TED. No, but who did?

TIPPY. The other guys on the backs of the workers.

TED. No one in particular threw me off.

TIPPY. Then maybe you just fell off. The worker's back is broad, but it's not broad enough to accommodate all of us.

TED. But you're not a revolutionist?

TIPPY. Hell, no. I'm a dog washer.

[KATE enters, excited, out of breath.]

KATE. Ted--guess what! I've got a job for you!

TED. [Not believing.] A job? For me?

TIPPY. You mean that?
