Ezekiel : [proposing to Havana] Uh... w-will... w-will you um... d-do you wanna...
Wilhelm : Go ahead, Ezekial, go ahead.
Ezekiel : Do you wanna...
[hyperventilating]
Ezekiel : do you... wha... ma... do you wanna... you know what I mean! I can't breathe! I can't breathe!
Havana : [laughing] You guys have been out in the sun for too long!
Ezekiel : [still hyperventilating] Do you... marry...
[fed up, throws his hat down]
Ezekiel : Do you wanna marry me or not, you dumb pig!
Havana : [to the elders] Guys, I have to admit this is one goofy twist on the whole boy/girl thing, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater, okay? If you had told me out on the street that the Bible is the happening book that I now think it is, you could've knocked me over with a feather. But guys, I have seen the light! I have been saved. So if the only way I can stick around here and soak up more of this religion stuff is to get hitched to the little midget, then count me in, honey.
[to Zeke]
Havana : My answer is yes.
[Zeke faints]
Havana : I'll marry the little brat, but that little fainting trick has got to go!

Wilhelm : By our law, Ezekiel has the obligation to ask you to marry him. There's no need for alarm. If you simply refuse him, then that will be that.
Havana : Then what will be what?
Wilhelm : You'll have to leave.
Havana : What do you mean, I have to leave?
Wilhelm : [hands her an envelope] Here's one hundred dollars. And we'll drive you to the bus stop and take you into the city.
Havana : You can't just kick me out.
Wilhelm : Nobody wants to kick you out, but we have no choice. As an outsider, you will not be permitted to remain here. It's for the best. The Hutterite is not for you.
Havana : So I have to leave now with this hundred dollars?
Wilhelm : I'm sorry.
