"This is my brother, Carl." "Your name is Carl as well?" "This is a small world!" "Yes, teeny!" "Like a gimlet." "Yes, my tiny, teeny little brother, but not small." "No." "Big." "Older, but not by much." " Carl, who I love so very, very much." " How's it goin', bro?" " Wine?" " I'm sorry, I'm suddenly very thirsty." " Carl?" "Carl?" " Carl." "This is Karl Bollenbecker and I'm Greta, his wife," " and we're so charmed by your sister." " And her outspoken fiancé who seems to find fault with /every player in the Bundesliga." " But not Podolski." " But never Podolski!" "So, you sound English, but your sister..." " Can I borrow Emma?" " Yes, but we both had..." "I'm sorry." "A hand noogie!" "Who is that man out there pretending to be me?" " I can explain." " He's wearing sweatpants." " Sullivan!" "Honey, you're stress-eating." " I'm not." "Go on." "I wasn't at my father's." "I was with Sullivan." "Not "with him" with him, but in his apartment drunk." "That sounds worse." "I assure you I was fully clothed." "Beyond that, I'm not certain, except he showed up today with papers when I had to go to the tasting, which you refused to go because you're busy..." " Get back to the Bollenbeckers!" " Right." "Fine." "At the cake tasting, there was this sweet lady." "And she thought Sullivan was my fiancé and I just couldn't disappoint her." "But this lady wasn't sweet at all." "She was Mrs Bollenbecker," " which I didn't know." " You certainly know now!" "I do." "Had I known I wouldn't have let the whole thing continue." "But it did continue until everyone was quite taken with him, especially Mrs Bollenbecker when he sang." " He's a singer?" " No, no, no." "He's a fireman." " Darling, are you sure you want that?" " Yes." "Yes, I am." "What is he doing here?" "He came to bring me the notarised papers." "But then there was Mrs Bollenbecker." "I'm Emma Lloyd, so he's my fiancé." " And I am tiny brother Carl." " Oh, Richard, I'm terribly sorry." "But, uh, oh, look!" "Mini-cupcakes." "Look, Emma." "I only got about half of what you're saying, but this seems to be something that can be cleaned up easily." "So before you harpoon what is left of my reputation, I am gonna go in there..." "No, no, no, you can't!" "They're going to exterminate you." " What?" " Not you, Abdington Books." "Terminate!" "No, liquidate!" "That's it." "Yes, chop it up in little pieces, sell it all off!" "Everything must go!" "That's why Karl wasn't coming." " But he did come!" " Because Mrs B made him come." "She made him come so he could meet you." "Oh, look." "I think he's really starting to like you." "Oh, all right, I..." "Let me think now." "Man owns so many entities, I can buy a year before our paths cross, so we just have to get through this." "A few more minutes?" "And a dinner." "Tonight." "It was Mrs B's idea, so Karl could get to know you." " He's gone." " Karl?" " No, Sullivan." "He's gone." " But the dinner!" " Get him there!" " Oh, uh..." " Is Sullivan even in here?" " I don't see how he'd fit." "Not now, Marcy." " Find the lioness within." " Now, you've read my book?" "Mr Sullivan, Emma Lloyd here." "Here's the deal." "My entire career, and my marriage to Richard, probably, are at stake here." "Frankly, I need you." "I really need you... tonight." " Hello?" "" " Say "yes" if he's there," "- "Oh, my God" if he's not." " Oh, my God." " Oh, my God!" "" " Don't overdo it." " You got hit by a cab?" "" " Good, nice touch." "What hospital are you in?" "I'll be right there." "He was hit by a cab!" " Who was hit by a cab?" "" " Is that Sullivan?" "Oh!" "So it was only your foot?" "And you're fine, promise?" "Oh!" "Carl, he got..." "a cab ran over his foot Yeah." " Carl can't catch a break." " Drink lots of cocoa." "Bye-bye, darling!" "Richard, I was beginning to think a man who would leave his fiancée un-attended for so long might not be as charming as I imagined." "But, no matter." "Please, join us for dessert." "Karl, I know how important this dinner is to my future with the Bollenbecker Group, but I've got this family thing." "And where I come from, family comes first." "So I'm just here to invite you to a party." " Could be a lot of fun." " To family!" "Above all else!" "To family!" "You look beautiful." "Nice crowd for your upanayanam, man." " What's with all the white people?" " Party crashers." " Even that one?" " No, that one's with me." "Welcome, Emma." "Get up there." "Oh, I love my husband but he snores at night, and it