  Samantha Stephens : Aren't they a bit late?

  Doctor Passmore : Mrs. Stephens, they would like to commemorate the event.

  Samantha Stephens : Yes, of course. Well, what's this got to do with Darrin?

  Doctor Passmore : Well, it's necessary for us to inform the public of our undertaking. That means advertising, and I understand your husband excels in that field.

  Samantha Stephens : Oh, he does. And it sounds like a wonderful idea. I'm sure I can vouch for Darrin. And I'm certain that he'll be happy to do your publicity.

  Doctor Passmore : Oh, really? Then I may depend upon it?

  Samantha Stephens : For such a worthy cause? I give you my word.

  Darrin Stephens : [some time later]  You gave him your word? Honey, I'm right in the middle of planning the Jarvis account, I'm drawing the Slater TV commercials, and I'm racing the time clock planning that Murphy's Supermarket opening, and you gave him your word.
