JOHN. Why didn’t you marry the girl?
TULLY. She was so expensive.
JOHN. They all are. I don’t believe woman was the rib of man I believe she was the expendix—I mean the appendix—no use to anybody.
TULLY. That’s what makes me so timid. I’m so afraid that one of these days some woman will get me into a corner and make me do something thoughtless. (Cards dealt.)
JOHN. I shouldn’t worry about that if I were you. Let me see, it’s my call, isn’t it?
TULLY. Yes.
JOHN. Well, I pass!
TULLY. You pass? Well—I—I—you can’t hear the doctor coming, can you?
JOHN. N—o.
