I
’
m
supposed
to
be
a
vice
-
President
now
.
The
Vice
-
President
in
Charge
of
Operation
.
For
God
’
s
sake
,
don
’
t
take
it
seriously
.
I
stood
it
as
long
as
I
could
,
and
then
I
had
to
escape
,
if
only
for
one
evening
.
.
.
The
first
time
I
came
down
here
for
dinner
,
after
my
alleged
promotion
,
they
all
stared
at
me
so
much
,
I
didn
’
t
dare
come
back
.
Well
,
let
them
stare
.
You
don
’
t
.
I
’
m
glad
that
it
doesn
’
t
make
any
difference
to
you
.
.
.
No
,
I
haven
’
t
seen
her
for
two
weeks
.
But
I
speak
to
her
on
the
phone
every
day
,
sometimes
twice
a
day
.
.
.
Yes
,
I
know
how
she
feels
:
she
loves
it
.
What
is
it
we
hear
over
the
telephone
—
sound
vibrations
,
isn
’
t
it
?
Well
,
her
voice
sounds
as
if
it
were
turning
into
light
vibrations
—
if
you
know
what
I
mean
.
She
enjoys
running
that
horrible
battle
single
handed
and
winning
.
.
.
Oh
yes
,
she
’
s
winning
!
Do
you
know
why
you
haven
’
t
read
anything
about
the
John
Galt
Line
in
the
newspapers
for
some
time
?
Because
it
’
s
going
so
well
.
.
.
Only
.
.
.
that
Rearden
Metal
rail
will
be
the
greatest
track
ever
built
,
but
what
will
be
the
use
,
if
we
don
’
t
have
any
engines
powerful
enough
to
take
advantage
of
it
?
Look
at
the
kind
of
patched
coal
-
burners
we
’
ve
got
left
—
they
can
barely
manage
to
drag
themselves
fast
enough
for
old
trolley
-
car
rails
.
.
.
Still
,
there
’
s
hope
.
The
United
Locomotive
Works
went
bankrupt
.
That
’
s
the
best
break
we
’
ve
had
in
the
last
few
weeks
,
because
their
plant
has
been
bought
by
Dwight
Sanders
.
He
’
s
a
brilliant
young
engineer
who
’
s
got
the
only
good
aircraft
plant
in
the
country
.
He
had
to
sell
the
aircraft
plant
to
his
brother
,
in
order
to
take
over
United
Locomotive
.
That
’
s
on
account
of
the
Equalization
of
Opportunity
Bill
.
Sure
,
it
’
s
just
a
setup
between
them
,
but
can
you
blame
him
?
Anyway
,
we
’
ll
see
Diesels
coming
out
of
the
United
Locomotive
Works
now
.
Dwight
Sanders
will
start
things
going
.
.
.
Yes
,
she
’
s
counting
on
him
.
Why
do
you
ask
that
?
.
.
.
Yes
,
he
’
s
crucially
important
to
us
right
now
.
We
’
ve
just
signed
a
contract
with
him
,
for
the
first
ten
Diesel
engines
he
’
ll
build
.
When
I
phoned
her
that
the
contract
was
signed
,
she
laughed
and
said
,
"
You
see
?
Is
there
ever
any
reason
to
be
afraid
?
’
.
.
.
She
said
that
,
because
she
knows
—
I
’
ve
never
told
her
,
but
she
knows
—
that
I
’
m
afraid
.
.
.
Yes
,
I
am
.
.
.
I
don
’
t
know
.
.
.
I
wouldn
’
t
be
afraid
if
I
knew
of
what
,
I
could
do
something
about
it
.
But
this
.
.
.
Tell
me
,
don
’
t
you
really
despise
me
for
being
Operating
Vice
-
President
?
.
.
.
But
don
’
t
you
see
that
it
’
s
vicious
?
.
.
.
What
honor
?
I
don
’
t
know
what
it
is
that
I
really
am
:
a
clown
,
a
ghost
,
an
understudy
or
just
a
rotten
stooge
.
When
I
sit
in
her
office
,
in
her
chair
,
at
her
desk
,
I
feel
worse
than
that
:
I
feel
like
a
murderer
.
.
.
Sure
,
I
know
that
I
’
m
supposed
to
be
a
stooge
for
her
—
and
that
would
be
an
honor
—
but
.
.
.
but
I
feel
as
if
in
some
horrible
way
which
I
can
’
t
quite
grasp
,
I
’
m
a
stooge
for
Jim
Taggart
.
Why
should
it
be
necessary
for
her
to
have
a
stooge
?
Why
does
she
have
to
hide
?
Why
did
they
throw
her
out
of
the
building
?
Do
you
know
that
she
had
to
move
out
into
a
dinky
hole
in
the
back
alley
,
across
from
our
Express
and
Baggage
Entrance
?
You
ought
to
take
a
look
at
it
some
time
,
that
’
s
the
office
of
John
Galt
,
Inc
.
Yet
everybody
knows
that
it
’
s
she
who
’
s
still
running
Taggart
Transcontinental
.
Why
does
she
have
to
hide
the
magnificent
job
she
’
s
doing
?
Why
are
they
giving
her
no
credit
?
Why
are
they
robbing
her
of
her
achievement
—
with
me
as
the
receiver
of
stolen
goods
?
Why
are
they
doing
everything
in
their
power
to
make
it
impossible
for
her
to
succeed
,
when
she
’
s
all
they
’
ve
got
standing
between
them
and
destruction
?
Why
are
they
torturing
her
in
return
for
saving
their
lives
?
.
.
.
What
’
s
the
matter
with
you
?
Why
do
you
look
at
me
like
that
?
.
.
.
Yes
,
I
guess
you
understand
.
.
.
There
’
s
something
about
it
all
that
I
can
’
t
define
,
and
it
’
s
something
evil
.
That
’
s
why
I
’
m
afraid
.
.
.
I
don
’
t
think
one
can
get
away
with
it
.
.
.
