Scene 10

No, Stanley doesn't believe the story. Blanche tells Stanley that she received a telegram from Shep Huntleigh, inviting her to take a cruise of the Caribbean on his yacht. Stanley plays along, for now. He's feeling amiable, and offers Blanche a beer to bury the hatchet, saying it’s a red letter night for them both due to the baby and the oil millionaire. Stanley is playing around and will soon manipulate her.
