here how close I came to getting a hole in one but John if we convert the upper structure of the chassis of plastic that may save considerably on the cost as a matter of fact we had them do that with one of the models in the experimental stage and showed it to the sales department how do you like it come in are they raised oh she's really quite a model John where do you see her she's got the prettiest shape you've ever seen yes Nancy it's a report to Mr Murphy if we don't get to him pretty soon we'll never get them out in time golly it's 2 30 already I'm sorry Nancy I'll get him out just

by six and they can't start without it well we'll just have to skip dinner and go right on over there we'll be lucky to make it even then well that just makes me mad if he'd given us that report when he said he would we could have had it half done by now here it is Nancy get right on it now with you girls now it's all finished except I'd like to have you check the addition of the figures in this column here okay okay find me he's the one that's supposed to be the expert on figures from what I heard well come on girls let's get going well girls looks like everything's coming along all right

I'd really like to help you but uh Well Jack and I already have reservations down at the lake for the weekend and my mother-in-law is coming in town so I couldn't possibly come in now look here somebody's going to come in here to Brewster once that report and he's going to get it now how about some cooperation around here well well Mr Murphy we don't think it's fair of you to ask us to work overtime like this without some sort of notice we we feel that cooperation works both ways well of course it does what are you talking about well we had to miss our bowling meeting a couple of week weeks ago because of the last monthly report oh I'll be I explained to you that it was urgent business that delayed those figures and I told you I was sorry what else do you want me to do well we just feel that you might have made something special effort to see that we got the figures in time so that we wouldn't have had to work late Alice I did my best to get them to you on time I thought I could ask a little sacrifice every now and then I don't ask too much of you girls sacrifices you left at five and we were the ones who were left to finish with the work and after you spent all afternoon talking about women women what are you talking about now you girls look here my leaving had nothing to do about delaying that report I don't know why I can't get some cooperation around here cooperation how far do you want us to cooperate you're the one who went home and we're the ones that stayed and worked Alice what do you think cooperation is well
