some way if I can.

soony--You could if I needed something.
laurance--I feel so useless just hanging around with
nothing to do.
soony--Don't worry.In a couple of days there'll be too
much to do.Then you'll want to be back in these
lazy days.
laurance--I guess I'm just a workaholic.I never was very
good at doing nothing.
