[first lines]
Doretta : [clocking in at department store] Polly!
Polly Parker : Hi, Doretta.
Doretta : Polly - I just heard there's an opening in perfume.
Polly Parker : Sorry, dear; not interested.
Doretta : But Polly! That department always smells so nice, and it's on the first floor where you meet all the men. Aw, come on - settle down in perfume; stop bein' a floater.
Polly Parker : I am not a floater.
Doretta : Well, area girl, relief lady - whatever you are.
Polly Parker : I am a contingent. At least, personnel says so.
Doretta : A contingent?
Polly Parker : I know. I didn't know what it meant, either, 'til I looked it up. According to Webster, contingent means "likely or liable, but not certain, to occur."
