No, I haven’t got any grouch! Don’t you worry! You’re the only grouch I ever had, thank the Lord!
GEORGE
Well then. It isn’t every woman gets rid of an incompatible husband and gets hold of a compatible one, all in same season.
FRED
Look here!
MARIAN
That’s just like him! Coming over here with a grin on like a kid with a new toy. Well, we don’t want anything to do with you. See?
GEORGE
Sure. Excuse me for butting in. I just wanted to make a little announcement.
MARIAN
Oh, you did! Well, I’m surprised! I didn’t think she was the kind you had to marry.
GEORGE
Huh! I knew you’d have your little knife out for her. But why you should have to be jealous now I can’t see.
MARIAN
I’m not jealous!
GEORGE
What you worrying about, then?
MARIAN
I’m not worrying! I’m only sore because you butted in when we were so happy together here without you.
GEORGE
Oh, excuse me! As a matter of fact, I didn’t come over to make any announcement. It’s too late for that. I—
MARIAN
Married already! Anybody’d think you might wait a little while for common decency!
GEORGE
I waited a day longer than you did, anyhow.
MARIAN
That’s different.
FRED
I beg your pardon! We were just ordering dinner. If you didn’t come to make any announcement, why—
MARIAN
Yes, what did you butt in for?
GEORGE
Why, I got a letter from your friend Grace, and—
MARIAN
Grace? What did she have to say to you?
GEORGE
She said she was sorry I had to get a divorce, but I told her—
MARIAN
Sorry you had to get a divorce! Well, if I don’t fix her!
