The Life of Riley1949

Chester A. Riley:
Gee, Gillis, you're brave - making out you're happy when all the time, inside, you've got a broken heart.

Jim Gillis:
Are you kiddin'? I never felt better.

Waldo:
But your wife - she left you.

Jim Gillis:
She'll be back in a couple or three days. I planned the whole thing.

Chester A. Riley:
You what?

Jim Gillis:
I got her sore on purpose.

Waldo:
You did?

Jim Gillis:
Sure! I figure once a year, every married man should get away from his wife for a few days.

Chester A. Riley:
Yeah, but, ah...

Jim Gillis:
So by her leavin', I'm getting away without goin' out of the house.

Chester A. Riley:
Yeah, but that ain't right.

Jim Gillis:
Of course it's right. Even a criminal gets time off for good behavior.
