:C0400 (C) TIME: 0400 Yang Richard joins them. YANG RICHARD Lovely lovely place, Edgefield! MATRE'D Thank you. I was told the bride is arriving later. YANG RICHARD Who told you that? MATRE'D The brother of the bride. Jack Brodey, I believe his name is. YANG RICHARD It's supposed to be a surprise. I hope you're keeping it to yourselves. Don't want to ruin the party. The delivering of the bride is the most important part of the ritual. MATRE'D I just wanted to make sure what the procedure is going to be. YANG RICHARD The bride gets delivered and off we go, into marriage and Eden! MATRE'D Whatever, long as I'm informed. YANG RICHARD I'm not sure how my future brother-in-law found out -- he's not in the ceremony. MATRE'D I can't tell you. YANG RICHARD Well, no harm done, I suppose. Nothing to do now but wait for the big surprise entrance, right? Meanwhile, I best watch my p's and q's at the bar. Wouldn't want to drink so much I change my mind! Right? MATRE'D No, we certainly wouldn't want that. YANG RICHARD I guess I'm a little nervous. My first marriage. Almost tied the knot in my previous life, but my fiancee ran off with my fraternity brother. WAITPERSON Your previous life? YANG RICHARD Before yanghood, I mean. Before the primitive balance of all things was revealed to me by the High Priestess Dwallah. WAITPERSON If you don't need me, captain, I have chores to do . . . MATRE'D On your way, then . . . Waitperson gets out of there. /ex8/ TIME CODE: 05:00 ?"Follow Waitperson" ?"Stay here" :"Follow Waitperson" Follow Waitperson :"Stay here" Stay here
