Walter: Holly, are you taking the weight?
Holly: This way.
Grace: A sharp left, darling.
Gloria: Watch it, watch it.
Walter: Sorry, sorry. Now this door's very narrow.
Walter: Well now, I don't think the occasion should go by without a few words.
Gloria: Walter.
Walter: Just a few words, Gloria. Lord, thank you for this day. And thank you for bringing us Grace, who has joined our family today and who we hope will be very happy here. And thank you also for Carl... Mark...
Holly: David.
Walter: David, David, who we've also only just met, actually, but who seems to be a very... ah... nice young man indeed.
Gloria: Amen. Alright, who would like a cup of tea?
Holly: Yeah, we'd better get going.
Grace: Thank you for that, Walter. Vicar, sir.
Walter: Oh, you're very welcome, Grace. I meant every word.
Gloria: Thank you.
