Lucille
Sweetly, to Paul .
That’s the place for you, dear.
Fred
No. A man’s got to be dead for twenty-five years.
Lucille
Well, that fits in.
Maxie
It’s too much for him.
I’ve got to be going along.
Paul
Wait! I want Stevens to show you one of his lyrics—have you got that one with you? About the game?
Maxie
I’ve got to be downtown at ten.
Paul
This won’t take a minute. Go ahead.
To Fred.
Fred
Life Is a Game
Maxie
A novelty!
Fred
Here’s the verse. Are you ready?
