       is it a long one?

He: Yes, it is rather on the long side.

She: I think I will have to try a bigger one because the one I use

       Does yours go red on the end when it's dry?

He: Yes.

She: So does mine. In the past mine has been giving me much trouble.

       has been leaking these past few days so I have put a rag around
       it. I'll unwind it now (opening her handbag and producing her
       lighter). Look, here it is (dashing her lighter). It has run out
       again, damn... now I'll have to go back to matches.

The young man collapses.
