Jan, Sue, and Mary haven't seen each other since leaving school. They
rediscover each other via Facebook and arrange to meet for
lunch.
Jan arrives first, wearing a beige Versace dress. She orders a bottle
of Pinot Grigio.
Sue arrives shortly afterward, wearing a grey Chanel number. After the
initial hugs and kisses she joins Jan in a glass of wine.
Then Mary walks in, wearing a faded old tee-shirt, blue jeans and
boots. She too shares the wine.
Jan explains that after leaving school and attending Stanford University
she met and married Timothy, with whom she has a beautiful daughter.
Timothy is a partner in one of San Francisco's leading law firms. They live in
a 4000 sq ft apartment and Susanna, the daughter, attends
drama school. They have a second home in Palm Springs .
Sue relates that she graduated from Vassar , studied to
become a doctor and became a surgeon. Her husband, Clive, is a leading
financial investment banker in the City. They live in the Hamptons
stockbroker belt and have a second home in Connecticut .
Mary explains that after she left school at 17, she ran off with her
boyfriend, Mark. They run a tropical bird park in Tampa and grow their
own vegetables. Mark can stand five parrots, side by side, on his erection.
Halfway down the third bottle of wine and several hours later, Jan
blurts out that her husband is really a cashier at Target, they live in
a small apartment in Sacramento and have a van parked on the front
drive.
Sue, chastened and encouraged by her old friend's honesty, explains
that she and Clive are both nursing care assistants in an old people’s
home. They live in Lakeland and take camping holidays in Mississippi .
Mary admits that the fifth parrot has to stand on one leg.
