Tonight's episode, Target for a Wedding.

What do you want?

Hey, put that thing down, Tully.

Before you shoot one of us. It's me,
Blue Simpson.

Don't call me Blue.

You know I'm blind as a bat.

You should have made a noise.

Let a fella know somebody's there.

Never talk with your mouth full. That's
what my mom always said.

Thought you went off to Los Angeles to
make a big noise in the music business.

Didn't they like your style?

And when your money runs out, style
don't count for much.

What about you, Tully? How's the rock
business been treating you, huh?

Oh, same old stuff. Lots of topaz, low
grade.

Some pretty good Morganites, though.

Look, son.

I'm sorry things haven't gone well with
you, but if you trekked all the way back

here to work for me, it's gonna have to
be another time.

My little niece Lori's getting married
on Sunday.

I gotta pack it in for now.

Hey, old man, this sweaty mind isn't
exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah.

Well, now, lend a hand loading some of
my gear, and I'll give you a lift to the

town.

Hey, how about the gold?

Been piling up much of that lately?

Gold?

What are you talking about?

Been no gold found in these parts for
more than 30 years.

Hey, uh, hey, you remember this?

I keep this for good luck. Piece of that
vein we hit.

Remember I got all excited and he just
laughed and said it was iron pirate.

Fool's gold.

Well, that's what it is, all right.

Well, Like I said, I gotta get going.

Won't be needing any of this junk for
now.

You know the thing about beggars and
fools?

You know, the good Lord looks after
them.

And there I was, trying to sell this
piece of iron pyrite for a dollar or

And guess what?

Man told me that it was the real thing.

Real gold.

He must have been pulling your leg.

Now look.

If you're broke and you need a little
money to get you by.

Oh, man.

I know this glass ain't doing you much
good.

This ain't junk.

If I remember right, you kept all your
best stones in here.

Turned out the fool was almost me.

All right.

You're a smart fella.

You found me out.

So there's about 60 ounces of gold dust
there.

You keep it.

Fair enough?

Well, thanks, Toby.

I mean, I guess that'll save me the
trouble of having to dig out enough to

for this little claim of mine here, huh?

Your what?

Look, I don't want your stuff found on
my property now loaded. Oh, son, before

you do anything... Do it! ...you're
going to be sorry for. Do it! Do it!

Load it up.

I know what you're figuring.

But it's not going to do you any good.

You just can't go into town and buy this
property. It's not for sale.

Don't try to snow me.

I mean, this is public land.

And you know who told me that. You did.

I tell that to everybody.

Keeps them out of my business.

But I paid hard cash for this place
years ago.

And if anything happens to me...

It all goes to Laurie.

Now, look, Blue.

I promise you, I'll keep quiet about
this. If you just shut up.

Now, you're saying that Laurie's gonna
inherit this place after you're gone.

She doesn't know it yet.

But that's the way it is, and this will
I had the lawyer draw up.

So you see, what you already got out of
me is all you can get.

Laurie, huh?

Boy, that, uh... That sure is gonna make
whoever marries her a very rich man.

She's marrying Lester Devereaux.
Everybody knows that.

Yes.

But still, you know, a lady has the
right to change her mind.

What are you thinking?

You just finished loading.

Go on.

Come on, load it up.

There, Lester, that's a good place for
us.

If it's going to rain on Sunday, I don't
see how this little old bird's going to

stop. It's not just a bird, it's a
Cheyenne rain god, isn't it?

Whatever. Well, it's not like I'm
superstitious about it raining on our

day, but every little thing helps.

Not three tons.

There.

Lester, it's Barnaby!

Barnaby!

You get prettier every time I see you. I
thought you and Betty and Jed and I

weren't coming down till Sunday.

Well, I heard about the trout biting, so
I figured I'd sneak in a couple extra

days of fishing.

Just a lucky young man.

Oh, I'm sorry. I've told Lester so much
about you. I thought you'd already met.

