BISHOP. My boy, you haven't it in mind to go to Russia?
KEN. [Evasive.] Wanting doesn't get you there.
BISHOP. Why, of all places in the world, should you want to go to Russia?
KEN. There is no unemployment there. They need men.
BISHOP. [Impatiently.] Oof! Russia ...
[TED enters. He still has the book.]
TED. [Greeting BISHOP with aloof diffidence.] How do you do, sir?
BISHOP. [Very cordial.] How are you? How are you?
TED. [Sees KEN looking at his book.] My man wasn't in. I'll go back and try again later. Is Kate here?
KEN. No. She stepped out.
