Listen to the trouble _they_ make among us!
SIMPSON: It's an undesirable element.
RILEY: He had no right to buy them workmen out in the first place.
SIMPSON: And on top of that we can't git no work turned out because the
fourteen skilled men he's got in there have gone and started striking
just like the unskilled and they tie up everything.
RILEY: I claim he hadn't no right to buy them shares.
FRANKEL: I didn't?
ALL [_except_ SHOMBERG]: No, you didn't!
FRANKEL [_hotly at_ RILEY]: You look here. S'pose you needed money bad?
Ain't you got a right to sell your share?
RILEY: Sure I have!
FRANKEL: What you talkin' about, then? Ain't I got a right to buy
anything you got a right to sell?
RILEY: No, you ain't, because I object to the whole system.
FRANKEL: You do! [_Points to_ SHOMBERG.] Look there! Ask him what _he_
says. He's got four.
RILEY: I don't care who's got what! All I say is I object to the
system, and this factory'll git burned up if them wop workmen stay here
jest because he holds them shares!
SIMPSON: You're right about that, Riley!
SALVATORE: Why, you can't hear yourself think out in the shops when you
might be havin' a quiet talk with a friend.
RILEY: When them wops gits to talkin' strike it sounds more like a
revolution to me!
SIMPSON: Why, they're all inflamed up. They know what's what, all right.
FRANKEL: What do they know?
SALVATORE: They know you're drawing down on them shares about five or
six times the wages you pay 'em.
