KATE. He looks nice, doesn't he?
TED. [Trying to seem nonchalant, although he is obviously trying to justify himself.] I dropped by to remind Kate about the party.
KATE. And I inveigled him into a shop. Isn't it worth it? Transforms him. Ted wears clothes so well.
TIPPY. Agreed. The man makes the clothes. Martin in that outfit would look like an Oklahoma Indian who'd just struck oil.
KATE. Ted hasn't any business to look shabby. It's all right for Martin, but Ted just looks pathetic.
MARTIN. The only reason I don't wear good clothes is because I spill soup on them.
KATE. [Puts hat on TED'S head.] Now, tell me, do you really like the hat?
TIPPY. It's O.K.--Is he to wear it in the house?
TED. [Removes hat.] I feel the hat is not quite right.
KATE. He wanted a brown hat. But I thought gray was smarter.
