Paul
He’s a nice kid, too. If Eileen’s got a date with Hart, why don’t she keep it? It’s half past eight.
His eye falls on his watch.
Lucille
Don’t you worry about that.
Paul
What about him and her, anyway? If she’s engaged to him, aren’t they ever going to get married?
Lucille
You’ll know as soon as there’s anything to know.
Paul
He’ll wriggle off the hook some way. If you ask me he’s getting tired of her already.
Lucille
With sudden interest.
What makes you think so?
Paul
Just the luck I’m running in. If I ever marry again, it’ll be a woman without a sister.
Lucille
She don’t cost you much, and she’s company for me.
Paul
What’s the matter with her getting a job somewheres?
The telephone rings.
Lucille
Yeah. You ought to be able to place her, with your influence.
