B--Not bad - oh, it's just not comfortable. P--How was your dinner? B--Very nice. P--Who did they have there? B--Just MELVIN DOUGLAS and his wife and PRITCH. P--And yourself, and them. How is SHE? B--Lost a lot of weight, she doesn't look so very strong. P--Well, I am surprised she is up and around and able to give parties. She must be all right. B--Yea. P--I think TOM wanted to talk to you, didn't he BEN? Wait just a minute. B--Yea. How's the children? P--Ah, they're all right. TOM just came back from taking MARGARET down to see the fireworks. B--Oh, I forgot this was the Fourth of July. P--Yea. B--I don't know yet whether I am shipping off Friday or Wednesday. P--Friday or Wednesday of the following week? B--No, there is a possibility I may go Friday. I won't know until tomorrow afternoon. P--Well, you must feel kind of rotten BEN, huh? Did you have anything to drink tonight? B--A little.

He was weaving. P--He came upstairs just as I went upstairs--you know and there he was out in the hall with his drink. (Laughs) We had quite a conversation up there. B--I don't suppose he is so happy these days. P--I wonder what he is going to do? B--I don't know. P--I don't suppose he is - maybe that is why he was in the condition he was in. B--I imagine - that often explains. P--I think so too. Well, I will get TOM for you BEN, wait just a minute.
