Fred
Don’t you even know what time he’s coming?
Goldie
Can’t tell. His first day back in town—he’s probably got a lot of things to do.
She goes—and pretty disrespectfully, too.
Fred
It’s half past four. He said he was coming back at two o’clock.
Maxie
You get used to waiting in this game. I’ve been in it twenty-two years and nothing’s happened yet.
Fred
Paul’s coming right in. We want to play the song once before Mr.Mr. Hart hears it. I made a change.
Maxie
Whereabouts.
Fred
In the refrain. We had it “Sweet night-bird, hovering above,” now it’s “winging aloft.” You see, “aloft” means the same like “above.”
