  Reverend Chatfield : Miss Franklin, I'm Reverend Chatfield. I came as soon as I got the message.

  Georgette Baxter : Thank you, Reverend. Come on in. Sorry to trouble you, but we want to get married.

  Reverend Chatfield : Married?

  Georgette Baxter : I hope we didn't spoil your day.

  Reverend Chatfield : Well, no, but I'm a little embarrassed at wearing this to perform a marriage. And... and besides, I was just ordained. I've... I've never done it.

  Sue Ann Nivens : Well, then, it's appropriate that you should wear white.

• [Georgette and Ted are going to recite their own vows]

  Sue Ann Nivens : Just say what's in your heart, Ted.

  Ted Baxter : Oh, right.

  Ted Baxter : [Murray whispers in his ear]  ... such a cluck.
