TIPPY. That depends.
KEN. Let me explain. I know all about it. A man gets drunk in order to forget what he had on his mind when he was sober. And then he gets sober in order to forget what he said when he was drunk.
BISHOP. [Almost pathetically.] Then surely you are mistaken, son. You did not say these things to Mr. Prescott. You do not remember what you did say--or even if you spoke to him at all.
KEN. Oh, yes, I do remember. Because I was not drunk when I spoke to Prescott. And I am not drunk now.
BISHOP. My boy ...
KEN. I was drunk. That's how come I was disrespectful. A quart of whiskey makes any man disrespectful; but a cup of coffee makes a man respect his father, and two cups of coffee makes a man respect his wife.
MARTIN. Give him another cup and he'll respect Prescott.
KEN. Hello. Where'd you come from?
MARTIN. I've been here all the time.
KEN. That's fine. That's fine. Having a good time?
