Post5.1: May the Circle be Unbroken

[BeatleMoe]

This episode is about Julia saying goodbye to Randa Oliver. Though she holds up well for the others, she's upset behind closed doors.

SCENE 1 (at Sugarbaker's)
SUZANNE: So where is everybody today?
CHARLENE: Julia and Mary Jo are over at the Hall's going over the new den and Anthony is taking Randa to the mall.
SUZANNE: I can't believe that they are taking that little brat out! It doesn't look right anyway.
CHARLENE: What doesn't look right?
SUZANNE: A white girl and a black ex-con, that's what!
CHARLENE: Suzanne! You have to stop those remarks. I get so sick of you making comments about Anthony like that, and you know that Randa has changed a bunch since Julia agreed to take care of her.
SUZANNE: Boy, you sure stick up for Anthony a lot? Are you having an affair with him or something?
CHARLENE: Suzanne, that is ridiculous! You know, the way you two spend your time together makes me wonder if you two have a thing going on.
SUZANNE: Charlene, that is just stupid. I find it to be normal for Anthony to come to my house and wax my legs and try out new skin moisturizers, don't you?
CHARLENE: No I don't. I find that odd and creepy. (Enter Mary Jo and Julia)
Oh hi y'all? How was the Hall project this time?
JULIA: Never mind the Hall's. Mary Jo will just go off on a tirade.
MARY JO: Tony and Cassandra Hall have to be the most annoying clients that we have ever dealt with. Californians living in Georgia! Is that not absurd?
SUZANNE: I find them to be nice.
JULIA: Suzanne, you find out that anyone with money is nice.
SUZANNE: What's your point?
MARY JO: Don't you like anybody that doesn't have money?
SUZANNE: No I don't Mary Jo. Money is everything.
CHARLENE: Speaking of money, are you still penning with that Emperor Hirohito's nephew?
SUZANNE: I don't know what penning is, but we do write to each other. I just think he is the nicest man that I have ever dated.
MARY JO: You haven't even dated him yet!
SUZANNE: Well we've "wrote" about it Mary Jo, OKAY? (enter Anthony and Randa)
RANDA: Julia, you should see some of the things that Anthony got! They opened an African-American history shop in the mall, and he got me a friendship bracelet!
ANTHONY: It was nothing.
SUZANNE: (glances at it) You got that right! Not a diamond in there.
JULIA: Suzanne! It's very nice Randa.
RANDA: Ooh, I better change for the game! (phone rings)
CHARLENE: Sugarbaker's...Yes, Mrs. Oliver she's here. Julia, it's Randa's mother.
JULIA: Hello...So soon?...Well yes I can have her ready. Actually she has a ballgame today, she's the starting pitcher. You know the place? Alright, we'll see you then. (Hangs up) I guess the Oliver's are back from Europe.
