Holy Matrimony Page #5

Uncle Wilhelm, I think maybe I should | read 'cause she must be getting this wrong.

No, no, no, no, she's not incorrect, | nor the word of our Lord.

Havana, Ezekiel has | an obligation by our law...

to ask you... | to marry him.

- [Chuckles] | - But there's no cause for alarm.

You will simply | refuse him and that will be that.

- What will be what? | - Well... you have to leave.

- What do you mean I have to leave? | - Here. $100.

- We'll drive you to the bus stop. | It'll take you to the city. | - You can't just kick me out.

Nobody wants to kick you out, | but we have no choice.

As an outsider, you are | not allowed to remain here.

I know this seems harsh, | but it is the best.

The Hutterite way of life, | Havana, is not for you.

So I have to leave now | with this $100?

I'm sorry.

EzekielJakobson, it falls to you to perform | the duty of the brother-in-law. Ask her.

Let us get this | done with.

But, Uncle Wilhelm, I'm only | 12 years old. I still hate girls.

- L-I'd much prefer a frog... | - Don't disgrace yourself in the eyes of God!

- Ask her, please. | - But I'd make a bad husband.

- Don't make me do this. | - You must, child!

It's the Lord's rules. | You must please Him.

Um... | [Sighs]

Uh... will you... | Will you, um...

- Do you wanna... | - Go ahead, Ezekiel.

- Go ahead. | - Do you wanna... [Panting]

Do you... wanna marry... | [Panting]

You-You know what I mean. | I can't... I can't breathe. I can't breathe!

[Chuckles] You guys have been out | in the sun for too long.

You marry... | [Gasping]

Do you wanna marry me | or not, you dumb pig?

[Chuckles] | Guys, I admit...

this is one goofy twist | on the whole boy-girl thing...

but let's not throw the baby out | with the bathwater, okay?

[Chuckles] If you would have told me | out on the street that the Bible...

is the happening book that I now think it is, | you could've knocked me over with a feather.

[Giggles] | But, guys, I have seen the light.

I have been saved. So, if the only way | I could stick around here...

and soak up more of this religion stuff | is to get hitched to the little midget...

then count me in, honey.

My answer is yes.

- [Crashes] | - [Havana Chuckles] | I'll marry the little brat...

but that little fainting trick | has got to go.

- How can we allow this? | - It's not our place to challenge the Lord!

We do not believe that our brother colonies | would be so literal to the written word.

- We will be ridiculed! | - This is correct!

- None of them will believe us! | - No one will.

- There must be something. | - The Bible doesn't say | anything about children!

- We must not do this! | - [Everyone Talking At Once]

My people! | My people!
