EEL: Isaacson.
GOLDIE: What Isaacson?
EEL: Why the fence on Second Ave. I'm aces with him.
GOLDIE: Yes, but what have you got to pawn?
EEL: I don't need nothing. I've thrown thousands of dollars his way in business, he'll lend me a century sure. I'll be back in fifteen minutes. (Goes to chair and gets coat and hat, then starts for door R.)
GOLDIE: Wait! (Crosses to mantel L. and gets keys from up stage end.) Here, take my keys. (Coming back to C. above trunk where EEL meets her putting on coat and hat.) To make sure, we'd better work on signals.
EEL: (Taking keys.) How do you mean?
GOLDIE: In case anything happens while you're gone, when you come back, ring the bell downstairs three times. If I don't answer, everything's O. K., come up; but if I do answer, don't come up, see?
EEL: If you don't answer, everything's all right, come up; but if you do answer, don't come up.
GOLDIE: That's it.
