TED. I haven't any. That's my trouble.
CASE WORKER. No occupation? You're not a minor. For adults occupation must be stated.
TED. Very well, I am a collector.
CASE WORKER. By what firms have you been employed?
TED. None.
CASE WORKER. Then how can you be a collector?
TED. You said I must have an occupation.
CASE WORKER. You are not helping me by lying and you may get yourself into trouble.
MARTIN. Is it the first time you ever ran into a man, who needed relief, not because he had worked, but because he hadn't?
CASE WORKER. [Snappily.] I didn't prepare those blanks, but I have to fill them out. One can have an occupation, like stenography, when trained for it, even though they have never been employed.
