The Courtship of Eddie's Father1963

Elizabeth Marten:
[Elizabeth opens and closes the door. And walks up to Tom] Tom, I think he's going to be alright now.

Tom Corbett:
A fish is a fish!

Elizabeth Marten:
Tom.

Tom Corbett:
A fish is a fish! And his mother's his mother!

Elizabeth Marten:
That isn't the point.

Tom Corbett:
He doesn't even care about those damn fish! I have to tell him to feed half of the time it just takes him about two seconds to give him a little!

Elizabeth Marten:
He needed to cry!

Tom Corbett:
Well then cry according to the size of it!

Elizabeth Marten:
It doesn't work that way!

Tom Corbett:
Well I don't agree. Look if you're sad you cry. You don't save up your tears and go to a sad movie do you?

Elizabeth Marten:
But we do! We all do! Were do you think we get the tears we cry at a movie?

Tom Corbett:
Tears for a mother cannot be the same as tears for a fish!

Elizabeth Marten:
Oh Tom can't we talk about this calmly? I want to help so much.

Tom Corbett:
Thank you very much! And thank you for kind plus and your fudge but we're doing just fine.

Elizabeth Marten:
I'm very sorry for all of you! Please forgive me! [Elizabeth runs away from Tom, opens the door, goes back to her room and slams her door shut]
