Determined to find a doctor to perform an abortion on Roberta, Clyde thinks of one person who might know someone: Orrin Short, the owner of the shop where Clyde buys his clothes.

Clyde asks Short if he knows of a doctor who does this sort of thing, saying that he's only asking for a young married man at the factory who needs to know. Short gives him the name of a man he's heard about, suspecting that Clyde is really asking for himself.
