Inspector Barnes:
Do you enjoy doing this line of work? Ella:
Oh, I love it here. I used to be a plain switchboard operator in a lingerie house. Pretty dull. Except for a little Modeling on the side. Inspector Barnes:
Modeling on the side, eh? Ella:
But, this is so much more personal. I come into contact with so many different types. And I can give each one the particular kind of help he needs. My cousin Sue thinks I spend too much time with each one. She keeps saying, "Get it over with," and "Get on to the next one."
