Scenes with Laura Petrie 3
RPRob Petrie
Morning, honey.
[puckers his lips expecting a kiss]
Laura Petrie
(in rapid-fire fashion) What do you mean by that? It may be a good morning for you, but it wasn't for me! You didn't have to clean up the mess that this one made when he decided to finger paint all over the bathroom mirror with the toothpaste. And you don't have to be concerned at all about the fact that the cleaning woman isn't coming today and you have five people coming over for lunch. Sure, go ahead, good morning! Why not?
RPRob Petrie
(recoiling) Honey, give me another chance. I'll go out and come in again. I won't say good morning. I'll just wave as I go by.
RPRob Petrie
Laura, there is no reason for your behavior!
Laura Petrie
There is every reason for my behavior — I'm angry!
RPRob Petrie
Angry, yes, because I wouldn't behave like a puppet! Because I felt a responsibility to my employer!
Laura Petrie
For heaven's sake, Rob, that's not why I'm angry. I realize you have to do what you think is right. I wouldn't respect you if you let yourself get pushed around by anyone, including me.
RPRob Petrie
Well, what are you angry with me for?
Laura Petrie
I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with me for being angry with you.
RPRob Petrie
Well, is there anything I can do to patch up this little quarrel you're having among yourself so I can get out of the doghouse?
Laura Petrie
Did you ever think of trying a kiss?
(Rob leans over to kiss her on the neck)
Laura Petrie
Not on the neck.
(Rob kisses her lightly on the cheek)
Laura Petrie
That's better.
(Rob kisses her lightly on the lips)
Laura Petrie
Almost.
(smiles)
Laura Petrie
(they embrace and kiss deeply) Oh, yes.
(they resume their kiss)
Laura Petrie
"Oh, Rob!"
MCMel Cooley
(after being insulted by Buddy) "YEECH!"
ABAlan Brady
"Shut up, Mel!"
SRSally Rogers
"It's just like my Aunt Agnes always says..."
RPRitchie Petrie
"Oh yeah, I forgot."
