Loretta appears destined to a life of homemaking, but Doolittle recognises his wife's musical talent, and buys her a guitar as an anniversary present one year.

I don't wanna go

against y'all, Mrs. Webb,

but, yes, I'm really set on it.

Two things I want

you to promise me, boy.

Don't you never hit her

and don't take her off

far away from home.

Yes, sir.

I promise you that.

Wilt thou love her,

comfort her,

honor and keep her

in sickness and in health

and forsaking all other,

keep thee only unto her

so long as you both shall live?

I will.

And, Loretta, wilt thou have this

man to be thy wedded husband,

to live together in the

holy estate of matrimony?

Wilt thou love him,

comfort him,

honor and keep him

in sickness and in health

and forsaking all other,

keep thee only unto him

so long as you both shall live?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, I will.

Who giveth this woman

to be married to this man?

I do.

Please join right hands.

The wedding ring is

an outward and visible sign

of an inward

and spiritual grace

signifying unto all the uniting

of this man and this

woman in holy matrimony.

Do you two have rings?

DOOLITTLE:
I ain't got

no ring, Judge.

(DOOR CLOSES)

She'll warm up here

in just a minute.

I got a present

for you from Mama.

(UNZIPPING PANTS)

(URINATING)

(TOILET FLUSHING)

Well, go on, get ready

for bed, baby, come on.

(SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Loretta, you ain't supposed to wear

a nightgown over your clothes.

I'm freezing, Doo.

(LAUGHS)

Get on in there and take off

everything, but your nightgown now.

(WHISPERS) Go on, Loretty.

Go on!

Move. Go on, now.

(SIGHS)

Get off.

Don't do that.

Don't! Doo, no!

It's just a little rough the

first time, Loretty, is all.

Don't worry about that.

Come on, baby.

Don't, Doo. No!

Hush, Loretty.

No, Doo!

No! No.

(CRIES OUT)

This stuff's cold.

It's because it froze between

here and the damn restaurant.

You want a hot breakfast,

you got to go with me.

I ain't going in there having

all them people looking at me

knowing what we've

been doing in here.

Hell's bells, Loretta, do

you think this is something

the rest of the world

ain't caught on to yet?

They don't give a damn.

Baby, it's just a little rough

the first time, that's all.

Didn't seem too rough on you.

Well, you better get

used to it, darling,

because that's what

a damn marriage...

I ain't gonna get used to you getting

on me and sweating like an old pig!

You told Daddy you wouldn't hit

me and look at you already.

Well, hell, I'm sorry, Loretta,

but you drove me to it!

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

(DOG BARKING)

Hi, hon.

Look here at this. These

radios are on sale real cheap.

You reckon we could get us one?

(GROANS)

Here, you read that.

Then we'll talk radios.

My gosh, Doo, this has

got pictures in it.

Ugh!

(WHISTLES)

Here, dog.

(BARKING)
