Transcript

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in... SUSPENSE! Act 1 of Beat Night, starring Rosemary Rice's Cathy, Richard Holland is Jerry and Sam Gray is the father, and written especially for suspense by William N. Robeson.

Mmm! Father can't be too careful that we're his daughter's concern. That's what fathers are for. For daddy! No much the body button. I wanted me this young man. I assure you, he's a perfectly respectable, charming, intelligent young man.

Well, then you should be proud to introduce him to your parents. Mother? Your father's right, Cass. Oh, but it's so... It's a... nitty-evil. Like I was still in dancing school or something. Not a tall button.

Father, will you please stop calling me button? I'm 16. I wear lipstick and high heels and I no longer respond to that thoroughly reprehensible and childish word button. My name is Kathy. I beg your pardon, Kathy.

A father sometimes forgets. Well, don't please. Especially in front of Jerry. If you still insist on meeting him. I do? I don't see why. Let's say to see if he measures up. To what? To my idea of the kind of young man who was worthy of you.

Oh, he will. No one ever has. He was right, of course. No one ever has seen worthy of her. And this jury was no exception. He was lacking and tall. And his scrubbed and freshly shaped face displayed two razor nicks and a lingering acne.

The charm and intelligence with which my daughter endowed him escaped me. Uh, nice. Whether we're having? Yes, sir. What a man says we're due for a change. Oh, we are? Yes. Cathy shouldn't be very long.
