Can someone tell a story about what a witch she was to everyone in LEGENDS! please?

P

ETA: Nevermind.

PEOPLE: What do you think of the changes you've seen over the years in the business?

Martin: I'm upset because it costs so much to see a show. It's just wicked, $45 or $46 a ticket. That's a hell of a lot for one show.

Channing: But, Mary, everything has gone up that much. Refrigerators have gone up that much. I don't think it's just the theater...

Martin: Oh, yes, Carol, there more than anywhere.

Channing: Theater has gone up more than a refrigerator?

Martin: Let's say this. A refrigerator you have to have in your house. You don't have to have a show.

Channing: Oh, yes, you do.

Martin: No, you need a refrigerator in your house or everything will spoil. We in our business supply a release from life to forget your problems. But we're not completely necessary for daily living.

Channing: For me it's a necessity. I would rather see a show than eat, I think.

Martin: But you have to eat!

Channing: No, you don't, but you have to lift yourself up from the mundane into a wonderful world.

Martin: Neither one of us is practical in any way whatsoever, and why I got on a practical subject I don't know.
