EILEEN. She's lost again. Oh, I wish I didn't have to get weighed——
STANTON. Miss Carmody.
(Eileen starts nervously.)
MURRAY (as she leaves him). Remember now! Break the scales!
(She walks quickly to the scales, trying to assume an air of defiant indifference. The balance stays down as she steps up. Eileen's face shows her despair at this. Simms weighs her and gives the poundage in a low voice to Stanton. Eileen steps down mechanically, then hesitates as if not knowing where to turn, her anguished eyes flitting from one group to another.)
MURRAY (savagely). Damn!
(Doctor Stanton writes the figures in his book, glances sharply at Eileen, and then nods significantly to Mrs. Turner who is standing beside him.)
STANTON (calling the next). Miss Doeffler.
(Another woman comes to be weighed.)
MRS. TURNER. Miss Carmody! Will you come here a moment, please?
