I think the software that translates individual words in the dialog tab gets a bit tripped up by proper names:

Doc Rivers >> in
Josh Smith >> to make a date
Chuck Hayes >> to search

It means that two families have the same level of wealth and social prestige, so therefore a marriage between them would not be inappropriate. Traditionally you could tell how much money a family had by looking at its front door, i.e. was it a single or double door, how big was the threshold, was it guarded by stone lions and that kind of thing.
