BELLBOY: Yes, sir. The lower part of the hotel is about gone, sir.

BOB (still looking out—looks up): Still all right up above, though. (Turns to boy) Have they notified the Fire Department?

ED: Wait a minute. I can do better than that for you. (To the boy) Ring through to the Chief, and tell him that Ed Jamison told you to telephone him. (To Bob) We went to school together, you know.
