Shit!
We were invited to Henry Grotsky's son's wedding.
We got invited to Henry Grotsky's son's wedding?
Yeah. Why are you saying it like that?
Why am I saying it the way someone
who was just invited to the wedding...
...of the child of a guy he barely knows would say it?
We're going. Mmm-mmm.
This place will be fine without us for a weekend.
No. Not going.
Jerry, you're the president of idiots.
Bina, you're the dummy who voted me into office.
Okay, impeached. Too late. I resign.
Ha-ha!
I was first.
This could be a great thing for you, sweetie.
Look, it was at a friend's wedding
that your dad and I first got it on.
Open the door, I want to show you something.
I'm flat-out naked in here, so...
Renzo Eckberg, your manhood is nothing to be ashamed of.
Your manhood is a glory to God.
Open the door a crack, I'll fling it in.
This could be how you meet the love of your life.
Girls are always so drunk and emotional at weddings.
Maybe that's where you'll really shine.
Should I start hanging out at wakes too?
Oh, let's see how the wedding goes first.
You got a letter from someone.
I'm pretty surprised about it.
I didn't know you knew anyone in the free world.
Good boy!
Why, thank you, Ringo.
Oh, my!
Oh, Ringo!
I, Francie...
...take you, Douglas, as you are...
...to love and to cherish...
...to have and to hold...
...until death do us part.
Frances Millner, Douglas Grotsky, take hands.
You may now kiss as husband and wife.
Two miles later, we're almost there.
Hi.
Oh, my God.
Shit.
You look good, ladies. Right here.
I'll see you in there.
Hi. Hey.
You're here. That's c...
Mmm-hmm.
Why are you here?
Same as you.
Because I'm the best man at my sister's wedding.
Okay.
So it's not the same at all.
Oh, my God, just...
Give a little bit of love to grow
Have fun!
Oh, shit.
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
I wish I could be there to be your wingman, honey.
Whether you get a girl to smile
or whether she runs away, it's all good.
Gotta go, someone's here.
Hello.
I'm Francie Millner's first nanny,
Jo Flanagan.
That's Jo with a "J" and an "O" and no "E."
I'm Renzo. With an "E" and an "O" and no "J."
You have an intense look about you, Renzo.
Thank you. I'm working on that.
Hi.
Bina and Jerry Kepp, hello.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Walter.
Hello, Roger. Nice to see you.
Thank you so much for inviting me,
it really means a lot.
Thank you so much. I didn't invite you.
Francie did.
Okay. I honestly thought
they wouldn't let you travel out of state.
Well, you know.
Hello! Thank you for inviting me.
Thank you so much for coming.
I don't think we've ever been
at a reception table with a nanny before.
Have we, Jerry?
Only very good
or very bad nannies
are remembered so many years later.
Which one are you?
You guys swingers?
No, you're not. Right? No.
Renzo, pick up the phone. Renzo, pick up the phone.
Did you not request a singles' table?
Because so far, it's slim pickings.
It was on the RSVP. You put it there yourself.
Pardon me.
And how are you so sure you're not with the singles?
If there are couples at your table,
they could be what's called "swingers."
How well do you know the bride and groom, Mr. Kepp?
Hmm. I can smell the toilets from here,
that's how well we know the bride and groom.
Don't listen to him, he's not a romantic.
This is a great table.
It's a great one.
Mmm. No, it isn't. Yeah, it is.
Yes, it is. No, it isn't.
Well, we'll see. Okay.
Hello. Sorry.
Someone's sitting in that. Sorry.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Is this one okay?
Yeah. No one's...
My name is Walter.
I can tell by your accent
you must be a relation to the bride's father.
Close relation?
Yes.
Oh.
Hmm.
So what do you do, Walter?
What do I do...
For work?
- Leave it alone. - Why can't a person ask that?
Yeah, I'd like to know.
Okay, then. Okay.
She'd like to know.
So, Walter, what is it that you do?
I am a successful businessman.
Oh. Okay.
- Okay, then. - Hmm.
Mmm-hmm.
What kind of business?
Sorry, do you mind?
So, forget the married people.
Dance with the nanny.
Hollywood marriages bust up all the time because of the nanny.
And you know what, Renzo?
Even if she is a little older, so what?
There's something to be said for know-how,
experience and someone who's seen a lot of things.
You don't want somebody perfect for your first dance.
It's just too intimidating.
You okay?
No. Not okay.
I could just see you staring at somebody for a minute.
Like a real, true minute which is a long time to stare.
Tells me you got something brewing up here.
Sorry, do I know you?
Do you mind if I say something else?
I'm gonna say something else.
Nobody deserves a full minute of your attention
unless they're giving it back to you.
Oh. Smile!
Hey, just something for you to think about.
Me to you.
You're welcome.
Um, what the fu...
- Hey! - Sorry?
Don't do that. Do what?
Just say something smug and walk away.
No, it wasn't like that.
I just saw you there, and I... Yeah, well, it was like that.
Also, in order for you to know that
I'd been staring at someone for a real, true minute,
you had to be staring at me for a real, true minute.
Also, that was a test. Which I passed.
My ex-boyfriend is in there.
And I... You know, felt nothing.
I felt nothing at all.
Right. So, I misread that entirely.
Yeah. I guess you did.
Sorry, I'm... I'm having an off day.
Do you ever have that?
Kind of day where you think that the things
that come so easy to everyone else just seem so
elusive?
