- You see, this girl's been writing to her people in Toledo. They want to meet the young man. So they come to New York. They stay at the Hotel Manhattan. Their very first day, she's to introduce him to her parents. One o'clock. Lobby of the hotel...

- Just walked in for a simple haircut. No, that wasn't enough, not for New York. They gave me a shampoo, scalp massage and a manicure. Thought they were going to tear my shoes off and paint my toenails.

- I had a lovely morning. Just did a little window shopping. Didn't want to get all tired out.

- On account of meeting that young man? Now, Mother.

- Who did you get a haircut for?

- Wonder what's keeping Helen.

- She'll be here.

- This Birnam fellow went to Cornell, didn't he?

- I believe so.

- But he never graduated. I wonder why.

- How old is he?

- Thirty-three.

- He has no job. As far as I can find out, he never had one.

- I wish Helen wasn't so vague.

- Maybe he has a little money. Some people do, you know, Father.

- He ought to have a job anyway.

- He's a writer.

- Writer? What did he write? I never heard of his name.

- Now Father, relax. You always expect the worst.

Save your saliva. I've had enough of you. Def, but def.
If we let you guys go home alone a lot of you don't go home. You just hit the nearest bar and bounce right back again. What we call the Quick Richochet.
