On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
- Noel
- [ Woman ] Well, what do you think?
I don't see how we can
do much better than that.
- Oh, come on. I'm tired shopping.
- Okay.
Born is the King of Israel
Say, I wish we had some rice.
- Why, you hungry?
- You know what I mean.
It's bad luck without rice.
Well, you don't have to worry about
the old shoes. I'm wearing them.
-Judge Bush?
- Uh, uh, yes.
Won't you come in?
It's pretty cold out tonight.
It sure is.
We, uh, we want to get married.
- Married? Really?
- You don't disapprove, I trust?
Oh, no, not at all.
I should say not.
They want you to marry them, Papa.
Oh, me?
Oh, yes, of course.
Well, come right in.
This is Mrs. Bush.
- How do you do, Mrs. Bush.
- Good evening.
- Thank you, Mrs. Bush. The same to you.
- Yes.
- Oh, look at the little cat. Hello.
- Let's see now. You said you
want to get married.
- That's right.
- You mean now?
- Well, anytime within
the next four or five minutes.
Oh, splendid. Now, if I could
just find those certificates I have.
I had them around here this morning.
- Um, what do you call them, dear?
- Licenses, Papa.
Oh, yes.
Here, I think these--
Yes, here it is.
Here's a brand-new pad--
''Marriage License.'' Uh, one or two?
- Uh, two people, one marriage.
- Yeah.
- One, I think, Papa. It is one, isn't it?
- Well, don't you know?
- Uh, may I see?
- Yes, go ahead.
Yes, this is it.
- Yes. Yes, you see, there's a place for you...
- Yes.
- and there's a place for him.
- [ Chuckles ]
- Now, would you sit down here
and fill it out, please?
- Oh, certainly.
- Now, here's a pen.
- Thank you very much.
That's all right.
I've got a little black book around here
somewhere that tells the whole thing.
I saw it around here
this morning somewhere.
- I beg your pardon,Judge.
- Yes?
May I ask you how long
you've been in this business?
- Oh, about, uh, three or four hours.
- Hours?
Yes. A man brought the letter
about 6:
00, uh, 6:30, didn't he?- 6:
3 5 exactly.- Oh, yes.
- Oh, it was like a beautiful
Christmas present.
- Yes.
- Wasn't it, dear?
- Yes, indeed.
- What sort of letter?
- His appointment. He's just been appointed.
- This is his first marriage.
- Yes, my very first.
- Oh, say.
- Steve?
Yes?
- Age?
- Forty-four.
- Color?
- Pearl gray.
- Here it is.
- Oh.
Yes, this is it. Thank you, Mama.
Now we're all set.
See, signed by the governor.
Governor Bush is Judge Bush's nephew.
Really? But are you sure you know
how to marry people?
Well, it's, uh, it's all right here
in the book. What's to stop us?
I don't know.
What do you think, honey?
- You mean try another one?
- Why not?
Oh, no. Please.
What good would that do?
Everybody has the same book.
But they know where
to look in the book.
They don't have to go fumbling around
through the index to find out
how to get started.
Please don't go. This is our first marriage.
And on Christmas Eve.
I believe it would break my heart
if we failed at it.
We're not blaming you, Mrs. Bush.
But we can't afford to take any chances.
If we're married by tomorrow, we have
a chance at a top radio program.
It's a breakfast show. And we'll be a fine,
wholesome, young American couple...
having a bit of good, clean, nauseating fun
over the bacon and eggs every morning.
- Oh.
- However revolting this may appear to you...
it means a very pretty penny to Miss,
uh, Goody Two-Shoes and to me.
And besides,
we love each other.
That's right too.
We naturally wouldn't want anything
fouled up right here at the post.
Who's gonna foul it up?
All I got to do is read it out of the book.
Well, I'm sorry, but this
is my first time out too.
And I think I'd rather have it handled by
somebody who's already up on the part.
- Wouldn't you, doll baby?
- Would you really like to see
an old hand take charge here?
May I see the book?
Page 46.
- Uh, we'll need another witness too.
- Oh, that's right.
- It starts right about there.
- Yeah, I see.
- For Heaven's sake, you're right.
- Hey, you, take off your coat.
You're not being married
in a pool room.
- Say, how do you know so much about--
- Don't ask. You got the ring?
''My friends, we are gathered here
on this occasion--''
Hold it,Judge.
Wait till I give you the cue.
Oh, um, come along. Come along.
Right under here, huh?
Uh, you stay there, laughing boy.
[ Whispering ]
All right now, ''Silent Night.''
- Now all we need is--
- Silent night
Holy night
- Ready, White Fang?
- Ready, Panther Girl.
All is bright
Round yon--
Take it,Judge.
Take it,Judge.
Dear Senator...
your appeal for a pardon
for your brother-in-law--
[ Buzzes ]
- Yes?
- [ Woman ] Your Uncle Melvin's here.
Oh, really? Send him in.
Your grandfather's here.
- Hello, honey. How are you?
- Hi, Grandpa.
- How's Grandma?
- Oh, she's fine, I guess. I--
How are you, Uncle Melvin.
What brings you up here?
I don't know. Frank called me up
on the phone last night...
and told me
to be here at 1 1 :00.
- [ Buzzes ]
- Yes?
- [ Woman ] The attorney general's here.
- Send him in.
Here he is now.
How are you, Cousin Frank?
- You dope.
- You see, that's the way he was
to me over the phone last night.
