JAWBONES Know why yer doing it?
GINGER [With shrill indignation.] Yus. Becos yer got me 'ere
alone, yer beast, with only that cracked image of a Mrs. Chinn -
JAWBONES That'll do.
GINGER [It is sufficient. She stops.]
JAWBONES None of your insults agen a lady as I 'olds in 'igh
respect. The rest of it is all right. Becos I've got yer 'ere
alone. You wimmin, you think it's going to pay you to chuck law
and order. You're out for a fight, are yer?
GINGER Yus, and we're going to win. Brute force 'as 'ad its d'y.
It's brains wot are going to rule the world. And we've got 'em.
[She has become quite oratorical.]
JAWBONES Glad to 'ear it. Take my tip: you'll use 'em.
Meanwhile I'll 'ave another cup o' tea.
GINGER [She takes the cup--is making for the window.]
JAWBONES [Fierce again.] I said tea.
GINGER All right, I was only going to throw the slops out of
window. There ain't no basin.
JAWBONES I'll tell yer when I want yer to open the window and call
for the p'lice.
