ACT I
Scene One: Friday morning
Scene Two: The following morning
(RUTH comes in forlornly and pulls off her coat with dejection. Mama and
Beneatha both turn to look at her.)
RUTH (dispiritedly): Well, I guess from all the happy faces-everybody knows.
8
BENEATHA: You pregnant?
MAMA: Lord have mercy, I sure hope it’s a little old girl. Travis ought to have
a sister.
(BENEATHA and RUTH give her a hopeless look for this grandmotherly
enthusiasm).
BENEATHA: How far along are you?
RUTH: Two months
BENEATHA: Did you mean to? I mean did you plan it or was it an accident?
MAMA: What do you know about planning or not planning?
BENEATHA: Oh, Mama.
RUTH (wearily): She’s twenty years old, Lena.
BENEATHA: It is my business-where is he going to live, on the roof? (There is
silence following the remark as the three women react to the sense of it.) Gee-
I didn’t mean that, Ruth, honest. Gee, I don’t feel that at all. I-I think it is
wonderful.
RUTH (dully): Wonderful.
BENEATHA: Yes - really.
MAMA (looking at RUTH, worried): Doctor say everything is going to be all
right?
RUTH (far away): Yes-she says everything is going to be fine…
MAMA (immediately suspicious): “She” - What doctor you went to?
(RUTH folds over, near hysteria)
MAMA (worriedly hovering over RUTH): Ruth honey - what’s the matter with
you-you sick?
(RUTH has her fist clenched on her thighs and is fighting hard to suppress a
scream that seems to be rising in her)
BENEATHA: What’s the matter with her, Mama?
MAMA (working her finger in RUTH’s shoulders to relax her): She be all right.
Women gets right depressed sometimes when they get her way. (Speaking
softly, expertly, rapidly).
Now you just relax. That’s right…just lean back, don’t think about
nothing at all…nothing at all-
RUTH: I am all right…
9
(The glassy-eyed look melts and then she collapses into a fit of heavy sobbing.
The bell rings.)
(The front door opens slowly, interrupting him, and TRAVIS peeks his head
in, less than hopefully)
TRAVIS (to his mother): Mama, I -
RUTH: “Mama I” nothing! You’re going to get it, boy! Get it on that bedroom,
and get yourself ready!
TRAVIS: But I -
MAMA: Why don’t you all never let the child explain herself.
RUTH: Keep out of it now, Lena.
(Mama clamps her lips together, and RUTH advances toward her son
menacingly.)
RUTH: a thousand times I have told you not to go off like that-
MAMA (holding out her arms to her grandson): Well-at least let me tell him
something I want him to be the first one to hear…Come here, Travis. (the boy
obeys, gladly.) Travis-(She takes him by the shoulder and looks into his face)-
you know that money we got in the mail this morning?
TRAVIS: Yes ‘m---
MAMA: Well-What you think your grandma gone and done with that money?
TRAVIS: I don’t know, Grandma.
MAMA: (putting her fingers on his nose for emphasis): She went out and
bought you a horse! (the explosion comes from WALTER at the end of the
revelation and he jumps and turns away from all of them in a fury. MAMA
continues to TRAVIS) You glad about the house? It is going to be yours when
you get to be a man.
TRAVIS: Yeah-I always wanted to live in a house.
MAMA (She takes an envelope out of her handbag and puts it in front of him
and he watches her without speaking or moving.) I paid the man thirty-five
hundred dollars on the house. That leaves sixty-five-hundred dollars. Monday
morning, I want you to take this money in a savings account for Beneatha’s
medical schooling. The rest you put in a checking account-with your name on
it. And from now on, any penny that come out of it or that go in it is for you
to look after. For you to decide. (she drops her hand a little helplessly.) It ain’t
10
much, but it is all I got in the world and I am putting it in your hands. I am
telling you to be the head of this family from now on like you supposed to be.
WALTER (stares at the money): You trust me that, Mama?
MAMA: I ain’t never stop trusting you. Like I ain’t never stop loving you.
(She goes out, and WALTER sits looking at the money on the table. Finally, in
a decisive
gesture, he gets up, and in mingled joy and desperation, picks up the money.)
