We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
BEST BROADCASTS OF 1939-40
Peggy. — But how about the marriages that last? Some do, you know.
Chris. — Economic, practically every one of them. Two people meet, like you and me, say. They see it’s to their mutual advantage to go into a business partnership.
Peggy. — Hm. But in your case, why should you plan only one “partnership,” as you call it? There are lots of girls with money. And there’s always Reno.
Chris. — (Sore) What do you think I am, a chiseler?
Peggy. — (Grinning) You’re asking me?
Chris. — What are you kicking about? I’ve got every qualifica¬ tion you need in a husband. I can play bridge. I can juggle a teacup. I can dance, fence, ride, swim, bowl, ski, play tennis, badminton, and Chinese checkers. I can fly a plane, drive a car, and sail a boat. What more can you ask, for 3 million?
Peggy. — I might ask if you ever work.
Chris. — Work?
Peggy. — Yes. You’ve heard of the word, perhaps. It’s an old custom, especially among self-respecting men.
Chris. — Do you work ?
Peggy. — Of course not !
Chris. — Well, the women in China are hod carriers. And in certain native tribes of Africa, the woman who even lets her husband lift his hand in manual labor has her ears lopped off.
Peggy. — But this isn’t Africa, Mr. Morgan.
Chris. — No. But we can learn.
Peggy. — Then after this wedding tonight, you have no plans except, of course, to live on my money ?
Chris. — Why not? That’s what you’re doing.
Peggy. — I suppose the fact that it’s mine has nothing to do with it.
Chris. — Whaddayamean, yours? Did you ever work for it?
