The Boy Comes Home TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text PHILIP. Righto. (He puts his hand to his pocket. UNCLE JAMES shivers and looks at him to horror. PHILIP brings out his pipe, and a sickly grin of relief comes into JAMES'S face.)<br><br>JAMES. I suppose you smoked a lot in France?<br><br>PHILIP. Rather! Nothing else to do. It's allowed in here?<br><br>JAMES (hastily). Yes, yes, of course. (PHILIP lights his pipe.) Well now, Philip, what are you going to do, now you've left the Army?<br><br>PHILIP (promptly). Burn my uniform and sell my revolver.<br><br>JAMES (starting at the word "revolver"). Sell your revolver, eh?<br><br>PHILIP (surprised). Well, I don't want it now, do I?<br><br>JAMES. No.... Oh no.... Oh, most certainly not, I should say. Oh, I can't see why you should want it at all. (With an uneasy laugh) You're in England now. No need for revolvers here--eh?<br><br>PHILIP (staring at him). Well, no, I hope not.<br><br>JAMES (hastily). Quite so. Well now, Philip, what next? We must find a profession for you.<br><br>PHILIP (yawning). I suppose so. I haven't really thought about it much.<br><br>JAMES. You never wanted to be an architect?<br><br>PHILIP (surprised). Architect? (JAMES rubs his head and wonders what made him think of architect.)<br><br>JAMES. Or anything like that.<br><br>PHILIP. It's a bit late, isn't it?
