I'm Going! a Comedy in one Act Written by Tristian Bernard

The literary piece "I'm Going! A Comedy in One Act," written by Tristian Bernard caught my interest because it is a comedic play. The act is about a husband who has a routine of going to horse races alone. All of a sudden, his wife decides that she wants to go with him to the races but the husband tries to convince her to stay at home because the weather was bad. Also, he did not want to spend any additional money for a cab. Due to the rain, the husband gets to enjoy watching the races alone instead of having to take his wife and taking care of her. If his wife tags along with him, everything chances at the racetrack for them man. He is forced to dress appropriately and behave accordingly. The wife insists that she come along, however, if she comes along he will have to put up with her negative remarks and she will try to have a conversation during the races. During this play, the wife insists that her husband stay home and spend the rainy day with her rather than leaving her at home and seeking amusement on his own.

At one point, the wife was suggests that they take a walk together, but the husband is quick to remind her that the rain is expected to come down pretty soon. If the couple decided they were going to take a walk, the husband complains that his wife does not walk like a normal human being. She would walk in front of him, cutting him off and leaving him no space to walk through. She would walk so fast that the husband has to run in order to keep up. The couple argues for an extended period because the husband does not want his wife to ruin his day at the track nor does he want her to ruin her dress. After a long disputed argument, the wife decides to let her husband go but before leaves, refuses to return a goodbye kiss as he attempts to kiss her on his way out like they always do.

The wife is extremely stubborn and it takes her a long period of time to finally give her husband a kiss. Meantime, the wife decided to telegram her friend and the husband thinks that she is planning something mysterious. The husband assumes that his wife and her friend are meeting up with a gentleman while he is out at the races by himself and thinks that his wife is merely trying to get some revenge. The husband is now starting to become upset and does not want his wife to go out her friend and is suddenly considering staying at home with her. The wife's friend suggests that she and her husband go out for a dance rather than staying at home or going to the horse races. The husband still insists that it is not a good idea because it is about to rain. The evening is getting late and the argument is going nowhere. She decides to let him go to the races while she stays at home to have a cup of hot chocolate and trim hats by herself.
