A policeman talking on a payphone.

“I just caught Slippery Joe, Chief.”

A boy resists going to the dentist.

“Try to be brave, Doctor.”

A man and woman arguing in a room.

“Why don’t you ever stop talking to me for a few days like the wives of other men?”

A police officer reunites with his wife.

“Do you still miss him?”

A woman scolds a man reading a newspaper.

“This is my wife – I’d like to have my eyes examined.”
