Zachary Morgan:
[Mrs. Marshall comes in with a flaming plum pudding]
I never could figure out why the pudding never gets burned. Mary Marshall:
I've never been able to figure that out either. Must be the alcohol in the brandy. Zachary Morgan:
I think. Mr. Marshall:
Personally, I think it's a shame to burn good brandy. That quart I brought home last week was imported cognac. Mrs. Marshall:
Oh, don't worry, Henry, I didn't burn up the whole quart. Barbara Marshall:
Oh, I wouldn't trust Mom with it, Dad. Mr. Marshall:
Maybe you're right. Remember last year, how Mom got going on just a glass of sherry? Mrs. Marshall:
Now I'm not going to listen to that again! Barbara Marshall:
You may not believe this about your dear Aunt Sarah, but last year she got high as a kite. Zachary Morgan:
If they're trying to drag out a family skeleton, Mrs. Marshall, I won't listen to them. Mrs. Marshall:
Oh, it's just one of those little things that happen, people start exaggerating. Mr. Marshall:
Exaggerate, my eye! It's as true as I sit here. Last year, Mother and I had a glass of sherry to bring in the new year. And then we went to a little gathering, all the way across town, it was. Mother had her skirt on backwards! Mrs. Marshall:
See here, Henry, if you're in such good voice, how about a Christmas carol?
