He also complained about the new singer, Scotty, who was late to the rehearsal.Bea reprimanded Scotty when he arrived late: "Mr.Kent is very strict about chorus people being on time." Scotty explained that he had been thrown out of the chorus.Francis joined them in conversation and made more fretful complaints about his total upset: "My hair""s turning gray with so much on my mind.Fran confides that she feels liberated, vibrant, young and free, desiring more adventure and a "new life" after twenty years of domesticity:After 20 years of doing what was expected of us, we""re free.
