Alistair: Now Father Lonnigan, marry Theresa and I.

Father Lonnigan: Theresa is that you?

Theresa: Yes father, it's me.

Father: No Alistair, I will not marry you.

Pilar: Thank heavens.
(Gwen smirks)

Gwen: It's a good thing because now Theresa won't be able to take Jane and Ethan from me.

Rebecca: That would be the least of our problem.

Gwen: Mother, what are you saying?

Rebecca: Well if Theresa was Mrs. Alistair Crane she'd become the new lady of the manor. And there's no way we can let that happen. I am Mrs. Julian Crane and no one will ever take my place.

Gwen: Mother do you ever think of anyone, but yourself?

Rebecca: Gwennie I always think of you. If this sham of a wedding were happen Theresa would have the power to kick us out on our asses. We'd be left with nothing and no that can never happen.

Gwen: You're right, Theresa will never take anything that belongs to me ever again.

Ethan: Thank god, Theresa isnt able to marry that monster.

Alistair: Sorry to disappoint you all, but Theresa and I will be husband and wife. marry us now.

Father Lonnigan: Forget it Alistair, I won't do it.

Alistair: Damn it you old fool, marry us this instant or else!

Father Lonnigan: Don't threaten me Alistair.

Alistair: It's not a threat, just a kind reminded of what will happen if you upset me.

Father Lonnigan: I pray for your soul Alistair.

Alistair: I don't need your prayers, just get on with the ceremony.

Father Lonnigan: You may all be seated.

Sam: I can't believe this.

Ivy: I can.

Sheridan: What could my father have said to Father Lonnigan to get him to perform the ceremony.

Chris: What kind of man would want to marry a woman young enough to his granddaughter?

Sheridan: You don't know my father and trust me you don't want to know him.

Pilar: This is an unholy inbomintation!

Martin: You can say that again.

Katherine: God help you Theresa, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into.

Gwen: No, this can't be happening.

Rebecca: Ugh, I need a drink.
(Rebecca grabs a champane glass)

Gwen: Get me one too, I never need a drink so badly.
(Rebecca hands a glass of champane to Gwen)

Ethan: My god, how did it come to this?
