might have changed are you absolutely sure what is this a cross-examination I said I wanted to make the separation as simple as possible for you simple here I am in the Army teaching quarreling

happily married I have to make a stopover at Detroit to address a group perhaps you'd be interested no I won't be going that far my there seem to be so many misunderstandings these days so many marriages breaking up for no tangible reason well that's life counselor I shouldn't give up so easily a marriage should be given every possible chance to survive yes you're right I'm glad we did it that way but we didn't we made no attempt to save our marriage I think what it would have meant if one of us had gone to the other and said dear they're difficult days ahead if we believe in each other if we have faith we can ride the storm storm sitting across from each other at the office all day and then going home to sit across from each other at the dinner table and ask each other what's new you call that a storm now you're being honest with me and that's what I want to hear sit down now tell me was there anything else wrong well the little fact that you suggested we separate do you

comfortable oh after all husband and wife I just talked to Gloria I promise her that by the time we got to Poughkeepsie I'd have the divorce consent signed and start back to New York you have the divorce papers if you haven't I have carbon copies well I must say you're getting a beautiful woman thanks surprising she's never married before oh she has a husband passed away no uh divorced I wonder why I don't know I never asked it did she ever ask about us yes I won't ask you what you told him well actually I told her you were a swell guy and she and I agreed that what her husband needs isn't a swell guy of course I explained to her that this wasn't true when we were first married thank you as a matter of fact I didn't dare tell her how much of a woman you really were before he became such a bad lawyer then you do remember who could forget I did for quite a while and then when thank you may I come in man but we're busy I mean can't you wait this is Life Death practicing man the gentleman outside told me all about you Mr Lindsay yes ma'am I bought you helping people's marriages that are about to go to pieces and that's exactly what's happening to me man something terrible I'll be right outside no don't go please carpool this is my husband Mr Marley how do you do sir I'm Corporal Michael's man my husband's sitting right out there and I'm sure I can get him to come in Corporal can't this matter possibly wait until later but Poughkeepsie will leave the train separated forever I'll hurry oh dear councilman I seem to be getting more involved in this than here he is man Harold Michael my husband Mr Morley Mr Michael pleasure won't you uh sit down I think it would probably be better if I waited outside no I want both of you to feel perfectly free to tell me about yourselves and about each other in that manner we can get to the bottom of things and correct any misunderstanding well there's no misunderstanding I know what I'm doing I wasn't just born yesterday or the day before but everything was fine before I went overseas it wasn't fine it seemed fine and when I got back yesterday on the boat there he was waiting to tell me that he didn't want me anymore he met the boat to tell me that the way you tell it to make me sound like a heel she doesn't tell you anything about what happened before why don't you tell us Mr Michaels I will I'll bust the case wide open when we first got married we were happy see and then came the war so the draft board calls me in am I complaining no Michael right down I'm ready to get shattered and dig a ditcher fly a plane puncture eardrum for rep so what happens what my wife my own wife decides to make me look like a perfect dope with me in civilian clothes she joins the wax why shouldn't you be awake well what makes you think she joined despite you a husband knows those things see it's intuitive your wife joined the wax for the same reason mine did to help finish a war can you prove it with a wife and love try to destroy her own marriage well right now your wife is doing everything in her power to hold you well sure she's had her fun now she's ready to settle down what do you mean by that while I stayed home and worked my fingers to the Bone where was she overseas with millions of men soldiers everybody knows about service women overseas look Junior one more idiotics hold me back I'll talk to him sit down sit down I'll talk to him please down Mr Michaels now it's quite understandable that a man whose wife is away could let his imagination get a little out of hand I also know that there was plenty of malicious rumor in hearsay about women in uniform but those are things from which a real man defends his wife through no fault of yours you weren't in uniform but fortunately you had a wife who could help you should be proud of her how did you feel about your wife being in uniform like she says proud you mean you weren't you know jealous about her being away from home all those soldiers or maybe uh but little personal feelings were so unimportant with a war on there's something else to consider Mr Michaels if your wife was a good wife before she went into uniform you're due for a very pleasant surprise the Army will return her to you a better wife tenfold what did the Army do to work it's just something that can't be explained you have to experience it to realize what I mean well what do you say would you give that marriage another trial well of course it would be a little silly to bust up before you know besides a man should give his wife a chance to prove that the Army hasn't changed her has changed oh honey I promise you'll never be sorry for this so happy you're wonderful oh no I'm not I'm just being fair oh thank you so much ma'am and bless you both stop shoving dear thank you what a character and she loves him yes that's the way women are thanks so much for your help I hadn't realized how you failed about certain things I should apologize for losing my head it's a good thing we weren't pleading a case yes that thing you said about this fella getting a surprise when he finds out what the Army does for a woman oh what is it do you really want to know would anybody be interested in the farewell look at Poughkeepsie Poughkeepsie I promise Gloria that by Poughkeepsie I counselor you can save me a lot of trouble if you sign those papers right now I think we're going about this matter in a very sensible way you'll get those papers in due time but I promise of the Bible keeps you had I'll be right back you will thank me someday that is a moment I hope I don't live to see the career of martyr is a thankless one Mr Lindsay just what is it you expect from me you young man you are trying to interfere with Destiny out out hello Gloria listen honey let me say first that if you have nothing to worry about well I'm in Poughkeepsie [Music] [Music] I know honey but things keep happening oh no no of course not by things happening I mean I mean interference from other people well now please Gloria please when you can't just do that just walk out of my life right in the middle of everything go on Beat it oh no not you honey now please Gloria please don't make any snap decisions I'll be back just as soon as go hello Gloria oh what do you want the train it's gone why didn't you say something I tried to in my half-hearted way Gloria doesn't think I'm trying said goodbye and then hung up on me what'd you expect it to say hello let's have some coffee while we're playing your next move next move do you realize that the way things stand now I can't win you win or I'll die trying foreign come in oh Pardon Me Miss uh put that General Defender kept getting on and off what about him oh was poughkeeps as far as he was going where is he I'm Gypsy oh no oh yes perfect Mary stopped over in Detroit gives us plenty of time to get back to LaGuardia and beat it to Chicago by Plane she can't possibly get there before tomorrow night a problem solved nothing's solved no he's not going to give me a divorce until she's ready and Gloria won't wait you say things are never better you'd have no trouble with Gloria if you could go to her with a divorce sign and you can persuade Mary to sign the consent if you'll quit using your hands and start using your head I wish I would like you it'd be so easy to kill myself drink that coffee while I lend you my mind consider your ignorant procedure up to now you've tried to have your wife divorce you by turning on your charm like a cover boy so the more you're around her the more she wonders if she should let you go I know Mary you can't get anything from her by hitting her over the head all right you also must know if there's a certain type of man she can't stand a type of man would be or pet hate you mean if I should show up in Chicago transformed into one of those characters that drive Mary to drink that'll hand over that divorce consent like it was a hot potato oh no Mary's too smart you see through that you can also see through water that people swallow it believe me if you're as repulsive as I'm sure you can be it won't matter to her whether you're acting or simply reverting to type maybe it would work if I can get her burned up enough that's the spirit pull it on make her so sick of you that the very mention of your name will make her gag let's get going while you're still revolting it's wonderful you jack to help me like this so unselfish like a bat borrowing blood poor Mary how she'll hate you in Chicago [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] you should be quite busy at Fort Sheridan as you can see your reputation is preceded do you mind standing up on a step Ed we can fire a few questions Captain what is your advice to A Wack with an unhappy husband or a boyfriend we future civilians are relying on you to show us how to hang on to our men captain well I'm a married woman and I know a married woman's problems I don't think I know all the answers but uh generally speaking a woman's greatest Aid and Readjustment will be tolerant smile Captain you mean close your eyes and pretend everything's all right I didn't say that a woman won't fight to hold a good man doesn't deserve it of course the ideal marriage is based on trust and faith it develops with gentleness and dignity no no surprise Peter a white woman all we had in the Pacific was coconuts

