...with a ten-foot pole

 Donald Hollinger:

Mr. Marie, What I want to convey is -

Lew Marie:

What I want to convey is, that I wouldn't show this book to a man like T. L. Harrison with a ten-foot pole!

Ann:

Oh, Daddy, you promised!

Lew:

I didn't promise, I offered.  And the offer is hereby rescinded.

-------------------------------------- Mrs. Marie, with a hopeful attitude, then tries an offer of coffee again - Mr. Marie is all ticked off about the book's contents, and Don and Ann leave and go back to New York City with the manuscript.

(No one has any coffee.)
