"When you look at me like that, I don't know how I managed all these years without you next to me." "Well, you weren't exactly lacking for company." "No, this is different." "Yeah, for me too." "I can't wait to start spending the rest of my life with you." "We're gonna have a real marriage." "No holding back, no play-acting." "You can tell me anything and I'll always love you." "Nothing will ever come between us." "Well, I have to be the luckiest man alive." "You're beautiful, intelligent, sensitive, and you're all mine." "She's irrational." "She's stubborn." "She won't listen to reason." "She's out of control." "Out of control." " Jim, just calm down." " She's always been headstrong, but now he's put her up in that hotel like they're starring in Pretty Woman." "He's not putting her up at that hotel." "They live there." "How could she accept a ring from a guy she's known for three weeks?" "Maybe if we're lucky, it'll be a long engagement and they'll both come to their senses." "Maybe if we're lucky, one of them will get hit by a cement mixer" " and they'll be laid up for three years." " Jim." "Guys, if I could interject for one minute here." "I can't help thinking this all has a very familiar ring to it." "You mean like with Dylan?" "No, no, no, with Dylan they were playing house." "We knew they'd be at each other's throats in three days." "And they never talked about getting married." "Hello." "Yeah, just one second, I'll get him for you." "Dad, it's Rene from Lawrence Carson's office, for you." "Jim Walsh." "What?" "Today?" "Yeah, I think I can rearrange my schedule." "One o'clock." "Yeah, that'll be fine." "Okay, thanks." "Wha" " Jim, what is it?" "The Carsons want to meet with us." "They've invited themselves over for lunch." "Does that mean we R.S.V.P. to them?" "I think I just did." "Larry Carson's not the world's most spontaneous human being." "His schedule's usually booked for weeks in advance." "They're obviously just as upset about this thing as we are." "Yeah." "Maybe between the four of us, we'll be able to restore some vague semblance of reality here." "Everything is gonna work out." "Donna, come on." "We're gonna be late." "If Kelly were here, I could borrow her black clogs." "Yeah, well, thank God she's not." "I liked it better when you used to be late." "Wait, let me just grab a granola bar from the kitchen." "Donna, you can get something on campus." "David, I'm starving." " Hi, Donna." " You're back." "Yeah, I came to pick up a few things." "I'll make it quick." "The quicker, the better." "You guys are being ridiculous." "There's nothing to be angry about." "This is all about the lawyers and that damn deposition." "Donna, just cool it, all right?" "No, I won't cool it." "You guys are my best friends." "With friends like that, who needs enemies?" "You know, Kelly, you're the psych major." "Why don't you tell me why your mother is doing this to him?" "Listen, David, your dad has always been nice to me, but I don't wanna see Erin get hurt." "She's only 2 years old." "You really think it's gonna make a difference?" "Not now, but this is about the rest of her life." "No, Kelly, this is about your mother being lonely and miserable, and taking it out on my father." "Come on, Donna, let's get out of here." "We're already late for class." "I'll call you later, okay?" " l'll get it." " Cool, don't keep me waiting." "Yo, KEG house." "Steve Sanders?" "Let me check." "Who should I say is calling, please?" "Laura?" "You just missed him." "He just left for class." "Yeah, sure, I'll tell him." "Okay." "What did you do to that girl, man?" "She's writhing on the floor." "She's begging for it." "Look, don't make a big deal out of it." "She's a nice girl. lt just didn't work out." "Whatever you say." "Third time she's called." "So now Jim and Cindy think that they're all gonna form a united front to stop her." "Bro, your sister's a piece of work" "You know what bothers me the most about this?" "She's gonna wind up" " with another trip to Paris out of this." " Yeah, a few more boyfriends, she'll have enough frequent-flyer miles, she can go for free." "Man, she's gonna wrap Stuart around her little finger just like she does everybody else." "I think this time it's gonna be more like an albatross around a neck." "You keep dropping all these hints about Stuart, man." "What's the deal with him anyway?" " No comment." " What does that mean?" "I already