Upstairs in Marilyn and Richard's room. Marilyn and Ellen are helping Susan get dressed. Susan is wearing a wedding gown. |
Marilyn: |
[to Susan] And now for ... something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. |
Susan: |
OK. Let's see. Something borrowed. That's this dress. Borrowed from Marilyn. |
Ellen: |
Something blue. My wristband. I wore it when I married your father. [She puts it on Susan's left wrist.] |
Susan: |
Oh, Mother. I forgot you still had it. It's just so lovely. |
Ellen: |
I bought it in an antique shop when I was about eighteen years old. I saved it for my wedding day. |
Susan: |
And you saved it for me, didn't you, Mother? |
Ellen: |
Yes, honey. I did. |
Marilyn: |
Are we ever going to finish? [They all laugh and cry.] |
Ellen: |
All right. OK. Something borrowed. |
Marilyn: |
The wedding dress. And something blue. |
Susan: |
The wristband. Something old? |
Ellen: |
Something old. Right. What's old? |
Susan: |
Of course! Something old. I had planned to wear them. [She gets something from the dresser.] |
Ellen: |
Grandma's pearls! Oh, Grandpa will be so pleased that you're wearing them. I'm sure he misses Grandma on a day like this. |
Susan: |
Help me with them, Marilyn. [Marilyn puts the pearls around Susan's neck.] I've never worn them before. I've been saving them for today. |
Ellen: |
Saving them for today? Oh, you're a real Stewart! |
Marilyn: |
[She finishes helping Susan with the pearls.] Oh, there you go. Lovely! |
Ellen: |
Lovely! |
Susan: |
[She looks in the mirror.] Lovely! |
Marilyn: |
Something borrowed, something blue. Something old ... and now for something new. [She picks up the veil from the bed.] |
Susan: |
The veil. Oh, it's so beautiful, Marilyn! |
Ellen: |
You really are a fabulous designer, Marilyn. |
Marilyn: |
[She puts the veil on Susan's head and hums the "Wedding March".] Doesn't it look just right on Susan? |
Ellen: |
Perfect! |
Marilyn: |
And when you both say, "I do," Harry will lift this veil over your head and kiss the bride. |
Ellen: |
Oh, I'm so excited! |
Susan: |
When you said, "I do," Marilyn, it suddenly became real. |
Marilyn: |
That's all right, Susan. You've got the wedding-day jitters! In less than two hours, you will be Mrs. Harry Bennett. |
Ellen: |
Oh, that reminds me. If we don't get dressed, we won't be there to see Susan become Mrs. Harry Bennett. |
Susan: |
Before you leavedo I look all right? |
Ellen: |
You never looked better. |
Susan: |
Mom. [She hugs Ellen.] |
Marilyn: |
She's right. [She hugs Susan. Suddenly, Marilyn's baby starts to cry in another room.] And that's dear little Max. Got to go and feed him. |
Susan: |
What am I supposed to do? |
Marilyn: |
[She and Ellen are about to leave.] Take off the veil, kick off your shoes, and sit down. |
Ellen: |
We'll come upstairs and get you in a little while. |
Marilyn: |
Richard's going to take some wedding pictures before the ceremony. So just relax. |
Susan: |
Are you kidding? Relax? [Ellen and Marilyn leave.] |
Susan: |
[She hums the "Wedding March".] Susan Stewart ... you are about to become Susan BennettMrs. Harry Bennett. |