Congratulations, Lester. Mr. Jones, I
can't tell you how happy you've made

coming down to give the bride away.
Well, I guess that's what godfathers are

for.

Birthdays and weddings.

I just wish Frank were still alive so
that... He could give the bride away,

it would have been the happiest moment
of your father's life, as it will be of

mine.

Come on in. Aunt Grace will just die
when she sees you. I'll get that. Okay,

thank you.

What's that about?

Uncle Tully. Something happen to Tully?

We don't know. He was due back at the
beginning of the week, and when he

show up yesterday, Aunt Grace asked
Sheriff Hamlin to look into it.

I know I might be making a mountain out
of a molehill, Sheriff, but Tully's

pretty reliable about when he's supposed
to come home.

It's just not like him to... Barnaby!

Pray for a handsome devil he walks right
in the door.

Grace, you're looking younger every day.
How do you do it? I lie a lot about my

age. Good to see you, Barnaby. Oscar,
you going to empty out our trout stream

again this trip?

Well, I was kind of hoping that Tully
would help me catch my share.

What's this about him being missing?

Well, the way Tully gets around missing
may be a bit of an exaggeration. He's

never been this late before, Sheriff.

I take it you've got men out looking for
him. We still are.

Thing is, Tully's got at least 12, 15
mine claims scattered around those

Didn't he tell you which claim he was
working?

Never does.

You know how he's always keeping
everything a secret, like he's afraid

had robbed those dumb rocks from him.

I'm sure Tully will be walking through
that door any time now.

I'll keep in touch.

Excuse me.

I don't know what to think, Barnaby.

I'm worried something awful about Tully.
Well, now, Grace, we got enough

problems to go around. You don't have to
buy any more.

I think everything's being done that can
be done.

Gonna get me a place on the winning
side.

Cause there's a whole lot of comfort and
joy on the winning side.

Losing is a bummer.

Ain't nobody yet denied.

That it's a whole lot better and nicer
and warmer. And that's where I'm gonna

on the winning side.

Lou? Oh, golly, look at you.

I don't believe my eyes.

You like it?

You're beautiful.

And look at them wheels.

Yep. What happened? You left town with
holes in your jeans a month ago.

Oh, yes, and I am back with lightning in
my hands.

Oh, look at that.

You did it. You got that job singing on
TV.

Well, not TV yet, but I did school with
a big L .A. record company.

This is just a small part of the advance
I got for signing a contract to cut an

album. Golly, if I don't faint.

So what are you doing back here?

How come you're not living it up like
all the movie stars?

Well, Laurie, I learned something real
quick about living it up.

This isn't that important.

Oh, you could have fooled me.

Just things, that's all, just things.

Pickup, clothes, nothing.

Believe me.

I mean, but there I was, sitting on the
edge of this king -size bed in this

suite of rooms I rent in Beverly Hills,
and thinking about how rich and famous I

was going to be, and something happened
to me.

And a chill came over me, telling me how
lonely I am.

Lou Simpson lonely?

Lord.

Look, I've come to realize that any girl
isn't good enough anymore.

Does that give you any idea why I've
come back to Culverton?

No. I don't believe it does.

Lori, the girl I'm looking for is the
kind of girl that sat behind me in

Geography 2.

The one that always wore that pink
ribbon in her hair.

Pretty little girl that always caught my
eye.

Every time I turned around, hoping to
warm myself in her smile.

Patricia McGarrity. She used to sit
behind you.

No.

When that dog sat on my left on the
window side.

You. You sat behind me.

Oh, my God.

Laurie?

What happened to your aunt? I can't find
her.

Aunt Grace?

She's probably in the back cutting
flowers.

Oh, this is Barnaby Jones, and this
is... Oh, Blue Simpson, Mr. Jones.

You all right, Laurie? You're not
running a fever or anything?

Oh, no, I just got a little excited
about what... Blue's been telling me he

got a singing contract with a recording
studio out in L .A.

Congratulations.

Tell your aunt that I've gone down to
see the sheriff. I'll be back soon.

