OLIVER: (TALKING TO A MAN ON THE PHONE) You haven’t got any idea. You haven’t got an idea in the world, no sir. If I was to do the right thing I’d take him and I’d cut his head off. As a matter of fact, Eddie, if I had the - the intestinal fortitude of a - of a llama or something - a llama. You know, like in crossword puzzles. It’s some kind of camel or something that lives up in the mountains. I said if I had the courage of a llama, I’d just up and kill the man! What? Oh, it’s all right, for heaven’s sake, nobody’s listening on the telephone! Oh, is that so? Well, I’ll stack up old man Everwein against your boss and day, and give you two-to-one odds, too. Did I tell you about this morning? Well, you know when I saw you in the drug store when I was having coffee - huh? Oh, you know her. She’s a model. I just rand into her as I was going into the drugstore, and I said have a cup of coffee with me. I don’t know. Peters, or Peterson, or something like that. Evelyn. Evelyn Peters, or Peterson, or something.
No, costume stuff. Well, when I was in the drugstore - oh, I’m sorry, I meant to give you the seventy-five cents I borrowed, and I forgot all about it. Remind me, will you, Eddie? Oh, not in the drugstore. That old - that old goon has forbidden every one of us to go downstairs for coffee during working hours. Everwein! It’s all right; he can go down and drink coffee till it runs out his ears, but the Art Department can sit up there and starve for all he cars. Well, I think it’s pretty small of a man. After all, we’re not just laborers, you know. Oh, what I started to say: right after you walked out, he walked in. No, I was talking to this Peters, or Peterson, or whoever she is, and I didn’t see him at all. First thing I knew was he shoved that great big ugly unshaven puss of his right between me and this Peterson character - oh, I wasn’t saying anything! - and he said Oliver, did you forget your drawing-board? I give you my word, Eddie, boiling hot coffee - I pretty near incinerated myself I was so startled! And I sort of burbled through the coffee, I said like an utter idiot what drawing-board, Mister Everwein? And he said the one you left upstairs. He said do you want me to bring it down here, Oliver, so you can combine business and pleasure? And that Peterson, she laughed right out loud. I could kill her too! What?
