Reverend Spike : Fellow beings, we are here to celebrate a wedding. Not one imposed by an uptight consumer society, which kills whales, builds nuclear reactors, but a real marriage. Will you touch each other please?
[Kate and Harvey hold hands]
Reverend Spike : Beautiful. Harv, can you relate to making a heavy commitment, to share your space with Kate, respecting her identity as a free being?
Harvey Holroyd : No.
Reverend Spike : No?
Harvey Holroyd : No. I promise to love, honor, and cherish Kate Linville Holroyd in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, forsaking all others, for as long as we both shall live.
[Harvey turns to Spike]
Harvey Holroyd : You asshole!
Reverend Spike : Kate, will you tell us where you're coming from?
