This is an excerpt from the Wedding Scene in College Play.
Mrs Soames (an old woman who pretty much sounds like she's completely on drugs): ... doesn't she make a lovely bride!
George (the groom, in reply to the minister): I do.
I find the above insanely amusing, and have to try hard to suppress my giggles throughout it. I suppose if it gets too bad I can stuff my face into my fake bouquet and pretend to be overcome with emotion.
What I do not find quite as amusing is the following.
Mr Booth: We'll work on the kissing and so on later -waves hand dismissively-
(My co-actor and I look at each other in horror; we're doing Our Town by Thornton Wilder and he is George Gibbs and I Emily Webb, so we are... marrying each other in Act 2. There are a good number of really soppy lines that just call for High School Musical songs to be playing in the background, we have to 'fall into each other's arms', and 'run joyously up the aisle' of the Performing Arts Centre)
Me: Mr Booth... you don't really mean it, do you? We don't have to do the kiss, right...?
Mr Booth (with surprise): Why, of course you do!
IT IS ENTIRELY TOO LATE TO PLAY APRIL FOOL'S JOKES, MR BOOTH. I am going to get lynched by my co-actor's bloody harem (not kidding on that one)! alskdfjalksdjflkjfs.
