Now, Fortissimo!

Hailey, in the midst of one of her expensive oboe lessons, gets a call from Rodrigo. She is still reeling from her encounter with the phony, counterfeiting, naked non-Guggenheim. His check bounces. Anyway, she now accompanies Rodrigo to a toxic waste sight. There is a great line. A man says, "Do you think I wear this hazmat suit for my health?" Ana Maria, the crazy violinist wife of Rodrigo, is in the area, living in a tent. Hailey has to talk the Maestro into going into the tent. The dialogue is quite wonderful. Their relationship is absolutely wild. Meanwhile, Liz comes up with some big money from an inheritance and is trying to figure out what to do next. Anyway, the big day is on its way. One subplot is when Cynthia gets high and sleeps with Bob, the Union guy, who has a small piccolo. Once again a fun show.
