1
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:02,902
- I'm station manager,
Dan Aykroyd.

2
00:00:02,969 --> 00:00:05,004
During the past few weeks
in Los Angeles,

3
00:00:05,071 --> 00:00:06,939
actor, Lee Marvin, and his
former live-in companion,

4
00:00:07,006 --> 00:00:08,641
Michele Triola Marvin,
have been in court

5
00:00:08,708 --> 00:00:10,509
to settle her claim
that he owes her

6
00:00:10,576 --> 00:00:12,879
half his income from the
six years they lived together.

7
00:00:12,945 --> 00:00:15,114
That is the subject of
tonight's Point CounterPoint.

8
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:17,050
Jane will take the pro
Michele Marvin point

9
00:00:17,116 --> 00:00:18,784
while I take the--
[audience groans and claps]

10
00:00:18,851 --> 00:00:20,953
anti Michele Triola
counterpoint.

11
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:23,022
[audience claps]
Jane?

12
00:00:23,088 --> 00:00:24,524
- Dan, times change and so does

13
00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:26,359
the nature of relationships.

14
00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:28,594
People are reluctant to
get married these days,

15
00:00:28,661 --> 00:00:30,029
and looking at
divorce statistics,

16
00:00:30,096 --> 00:00:31,130
who can blame them.

17
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:32,631
But the lack of a piece of paper

18
00:00:32,698 --> 00:00:34,067
does not necessarily
mean the lack

19
00:00:34,133 --> 00:00:35,502
of a total commitment.

20
00:00:35,568 --> 00:00:37,070
A woman in this
modern-day relationship

21
00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:39,806
may well give up all her
own personal pursuits,

22
00:00:39,872 --> 00:00:41,608
as Michele Marvin
claims she did,

23
00:00:41,674 --> 00:00:44,043
to give her full support
to her man's career.

24
00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:45,745
And Michele Marvin
is just asking

25
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:48,181
that the courts recognize
that reality.

26
00:00:48,248 --> 00:00:49,549
Dan, there's an old saying,

27
00:00:49,615 --> 00:00:51,951
behind every successful man
there's a woman,

28
00:00:52,017 --> 00:00:53,919
a loving, giving, caring woman.

29
00:00:53,986 --> 00:00:55,321
But you wouldn't know
about that, Dan,

30
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:56,689
because there's no old saying

31
00:00:56,755 --> 00:00:59,425
about what's behind
a miserable failure.

32
00:00:59,491 --> 00:01:02,529
[cheers and applause]

33
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:08,868
- Jane, you ignorant slut.

34
00:01:08,934 --> 00:01:12,906
[cheers and applause]

35
00:01:12,972 --> 00:01:14,507
Bagged out, dried up slunk meat

36
00:01:14,574 --> 00:01:16,742
like you and Michele Triola
know the rules.

37
00:01:16,809 --> 00:01:19,011
If you want a contract,
sign on the dotted line.

38
00:01:19,078 --> 00:01:21,781
Oh, but let's all shed a tear
for poor Michele Triola.

39
00:01:21,848 --> 00:01:22,882
There was only testimony
that she had

40
00:01:22,949 --> 00:01:24,450
sexual intercourse over 40 times

41
00:01:24,516 --> 00:01:26,485
with another man while
living with actor Lee Marvin.

42
00:01:26,552 --> 00:01:28,287
But I suppose that sort
of fashionable promiscuity

43
00:01:28,354 --> 00:01:29,488
means nothing to
someone like you, Jane,

44
00:01:29,555 --> 00:01:30,857
who hops from bed to bed

45
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:32,959
with the frequency of
a cheap, HAM radio.

46
00:01:33,025 --> 00:01:35,461
[laughter]

47
00:01:35,528 --> 00:01:37,296
But hell hath no fury
like a woman scorned.

48
00:01:37,363 --> 00:01:38,798
And Michele Triola,
like a screeching,

49
00:01:38,864 --> 00:01:40,867
squealing, rapacious swamp sow,

50
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:42,268
is after actor Lee Marvin's

51
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:43,870
last three million dollars.

52
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:45,571
I guess what you and Michele
are saying is

53
00:01:45,638 --> 00:01:47,941
that when you're on your backs,
the meter is running.

54
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:51,176
Well, please spare us gals,

55
00:01:51,243 --> 00:01:52,745
and tell us the rates
at the top.

56
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:54,113
Then we can choose
which two-bit tarts

57
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:55,773
and bargain basement
sluts to shack up with.

58
00:01:55,773 --> 00:02:01,906
- That's the news, good night
and have a pleasant tomorrow.
