suck me in on this clambake. No, indeed.

Now look, Cas.

Don't you think

you're taking this too seriously?

At the real ceremony, okay.

But today, what is it?

Just testing the gallows.

Fill up the gap. Fill up the gap.

Now, keep in step.

Splendid. Splendid.

Keep in step.

Do you know anything about the

Ellen Harris Maternity Hospital in Chicago?

Please, Father.

Don't rush, bride.

Keep in step.

Straighten up, groom. Mustn't sag.

Snap it up, will you.

Fill up the gap.

Come along, Madge. No, no, not too fast.

Well, I think everything

is about ready, Doctor.

Splendid. Splendid.

Now, may we have it quiet, please?

- What about the "Q"?

- "Q?"

Yes, if it was a mistake,

how'd they get your middle initial?

- Father.

- What?

- Rehearsal.

- But nobody was saying anything.

Is he all right?

- I heard that.

- Quiet, please. Please.

Someday somebody's going to say that

just once too often.

John, dear.

Cas, what is it?

I'm sorry, I don't feel very well.

- Cas, darling, I...

- No, please.

Excuse me for a few minutes.

Suppose somebody asked you if you were

out of your mind. How would you feel?

And how would you prove you weren't?

Cas.

Jumping Jupiter! Where's the light?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know it was getting so late.

Well, that's quite all right.

Listen, Cas, if that letter's a mistake,

we're in a very pretty position

to knock off a little quick dough.

They can't run around scaring the pants off

young bridegrooms with letters like that.

Suppose Madge had got a hold of it?

Now, my idea is this.

The first thing tomorrow morning,

I'll nip down to the public library

and get a hold of a law book,

just to see what kind of charges

we can slap on them.

And then I'll pop up to Chicago

and drop in on this female sawbones.

Of course, I don't think it'd be quite smart

to tell her outright that I'm a lawyer.

Something might snap back at me.

But if I lay it on the line

with a certain legal air. You know?

Why not?

Because it may not be a mistake.

But, of course it...

- What did you say?

- I said it may not be a mistake.

What... What gives, Cas?

I don't know. I can't find out.

I tried to call her

on the phone long distance,

but the number's been

temporarily disconnected.

Called whom?

I just don't know what to do.

Now, if I may suggest,

if you fail to touch a base somewhere,

I'm not without a measure of experience

Along certain lines.

No, no, no, nothing like that.

It's worse.

- J. J?

- Yes?

I am in a very...

A very strange situation.

Yes, I should judge so.

Perhaps a very serious situation.

Oh, I hope not.

Now, listen.

Can I trust you to keep your mouth shut

about this thing?

- At least just for the present?
