Bill Cosby: Far from Finished Page #3

to marry him?"

"Yes, he proposed."

"What did he say?"

He said :

"Will you marry me?"

And that's because

she never paid attention.

Now, the two men...

The two men in the wedding...

important...

are told what to do.

The father of the bride

is told.

"You walk her down here,

"give her to him,

"and then you come over

and sit beside me.

"And stay sober.

"And don't go around

asking strangers

how much they think

all of this cost."

So much for the power

of the father of the bride.

The groom has no power.

He's given an opportunity

to invite

all of his best buddies.

They come,

and they are called the...

- Groomsmen.

- The groomsmen.

And the reason

why he's given that privilege

is because

this is the last time

he will ever see them...

Except maybe as pallbearers.

Now, I don't know if

you're planning to get married

for the first time.

All you fellas,

now just listen to me carefully.

I... If you can swing it,

I think it'll be very nice.

Take... take the father

of the bride out.

Let him sit

next to the bride's mother.

In his place,

while you're standing

and waiting for her,

you will put your mother.

The groom's mother...

think about it...

is bringing her.

You see?

You can now see your whole life.

Here comes the woman

who brought you into this world,

now bringing to you

the woman who is going to...

No, let me say it !

Take you out !

Thank you.

So now, you men pass up

certain things.

You don't recognize...

When you're married,

you don't recognize

certain things that...

Pardon me...

that she's doing.

She's not an evil person.

I don't think

that she is like a person...

"Uh, give me that big, red one.

I'm gonna ride 'em

till he can't breathe anymore."

No, I don't think that.

But I do know...

That... that they...

they...

Things belong to them...

And you don't know that.

You think this is yours...

That it belongs

to the two of you.

"My wife and I."

See, it's not true.

The first time I ever

talked out loud to myself...

I was married seven months.

I came in,

and I took my shoes off,

put 'em there,

and I , I went back

to get something to drink,

came back, and they were gone.

They were gone

because a part of my mind said...

Because the eyes told him,

"What happened to your shoes?"

So I answered myself.

I said :
"I don't know."

So... so my brain said :

"Well, they were here."

I said :

"Yeah, I took 'em off."

And then my brain said :

"Yeah, we saw you do that.

We saw you...

you put 'em right there."

So things started...

to move.

And the reason is,

they are not...

Yours.

And where they...

- Belong.

- Belong!

Said many of the wives

sitting in the back.
