"But I don't want you to do anything you're uncomfortable with." " I consulted my Bible and found verses supporting what you wanna do and a lot of verses against it." "[WIND WHISTLING]" "What does that one say, Ned?" "It says a man should make restitution if he eats his neighbor's grain." "And that's good enough for me." "[BOTH MOANING]" "Whoa." "Wow." "That made me completely forget about Bob Balaban." "[CHUCKLES]" " That's what Maude used to say." " A girl could get used to that." "Well, and you will right after the wedding."
