse because Tom was valuable to Jim’s ego as a person who could remember his greatness in high school. The scene then opens on Amanda and Laura as they are preparing for the arrival of the gentleman caller. Laura complains that her mother is making her nervous, but Amanda continues to fuss over Laura and even uses two powder puffs to pad Laura’s breasts. Amanda goes away to dress herself and appears a little later wearing a very girlish frock held over from her youth. Amanda tells Laura that she will open the door when Mr. O’Connor comes. Laura is shock by this name and when she hears that the first name is Jim, she tells Amanda that she won’t be able to come to the dinner table. Since this would destroy all of Amanda’s plans, she will not abide Laura’s “silliness.” Amanda disappears into the kitchen, and, when the doorbell rings, she calls Laura to answer the door. Laura begs her mother to open the door and tells her that she is sick. Amanda forces Laura to open the door. After she has let them in, Laura goes as quickly as possible into the other room. Tom and Jim talk about the warehouse. Jim warns Tom that he is on the verge of losing his job, but Tom replies that his future plans don’t include working at the warehouse. He has used the money for the last light bill to pay his dues at the Merchant Seaman’s Union. But he warns Jim not to mention it because his mother doesn’t yet know of his plans. Amanda comes in and meets Jim O’Connor. She immediately bombards him with a long talk about weather, her gentlemen callers, and her past life. When Tom comes back from checking on the supper, he says that supper is already on the table and that Laura is not feeling well but Amanda refuses to begin supper until Laura comes. So Laura enters. Finally, Amanda notices that Laura is actually sick and tells Tom to help her to the living room. Laura lies shuddering on the couch while the others begin the evening meal.
