KATE. He doesn't act as if he wanted to know.

TIPPY. Don't get sensitive.--And I haven't played my game out.

KATE. All right. Go on.

TIPPY. [Thinks a moment, then brilliantly.] Will he wear a uniform?

KATE. Yes.--You guessed it. [TED grows dismayed.] The job is elevator operator in the Graybar Building. It's a cinch. You don't even have to stop the car. You just push buttons.

TIPPY. Automatic. All but the phonograph. And you're it.

TED. In uniform!

KATE. [Impatiently.] Well, what of it?

TED. And push buttons.... Floor, please. Two please. Five please. Right please. [Laughs harshly.]

KATE. Oh, so it isn't good enough for you!
