They got into the groom’s car. The camera picked up the audio perfectly.

— So? — one of the men sneered. — Did you bring the money?

The groom swallowed nervously:

— Almost… I’ve collected most of it. I’ll cover the rest after the wedding.

— Time? — The man in the back seat leaned forward. — You’ve owed us for eight months.

The groom suddenly raised his voice:

— I told you! After the wedding everything will change. Her parents have a good income, a nice business, a house, a country house. The main thing is to get the wedding done — then the money will come.

He continued, unaware that anyone was listening:

— I asked almost everyone to pitch in for the celebration. It’s going to be a nice sum: from friends, coworkers, parents. And if my parents add something — perfect.
