FRANK: Mary, do you think I made a wrong decision?

MARY: If you really want to know what I—

Frank, now don’t faint, but my parents want to speak with us before the ceremony. Mary and Charley back up Frank, I’m not pregnant.

FRANK: What?

Do you still want to get married?

Before, my reason was the baby. Now my reason is you.

I am pregnant.

FRANK: Beth!

I just wanted to be sure!

MRS. SPENCER: Elizabeth,

Momma, how do I look?

MRS. SPENCER: Your father and I just want to say one thing, Elizabeth.

Momma, you’ve said it all. For two days.

MRS. SPENCER: That man doesn’t even have a real job! My daughter told me she was going back to being a legal secretary just to support you.

Momma, now I told you that in private!

MR. SPENCER: Boy, we’re prepred to give you two thousand dollars right here right now.

Daddy!

CHARLEY: The minister just got here.

Where’s Evelyn?

CHARLEY: Evelyn’s my wife. She’s way in the back of the room. See, often they have to stop weddings right in the middle because of her sobbing. Which I try not to take personally.

Let’s start.

MRS. SPENCER: Elizabeth? Here’s grandma’s ring.

Oh, thank you momma.
