The pair in the cab was the usual stuff: gab, gab, gab. Jesus, what a laugh!—“they lived happy ever afterwards.” The hackie slid between a bus and a sedan, grazing the car and making the driver mutter in alarm.

“G’wan, ya dumb son-of-a-bitch,” he yelled back.

The couple were at it again and he listened in, for laughs.

“I tell you, we’ve got our foot in the door. Don’t you see, baby, this is where it starts? With this house, I can gimmick it up from cellar to attic. I can give ’em the second coming of Christ if I want to. And you were swell, baby, just swell.”

“Stan, take your hands off me.”

“What’s eating you? Get hold of yourself, kid. How about a drink before you hit the hay?”

“I said take your hands off me! I can’t stand it! I can’t stand it! Let me out of this cab! I’ll walk. Do you hear? Let me out!”

“Baby, you better calm down.”

“I won’t. I won’t go up there with you. Don’t touch me.”

“Hey, driver, let us out. Right here at the corner. Anywhere.”

The cabbie took a quick look in his rear vision mirror. Before he got control of the wheel he had nearly piled the boat up against a light pole. Holy gees, the dame’s face was glowing bright green right inside his own cab!
