Jojo Fine - a divorced English professor^[1]

Jayne Fine - a lesbian financier^[2]

Jelly Fine - an artist who loves boxes^[2]

In the prologue, entitled The Past, we are introduced to the three sisters-oldest to youngest: Jojo, a professor who is utterly captivated by her over-seas lover Brecht; Jayne, the systematic big cheese over at Bay Street and the closeted lesbian; and finally Jelly, the self-supporting artist who has a great love for peanut-butter(hence her name being Jelly). We are also introduced to the Torture Dress and the pearls (which are fake). Both of these objects were former possessions of their mother(who was not really their mother at all). Normally played with when the girls played dress up or tea party, she accidentally spilled tea on them when they were little and they have since banned her from ever having a tea party again.
When the Torture Dress is worn, the remaining Fine sisters must carry out whatever duty the sister wearing the dress commands. We are shown the powers of the Torture Dress in the first few moments where Jojo makes Jayne dance. Unlike the Torture Dress, the pearls are not to be played with. We learn this when Jelly lectures her sisters, also telling them that they were not allowed to be shoved into boxes. In the next scene, they have been requested by their father to hold a party one week from today (next Friday) to remember the one-week anniversary of their father's death. Jojo and Jayne do not realize that their father died until the very end of the scene after Jelly informs them seven times.
