Jerry is engaged — to Osgood, a millionaire — and is already planning the payoff. "I'll tell him the truth when the time comes," he says, expecting a quick annulment and monthly alimony. Joe, horrified, counters with "There are laws, conventions," but Jerry's answer is that this may be his last chance to marry a millionaire.
Back in their room, Jerry announces he is engaged to Osgood and planning a June wedding. Joe points out that Jerry is a man, which Jerry brushes aside. Jerry's plan: tell the truth after the ceremony, get a quick annulment, collect a settlement and monthly alimony. Joe begs him to drop it and repeats, "You're a boy," until Sugar arrives to chat.

If we could only find somebody for you.The comedy sits on a straight-faced absurdity: Jerry is a man in a dress calmly discussing a wedding, a honeymoon, and alimony as if they were logistics. Joe keeps appealing to reality — "But you're not a girl. You're a guy" — while Jerry treats marriage as arithmetic: quick annulment, a nice settlement, alimony checks every month. What Joe calls "laws, conventions" is his plea to protect his friend, but Jerry hears only the prize: "this may be my last chance to marry a millionaire." The scene's real subject is not romance but security, spoken aloud in a single word: "Security." Jerry's insistence on the role is played for laughs, yet it carries the film's running joke about what people will pretend to be for money and comfort.
There are laws, conventions. It's just not being done.Joe's argument against the wedding: society has rules, and a man marrying a man is simply not something people do. It is about tradition, not a specific legal threat.
Shh! Joe, this may be my last chance to marry a millionaire.Jerry's reason for going through with it: he sees the rich Osgood as a chance he cannot afford to pass up.
I'm going to see him again tonight and every night.Jerry's giddy vow about the new romance, said while still keeping his real identity from Osgood.
But... But you're not a girl. You're a guy.Joe's blunt reminder of the fact Jerry keeps ignoring — or choosing to ignore — as he plans the wedding.
Then we get a quick annulment, he makes a nice settlement on me, and I keep gettin' those alimony checks every month.Jerry spells out the business plan: a short marriage, a quick annulment, a payoff, and steady alimony afterward.
For security and money. Jerry jokes that a guy marrying a guy makes no sense, but when Joe asks why, his one-word answer is "Security." He also calls it his last chance to marry a millionaire.
He says he will tell Osgood the truth right after the ceremony, get a quick annulment, take a settlement, and keep collecting alimony checks every month.
Not exactly. "There are laws, conventions" is Joe's way of saying society has rules and a man marrying a man is simply not done — tradition more than a specific statute.
Yes. When Jerry says he will give Osgood's diamond bracelet back, Joe suddenly says not to be hasty and asks whether they really want to hurt Osgood's feelings — the diamonds change his tune.