tried to get in the middle of your sister's love life." "I did more harm than good." "So from now on, she's on her own." " Even if she's gonna marry the guy?" " Hey, they're just engaged." " Andrea." "Hi." " Hi, Laura." "Oh, after that chemistry experiment we had, I'll never have another french fry again." "I guess it'll take more than that for me." "You went to West Beverly, didn't you?" "Don't hold it against me." "Why would I hold it against you?" "I'm just kidding." "Some people have ideas." "Well, when you were in high school, did you know a Steve Sanders?" "Yeah, very well." "He's one of my closest friends." "Yeah, he seems like a really nice guy." "We have a folklore and mythology class together." "You wouldn't know how I can get in touch with him, would you?" "I don't know." "Well, he spends a lot of time at the KEG house." "Yeah, see, I tried there, but I don't think he's getting my messages." "The thing is, is that I missed one of my classes and I thought maybe I could borrow his notes." "I don't know how good they'll be." "Yeah, well, I'd still like to talk to him anyway." "Could you give me his home phone number?" "Sure. I think I have it right here." " lt's okay, I have a piece of paper." " Okay." "You know, that's one thing I really love about college, all kinds of people coming together from all sorts of places, even people that you would least expect." "He doesn't do his reading." "He doesn't do his assignments." "All he wants to do is watch TV and play basketball." "So I'm thinking maybe he needs someone who speaks his language, someone who knows how to get through to him, because I obviously don't." "Let me tell you something about D'Shawn." "The dropout rate in his high school was 42 percent." "He's the first person in his family ever to go to college." "He's only the second in his family to graduate high school." " He's a smart kid." " l know." "That's what's so frustrating." "I mean, with midterms coming up next week, I don't think he's gonna be eligible to play on the team this season." "What do you think about asking D'Shawn to join us when Lucinda and I have you over for dinner?" "I didn't know we had definite plans." "Well, I think if you meet in a more relaxed atmosphere, away from the pressures and the roles you normally have to play" " Am I interrupting something?" " Oh, no, no, come on in, sweetie." " You remember Brandon." " Sure." " Nice to see you again, Brandon." " Yeah, you too." "I was just talking to him about he and D'Shawn coming for dinner." "You like spicy food?" "Yeah. I guess." "Well, great." "Then you're in luck." "She's got all these native recipes from Guatemala that are out of this world." "Yeah, it will be fun." "I love getting to know my husband's students." "Thank you." "Chardonnay." "And an extra-dry martini." "Thank you." "Jim, this is perfect." "Glad you like it." "And we're very glad that we could all get together and discuss our children's engagement." "I'm sure you have as many concerns about it as we do." "Well, it certainly caught us by surprise." "Especially since they've only known each other for a couple of months." " Three weeks." " Hi." "Well, here's the happy couple now." "Brenda, you look wonderful." " Hi." " ls this a new suit?" "Stuart bought it." "Your son is spoiling me." " Oh, well, he takes after his father." " Thank you." "Jim." "Cindy." "Or would it be okay if I just called you Mom and Dad?" "I thought it was gonna be just the four of us." "Well, it is their wedding." "They ought to have some say in it, don't you think?" "Now that we're all here, let's get down to business." " Shall we sit?" " Good idea." "Jim, as you well know, I've never been one to beat around the bush." "Now, I know you've done very well for yourself." "You've got a nice little practice going." "But I wanna tell you, nothing would give me more pleasure than if you would let me pay for the wedding." " Father has so much tact." " Well" "Poor Larry doesn't know what he's getting himself into." "I've been talking to the wedding coordinators." "By the time we're finished with this, my poor husband is gonna have to build a whole new city just to pay for it all." "Well, I mean, what exactly are we really talking about here?" "Well, naturally, we have a lot of obligations." "I mean, from our side alone, we're looking at between 350, 400 people." "Just a few of their closest friends." "So how many guests would