The "morality of marriage"! What next?
Ernest
[to Theodore]
That's what I said—the morality of marriage! This woman is not on trial before you. Marriage is on trial before her, and thus far I'm bound to say you've not made out a good case for it. But simply justify her marrying me, and—I give you my word—you can perform the ceremony this very evening. No license is required in this State, you know.
[This creates a sensation.
Judge
Now, what could be fairer than that! [To Helen.] Do you agree to this?
Helen
[she nods]
We agree in everything.
