BISHOP. Sh!
[KEN enters, followed by MARTIN and TIPPY.]
KEN. Who said I had no manners! [To BISHOP and LAURA, with absurd, ironic dignity.] The boys say I wasn't a gentleman. I apologize.
LAURA. Never mind, Ken.
KEN. A man ought to be a gentleman, even to his wife. [She turns away. To his father.] A man ought to respect his father. I apologize.
BISHOP. I accept your apology, son.
KEN. [To boys.] There you are! I apologized to my father. He accepted my apology. [To LAURA.] I apologize.
LAURA. All right, Ken. I accept your apology. [At the end of her self-control.] And now that's enough.
KEN. No. I got one more apology to make.
TIPPY. All right, Ken. I'll take the next one.
