Our drama begins to unfold as we hear Mrs. Burns say to Mr. Burns... See how this sounds, George? I just wrote this. Mrs. George Burns takes pleasure in announcing the marriage of her cousin Nelly to Mr. Carrie Grant.

Wait a minute. Your cousin is going to marry Carrie Grant? But that's ridiculous. I don't know. She could do a lot worse. Yes, but he couldn't. How in the world did you get him to agree to this?

Oh, he doesn't know about it yet. Well, don't you think that he might have something to say? Oh, George, don't be naive. When a girl decides to marry a man, he has very little to say.

Well, even when you and I went to get the license, All you said were those three little words. Three little words? Yeah, let me five. I was the silent broke type. Oh, I'm so happy finale. She needs a husband.
