"Let's get out of here," said Miss Knox.
"—to prevent further misuse of this equipment."
"Get on the bed," said Dr. Brooks. "If they saw you go up to Boney, we can't leave it here."
"Furthermore, any private or unauthorized use of this or other hospital equipment may be punished by immediate dismissal—"
Miss Knox took a step toward the motorbed. "I'd like to look in on Mr. Barger."
"—with particular application to the young woman who used a motorbed tonight to visit a sick friend."
Miss Knox stood feet apart, hands on hips. "The dirty son of a bitch," she said.
Miss Erwin came running across the Mushroom, white pumps clacketing half off her feet. "Oh!" she said, and stopped, panting. "Has the world really been taken over by admen?"
Brooks stopped the motorbed. "Just America," he said, "and only a few admen." He helped Miss Knox down and they all walked toward the emergency rooms.