Oh, is it about Uncle Tully? Have they
found him? Well, I don't know. It was a

deputy that called me. He didn't say
what the sheriff had on his mind. Nice

see you, Blue.

Same.

Why'd you ask about your uncle?

Is there something wrong?

Yeah, he's five days overdue from a
prospecting trip.

No kidding?

Yeah. Well, what's his interest?

Probably just helping out.

Barnaby does that kind of thing as a
line of work. He's a private

A detective, huh?

Yeah, a pretty important one down in L
.A.

It was more than half an hour after the
deputies found the camper.

We came across Tully's body down there.

They checked the gas tank?

Bone dry.

Doesn't seem right, Oscar.

Tully knew this terrain like the back of
his hand.

Why would he come this way, looking for
gas, toward the mountains?

Well, these glasses were found on the
ground outside the trailer, all broken

You don't tell him without his glasses.

You can still see enough to tell at
their mountain.

Maybe he became sick or something.

By the time they got here, well, then he
stumbled and fell down the gully, and

that's all she wrote.

No blood to speak of.

It isn't sitting well with me either,
Barnaby.

Tully didn't have an enemy in the world.

Nothing seemed disturbed.

It wasn't robbery.

What other motive could somebody have to
do him in?

That's what we have to find out.

Lester, I swear you're the only boy I
know who could eat with two mouths.

Don't you have any respect for the dead?

Well, sure, but we gotta eat.

I'll get it.

Lester's right, child.

Sorrow will thin your bones.

You gotta keep up your strength.

I'll never believe what just walked in
the door.

Glory be.

Blue Simpsons come back as an angel.

Ma 'am, Laurie, I hope you don't mind me
intruding on your grief, which is truly

felt by all of us folks here in
Culverton who knew and loved Tully

Oh, poor Tully.

Oh, there, there, now.

Now, you remember.

The good Lord is always standing over
those with broken hearts.

That's right, Laurie.

Those are mighty nice words, Blue.

Well, old Tully leaving us is bad
enough.

But I guess it can't be helped, though,
having to postpone the wedding.

There, you see?

That's what everybody's thinking. We
just can't go ahead with it. Now,

thought we decided.

You and Lester decided.

Decided what?

Oh, wait a minute. Now, you're not
thinking about going ahead with the

at a time like this, are you?

Well, with all the relatives on both
sides already coming and all the food

stuff already paid for.

There it is.

That's all you're worried about, the
money.

Oh, honey.

Now, come on, Lori. Come on.

Why don't you go drown in that pretty
little face and tears?

That didn't mean what he said.

Exactly.

Betty, you say that she told you the
wedding is still on for this Sunday?

Oh, that's what Grace said when I called
the house looking for you.

It was really a shock hearing about
Tully.

Barnaby, what happened?

I'll fill you in when you get here.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Barnaby? Those tiny particles we found
matted in Tully's hair. Take a look.

I think we found the motive.

Well, you're the forensic expert.

What am I looking at?

Gold dust.

There hasn't been any gold found in this
entire area for... I can't remember how

long. Take a look at this one.

Looks just the same.

We found it under Tully's fingernails.

Well, I'll be a sinner again.

He was killed for gold?

Every now and then, Tully would spin me
a yarn about looking for a new El Dorado

up there in his mountains.

I thought it was just a pipe dream.

Can you get me a list of the claims
Tully bought in that area?

Sure.

I'd like to see what a real gold mine
looks like myself.

What's the matter?

Well, look at you. You'll get my dress
off full of grease.

Oh, yeah.

Did you get the blood test?

Yes.

Let's try... What?

What is it?

Oh, nothing.

I'm just a little tired, that's all.

Maury, it's not just Uncle Talia's.

Ever since Blue got back into town,
something's been eating at you.

Oh, for Pete's sake, you're not jealous,
are you?

You know what I mean?

I've always been jealous.

But you never got uptight about it
before.

Oh, well, if it isn't that happy bride
and groom -to -be.

