Jones:
Miss Aikens, we want a woman's point of view on a certain situation. Now, Mr. Baker has a friend and he's in trouble...
Sally Aikens:
Oh, Mr. Baker!
Jones:
[Shushing Larry]
Now, Mr. Baker has nothing whatever to do with it. Let's call the friend Mr. Brown. Now, Mr. Brown has a wife... Mr. & Mrs. Brown have been married for, uh, how long?
Larry Baker:
Well, say six years. They live in Toledo.
Sally Aikens:
Six years in Toledo. That's bad.
Jones:
All right then, let's say New York. Now Mr. Brown is worried about his marriage. Things are not going along as well as they used to.
Sally Aikens:
What kind of a man IS this Mr. Brown?
Larry Baker:
Very nice...
Sally Aikens:
Is he attractive?
Jones:
Very attractive.
[to Larry]

Jones:
Don't you think so?
Larry Baker:
Yes.
Sally Aikens:
And yet she's complaining.
Larry Baker:
Well, she's drifting away from him.
Jones:
Yes, and he wants to get things back on the old basis.
Sally Aikens:
Who doesn't?
Jones:
Yes.
[clears throat]

Jones:
Now, Miss Aikens, as a woman, I'm asking you, what is the right approach?
Sally Aikens:
Well, I should say a mink coat would do the trick.
Larry Baker:
She has a mink coat.
Sally Aikens:
Then what's she complaining about?
[the men are exasperated, and Jones dismisses Miss Aikens from the conversation]

Larry Baker:
Just a moment. Now look here. Mrs. Brown is interested in another man.
Sally Aikens:
Oh... If there aren't any witnesses she's going to deny it... But I'm afraid I'm not the right person to give you any advice. I probably have too much sympathy for Mr. Brown, and not enough patience with Mrs. Brown. We get cases like that every day. The wife is bored; marriage is just a habit. But on the other hand, she accepts everything her husband gives her. I think she ought to be kicked out. Do I sound old-fashioned?
Jones:
No, we'll let you know, Miss Aikens.
Sally Aikens:
Well anyway, I think Mr. Brown's a pretty swell guy. I've always thought so.
[Miss Aikens leaves the room]

Jones:
...She certainly had a couple of interesting angles.
Larry Baker:
I didn't notice them.
