A Kiss for Corliss1949

Harry P. Archer:
[Holding a paper announcing his daughter's engagement to Kenneth Marquis] Did you see this?

Kenneth Marquis:
I gave out the story.

Harry P. Archer:
Did you - ?

Kenneth Marquis:
Dad, do I take it that you're not altogether pleased?

Harry P. Archer:
Why you -

Taylor:
Congratulations, Archer.

Harry P. Archer:
Shut up! I'm going to sue your client -

Kenneth Marquis:
Oh, Dad, I hope Corliss hasn't inherited your bad temper.

Harry P. Archer:
What do you mean by this? Answer me! Answer me.

Kenneth Marquis:
Do you think I was just trifling with a good woman's love?

Harry P. Archer:
I wouldn't let Corliss marry you if - if - if - Call up and issue a denial!

Taylor:
Oh no! All denials will be issued by you. We don't want any breach of promise suits.

Harry P. Archer:
I'll have a retraction in the paper by - by - by six o'clock, and maybe earlier if I can get them to print a special edition.

Kenneth Marquis:
Very well, if your daughter's happiness is so unimportant to you, I will try to bear up manfully.
