What does jack say when the final curtain comes down in literary play The Importance of Being Earnest?

Jack Worthing (aka Ernest) doesn't actually say anything when the final curtain falls in Oscar Wilde's *The Importance of Being Earnest*. The play ends with a *stage direction* that reads:

"Curtain."

This signifies the end of the play and the conclusion of all the chaotic events and romantic entanglements. It's implied that Jack and Gwendolen, along with Algernon and Cecily, have finally achieved their happily-ever-after, but Wilde leaves the final word to the audience's imagination.
