A Day at the Races1937

Hackenbush:
At the age of fifteen I got a job in a drugstore filling prescriptions.

Whitmore:
Don't you have to be twenty-one to fill prescriptions?

Hackenbush:
Well, uh, that's for grown-ups. I just fill them for children.

Whitmore:
No, no, Doctor. I mean, where did you get your training as a physician?

Hackenbush:
Oh, well, uh, to begin with I took four years at Vassar.

Mrs. Upjohn:
Vassar? But that's a girls' college.

Hackenbush:
I found that out the third year. I'd 've been there yet, but I went out for the swimming team.

Whitmore:
The doctor seems reluctant to discuss his medical experiences.

Hackenbush:
Well, medically, my experiences have been most unexciting. Except during the flu epidemic-

Whitmore:
Ah, and what happened?

Hackenbush:
I got the flu.