you like to invite?" "Well, I really haven't the slightest idea." "Oh, dear." "I hope I haven't offended anyone." "Cindy, Jim, we want you to be involved in absolutely every decision." "Cindy and I kind of hoped that the children could wait a while." "Dad." "No, no, no, we couldn't agree with you more." "We were thinking a June wedding would be perfect." "That is, if it doesn't bother Stewie's allergies." "Mother." "Listen, I've gotta say one thing about my son." "He may be irresponsible, he may be immature, he may be spoiled rotten." "But for once in his life, he made a snap decision that is right on the money." "Don't you think?" " Well" " Good." "Then it's all settled." "The ladies will spend the next six months arguing over their color schemes, while we try to figure out how to come up with the cash." "Oh, Larry. lsn't he awful?" "He's terrible." "Listen, I'm sorry." "Figures they'd try to turn our wedding into a three-ring circus." "And my parents are so negative about us, it's ruining everything." " There is a way around it, you know." " What?" "We hop on a plane to Las Vegas tonight and we do it ourselves." "Tonight?" "We know we're gonna get married, so why postpone the inevitable?" "I can't think of a single reason why." "We'll grab our things and we won't tell a soul." "There is one person that I have to tell." "Are you crazy?" "Mom and Dad are gonna kill you." "After tonight, I'll be out of their control." "There's nothing they can do about it." "Brenda, this all seems a little impetuous." "I mean, have you given this any thought at all?" "I've been doing nothing but thinking about it for weeks." "But not like this. I mean, the two of you are acting like fugitives." "Why do I have to keep on explaining myself to everyone?" "Look, Brandon, I was really hoping for your blessing." "I mean, you're the only one I can turn to." "Then I guess you have my blessing." "Thank you." "Do you realize the next time you see me, I'll be Mrs. Stuart Carson?" "Oh, one more thing, whatever you do, don't tell Mom and Dad, okay, promise?" "Still hanging out at the Peach Pit, huh, McKay?" "That's what it looks like." "The old high-school hangout." "Hard to break old habits, huh?" "No. I just like the food." "I guess you're one of those guys that can't handle change too well." "Maybe I just don't try to fix something that isn't broken." "Or maybe you just can't face what's already breaking up." "Oh, you're so subtle, John." "You know, Kelly tells me she doesn't wanna see you anymore." "But every time I turn around, she's still with you." "So I figure you must have some kind of hold on her." "No, Kelly can see whoever she wants." "She knows that." "But why she'd wanna see you, that's just beyond me." "That's right, McKay." "It is beyond you." "I don't like that kid." "Even when he was in high school, I always knew there'd be trouble whenever he showed up." "Yeah." "Let me ask you something, Nat." "I've been with a lot of girls." "Why is it the only two I ever loved are running around with total dirtbags?" "The nerve of those people, barging in here, railroading their over-inflated plans down our throats, and then saying they want us involved in every decision." "I didn't know what I was supposed to do." "Carson's my biggest client." "I couldn't tell him we don't want him in our family." "Will you tell me one thing?" "Why are they so eager to marry off their son?" "You know what I think?" "I think this is just an excuse for Vivian to throw another party." "So how'd it go?" "Not exactly as we'd hoped." "The Carsons have decided to throw them the wedding of the century." " And you guys are okay with that?" " We didn't have a whole lot of choice." "Listen, Jim, maybe it's not as bad as we think." "I mean, they are talking about six-months' preparation." "A lot can change in six months." "Listen, I'm not ready to give up yet." "I still think if we get Brenda alone and sit her down, we can reason with her." "Yeah, what's up, what's up, what's up?" "Steve, it's Brandon." "Pack your bags, we're going to Vegas." "Dig it, a road trip." "All right man, Vegas." "Do you need an id, because--?" "Steve, we're not going there to gamble." "Then why are we going?" "Brenda's eloping." " What did you say?" " You heard me," "With Stuart?" "No, with Pope John Paul ll." "Of course with Stuart." "Hey, man, what's with your sister?" "What, is she flipping out?" "I don't know. I'm