Tell me, Blue, why is it you're always
popping up all of a sudden?

Lester.

Well, as a matter of fact, I was just on
my way over to see if I can trade in

this old heap.

And I spotted you two lovebirds.

Do you want something?

Yeah. Yeah, why don't you fill it up?

Might as well throw my business here
away.

See that car over there?

See that car? That is the one I'm going
to buy.

Lori, if I had more time, I might do
this differently.

Being that I only have one day to
convince you that you are doing the

thing.

I'm going to say it straight out.

Lori, I love you.

Blue, you mustn't.

It's not fair.

It's just not fair you coming back at a
time like this.

Saying those things to me.

I'm only saying what you want to hear.

I know you love me, too.

I mean, uh...

What are we going to do about that?

The windows, Lester.

Make sure they're nice and clean.

All my relatives are coming from
everywhere.

That's what Lester said.

And all the food and the bridesmaids'
outfits.

It's all been paid for.

He said that, too.

Except for the bridesmaids.

I also said, what are we going to do
about it, huh?

If I was to do what you've been thinking
about, I'll blew the

embarrassment of it off.

Lori, remember that place I told you
about? I've got in Beverly Hills.

I mean, it's like a palace.

When I get my princess there, I'm going
to lock us in.

And I'm going to smother away all those
feelings of guilt that you've got.

My kisses.

Come with me, Laurie, huh?

I don't want to listen anymore.

Where's Laurie off to?

You know how fidgety girls are when
they're getting married.

You finished yet?

No, just the windows.

Hey, by the way, you know all this talk
about Tully's death?

Maybe it'd be more than an accident.

You know this Jones fellow, you find
anything to back it up?

Your guess is as good as mine.

He and the sheriff took off for the
mountains this morning to check

out. Mountains?

What do they expect to find up there?

A gold mine.

No kidding.

Going up there to look for a gold mine.

Heck, if it was that easy, we'd all be
doing it.

Yeah.

Hey, you know, my right headlight's been
giving me a lot of trouble. Why don't

you check it out to see if there's a
short or something, huh?

Why do

you seem all right to me?

You're a good man, Lester.

Charge it.

Yeah, let's see.

Claim 412 Cougar Peak, Area B.

That makes five sites so far today.

Still have eight to go.

This claim looks like it's been worked
with in the last week.

This is it, all right.

Look here.

There's a whole pile of this in there.

It's quartz rock, laced with gold.

So is that one.

I just scraped this off of it.

It'll probably turn out to be the blood
that should have been on the rock where

they found Tully.

Yes, if I was the killer, I'd move the
body, too, to keep a strike like this

quiet.

Tire gauge.

What would Tully be doing with a tire
gauge?

Well, it could have fallen out of the
killer's pocket.

Yeah, that's possible.

Barnaby, you know, every now and then,
when Tully's game leg was

hurting real bad, he'd hire on some
fella from town to come out and give him

hand at digging gemstone.

And you're saying that one of these
fellas also had a job in a gas station?

afraid so.

And you'll never guess who.

This is a partial print lifted from the
gauge found at Tully's Cougar Peak

Plain. Where we believe Tully was
murdered.

And this is a print taken of your right
index finger.

Boy, you guys must sure be good if you
can tell the difference.

There is no difference, Lester.

They match.

Looks like an open and shut case.

You knew about the gold. Snuck up there.
What?

Today got some for yourself?

Only Tully caught you.

So you hit him with a rock.

Then after taking whatever gold he'd
already mined, You moved the body so

would know where it happened.

Is that about the gist of it?

No. No, that's not what happened.

All right, son.

And you tell it in your own words.

The last time Tully went off prospecting
was three months ago.

And it's true, I hired on with him.

But I only saw Morganites and Topaz.

And I didn't sneak back to kill him.

The fact is, I didn't know about the
Cougar Peak climb until just now.

I guess we'll have to leave it to a
judge and jury to sort it out.

I just can't understand a girl who's
less interested in how pretty she's

to look tomorrow.

You're making it too tight.

