Thank you, Toto Lefano. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives if we are to win peace for ourselves, Peace for our families and peace for the world.

Family theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. Now to our transcribed drama, the act Mr. Willis starring Alan Young as Henry. Oh, just plain no. Does that answer your question?

Why not, Mildred? Can you tell me that? Look at it this way. Why should I? Why? When a man proposes to a woman, He's known off and on for eight years, taken out numberless times.

A few dates. I sure don't see why he should explain why the reason? Well, a matter of sentiment. It should be fairly obvious now. Slow down. Slow down. Look at it this way. You're pushing 40.

Well, yes. I'm 29. You've been working right here in the sales department for how long? How long? Eight years, three months and about a week more or less. And I've been your secretary for how long?

The same length of time, I suppose? You're not exactly sweeping me off my feet, you know. And a girl likes to be swept off her feet. It's a thrill of romance. A girl wants to feel wanted, needed love, feel that her man thinks she's the most exciting, most attractive, most beautiful girl in the world.

And you... Eh, nothing. Is that the real reason? No, Stuffy. I mean Henry. I'm going to level with you. I haven't felt that way since I was 16 years old. Look, in the eight years in, uh, how much?
