Which line in this excerpt from The Still Alarm by George S. Kaufman demonstrates the use of understatement? ED (crosses up to R. window—peering out): It's reached the floor right underneath.

BELLBOY: Yes, sir. The lower part of the hotel is about gone, sir.

BELLBOY: I wouldn't know, sir. I'm only the bellboy.
