TED. Chiefly on borrowed money.
CASE WORKER. From whom did you borrow the money?
TED. From friends.
CASE WORKER. You have very prosperous friends?
TED. I had some prosperous friends.
CASE WORKER. You are extremely well-dressed for an applicant for relief.
MARTIN. Let me explain that. We were to have a little dinner party tonight ...
CASE WORKER. And he bought a new outfit for this dinner.--Hasn't even had time to remove the price tags.--Do you mind removing your coat?
TED. [Takes it off.] I was about to take it off. I'd just come in.
CASE WORKER. [She rises and looks at maker's label in coat.] H'm. Madison Avenue. [Noses his suit at close range.] And the suit is better than the coat.--This is the best I've run into yet. Expensive suit and coat; new shoes; matched accessories. Not much left of a hundred dollar bill, was there?--But I suppose your rich uncle died since you applied for relief?
