David:
What can I do for you? Mr. Harry Deever:
Were you married in Beacham in March 1937? David:
Yes I was. Mr. Harry Deever:
Well you know... Beacham is on the other side of the river and it was always incorporated in Brenda County, but you see Brenda County is in Idaho and so... well, you follow me, don't you? David:
[confused]
Yes. Yes. Mr. Harry Deever:
Well we in Beacham found out we had no right to be incorporated in Brenda County because from the other side of the Bass River we belong in Nevada David:
Well, well, well. Mr. Harry Deever:
Yes, Well we just found out that anybody who got married between 1936 and now with an Idaho license in Nevada... well it isn't legal. David:
What do you mean it isn't legal? Mr. Harry Deever:
Now, now I don't want you to be frightened or upset or anything, but there's been a kind of a mistake. You're not legally married. David:
[puzzled]
What's that? Mr. Harry Deever:
Oh, you really are married and everything, but there's a little technicality. It's perfectly allright you understand. Common Law and everything, but we figured in case of deaths and wills and births... you know, children. We figured it'd be better if everybody kinda got married again. Just to be on the safe side... and The Chamber of Commerce is sending me around to everybody to tell 'em. And we give you your two dollars back and you can use it to get another license. David:
[Deever hands David the $2 and he laughs]
Kind of funny isn't it? Mr. Harry Deever:
Yes
