  Doretta : Polly - I just heard there's an opening in perfume.

  Polly Parker : Sorry, dear; not interested.

  Doretta : But Polly! That department always smells so nice, and it's on the first floor where you meet all the men. Aw, come on - settle down in perfume; stop bein' a floater.

  Polly Parker : I am not a floater.

  Doretta : Well, area girl, relief lady - whatever you are.

  Polly Parker : I am a contingent. At least, personnel says so.

  Doretta : A contingent?

  Polly Parker : I know. I didn't know what it meant, either, 'til I looked it up. According to Webster, contingent means "likely or liable, but not certain, to occur."
