The bride is now cutting

Speech.
Speech.
Quiet please, quiet please.
Quiet, quiet, quiet.
Someone called for a speech.
What's that got to do with you?
I'm the best man.
The best-man always wins.
That's why I'm a bachelor.
Forgive them. They know
not what they're up against.
Now that this couple have entered into
a state of coma - I mean matrimony.
I would like to have them tell us
what they intend to do about it.
Well, not that it's anybody's business.
Especially the worst
best-man I ever saw.
But Laura and I are going to be
the most modern couple imaginable.
separate individualities.
That's a good trick
even if you don't do it.
And you?
We intend to take marriage
apart and see what makes it tick.
For the benefit of the less intelligent
among you .. I will translate.
Nevertheless, I will translate.
This is a marriage of advanced ideas.
A bigger and better matrimony.
There will be individual latchkeys,
toothbrushes and telephones.
But, there will be community gin.
Now that you have heard
both sides of this argument.
Your applause will determine the winner.
Now suppose you sit down and
give those brains of yours a rest.
The best man will give the
floor to a better best man.
Laura darling, hadn't
you better be on your way?
Yes, mother.
A good idea.
I allow my wife.
All liberties. But I do not
wish her to associate ..
With hoodlums, scoffers and whatnots.
Mister, whatnots to you!
Oh .. Mrs Hogarth.
Yes, mister Hogarth?
a big success. Yes.
It interested me more than any
wedding I've been to in ages.
Do you love me?
So much that I'm scared.
Happy?
Sort of floating .. delirious.
I'm so happy.
We'll have the longest
honeymoon in captivity.
Break.
Isn't it wonderful when two
great intellects like these unite?
Oh, go to ..
Naughty, naughty.
Come on, girls.
Say Jay, where is that little red book
of yours with all the telephone numbers?
Now you know I never had any ..
Don't give me that.
I'll be big-hearted. I'll let you
use it whenever you want to.
And what's more, I'll add
a few numbers myself.
Where is mother?
She didn't seem exactly pleased
with the way you were being razzed.
That kind of a spat wasn't a bit funny.
It seems to me the honors
went to you and Jay.
Perhaps I haven't done some solid
thinking on this marriage subject.
Do you mind if I give you
Go ahead if you like.
Just one little crack?
Shoot.
Well then ..
Whether you believe it or not.
Pretend to yourself that
marriages are made in heaven.
Hang on to your husband.
Even when you think
you are a fool to do it.
Is that how you think a wife should be?
That's how I think love should be.
Oh for heaven's sake, Kate.
I'll shut up now.
Well, what's up?
I think she's been going batty lately.
Come on, get out.
Mary.
Jay.
Yes?
Can you come in.
Right away.
Well mother, you can relax.
I'm off your hands.
Well, I hope so.
Especially after all that twaddle
about the modern ideas of marriage.
People may sneer at
marriage and its restrictions.
But nobody yet has ever found
a satisfactory substitute for it.
You talk as if Jay and I aren't serious.
How long have we planned
our marriage, darling?
Why, ever since we were kids.
I want you two to get all the
happiness you can out of life.
And that's not easy.
about "separate individualities".
Mother .. your worries
are over right now.
Get ready. Here they come.
Goodbye, children.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do, Laura.
Better go to Reno for your
honeymoon. It saves a trip.
Good luck!
There they go, Kate.
Come here .. I've got a message for you.
Whisper away.
Did you get my message?
I got it.
What's funny?
Your face.
Granted. But it never moved
you to raucous laughter before.
Oh no?
Well, take a look.
So I've married an
old lip-rouge spreader.
Maybe I should have
worn a baseball mask.
You must have a skin
lip-rouge loves to touch.
Better tall all your
women to be careful.
There. All traces of the crime removed.
Beg pardon.
Huh?
You-all want your berth made up?
Huh?
Oh .. alright.
He said Yes.
Oh, it's been heavenly here with you.
I never want to leave.
Why talk about leaving?
Well, we have to soon.
I have a wife to support.
But it's been such a short time.
It's been a whole month.
So the door of paradise opens.
And off we go.
It's your Mama phoning
from long distance.
Hello, mother.
Hello.
How are you and Jay getting on?
You haven't written me lately.
We're fine.
But we both have little colds .. uhuh.
I will.
And mother. Guess what?
I'm cooking my last dinner.
Now what?
Oh don't be alarmed.
It's only that I've got a job.
I mean, a position.
Really. Jay got it for me.
I'm a reader in a swell,
elegant publishing house.
I start Monday. Isn't it great?
opinion, I think it's ridiculous.
Your job is to run Jay's home.
And keep him purring with contentment.
You ought to know that,
even if he doesn't.
Now don't be such a wet blanket.
Where are my grandchildren coming from?
A desk?
But darling, you don't understand.
I understand perfectly.
