Thank you George Croll. 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. And now to our transcribed drama, The Last Straw, starring

James Cagney as Aaron and Jean Cagney as Martha. For that, way, son. You don't have to push, I can walk. All right, walk yourself into Sergeant Aaron's office, son. Hello, Quinn. What's this? I found him asleep in a parked car. Oh? Well, since when is sleeping in a car such a terrible crime.

At three in the morning and somebody else's car is close enough. Sergeant from the way he's dressed, he ought to have a better place to sleep. What's your name, kid? Don't call me kid. Ooh, a very tough citizen, Quinn.

Eh, he hasn't been what you'd call too cooperative, Sergeant. What's your name? I don't have to tell you anything. I haven't committed any crime. Quinn, maybe we'd better just throw him in the drunk tank and forget about the whole thing.

I was thinking a solitary confinement myself, Sergeant. It seems kind of anti-social to me. Look, maybe I'm not very old. Maybe I was born yesterday, but not this morning. She can stop trying to scare me.

So I took a nap in the car. Unless the guy owns the car and wants to make a big thing of it, you've got no right to hold me. Well, thanks, Dad. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like you to teach my grandmother how to suck eggs.
