Jim Gentry : [Mr. Fallgren and Mr. Biffle arrive at Jim's office, unaware that he has recently married Ruby] Gentlemen, I want you to meet Mrs. Gentry.
Neil Fallgren : [turning to Mrs. Gentry and looking a bit stunned] Ruby?
Jim Gentry : Ruby and I were married last Thursday in New York.
Neil Fallgren : Well, congratulations, Jim. I mean it.
Jim Gentry : I'm sure you do.
Shug Biffle : Yeah, it's not good for a man to live alone.
Neil Fallgren : I'll run it front page tonight, if you say so, Jim.
Jim Gentry : That's why I called you over.
Neil Fallgren : Any, uh, sort of statement you want to make?
Jim Gentry : You can say we're both very happy, and we're glad to be home.
Shug Biffle : And we can sure say the bride's a beauty. Let me tell you, Ru... Mrs. Gentry. You look like a million dollars.
Jim Gentry : Heh heh, I've seen a million dollars, and believe me: Ruby looks a whole lot better.
Neil Fallgren : [both men chuckle awkwardly] Well, I better hop back to my office, before they run off the papers.
Shug Biffle : Yeah, I'll run along too.
Jim Gentry : Oh, one more item: You might want to say we're going to give a party real soon. End of next week. So that all my friends can meet Mrs. Gentry.
Ruby Gentry : [graciously] You two gentlemen are invited... and your wives.
Neil Fallgren : Well, that's nice of you. Right, Shug?
Shug Biffle : [awkwardly] Very nice. Thank you very much, Mrs. Gentry, we'll sure be there.
Neil Fallgren : Couldn't keep us away.
