1:18:02
What'd you say?
1:18:04
I'm just repeating what Miss
LaMonica sent me here to say.
1:18:07
You're not gonna... Miss LaMonica
made it very clear that...
1:18:10
what the syndicate
has at stake with the magazine...
1:18:13
whatever I did to you, it would be nothin'
to what my associates would do to me.
1:18:18
Gee, Mr. Twilight!
1:18:21
Abner!
1:18:24
Oh, Rose Ellen.!
Yes?
1:18:26
Rose Ellen,
1:18:29
l... I gotta talk
to your father.
1:18:32
Excuse me!
1:18:38
You and Rose Ellen
going to be married...
1:18:41
my fondest dream since you
two were in kindergarten.
1:18:44
I know what a decent,
wonderful boy you are.
1:18:48
Thank you.
1:18:50
I know that and all who know
you know that, but, Abner,
1:18:56
the world doesn't know that.
1:19:00
In the eyes of the world,
you are... well, a rake,
1:19:03
whose amorous exploits
with countless women...
1:19:10
Common gossip. Yeah, I
know, Reverend Wilkerson.
1:19:13
The first thing in the morning, I'm
gonna call that press conference...
1:19:17
and explain the kind of man
I really am.
1:19:19
I'm gonna show 'em
my citations, my potholders...
1:19:23
Abner, there's just one thing that
you must make absolutely clear to them:
1:19:28
And that is,
that you are pure.
1:19:32
Pure? It's only fair to my little girl...
1:19:35
that the world knows
that the man she is marrying...
1:19:36
is just as virtuous as she is.
1:19:41
Uh, you mean
that you want me to, uh,
1:19:45
uh, come right out there
in front of all those, uh,
1:19:48
newspaper men and
television cameras, and...
1:19:51
and tell them
that I am a...
1:19:54
virgin.
1:19:56
Yes, Abner!
