Marriage

(Author's note: if ya
can't remember every detail
of the last five minutes of
'Breakfast at Tiffany's',
then just skip this one.
You ain't old enough.)

I have found him
whom my soul
loves.
[Song of Solomon 3:4]
**************************
"Lord, do You know
some people look on
You as a Big ROMANCE?"

"Yes, My beloved."

(Silence.)

[SILENCE.]

"What about you,
My precious."

"Uh uh.
Neah."

[CHUCKLE.]

"Hey, forget about it;
I'm done with that stuff.
Anyhow, if that's true
Lord:
Where are my CHOCOLATES?"

[SMILE.]
"What have you just
eaten, My child?"

(Squint hard.)
"Two kosher hotdogs;
and a plate 'a baked BEANS?"

[LAUGH!]

"Where's my cigar
band, Lord?"

"What about it,
My precious."

"Don't Ya REMEMBER?
When Cary Grant put that
CIGAR band on Leslie Caron's
left HAND,
in 'Father Goose'?

[NOD.]

"That was the best, Lord;
the most romantic moment,
in a movie: ever."

"I understand, My child."

"They don't make 'em
like that anymore,
Lord."

"No, My child."

"Or........like,
when George Peppard
followed Audrey Hepburn
and that scruffy cat
in the rain, at the end
of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'?

[NOD.]

"There's no 'Moon River',
anymore, Lord."

"Who made the moon,
child?"

"You did, Lord.
But, YOUR moon is cold -
and lifeless: not like
the song!"

[PATIENT SMILE.]
"Who made the song,
My beloved?"

"Henri MANCINI?"

[NOD.]
"And Who created the artist,
My child?"

(Silence,
filled with wonder, and awe.)
(Look up at the air vent, again.)
"So.........eh,
where are my FLOWERS,
Lord?"

"They're all around,
My beloved."

"I don't see 'em."

"You just have to look for
them, little one."

(Silence filled with sadness.)
"I don't see em, Lord.
Maybe, You had them
delivered to the
wrong house."

[TEARS OF JOY.]
"No, My beloved.
I delivered them:
Myself."
*****************************
Go forth,
O daughters of Zion,
and behold
King Solomon.......
on the day
of his wedding,
on the day
of the gladness
of his heart.
[Song of Solomon 3:11]