gonna get us tickets for the 5:00 flight from Burbank." "Burbank?" "Why do we have to drive all the way to Burbank?" "Because everything from LAX is booked." "Let's just do this, okay?" "Listen, any problems, I'm gonna call you right back," "Okay." "So, what's the problem?" "Gee, Steve, where would you like me to start?" " Who is this?" " lt's Laura." "Laura." "Look, I've been meaning to call you." "I'm sorry I haven't." "But I'm on my way to Vegas right now." "I'll speak to you when I get back, okay?" "hello?" "Kel, you're not gonna believe this." "She what?" "She is?" "When?" "Okay." "Bye." "You're not gonna believe this, but Brenda's on her way to Las Vegas to get married." "I'm going out." "Okay." "Where are you going?" "Las Vegas." "Las Vegas?" "I thought you'd stopped gambling." "I have stopped gambling, Dad." "Well, then why in the world are you going to Las Vegas?" "I promised Brenda I wouldn't tell you." " What now?" " Brandon." "She and Stuart are getting married there tonight." "I have taken just about enough of this." " Oh, my God!" " We're going." "No, Dad, you can't go." "If you show up there, she'll never trust me again." "We won't tell her you said anything." "And what, you just wound up at the hotel by coincidence?" "Come on." "You can't do anything to stop her anyway." " We're still her parents." " And if you try, you're gonna lose her." "He's probably right, you know." "But you have some kind of plan, right?" "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Iast and final call to board flight 86 to Las Vegas, scheduled for departure at 5 p,m, I can't believe we made it here in one piece." "What were you worried about?" "I don't know, maybe it was that Cadillac we cut off on Barham or the big rig we almost jackknifed on the freeway." " l told you we'd get here." " Yeah, right on time." "Hey, gotta hand it to Brenda." "Vegas is a great place to party-- l told you, we're not going there to party." "Hey, what's the big deal?" "Marriage, blackjack." " lt's all a crapshoot, right, man?" " Excuse me, son." "Donna, maybe if you hadn't taken so long to pack, we wouldn't have had to rush here." "I wanted to be prepared." "What do you have to bring to Las Vegas?" "A few spangles?" " A little see-through negligee?" " Kel, it's nothing like that." "Yeah, maybe I should have brought my Girl Scout uniform." "Oh, my God, look who's here." " l told you it'd be a party." " What are you guys doing here?" "We thought we'd catch Wayne Newton's supper show." "You don't think we'd let Brenda get married without us, do you?" "Our seats are over there." " Oh, Donna." " See you later." "Who else did you tell, Steve?" "Only Kelly." "And my good friend, E." "Don't give me any hassle, okay?" "It's a late boarding pass." "I already went through it with the guy at the front desk." "Hey, guys." "Oh, come on, Bren, you know what they say." "The more, the merrier." "David, you made it." "Yeah, I got somebody to cover my shift." "Donna, I'm gonna go sit in the back." "No, Kelly Taylor, you come back here right now." "We are all sitting together." "Donna." "Just let her go." "I don't wanna talk to her anyway." "No." "Can't the two of you put your differences aside for one night?" "I mean, this is the biggest moment in Brenda's life." "And the last thing she or any of us need are the two of you at each other's throats." "Yeah, I guess we could call a temporary truce." "Sort of like a national holiday?" "Gee, Kel, would you like the window seat?" "No, David, I would never deprive you of that." "Go right ahead." "Thank you so much." "Look, David, I'm sorry." "You know I hate this mess between our parents just as much as you do." "The worst part about it is, I had a sister for a year and now I miss that." "Me too." "Out of all my mom's five marriages, you're the only brother I ever had." "Well, you know what, if you're willing to give it another try, I've got this room at a great apartment right on the beach." "That is my room and don't you forget it." "I'm already crying." "I just love weddings." "Will all passengers please take their seats and fasten their seat belts?" "Please make sure your seat is in the upright position." "We'll be departing shortly." "Dylan, you came." "You kidding?" "I wouldn't miss this wedding for the world." "Room service." "Oh, boy." "My last supper as a single woman." "Well, you can't get married on an empty stomach." "My God." "Here