Speaker 1: an idea, individual heroism or courage. By these programs, Shenley
Speaker 1: Laboratories would remind you that medical science and progress is
Speaker 1: not cold in personal research or pages of statistics, but

Speaker 1: record of service rendered by your own position. Now Men
Speaker 1: in White, starring Robert Taylor as Doctor George Ferguson the

Speaker 1: gather to read, to smoke, and to discuss many things,
Speaker 1: primarily medicine. In a niche high in the wall is
Speaker 1: a marble bust of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, looking
Speaker 1: down in kindly Benediction. At the base of the bust
Speaker 1: is engraved a quotation from his Precepts.
Speaker 2: Where the love of man is there also is the
Speaker 2: love of the art of healing.
Speaker 3: Good morning, doctor Hackburg. I was looking for you. Good
Speaker 3: morning church down the record room this morning. The first
Speaker 3: forty five cases seem to bear you out. Forty five cases.
Speaker 3: What are you two up to? Oh?
Speaker 4: Ferguson and I are doing a little research. I have
Speaker 4: some crazy notions about modern surgical technique. Ferguson's writing of
Speaker 4: paper to prove that I'm right.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Dr Hackburg is writing the paper.
Speaker 3: I'm just helping collect the data and arrange.
Speaker 4: You're doing all the hard work. House two seventeen.
Speaker 3: Pretty restless during the night, but her temperatures down to normal.
Speaker 3: Now good and word b bid three? Oh fine, ask
Speaker 3: for a drink of whiskey. He'll be a right, He
Speaker 3: is all right. I gave him the drink, won't you know.
Speaker 3: I'm beginning to think George is your prize pupil. He's
Speaker 3: definitely teacher's pet. He's a good boy. When are you
Speaker 3: going east? George? In three months? Looking forward to him?
Speaker 3: But I am it's it's more than just an opportunity
Speaker 3: to study in New York. It's going to be my
Speaker 3: honeymoon too. We'll find a difficult mixing the two. I
Speaker 3: know the medical center.
Speaker 4: It's getting to be very difficult. You don't know Laura.
Speaker 3: After a year in New York. I'm working with doctor Hackburg,
Speaker 3: so the real labor won't begin till I come back.
Speaker 3: You're probably right about that. I want you to meet Laura.
Speaker 3: You'll be crazy about her. As a matter of fact.
Speaker 3: Maybe I can bring her by here tonight. We're going
Speaker 3: out to a shindig of some sort tonight. Yes, I'm sorry, Ferguson.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid you'll have to stick around tonight. I just
Speaker 3: saw four oh one. He's a mighty sick boy. He
Speaker 3: may need another transfusion tonight. Yeah, we have three donors
Speaker 3: on call. I'm sorry, doctor Gordon, but this is my
Speaker 3: night out and Laura's made arrangements, so I'm afraid I
Speaker 3: won't be here, Ferguson, when the hospital need you, I'd
Speaker 3: like to doctor Hackburg, but same thing happened last week.
Speaker 3: I can't disappoint my fiance again. I won't have any.
Speaker 4: Can anyone else do the transfusion, Doctor Gardon.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid not.
Speaker 2: Ferguson's followed the case from the start. He knows the
Speaker 2: things we've used.
Speaker 3: George.
Speaker 2: I know I'm imposing, but I want this boy to
Speaker 2: have every possible chance.
Speaker 3: He's a sick boy. What do you say? All right,
Speaker 3: doctor Gordon, I'll stay, of course. Thanks.
Speaker 2: If your girl kicks up a fuss center around to me,
Speaker 2: I'll tell her about my wife up at four point
Speaker 2: thirty this morning to answer the phone. Somebody had a belly.
Speaker 3: Gordon. I'll see your lady.
Speaker 4: It's tough, George, but I am sure she'll understand.
Speaker 3: I don't know whether she will or not. She's been
Speaker 3: asked to understand so much lately, Doctor Ferguson.
Speaker 4: You wanted an emergency immediately.
Speaker 3: A woman just came in serious automobile accident. Get her
Speaker 3: up to the operating room. Yes, will you watch, doctor Hockburton.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 4: She'll be all right.
Speaker 3: George.
Speaker 4: You did a nice job.
Speaker 3: Thanks. I was glad you were there. I feel much
Speaker 3: safer with you and my elbow. You didn't need me at.
