Janet Porter McClenahan
- Janet Porter McClenahan: I'd ask you in, but, I'm not dolled up for company.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Oh, I'm not company. I'm just a poor guy looking for peace and quiet.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Well, come on in. But, just for a minute. It's almost 12 o'clock and this is a highly respectable neighborhood.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: [Jokingly] Oh, I've heard differently.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Come on over here.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: No.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Why not?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Oh, lots of reasons.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Who don't you trust?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Myself, maybe.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: You can't forget the time you came down to Annapolis to see me graduate, can you?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: We were a couple of fools, Scotty. We almost spoiled a very wonderful friendship.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Well, I'll tell you the truth. I did give Chapin a couple of pages of, well, intimate details about your likes and dislikes.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Well, what the - Why did you do a stupid thing like that?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Because, he asked me to. He says that an article about you in his magazine would help your career.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Does it help a man's career to have his wife make an ass of him?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: The trouble with our marriage has been, too much love and not enough real friendship.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Ah, bunk!
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Scotty, will you try something for awhile?
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Sure. What?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Try being pals again. Like we were before we got married. I'll live with my folks and you live with Mom. We'll just see each other whenever we like; only, no lovemaking.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: You serious?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Never more so, in my life. I've got to have time to find out if we really care for each other, or, if it's, well, animal attraction. Will you be a good sport and humor me?
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: I don't see any sense to it. But, I'm so goofy about you, I'll stand on my head if it will make you happy.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Is it a bargain?
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Sure. What a sap a guy is, to fall in love.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Ha-ha-ha, oh.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: No winding Dr. Cluck's tock? Not even a little bit?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: No, darling. Not for awhile.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Ha-ha-ha. Are we idiots?
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Certainly, that's what honeymoon's are for!
- Janet Porter McClenahan: I'll bet even Dr. Tuck's clock thinks we are simple. Isn't that cute?
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Yes, just like Dr. Tuck too. Sort of quaint and kind and New Englandish.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Exactly the kind of wedding present a sweet old soul like him would give. Our first piece of furniture. We'll have to furnish the rest of our apartment around it.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: The nucleus of our home, Dr. Cluck's tock.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Ha-ha-ha. Dr. Cluck's tock. Oh, do you deny now that you're daffy?
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: I never denied it. But, you do like me a little bit, don't you?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: Oh, about a nickel's worth.
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Is that all?
- Janet Porter McClenahan: [after they kiss, gets up to leave, starts to take off her robe, looks back] Oh Scotty?
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Yes, darling.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: [Seductively] Don't forget to wind Dr. Cluck's tock.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: [Calling on the phone] Scotty! This is Janet!
- Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan: Yes, darling! I-I mean, Janet.
- Janet Porter McClenahan: It's such a lovely night. I thought we, we, could, we might like going home to New York. I think tomorrow'd be a grand day to, to, wind, Dr. Cluck's tock.
