Theater Five - Five Strangers

At an airport in a Midwest city, four strangers have been somewhat patiently waiting for their flight to Chicago, when the loudspeaker announces "Ladies and gentlemen, there's been no change in the weather over the eastern and central portions of the country. The extremely foggy conditions are expected to extend at least into the midmorning hours. All flights to and from this airport have been cancelled until further notice". One of the men says "Oh, this cursed fog. Just look at it out there". A nearby woman says "I beg your pardon. Were you speaking to me?" The man says "Oh, no. I'm sorry. It's this rotten weather. I've been here at the airport for nine hours waiting for it to lift". The woman says "Yes, I saw you when I arrived". The man says "Haven't I seen or met you somewhere before?" After a few seconds, he says "Of course, Baines Cosmetics. You're Deborah Baines". She says "That's right". He says "Yes. I remember now about the newspaper story. It  concerned your new line in cosmetics, right?" Deborah says "Well, it's a little more than that. You see, I've been negotiating with another leading cosmetics firm for .... Well, I really shouldn't be discussing it". He says "Oh, I understand perfectly, but it must be pretty important". Deborah says "It's extremely important. A great deal depends upon my arriving in Chicago before 9:30 in the morning". He says "Well, that makes two of us, Miss Baines. My deadline is 10:00 AM. By the way, my name is Monroe. Steven Monroe". Deborah says "Oh, not Steven Monroe Enterprises". He says "Uh huh". Deborah says "Well, now it's my turn to be impressed. I've heard quite a lot about you, Mr. Monroe". Steven says "Ah, don't you believe more than half of it". Deborah says "Which half?" Steven says "Well, the half, I hope they believe". Deborah says "They?" Steven says "Yeah. The two over there on the bench. The old man and the, uh ... lady". Deborah says "Did you say lady? She does seem a bit overpainted". Steven says "Doesn't she? With Bane's cosmetics, I trust".
