Quote context

[...]

- I was never aware until recently how many men play pool.

- Oh, must be nine out of ten down at the bus depot who play.

- I think that the average is higher than that.

- Well, I'll show you how to stroke.

- You know, I was just thinking. You know, down at the bus company where you've got plenty of room, why don't you set up a recreation room, and set up a couple of pool tables, and the-the fellows can play pool?

- Recreation room?

- Well, certainly. Most of the drivers have a quick lunch, and they got time off, and they'd like to shoot a couple of games of pool.

- It's a relaxing game. I mean, to coin a phrase: a relaxed bus driver is an efficient bus driver.

- Well, that's a very interesting suggestion, Norton.

- You know, my greatest concern has always been easing the strain on my drivers. What with the traffic, overcrowded buses, trying to maintain a schedule, they have their problems.

- Oh, sure.

- You talk about the strain on the bus driver, huh? I've just often thought that you got to get the right person in the right job. I mean, some fellows are easygoing, and they're right for the rush hour crowds and everything.

- I think the most important thing is the temperament, and basic metabolism of the man.

- Well, now, that's very, very interesting. I like a man who can think on his feet.

- Thank you.
