Kiss and Tell1945

Corliss Archer:
[after being called downstairs after Dorothy Pringle accused her of being pregnant] Yes, Daddy, I heard what she said. I wasn't actually listening. I couldn't help hearing.

Harry Archer:
Then tell her that she's a liar. Go ahead. You have my permission to use the word.

Corliss Archer:
[reluctantly] Well, I ...

Dorothy Pringle:
If ever I saw guilt written on a human face, that's it.

Janet Archer:
Sit down, Corliss.

Dorothy Pringle:
If you want to lead up to it gently, ask her if she was at the corner of Jefferson and Fifth yesterday with her soldier friend having a cocktail.

Corliss Archer:
It was a shrimp cocktail. I'll murder that Betty Campbell!

Harry Archer:
What soldier?

Janet Archer:
I know all about that, Harry, it was Private Earhart.

Corliss Archer:
Corporal Earhart.

Janet Archer:
Be quiet, Corliss.

Harry Archer:
What's this about Dr. Fabling in the Professional Building?

Corliss Archer:
I -

Dorothy Pringle:
Now, there's no use trying to deny it. You were seen leaving his office yesterday and the week before by two different people. And yesterday you were seen meeting this soldier.

Janet Archer:
Corliss. Corliss, look at me. Is that true?

Corliss Archer:
Yes, Mother.

Janet Archer:
Oh, darling.

Dorothy Pringle:
I'm sorry, Janet. But perhaps in the future you'll be a little bit more careful when you talk about people leading people astray.
