nothing better than to sit )y while my maw and :)aw and their friends say hings. That exhilarates Tie quite a lot more than Hollywood gin, even if it were gin. P. A. (to William y): Do you hat?
Janney: I happen to know it's true. Meeting, listening and talking to interesting people is Russ Gleason's major sin.
P. A. {disgustedly) : Witness dismissed. And now may I ask Mr. Arthur Lake to ooze forward? (Mr. Lake does so, with variations. He looks a little tired, and the Prosecuting Attorney, noticing it, attacks him with:) Tell me, Mr. Lake. What did you do last night?
Arthur Lake: VVell— Mom's got an ulcerated tooth and —
P. A.: Very interesting, Mr. Lake. Fery interesting and a Jittle touching, but what has that to do with you?

P. A. Then would place age above past younger generations?
Arthur Lake: I would, I do, I have. If the present crop of young ones weren't a lot busier, wiser and brainier than those before them, they'd just naturally go under, they couldn't stand the racket. And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get back to my work — P. A.: Which is?
Arthur Lake: Studying my present part, rehearsing my next picture, taking instruction in voice, dancing and foreign languages, looking out a little for things at home and —
His Elders Were Joy-Killers
PA.: Enough.' Witness excused! But before this court , adjourns, I'd like to ask Mr. Janney to call Mr. William Bakewell to the stand. Janney: How about it. Bill?
William Bakewell: I'm almost there. Mr. Prosecuting Attorney, you may fire when ready.
