[Everett and Penny are walking through town with their daughters in tow]

Everett:
"All's well that ends well," some poet said.

Penny:
That's right, honey.

Everett:
Don't mind telling you I'm awful pleased... My adventuring days have come to an end.

Penny:
That's good, honey.

Everett:
You were right about that ring, too. Any other wedding band wouldn't do. This here was fore-ordained. Fate was a-smilin' on me, and...

Penny:
That's not my ring.

Everett:
What?

Penny:
That's not my ring.

Everett:
Not your ring?

Penny:
That's one of Aunt Herlene's.

Everett:
But you said it was in the roll-top desk.

Penny:
I said I thought it was in the roll-top desk.

Everett:
No, you said...

Penny:
Or under the mattress. Or maybe in my chifforobe. I don't know.

Everett:
Well, I'm sorry, honey.

Penny:
But we need that ring.

Everett:
Well, that ring is at the bottom of a pretty durn big lake.

Penny:
Uh-uh.

Everett:
A 9,000-hectare lake.

Penny:
I don't care if it was 90,000. That lake was not my doing.

Everett:
Of course not, honey...

Penny:
I counted to three, honey.

Everett:
No, wait, honey. Finding one little ring in the middle of all that water is one hell of a heroic task!
