The Purchase Price Page #3

Come on in the front room.

I got a couple who want to get married.

I can't come now, Elmer.

I'm making a cake.

Don't give me no argument,

I said to come. You too, Clyde.

Here are your witnesses.

Let's get it going.

Hello, Mr. Gilson.

So you're taking the fatal plunge.

Quit your giggling, Ma.

Let's get it going. The sooner we get

it going, the sooner we'll get finished.

I'm making a sponge cake.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here

in the sight of God...

...and this company to join together this

man and this woman in holy matrimony.

Into this holiest state, these two persons

present come now to be joined.

If any man can show just cause why

they may not lawfully be joined together...

...let him now speak

or else forever after hold his peace. "

"And receiving a ring. "

"And by joining hands...

...I now pronounce that they are man

and wife. "

Three dollars, please.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

I hope you'll be very happy.

Yeah, fine. L... Thanks.

Oh.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Much further?

We'll be there in a few minutes now.

You don't get into town very often,

do you?

No, not very.

Those are funny-looking horses.

They're fine horses.

Built for work.

Maybe we should have bought

some rice in town.

- What for?

- To throw over ourselves.

So this is home.

This is the living room.

And that's the kitchen.

The bedroom's over here.

Oh.

Just one bedroom?

You know...

...you surprised me

when you got off the train.

You're so pretty.

Thanks, but you couldn't have been

awfully surprised. You got my picture.

Well, I didn't know

it was really your picture.

Oh.

Hadn't you better do something

about that cold?

I'll sweat it out...

...working...

...tomorrow.

Are you kind of tired?

No, not much. Maybe a little.

Guess you had

a long, hard trip here on the train.

Oh, it wasn't so bad.

And the wagon ride out here from town,

sort of tires a person, till you get used to it.

The roads aren't very good, are they?

Well, they're a lot worse in the spring,

after the rain.

Well...

...it's getting too cold

to stay up much longer.

Guess we better turn in.

Oh, it can't be very late yet.

Oh, well.

Better move those bags.

They got seed in them.

Don't bother.

I won't fall over them again.

Oh, let me go.

Oh, get away from me.

Oh, you little...

What's that?

Probably neighbors come to shivaree us.

To do what to us?

Shivaree, the wedding celebration.

All the neighbors from miles around

come to celebrate our wedding.

And it gives them a good excuse

to get drunk.

Oh.

Hey, come on.

Bring them on.

Hi, Jim. Hello, Mrs. Gilson.

I'm Joe Atterbury.

This is my wife, Minnie.
