The Snake Pit1948

Miss Greene:
You get off the rug, Virginia Cunningham! Come on! Come on! Get off of there! I've told you a dozen times we do not walk on our rug.

Virginia Stuart Cunningham:
Why not?

Miss Greene:
Because we don't! Understand? We're the only ward that has a rug. It's new, I mean it's clean, and we mean to keep it that way.

Virginia Stuart Cunningham:
Why don't you hang it on the wall?

Miss Greene:
Your wisecracks might have been appreciated in other wards, but in 12 they don't go over.

Virginia Stuart Cunningham:
Is this 12?

Miss Greene:
And what did you think it was? One?

Virginia Stuart Cunningham:
How long have I been here?

Miss Greene:
Too long.
