Well, we'd like

to do it tonight.

Tonight?

Well, I know...

They're in a hurry.

Like, they two...

Oh, I see.

I see.

Yes, and I have raised him

to be a good Christian boy,

so there will be no

consummation without a wedding.

Walk with god, son.

And I don't want you

telling the locals about this.

I want this to be

a private ceremony.

Do you understand?

Of course, Millie.

I don't want them

and their vile gossip

ruining my son's special day.

Very well.

Well then, I guess that's all.

Do you have a license?

Excuse me?

Well, I can't marry

them without a license.

Ben, I thought you did all that.

No, you have to go to city hall.

Oh, there's no problem.

A few forms to fill out.

They give it to you

right on the spot.

Well, you know where

the court house is.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, well then, that does it.

See you at nine, Ben.

Come on, Billy.

I'll be damned.

In mysterious ways you do work.

Oh, what a lucky

young woman you are.

We can't have you

going to a wedding

with your lips all sown

shut like that now, can we?

Do you think you

can behave yourself?

Okay.

Then let's take those

nasty stitches out.

I'm so glad I held

onto these instruments.

And now just a little snip.

There.

There.

And there.

Okay, now, did you know

I have everything

to deliver a baby?

See?

Yes, I can deliver

your baby right here.

There.

So, you see, I used to

help frank all the time.

There's really nothing to it.

One more.

Let me look there.

Yes, I think I have

a lovely lipstick

that will cover those

little stitch holes.

You're never gonna

get away with this.

Of course I will, honey.

No.

There now.

This won't hurt a bit.

It'll just keep you

from getting cold feet.

There.

Now we can get you

ready for your wedding.

Here's your pen.

You can sign right

there, please.

And right here please.

All right, and

that'll be 35 dollars.

There you are.

Ashley.

Yeah?

Was that Billy Colvin?

Yeah, William f. Colvin.

What did he just do?

He picked up a marriage license.

Can I see this?

I need a copy of this.

Okay, sure.

Thanks.

Oh.

Oh, don't you look

just breathtaking.

Do you think the lipstick

is a little bit much?

Oh well.

I can't wait for

Billy to see you.

You're so pretty.

Joe.

Joe, you gotta see this.

I was at the court house

filing traffic citations,

and guess who was getting

a marriage license?

Billy Colvin's getting married?

Yes, but look who he's marrying.

Oh sh*t.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Okay, you take her for a minute.

I gotta do something.

Here, here's the train.

Here, take the train.

I got her, I got her, mommy.

It just takes the

edge off, Billy.

Oh, gotta take a picture.

Okay, smile.

Perfect.

Okay, here we go.

Here we go, let me, I got it.

Here, get some flowers.

All right, I got her.

Okay.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

That a girl, that a girl.

Easy, easy.

Get her in there.

Watch out for, watch

out for her hair!

I worked on that

all god damned day.

Get her dress in there.

Okay.

Good boy, good boy.

Well, don't you look nice.

Are you nervous, Billy?

Yes sir.

Well, don't you worry.

Just enjoy it.

It's a man's right of passage

to be married to a woman.

Put your foot up.

God embraces matrimony.

Mother says when the music

starts, she'll bring her in.

Oh my god, Billy.

She looks beautiful.

No, this way.

Is she okay?

She's fine.

She just had a little

too much champagne.

Dearly beloved, we

are gathered here today

to welcome Billy and Amanda

into an agreement

of holy matrimony.

If there is anyone present

who objects to the

wedding of these two,

please speak now or

forever hold your peace.

For god's sake Ben,

there's nobody here.

Get on with it.

I'm sorry, Millie.

I'm just reading

what's down here.

Well, get on with it.

Mildred!

The church.

Do you, Billy

Colvin, take this woman

to be your lawfully wedded wife,

to have and to hold in

sickness and in health,

for richer or poorer,

'til death do you part?

Yeah.

I do.

Oh god, I wish your dad

were here to see you, Billy.

And do you, Amanda Millard,

take this man to be your

lawfully wedded husband,

in sickness and in health,

for richer or poorer,

'til death do you part?

Answer him.

Now.

God damn it.

Answer him.

No!

You f***ing c*nt.

God in heaven.

What have you done?

Mother.

Mother.

Someone, call the police!

Billy, get your hands up!

Put 'em up!

Drop your weapons!

Put 'em up!

I don't wanna go in a cage!

Dispatch, this is sheriff Palin.

10-40 is a Mitchell

church of Christ.

I need an 11-40...

I need 11-4...

Just get me an ambulance

and back up, pronto.

Ben, stick around.

I'm gonna have some

questions for you later.

Get her out of here!

I don't wanna go in a cage!

Good morning, everyone.

This is case number dr7413.

Millard Verus Colvin.

Counsel, it's my understanding

that you've been successful

in reaching an agreement today

to settle this case out

of court, is that correct?

Yes, your honor.

That's correct, your honor.

And Mr. Colvin, I understand

that you are currently

serving a five-year sentence

for being an accessory

to kidnapping,

harassment and assault.

Is that correct?

Yes, your honor.

And it's my understanding

that you are in agreement

that you are going to transfer

all of the inherited assets

that you received from

the late Mildred Colvin

to Ms. Millard.

Not limited to,

but also including

the Oregon hotel,

the gas station

and the surrounding property,

and I need to assure

that you are entering into

this agreement voluntarily

of your own free will.

Is that correct?

Yes, sir, I want her

to have all those things.

And counsel, it is also

my further understanding

that your client, Ms. Millard,

has agreed to

accept these assets

in full settlement of this suit.

Yes, your honor.

Ms. Millard.

I'm sorry, ma'am, you

have to speak out loud.

Here you to.

I'm sorry, yes, your honor.

All right, I'm gonna go

ahead and sign the agreement.

Ms. Millard, I'm sorry

for your troubles,

and I'm certain that nothing

that we can do here today

is going to impact

that completely,

but I hope this at

least begins the process

of taking you to a better place.

Thank you all very much.

Court is adjourned.

You did so good.

You did so good.

Adam, how many

times have I told you

not to run through the sheets?

You're gonna get 'em all dirty.

He's so cute.

Good thing.

Okay, this is enough,

I can't take anymore.

Seriously.

Adam.

Adam, where are you, darlin'?

Adam.

Adam.

Brittany.

Adam.

Adam.

What did you do?

What did you do?

It's okay, mama.

She was nothing but a

gold digging little whore.
