00:00:00.467 --> 00:00:02.902
- I'm station manager,
Dan Aykroyd.

00:00:02.969 --> 00:00:05.004
During the past few weeks
in Los Angeles,

00:00:05.071 --> 00:00:06.939
actor, Lee Marvin, and his
former live-in companion,

00:00:07.006 --> 00:00:08.641
Michele Triola Marvin,
have been in court

00:00:08.708 --> 00:00:10.509
to settle her claim
that he owes her

00:00:10.576 --> 00:00:12.879
half his income from the
six years they lived together.

00:00:12.945 --> 00:00:15.114
That is the subject of
tonight's Point CounterPoint.

00:00:15.181 --> 00:00:17.050
Jane will take the pro
Michele Marvin point

00:00:17.116 --> 00:00:18.784
while I take the--
[audience groans and claps]

00:00:18.851 --> 00:00:20.953
anti Michele Triola
counterpoint.

00:00:21.020 --> 00:00:23.022
[audience claps]
Jane?

00:00:23.088 --> 00:00:24.524
- Dan, times change and so does

00:00:24.591 --> 00:00:26.359
the nature of relationships.

00:00:26.426 --> 00:00:28.594
People are reluctant to
get married these days,

00:00:28.661 --> 00:00:30.029
and looking at
divorce statistics,

00:00:30.096 --> 00:00:31.130
who can blame them.

00:00:31.197 --> 00:00:32.631
But the lack of a piece of paper

00:00:32.698 --> 00:00:34.067
does not necessarily
mean the lack

00:00:34.133 --> 00:00:35.502
of a total commitment.

00:00:35.568 --> 00:00:37.070
A woman in this
modern-day relationship

00:00:37.137 --> 00:00:39.806
may well give up all her
own personal pursuits,

00:00:39.872 --> 00:00:41.608
as Michele Marvin
claims she did,

00:00:41.674 --> 00:00:44.043
to give her full support
to her man's career.

00:00:44.110 --> 00:00:45.745
And Michele Marvin
is just asking

00:00:45.812 --> 00:00:48.181
that the courts recognize
that reality.

00:00:48.248 --> 00:00:49.549
Dan, there's an old saying,

00:00:49.615 --> 00:00:51.951
behind every successful man
there's a woman,

00:00:52.017 --> 00:00:53.919
a loving, giving, caring woman.

00:00:53.986 --> 00:00:55.321
But you wouldn't know
about that, Dan,

00:00:55.388 --> 00:00:56.689
because there's no old saying

00:00:56.755 --> 00:00:59.425
about what's behind
a miserable failure.

00:00:59.491 --> 00:01:02.529
[cheers and applause]

00:01:06.866 --> 00:01:08.868
- Jane, you ignorant slut.

00:01:08.934 --> 00:01:12.906
[cheers and applause]

00:01:12.972 --> 00:01:14.507
Bagged out, dried up slunk meat

00:01:14.574 --> 00:01:16.742
like you and Michele Triola
know the rules.

00:01:16.809 --> 00:01:19.011
If you want a contract,
sign on the dotted line.

00:01:19.078 --> 00:01:21.781
Oh, but let's all shed a tear
for poor Michele Triola.

00:01:21.848 --> 00:01:22.882
There was only testimony
that she had

00:01:22.949 --> 00:01:24.450
sexual intercourse over 40 times

00:01:24.516 --> 00:01:26.485
with another man while
living with actor Lee Marvin.

00:01:26.552 --> 00:01:28.287
But I suppose that sort
of fashionable promiscuity

00:01:28.354 --> 00:01:29.488
means nothing to
someone like you, Jane,

00:01:29.555 --> 00:01:30.857
who hops from bed to bed

00:01:30.924 --> 00:01:32.959
with the frequency of
a cheap, HAM radio.

00:01:33.025 --> 00:01:35.461
[laughter]

00:01:35.528 --> 00:01:37.296
But hell hath no fury
like a woman scorned.

00:01:37.363 --> 00:01:38.798
And Michele Triola,
like a screeching,

00:01:38.864 --> 00:01:40.867
squealing, rapacious swamp sow,

00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:42.268
is after actor Lee Marvin's

00:01:42.335 --> 00:01:43.870
last three million dollars.

00:01:43.937 --> 00:01:45.571
I guess what you and Michele
are saying is

00:01:45.638 --> 00:01:47.941
that when you're on your backs,
the meter is running.

00:01:49.976 --> 00:01:51.176
Well, please spare us gals,

00:01:51.243 --> 00:01:52.745
and tell us the rates
at the top.

00:01:52.812 --> 00:01:54.113
Then we can choose
which two-bit tarts

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:55.773
and bargain basement
sluts to shack up with.

00:01:55.773 --> 00:02:01.906
- That's the news, good night
and have a pleasant tomorrow.
