In this short scene, we learn that the "beastly boss" of the previous scene is not his real name, but that of a neighbor. We learn that his name is "Blythe" and that his job is to "swallow creak" and "suck pantas" . We also learn that he is "so excited" that he thinks he is going to do a special training exercise. We are told that the exercise will take 20 minutes and that he will need to "stretch" himself. The two men begin to argue about whether or not they should do the exercise, and finally, the two men agree to do it.
