Georgiana. Well, it usually costs Steve all he has! But I thought you—
Coast. [Interrupting.] Miss Georgiana, you see this false nose?
Georgiana. Yes.
Coast. [Putting it on.] Well, now what do I

Coast. Exactly! Well, see? That's what I'd be if I believed in tips and "inside information." If a man gives your brother a good tip, let him drop it like hot lead. People with a real good tip ain't giving it away. There's never enough to divide up and go around,—not in this world,—and inside information that gets told to a lamb like your brother is too damned outside information for me!
[He rises and moves away, half in irritation, half in humor.
Georgiana. Oh! Oh!
Coast. Pardon.
