Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Esther Smith:
Papa, if losing a case depresses you so, why don't you quit practicing law and go into another line of business?
Mr. Alonzo Smith:
That's a good idea. Starting tomorrow, I intend to play first base for the Baltimore Orioles. I'm sorry, Anna, if I was a little bombastic.
Mrs. Anna Smith:
That's all right, dear, you'll feel better once you've had your dinner.
Mr. Alonzo Smith:
I suppose so, but right now I'm going to soak in that cool bathtub for one solid hour.
Esther Smith:
But that's impossible. Dinner's being served in five minutes.
Mr. Alonzo Smith:
It's only five twenty-five, not six twenty-five.
Mrs. Anna Smith:
We've planned on eating an hour early tonight.
Mr. Alonzo Smith:
Well, the plans have just been changed. I'm taking a bath.
Mrs. Anna Smith:
We're eating early for Katie's sake. Family trouble. She wants to go over there as soon as we've finished eating. Her sister's fighting with her husband.
Mr. Alonzo Smith:
I see. And I suppose they'll stop fighting if I don't take a bath?
Mrs. Anna Smith:
Now she's been with us for ten years, and she never asks favors. We don't want to risk losing her.
Esther Smith:
No, nowadays you can't get a maid for less than twelve dollars a month.
Mr. Alonzo Smith:
I don't care if we have to pay a maid fifteen dollars a month! Dinner's at six-thirty, and if Katie wants to hand in her notice, she can reach me in the bathtub!