No.
Yeah, me neither.
Okay. Okay.
Not that you asked, but this is where I'm sitting
so if you end up in the high teens,
you know where to find me.
Shit!
Oh, shit.
Are you feeling all right?
What do you say your name is?
Megan-Ann.
Megan-Ann. Okay. I will not forget.
I should have married Leroy while I had the chance.
Leroy knew where to put his hands.
Ah, you're the killer, Nyung. Don't deny it, you shit.
It's hard to put down a good book.
Yes.
Who doesn't love to read books? I do, as a normal person.
What's your favorite book, Walter?
Probably that one.
Walter, where do you live?
Today will not suck.
Your nails are orange and your hair is orange.
And your dress is orange. I say it's too much orange.
Too much orange?
That's what I was saying, so you have to lose one of them.
I meant the dress.
Oh, my God.
Where are you from?
Hi. Hellomygod.
- Okay. Hi. - Hi!
I am Renzo.
I've achieved puberty and I'm in a rock band.
I'm Walter, I'm a successful businessman and I've also reached puberty.
Well, terrific. I'm Eloise.
So far, it's my mom on bass and me on lyrics,
but it's pretty cool. Very cool.
Uh-huh.
There's No Bad Name For a High School Rock Band.
Is what we're calling ourselves.
I'm calling it "The Band."
Eloise, what's your connection to the bride and groom?
Right, yeah, that's the sort of question you ask back here.
It's not gonna be what you want to hear.
It won't be what she wants to hear.
You're Jo Flanagan, right?
You're the nanny. Francie's nanny.
How do you know that?
And you know Henry Grotsky from the diner scene,
you're those people...
Jesus, not the Klumps.
Wow.
The Kepps.
- Bina and Jerry Kepp. - Right.
And I'm Walter, just a successful businessman
who just likes to read his favorite book.
That one.
And you're Grotsky's friend's kid?
You requested the singles' table.
That was never gonna happen.
How do you know us?
So, Francie, today's bride, is my oldest friend.
Oh... Thank you!
There's been a long discussion
about what kind of table this is
and you've just resolved it!
She is the best friend of the bride.
Well, oldest.
How close to the toilet do you feel now, Mr. Kepp?
The same. The distance is the same.
You know what? It's the same wedding.
It's the same celebration no matter what table you're at.
I'm a fan of detective fiction, Eloise.
Big, big fan.
So when I find that something doesn't add up, I investigate.
Can't help being a detective, it's just who I am.
And you want to know what rank on the force my husband has attained?
He manages a diner in Columbus, Ohio. That rank.
Fill us in anyway, would you,
on how exactly the bride's best friend
ended up back here with the Klumps.
Oldest friend. Leave it alone.
No, that's fine. It's not, it's...
It's no mystery, it's not a big deal.
I got dumped by Francie's brother,
Teddy Millner, the best man.
That tall drink of shit over there at table one
you can barely see. God, look at him.
That guy is exactly who you think he'd be.
Yeah, just a selfish jerk.
Which I somehow didn't see until two months ago
when he dumped me out of the blue. Then I saw.
So I dropped out as maid of honor
because it was awkward and I RSVP'd "No."
Well, "Yes" and then "No." And then I thought,
this is about Francie, it's her day,
and I won't let her brother scare me away from that.
I'm glad I came. I'm fine.
I feel nothing, actually. I'm, like...
I feel liberated. I feel free.
God. You have no idea what that feels like.
Someday.
I mean, I am free. I do, I mean,
I'm a free man, I do know how it feels.
Right. Great.
Well, then, you know. It feels great.
I don't have to think about him anymore.
Talk to him, or...
Excuse me.
All right. Our newlyweds will be joining us
for their first dance soon.
Okay, what's going on, man?
Meanwhile, enjoy the open bar.
Come on, what does that mean?
What does that mean?
It means you leave me a voicemail
telling me to tell Francie not to open your RSVP card.
Then you leave me a voicemail telling me that you're coming
and then another one saying "Disregard the last one."
So that's what I mean, what are you doing here?
You listened to all those voicemails?
Hey, guys, right here.
Come on, El, please don't go all crazy.
"All crazy"? Now what does that mean?
It means you get mad.
You do something big and you can't take it back
and it's too late, and then...
Crazy. I do that?
I do that?
I'm not your mom, so, I don't do that.
I think it's funny, mostly.
But not today.
Nikki will murder me... All right, all right.
Nikki can calm down. What is the deal with Nikki?
Really?
Wow. "What's the deal with Nikki?" That's funny.
Why would you care about Nikki if you're just here for my sister?
You're right.
Yeah. You're right.
It's none of my business if you cheated on me with her.
What? Why should it even bother me?
Come on! I didn't cheat on you with her.
It started after we broke up
and you dropped out as maid of honor.
How does a guy who...
After two years, you break up with me over text?
"Good luck with your future endeavors"?
Were you firing me?
What the f...
You're an asshole.
Oh, my God, you're such an asshole.
You're a ridiculous asshole.
Why don't you just go home?
Yeah? Yeah.
Before you ruin all this for Francie.
I don't have a ferry ticket till tomorrow, anyway.
Swim.
Think she'll be back?
I vote yes.
Hey! Let's chat,
you and me.
No, I'd like my elbow back, Nicole.
Fine.
Just don't make a scene.
Why does everyone keep saying I do that?
Hey, Jerry Kepp. Uh-huh.
