Storyline

A waitress meets personable, attractive Adam and they soon become lovers, then get engaged. Wasting no time, Adam starts an affair with her bookish sister, who knows about the first relationship. Their (none-too-happily) married third sister knows about both these liaisons but is still attracted to Adam. The lad is certainly playing the field, but in their own ways the girls seem to be getting just as much out of the deal as him. Written by Jeremy Perkins <jwp@aber.ac.uk>

Quotes

[Lucy is talking into a microphone onstage at the restaurant]
Lucy Owens: My family's here tonight sitting at that table over there. Were celebrating my mum's birthday today. We all love you, Peggy Owens! And, there's a man down there in my crowd called Adam and he's my fella. And I know my mum's mad about him. So I thought the best present I could give my mum would be to say that him and I are going to get married.
[Crowd starts cheering loudly]
Lucy Owens: Oh, wait! No, no, no! No, no! Wait, wait, wait! You see, I haven't asked him yet. So, Adam, I'm asking you now. Will you marry me?
