REDDY:
The folks in this town are the stingiest I ever see. I won't visit
em again, no matter how often they ask me.
(Rising and crossing to buffet)
I wonder if these folks is vegetarians, too.
(HATCH enters)
HATCH:
It seems all right. There's no light, and everybody's quiet.
(To HARRY)
You work the bedrooms. I'll clear away those things. Don't be
rough, now.
HARRY:
I know my business. Give me the light.
(Takes lantern and exits centre)
HATCH:
Hist, Reddy. Reddy, leave that alone. That's not safe.
(Removes silver from sideboard to bag).
REDDY:
I know it ain't, governor. I'm lookin' for somethin' to eat.
(He kneels in front of buffet, and opens door.)
HATCH:
No, you're not! You're not here to eat. Come and give me a hand
with this stuff.
REDDY:
Gee! I've found a bottle of whiskey.
(Takes bottle from buffet and begins to pull at the cork.)
HATCH:
Well, you put it right back where you found it.
REDDY:
I know a better place than that to put it.
HATCH:
How many times have I told you I'll not let you drink in business
hours?
REDDY:
Oh, just once, governor; it's a cruel, cold night.