Just a hypothetical.
If someone offered you 20 bucks to go up
to our room and read your book in the tub, would you?
Say yes.
No. You know how I feel about a hotel bathtub.
People do unconscionable things in hotel bathtubs.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Bina, stand up. Bina, please, stand up right now, please.
Why?
I will give you 20 unhypothetical dollars
if you stand up right now.
All right, then.
Okay?
What?
Honey. Oh.
Shit.
What a shame.
Here you go. Oh, thank you.
So much.
How long have you worked here?
I don't
really work here.
Yeah. What's up?
Look at that.
That is why I'm here today.
Rodriguez & Hayes must be overjoyed.
Actually, I heard they were fighting.
Okay, look.
Teddy broke up with you.
I know how hard that can be, okay?
A long time ago, he broke up with me
to go out with you, so I get it.
But you have to stop now.
I fit into this family. You never did.
I was Francie's first choice for maid of honor.
I was Teddy's first choice for a girlfriend.
Sometimes, first sticks. Sometimes, it doesn't.
He listened to every voicemail I sent,
so what does that tell you?
Tells me you don't know when to stop calling.
Hey, Bina. Hmm?
Make use of the jacket and grab us a cheese plate,
would you?
That's funny. Last week,
I did a search history on our computer.
And one of us looked up "Topless Dame Helen Mirren."
Wasn't me.
M-I-R-R-E-N.
Why did you do that?
Why did you come here?
Jerry said he wasn't coming,
and then all of a sudden he changed his mind
and he won't say why.
Since when does a man need a reason
to go to a wedding with his own wife?
See? He has a pathological aversion
to answering a question directly.
He always answers with another question.
Why did you make Facebook friends
with Henry Grotsky on Facebook?
You answered with a question.
Why are you looking at my Facebook?
You just did the same thing.
Okay. Actually, with Henry Grotsky
and Tom Fo.
Tom Fo?
Mmm-hmm.
Well, Henry Grotsky owns five diners in Central Ohio.
We own a diner in Central Ohio.
Everyone who owns a diner in Central Ohio
is Facebook friends.
You'd know that if you paid attention.
Tom Fo. Okay.
Am I Facebook friends with Tom Fo, really, Jerry?
Okay. All right.
Bina lost her virginity to a loser immigrant named Tom Fo.
He was from Canada.
From the province of Canada that produces the most insufferable people.
That's not true. Manitoba. It is true.
Tom Fo is my first boyfriend, and we loved each other.
Great, I'll friend my first love now.
Helen Mirren will be thrilled.
Renzo, pick up the phone. Renzo, pick up...
Not now, big fight.
Are you all right? You look lost.
I do?
If you need help, just ask us.
Sorry, "If I need help"?
Do you? Do you need my help?
Why would I need your help?
Well, you have no one.
I did the table assignments with Francie.
How could the person who did the table assignments have no one else here?
I planned half the wedding.
Okay.
Table one is Francie, Doug and everyone
who actually matters including Teddy Millner,
the best man-child and Nikki Carmichael,
the second-choice maid of honor.
Table two, Francie's hideous dad...
Roger? No, he's a lovely bloke.
Roger and his trophy wife, and Doug's parents
who are married but miserable.
Table three, Francie's disaster of a mother,
her actual sorority sisters who are all divorced, mostly twice,
sometimes more. What's happening now?
Four, Doug's kooky college friends.
Five, grandparents, no comment.
Six, Doug's dad's military buddies.
Seven, decent cousins.
Eight, indecent cousins including Infamous Kate,
the Millner family nymphomaniac.
Where is eight now?
Nine, Francie's scintillating work.
10, Doug's even more scintillating work.
11, kids' table, no comment.
12 and 13 are two tables of singles,
one supposedly cool, the other supposedly not.
14, Doug's dad's diner world connections.
The hell are we doing back here?
15 are the wedding hires including the reverend,
the hairdresser, the hairdresser's colorist.
And then there's three more tables until you get back here.
Do you know what Francie's mother calls this table?
Enough.
What Carol Millner calls Table 19?
The table that should have known to RSVP regrets...
...but not before sending something nice off the registry.
Enough.
The table that could disappear in the middle
of the wedding and no one would even notice.
Enough!
I did the table assignments with Francie
before I was replaced as maid of honor
because her brother broke up with me over text after two years.
That's the kind of table this is.
I told Francie Millner a never-ending story when she was five.
I taught her a dozen rock-n-roll songs.
I gave her, her favorite toy in the world.
A golden bird that she so loved,
I bet she still has it now.
Does that sound like a person they would put at a table
of people they don't care about?
It sounds like someone who was invited to a wedding
because Francie's mother found out
she was paying $200 a plate for the groom's nanny
and wanted to settle the score.
Oh, and me too.
I mean, I'm here too.
Even though Teddy Millner is the worst person I ever knew.
I wanted to see if maybe I was still in love with him.
So, thanks for the offer but I'm done looking for help from people
who are as lost as I am.
I'm Teddy.
And I'm Nikki.
I'm the best man.
Maid of honor.
Welcome for their first dance
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Grotsky!
Get this party started!
See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they want to go
But they're walking in time
They got the beat They got the beat
Yeah, they got the beat
Hi. No.
Of course not.
Hello. I am Renzo representing House Eckberg.
Uh-huh. Okay.
I'm Luke Pfaffler.
Can I help you with something?
Mr. Pfaffler?
