no - you stop it! vernon here's got a job. vernon's got prospects. he's bona fide! what're you?
i can and i am and i will - tomorrow! i gotta think about the little wharvey gals! they look to me for answers! vernon can s'port 'em and buy 'em lessons on the clarinet! the only good thing you ever did for the gals was get his by that train!
he's not my husband. just a drifter, i guess.  just some no-account drifter.
mcgill. no, the marriage'll take place as planned.
i ain't worn it since our divorce came through. it must still be in the rolltop in the old cabin. never thought i'd need it; vernon bought one encrusted with jewels.
we ain't gettin' married with his ring! you said you'd changed!
ain't gonna be no weddin'.
no weddin'.

that's good, honey.
that's not my ring.
that's not my ring.

i said i thought it was in the rolltop desk.
or, it might a been under the mattress.
or in my chiffonier. i don't know.
