  • Ding dong.
  • Those were wedding bells.
  • Mrs. Ali sneaks into the church to see the Major right before their wedding.
  • The Major and Mrs. Ali—soon to be Mrs. Major—watch people enter the church and wonder if they're doing the right thing, getting married and staying in this tiny little village.
