• Betty Bartholomew : [barging into his office, holding a newspaper]  Listen to me, Peter Lawrence. Did you write this?

  Peter Lawrence : If it's in my column, I guess I did.

  Betty Bartholomew : Well, you oughta be assumed of yourself, saying I don't support my mother and that she had to go the poorhouse.

  Peter Lawrence : Well, she did, didn't she?

  Betty Bartholomew : Well, yes. But she likes it there.

  Peter Lawrence : Look, I'm, awful busy now. But I'll put an item in tomorrow's column that'll be practically a retraction. Be a swell plug for you, too.

  Betty Bartholomew : [dubious]  Yeah, let's hear it.

  Peter Lawrence : OK.

  Peter Lawrence : [addressing his assistant]  Mary, get this: Miss Betty Bartholomew of the nightclub Bartholomews, gave up one whole morning last week taking her mother to the poorhouse in her new 12 cylinder car.

  Betty Bartholomew : [just before exiting]  Ah, that's sweet, Pete. Thanks a lot. Drop up and have a drink sometime, will ya?