Speaker 4: All, doctor Ferguson.
Speaker 5: Miss Hudson's waiting in the reception room for you.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. Tell her I'll be right in. I
Speaker 3: hope I do as well with Laura, Doctor Hackburg.
Speaker 4: Don't worry you will. Laura loves you, and a woman
Speaker 4: in love should have an infinite capacity for understanding.
Speaker 3: Sometimes a woman in love has an infinite capacity for
Speaker 3: a misunderstanding. Hello, Darling, Hello monkey.
Speaker 5: You know it suddenly occurred to me that I haven't
Speaker 5: been kissed for three weeks now, and then I couldn't
Speaker 5: wait another minute, not even until the night.
Speaker 3: We'll take care of that right away, Thank you, lord,
Speaker 3: thank you. Hey, where'd you get that hat?
Speaker 5: Don't you like it?
Speaker 3: Oh? Sure, sure, it looks just like a vegetable salad.
Speaker 5: You're getting too thin, and your eyes are tired, and
Speaker 5: I didn't.
Speaker 3: Get much sleep last night. It was a pretty sick house.
Speaker 5: I missed you last night. I went to the party,
Speaker 5: but it wasn't any fun. Didn't mean a thing about you,
Speaker 5: you know, Darling. I don't seem to get a kick
Speaker 5: out of life anymore unless you're around him. It's not
Speaker 5: very often, isn't Darling.
Speaker 3: We'll make up for all of that later on. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I hope we can. George.
Speaker 5: Last night's gone and well, if I had you every
Speaker 5: minute from now, and it wouldn't be enough. I wish
Speaker 5: I'd lived all my life. I wish I'd been born
Speaker 5: in the same room with you and played in the
Speaker 5: same streets.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you didn't. They were gloomy streets. They might
Speaker 3: have touched you, changed you, you know. Or at about
Speaker 3: seven months ago, there was a boy here who had
Speaker 3: been blind from birth. We operated on him successfully. One
Speaker 3: night I showed him the stars for the first time.
Speaker 3: He looked at him alont and began to cry like
Speaker 3: a baby, because because he said they were so lovely,
Speaker 3: he might never have seen them. When I look at you,
Speaker 3: I get something of that same thing, Doctor Ferguson, I
Speaker 3: don't answer. Don't go, Michael. I have to go.
Speaker 5: Well. I had to get to my hair, dressed as
Speaker 5: anyhow and make myself beautiful for tonight, Uh, darling, I, oh, well,
Speaker 5: we'll have a wonderful leaving all of ourselves. We'll skip
Speaker 5: the party and drive up the Hudson. There's a full
Speaker 5: moon tonight, all right.
Speaker 3: I can't make it tonight.
Speaker 5: I have to stay in Oh no, not again.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I tried to duck out of it, but
Speaker 3: I couldn't. There's a transfusion. I have to do, George.
Speaker 5: They are overworking. It isn't fair. Oh, I was planning
Speaker 5: so much on tonight, George. What's our life going to
Speaker 5: be like?
Speaker 3: Pretty grand? I should say, Darling, don't look like that.
Speaker 3: We'll go out tomorrow night. Instand.
Speaker 5: It's not just tonight, it's all the night, George. I
Speaker 5: can take it for another three months, for another year
Speaker 5: and three months, but one would come back from New York.
Speaker 5: Let's arrange our lives like human beings. You can open
Speaker 5: up an office and have regular hours and special life.
Speaker 3: I work with Hagburg, Darling. I won't have the time
Speaker 3: to go into practice.
Speaker 5: But I couldn't go on this quay. I just couldn't.
Speaker 5: I'd rather break off. Now, you try to forget.
Speaker 3: I don't ever say a thing like that.
Speaker 5: Rather die quickly than by slow torture.
Speaker 3: Doctor Ferguson calling.
Speaker 5: They're calling.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know Ferguson speaking, Yes, oh south to eighteen. Yes,
Speaker 3: we'll called doctor Cunningham. It says case let him. When
Speaker 3: what's her temperature? Qulses? She pay you? Perspiring? Did she
Speaker 3: ask for food? No? No more insulin? Absolutely, I'll be
Speaker 3: right down. I have to go now, Laura, and please
Speaker 3: please don't worry about George. Don't as bad as that.
