'and heart break

to your children?'

'Leaving them helpless.'

Veritable..

Uh, veritable waifs of divorce.

That's rot. They can take care

of themselves in a lions cage.

That's a fine attitude

for a mother to take.

There's nothing wrong

with her.

Furthermore don't talk

to her that way.

- Michael.

- As long as she is my wife.

Let, let me appeal to you

as sensible people.

As parents.

Doesn't, doesn't the thing

you quarreled about

seem unimportant now?

Yes, it does.

Jo, I was wrong.

Every time I thought

about the way

you described yourself

in your book, it drove me crazy.

Described myself?

Oh, you know,

the character, Celeste.

'The kids said that you were

Marie and Evan too.'

What's all this got to do

with who takes the hot bath?

You got me, Judge.

They, they did say later

that's exaggerated.

Exaggerated?

I'll say they exaggerated.

Oh, darling, no wonder you

thought, what you thought.

- Not okay, Jo.

- 'Oh, you keep out of this.'

Yeah, you keep out of this.

- T-then it is untrue, isn't it?

- Michael, does it matter?

No, it doesn't.

Because I love you.

Oh!

Oh, then I can tell you.

Those little swine

made up the whole thing.

Your honor,

we've made a mistake.

Is it alright, if we asked you

to dismiss the case?

I'll dismiss the case

on one condition.

(Jo)

'Yes.'

From now on, promise to leave

some hot water for your husband.

Well, Judge, if it'll make you

any happier, I'll promise.

(Judge)

'Case dismissed.'

There's just one piece of

unfinished business.

That's for me.

Mm, well, there goes

10% of my life.

When you know the facts,

the divorce can be prevented.

You're right, judge.

I think, I can

congratulate myself

on having restored happiness to

a couple of innocent youngsters.

(Jeff)

Don't! No! Don't!

[indistinct shouting]

No!

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, the most outrageous

performances I've ever seen.

[shouting]

Jeepers! A dead end.

Now, wait a minute, Michael.

Couldn't we talk this over?

- Man to man.

- Mm-hm.

- 'I'll, I'll meet you halfway.'

- Mm-hmm.

Now, look,

no atrocities.

Father!

Hey, stop beating my wife.

Tom!

[orchestral music]
