This Perry episode concerns a former baseball player who is having a rough time adjusting to civilian life. Which could be true of a lot of former baseball players, I suppose. They start the sport very young and are aged out pretty quickly. And then what? For Herbie Cornwall it's a job selling arch supports. His wife is a career woman, with a good job in the head office of a big department store. She also fools around with anything in pants.
The financial records of the store have been set on fire in Millie Cornwall's office. Her boss is prone to hyperbole. Nowadays, no screenwriter would dream of using a line like this one.
Boss: It’s a shambles, a complete holocaust.
Cash in the amount of $72,000 has been stolen from the office. The thief put the money in a briefcase which is the twin of the case Herbie uses to carry his arch support samples. He’s in his wife’s office so they can have a fight and he grabs the wrong briefcase on his way out. Later that night at home:
Victim-to-be: It’s you I love, Herbie.
Defendant-to-be: You and me and the sample case.
HB: Restrict your testimony to things you’re sure of.
Bartender witness: Oh, who knows anything for sure? I’m on my feet all night. Those hours go by like years.
