In a place like that you're thrown a great deal on your own resources. (ELIZABETH: Of course.) Lots of girls come out because they think they're going to have a good time. But if they're empty-headed, then they're just faced with their own emptiness and they're done. If their husbands can afford it they go home and settle down as grass-widows.
