We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
THE CLINIC
Libbey. — Just for maybe 2 weeks. You think he’ll mind?
Harry. — If he minds or doesn’t mind, take a vacation. Take it, and then tell him. If it was me, I’d take 4 weeks and with pay.
Molly. — All your big ideas you give to other people.
Harry. — Listen now, Molly.
Libbey. — Has he eaten ?
Harry. — He’s eatin’. You know what you gotta say to him, John? Like you was givin’ hint orders, not vice versa. Don’t stand for a negative answer. And if he tries to say some¬ thing, speak first.
Libbey. — I deserve a vacation.
Harry. — Sure you do. I deserve one myself.
Libbey. — I have a week coming to me from last year I didn’t take. So it’s only an extra week.
Molly. — Who’s gonna keep the books ?
Harry. — You’ll keep the books.
Molly. — Ho! Listen to him, me keep the books. You think he wants to come back and find a mess a figures upside down and every which way? I’m not messin’ John’s books.
Libbey. — I’m not coming back, so you don’t have to worry about my books, Molly.
Harry. — Not coming back, what d’ye mean? You quitting?
Libbey. — I don’t think I’ll come back, that’s all.
Harry. — {It dawns on him) John, you’re absolutely crazy! Get it out of your head once an’ for all. Don’t talk yourself into it! Are you crazy? That’s no mental condition to be in! How you like it, a guy with his brains lettin’ himself go like that. Why there’s millions a guys with operations every day an’ what happens to ’em. You think they have that attitude?! Where would they be if they had that attitude ! Okay, you’re feelin’ bad; you just come from the doctor’s; now you take a nice long rest . . .
Molly. — Don’t think such things, John. You mustn’t think such things.
