• Jimmie Martin : Just exactly how does a man propose to his own wife?

• Mary Smith : Why were you in that courtroom?

  Mary Smith : Why did you marry me?

  Jimmy Martin : To get you out of a jam. You can get a divorce right away, you know.

• Jimmy Martin : Say, you got a whole kitchen, stove and everything here. Let's have dinner.

  Jimmy Martin : Oh, sure. I understand. I'll go to the store and get something. What would you like? T-bone steak, salami, and dill pickles?

  Mary Smith : And potato chips?

  Jimmy Martin : Yes, sure. The kind that don't bend. Oh please, have you got a comb?

  Mary Smith : Oh, sure. Help yourself.

  Jimmy Martin : Oh, you like chocolate eclairs?

  Mary Smith : Yeah. I like the custard ones, not the cream ones.

  Jimmy Martin : Thank you. Say, you don't know what you're talking about. The cream ones are much better. All right, I'll get both kinds. I won't eat the custard ones.
