- I'm station manager, Dan Aykroyd.
During the past few weeks in Los Angeles,
actor, Lee Marvin, and his former live-in companion,
Michele Triola Marvin, have been in court
to settle her claim that he owes her
half his income from the six years they lived together.
That is the subject of tonight's Point CounterPoint.
Jane will take the pro Michele Marvin point
while I take the-- [audience groans and claps]
anti Michele Triola counterpoint.
[audience claps] Jane?
- Dan, times change and so does
the nature of relationships.
People are reluctant to get married these days,
and looking at divorce statistics,
who can blame them.
But the lack of a piece of paper
does not necessarily mean the lack
of a total commitment.
A woman in this modern-day relationship
may well give up all her own personal pursuits,
as Michele Marvin claims she did,
to give her full support to her man's career.
And Michele Marvin is just asking
that the courts recognize that reality.
Dan, there's an old saying,
behind every successful man there's a woman,
a loving, giving, caring woman.
But you wouldn't know about that, Dan,
because there's no old saying
about what's behind a miserable failure.
[cheers and applause]
- Jane, you ignorant slut.
[cheers and applause]
Bagged out, dried up slunk meat
like you and Michele Triola know the rules.
If you want a contract, sign on the dotted line.
Oh, but let's all shed a tear for poor Michele Triola.
There was only testimony that she had
sexual intercourse over 40 times
with another man while living with actor Lee Marvin.
But I suppose that sort of fashionable promiscuity
means nothing to someone like you, Jane,
who hops from bed to bed
with the frequency of a cheap, HAM radio.
[laughter]
But hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
And Michele Triola, like a screeching,
squealing, rapacious swamp sow,
is after actor Lee Marvin's
last three million dollars.
I guess what you and Michele are saying is
that when you're on your backs, the meter is running.
Well, please spare us gals,
and tell us the rates at the top.
Then we can choose which two-bit tarts
and bargain basement sluts to shack up with.
- That's the news, good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
