Martin. Who’s putting up the money?

Rodney. (Reprovingly) Now, father, you cannot expect me to divulge a business secret to you, a rival manufacturer.

Peale. Oh, why not tell him, he is your father?

Rodney. Well, Peale, if you really think it is wise?

Peale. Oh, yes, I think it’s quite wise.

Rodney. It’s the Ivory Soap people.

Martin. (At once impressed and annoyed) The Ivory Soap people?

Peale. (Rises and goes to desk. Rubbing it in) Yes, the Ivory Soap people.

Martin. You mean John Clark?
