The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer

Miss Susan.

Miss Susan.

Miss Susan?

-Just five more minutes, Bessie.

-No, ma'am. Now!

But, Bessie, I feel absolutely sklonklish.

You sklonklish yourself

down to breakfast.

I'm getting the judge

up right now.

I'm up.

Sklonklish. When I went to school

they taught us to speak English.

Judge Turner?

Judge Turner.

Judge Turner.

-Five more minutes.

-Breakfast is ready, Your Honor.

-What time is it?

-It's a few minutes past 8.

-Is my sister up?

-Yes, Miss Margaret.

She was feeling a little sklonklish today,

but I got her up.

Next time she tells you she feels sklonklish,

you tell her not to be a clunk.

Thanks, Your Honor. I dig you.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

Good morning, dear.

Hello?

Hi, Jerry.

No, we have to listen to a speech

this afternoon. Good deal, Neil.

Susan, your breakfast

is on the table.

Hang on a second.

Sorry I'm late, sis.

-Did you sleep well?

-Oh, sklonklish.

Don't be a clunk, Miss Susan.

-You've been coaching her.

-Someone has to protect her.

You know the case you were trying?

The man who ran away

with a 16-year-old girl?

-What did you give him?

-Three years.

That'll cost me $3.

I always bet you won't sentence people.

That's ridiculous.

How have you been doing?

You've cost me a fortune.

If you're interested in a more exact

science, spend time on geometry.

I don't consider geometry

a part of life.

Mr. Roberts does.

You're his first student to define a triangle

as two women crazy about one man.

-Mr. Roberts is definitely decadent.

-Is he?

-Margaret.

-How much?

Only $3. Just as an advance

on my allowance.

You're already working on 1949.

But no more betting.

Thank you very much.

I wonder why you're so good to me.

You know I'd die for you,

only sometimes it's hard living with you.

The call of the wild.

I've got to go.

-You haven't eaten breakfast.

-Thanks. Bye.

I can't talk now.

-Bessie.

-Yes, ma'am?

Have you been following the case

about the man who ran away with the girl?

Yes, ma'am, I have.

As a matter of curiosity, do you think

my sentence was too severe?

No, I would have given him 10 years.

-Would you?

-I certainly would.

Thank you, Bessie.

I was just curious.

That must be the judges.

Yes, I mustn't keep them waiting.

Oh, thank you.

Your Honor.

-Goodbye, Bessie.

-Goodbye, Miss Margaret.

Exit woman, enter judge.

More's the pity.

Uncle Matt, I take exception

to your innuendo.

I'm no problem to you.

You should concern yourself with Susan.

Nothing wrong that the firm hand

of a man in the house wouldn't cure.

If you'd listen to me,

you wouldn't have this problem.

And I've been telling you

I will not put up...

...with your constant attempts

to get me married.

Come in.

Good morning, good morning.

-Good morning, Margaret and Herr Doctor.

-Good morning, Chamberlain.

Margaret, I found a copy of the rare old

English writ of exigi facias.

Thank you, Tommy.

If that's the night-blooming exigi facias,

you can put it in a vase and water it.

You seem a little truculent this morning.

Physician, heal thyself.

See you later, Margaret.

I'm not as much interested

in the woman getting married...

...as I am in making sure

that she marries the right man.

I don't think he likes me. It's a sixth sense

one acquires in the district attorney's office.

Uncle Matt has a personal life

beyond his job as court psychiatrist...

...and occasionally

they become confused.

Yes, I guess so.

Speaking of combining work and pleasure...

...I understand you're reviewing

the Richard Nugent case. I have an interest--

You know I don't like that.
