I feel I'm in a real family now. Not like yours, but similar to one.
Suzy I always wished I was an orphan. Most of my favorite characters are. I think your lives are more special.
I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about.
Suzy I love you, too.
Why do you always use binoculars?
Suzy It helps me see things closer. Even if they're not very far away. I pretend it's my magic power.
That sounds like poetry. Poems don't always have to rhyme, you know. They're just supposed to be creative.
Poor Suzy. Why is everything so hard for you?
Suzy We're in love. We just want to be together. What's wrong with that?
We women are more emotional...
Suzy I hate you.
Don't say "hate".
Suzy Why not? I mean it.
You think you mean it, in this moment. You're trying to hurt me.
Suzy Exactly.
Cousin Ben Your badge in seamanship?
Yes, sir.
Cousin Ben Good. There's a cold water crabber moored off Broken Rock. The skipper owes me an IOU. We'll see if he can take you on as a claw cracker. It won't be an easy life, but it's better than shock therapy.
Thank you, sir. By the way, where's the chapel tent?
Cousin Ben Back there, but the padre's home with the mumps. Why do you ask?
I want to bring my wife.
Suzy But we're not married yet.
Cousin Ben You his girl?
Suzy Yeah.
Cousin Ben Technically, I'm a civil law scrivener. I'm authorized to declare births, deaths, and marriages. You're kind of young. You got a license?
No.
Cousin Ben I can't offer you a legally binding union. It won't hold up in the state, the county, or frankly, any courtroom in the world, due to your age, lack of a license, and failure to get parental consent. But the ritual does carry a very important moral weight within yourselves. You can't enter into the contract lightly. Look into my eyes. Do you love each other?
Suzy Yes, we do.
Cousin Ben Think about what I'm saying. Are you sure you're ready for this?
Suzy Yes, we are.
Cousin Ben They're not listening to me. Let me rephrase it.
Suzy We're in a hurry.
Cousin Ben Are you chewing gum? Spit out the gum, sister. In fact, everybody.
Cousin Ben I don't like the snappy attitude. This is the most important decision you've made in your lives. Now go over by the trampoline and talk it through before you give me another quick answer...
It's possible I may wet the bed by the way. Later, I mean.
Suzy Okay.
I wish I didn't have to mention it but just in case. I don't want to make you be offended.
Suzy Of course, I won't.
Wait, these are all library books. In my school, you're only allowed to check out one at a time. Some of these are going to be overdue. Do you steal? Why? You're not poor.
Suzy I might turn some of them back in one day. I haven't decided yet. I know it's bad. I think I just took them to have a secret to keep.
