Well — after I left Hollywood I took a job on a ranch in Nevada. You’da been proud of me, Seymour. In bed every night at ten, up every morning at six. No liquor — no babes. I saved up two hundred bucks!
[...]
And when I woke up, the dames was gone and so was my two hundred bucks! I went to the police and they wouldn’t believe me — they said my whole story was wishful thinking! How d’ya like that! Women are getting’ desperate, Seymour.

Inge, William. Four Plays. Grove Press, New York, NY. 1958. pp. 92-93.
