The Wedding Night Page #4

how you make this cake.

KAISE:
It's very simple.

Use lots of sugar with the strawberries.

GRANDMA:
Won't you have

some more cream for your cake?

TONY:
Oh, no. Thank you.

Everybody, have wine.

Now, listen to me, everybody.

This morning I buy land from Mr. Barrett.

Manya, she say no buy more land.

It's more good to have money.

I say is more good to have land.

Because is not for me, this land.

Is for Manya and Fredrik.

So, when they two get married,

they have land for plant tobacco

and for build house.

Manya, Fredrik, your hands.

Manya, is not right.

JAN:
So...

Now, Fredrik, you take Manya's hand.

God bless your union, make it fertile.

God bless your land, make it rich.

- Amen.

- ALL:
Amen.

JAN:
Is good for you two to marry.

Will be happy, have lots of babies.

Now you kiss.

Everybody, Na zdrowie!

ALL:
Na zdrowie!

Sobieski, now we go to see the land.

You better hurry, Mrs. Barrett!

Number 10 comes in at 2:00.

I can't go without my husband.

Oh, why doesn't he come?

Everything fixed, windows, doors.

I lock them up now, please?

Yes, lock it up and throw away the key,

as far as I'm concerned.

Me, too. I no like country, not as much.

Like better New York.

You and me both, Taka.

House full of funny noises at night.

No can sleep.

It's the ancestors, Taka.

They get down off the wall at night and

walk around, see how things are going.

Yes, I think so, too. Ancestors.

JENKINS:
We're waiting for you,

Mr. Barrett.

Hello, Mr. Jenkins.

You're here early, aren't you?

No.

- I thought we were taking the late train.

- DORA:
We were, but we're not.

- Did you get the money?

- Well, what's the hurry?

- Did you get it, I said?

- I did.

Then come on, everything's ready.

I was scared out of my wits

you'd come back without it,

but I would've gone anyway.

- One more day in this crazy place...

- Here, here, not so fast.

I'm not going.

You're not going?

Sorry to let you down, Dora,

but I'm staying right here.

I've found my next book.

Bring them back in, Taka. We're not going.

I know how you feel, Dora,

but you're wrong this time.

I'd been running all over looking for a life,

and I found it right here under our noses,

in America.

Those people, Dora, they're a godsend.

They're like something

out of another world.

And what a family. My head's full of it.

Wedding bargains, prune soup,

and Sobieskis and...

How interesting.

Well, I must say, you're a lot of help.

Well, I know you, Tony. Last year,

it was the sailors in that stupid boat,

and the year before, the natives in Spain,

and I tagged along,

peering over your shoulder for months,

and what happened?

What happened? You didn't write a line.
