The other night, for instance, Riley brought home a young man who works at the aircraft plant with Riley, and dinner was just about over. Gosh, that was a wonderful dinner you cooked, Mrs. Riley. Really wonderful.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Morgan. Mr. Riley, you're sure lucky to have a wife like you've got. Well, she didn't do so bad either, Bill. I was a very gorgeous bachelor. Oh, right. Well, you're both very lucky to be so happily married.
Yeah, we sure are. Say, Bill, didn't you say once that you was engaged to some girl of the opposite sex? Was is right. It's all off between me and Jenny. Oh, what a shame. Well, what went wrong?
Well, you see, Jenny's a wonderful girl. Only she's very stubborn. Oh, stubborn, huh? That's bad. Well, what was Jenny stubborn about? Well, it's about her going on working after we get married. And naturally you want her to.
No, I don't. Well, I'll tell you how I feel about it. Does she have a good job? That's just it. She makes more money than I do. Well, I'll tell you, Bill, the thing is...
