Discussion of Salon Plans with Edward
Bill

Edward
Mrs. Monroe showed me where the salon's going to be. You could have a cosmetics counter.
Peg
Wouldn't that be great?
Bill
Great.
Edward
And then she showed me the back room where she took all of her clothes off.
Bill
Edward, I can't tell you how thrilled I am, I'm just as pleased as punch. This whole beauty parlor venture is gonna teach you volumes and nothing like running your own business. I've never done it myself, but from what I gather it's the greatest satisfaction a working man can have.
