    CLAY: What did you see?
HARRY: O.K.-by-the-Sea, and this shop.(He gets out of the chair, goes to the hat tree (17), and puts on the hat hanging there.)
CLAY: I guess I’d never get a haircut if you weren’t in town, Mr. Van Dusen.
HARRY: Nobody would, since I’m the only barber.
CLAY: I mean, free of charge.
HARRY: I give you a haircut free of charge, you give me a haircut free of charge. That’s fair and square.(18)
CLAY: Yes, but you’re a barber. You get a dollar a haircut.
HARRY: Now and then I do. Now and then I don’t.(19)
CLAY: Well, anyhow, thanks a lot. I guess I’ll go down to the beach now and look for stuff.
HARRY: I’d go with you, but I’m expecting a little Saturday business.
CLAY: This time I’m going to find something real good.(20)
HARRY: The sea washes up some pretty good things, doesn’t it?
CLAY: It sure (21)does, except money.
HARRY: What do you want with money?
CLAY: Things I need.
HARRY: What do you need?
CLAY: I want to get my father to come home again. I want to buy Mother a present…
HARRY: Now, wait a minute, Clay. Let me get this straight.(22) Where is your father?
CLAY: I don’t know. He went off about a month ago.
HARRY: What do you mean, he went off?
CLAY: He just picked up and went off.(23)
HARRY: Did he say when he was coming back?
CLAY: No. All he said was, Enough’s enough.(24) He wrote it on the kitchen wall.
HARRY: Enough’s enough?
