Four Weddings and a Funeral Page #4

---

Mind if I join you?

No. It'd be lovely.

Another glass of whiskey

and a cigar.

Hold on. Make that a bottle.

We might as well settle in. Let's

see if we can push on till dawn.

- Lovely wedding.

- Yes, yes.

I was at school with his brother

Bufty. Tremendous bloke.

He was head of my house.

Buggered me senseless.

Taught me things about life.

Where you know him from?

University.

Splendid. Splendid. Yep.

I didn't go myself.

I couldn't see the point.

When you're working the money markets

what use is Wordsworth gonna be?

Excuse me. Your wife says,

"Could you come upstairs at once?"

Room 12, in case you can't remember.

- My wife?

- Yes, sir.

Oh, my wife! My wife!

You are drunk. You can't

remember you got a wife.

Yeah, yeah.

- Do you mind if I?

- No, no. Off you go.

- Best of luck.

- Thanks.

Lucky bachelor me, I'll have another

search for that Katie creature.

- Carrie.

- That's the one. Damn fine filly.

I think I'm in there.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Sorry about that.

That's fine.

He was hard to get rid of.

Yeah.

So...

Maybe we could just...

...skulk around here

for a bit, and then...

...go back down.

Now that's a thought.

I don't usually skulk a lot...

...but I suppose I could skulk if

skulking were required.

Do you skulk regularly?

No. No, I don't normally...

...think of myself as a skulker,

but...

Well, why don't you come in

and skulk for a while...

...and we'll see.

I noticed the bride and groom

didn't kiss in the church...

...which is kind of strange.

Where I come from, kissing is

very big.

Is it? Yes, well, you're right.

We probably are more reserved.

"You may now kiss the bride," isn't

in the book of common prayer.

I always worry I'll go too far

in the heat of the moment.

How far do you think

too far would be, then?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe...

That would be all right.

That would be fine.

In fact, it might be

a bit dismissive.

Maybe this...

...would be better.

Yeah, I think it would be dangerous

to take it any further.

I mean...

You know...

That might be taking it

a little far.

What about this?

You think the vicar would think things

had slipped a bit out of his control?

I think he might.

This kind of thing is really

better suited...

...to the honeymoon than

to the service itself.

Why do you think

it's called a honeymoon?

I don't know. I suppose it's...

..."honey" because it's sweet

as honey.

And "moon" because it was

the first time...

...a husband got to see

his wife's bottom.

What's happening?

I have to go.

- Where?

- America.

That is a tragedy.

Just before I go...

...when were you thinking of

announcing the engagement?

Sorry. Whose engagement?

Ours.
