- We'll settle it right now!

- With interest.

I don't love Warren Haggerty.

I'll never love him!

I never want to see him.

I never want to hear his name! I hate him!

- They're fighting!

- Warren!

Wait a minute!

Don't be a sucker.

You hear who she is calling?

Now, are you satisfied?

Say, I got an idea.

She'll feel sorrier for you

if I punch you in the nose.

Warren, darling!

Why, Bill!

I treated you terribly

and now you are hurt.

It's my fault, darling.

I'm just a mug, Gladdie, but I love you.

Let me see.

You're bleeding!

You big coward, you must have hit him

when his back was turned.

How dare you?

Are you all right?

What is this? What's going on here?

Hello, Father.

I got your telephone call. What's this?

Now be calm, please.

- I can explain everything.

- You'd better explain fast!

- You mean to tell me you married him?

- Yes, Father.

- Who is this woman?

- That's Bill's wife.

What?

Quiet, will you please be quiet!

Maurine Dallas Watkins

Maurine Dallas Watkins (July 27, 1896 – August 10, 1969) was an American journalist and playwright. In the 1920s she wrote the stage play Chicago (1926), about women accused of murder, the press, celebrity criminals, and the corruption of justice. Her play had a successful run on Broadway, during the roaring twenties — the play was then adapted twice for film. Watkins went on to write screen-plays in Hollywood, eventually retiring to Florida. After her death in 1969, Chicago was adapted in 1977 as a successful Broadway stage musical, which developed into an award winning 2002 film version. more…
