GEGE?
Fred
General Electric. They call it the GEGE. That’s where their plant is, Schenectady.
Edna
Feeling that it’s all right to help along.
I’ve got a girlfriend from Schenectady.
Fred
Is that so?
Edna
She’s in New York now, or at least she was the last time I heard of her. Working at Saks’. Grace Crowell.
Fred
I used to know a Mildred Crowell, but her name wasn’t Grace.
Edna
Refusing to give in.
This was Grace. I haven’t seen her for years, and I never did know her very well.
Fred
Mildred Crowell’s brother was quite a billiard player. Three cushions. Eddie, his name was.
Fred
Oh! Eddie Crowell used to pretty near live on the billiard table. Then finally his health broke down and he went out West somewheres. I couldn’t tell you now if he’s dead or alive.
He comes back to vital matters.
