“Since when?”
“Ah been out a couple o' weeks. Ah'll tell you about it, Andy. Ah was comin' to see you now. Ah'm broke.”
“Well look, I'll be able to get hold of some money tomorrow.... I'm out too.”
“What d'ye mean?”
“I haven't got a discharge. I'm through with it all. I've deserted.”
“God damn! That's funny that you an' me should both do it, Andy. But why the hell did you do it?”
“Oh, it's too long to tell here. Come up to my room.”
“There may be fellers there. Ever been at the Chink's?”
“No.”
“I'm stayin' there. There're other fellers who's A.W. O.L. too. The Chink's got a gin mill.”
