A coupla months organizin' here, buildin' a big Tube, then...." Tommy's expression did not change. "If it were that easy," he said drily, "you wouldn't be bargaining. I'm not altogether a fool, Jacaro. We want those women back. You want something we've got, and you want it badly. Cut out the oratory and tell me the real price for the return of the women, unharmed."
Orville Jones announced, "Say, I heard a Good One the other day about a coupla Swedes and their wives," and, in the best Jewish accent, he resolutely carried the Good One to a slightly disinfected ending. Gunch capped it. But the cocktails waned, the seekers dropped back into cautious reality.
"Does your brother work around here?" asked Rose, assuming the air of one passing from the superficial to the eternal. "He oughta," replied Key. "I ain't seen him for a coupla years. I been out to Pennsylvania since. Maybe he don't work at night anyhow. It's right along here. He can get us some o'right if he ain't gone."
Say, juh notice in the paper the way the New York Assembly stood up to the Reds?" "You bet I did. That was fine, eh? Nice day to-day." "Yes, it's one mighty fine spring day, but nights still cold." "Yeh, you're right they are! Had to have coupla blankets last night, out on the sleeping-porch. Say, Sid," Babbitt turned to Finkelstein, the buyer, "got something wanta ask you about.
"Do you expect to get copy for nothing?" inquired the astonished and annoyed Banneker. "If it comes to that," retorted the sharp-featured young man at the editorial desk, "you're the one that's getting something for nothing." "I don't follow you." "Come off! This is red-hot advertising matter for Betty Raleigh, and you know it. Why, I ought to charge a coupla hundred for running it at all.
"Get a free ride to Tara!" "But how? I only got a few hundred credits and you ain't got much more. There ain't nobody going to go fifty billion miles on nothing!" Loring's eyes followed the massive figure of Major Connel on the slidewalk as it swept across the spaceport field toward the Polaris. "You just buy us a coupla seats on the next rocket to Venusport and stop asking stupid questions.
"I'm shore sorry," he went on, "but I'd like to call off that proposition about you riding for me. Coupla men used to ride for me one time are coming back unexpected. You know. Naturally you know how it is yoreself I'd like to have these fellers riding for me, so if it's alla same to you two gents we'll call it off. But I wanna be fair. You expected a job on my ranch. I told you you could have it.
"Guess you 'n' Whiskers 'n' the missus has bin gallivantin', eh, Juno, ole woman? Sort o' leadin' the gay life all down them coupla hunderd miles to the Hills whar nobody lives. Trust the women!
They closed the door softly and exchanged a glance of mutual comprehension. There was no need of feeling each other out. "I'd like to get my hands on a coupla those bottles," said Rose emphatically. "Me too." "Do you suppose we'd get seen?" Key considered. "Maybe we better wait till they start drinkin' 'em. They got 'em all laid out now, and they know how many of them there are."
Buddy led the way into his bedroom, piled his pillows together and gingerly lowered himself upon them. He showed his strong white teeth in a wide grin and winked meaningly. "I'll be all right directly. It's this here sim sympathetic booze they talk about. Have a drink, Mr. Gray? There's a coupla bottles of real liquor in the closet not this tiger's milk you get "