only gets worse..." "My husband snores all the time." "I just, tight slap." " Tight slap." " You look really cute." " Why do they snore?" " Check your mehndi for hidden messages." "It's part of the tradition." "When marriages were arranged, the groom would search his bride's body on their wedding night to find initials." "Ah!" "That's naughty." " Did I happen to say thank you?" " You did, and you're welcome." "You're not the person I thought you were, Patrick." "Likewise, Dr Lloyd." "I can't." "I have to go." "Wilder?" "It's me." "Can you come get me?" " Hey." " Hey." "Got any beer?" " You did good tonight." " Thanks." "You gotta tell her, man." "Girls are way into honesty." "All right." "Goodnight, you two." "Oh, um, honestly, Wilder." "What am I doing?" "Running around Queens in the middle of the night, crashing Indian bar mitzvahs two weeks before my wedding with a man" " who's technically my husband." " Beats me, Em." " Would you like another one?" " Mm, yeah." " I used extra eggs." " Thank you, Daddy." " I wish Mom were here." " Yeah, me too." "She'd know exactly what to tell you, wouldn't she?" "You're doing all right, actually." " You still make a mean breakfast." " I second that." "He also makes amazing smoothies." "Is there time for one?" " Um, no." "Uh, Lauren, this is Emma." " Emma!" " Oh, my God." " Hi." "My mom loves you." "I'd listen to your show, too, but I don't have a radio." "Which reminds me, is there a mall here, or a Best Buy or something?" "Oh, there's a Toys "R" Us." "Maybe they'll have something for her." "Nice to meet you." "Wilder, it's been real." "Um, excuse us a minute." " Is there something wrong with you?" " No, no, nothing." "I'm just late and I have to go meet Richard, so..." " Don't jump to conclusions." " No." "Thanks for breakfast, Father." "Sorry I can't stick around for the smoothie." "You don't know everything there is to know." "No, like some things never get old, and, um..." "My car is here." "Look, this time, you're really wrong, Emma." "You are." "Goodbye, Wilder." "Bye, sweetheart." "Daddy loves you, nonetheless." "The golf tee white is stylish, but, um, I just, it's been done." "And it's not as common as the picket fence white, which is safe, but it's a bit boring." "The Navajo white is bolder, but it's sort of in-your-face white." "I don't know, um..." "They all look the same to me." " In what way?" " In that they're all white." "Yes, but different, I mean, wildly different." "Are you not going to ask me about last night?" "Well, I assumed it went pretty well." "Bollenbecker Group just renewed my contract five years, thanks to you." "Now, all we need to do is file those papers and we'll put this behind us." "Um, well..." "I don't have the papers." " What's going on, Em?" " I don't know." "He had them at the book signing." "Between the dinner and the upanayanam," "Indian bar mitzvah, don't ask, I misplaced them." " I had them in my hands!" " Don't worry about it." " It's so unlike me." " It's all right." "I'm gonna take care of everything from now on." "A white lie is still a lie." "It may be a subtler shade of truth, but anyone's who's looking can see it on the wall." " So I should tell him the truth." "I'm saying that a cream-coloured, ivory-hued, matte-finished, half-truth will erode the foundation of your relationship." "" " You're getting married soon, right?" " Yep." "That's right." "Your fiancé must be a lucky man /to know he has you to keep him honest." "We're both very lucky." "Brother Carl." "Didn't know you played." "Let's drop the bullshit, shall we?" "It's Richard." " Richard Braxton, as you well know." " Patrick Sullivan, as you well know." "Hell, we're practically family." "You behaved like a real gentleman over a rather odd period." "Emma tells me you did me a good turn" " and I appreciate that." " It was fun." "I have to play the spoil-sport and ask for those papers" " so we can go separate ways." " I'll bring them by the office." " No, that's not gonna happen." " Why's that?" "She and I have a life which doesn't include you, and I want to keep it that way." "So I'm asking you man-to-man" " not to see her, call her, text her." " I'm not much of a texter." "Somebody in your circle seems to have a gift for technology." " What do you mean?" " The more I look into this glitch, as Emma calls it, the less accidental it seems." "You might be technologically-challenged." "Anyone close to you" " might be able to pull this off?" " Not off