• Judge Thaddeus Parks : Young man, who are you?

  Jay Holmes : What? Who am I? Don't you ever go to the movies?

  Judge Thaddeus Parks : Frequently.

  Jay Holmes : Well? I'm Jay Holmes. I've co-starred in every picture that Carol Corliss has ever made.

  Judge Thaddeus Parks : Oh, yes. Sorry. Well, you see, when I see a Carol Corliss picture, I never see anybody but her. She's very charming.

  Jay Holmes : Charming enough. But, not a very good actress.

  Judge Thaddeus Parks : Oh, not a very good actress?

  Jay Holmes : No. Just a pretty little thing, that's all.
