Episode 0114 "The Young Die Good"
Written by Murray Burnett, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall
A couple moves in next door to a strange house with a strange inhabitant. One sees an old, desiccated woman. The other sees a young attractive woman. The difference of vision exacerbates their marital difficulties.
Welcome to the shadowy land of the imagination where all things are possible. Would you believe that a husband and wife could look at the same woman and the wife would see her as an old lady almost in her dotage while the husband sees a beautiful woman in her early thirties? Impossible, you say?
I've never been able to figure out why it's customary to tie strings of empty tin cans to the car of newlyweds. What do the empty cans signify? I can't go along with the cynic who suggested... that the cans symbolize the extent of home-cooked meals that the poor groom is going to get for the remainder of his lifetime. I know for a fact that this wasn't true of the young newlyweds we're about to meet. Lisa and Ray Bissonnette. Lisa happened to be a good enough cook to be able to win prizes. And on the day our story opens, she'd left a roast in the oven while she went out and explored the small grounds of the Bissonnette's little dream house. A high hedge ran alongside the driveway that separated the Bissonnette house from their neighbor.
