Arnold Jackson: [Returning from the party, Arnold finds a pair of very angry newlyweds waiting for him] ... Hi, there!
Philip Drummond: DON'T YOU "HI THERE" ME! *Where have you been?*
Arnold Jackson: Out in the hall, looking for suspicious characters. Did you know the local crime rate is up 11%?
Philip Drummond: Sam woke up AN HOUR AGO and he couldn't find you. He was so worried something had happened to you, he called us - and *we had to leave right in the middle of our own wedding reception!*
Arnold Jackson: Is Sam okay?
Maggie McKinney: Physically, yes... thank Heavens.
Philip Drummond: You went to that party, didn't you...?
[he doesn't even wait for an answer]
Philip Drummond: HOW COULD YOU *DO* SUCH A THING!
Arnold Jackson: There's this girl, Angela... She's wild about me, and I don't get that many opportunities.
Maggie McKinney: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Arnold, you may have done this to meet a girl, but you have *not* handled yourself like the sort of boy a girl needs - even if *she* thinks she does.
Philip Drummond: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] I definitely would not approve Kimberly's relationship with any boy who left a seven-year-old home alone... at night, no less!
Arnold Jackson: Good point... I'm sorry.
Philip Drummond: Sorry is NOT good enough. You go and sit in your room, Don Juan, while I think of a suitable punishment.
Arnold Jackson: How "suitable"?
Philip Drummond: *VERY* SUITABLE!
Arnold Jackson: That bad, huh?
[he retires upstairs]
Maggie McKinney: ...Let's not make it TOO suitable; he *did* get us out of that BORING reception.
Philip Drummond: I haven't forgotten!
