Start excerpted transcript:

(Theme for It Suits Her fades up and under)

Hello. This is Celia Court for The 3:57. The regular host, William Spear, is still suffering from quote "too many milkshakes" endquote. Wink, wink. Maxie offered to host again but, candidly, I am better.

And welcome back to our current series called IT SUITS CELIA. Actually, the title is IT SUITS HER.

My boss, Mr. Clarkson, nicknamed The Porcupine, has returned to the Smart Styles tailoring shop and HE IS MAD! I lied about his wife calling to make him leave, I didn't close the shop on time, and a customer, Maxie Williams, is still here.

He also took a few shots at Maxie's career ending over a decade ago and about being a drunk. I was annoyed Maxie hadn't volunteered that information himself.

Mr. Clarkson's prickly cross-examination was like cutting a cake with a chain saw: pieces went flying everywhere. Listen here for the details of . . . Episode Twelve of IT SUITS HER.

The Porcupine, uh, Mr. Clarkson, repeated itself: "Miss Court, why didn't you close the shop as I instructed you?"

"I tried," I said.

"Then how'd the drunk get in here?" he demanded.

Maxie rolled his eyes and said it was enough with the drunk lines already.

I told Mr. Clarkson he walked in before I could get the key.

"To sleep off a bender?" growled Clarkson.

Maxie explained he stopped to pick up his suit for an audition, then looked at his watch, and said, "Holy schmoly, look at the time."
