Mother, I'm not going

back on the witness stand.

- But, Jeffrey!

- You see, I'm going to marry Mary.

If she'll still have me after this.

I don't want to hurt you, Mother.

So...so, I won't say what I'm thinkin'.

But from now on I'm gonna live my

own life, the way I want to live it.

I'm sorry, Mother.

The Court is about to convene.

The Court is now in session.

Recall the witness.

Well, in the first place, Zenobia and I...

Mr. Jeffrey Carter.

My son isn't comin' back.

If Your Honor so pleases, I should like

to call the next witness, Mrs. Carter.

- Proceed.

- Mrs. Carter.

Your Honor...

You will please take the

witness stand and be sworn in.

I'd rather say what I

have to say from here.

This is a little irregular, Mrs. Carter.

I'll reimburse Professor McCrackle

for any damages he may have suffered.

I guess I've been very selfish.

Even though it made a

lot of people miserable

I've always taken exactly what I wanted.

I almost ruined my own son's happiness.

This is the first time I've ever

thought about anybody else.

I...I'm sorry.

- Emily, Emily, don't feel like that.

- Thank you, My Dear.

Case...dismissed.

- Oh, I'm so glad to see ya.

- Good evening.

Is...is...is everything all ready?

Oh, yes, we've been ready

for hours, just go in.

Oh, Henry, Henry.

Oh, good evenin', just go in, won't ya.

Zero, have you seen the Doctor?

Not since dinnertime...

'bout early this mornin'

He'll have a time with his jacket.

- Is she all right, Doctor?

- She's getting along fine.

- Oh, wonderful.

- You have nothing to worry about.

Oh, thank you, Doctor, thanks.

I... ... ...

My daughter's waiting!

Emily, be careful! Your hydrophobia!

Heart, you know.

Heart?!?

There's nothin' the matter with my heart.

Of course there isn't, Darlin'.

Well, to work, to work, to work, to work.

To work, to work, to work, to work.

- Do I look all right?

- Oh, you look lovely.

I remembers when I was a bride.

I wish I could forget it, though.

I wonder where Henry is.

Whatsa matter, Doctor,

is the elephant chasing ya?

No! And she won't chase me anymore.

But she sure needed me.

Corey Ford

Corey Ford (April 29, 1902 – July 27, 1969) was an American humorist, author, outdoorsman, and screenwriter. He was friendly with several members of the Algonquin Round Table in New York City and occasionally ate lunch there. Ford was a member of the Class of 1923 at Columbia College of Columbia University, where he edited the humor magazine Jester of Columbia and wrote the Varsity Show Half Moon Inn. He also joined, and was expelled from, the Philolexian Society. Failing to graduate, he embarked on a career as a freelance writer and humorist. In the 1930s he was noted for satirical sketches of books and authors penned under the name "John Riddell". Theodore Dreiser was shown adopting the guise of a common workman building his newest and biggest novel from bricks and mortar. He reviewed Dead Lovers are Good Lovers as "Dead Novelists are Good Novelists." Ford's series of "Impossible Interviews" for Vanity Fair magazine featured ill-assorted celebrities, among them Stalin vs. John D. Rockefeller, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes vs. Al Capone, Sigmund Freud vs. Jean Harlow, Sally Rand vs. Martha Graham, Gertrude Stein vs. Gracie Allen, Adolf Hitler vs. Huey Long. Ford published 30 books and more than 500 magazine articles, many of them marked with a gregarious sense of humor, a love of dogs and "underdogs." He told many stories of the literary scene in the twenties, of headhunters in Dutch Borneo, of U.S. airmen in combat during World War II. He loved conversation and comradeship and was a great listener as well. more…
