Look at the way you look!
What is that contraption you've got there?
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.675
A pin I borrowed from your aunts.
You know, "Something borrowed--"
00:00:09.076 --> 00:00:12.593
I know, "Something borrowed,
something blue." Old, new.
00:00:12.068 --> 00:00:15.114
Rice and old shoes.
Carry you over the threshold.
00:00:15.002 --> 00:00:18.192
Niagara Falls. All that silly tripe.
Is this what I've come to?
00:00:18.028 --> 00:00:20.999
I can't go through with it.
I won't marry you. That's that.
00:00:21.998 --> 00:00:23.913
-Yes, Mortimer.
-What do you mean, "Yes, Mortimer"?
00:00:24.002 --> 00:00:26.395
Aren't you insulted?
Aren't you going to cry?
00:00:26.048 --> 00:00:29.358
-No, Mortimer.
-And don't "No, Mortimer" me, either!
00:00:29.048 --> 00:00:31.311
Marriage is a superstition.
00:00:31.052 --> 00:00:33.397
It's old-fashioned. It's....
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.468
O'Hara, don't be a jerk. You don't realize...
00:01:19.056 --> 00:01:22.999
...I'm turning over to you
the nicest, best beat in Brooklyn.
00:01:22.056 --> 00:01:25.358
Now look at that old church.
And them old houses.
00:01:26.998 --> 00:01:28.001
Did George Washington ever sleep here?
00:01:28.012 --> 00:01:31.749
Of course he did. This whole neighborhood
just stinks with atmosphere.
