Woman of the Year Page #8

what I've felt.

No reason why you should.

No chance of your making

a wrong choice.

You have Sam now,

while you're still young.

They're waiting, Miss Ellen.

Come on.

Dearly beloved...

...we are gathered here together

in the sight of God...

...and in the face of this company...

...to join together this man

and this woman in holy matrimony.

Which is an honorable estate...

...instituted of God...

...and therefore is not by any to be

entered into unadvisedly or lightly...

...but reverently, discreetly, soberly...

...and in the fear of God.

You are performing an act

of utter faith.

Believing in one another to the end.

As the bride gives herself

to the bridegroom...

...let him be to her

father and mother...

...sister and brother...

...and, most sacred, husband.

As he gives himself to her...

...let the bride inspire and sustain him...

...let her unite with him

in all the experiences of life...

...to which their paths shall lead.

The great moments and the small.

That the joys of each

shall be the joys of both.

And the sorrows of each,

the sorrows of both.

If you wish your new estate

to be touched with lasting beauty...

...cherish those gracious visions

of your first love.

Let them not be blurred

by the common events of life.

Be not moved in your devotion.

Believe in the ideal.

You saw it once.

It still exists.

It is the final truth.

William...

...wilt thou have this woman

to thy wedded wife...

...to live together after God's ordinance

in the holy estate of matrimony?

Hey. I wonder if you could

let me into my apartment.

Your apartment?

- I'm Mrs. Craig.

- Mr. Craig married?

Obviously. I've been out of town.

He took this place in my absence.

I'll take a chance.

Goodbye.

Flour.

"Separate three eggs."

Good morning.

What now?

I've come home, Sam.

Afraid I can't agree with you, Tess.

But, Sam.

This is our apartment by the river

you've always wanted, isn't it?

- I'm going to be part of it.

- What's the gag?

Sam, Pop and Ellen were married

last night.

I listened to the words.

You can't listen to them without...

You listened to them once before.

But I didn't hear them. Honestly,

I didn't. I heard them last night, though.

I love you, Sam.

Will you marry me?

You mean love, honor, cherish

and obey until death do us part?

- Yes, Sam.

- You're gonna live here with me?

Kiss me goodbye and wait for me

to come home...

...with stories about

what you and the girls did?

Yes, Sam.

Gonna run up diminity curtains

and sew my underwear?

- Yes.

- Cook and sew...

...and put on your rubber gloves

and wash the dishes?

This is the top phony of them all.

You've pulled some dandies, but

you've really reached the heights now.

Barging in here at dawn,

flushed and starry-eyed...

...and expect me to see rice

and old shoes floating through the air...

- Sam, why won't you believe me?

- I'll tell you why I won't believe you.

Every time you've tried to duck an issue,

you've made love to me. And I fell for it.

Until, in the office yesterday,

you realized that I was wise to you.

Now, why don't you drop the curtain

on this act.

But, Sam, you don't understand.

I'm gonna give up my job.

Really? What are you gonna do,

run for president?

I'm going to be your wife.

You don't think I can do

the ordinary things any idiot can do.

- No.

- Why not?

Because you're incapable of it.

You can't expect Seabiscuit to stop,

drink a glass of water and count to 7.

- That takes training.

- Well, I'm not Seabiscuit.

Fourth down, you better kick.

Sam, I can't do it.

I've tried, but I can't.

Tess. I'm disappointed in you.

I've been mad, but this is

the first I've been disappointed.

Make them stop.

Why do you have to go

to extremes, Tess?

I don't wanna be married

to Tess Harding...

...any more than I want you to be just

Mrs. Craig. Why can't you be...

...Tess Harding-Craig?

- I think it's a wonderful name.

Miss Harding... Miss Harding!

They told me at the office

that you'd telephoned for this address.

You've got to launch a battleship

at 8:
30.

Gerald.

I've just launched Gerald.
