In that playlet, Comedienne Elaine May and Tommy, portraying a pair of ridiculous bluenose censors, decide that they must substitute the word "arm" for "breast" in a script. "But won't that sound funny?" asks Tommy. "My heart beats wildly in my arm whenever you are near." Other routines that were cut were less innocuous.

Occasionally the exchange gets rough ("I think what you said is outrageous." "Why, that's crazy! That's absurd"). But the vehemence only testifies to the fact that the men involved think and feel deeply. They respond to each other from positions of strength and conviction.