you go." "This is turning out to be everything that I had hoped for." "Well, you ain't see nothing yet." "To the rest of our lives." "I cannot believe we did it." "I mean, we got away from them all." "Okay, if you have an ace, it's worth one or it's worth 1 1 ." "If you have a picture card, it's worth ten." "I wonder how long it takes before you really know somebody." "Okay, say you have a 1 6, the dealer has a seven or higher showing, you ask the dealer for a hit and he'll give you a third card." "I mean, do you ever really know what someone else is thinking?" "What are you thinking?" "The whole concept of human connection, maybe it's just an illusion." "Andrea, you need to listen to me here now because we're going to Vegas and you need to learn how to play twenty-one." "But I'm not 21 ." "They're never gonna let me into the casinos." "They'll never check." " Twenty-one." " Twenty-one." "Wanna go to a wedding?" "Look, I respect the fact you don't wanna interfere in Brenda's life." "But now that she's gonna marry this guy, you gotta tell me what you know about Stuart Carson." "Hey, don't get me started, all right?" "I don't wanna get involved." "Bro, you got involved the second you set foot on this plane." "All right." "Used to be this place called Eve's Apple." "You ever heard of it?" "No." "What was it, some kind of nightclub?" "Yeah, some kind of nightclub." "That's where everybody went to score their drugs." "Stuart was the manager, and when he wasn't managing, he was dealing." "Well, that settles it, man." "We gotta figure out a way to stop her from marrying this guy." "Just because he was dealing then doesn't mean he's dealing now." "So, what are we supposed to do?" "Cross our fingers and hope that he's cleaned up his act?" "Hey, man, let's just hope that your sister knows what she's doing." "You guys, it was so wild getting off that airplane and seeing all those aluminum palm trees." "It was like we were entering a whole new universe." "Wait till you see the moving statues and the jousting matches." "Circus Circus is by far the best." "Yeah, I have to admit, it's not quite what I expected." "What did you expect?" "A lot of mobsters and hookers." "No, I just didn't think it was the kind of place you could bring your family to." "Talk about an entrance." "It's from an old Marx Brothers movie." "Say the magic word, you win a duck." " Thanks, Groucho." " l'm Harpo." " l'm Chico." " No, no, no, I'm Chico." "He's Zeppo." "I think you're all crazy." "All right, man, what's on the agenda first?" "A little blackjack?" "Maybe a little craps?" "Well, wait, shouldn't we find Brenda?" "I don't know, Donna." "It is their honeymoon." "We did not come all this way to leave them alone." " We have to give Brenda a shower." " Yeah, a cold shower." "Thank you." "You mean I am not the only one here who thinks this is just a little bit ridiculous?" "This has to be the most idiotic thing Brenda's ever done." "You don't know what she was like when she was a kid." "So, what do we do?" "We have to go and find her and tell her how we feel about all this." "I don't think that's a good idea." "The first one of us that tries to stop her is just gonna be driving her to the nearest chapel." "Yeah, he's right." "The thing we have to do is make her think that we're all behind her on this, make it out like this is the coolest thing she's ever done." "But all the time, we gotta drop these little bombs that hopefully will make her come to her senses." "Brilliant." "Yeah, because if we do it right, it'll drive her up the wall." "So we all set to go?" "Well, the honeymooners are in Suite 1 096." " Thank you, Rosie the maid." " Thank you, Steve Sanders." " Then let's do it." " All right." "Guys, wait a minute." "We got Brenda figured out." "What about Stuart?" "I'll take care of Stuart." "I wonder what my life is gonna be like as a married woman." "Nothing like my mother's, that's for sure." "Well, you can do charities or join clubs." "Or do nothing. lt's all up to you." "What about my career?" "Darling, don't misinterpret me." "Anything is possible, as long as it doesn't take you away from me." "Have I told you that I love you within the last ten minutes?" "Think you're just about due." "That must be housekeeping to turn down the bed." "Well, tell them the bed's already turned down." " l can't believe how rude they are." " l'll get it." "Surprise!" "How did you guys all