John E. Stevens : [Charlie and Mary are hugging] What's the meaning of this?
Charlie Hall : I'll tell you what's the meaning of this Mr. Stevens. This young lady has just consented to be my wife.
John E. Stevens : What?
Charlie Hall : Yes, sir, and I want to give you her notice right now.
John E. Stevens : Why, she can't do that. She's the only one who knows my filing system. It'll take me months to break in another girl.
Charlie Hall : [shaking his head] I'm sorry, Mr. Stevens, but no wife of mine is going to work.
Mary Jones : Aren't you going to congratulate us?
John E. Stevens : Aww, sure.
