...mother's got her thumb in some slob's soup . . . And you're not here because you want to help us . . . You're scared to death of us . . . you shake in your pants every time you pass us on the street."

But at its own level, Bus Stop is fresh and engaging. In catching the drift, and once or twice shifting the direction of his characters' lives, Inge has revealed the surface and something of the underside of all anonymous humanity...
