MARTIN. Punk!
KEN. That's too bad. All right. Tell us what you think.
MARTIN. I think you ought to go home and sleep it off and then go back on the job.
KEN. Ain't got no job.
MARTIN. Well, I mean go back to Prescott.
KEN. Didn't you hear? There is no Prescott. There is no job.
MARTIN. Yes, but there's work. And work is more important than the matter of who pays for it.
KEN. Work for the wastebasket?
MARTIN. No. Not for the wastebasket. For whatever use it may be to the world. Your work is important because you are creating something. The pay system has stalled on you, so what? If your father is able to help to keep you at work, the best you can do is to accept it.
KEN. Have you gone screwy? [To TIPPY.] IS that Communism?
