A Kiss for Corliss1949

Corliss Archer:
Dexter, you weren't with me tonight.

Dexter Franklin:
Huh?

Corliss Archer:
Well, there's no point in having Daddy tear you into little pieces. You know his temper.

Dexter Franklin:
What are you going to tell him?

Corliss Archer:
Oh, I'll think of something. Just remember, no matter what, you weren't with me tonight.

Dexter Franklin:
I can't do it. I can't let you take the rap.

Corliss Archer:
Oh, I'll figure out a story.

Dexter Franklin:
When?

Corliss Archer:
Oh, I don't know. Give me a minute to think! Oh, my mind's an absolute blank.

Dexter Franklin:
If it isn't a blank now, it will be when your old man gets through with you.

Corliss Archer:
Dexter! Not when he gets through, before he starts.

Dexter Franklin:
Huh?

Corliss Archer:
My mind's a blank. I can't remember anything. I've got amnesia, like in the movie.

Dexter Franklin:
It might work.

Corliss Archer:
Oh, it's gotta work. But Dexter, you must remember, no matter what happens, no matter what I say or do, you weren't with me tonight!

Dexter Franklin:
I weren't with you tonight.

Corliss Archer:
Wish me luck.
