KEN. Laura went with Martin.

TED. Shopping?

KEN. That's right.

[_Pause._]

TED. Great to have the whole bunch together again, huh?

KEN. Yes, great.

[_Pause._]

TED. You seem satisfied with your job.

KEN. Hell yes. It's a great job. The salary isn't anything to boast
of--yet. But the future looks like a million. You see, Prescott
didn't hire me for any routine detail. He has men for that. His
object in taking me on was to develop for him my plans for
fabricated housing.

TED. Sounds fine.

KEN. Christ, Ted, do you realize what it means, after you've wasted
years, to get back and do _real_ work?

TED. Must feel _great_.

KEN. Ted, why don't you get a job?
