"Is that the string you go up and down on to pick people up?"

"How many times to I have to tell you Dad, it's a wire not a string and I don't go up and down on it. We have a man in the back that does that."

"So you are just a driver then?"

"Yes Dad, just a driver."

"So you rub it down and polish each night then I suppose?"

"Right now I do, yes Dad."
