Family Theater: The Penalty

Family Theater presents Pat O'Brien and Bobby Driscoll. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater presents the penalty starring Bobby Driscoll. And now here is your host, Pat O'Brien. Thank you, Tony Lefrano.

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 Penalty, starring Bobby Driscoll as Fred. Yeah? It's exciting, isn't it? The scholarship. You and me competing against each other. Yeah.

Fred? Listen, Sue. This is a steady haul, and I'm trying to study. Oh. Are you worried about the exam? Of course not. I am. That's the first pitfall, not being sure of yourself. I'm always worried before every exam, and this one will...

Weren't you a bit weak in geometry? I don't see why that should make any difference. It was probably a big section on geometry. I'm gonna do my best. Might not be good enough. And I suppose you know everything about everything.

I try to. You know, if you didn't have the highest average in class, I think you were a snob. I'm just a crazy mixed up kid. Do you know that? What would you do if you didn't win?

I'm going to win. How can you be sure? Maybe I will. Did you ever think of that? I suppose you never had a selfish motive in your life. Of course I have. But... What if you didn't win?

There isn't the slightest bit of doubt in my mind. What do you think of that? I wish I could say the same. It's all a matter of confidence. You make up your mind to win and then you do it.
