- Show closes in Bucks County tonight, he'll be home tomorrow.

- That should make you happy.

- Overjoyed.

- Listen, I never told you about Gregory and me.

- You know what he said when he called me up? He said I should forget about my writing and find a job till his show reopens.

- He says it's my turn to work now. He intends to flop on the beach and turn nut brown. His very words. Damn.

- I was counting on having the rest of the summer. I could've finished by Labor Day.

- So tell him.

- I did. At which point, dear Gregory said that the world could wait for any play I might turn out, but the summer sun waits for no man.

- Who knows? He might be right about this play. He was right, God knows, about the others I've written. Nobody else cared much about them either.

- So I guess I'll work my bricks off. We need the money.

- Gregory's tired.
