Party Leaving to Gun Flashcards
LIONEL: Well I…
Please, we don’t have much time.
LIONEL: It’s just…
If you aren’t going to help me, I have to know now.
LIONEL: I want to help you. I don’t know you, but I want to help you.
Thanks.
LIONEL: I’m willing to help you. But marriage? Isn’t that asking a lot?
Ok. Let’s forget all of them for a minute and do it ourselves.
LIONEL: Do what ourselves?
Take this ring.
LIONEL: What ring? You’re not holding anything.
Pretend. Colin has the real one.
MAY: Pretend. Colin has the real one.
LIONEL: All right.
Now repeat after me; with this ring…
LIONEL: With this ring…
I thee wed…
LIONEL: I thee wed…
To have and to hold from this day forth…
LIONEL: Wait a minute.
Please, there isn’t much time.
LIONEL: But I think -
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD…
LIONEL: To have and to hold…
From this day forth…
LIONEL: From this day forth…
Till death do us part.
LIONEL: Till death do us part…?
Now you give me the ring.
LIONEL: What ring?
Pretend, for heaven’s sake!
LIONEL: Here. (HANDS MAY THE RING)
With this ring, I thee wed, to have and to hold, from this day forth till death do us part.
Mrs Lionel Stark. I like that.
LIONEL: I just want to know what this is all about.
I just couldn’t stand it anymore! It was time to take some positive action.
LIONEL: Stand what?
Being single.
I wouldn’t mind being an old maid if I were older, but right now, in these awful middle years, it’s like I don’t know who I am or what I’m doing! But the BTP put a lot of things into focus for me.
LIONEL: The BTP?
Bridal Terrorism Party.
MAY: Bridal Terrorism Party.
LIONEL: I don’t understand.
There was this study a couple of years ago that said a woman over the age of thirty-five would more likely be the victim of a terrorist attack than get married. The BTP was formed to make that report false. There is an eighty-seven percent success rate in BTP marriages.
MAY: … success rate in BTP marriages.
LIONEL: Really?
Really. In the orientation program, we’re trained to spot certain characteristics that are ideal in a husband.
MAY: … characteristics that are ideal in a husband.
LIONEL: Like?
… I’m not at liberty to say. But rest assured, we don’t just settle – we choose our victims carefully.
LIONEL: But maybe instead of picking out someone you don’t know, you might have met someone who you connected with?
It hasn’t happened yet.
MAY: It hasn’t happened yet.
LIONEL: Ever?
Oh, a few close calls along the way, but I like this idea better.
