- Tootie Ramsey: Cinnamon! What are you doing here?
- Cinnamon: Oh, you said I could come visit you any time, so I thought this might be one of those times, so I did.
- [little self-conscious giggle]
- Cinnamon: Am I disturbing anything?
- [took off her coat, exposing bare midriff, much to young Andy's delight]
- Natalie Green: Not unless we're standing on a fault line.
- Andy Moffett: [his eye candy is holding the coat in front of herself] Can - can I take your coat?
- Cinnamon: Oh, thank you.
- Andy Moffett: [the coat is now out of the way] Anything else?
- Tootie Ramsey: Cinnamon, this is Andy. Andy, go home!
- Andy Moffett: [to Cinnamon] I'll be back in the morning. Bright and early!
- [goes off]
- Tootie Ramsey: And this is Blair.
- Cinnamon: Hiya.
- Blair Warner: [airily] Hi.
- [walks on]
- Tootie Ramsey: And of course you remember Beverly Ann and Natalie.
- Cinnamon: Uh, no.
- Beverly Ann Stickle: Oh, we met backstage with Tootie... during auditions, remember?
- Cinnamon: No.
- George Burnett: You remember me?
- Cinnamon: No.
- George Burnett: Good, 'cause we never met. Cinnamon's my favorite spice!
- [Natalie tosses a rag at him for being so forward]
- George Burnett: I'm George.
- Cinnamon: Hiya.
- Tootie Ramsey: [interrupting] Hey, how's the show going?
- [leads the pretty girl away from the carnivore]
- Cinnamon: Oh, fine. It's doing very well. People seem to like it. I've been replaced.
- Tootie Ramsey: Oh, no!
- Cinnamon: Oh, it's just as well, 'cause I decided to quit show business, and having a part on Broadway would just get in the way.
- [chuckles happily]
- Tootie Ramsey: You were good. Why would they fire you?
- Cinnamon: [shakes her head] Maybe I just wasn't good enough.
- [changes subject]
- Cinnamon: Hey, I've been looking for a penguin just like this.
- [fusses over ornament]
- Tootie Ramsey: I don't understand.
- George Burnett: Simple. She said she was looking for a penguin just like that.
- [to Cinnamon:]
- George Burnett: It comes with a clock too. Come on, let me show you.
- [leads her off]
- Tootie Ramsey: Blair, you were supposed to be here three hours ago to help get ready for tomorrow's sale. Now it's almost done!
- Blair Warner: [with sarcasm] Aw, shoot...! I could just kick *myself*...
- Beverly Ann Stickle: Don't worry, there's plenty of work left.
- [re the ornaments:]
- Beverly Ann Stickle: The penguins still need price tags.
- Blair Warner: Goody!
- Tootie Ramsey: [re Cinnamon losing her Broadway part] I still can't believe that they did this to her.
- Natalie Green: There are lots of reasons why these things happen. The producer could have had a girlfriend. The director could have had a girlfriend.
- [shrugs]
- Natalie Green: The investors could have had a girlfriend.
- Tootie Ramsey: Well, whatever it was, she can't let this one little setback stop her. I'm gonna go talk some sense into her.
- Blair Warner: [with sarcasm] Lots of luck!
- [snickers]
- Beverly Ann Stickle: Tootie, give her some time. She's been hurt. It's obviously affecting her self-esteem.
- Tootie Ramsey: I can't let her throw away her career. Cinnamon! Let's bring your bag inside, and we'll talk over some cookies and milk. I just bought some animal crackers.
- Cinnamon: Oh, just milk for me. I'm a vegetarian.
- [Tootie drops the suitcase in exasperation]
- Blair Warner: [haughtily] I never thought George would go for that type.
- Natalie Green: [with irony, mocking Blair] Yeah, just because she's blonde and has a killer body, it doesn't add up.
- Cinnamon: Hiya! You must be Jo. I'm Cinnamon.
- Jo Polniaczek: Cinnamon? Oh.
- Cinnamon: Beverly Ann and big George, they showed me all around Peekskill. I love Peekskill. It reminds me of my home. It had a bakery and a bookstore and a little man that fixes shoes. You know, nobody fixes shoes anymore, they just buy them and throw them away. Of course, they wear them in between. But it's really a shame, you know?
- Natalie Green: [to Jo] Two more cups of coffee, and that could have been you.
- Andy Moffett: [to Cinnamon:] What do you say, you and me ditch Mr. Goodwrench, and hit the town tonight?
- George Burnett: Too late. She's going out with me. Find yourself a girl with training wheels.