know I was here?" " Who do you think?" " Oh, you've got the biggest mouth." "I just thought you'd want all your friends to see you cross the threshold." "I've been thinking about you guys all day." "Well, how about it?" "Have you done it yet?" "Done what, Kelly?" "Get married." "Are we too late?" "Nope." "Stuart and I decided to get married at the stroke of midnight." "Isn't that romantic?" "Yeah, that's real cool." "Let's go." "Dylan, I am so glad you're here." "Well, I got to thinking about it." "You're right." "I have no right to tell you how to run your life." "You're a smart young woman and you'll do fine." "I wouldn't miss it for the world." "What's going on out here?" "Well, looks like we have some company." "Well, everyone, welcome to my honeymoon." "Not yet." "Not until your bachelor party, tough guy." "And you are getting a bridal shower." "Well, it wasn't on the itinerary, but what the hell?" "Well, okay." "Room service, this is Suite 1 096." "I need three magnums of your finest champagne." "And I want you to charge it to Stuart Carson." "Carson." "And I need a peanut butter and banana sandwich." "Thank you." "This suite is incredible." "Oh, well, come on and I'll show you the rest." "Stewie." "Stewie." "I can't believe you guys just hopped on a plane." "Talk about good friends." " lt's more like a family." " Get used to it." "You're just not marrying Brenda, you're inheriting a whole family." "Take all the girls, for instance." "They're inseparable." "They're either talking on the phone or at each other's house." "And you'll get to know all of them just as well as you know Brenda." " They will get to know you." " Know what's great about these girls?" "There's never any secrets between them." "I mean, Brenda tells these girls everything." "Wow, look at this bed. lt's huge." "I bet you even have a sauna in your bathroom." "And a steam room." "This suite must cost a fortune." "Well, good thing Stuart has one." "Yeah, you're lucky he didn't make you sign a prenup." "Well, actually, he did." "But it's no big deal." "I mean, he's tearing it up after six months." "Well, then I guess there's nothing to worry about." "I'm just glad we're all together." "Yeah, me too." "Now you guys can be my maids of honor." " l would've killed you if you didn't ask." " Well, when you all showed up here I thought that you had come to try and stop me." "Why would we wanna stop you?" "Hey, everybody, listen up." "This is a great suite, but what are we doing here?" "Come on, this is Vegas." "Buck and a half to win 9 and a half." "Yo, eleven." "Oh, my God." "Okay, who's feeling lucky?" "You guys, we can't do this." "We're underage. lt's against the law." "Come on, Andrea, like they're really gonna check." "Well, what if they do?" "Would you guys stop worrying so much?" "Nobody's even looking." "Just go for it." "Fine." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Quick, grab a cup, grab a cup." "This is fantastic?" "Oh, I love Vegas." "Talk about beginner's luck." "This is great, just keep talking." " Oh, this is amazing." " How much do you think is here?" "I don't know, but let's go cash it all in, come on." "What, are you kidding?" "This machine's hot, we can't stop now." "Oh, yes, you can." "I need to see some id, please." "Do we look under 21 ?" "I gotta tell you, that's a big compliment." "Thank you." "Let's see a driver's license or a picture id." "You're kidding, right?" "Come on." "You don't have to leave the hotel, but you can't stay in the casino." "And I believe 500 of those dollars belongs to us." "Anything left over you can pick up at the cashier's." "Welcome to Las Vegas." "Never check, huh?" "Steve, I ain't going down there." "Come on, pal, you wanna borrow my id, it's cool." "Bro, you know that's not the problem." "Great." "You won't gamble with me, Dylan won't drink with me." "And you probably wanna back out of your bachelor party, right?" "Hey, I'm not turning into a monk." "I know this great place just outside the city limits that doesn't serve any booze, so you guys can get in." "No drinks?" "You'll live, Steve." "Believe me, the girls in this place make up for it." "Yeah?" "Sounds like you're still the swinging guy, Stuart." "No way, man." "These days I'm on the straight and narrow." "After some of the stuff that's happened to me..." "Like what?" "Dylan, you knew me in the old days." "You think I'd be marrying Brenda if that's what I