Philo Swift:
'Gaylord Esterbrook'... seems to me I've heard or read that name someplace. What do you do?
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
I write plays.
Philo Swift:
Er, yes, I have a hobby, too. What I meant was, what do you do for a living?
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
Write plays. Anything wrong?
Philo Swift:
No, no; nothing, nothing. You'll pardon me, but it does seem a little trivial for a grown man.
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
Well, perhaps I'll grow out of it. What do *you* do?
Philo Swift:
I'm on Wall Street.
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
Where's that?
Philo Swift:
I don't know, but my chauffeur finds it every morning.
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
After you get there, what do you do?
Philo Swift:
Buy and sell stocks and bonds.
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
Surely not for a living?
Philo Swift:
And not a bad one. When stocks go up, I make a little money. When they go down, I make even more.
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
That all you do?
Philo Swift:
Well, yes!
Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
Well, who knows; maybe you'll grow out of it, too.

Gaylord 'Gay' Esterbrook:
Here's hoping!
