037- Richard Grayson Sees His Father

Jerry of the Circus. For Jerry of the Circus. Oh, just a minute now. We're not on yet.

Oh, hello there, Mr. Randall. Oh, Johnny, how are you feeling tonight? Fitted a fiddle, Mr. Randall. No, well, effects from this afternoon's experience. Meeting your son, I mean? No. The more I've thought about it, the more I realize how lucky I was to talk with my own flesh and blood and find what a really fine young man he is.

I find what a really fine young man he is. And certainly is unusual for a father to speak to his son as a stranger and to find out how to conduct himself. My only regret is that I can't meet the girl he's going to marry.

I wish I could persuade you to go to your son and tell him what you're doing. Never. Why it would break his heart. He knows how I feel about the theatre and the great works of the immortal Shakespeare.

I know. Well, we don't have to work out our own problems. That's why I feel so grateful to you for allowing me to cut my Shakespearean act yesterday afternoon when he attended the performance. You sure he would have recognized?

I'm certain of it. He could not have failed to have recognized my boy's noseline that he had heard me speak since he was a child. Well, it looks like it's about time for you to go on, Johnny.

Yes, yes, in just a moment. One word. Please note well, Mr. Randall. I'll dig beyond the fear at the party tonight so you can tell me about her tomorrow. You can count on me to give you a detailed account of your son's party's magic.
