Dialogue 4

[LULU, spoken]
Oh, Monsieur Blint?

[BLINT, spoken]
Rosie? Ah, Mrs. Stapleton. Did you hear the news about Wall Street?

[LULU, spoken]
No, I don't work the streets. I visit hotels.

[BLINT, spoken]
It fell today, amidst active trading. They estimate it will take four years to rebuild.

[LULU, spoken]
Poor little girls. I am thirty-four, Monsieur Blint.

[BLINT, spoken]
Naturally.

[FARTHING, spoken]
I wonder if I could go home a little early today, Mr. Haig?

[HAIG, spoken]
How early?

[FARTHING, spoken]
Now. My niece is on fire.

[HAIG, spoken]
The same excuse every time. What the hell is going on in there? I can't get to work with all that banging, what—

[Broken glass and voices screaming.]

[HAIG, spoken]
Hello? Hello in there? Miss Farthing? You all right? Well, just bring in whatever papers I wanted.