Speaker 3: I praise so sure things will straighten themselves.
Speaker 5: Out, will they? George? George, you just got to come
Speaker 5: on to some decisions, will you please?
Speaker 3: Absolutely all right? Then we'll come to some decision. If
Speaker 3: you don't mind too much, I'll have to go. I
Speaker 3: just like melodrama very much, but this is a matter
Speaker 3: of life and death. Put her in shock position. Nurse yes, sir,
Speaker 3: gluecase quickly and the thirty c C syringel sir, already
Speaker 3: so much good? Half of that'll do. Apply a tourniquet
Speaker 3: right arms, call for hot packs and blankets. Come on,
Speaker 3: hurry it up. Let's have that glue coase swab the army.
Speaker 3: Never mind the eye. It ain't just the alcohol, thank god,
Speaker 3: there's a good vein. Well that's about all we can.
Speaker 5: Do, doctor George.
Speaker 3: Yes, I wanted to why you bet give her some
Speaker 3: more onney.
Speaker 5: Sorry the dizzy? What happened?
Speaker 3: Nothing? You fell asleep. That's all You're going to be,
Speaker 3: all right now? Honey. Oh hello, doctor Cunningham. I didn't
Speaker 3: hear you come in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been watching that was a nice work, Doctor Ferguson.
Speaker 3: Thank you, doctor Cunningham.
Speaker 6: The doctor can always become a better one by observing
Speaker 6: better ones. I've learned something from you, to Dave Ferguson,
Speaker 6: and I'm grateful. Better clean up that mess, nurse, put
Speaker 6: those hypos away? Yes, sir, Yeah, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I was just nervous. I guess this is
Speaker 5: my first case with a sick child. I got to
Speaker 5: like her an awful lot. I guess that will.
Speaker 3: I see, what's your name, Barbara den Hell, you're going
Speaker 3: to be a swell nurse. Barbara.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you, doctor Fergusson.
Speaker 3: And you take my advice. I know just how you feel,
Speaker 3: nerves all tied up and or not you want to yell.
Speaker 3: I feel the same way myself. You get as far
Speaker 3: away from here tonight as you can. I have a
Speaker 3: good time, relaxed. Forget the hospital tomorrow, you'll you'll be
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 7: Oh I can't.
Speaker 5: I have an examined material medica.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow material medica? Eh say, I think I have some
Speaker 3: notes that may help you. I'll leave them with the
Speaker 3: orderly on the first floor and you can get them
Speaker 3: money way down.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 3: Thanks they might help a bit. At least you don't
Speaker 3: have to cram all nighters. That's your car. Yes, I'll
Speaker 3: see you later. Ferguson.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, doctor Gordon, it won't be necessary for you
Speaker 2: to stay in the night after all, three forty one died.
Speaker 3: A few moments ago. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so am I. But we did everything we could. See
Speaker 3: you later, Ferguson, outside wire please well not two nine nine?
Speaker 3: Oh yes, hello, Laura, how are you there? Feeling better? Well, look, Darling,
Speaker 3: I can make it tonight after all. Why don't be silly,
Speaker 3: But Darling, we will work all that out. It's not
Speaker 3: it's so far away yet. Oh listen, Laura, that chance
Speaker 3: to work with Hackburg. It's one of the best breaks
Speaker 3: I've ever had. You don't expect me to throw it
Speaker 3: over at a moment's notice simply because you have some
Speaker 3: crazy idea. No, no, Darling, I don't even want to
Speaker 3: talk about it tonight. I'm I'm tired, Lawrence. It's been
Speaker 3: a heck of the day, three operations, and I can't
Speaker 3: think I can't make an important decision tonight in a minute. Oh, Laura,
Speaker 3: what do you think they're doing punishing me. All right, Laura,
Speaker 3: we'll skip it tonight. Now, I'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 8: Yes, goodbye, come in, excuse me, doctor Ferguson.
Speaker 7: I'm off now. And I've wandered about the notes notes.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, yes, of course, Uh, Barbie, you don't really
Speaker 3: want to work tonight, do you?
Speaker 5: Oh? I don't suppose anyone ever really.
Speaker 3: Wants to work. Maybe you're right. I sometimes wonder myself
Speaker 3: whether all this is worth the grind of working the
Speaker 3: way through college and med school med school too.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, you've kept up with classes.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm man. It was much fun. But still I
Speaker 3: guess it's the only thing I really want to do.
