JIM. Humph!
AUSTIN. That's too bad. I will have to do something for you.
JIM. Will that bring my wife and babies back to life?
AUSTIN. Oh, your family died! My God... that's terrible! [A pause.] Faraday, I can't help that. What can I do? Listen, man... you see how unhappy my wife is... you don't want to make the thing impossible for me, do you?
JIM. I ain't doing anything.
AUSTIN. Be reasonable, and let me atone for the mistake. We'll say nothing about this... about tonight. We'll start over, and I'll see that you get a good job, and a fair chance.
Jim. Humph!
AUSTIN. Will you do that? I'm honestly sorry about it. And perhaps if I can give you some money for a start..
[Takes out purse.]
JIM. Put up your money. It ain't likely you've got as much there as I'd have got from the company.
