Mr. Grub: Well, I'm almost down and out!! Let's go and get a little bite to eat, Mr. Bunion! I have a few minutes and I feel like eating something. Come go with me!

Mr. Bunion: Bring a plate of chicken soup, small steak, and a glass of milk.

Mr. Bunion: He meant perhaps to diet yourself not to stop altogether! Mr. Grub: I'm a big eater, always was! I love to eat! A doctor must put the blame on some vice, eating is not a vice surely if so I'm very wicked!

/
Mr. Bunion: Yes, I suppose constantly being under a nervous tension-- Mr. Grub: Oh forget it, get away from me, shut up, I"m going home, I hate you! I hate myself, everybody, the world, the universe, fade away and leave me alone! I'm mad!