Speaker 3: My dad used to say, Above all is humanity. It
Speaker 3: was a fine man mind, had small town position upstate.
Speaker 3: I was about thirteen. He came to my room one
Speaker 3: night and apologized because he was going to die. His
Speaker 3: heart had gone back on him. He knew that if
Speaker 3: he gave up medicine and took it easy, he could
Speaker 3: live for twenty years. But he wanted to go right on.
Speaker 3: Wanted to die and harness, and he did. Above all
Speaker 3: else is humanity. That's that's a big thought, so big
Speaker 3: that alongside of it you and I don't really matter
Speaker 3: very much. That's why we do it.
Speaker 5: I guess it must make you very proud to hear
Speaker 5: save someone's life the way you did that childs today.
Speaker 7: I don't think there's anything more.
Speaker 3: Important than the world. Neither do I. We can't allow
Speaker 3: outside forces or things or people to interfere with us, can't.
Speaker 3: We can't do it, and if they do, we've got
Speaker 3: to bar them out, even if we have to tear
Speaker 3: our hearts out to do it. Sorry, I didn't mean
Speaker 3: to get up on a soapbox.
Speaker 5: I know exactly how you feel.
Speaker 3: Look how about putting off the work for a couple
Speaker 3: hours and going somewhere for dinner with me. You look
Speaker 3: like an understanding sort of person, and I'm very much
Speaker 3: in need of a little understanding tonight. What do you come?
Speaker 7: Of course, I'd love to come.
Speaker 1: In a moment, we'll return to our heartwarming play Men
Speaker 1: in White, starring Robert Taylor. Now a message of vital importance.
Speaker 1: Few people realize how widely penicillin is used in dental
Speaker 1: surgery today. Penicillin, the wonder drug whose production just a
Speaker 1: few short years ago was so uncertain, so beset with
Speaker 1: production difficulties that only those hovering between life and death
Speaker 1: could have its healing boon. Among the firms which now
Speaker 1: produce penicillin for use by dentists is Shenley Laboratories. Shenley
Speaker 1: is also devoting its resources and facilities to the production
Speaker 1: of specialized penicillin products and to a continuing program of
Speaker 1: research whose purpose is the discovery and development of an
Speaker 1: ever greater range of pharmaceuticals. As one of the world's
Speaker 1: largest users of scientific research in the field of fermentation
Speaker 1: processes from which penicillin and related drugs are derived, Shenley
Speaker 1: Laboratories has developed penicillin tablets and trochies for use in
Speaker 1: dental practice, penicillin ointment for direct application to affected skin surfaces,
Speaker 1: and of thalmic ointment for treating certain infections.
Speaker 3: Of the eye.
Speaker 1: The tangible expressions of Shenley Laboratory's research, Shenley Pharmaceuticals of
Speaker 1: highest quality are constantly at fewer doctors and dentist's disposal
Speaker 1: in their work at Keeping You Well Now, the second
Speaker 1: act of Men in White, starring Robert Taylor as doctor
Speaker 1: Ferguson and with Gg Pisson as Laura.
Speaker 3: George Laura, what are you doing? In the park looking
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 5: They told me as the hospital that you were over
Speaker 5: here taking a walk. Oh, I had to find you, George.
Speaker 5: I've been miserables.
Speaker 3: That hasn't exactly been a picnic for me.
Speaker 7: Have you missed me?
Speaker 3: You know? I am.
Speaker 5: I thought I could be happy without you. I thought
Speaker 5: I could just snap my fingers and say father hick
Speaker 5: with it. But there were too many plans, too many dreams,
Speaker 5: too many memories. I never quite managed to snap my
Speaker 5: fingers at all.
Speaker 3: Laura, Darling, I've missed you like everything, Vinci darn lone ladies.
Speaker 5: Why didn't you call me?
Speaker 3: Well, Pride, I guess even knows I wanted to call.
Speaker 5: We wasted a lot of time. We'll make up for it.
Speaker 5: Who are together again?
Speaker 3: That's the most important thing in the world, Darling. Oh uh, Barbara, Hello,
Speaker 3: I've been looking all over for you.
Speaker 5: Do you have to break our date for dinner?
