No,
before I'd stand pain like that I'd go an' put a bullet through my head.
EDE
Gee-rusalem! That's a wind again. Look out, Doctor, that your hat don't
fly away.
_A hat is whirled by the wind along the street. SCHMAROWSKI, hatless,
a roll of paper in his hand, runs chasing it._
EDE
Run along, sonny! Right on there! Show us what you c'n do!
DR. BOXER
That hat is tired of his position: wants a holiday.
SCHMAROWSKI
[_Who has recovered his hat, turns angrily to DR. BOXER._] What was that
very appropriate remark you made just now?
DR. BOXER
That you are an excellent runner.
SCHMAROWSKI
Schmarowski!
DR. BOXER
Boxer!
SCHMAROWSKI
Much pleased.--Now I'd like to ask you a question. Do you know what a
fathead is?
DR. BOXER
No.
SCHMAROWSKI
You don't? Neither do I. But now tell me: you know what a _schlemihl_ is,
I suppose.
LANGHEINRICH
Nothin' broke loose here? What's all this about? Easy now, easy! Howdy
do, Mr. Schmarowski? How are you? Have you come to visit your
mother-in-law?
SCHMAROWSKI
I have business here!--And before I forget it, I should like to say: Have
the goodness to be more careful.
DR.
