Andrew monologue (Act 3) — Beyond the Horizon

(_not noticing the sarcasm in_ ROBERT’S _voice_) You’ve no idea, Rob, what a splendid place Argentine is. I had a letter from a marine insurance chap that I’d made friends with in Hong-Kong to his brother, who’s in the grain business in Buenos Aires. He took quite a fancy to me, and what’s more important, he offered me a job if I’d come back there. I’d have taken it on the spot, only I couldn’t leave Uncle Dick in the lurch, and I’d promised you folks to come home. But I’m going back there, you bet, and then you watch me get on! (_He slaps_ ROBERT _on the back_) But don’t you think it’s a big chance, Rob?