Speaker 3: Well? No, no, I guess I can make that. But
Speaker 3: there is something I've got to talk to you about.
Speaker 5: I cannot wait until tonight.
Speaker 3: Yes, I guess I can wait until tonight.
Speaker 5: It's very quiet.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know. I'm trying to think of how to
Speaker 3: tell you something.
Speaker 5: George these past few weeks we've been going out in
Speaker 5: the most wonderful weeks.
Speaker 3: Of my life. Well, I was very kind and good
Speaker 3: of you to go out of me, to put up
Speaker 3: in my mood.
Speaker 5: I don't talk like that.
Speaker 7: I've been happy with you as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 5: You then everything a girl could ever dream about. I
Speaker 5: think I fell in love with you the first time
Speaker 5: you smiled with me after that operation, because I can't
Speaker 5: remember anything that happened to.
Speaker 7: Me before that moment.
Speaker 3: Barbara, don't please I Well, Barbara, I don't. I don't
Speaker 3: know how to say this. You see, I I'm engaged. Engaged, Yes,
Speaker 3: I have been for over a year. And that night
Speaker 3: that you, that we went out, i'd had a quarrel
Speaker 3: with my fiance. Oh, I'm darling. I wouldn't have had
Speaker 3: this happen for anything.
Speaker 5: Don't say anything else. I had a lovely time. Thanks
Speaker 5: for the buggy ride. You don't mind if I say
Speaker 5: good night to you too?
Speaker 3: Yes, I do mind. I want to talk to you.
Speaker 5: There's nothing more to say. Funny, how I thought it
Speaker 5: was the beginning of everything when I met you, really
Speaker 5: the end. Good Night you, George, goodbye, George. You're going
Speaker 5: to accept the appointment to practice with doctor Coleman, aren't you?
Speaker 3: George? M m oh, what did you say? Laura? What
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 5: Boy?
Speaker 4: What's wrong? You've been pacing up and down like a
Speaker 4: caged animal.
Speaker 5: I've been here for an hour and you barely grands
Speaker 5: dad me. You're not a very satisfactory then said.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Laura. I've got a lot of things on
Speaker 3: my mind. He can't accept that appointment, daughter. He isn't
Speaker 3: ready for us.
Speaker 5: He will be after a year in New York.
Speaker 3: You love George, don't you, Laura? You know I do.
Speaker 4: Then don't influence him wrongly. George has been offered disappointment
Speaker 4: through your father's influence. You don't buy things in medicine, Laura,
Speaker 4: you earn them. A doctor's character is as important as
Speaker 4: his skill. The next five years, of the crucial years
Speaker 4: in George's life, they are going to tell whether he
Speaker 4: becomes an important man or nottimist.
Speaker 3: Not as if I were going to drop my studies
Speaker 3: by going in to practice doctor Hackburg. I'll keep on.
Speaker 5: After all, George's works so terribly hard until now hockey,
Speaker 5: and well, this will make things easier for him.
Speaker 3: There are no easy roads in medicine. I didn't expect
Speaker 3: it to be easy. I counted on work, hard work.
Speaker 3: It will be at least ten years before you are
Speaker 3: ready for an appointment like that.
Speaker 5: If he takes it, he'll have regular hours. We'll have
Speaker 5: some time for ourselves.
Speaker 4: Hockey time. How there are only twenty four hours in
Speaker 4: a day. He's working with me, and if or are you, George,
Speaker 4: doctor Hackburg. I haven't loathed yet. I don't tend to
Speaker 4: start now. But Laura and I are young. We love
Speaker 4: each other. I want a little more of life than
Speaker 4: just my work. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Speaker 4: I see, I see, sir, you've decided not to come
Speaker 4: with me next year.
Speaker 3: Is that it? Well, sir, that's all right.
Speaker 4: You're never right to decide for yourself.
Speaker 3: You come right away. Doctor Hackberdin's an emergency one of
Speaker 3: the staffs. She took an overdose. Who is it? Got
Speaker 3: a nice little girl up in pediatrics, Barbara Dennon. I'll
Speaker 3: go right up.
Speaker 2: She's unconscious now, but she she was calling for you.
Speaker 3: Doctor Ferguson. I'll go with you. If I made doctor
Speaker 3: Hockburg come along.
Speaker 4: There's nothing more we can do.
Speaker 3: George.
