Getting Jel'
- Then, they get into an argument about the wife's hat. She pressures the husband to tell her if he really likes the hat, after he says it looks good on her.
- He says it's probably great and in style, but he really, really likes this one blue hat she had.
- The wife says that it's horrible that the first thing he says to her, once he's got her alone after their wedding, is that he doesn't like her hat. She tells him her hat is actually a far more expensive one than the old blue one.
- The husband says he'll probably like the new hat when he gets used to it, and that he doesn't know anything about women's hats.
- The wife says it's too bad he didn't marry someone with the same taste in hats—like Louise. She angrily asks him why he didn't marry Louise, if he thinks she's so beautiful and would love her taste in hats.
- She claims that the husband has only talked about how great Louise is since they've got on the train, which (she says) is an awful thing to do to someone you've just married. The wife says the husband should've married Louise, who probably would've jumped at the chance since not that many people are waiting in line to ask her.
- The husband says that maybe she should've married Joe Brooks. The wife says maybe she should have. Joe Brooks wouldn't have got her all alone and hurt her feelings—he's fond of her.
- The husband points out that Joe Brooks didn't buy her a wedding present. She says that's only because he was away on business. He'll get her anything she wants—but the husband says he doesn't want anything Brooks gets her in the apartment.
- He asks the wife if she's been exchanging letters with Brooks—she suggests she might've. The husband gets angry and says that needs to stop.
- She says he's one to talk, since he just keeps going on and on about Louise and how he was thinking about her on his wedding day—at the altar, in front of God!
