From your bank.... I don't understand it.
EVERITT
It's simple enough. They won't make me another loan.
MRS. EVERITT
Well?
EVERITT
Between the unions and the new inspection--well, I can't finish the
Broadway contract on time, and I'm done.
MRS. EVERITT
Done?
EVERITT
Done. Smashed. I might save ten thousand dollars, that's all. My life's
work....
MRS. EVERITT
You mean money?
EVERITT
I mean the lack of it.
MRS. EVERITT
Is that all? Thank heaven!
EVERITT
All! But do you realize it means giving up the house, and beginning all
over again on ten thousand dollars?
MRS. EVERITT
I don't care. I was never happy there anyhow. And now I could be happy
doing my own work in a tenement.
EVERITT
I think I could be happy as a carpenter again by the day. But the
children. It's going to be hard for them. Walter's architecture.
WALTER
Father!
EVERITT
Good gracious! Where did you come from?
WALTER
I came back from the office.... I heard what you were saying. So that's
all right. But you needn't worry about my architecture.
