This Is the Night1932

Claire Mathewson:
[they are seated in the back of their car; Claire has had her dress torn by the car door] Gerald, aren't you going to do anything?

Gerald Gray:
Here?

Claire Mathewson:
No, no. I mean about discharging your chauffeur

Gerald Gray:
Oh, oh let me keep him. I've let you keep your husband

Claire Mathewson:
I haven't kept him

Gerald Gray:
What?

Claire Mathewson:
He left this morning

Gerald Gray:
For good?

Claire Mathewson:
No, no, for the Olympic Games at Los Angeles. He's in them, you know. Haven't you ever heard of Steve Mathewson, the javelin thrower?

Gerald Gray:
Javelin thrower?

Claire Mathewson:
ah ha

Gerald Gray:
Do you mean those long, murderous harpoon things? [she nods] Claire, the moment you meet a man, right after you've said 'how do you do?' you should add 'my husband throws javelins'.