I know what's bothering you, child.

It's blue, isn't it? He's the fly in the
ointment.

I've told her he's just being nice.

Ow!

That's just God's way of punishing you
for wanting to have your cake and eat

Well, how are you this fine day, Aunt
Grace?

First, I'm not your aunt. And second...
Laurie is much too busy to... Oh, boy,

isn't she the most beautiful girl in the
world?

Oh,

it's like I said, Laurie.

You're a princess.

You should live in a faraway palace.

Happily ever after.

What's that?

Oh, this is supposed to be a wedding
present.

It's a punch bowl.

I want you to have it anyway.

I don't know what you're implying, Blue,
but you better forget it because I am

getting married tomorrow.

Yeah, well, I also brought some bad news
that I heard in town.

It's about Lester.

He's been in an accident.

Lester? I've got to go to him.

What hospital's he in?

It's not a hospital.

It's a jail.

Lester's in jail?

That's right.

For the murder of your Uncle Tully.

Our Lester?

My Lester?

If you don't believe me, you call the
sheriff.

It seems they got some sort of proof
that he went up to Cougar Peak and did

Tully in.

Tully?

That's right. They say it was something
to do with that gold he was supposed to

discover.

Hello.

Have you or Lester Devereaux locked up
there for something?

Oh, my Lord.

Oh, no.

pick up you got here thank you gotta
keep it clean though that alkali dust

eat the paint off in a hurry i'll do
that

Gracie, you all right?

I felt a little better that time the
dentist struck a nerve.

I don't know what's bothering you, but
I'm afraid things are going to get a lot

worse.

I've got bad news about Lester. You mean
about him going up to Cougar Peak and

killing Uncle Tully?

Does Laurie know?

Yes, she's in her room crying her eyes
out.

I'd better go to her.

Grace, how did you know it was Cougar
Peak?

Well, Blue was here. He said he heard
all about it in town.

Helen. Oscar.

I thought we'd agreed to keep the
location of the mine quiet.

until Tully's lawyer could get some
people up there to guard it. Right,

I have kept it quiet.

You didn't tell anybody it was Cougar
Peak?

Only my deputies.

Of course, they might have let it out.

What's the matter?

Are you on to something?

I'm not sure. I'll get back to you.

Operator, I'd like to make a collect
call to area code 213.

Betty? Yeah?

Oh, you're not going to believe this.
The tailor fouled up again.

Oh, no. Yeah, what can I tell you? He
ripped the pillar and said it would take

little longer to fix.

Barnaby Jones, investigations may help
you.

Oh, yes, I've read her. I'll accept the
charges.

You know, if Barnaby has to give away
the bride and his BBB, he is going to

us.

Ah, yes, Barnaby, hi.

Betty, I'm glad I caught you before you
left.

Well, we were on our way. There was just
a bit of a delay with your suit.

Well, that doesn't matter. The way
things stand now, the wedding is off.

What happened?

The bridegroom was arrested for Tully's
murder.

You've got to be kidding.

Barnaby, well, I've only met Lester
once, but I can hardly believe that he's

capable of murder.

Same here, but I may have come up with
something which points to another

suspect. Who is that, Barnaby? Blue
Simpson. He's a local fellow who's

to be making a big noise down in Los
Angeles as a country -western singer.

I've got to check him out for me the
other day. All right, Barnaby, I will.

Simpson.

Get back to me as quickly as you can. Uh
-huh.

Barnaby, she's locked herself in the
room. She won't talk to me.

Grace, everything's going to be all
right, believe me. You have the name of

lawyer that's handling Kelly's estate?

That would be Harold Foster in the
Greystone building on Main Street.

I'll see you later.

Please, Laurie.

Three hours of this is enough.

Open the door.

You are in there, aren't you?

Yes, and I'm going to stay here till I
die.

Oh, for heaven's sake. I'll give you ten
more minutes, and then I'm breaking

down the door.

Open the window.

I won't use the front way, but I think
your Aunt Grace might have punched me

before letting me in.

