(Theme for It Suits Her comes up)

Hello. Welcome to The 3:57 and our series IT SUITS HER. I am the host William Spear.

In the last episode, Maxie tried lying to get his suit but Celia was having none of that. Round one went to her but he is determined to withstand her verbal onslaught.

The tailoring shop is full of fireworks for Episode Five of . . . IT SUITS HER.

Celia continued harshly: “We are closed and you need to leave!”

Maxie picked himself up from being flattened by the 9:02 Celia Express: “Wait just one moment. I am Argosy Williams.”

“Argosy Jones?” asked Celia.

Maxie winced from her getting his last name wrong: “It’s Williams. Argosy Williams and I require my suit – tonight.”

Celia returned his volley: “I am Celia. Celia Court and I require you to leave – now.”

“I need my suit to audition for a play,” said Maxie

Once again Celia outmaneuvered her opponent: “I need you to exit stage left . . . or else.”

“Or else, what?” was Maxie’s steely response.

Celia declared her intent to call the police.

Maxie’s re-stated intention of not leaving without his suit was met with Celia brandishing her phone like a ninja sword.

Having failed at regrouping, Maxie tried defusing: “Now there’s no need for that, Miss . . . uh-?”

Celia cut him off: “I just told you. I am Celia Court. My friends call me Ceel.”

He interpreted the offered nickname as a thaw in her demeanor: “I am Argosy Maxwell Williams. My friends call me Maxie. Pleased to meet you Ceel.”

He was not rewarded for his efforts.

Only her friends could call her Ceel, she promised, and Maxie was no friend.

Maxie stomped his size eight-and-one half custom-made leather shoes for emphasis: “Young lady, I am Argosy Williams.”

“I’ve still never heard of Argosy Jones,” she said.

He slammed his forehead into the palm of his hand muttering. “Williams, Williams, Williams.”

“Leave, leave, leave,” encouraged Celia.

“But I am Argosy Jones!”

“I thought you said your name was Argosy Williams,” Celia noted with a sly smile.

Maxie realized Celia had reduced his attack into pretzel logic and responded with a primal: “Ahhhhhhhh!!!!”
