the publicity-loving explorer,
that she rushed backstage last night
and slapped his face. "
"The sketch, which is very funny,
is the hit of the show,
and if the Caraways aren't laughing,
everyone else in town is. "
There you are. All New
York is laughing at us.
Yes. And 13 of my friends called me up
this morning, so I'd be sure not to miss it.
You're a lawyer. Do something.
Well, are we going to sue the theatre?
- I don't believe we have...
- We're going to sue.
- We're going to sue everybody.
- Mr Sims.
Good morning. Good morning, everyone.
And how is everyone this morning?
- If you're going to be cheerful, I can't bear it.
- The whole town is laughing at us.
- I've thought over that trifling little affair.
- I've decided to rise above it.
- You're going to rise above it?
A man of my reputation should not
be disturbed by such nonsense.
- Is the polar bear disturbed by the house fly?
- We can't all be polar bears.
That's what I want to talk to you about.
Mrs Peters.
Ta-da!
What in heaven's name are you doing
in that fantastic costume?
- I've gone Russian.
- You've gone crazy.
A while ago you made a spectacle of yourself
with jujitsu and tap dancing, now it's Russian.
I have to keep myself occupied. Some women
get married again. Others get rheumatism.
I'm studying Russian ballet. Keeps my mind
off my relatives. Not you, Mimi.
- Oh, thank you, Aunt Fritz.
- Well, I got your SOS.
What are you having hysterics about now?
- Have you seen this?
- Oh, is that all?
All? Do you realise
that our family honour has been outraged?
Family honour? Popcorn and peanuts.
Your grandfather was a horse thief.
Oh, Dad, that's where
I get my love of horses.
Well, my dear sister,
if you are not concerned about this, I am.
People in the public eye
must expect to be caricatured.
That is the price of fame.
I want you to bring a suit against that show.
I've thought the matter over. I can find
no ground on which to base a suit.
Oh, ridiculous. Why, that fellow in the
sketch had a chinpiece exactly like mine.
Take the case of Finnegan
versus Society Scandals maga...
I don't want to hear
about Finnegans or magazines!
Father, Father, your nerves.
The trouble with you
is you don't get enough exercise.
How can I cope with this situation with
you leaping around like a blasted gazelle?
If you had a sense of humour,
you'd laugh at that sketch and forget it.
Now, what was that fourth position? Oh, yes.
and I refuse to forget it. I'm going to sue!
- My dear Commodore, you...
- I'm not your dear commodore!
- I'm not anybody's dear commodore!
- Commodore, this has just arrived.
