| Harry | It looks wrong. |
| Philip | Hmmm. It is wrong. |
| Richard | Are they always that difficult to make? |
| Philip | The truth is...yes. I'll try again. |
| Robbie | At this rate, the wedding will take place tomorow. |
| Philip | Not to wory. OK.Here we go. |
| Harry | I'm worried, Philip. What if we can't tie the tie? |
| Richard | If we can't tie the tie, then there can't be a wedding. |
| Robbie | You'd better not make Harry any more nervous than he is. Don't worry.We'll figure a way. |
| Grandpa | How're you doing, fellas? |
| Harry | Not so good, Grandpa. We can't get this bow tie tied. Nobody dnows how to do it.Do you? |
| Grandpa | No. I never could, either. |
| Philip | Well, you have your own tuxedo. How do you tie your bow tie? |
| Robbie | Yeah, Grandpa, I've seen you in it. You look great.How do you tie it? |
| Grandpa | I don't. |
| Richard | You don't? |
| Harry | What do you mean? |
| Grandpa | I never could tie one of those...things...bow ties. I have always worn a clip-on bow tie. |
| Harry | A clip-on? |
| Philip | Of course. Now I remomber. |
| Grandpa | Yes, it's so easy. All you do is clip it around under your collar. |
| Richard | We all need one of those. |
| Robbie | The tuxedo rental store. Do you think they're open? |
| Philip | Should be. Sunday's their big day. |
| Richard | I'll call and find out. |
| Grandpa | Well, if they're not, I'll lend you mine, Harry. You're the only one who really needs to be wearing a tuxedo, anyway. |
| Harry | Thanks, Grandpa. |
| Philip | I'm the father of the bride. I'm supposed to be worried about my daughter, and here I am with the man that's marrying my daughter-worrying about him. |
| Grandpa | Poor Harry. I know the feeling. Wedding-day litters. |
| Robbie | Are they open? |
| Richard | We're in luck. They're open. And they have lots of clip-on bow ties. |
| Robbie | I'll bicycle down to the village and get them. |
| Harry | You'd better hurry, Robbie. |
| Grandpa | There's lots of time. A little over two hours. |
| Harry | In two hours and fifteen minutes I'll be married to Susan. |
| Philip | And be a true member of the Stewart family. |
| Grandpa | Oh, you're a lucky guy, Harry. Susan is one of the best women you'll ever find. She's just like her grandma. |
| Richard | Now, once you put the ring on Susan's finger, you are one of us, Harry. And don't ever forget it. |
| Harry | Ring? Ring? Oh my! What did I do with the rings? I put them in the pocket of my sports jacket. |
| Richard | No, I think you put them in your tuxedo jacket pocket. Remember? |
| Harry | Right. What did I do with the rings? |
| Philip | Didn't you give them to Richard? He's your best man. I remember. You gave them to Richard. |
| Richard | Oh, yeah. I remember now. You handed them to me. What did I do with them? |
| Harry | I hope they aren't lost. |
| Grandpa | Oh, don't worry, Harry. They have to be here. |
| Richard | I remember. I gave them to Robbie to hold so I wouldn't lose them. |
| Harry | Oh, I forget. What time is it? |
| Grandpa | It's still a little over two hours, Harry. Just relax. |
| Harry | What about the rings? |
| Richard | I'm sure Robbie has them. |
| Harry | No, NO, Robbie doesn't have them. He gave them to me to hold on to them because he didn't want the responsibility of holding them. I put them in my tuxedo but in the lapel pocket. That's a relet. I was really worried. |
| Richard | I'll hold on to them for you. The best man always keeps the rings. |
| Harry | You're right. You're right. You hold on to them so there won't be problem later. |
| Philip | Well, now, I think we'd better get dressed, fellas. |
| Grandpa | All right! |
| Richard | Robbie will bring the ties back. |
| Harry | Hey, leaving me? |
| Grandpa | You'll be fine. |
| Philip | Try to take it easy. It'll all be over in two hours. |
| Harry | Over? |
| Grandpa | The wedding ceremony will be over. You'll be husband and wife. |
| Harry | I guess you're right. Two hours from now.Two hours from now. |
