SCENE I

One dollar a week

The doorway of the house where Chandler has a room. He is dressed in his best clothes, ready for his evening out. He is going out as his friend, Jeff 'White, comes in.

WHITE What are you doing this evening, Towers?

CHANDLER (Smiling) Tonight I'm going to live like a man with a million dollars!

WHITE What are you talking about? You haven't got a million dollars!

CHANDLER How much money are you and I paid each week, Jeff?

WHITE Eighteen dollars. Why?

CHANDLER And how much of that eighteen dollars do you spend each week?

WHITE All of it, of course.

CHANDLER Well, I don't. Each week I save one dollar out of my eighteen. Then,

every ten weeks, I can buy myself an evening to remember.

WHITE What do you do?

CHANDLER I put on my finest clothes, go to one of the best restaurants in New York,

eat the most expensive food on the menu, drink the best wine, and then

take a taxi home!

WHITE ( A ) Why?

CHANDLER Why? Because it makes me feel wonderful to sit with some of 'the richest

people in America, and to make them think that I'm rich, too.

WHITE You're crazy!

CHANDLER (Laughing) Perhaps I am!

Mrs Black comes in.

MRS BLACK Ah, Mr Chandler. I wanted to see you.

CHANDLER Good evening, Mrs Black. What a lovely evening!

MRS BLACK Lovely evening perhaps, but you haven't paid me for your room this

month. When am I going to get the money?

CHANDLER Soon, Mrs Black. Very soon.

Mrs Black looks at Chandler s clothes.

MRS BLACK You can spend money on expensive clothes, but you can't pay for your

room. Is that right?

CHANDLER (Hurrying away) Good night, Mrs Black!

It truly makes my day when I receive emails from the readers wanting to share their beautiful wedding stories with us. The moment I saw the pictures of Rhona and Justin, I knew they were a very special couple. Their love for one another is so moving and I’m so excited to share their beautiful wedding stories. This is Rhona’s sweet email. Enjoy!

Hi, Janie,

I hope this email finds you well. I don’t really know how couples share their wedding stories with you, but I decide to email you. I really feel so lucky to have had a photographer and videographer for our wedding in Detroit, Michigan and I want to share it with you. Both of them truly captured (捕捉) everything I felt and the beauty I saw on our wedding day. It was truly the best day of my life.

Our family and friends came from around the country to congratulate us. We had our wedding in Detroit because my husband was finishing medical school at the University of Michigan. We wanted to find a way to prevent our families from travelling too far within a short amount of time, so we decided to have everyone meet in the middle. His family is from California and my family is from Georgia.

We had an amazing year leading up to our wedding. He proposed (求婚) to me the day I graduated from the university of Maryland School of Law. We didn’t know how we could afford a wedding, but our families came through, especially my mom, who covered almost half of the cost. It was amazing. Well, I planned the whole thing and it turned out to be a wonderful dream. I want to share our journey and story with anyone who is interested, because I want every couple to know that they can have their dream wedding within a budget (預(yù)算).

Sincerely,

Rhona
