Years later, the apparent perfect marriage of Ted and Jerry falls apart from infidelity on both sides. Inwardly unhappy, popular Jerry lives a party life while Ted sinks into a life of alcoholism.

We must get her to the hospital quick.

No, she's not, she's dead. You're lying

to me. Let me see her face.

Mary. Mary, come up here.

Don't look at her.

Oh, I never thought

it'd be so horrible, Jerry.

- Just come away. Don't look at her.

- Oh, I hope she dies.

- Jerry, I hope she dies.

- You don't know what you're saying, Mary.

She was so pretty. I hope she dies.

You! You!

You dirty rotten beast!

I told you not to drive.

I tell you, if you've killed my sister,

you'll pay for this.

Mary, you don't know what you're saying.

Got drunk, just because Jerry

turned you down.

You quitter. You rotten, rotten quitter.

You hear me on this, you'll pay for this.

If you've wrecked my sister's life,

I'll make you pay for this.

I'll make you pay for it.

I'll make you pay for it.

Oh, that rotten beast!

- With this ring...

With this ring...

...I thee wed.

... I thee wed.

- In the name of the Father...

- In the name of the Father...

...and of the Son...

... and of the Son...

...and of the Holy Ghost.

... and of the Holy Ghost.

- Amen.

- Amen.

God the Father, God the Son,

God the Holy Ghost.

Bless, preserve and keep you.

The Lord mercifully with his favor

look upon you

and fill you with all

spiritual benediction and grace

that ye may so live together in this life

that in the world to come

ye may have life everlasting.

Amen.

Well, it ain't my place to say it, Miss Jerry,

but if I had a boss that was so hard-boiled

he wasn't satisfied with my working

all day at the office

without slaving home at night,

I'd tell him to go to...

The place he's heading for, and moreover...

Thank you, Hannah.

Have you got Mr. Ted's bag packed?

Just going to. No offense is intended

and I hope none will be took,

but if I had a husband

that went to Chicago

on the third anniversary of his wedding,

leaving me behind,

I wouldn't consider it natural.

But he has to go, Hannah. It's on business.

Well, I suppose so.

Oh, Miss Jerry, if you don't

need me anymore,

I've got a date to go to the second show

with the butcher.

Are his intentions honorable, Hannah?

I'm afraid they are.

He just wants to keep a good customer.

- Hello, darling.

- Hello, Ted.

- Many happy returns.

- Same to you, darling.

I brought you something.

- Surprise.

- Ted.

- Go ahead, open it.

- Oh, you darling.

Just to remind you that you married me

three years ago today.

Ted, you adorable,

extravagant wretch, you.

- You must've robbed a bank.

- No, it belonged to my mother.

- I had it reset for you.

- Oh, it's lovely, darling.

- You like it?

- Mmm.

It's to keep your wedding ring company.

You dear. It's lovely.

Will you think of me

every time you look at it?
