Holy Matrimony Page #2

Okay. All right. | Well... actually I'm fine.

- Thank you for asking. | - I presume you're Havana.

Then you presume | right on.

I'm Uncle Wilhelm. | I'm the head of the Colony.

- Welcome to our family, Havana. | - Thanks. It's...

Uncle Wilhelm, | I see you met Havana.

- Yes, we met, and it was | a beautiful moment had by all. | - Good.

[Chuckles] | Colony life will be difficult at first...

but it will be easier | if you live it for God's sake.

There is a lot for her to learn, | Uncle Wilhelm. It'll take a little time.

We are pleased that you | have decided to marry Peter...

- andjoin our simple way oflife. | - He is?

- She makes a fine breeder for us. | - Oh.

[Chuckles] | Thank you.

- Sorry, I... I have to work now. | - Okay.

You can breed this!

Havana, the rules of the Colony are | very strict. I had to think of something.

Some way that the elders would | let you stay 'til I think of a plan...

Plan? Is that what you call getting married; | figuring out a plan? What am I, a yo-yo?

- Shh. | - I'm getting whiplash. I have a plan.

And my plan is to go to Hollywood, | lose you forever. That is what I call a plan.

- Don't go screwing with my plan. | - We'd only be married a few weeks.

[Havana] | I'm not staying.! No, I'm not staying.

[Sighs]

[Man] Yes, there's a problem. Aproblem | with your performance in New Orleans.

You're goin' out | to pick up a robbery suspect.

Would you do me the courtesy | of checking the manual?

Look under "appropriate use | of Bureau personnel" before | you send a 30-year veteran...

- to do the job of a green-ass kid. | - Markowski, listen to me.

Your credibility is suspect; you are not | in New Orleans; you are not undercover;

you are in Iowa | and you are working for me.

And the manual says that I...

get to tell you what to do.

Robbin'a state fair?

Man, I used to be proud | to be an American.

You're going to Canada to bring | back PeterJakobson, his accomplice...

and the money.

This is the job. | You wanna do it, fine.

You don't; | Pension and Welfare down the hall.

[Crickets Chirping]

[Giggles]

Damn it!

Havana, come. It is our custom | to sew the dress for the wedding.

- We will take the measurements. | - All right, look.

If I'm gonna wear a little homemade number, | then at least I am designing it, okay?

This is what I want. I want a sweetheart | collar coming from a tight bodice.

- Two slits up the front. | - Oh, ja, ja.

- A long, long train coming | from a shiny satin bustle. | - Ja, ja.

- Can you guys do tassels? | - [All] Oh, ja.

- How 'bout ruffles? | - Ja, ja. Oh, ja.

- Yeah? | - Ja.

- What about pleats? | - Oh, ja.

Okay. | [Giggles]

Begehrst du diese Schwester | gern anzunehmen...

[Wilhelm] | Als eine Gabe van den Hemm?

Do you accept this sister | as a gift from the Lord?

I do.

[Wilhelm] Begehrst du ihn inallen | goettinchen Dingen gehorsan zu sein...

Damit Eines den andern eine Ursach zum | Gutten und zur Gottseligkeit sine moechte?

Will you be obedient to your husband | in all spiritual matters...

and will you encourage | each other to lead godly lives?

Yes.

It's done. So, you | may kiss the bride.

[Woman] | Eat well.

[Woman] | Eat well, father.

Psst.

[Woman] | Eat well.

Eat well, | Father.

- Eat well and choke. | - [Woman] Oh.!

[Chuckles] | She's... funny.

[Car Horn Honks]

[Brakes Squeaking]

This car's goin' to town. | Anybody going better jump in.

Peter, when you were gone, | what did you do?

- Stuff. | - What kind of stuff?

I saw things. | I saw the world.

Different things.

Different people.

And out of all the women | you saw, you decided on Havana?

[Chuckles] | Yeah.

Yeah, I decided | on Havana.

You know, the Bible says that | goodness, kindness...

purity and fullness of heart | are the qualities for a mate.

- Uh-huh. | - Does Havana have these qualities?

Or will we see them?

Maybe we better | keep an eye on her.

You got half an hour. | What do you want to do?

- Can I get ice cream? | - Yeah. Look. Here's money.

But don't go give it away. | It's the real thing in the real world.

- It's right down there. | - Thank you.

- [Children Shouting] | - [Bells On Bicycles Ringing]

- Let's go! | - All right, go!

[Shouting, Whooping]

[Woman On TV] | A record wheat harvest this year.

But only when the wheat's | in the bin and the money's in the bank...

can farmers breathe | a sigh of relief.

Here's a local twist on that | state fair robbery. Police are | certain that PeterJakobson...

who was identified in this video | taken with a hidden camera, | has made his way into Canada...

and with his accomplice will | be attempting to disappear...

into one of the local | Hutterite colonies.

Turning now to medical news, | scientists are encouraged with the way...

[Car Engine Roaring]

Are cars supposed to go | this fast?

Listen, I'm going | to have to go away.

You just came back. You said | you were back for good.

- Things change. | - But you promised we'd be together.

You and me, remember?

- Hey! I hate you! | - Come on. No, stop it!

Look out! | Slow down!

Where is it? | [Grunts]

- [Grunts] | - [Wilhelm Gasps] Havana.

Havana, we do not want to disturb | your mourning time...

- but may we come in? | - [Sighs] Yeah, but...

Sorry about... | Sorry about the mess.

Oh, we understand. | We understand.

I don't. | She's messier than the turkeys.

Everybody mourns | their own style.

Havana, Ezekiel has a duty | that needs to be attended to.

You know, the Bible | represents our law.

We are very strict about | observing all aspects and all dictates.

Our society...

is based upon following | tradition to the letter.

Please read Deuteronomy: | 25, 5. Right there.

"Thou shalt not | muzzle the ox."

No, no, no, | next verse.

"If brethren dwell together, and one | of them die and have no child...

"the wife of the dead | shall not marry unto a stranger.

Her husband's brother shall go in | unto her and take her to him to wife."

- Wait. What? | - What did she say?

Yeah, what did I say? | "The wife of the dead shall not marry...

"unto a stranger.

Her husband's brother shall go in | unto her and take her to him to wife"?

What is this book? | Is this a comedy or something?

Uncle Wilhelm, I think maybe I should | read 'cause she must be getting this wrong.

No, no, no, no, she's not incorrect, | nor the word of our Lord.

Havana, Ezekiel has | an obligation by our law...

to ask you... | to marry him.

- [Chuckles] | - But there's no cause for alarm.

You will simply | refuse him and that will be that.

- What will be what? | - Well... you have to leave.

- What do you mean I have to leave? | - Here. $100.

- We'll drive you to the bus stop. | It'll take you to the city. | - You can't just kick me out.
