  Jim Gentry : Ruby and I were married last Thursday in New York.

  Neil Fallgren : Well, congratulations, Jim. I mean it.

  Jim Gentry : I'm sure you do.

  Neil Fallgren : I'll run it front page tonight, if you say so, Jim.

  Jim Gentry : That's why I called you over.

  Neil Fallgren : Any, uh, sort of statement you want to make?

  Jim Gentry : You can say we're both very happy, and we're glad to be home.

  Shug Biffle : And we can sure say the bride's a beauty. Let me tell you, Ru... Mrs. Gentry. You look like a million dollars.

  Jim Gentry : Heh heh, I've seen a million dollars, and believe me: Ruby looks a whole lot better.

  Shug Biffle : Yeah, I'll run along too.

  Jim Gentry : Oh, one more item: You might want to say we're going to give a party real soon. End of next week. So that all my friends can meet Mrs. Gentry.

  Ruby Gentry : [graciously]  You two gentlemen are invited... and your wives.

  Neil Fallgren : Well, that's nice of you. Right, Shug?

  Shug Biffle : [awkwardly]  Very nice. Thank you very much, Mrs. Gentry, we'll sure be there.

  Neil Fallgren : Couldn't keep us away.
