Rodney. (Holding wire) It’ll have to be Old Rose.
Peale. Castile is the cheapest.

Rodney. Hello, this is the Martin Soap Company—we want to get some soap—pink castile—small cakes—40 or 50,000 cakes immediate delivery—what’s the price?
Mary. Hello, 480 Audbon. I want to find out if I can buy a lot of soap right away—Old Rose—castile—50,000 cakes; we want it this afternoon.
Peale. Hello, son, I want to buy a lot of soap: 50,000 cakes—got to have some of it to-day—smallest size castile cakes you keep. If you haven’t Old Rose—pink’ll do. Who am I? None of your business.
