Robert and Anna running from the DVX after rescuing the diplomat. They lose them by swimming from France to the shores of Italy. Filomena finds them embracing and kissing on the beach. She finds them some clothing, and takes them to the mayor of the town...
Mayor: I am the mayor here and I speak English.
Robert: Thank heaven for large favors.
Anna: Is someone getting married today?
Mayor: Everyone is getting married today.
Robert: Everyone?
Mayor: Everyone who wants to get married can do it today.
Anna: (beaming smile) Oh how lovely.
Mayor: It's a big day for our town. The bishop comes to open his house in the summer and he baptizes, he confirms, and he marries. That's why everyone in the town is all dressed up.
Robert: I see.
Anna: Except for us! (they laugh)
Robert: Uh, yeah. Listen, you wouldn't have a hotel where we could change?
Mayor: This way. This way. Enjoy your time with us. Come join us at the ceremony.
After they dress, they are led into a courtyard where about 30 couples are getting ready to say their vows. Filomena places the beautiful lace veil over Anna's head and steps aside. They stare at each other longingly as they repeat the words (in Italian- Robert didn't do too bad for an Aussie! LOL) the priest says out loud...
Robert: (very nervous yet happy) I, Robert, take thee Anna, to be my lawful wedded wife. To love, honor, and respect, until death us do part.
Anna: (all smiles and tears) I, Anna, take thee Robert, to be my lawful wedded husband. I promise to love honor and respect thee, till death us do part.
And join they do. Filomena looks on as they recite the vows. Robert kisses Anna to seal the vows they've made and they walk off happily married! As the remaining couples sing a song of celebration, Anna and Robert revel in their new status as Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scorpio. Anna jumps into his arms and they head off to celebrate -and consummate- their love. |
