TED. Both dead.
CASE WORKER. Brothers and sisters?
TED. None.
CASE WORKER. What other close kin?
TED. I have one uncle and two aunts.
CASE WORKER. Do they live in New York City?
TED. It happens that none of them does.
CASE WORKER. Then we don't need them.
MARTIN. Pardon me, but how far in kinship does the responsibility go?
CASE WORKER. It depends. We can't force uncles and aunts to contribute, but we sometimes give them the opportunity to do so. However, this doesn't look like a kin folks case. And now, young man, just what is your occupation?