Why would she do that?

Because I think she knows about us.

Us?

There's nothing to know about us.

Well, sure there is.

I mean, you told her just the way you
told me when you were sitting behind me

school.

With your eyes.

Look.

Maybe I did have a crush on you once.

Once?

Once.

Now look what you did to those pretty
eyes.

Lester isn't worth one of them tears.

Why did he do it?

Well, you believe in fate, don't you?

Fate is what saved you from that killer.

Brought us together.

Please, don't do that.

I can't think when you do that.

Lori. Lori, look, I don't have time to
court you proper.

I'm in the record company, Cole, and
they want me back in L .A. by Monday.

Come with me.

Oh, Lou.

I want to take you back to L .A. with
me.

He's my wife.

Wife?

Say yes.

Even if I wanted to?

Say yes.

And I'm not saying I want to.

Yes.

I couldn't run off like that.

Well, I have to wait till Sheriff Hamlin
gets back.

What about the record companies? You
check them all?

Mm -hmm. The big ones, Barnaby. They
never heard of Blue Simpson.

I also checked with an Asian friend of
mine, Sam Dunsley, who's pretty heavy

into the country and western scene.

He not only heard of Blue, he dug up a
picture he left with him. Is Blue his

client? Wouldn't touch him with a ten
-foot pole.

Said that Blue isn't Nashville.

Weddings and bar mitzvahs, maybe, but
definitely not ready for the big time.

much for tall tales. The photograph, can
you borrow it? Already have.

It's one of those 8x10 glossies with too
much teeth.

I want you to take it over to the L .A.
Gold Exchange and show it around.

I get your drift, Barney, but do you
have any idea how many people are buying

and selling gold these days?

Yes, but not many in the form of gold
dust.

I've only got Sheriff Hamlin on the
radio.

He says he's going to be out in the
field the rest of the day, but it's all

right to talk to the prisoner.

Thank you, Deputy.

How's Laurie taking all this, Mr. Jones?

Right as well as can be expected.

Sit down, Lester.

I bet she thinks I'm the biggest monster
in the world.

Lester, I stopped by Tully's lawyer on
the way over.

Did you know that Tully recently made a
will leaving everything to Laurie?

Laurie? I figured it'd all go to Aunt
Grace.

Isn't she his next of kin? It's not
generally known outside of the immediate

family, but she wasn't a blood relative.

Grace is Laurie's aunt on her mother's
side.

I'm happy for Laurie.

But it sure makes things worse for me,
doesn't it? And it does occur to you...

That there are some who might say that
you killed Tully knowing that your bride

-to -be would inherit a gold mine?

Is that what you think, too?

No, Lester. But I am beginning to
believe that it might be the reason that

Simpson got so interested in Laurie all
of a sudden.

Blue?

Excuse me.

Mr. Jones, Grace Claver is on the phone.
She seems pretty excited about

something. Oh, dear.

Grace? Is she still here? She's in her
room packing.

Barnaby, you're her godfather. Talk to
her.

Tell her she can't run off and marry
that rhinestone cowboy.

Let me be along with her.

You want some?

No, thanks.

I love strawberries.

Especially when I'm cracking up.

Uncle Tully dead.

Lester in jail for murdering him.

And I'm off to marry the man of my
dreams.

You see?

I'm going off my rocker.

Laurie.

You couldn't mean more to me than if you
were my own true daughter.

So, you know that I would never
deliberately say anything to hurt you.

Please, try and understand, Barnaby.

You can see I'm not the prettiest girl
that ever was.

But I've got the same feelings.

And all my life I've dreamed the same
dreams as them.

Some...

Knight in shining armor.

Come and sweep me off my feet.

Carry me away.

Laurie, there's no easy way to say this,
except just to say it.

I think Blue Simpson murdered your Uncle
Tully.

Do you... Do you have proof?

No, I can't prove it.

And maybe I never will be able to prove
it, but I think that Blue wants to marry

you in order to get control of your
inheritance.

