ENTERTAINER (affecting hopefulness): ...Perhaps it’s a good omen?
SONGBIRD (yelling moderately): Hello? Excuse me?

FORTHRIGHT: Ah!
FORTHRIGHT: The entertainment - aren’t you?
ENTERTAINER: That’s Ms. Entertainer, actually. Don’t worry, sodashops always get my name wrong too. And she’s Songbird.
SONGBIRD curtsies.