May I have a word with your daughter?
Oh, this is not my daughter. She's just my tablemate today.
Can I ask what her name is?
Megan-Ann.
There it is.
I may come to you one day
asking for Megan-Ann's hand in marriage.
She's not my daughter.
But today, I'm only going to ask for her hand in this dance.
And the rest of her, along with her body.
Good. No, I don't think that's...
You don't want to dance, right?
No. She doesn't want to dance.
Maybe I should have a word with her actual father?
He's not here.
Same with mine.
Okay, I think this conversation is over, right?
Because it started with you asking for a dance
and then the answer to that was no.
First, can I ask if she'd like to hear about my extracurriculars?
Okay. I'm gonna go out on a limb here,
Rezno, and say that she has evaluated the whole package,
including the after-school specials
and she's not really ready to dance with that, okay?
So you could just stand awkwardly in front of another table.
Oh, okay.
Thank you for the clarity of that.
That was bracing, so thank you.
My pleasure.
Would it matter if I'm in a band?
What instrument?
Lyrics. No.
We got the beat
Well, that was weird.
I thought we were gonna be murdered there for a second.
Mmm-hmm.
Oh, my God, the lighting in here is brutal!
God!
My dance number is next and I cannot look like my hair
just got humped by a hurricane.
Hello, Carol.
I must look very different to you
since the last time we saw each other.
O-M-G! Oh!
That's mortifying that I would forget.
Nanny Jo.
Well, you've had a lot on your plate.
No, I am a Champagne mental patient.
It is inexcusable.
No, it's fine. No, it's not.
No, it's fine.
No, it's not fine.
Oh, my God.
All right. We have to catch up one of these years,
when my brain is made of less liquid.
We will die laughing.
One of these years.
My daughter is a goddamn married woman!
The funny thing is, the bloke doesn't realize
he's on the ninth green with his pants around his ankles!
Funny.
This... ...is my nephew.
Hello.
My name is Walter and I'm a successful businessman.
Nice. What line of work are you in?
I could ask you the same question.
Me? Yeah.
Oh, I'm in beer and wine distribution.
Same. Oh, you are?
Ever heard of a guy named Donny Haczyk?
Yes. He's a knobhead.
- He's a what? - A knobhead.
Like a dickhead.
I'm Donny Haczyk.
Good to see you again, Donny.
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
Oh, boy.
People do weird things at weddings.
What was I ever thinking?
It's so weird, one day you can be 100%, the next...
Are you hungry?
Because there's a plate of pigs in a blanket
about to come through that door.
Just grab it.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
How did you...
My sense of smell is my best feature.
Ooh!
Was that a bread roll?
Happy Anniversary.
What's wrong with you?
What are we doing here?
What if I'm just here to enjoy all of this?
Huh? We used to dance, Jerry.
Why can't I just be here to reminisce
on the early days of Bina and Jerry?
Please.
I give up.
Where's Mr. Manny?
Mr. Manny?
A lady at Table 4 says she tries
to eat her own weight in purple cabbage every week.
How do I figure out if the kitchen has that much purple cabbage?
I don't know why you're telling me...
Okay, forget it.
Take this. Take it.
I'll find Mr. Manny myself.
Oh, come on! Hmm.
I should go somewhere.
Yeah, I mean...
You should be traveling the world.
Hmm.
I've never actually been outside the country.
It almost happened after high school
but I had to get a job answering phones at a car dealership
and my supposed friends couldn't wait.
So now I find myself thinking that this guy...
You, guy...
...seem like the kind of person who, in fact,
did not have to get a job at Lukazey's Toyota
and has been to Europe or some such
and knows where one goes to...
To what?
Oh. Well. Uh...
I'd probably say this corner right here is where I'd go for that.
We have no past
We won't reach back
Keep with me forward
All through the night And once we start
The meter clicks
Ugh. I'm drunk, Teddy.
Please don't let me make a fool of myself.
Mom, you could never make a fool of yourself.
You couldn't make it. Not possible.
All through the night
Stray cat is crying, so stray cat sings back
- What are we doing? - We're dancing.
And also?
Maybe making somebody jealous.
Okay.
Sorry. Bit too much?
It's a little too much.
You know, this isn't really dancing.
Oh? Uh-uh.
This is dancing.
Oh...
Watch it!
What?
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start
The meter clicks
And it goes on running
All through the night
We have no past
We won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start
The meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends
There is no end
It was lovely to dance with you.
How did I not just get kissed?
It happens more often than you think.
Hmm...
Uh... I'm Eloise, by the way.
Who are you?
Huck.
Huck?
No one's really named Huck anymo... Okay.
Huck, we are in a grand ballroom full of tables.
I'm at the very worst one.
Would you care to join me?
I shouldn't.
Sure.
Oh, seriously? Yeah.
Oh, God, you're not somebody's date in there, are you?
No.
Because you're not at a table. You're crashing the wedding?
You gotta stay for the food.
Oh, do I?
Yeah, that's why people come to weddings. For free food.
Oh, is that so?
Yeah.
And to meet somebody.
Hello? Hello? Hey, everybody.
Best man. Best man, toast time.
Yeah.
Yeah. Now, I got a few things that I'd like to say.
Well, it's hard to believe any relationship
that had its start at McCormick's 80s Karaoke Night
could possibly amount to anything
more than a one-night stand...
...but it did and here we are and it's perfect.