the top of my head, no." "I intend to find out who did this." "Something wrong with him." "I know you've been there." "We've all been there." "Sounds like a crush." "You're a grown woman, let's call it an infatuation." "...far bigger problems than what you have now." "You're dreaming!" "Wake up, girl." "Do you share the vision of the future?" "Is he dependable?" "You have to ask yourself." "Smart, successful, beautiful women cannot live on kisses alone." "You may think the chemistry has commonality with friendship." "Take a look at the compatibility quizzes in my book, chapter seven." " You'll find it illuminating." "" " Thank you." "Thank you, caller." "Hi, you're on the air." " I'm reading your book, too." "You call this a self-help book" "- or does that term offend?" " Uh, not in the least." " Who does it help, exactly?" " Well, it..." "See, the thing is, I, um..." "I haven't gotten to the helpful part yet." " Perhaps you're a slow reader." " No, it doesn't tell you how to find somebody to love, or how you get somebody to love you back." "All it does is tell you what's wrong with the person you're in love with." "That to me, well, that's not very helpful." "Perhaps it is you who are wrong for the person you think you are right for." "What is it you know about me that would make you say that?" " I don't know you." " You bet you don't." "I don't." "Since you called, here's some advice." "Instead of blaming others for your problems," " consider looking at yourself." " I'm looking right at my problem." " Well, stop fogging up the mirror." " Nice." " Did you just hang up on a caller?" " I did not just hang up on a caller." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Uh, hello?" "I think we've been disconnected." "It must be those cell phones, those nasty cell phones." "Thanks to my caller for calling and I will be seeing you tomorrow for the next /Real Love with Dr Emma Lloyd." "Are you crazy?" "How dare you come to my place of work and make prank calls?" "I'm flipping through this and it was so full of crap" " that maybe I ought to call in!" " I see you actually bought my book." " No." "I stole it from your party." " Stole it." "That makes sense." "And I took your compatibility quiz." " Really?" "How did you do?" " According to this, my lifestyle is wholly unsuitable to any freak who would buy or write a book" " like this." " Surprise." "Those tests don't lie." "New York City Fire Department." "Official business." "Please exit the elevator." "Come on, ladies." "Sir, thank you." " What are you doing?" " Unsuitable?" "Is that really what you think of me?" "I don't think of you." "You want to see unsuitable?" "Hey, security," " what's the story with the elevator?" " Holy!" " My wife loves her show." " Delivery." "I can't even get a guy to hold a door for me." " Step back, please." " Can you fix the focus on that?" " Zoom in a little bit." " There you go." "I've had enough of this." "Excuse me, sir?" "Doctor?" "Doctor?" "I'm gonna have to ask you to please stop." "Stop what you're doing." "Come down to the lobby immediately." "Stop it." "Stop it now, please." " Sorry about that." " Which part, exactly?" " Kissing you thing." " We just got caught up." " Carried away." " Lost our heads." "I'm getting married." "Yeah." "You love him?" "I only ask this because... being that I'm your husband and you're my wife, I have this..." "I have this vested interest in seeing you happy." "I want to be happy." "Don't you?" "What is happiness anyway?" "I don't know." "You tell me, you wrote the book." "I guess I don't know." " Patrick..." " It was nice being married to you." "You, too." " Thanks." " Goodbye, Emma." "Oh!" "Oh, oh!" "I'm sorry I'm late." "I know, I'm always so prompt." "Don't worry." "When I arrived, I told them to bring the drinks in ten minutes." " How's that for timing?" " Oh, what a day." "You have no idea." "Actually, I kind of do." "I heard your show today." " That was Sullivan, I take it?" " Yes." "The good news is I got the papers." "Everything but page 127, and I'm sure it's in there somewhere." " We'll never see him again." " So why don't you look happy?" "I am." "Well, I've got something that might cheer you up." "Harry Winston finished our rings." "Now, wanna have a look?" "Wow!" "See, the circle of eternity came out great, don't you think?" " No." "They did mine wrong." " What are you talking about?" " It's perfect." " It says "Do I?" "Do I?" "Do I? "" "Not "I do, I do, I