					PABST

					HERBERT

	Herbert goes after Douglas, but Benny steps in his way.

					BENNY 
			Easy.

					JULIUS
				(to Herbert) 
			Calm down, dear boy. We're 
			writers, not vikings.

					HERBERT 
			I'm not going to let some craven 
			fascist call me a pinko and get 
			away with it.

	Albert tries to change the subject to ease the tensions.

					ALBERT 
			Douglas, what'd you... uh, think 
			of my story?

					PABST 
			I loved it.
				(to Benny) 
			You see, Albert's got the right 
			idea. He's not interested in 
			Negroes or whites -- he writes 
			about robots.

					HERBERT 
			That's because he is a robot. No 
			offense, Albert.

					ALBERT
				(none taken) 
			I... uh, like robots. They're 
			very... efficient.
