SCENE 6
- Alma tries to tell her parents to leave the rectory so that if maybe John does come that she can meet him herself. Mother is being annoying as usual and pulling up her skirt and spreading about Alma's business to the Reverend as he works on his sermon. He sort of insists on meeting John himself but Alma, being a woman, says she can do so herself while her father goes to his study and her mother goes upstairs.
- Alma says she doesn't judge John by all the gossip but I think she just really wants him to be a good guy since she likes him so much. (But the audience knows he isn't a great guy.)
- Reverend Winemiller refuses to retire quietely because he knows John is trouble. He wants to get a good look at him before he takes Alma anywhere.
- Alma is done with this, grabs her things, and heads off by herself-presumably to meet John. Woo! Paging Seargent Backbone here. Our dear sweet Alma is a-changing.
SCENE 7
- John and Alma are at a casino's restaurant. She's all worked up from the drive there and wants a pill that John won't let her have. John complains that they should have gone in the casino but Alma said it's no place for either of them: a minister's daughter and a doctor. It's odd to think these two people like each other because all they seem to do is bicker-sexual tension or no.
- Finally the two start talking softly to one another.
- Alma admits she never felt passionate about other men.
- They kiss and it takes Alma's breath away! But yet, John is still so worried over "intimate relations."
- He wants to take Alma to see a cockfight and then offers to take her up to a room above the casino. REALLY, JOHN? REALLY? Does he even KNOW her?
- Alma becomes anxious and angry and offended. She won't let John touch her and demands he call her a taxi. :(
