 Harry: It looks wrong.

    Philip: Hmmm. It is wrong.

    Richard: Are they always that difficult to make?

    Philip: The truth is……yes. I'll try again.

    Robbie: At this rate, the wedding will take place tomorrow.

    Philip: Not to worry. OK.Here we go.

    Harry: I'm worried, Philip. What if we can't tie the tie?

    Richard: If we can't tie the tie, then there can't be a wedding.

    Robbie: You'd better not make Harry any more nervous than he is. Don't worry.We'll figure a way.

    Grandpa: How're you doing, fellas?

    Harry: Not so good, Grandpa. We can't get this bow tie tied. Nobody knows how to do it.Do you?

    Grandpa: No. I never could, either.

    Philip: Well, you have your own tuxedo. How do you tie your bow tie?

    Robbie: Yeah, Grandpa, I've seen you in it. You look great.How do you tie it?

    Grandpa: I don't.

    Richard: You don't?

    Harry: What do you mean?

    Grandpa: I never could tie one of those……things……bow ties. I have always worn a clip-on bow tie.

    Harry: A clip-on?

    Philip: Of course. Now I remember.

    Grandpa: Yes, it's so easy. All you do is clip it around under your collar.

    Richard: We all need one of those.

    Robbie: The tuxedo rental store. Do you think they're open?

    Philip: Should be. Sunday's their big day.

    Richard: I'll call and find out.

    Grandpa: Well, if they're not, I'll lend you mine, Harry. You're the only one who really needs to be wearing a tuxedo, anyway.

    Harry: Thanks, Grandpa.

    Philip: I'm the father of the bride. I'm supposed to be worried about my daughter, and here I am with the man that's marrying my daughter-worrying about him.

    Grandpa: Poor Harry. I know the feeling. Wedding-day litters.

    Robbie: Are they open?

    Richard: We're in luck. They're open. And they have lots of clip-on bow ties.

    Robbie: I'll bicycle down to the village and get them.

    Harry: You'd better hurry, Robbie.

    Grandpa: There's lots of time. A little over two hours.

    Harry: In two hours and fifteen minutes I'll be married to Susan.

    Philip: And be a true member of the Stewart family.

    Grandpa: Oh, you're a lucky guy, Harry. Susan is one of the best women you'll ever find. She's just like her grandma.

    Richard: Now, once you put the ring on Susan's finger, you are one of us, Harry. And don't ever forget it.

    Harry: Ring? Ring? Oh my! What did I do with the rings? I put them in the pocket of my sports jacket.

    Richard: No, I think you put them in your tuxedo jacket pocket. Remember?

    Harry: Right. What did I do with the rings?

    Philip: Didn't you give them to Richard? He's your best man. I remember. You gave them to Richard.

    Richard: Oh, yeah. I remember now. You handed them to me. What did I do with them?

    Harry: I hope they aren't lost.

    Grandpa: Oh, don't worry, Harry. They have to be here.

    Richard: I remember. I gave them to Robbie to hold so I wouldn't lose them.

    Harry: Oh, I forget. What time is it?

    Grandpa: It's still a little over two hours, Harry. Just relax.

    Harry: What about the rings?

    Richard: I'm sure Robbie has them.

    Harry: No, NO, Robbie doesn't have them. He gave them to me to hold on to them because he didn't want the responsibility of holding them. I put them in my tuxedo-but in the lapel pocket. That's a relief. I was really worried.

    Richard: I'll hold on to them for you. The best man always keeps the rings.

    Harry: You're right. You're right. You hold on to them so there won't be problem later.

    Philip: Well, now, I think we'd better get dressed, fellas.

    Grandpa: All right!

    Richard: Robbie will bring the ties back.

    Harry: Hey, leaving me?

    Grandpa: You'll be fine.

    Philip: Try to take it easy. It'll all be over in two hours.

    Harry: Over?

    Grandpa: The wedding ceremony will be over. You'll be husband and wife.

    Harry: I guess you're right. Two hours from now.Two hours from now.
