Bette: I know Helena and Winnie are at Montauk with the children this weekend. Are you going out to join them tomorrow? Do you have any other Mother’s Day plans?

Peggy: Actually, we’ll all have dinner out when they get back to the city tomorrow evening. Tonight I’ll paint the town with a few of my old bitty buddies. We mothers take a bit of time for ourselves each year. Tonight it’s dinner and a show. I’m not sure what show as one of the girls is surprising us with tickets. My hunch says it’s something off broadway.

Tina: Bette took me to see a hilarious off Broadway show for Valentine’s Day. I think it was called “My First Time” people talked about their, first “experiences”. Oh gosh we laughed so hard.

Peggy: Well that sounds like something Mildred would select.

Bette: It would be a great choice for a girl’s night. I’m not sure many men could check their egos at the door long enough to really enjoy the show.

Tina brought out the lime chicken, jasmine rice and ratatouille plates. While Tina was baking the pound cake Bette grilled the chicken on the Foreman grill and it came out perfectly. Tina even added some fried plantains to give the dish more of an island flavor.

Peggy: Now that is a beautiful plate and I love the portion size, thanks for helping me keep my figure.

Bette: Well we have dessert, so don’t thank us too much.

They continue to eat and talk about family, art and the movie business. Bette clears the table and they agree to have coffee and dessert in the living room. Angelica convinces Peggy to come to her room for some playtime.

Bette: Good luck in there.

Peggy is pulled into the animal sounds game that is currently Angelica’s favorite. Both Bette and Tina chuckle at the Peggy Peabody be reduced to clucking like a chicken on the floor in Angelica’s room. Tina has put the cake, ice cream and berries in serving dishes and is drizzling the raspberry sauce in each dish. She adds a sprig of mint for garnish and carries the tray of desserts into the living room. Bette follows with the spoons, napkins and coffee service items. They head over to the bedroom doorway.