I guess, you know, to all those who
want to see how it's done,
how people can and should be there for each other,
look no further than table one.
You're a better couple than we've seen
in our family in a long, long time.
So, yeah, in honor of that
I've got a few things I'd like to say about love.
This friend of mine, Clarence, once stood up during lunch period
and said he had something to say about love.
Then he took a dump on the table.
When Francie first met Doug,
she just always knew that he'd never let her down.
But I thought
people almost always let you down,
so where did that come from?
Maybe she realized that
whenever he did let her down,
maybe she'd just be always ready to forgive him.
Whoo!
Come on up here, Nikki.
Save me, please.
I don't know what I'm saying anymore.
Maid of honor toast time!
Oh...
Let's go.
What?
She's none of our business.
Who knows what that girl will do to herself?
We don't, because we don't know anything about her.
She's temperamental. She hasn't had a drink
and now she's puked up mini hotdogs.
Do none of you care that that girl is obviously pregnant?
What? Huh?
You children are such a disappointment.
Go away, please.
You're right. Teddy Millner was always rotten.
You don't know me.
No, he was selfish, rude, mumbling.
Always mumbling.
In love with whatever toy his mother got him
until she got him a new one
and then he just moved right on.
Please go away. Please.
I got his sister Francie a bird that I found
at a Chinese gift store in New York City.
Well, Teddy got jealous.
So the next time I was in New York,
I went out of my way,
skipped a blind date
my aunt tried to set me up on...
Please get out. ...skipped a date,
to find Teddy the same bird his sister cherished.
Well, he played with it for one day!
I never saw the bird again.
My whole life might have been
something else if I'd gone on that date.
But what's done is done.
No. Wait. I know what happened.
He ended it with a text message
when you told him you were pregnant.
Oh...
Jesus!
Never doubt a nanny's intuition.
It's true? Yes.
Can everybody just get out of here, please?
So what do we do?
What do you mean, "What do we do?"
To teach that asshole a lesson. Oh, Lord.
No, I don't want to do anything that will jeopardize my freedom
to run my successful business.
That's right. Let's just please go back
to the table before they think we've left.
What do you care what anyone here thinks, Bina?
Stop. That was an overreaction, okay?
I had too many of the mini hotdogs and...
Can we just forget about it?
That won't be easy.
Teddy Millner is leaving you
to raise a child alone. If you even go...
Oh, my God.
If you even go through with the pregnancy.
Okay, no. This is no one's business, okay?
We're going back to the table.
Let's get out of the ladies' bathroom.
Francie's still my friend, and I'm not gonna mess up her day
by doing something to her dumb brother.
What if Francie never needs to know?
Jerry, stop. She said she's done with it.
Well, no.
No. For once, I'm not gonna do the thing I immediately regret.
Renzo, if I gave you a couple hundred bucks,
could you get a hooker to wait in Teddy's room?
Oh, I was asking the hotel that very same question about my own room.
I don't want to get involved with hookers.
They don't provide them.
You guys probably already know this, but that's not a question
you're supposed to ask a fancy place like this
unless you're a successful businessman.
Which I am.
Are you okay? You looked like you got sick.
I'm fine. Please get lost. Excuse me.
Hello. Jerry Kepp.
Diner associate on the Grotsky side.
Hello.
Did you or did you not dump this girl
after getting her pregnant? Oh, my God.
I'm sorry, what's going on now? I'm just...
I never did like you, not even as a child.
Teddy Millner, did you dump this girl immediately
after she told you she was pregnant?
Okay.
You didn't tell them what you said.
Wait, what did you say? What did I say?
She said that we'd be ridiculous parents.
No, I... Not like that.
Yes, you did.
You said I'd be a ridiculous father.
You asked me if I wanted to keep it.
Then I asked you if you would want to keep it
and you didn't say anything to that.
So then I said we were ridiculous.
It was after you called me ridiculous
because why would you want to keep our kid
if you thought that I was just a...
That I was just a joke?
It was before.
And you were looking for a way out, man!
I get that now.
Everyone we know says we were wrong together.
Your mother wouldn't stop saying that
I was not the kind of girl who ended up with you.
And when it was time for you to stand up and say that she's wrong
and they're all wrong and they're idiots and stand by me,
then you ask me if I want to keep it.
That's your first question.
What was I supposed to say, El?
I constantly disappoint you.
Then you tell me that you think our kid
will grow up thinking that I'm just a joke.
That I was never good enough for you.
And you finally found a way to tell me.
And I was so scared of losing you that
when you told me you were pregnant,
I asked if you wanted to keep the kid.
I'm ridiculous in a million ways.
I am. I know that.
But I can't spend my whole life
disappointing you
as much as I disappoint myself.
Shit.
I'm sorry.
Hey, stop.
Teddy! Stop! Teddy!
Leave me alone.
No, Teddy! No, he doesn't get...
Oh.
Oh, my God.
No, we can fix this. We can fix this. No, Teddy.
Oh!
Oh! I'm sorry.
I've been hit.
- Oh... - Shit.
Oh, my God.
Oh...
Oh, shit.
Oh, my God.
But I'm ridiculous?
Shake it up
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let's go. Thank you.
Shake it up
Yeah, shake it up
Oh...
You want me to call Mr. Manny on these people?
I have a confession to make.
I'm not actually a successful businessman.
I was in prison because I stole
$125,000 from the father of the bride.
It was not a table of honor.
I have a bag of dope in my room.
