Sylvia says the fund raising luncheon is over and was a success. Talks about the dissolution of the 3rd International.
Tells him about her financial situation. The luncheon made $25 dollars, which is good since her office paid a considerable amount for the food. She explains that her and Mad (sister) made an arrangement to share responsibility in proportions to income. She reassures Moe that she will not starve and neither will their guests.
