Twisted Ones (1959)
““I’d just like an answer to my question, Evelyn. This is one question the boy can answer. Now how about it, Chuck?”
“The elevator’s here now. Ask him, later.”
“Chuck?” said Howard Berrey, “Are you going to answer me?”
“Here, dad?” Did his father want him to say it right in front of his mother?
“Yes, here.”
“All right, dad. I was spoofing.”
“I knew it! I knew it!”
“Chuckles, are you serious?”
The elevator boy shouted: “Down! Down car!”
“Anyone knows a zebra swallowtail,” said Charles Berrey.
He looked up at his father and smiled broadly.
“You damn little brat!” said his father between his teeth, “You goddam little brat!” He caught a hold of the boy’s collar and shoved him toward the elevator.
“Be careful, Howard!” said Evelyn Berrey. “Don’t lose your temper here. Don’t talk in the elevator!”
The elevator boy touched his finger to his cap.
“Hi, folks. Tough luck, Chuck. Better luck next time.”
“Thank you,” said Charles Berrey.