Room 115 for the dope
in case any of you feel that
a bag of dope would be fun to do.
Not you.
And not you.
You two can drop by and choose something from the mini fridge.
That was the worst invitation to anything I've ever received, ever.
Is your room this way?
Or are you just following us?
Who, me? Just following.
Honestly, it still sounds better than junior prom, honey.
Junior prom is a horror show.
Well, if the thinking was for me to see people at their most happy,
I would have to say that seems to be a huge miscalculation.
Did you just break another chair?
What kind of nanny are you?
Retired.
Wow, the last time Jerry and I did this
was the last time Jerry and I had sex.
Three... Actually, over three years ago.
But no one's counting.
Oh, thank you.
You don't have to do this.
It might be best. If Uncle Roger finds out,
he might tell my parole officer
and then they'd send me back to jail
or extend my time at the halfway house.
I share a room with a man called Jalapeno
who has a smiley face tattooed
on the end of his penis so that when he pees
it looks like it's vomiting sunshine.
He's not as sweet as he sounds.
Well, then you shouldn't do it.
Jalapeno doesn't sound like a good roommate.
No.
I don't know, unless Uncle Roger
is lurking around outside the door, I mean...
Is it Uncle Roger? Nope.
Hi.
I just wanted to say sorry.
I take things too far.
Usually, I'm the only one who gets hurt,
but it didn't work out like that today, so I'm sorry.
Join us.
Or do you have somewhere else to be?
No.
You know, a whole table disappeared from a wedding
and I bet no one even knows.
We can go anywhere, do anything.
The day is ours.
Hello. My name is Walter and I'm a successful pothead.
I'm smoking the reefer.
Who smokes pot? Are you a potter?
- No. - No?
You're a pothead.
You got a table with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for your ship to come in
Folks like me on the job from nine to five
Concierge, please.
Hi.
Um, can you tell me when the next ferry arrives?
In about 30 minutes. Okay. Thanks.
There's a dog in your bathtub.
See? That's what I mean about hotel bathtubs.
You know, marriage is till death do us part.
What does that mean? Does that mean you're gonna get to heaven
and then you'll be single,
and then do whatever you want at that point?
Maybe.
Nobody knows what happens after you die.
You are Romeo and Juliet
and we all wish you the same happy ending.
Congratulations, and best of luck.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a magician.
I always wanted to be a nightclub singer.
Fiction writer.
Now I own a diner.
Bina took over her family's diner.
And I got suckered into managing it
after we got married just like she wanted.
Like I wanted?
Who else would've wanted that?
You asked my father if you could.
You renamed the family diner after yourself.
That was your idea. What?
Uh-huh.
I wanted to be a high school guidance counselor but instead I went to prison.
You made the right decision.
How did you steal all that money?
Right. Yeah, well, uh...
Roger got me a job in his office
when he worked for the Ford Motor Company.
I'm quite good with numbers,
so I worked out a way to steal $125,000.
So I did.
What did you do with it?
Oh, it wasn't for myself.
My friend Eric, who's an absolute sweetheart, a lovely bloke,
his wife was very sick and needed an operation.
Well, then you saved a life.
No. Because it turned out she wasn't as sick as we thought.
On account of the fact she didn't exist.
I don't think he'd ever been married.
What?
He made it up just for the money.
You just called him a sweetheart!
He was a lovely bloke. He was always nice to me.
Except for when he made me go to prison.
Renzo. Yeah, what?
What's with the fur tie?
Oh, thank you.
It's pretty dumb.
No, come on.
Yeah, it is. It is.
My mom believed it would
ever so slightly convey my sexual prowess.
Clonk.
Terrible parents were my bread and butter.
Remember that suit I was wearing earlier?
The chaplain from the halfway house got me that from Goodwill.
And then now I'm wearing the suit of a beautiful lady.
Oh, thank you very much. Thank you.
You wear it well.
No. I look all right.
Wait. Why didn't your dad stop you?
Well, this is my dad's, actually.
He's dead now, which is why I get to wear it. So...
Did he say...
Yeah.
Sorry for laughing about your dead dad.
Hey, no... Guys, no. It's not all that.
I barely knew the guy, so...
Strangers die all the time, right?
I mean, 150 people die every second.
150 people right there.
Can't get worked up over it.
You know?
Better?
No, not really.
Thank you for trying.
My junior prom is tonight.
But my mom said I'd
probably have a better chance here where nobody knew me, so...
I would have danced with you.
Now, in high school, I certainly would have danced with you.
And if you want to dance now,
we can just turn on the radio and just dance.
I don't think so, but thank you.
You smiled
And then the spell was cast
Now here we are in heaven
'Cause you are mine
At last
Fuck.
Here, Ringo! Here, Ringo.
Wonder how my daughter's gonna feel not having a dad?
Daughter?
Yeah.
I mean, I know it's too early to know, but... I know.
Well, I have a request. Don't call her Jo.
I met you today and you think I'm gonna name my daughter after you?
No, of course not.
I've been a nanny to a lot of children who've grown up
and if they don't see fit...
I really just wanted to volunteer that
Jo is a good enough name for a boy,
but a terrible curse for a girl.
Now let's see, a girl's name...
The only girl's name I can think of right now is Nikki.
Well, it won't be Nikki, so...
Look, it's a wedding I won't ruin.
I should go back in.
Tell Francie about the cake.
Let's sit out for a little while.
The world feels almost perfect right now.
Crap!
