PARKER. I don't suppose you've heard anything, have you?
ANDREWS. I never hear, Parker.
PARKER. Oh, say... come off. Why don't you drop a fellow a hint now and then?
ANDREWS. I can't afford to.
PARKER. It would never go beyond me. [A pause.] Say, Andrews.
ANDREWS. Well?
PARKER. Would you like to invest a bit for me now and then?
ANDREWS. I'm not hankering to, especially.
PARKER. I'll go halves with you on the profits.