speaking of junk Peter did you show her the family skeletons or you wouldn't be interested that if I were you I instinctively wouldn't ask that you'll be sorry idiotic how on Earth do you associate this rubbish with your marriage these items should reveal a great deal to you about your future mistake bleach bone she says quite a bone all right answer me this honestly the salesman told me it'd make a wonderful present for a big strong man what did it do for me gave me an inferiority complex I know you won't believe me Peter but it didn't matter a bit to me that you couldn't lift it didn't matter I wish you could have seen the look on your face when I straightened up without it something seemed to snap inside me naturally hernia any doctor could have warned you you see how important something trivial can become in a marriage the fact that Peter couldn't lift that barbell caused a major change in his attitude toward me and and that in turn caused a change in my attitude so the barbell dragged its little attitude into the closet and locked the door utterly fascinating do you mean to say that you can't lift this is your tone implying you can almost unbelievable that a man your size what's in it blue you couldn't lift it even if you had the strength I'll show you how it's supposed to be done you've done it after all easy you look straight up you can't talk and lift at the same time I wonder why I can lift it now hey the Army must have done something for you yeah you know the silliest one of all yes the time I threw your love letters in there because you hadn't

played a tune when you open the lid they usually do it was Mary's favorite song she said it reminded her of our honeymoon in a little rooming house then you broke it yeah but it wasn't deliberate I

took the box like this I tried to do a little spring dance like this why is my heart dancing three I wanted to break the box if he didn't stop but he said what if he did not dead well get up and see

bad about the Box concert it was broken anyway well I'll have a check say I wanted to have it fixed before but it's got to be such an issue I guess we both acted like children a miracle you fixed it