That's cool. I'm cool.
I know why you came!
You love weddings? Please.
You couldn't get through our wedding day fast enough.
It's funny it took me so long because honestly,
Bina, I didn't think you had it in you to surprise me.
Okay. Yeah.
You're many things, Bina, but surprising is not one of them.
When you went to the bathroom in the nanny's room, you used the phone.
Uh-huh.
I know this because a little light came on
in the bedroom when you did that.
Okay. So, who did you call, Bina?
You only know two people at this wedding and I'm one of them.
You're arranging to meet with Henry Grotsky after the wedding's over?
Hmm? Maybe back in the ballroom
after the happy couple is gone
and I'm upstairs in the room?
You're gonna sell our diner to Henry Grotsky.
You don't out-detective me, Bina Kepp.
I came to have an affair.
Ha-ha.
No way. I know you.
Bina, an affair?
Bina!
Walter, would you come with me, please?
Yeah. I'm flattered.
Goodbye.
I should just let you know that I've got
a little bit of eczema behind my knees.
And, um, oh, last year I had a cold sore,
but that was because Jalapeno was using my washcloth.
And not just on his face.
But, yeah, otherwise, I'm all fine so
just let me know when you want to start the intercourse.
What? What?
Sorry, why am I here?
Not that.
I'm sorry. Okay.
But no. No?
Was it talking about Jalapeno
washing his testicles that ruined the mood?
Um... Sure.
How bad is it?
Pot.
It's medicinal, right?
We could open our own ladies' detective agency.
Put Mr. Kepp out of business.
How bad?
Oh, I'd say that
I'm due around the same time you are.
So?
What did he say?
He said that I should be in the Woodside
ballroom serving hors d'oeuvres
because they're understaffed, apparently.
Did you have a chance to ask the thing
I sent you over there for?
Oh, yes. Yes. Denny, who's that man there,
he said that there's no one registered
under the name you asked about.
Huh. Did you say the right name?
Yeah, Denny. It's on his nametag. I saw it.
Right. Not him. Oh, Fo, yes.
I said Tom Fo. "Is there a Tom Fo here?", I said.
And he said... He said, "No."
Okay. Right. No Fo.
Yeah.
Sorry.
God, that's so weird.
Walter?
Yes. Where are you going?
I gotta go and help with the hors d'oeuvres
in the Woodside ballroom. Why?
Understaffed.
So, you're not the friendliest guy in the world.
I am not.
How did you manage to seduce Bina?
Bad timing? It is bad timing, I realize that now.
If I tell you this, will you stop walking with me?
Not sure. It was summer camp.
I was a junior counselor. She was a senior counselor.
Honestly, Renzo, it's no big secret.
Camp does most of the seducing.
Less often than you think. Oh.
Well, for me, I was okay at dancing.
Probably better than okay. So we danced.
And that's it. That's all it takes.
Find out the one thing you're good at,
make sure the girls know about it.
Even if it's something very private?
My understanding of women seems poor right now.
I'd say go with your gut.
Ah...
Francie doesn't even remember me, does she?
Ah, those rotten kids.
What did you ever see in that boy?
I can't even think about it.
What if you came here for a different reason today?
What if you went away with someone better?
What if I know how to find your wedding crasher?
Go with your gut. Go with your gut. Go with your gut.
Megan-Ann, Mr. Pfaffler,
you probably don't remember me.
We're not going to talk about it.
Of course not.
Let's just watch the kid in his moment of triumph.
There is something I forgot to mention the first time I arrived here,
and that is that I have a gigantic penis.
Excuse me? Oh, my God!
Oh...
Oh, shit.
That's disgusting. This wedding is over for you.
I need you to give me the phone number of somebody
that I can call to get you out of here right now.
Oh! Mmm-mmm.
So... Mr. Pfaffler said he's gonna call my mom.
And the girl?
She started to cry.
I think I didn't describe it appealingly.
We'll work on the wording before you try again.
You're coming with me.
Hello, friend. Just stay right there.
Is this the guy you meant?
Nope. I'm pregnant with his baby,
but not the guy I'm looking for.
Wow. One cigarette break and you miss an awful lot, right?
Oh. This guy?
That guy, this guy. Huck something.
Yeah. I know who that guy is, but his name is not Huck.
No one's really named Huck anymore.
Oh, shit.
Right.
Okay, let's go.
Come on! Yeah.
Only you are my shining star
Don't you go away
Yeah, baby
Wanna be right here where you are
Until my dying day
Yeah, baby
Nice bit of cake?
Oh, Nanny Jo, everybody...
Sorry it's taken us so crazy long to get here.
We're so glad you could all make it.
You're the Kepps, right? Yeah.
My mom says your fries are better
than the ones in all of my dad's diners.
Well, that's not what I thought I'd leave with here today,
but it's something, so thank you.
Sure.
We hope it all works out for you.
It'd be great if it did.
Cousin Walter? I'm glad you could come.
Thank you for inviting me.
It was simply amazing.
Truly wonderful day.
Oh, thank you.
Ah.
He's such a great guy. Yeah.
Sorry about being so far away from you today.
No.
I felt like we weren't even in the same place, you know?
No. It's the same wedding no matter what table you're at, right?
Yeah.
I'm so glad you came over because I was just saying I'm so tired.
Gonna head out. Oh. Okay. Yeah.
Okay, so...
You look so beautiful. Thank you.
And congratulations or best wishes
or whatever you're supposed to say.
