It Happened One Night Scene 38 Summary

  • Wedding day: King Westley lands on the lawn in his autogyro. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.
  • Walking her down the aisle, Andrews tells Ellie that she's "a sucker to go through with" the ceremony. He tells her that Peter only asked for $39.60, and he offers to buy off King Westley if Ellie will agree to "make [her] old man happy." But Ellie remains silent.
  • A minister asks if anyone has any objections to the marriage; then he asks King if he takes Ellie for his wife.
  • King says, "I do."
  • Then the minister asks Ellie if she takes King for her husband, but rather than reply, Ellie runs away, to everyone's dismay.
  • Andrews smiles knowingly.