do."" "Em, you're under a tremendous amount of stress at the moment." "It's not stress, Richard." "I just don't know." "I'm really confused." "Well, I'm not confused, Em." "I know exactly what I want." "I think you and I are the perfect team." "Never doubted it for a moment." "But I am not gonna talk you into marrying me." "Take a few days and figure out what it is you want." "In fact, why don't we begin that right now." "Richard." " We had a really /nice time." "Good conversation." "He was sweet and funny, /but I don't know." "Something's missing." "" " There was no..." "Exactly." " Spark?" "Yeah, let me tell you something about sparks." "Sparks cause fires and fires will burn your house down." "Keep searching for good ol' Sparky, you're sure to get burned." "Trust me on that, OK?" "Oh, I'm so hungry!" "Wilder!" "Your girlfriend's wearing my robe!" "Actually, his girlfriend's daughter is wearing your robe." " Hello, Emma." " Aren't you my?" "So, um, why the big secret?" "I wanted to tell you." "Your father thought you wouldn't hire me as caterer if you knew we were dating." " Is that what you call it?" " That or this is an elaborate ruse" " of yours to get out of paying my bill." " You have been worth every penny." "There you go again, always saying the perfect thing." "You've been together for almost a year." "Why didn't you tell me?" "You've met so many women over the years, I thought I'd hold off on this introduction until we were sure of each other." " And are we?" " Well, I am." "I can't even keep track of all the things I've misunderstood." "Sorry." "Dad?" "I know I never asked you, but, um, what do you think of Richard?" "Do you like him?" "Well, sure, honey." "What's not to like?" "I mean, he's perfect, isn't he?" " Is that a compliment?" " You don't need compliments from me." "I've never told you how to live or who to date." "That's always been in your department." "So, what if I'm, uh, losing my footing in my department and I'm asking for a second opinion?" "Well, I think Richard is a a good, safe bet." "You know?" "He's the kind of guy that you've always gravitated toward and advised other women to pursue, isn't he?" "Probably the type of fellow that my brand of fatherhood pushed you into." "Look, honey, I mean," "I've made some big mistakes in my life, some real whoppers, but if I hadn't I probably wouldn't have been able to recognise the real thing when it came along." "You don't have to be so right all the time." "It's OK to make a couple mistakes." " Hello, tall lady!" " Oh, Emma!" "Emma, you're drenched." "Come, darling." " Move, she has to eat something." " Quiet!" "Can't you see that she's not here to eat or watch telly or chit-chat?" "She's come for the man she loves." "Here you are with your "come, come" and your "sit, sit" and your "eat, eat"." "You're standing in the course of true love." "Stand aside, I say!" "Through the beads, up the stairs, two flights." "What?" "Yeah, it's raining." "Figured you'd have the day off." "Come in." "Oh, here you go." "Let me, uh, let me get you some dry clothes." " Patrick?" " Yeah." "I think I called off my wedding." "Emma, I..." "I need to tell you something." " What?" " It can wait." "Oh."

"No, I'm not married!" " Liar." "Stay away from me!" "Emma!" "Emma, I can explain." "Yeah?" "What, that this is no accident?" "There was no glitch?" "No, you." "You are the glitch." "You Googled me, invaded my life, invaded my privacy, ruined my relationship." "I almost called off my wedding for you!" "I trusted you!" "I had sex with you." "You're just some sort of con man, scam artist, deranged fan?" " Know what?" "Don't flatter yourself." " I..." "What have I done?" "Richard warned me about you." "I warn people about men like you every day!" " I'm worse than my own callers." " Emma!" "Stop!" "Thank you." "Can I show you something?" "Please?" "Do you know her?" " No, I don't."

"Someone you don't know and can't remember, you changed her life and mine forever." "I guess I wanted to educate you about that." "About what it's like to have your life ripped out from under you." "I wanted to knock you down a peg." " You did." " Emma, I..." " Goodbye, Patrick." " Emma." "Emma." "It's beautiful." "I was just thinking how... how it's too big for me without you here." "Are you here?" "If you'll have me." "Do you mean you still want to get married?" "I do." "I do." "I do." "As many of you have heard, I'm getting married." "People keep asking me if I'm nervous."
