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!
1:20:00
Well, what I mean is...
1:20:03
Well, no man likes
to come right out and, uh...
1:20:08
Well, look,
wouldn't it look...
1:20:10
kinda silly for a man to call a big press
conference just to announce that he's a...
1:20:16
virgin.
1:20:18
Abner, you are.
Oh, yeah! Oh, sure!
1:20:23
It's just that, uh...
1:20:25
Well, maybe I could get the idea across
without actually coming out and saying it.
1:20:30
No, Abner.
The truth must be known.
1:20:34
Oh, yeah,
but to come right out...
1:20:37
and... and to say it
like that, you see.
1:20:44
Lots of times there are women
at those press conferences.
1:20:47
I know one woman
who will be there... Rose Ellen.
1:20:51
Rose Ellen? And I'll be there with
her to announce your engagement.
1:20:57
Well, gee,
that's swell.