And this was great.
Bye, guys.
Have a good night.
Hey.
I know I'm probably the last person
in the world you ever want to see again.
And I get that. Totally understand.
And it will probably suck for you to have to
see me again under any circumstances
which is why I wanted to say that
whatever happened between us and however it ended
I think, you know,
I could be a really good dad,
probably, if you'll just...
If you'll let me.
So, that's it.
Goodbye.
What are you doing?
I don't know how you fixed this,
but it really meant a lot.
Well, it's been so great to catch up with you all.
I hope you all got to dance
to your heart's content.
Do you still have the golden bird?
Oh, Nanny Jo.
You don't even remember it, do you?
No, of course I do.
I don't know why I should be embarrassed about this,
but I lost it almost immediately after you gave it to me.
I cried so hard Teddy gave me his.
He was always good like that.
Francie, we should go.
Okay.
Thanks again for coming, everyone.
It wouldn't have been the same without you.
Please proceed to the docks
to see off Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Grotsky.
What is it with you people?
Teddy Millner is the sweetest child I've ever known.
- Teddy! - Teddy!
I don't see him.
Did he get on? Teddy!
Teddy!
Oh, my God!
Wait!
Too late! Sorry!
I was wrong!
What?
It's crazy! It is! It so is!
It's crazy! After everything.
Sweetheart, you're embarrassing yourself!
Shut up, Nikki!
Shut up. What?
I can't not be in love with you.
You screw up all the time.
But so do I. Way worse!
Great toast, folks! Goodnight!
The baby's a screwup!
Perfect, thank you. The baby is a...
Wait, what baby?
It's a great screwup! It's this perfect screwup!
What?
I don't want to be disappointed by anybody but you!
And I don't want to disappoint anybody but you.
What are you saying?
Please.
It was Tom Fo, wasn't it?
What does it matter who?
Doesn't matter, not at all.
I just like being a good detective.
Gives me something.
Well, he never showed up,
so it really doesn't matter who.
You know what they say? Showing up is 90% of love.
Yeah, and not being an asshole is the other 10%.
He didn't show up. I did.
No, you didn't.
Neither did I.
And the people we were supposed to become together,
they never showed up.
Was there ever a time you would have done that for me?
Just, like, shout out across a lake at me,
in front of a bunch of strangers,
about how you really felt about me?
We shout at each other in front of strangers all the time.
I'll take that as a no.
Would you do that for me?
Well, the you then or you now?
I'm the same.
No, I'm the same.
No, not really.
The Bina I married would never cheat on me.
Well, the Jerry I married...
What?
The Jerry you married what?
How am I different?
Because I'm not.
So stop saying I am. It's not fair.
The Jerry I married loved me.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay.
We're ridiculous.
We're ridiculous?
Yeah, everyone is ridiculous, Jerry!
Okay? You deal with it 'cause you have to!
Do you? Yeah, you do! That's life!
You're ridiculous and a mess!
And you still hope that you'll find someone
who'll think that you're okay enough to be loved.
Is that what life is? Yeah, it is.
And it's really weird that you don't know that by now!
Where are we?
Guys?
Where did they go?
That's the wrong way.
Well, I don't know which way we're going.
Wasn't there a shortcut here? We missed it.
I showed up.
Oh, I heard what you said
to the dumb girl at table seven.
Well, I didn't word it right.
No, you're okay.
Congratulations.
Uh...
Hey, I got these. Room 430.
Maybe in a couple of years.
Wait, really?
Okay, it's booked. A few years from now.
Room 430. I'll be there!
I'll see you in a couple of years!
Yes!
Hey.
Is there anything left?
Not unless you count the lingering melancholy that once was joy.
She means cake.
Oh. Then, yeah.
Thank you.
Mmm.
Oh!
Is it good?
Yeah, really good.
Oh, shit.
What did you say? Oh, my Lord!
Holy shit!
What did you say back there? It was...
What did you do?
It was hard to hear,
you know, with, like, the wind and Nikki
in my ear, and then,
when I got on the railing, everybody started shouting.
And then underwater, you can't,
like, hear anything underwater.
But it sounded like,
you know,
you were getting to something good.
Um...
Uh... It was like
about how, if you're, shit,
ready to be, like, the person who always forgives me,
then I want to be the person who always forgives you.
I don't know, it was better than that.
That's really good.
Can we do that?
Let's do that. Okay.
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
Dream of better lives The kind which never hate
You should see
Dropped in a state of imaginary grace
You should know better
I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
You should see
Goodnight, Mom.
Goodnight, Teddy.
Bye, Carol.
Thought you didn't have family.
The evidence is mounting up against you, Walter.
Renzo, your study buddy is here!
Hey. Here's your mail.
Thanks.
Hi.
Please don't slam the door, even for that.
Ringo?
You're gonna make him fat.
Oh, yeah, I am.
Well, we are.
Here you go, Ringo.
Okay, you're sure you didn't forget anybody?
I told you a million times, okay? I didn't forget anybody.
Sorry. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Okay, so this is the last batch of...
Teddy, where's the baby?
Baby. Oh, man!
Come on, man. I know, I'm sorry.
It's just, you know, if you forget the baby...
I'm not sure I believe you when you say
you didn't forget any of our friends.
Hi!
Here he is. Aw!
The world's best dad when you don't forget
our baby in the empty apartment.
Thank you. You're welcome.
Hello, my old heart