Speaker 4: Except wait, Gordon will call us if there's any change.
Speaker 4: Let's sit down in here a moment. My poor kid.
Speaker 3: I never dreamt that she'd I had to be honest,
Speaker 3: whether I had to tell her it always had been
Speaker 3: a Laura always would be.
Speaker 4: You can't blame yourself. People fall in love with a
Speaker 4: rhyme or reason quite often. It isn't your fault, doctor Hockburg.
Speaker 4: I'm going to marry Barbara demon she'll have me. George,
Speaker 4: stop talking like an idiot. Pull yourself together. What about Laura.
Speaker 3: I've been calling her all morning. She must have guessed
Speaker 3: about Barbera. She wouldn't even come to the phone.
Speaker 4: Well, George, in a way, that's not the worst that
Speaker 4: could have happened to you.
Speaker 3: I don't say that it is. Well.
Speaker 4: Now there's work, my boy. Remember that's the master word work.
Speaker 4: I'm going to marry that girl, going to take care
Speaker 4: of her. Mid Victorian idealism won't solve this problem, George.
Speaker 3: She's a human, isn't she, And she needs me. I'm
Speaker 3: going in to practice immediately.
Speaker 8: You give up your trip to New York s George, George,
Speaker 8: use your head. You you ruin the rest of your
Speaker 8: life destroy your ambition, your ideals, fill yourself with bitterness,
Speaker 8: and you'd live day and night with a woman who
Speaker 8: would grow to despise you. Doctor Hockburg speaking, Yes he's here.
Speaker 8: Who oh, all right, right? Bring her up here to one,
Speaker 8: No sake, Laura's on her way up. I'll be in
Speaker 8: Miss Dinnon's room if you want me.
Speaker 3: All right, And doctor Hackberg, I want you to know,
Speaker 3: whatever I do that that I appreciate all you've done
Speaker 3: for me. I know I must have sounded very ungrateful
Speaker 3: when Laura and I were talking to you.
Speaker 4: They know it's our instinct to live, to enjoy yourselves,
Speaker 4: all of us.
Speaker 3: I love Laura so much. She's so so full of
Speaker 3: life and fun and all the things I've missed for
Speaker 3: so many years. I just didn't have the guts to
Speaker 3: give them up. I kidded myself out of the most
Speaker 3: important thing that ever happened to me, a chance to
Speaker 3: work with you.
Speaker 4: Do you still want to you can?
Speaker 3: If you do? No, not now, I'm going into practice.
Speaker 3: If I can't make a go of that, I'll find
Speaker 3: a job at something else. I won't starve. I'll always
Speaker 3: make a living.
Speaker 4: Come in, Hello Laura, Hello doctor you know where to
Speaker 4: get me if you want me. George, Yes, George, do
Speaker 4: you love that girl?
Speaker 3: I love you, Laura.
Speaker 5: How can you expect me to believe that you've been
Speaker 5: seeing her? Haven't you been spending evenings with her that
Speaker 5: you could have spent with me?
Speaker 3: Laura, I went out with her that night. He refused
Speaker 3: to go out to me. You remember, there were several
Speaker 3: days there that you wouldn't even talk to me. So
Speaker 3: I took her out a few times. She's a nice kid.
Speaker 3: She was someone to talk to, Laura. If I hadn't
Speaker 3: loved you, I wouldn't have asked you to come to
Speaker 3: New York with me alone. There I'd accomplish a lot more. Well,
Speaker 3: you can go alone now. No, I'm not going at all.
Speaker 3: Now I'm going into practice, and I'm going to marry Barbara.
Speaker 5: Marry her when you're not in love with Yes. I
Speaker 5: suppose you think you're being brave and strong and making
Speaker 5: a wonderful gesture, but not, you're a coward. You're doing
Speaker 5: it because it's the easiest way out, because you're afraid
Speaker 5: of what people might say about you.
Speaker 3: Oh, you, I have no backbone. You're right, Laura, I
Speaker 3: had no backbone when I let myself be talked out
Speaker 3: of a chance to work with hockey. Maybe to do
Speaker 3: something fine someday, but right now I have no choice.
Speaker 3: And I'm not doing it because I give a hang
Speaker 3: what anybody he says or thinks. I'm doing it because
Speaker 3: that girl's life is smashed and I'm responsible, and I
