3 HELPERS & BABE
MAE Her name is Miss Williams.
ENTER SL
BABE: What’s the difference
SID: Oh I’m sorry, Miss Williams
BABE It doesn’t matter.
MAE Well, he ought to know the Committee’s right name.
BABE Take it easy Mae. Look, Mr. Sorokin. I have quite a
few problems of my own right now. This helper says
you socked him.
SID He does?
1 HELPER Yes, I do.
HINES ENTER SL SID Let’s say I shoved him. It sounds more refined.
HINES Mr. Sorokin, Mr. Hasler wants to see you in his office
right away
SID Tell him to ... Tell him okay.
HINES This is a crisis. The tops are fifteen minutes behind
the bottoms.
SID Let’s be practical. This is a lot of damned nonsense.
HINES & GLADYS
BABE We don’t happen to think so, Mr. Sorokin. You’re not

supposed to strike an employee. We have rules about
that.
SID I know. For both sides, I hope. Listen, Miss Williams,

BABE You think so?
SID He wants to be a Bank President. I don’t believe he’s
happy as a factory helper.
MAE I don’t see what all this has to do with it.
BABE Forget it, Mae...Well, it seems you haven’t made a
very good impression on our new superintendent.
1 HELPER He ain’t got no right to push me around. Especially on
my weak arm. GONG GONG GONG.
SID Look, Miss Williams. I’ve got to get this factory going.
CHARLEY EXIT SR Can’t we take this up later?
BABE Of course we can, Mr. Sorokin. That’s in the rule book
