The scene opens with a flashback to the day of the wedding. It is the day after the wedding, and the bride and groom are leaving for home. The bride asks the groom if he would like her to stay behind while he goes home, but the groom says he would rather go home and be with his new wife than stay behind and be alone with the bride. He has gone to get the key to the safe, which the bride forgot to put in the safe. When the bride realizes that the groom is leaving, she asks him if she should go home with him, but he says he will wait over at the safe until he returns. She asks him what he has bought her, and he says it is lace on her chest and she does not usually wear skirts
