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.