You know, underneath it all,

somehow I knew it wasn't me, Barnaby. J
.R. was on the phone.

Jedediah? Barnaby, I'm at the gold
exchange.

The second dealer I talked to recognized
Blue's picture, said he was in here

late last Wednesday.

That was the day after Tully died.

Yeah, said that he paid Blue $12 ,000
for 62 ounces of gold dust.

Good work, Jedediah.

Looks like there's going to be a wedding
after all.

So you and Betty come on up and don't
forget to bring my suit.

She's gone.

Took her bag and went out the back way.

Laurie? To a lope with Blue?

Well, it's no use. She's already driven
off.

I need a phone book.

I want the names and addresses of all
the wedding chapels in this area.

One rabbit said to the other rabbit,
here we are.

Oh, yeah.

Here we are.

Yep. Blood test.

License. Oh.

Good afternoon, folks, and how can I
serve you? As if I didn't know.

Well, we're ready to tie the knot, and
there are the papers to prove it. Good,

good, fine. It'll be a few minutes,
right after I ball and chain the couple

ahead of you.

Everybody's got to make dumb jokes about
getting married, don't they?

Lou, are you happy?

Truly happy?

Of course.

This is the happiest day of my life.

It's funny how things work out.

There I was, all worried about Uncle
Tully's sister taking over the house,

now I'm going to live in an even nicer
one with my very own true love.

Your uncle has a sister?

Yeah. She's really nice, but she wants
the house, and being as she's his

blood relative, I guess she has a right
to ask us to move.

Well, not if, uh...

Until he had his will made out, naming
you his heir.

Then you know about the will.

Well, sure.

He told me about it himself.

When did he tell you?

I don't know. It must have been a couple
months ago.

But he didn't have a will then. He
didn't make one out until Aunt Grace

him to get it done just before this last
trip up to the mountains.

Then it must have been someone else.

Oh, wait a minute.

Who's your Aunt Grace?

Oh, yeah.

That must have been it.

Well, I... I guess I better go freshen
up.

The ladies' room was that way.

Oh, that's right.

If it never was, I think there was her.

And life is just starting for you
children, yes. Oh, the best way to Vegas

Route 15.

And you can stop off at Barstow for
lunch.

Be with you in a minute, sir. Good luck,
you two. And remember, Louis P. Mosley

performs weddings with heart.

And you just keep moving, nice and easy.

Where are you taking me?

Does it really matter?

Lou!

Hey, you just stay right where you are,
or I'll kill her. Take it easy.

Just let her go, and you can drive away.

Thanks, but I think I'll get a lot
further if she comes with me.

Fine, if he killed Uncle Kelly.

Shut up!

You're gonna stay back, or she's gonna
get the same thing right here and now.

All right, at least let me calm her down
a little.

You don't want a panicky girl on your
hands.

Laurie, remember Snowball?

Remember how he used to act when he'd
get excited?

Remember?

What are you trying to pull, Jones?

Snowball, Laurie.

Remember? Hey, I'm warning you!

Stop! Hold it! Hold it, Luke!

You all right, Laurie?

Yeah. Go inside and call the sheriff.

Hey, uh... Snowball, uh... What is it?

That's a little dog I gave Laurie once a
long time ago.

Puppy had the habit of getting so
excited when he was being fed that

this little joke she used to say he
always bit the hand that fed her.

Not much of a joke, is it?

And who gives this woman to this man?

I do.

Do you, Lester, take Laurie to be your
lawfully wedded wife?

To love?

honor, and cherish for as long as you
both shall live?

I do.

And do you, Laurie, take Lester to be
your lawfully wedded husband to love,

honor, and cherish for as long as you
both shall live?

I do.

By the power vested in me, I now
pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Harvey, we got your suit in enough time.
We just got caught in traffic.

What did you get, man?

I borrowed it from the sheriff's little
brother. Oh, sorry. That's all right.

Nothing can spoil the day. Nothing.

Hey,

does this count?

You bet it counts.