was still into?" "I guess not." "What are we gonna do, stand around here and talk about it or are we gonna make a move, you know what I'm saying?" "Let's go." "Okay, it's gonna be a little harder than I thought." "Yeah. I'm beginning to like the guy." " You too?" " Yeah." "What's so funny?" "I was just picturing Vivian Carson's face when she finds out that all 350 of her closest friends are gonna miss the wedding." "Honey, what are we doing?" "I don't know." "Making ourselves miserable." "There's still time to catch a flight to Vegas." "What about what Brandon said?" "If we're gonna lose Brenda, we might as well go down fighting." "I'm gonna go pack." "I'll call the airlines." "Here we go." "Only in Las Vegas would they have a bridal shop in the hotel lobby." "Yeah, and one that's still open at 1 1 p.m." "Lucky for us." "I didn't notice until I was in the dressing room, that this is a polyester blend." "I mean, how can I get married in a wash-and-wear gown?" "Well, it's the sentiment that counts." "Well, it's something new." "I've had this handkerchief of Grandma Rose's for years." "Definitely something old." "Okay, and here's something borrowed." "Now, you give that back." "And something blue." "A garter?" "Well, I was gonna surprise you with it later, but there you go." "I guess that just about takes care of everything." "Well, except for the ceremony." "This is so weird." "You know, the last wedding I was at was Mel and Jackie's." "But I'm sure yours will work out much better than theirs." "Oh, would you check out the set of headlights on that chick?" "David, those are not headlights, those are high beams." "I think I'm in love." "I gotta hand it to you, Stuart." "I mean, I just don't think I could spend the rest of my life stuck to one girl." "Well, when you got a girl like Brenda..." "Oh, yeah, I'm sure she's grown up a lot since we were together." "Yeah, I'm sure she has." "Because back then, fidelity wasn't really her strong suit." "You know what I'm saying?" "But that's ancient history." "You don't wanna hear about that." "Well, maybe I should." "There was this guy in her aerobics class." "Aerobics class?" "Then she had a boyfriend in Paris." "Paris?" "Yeah." "She said it didn't mean anything." "You know what?" "It probably didn't mean anything." "I mean, we were just both too young to settle down." "Yeah, well, you know, this is a whole different situation." "Yeah, you know, I'm sure it is, I'm sure that you know Brenda a lot better than I do." "Look at the time, would you?" "We gotta get out of here." "Yeah, Stu." "You're about to get hitched." "There's still no answer." "Try Stuart's room again." "Maybe they're there." "Honey, we've called them half a dozen times." "What if we're too late?" "Call the concierge, get a list of all the wedding chapels in town." "Yes." "Now, on to the music." "I have Hawaiian, "The War Chant."" "Inspirational, "Love Me Tender." Traditional, "The Wedding March."" "The Hawaiian War Chant?" "How about if we just take "The Wedding March"?" "Yeah, that's good." "That sounds good." "And as an extra added touch, we also offer celebrants to throw rice as you leave the chapel." "I don't think we need any more celebrants." " But you do want the rice?" " Rice sounds good." "Good." "Okay, that's 55 for the license and the silver-embossed license holder, 40 for the ceremony, 1 5 for the audiocassette, 40 for the videocassette, 25 for the photos," "40 for the live organist and the rice." "Which makes a grand total of $21 5." "Would that be cash or charge?" "You know, Donna, now would be as good a time as any." "For what?" "For me and you to get married." "Have you lost your mind?" "Tomorrow we can have it annulled, but tonight..." "David Silver, you have lost your mind." "It was worth a shot." "So, Stuart, a few more moments of freedom left." "You ready?" "Yeah, I'm ready." "That's good." "Got the ring?" "You can't hold your own ring, man, that's what you got a best man for." "I really don't have one." "Well, you know, you got one now." "This is hopeless." "Keep trying." "Yes, have a Stuart Carson and a Brenda Walsh gotten married in your chapel today?" "well, ma'am, they're here right now," "They are?" "Right now?" "hello?" "Well, it's a good thing we got here early to get a good seat." "Brandon, I am really nervous." "Nothing to be nervous about, is there?" "No. I'm just glad you're here to give me away." "Yeah, me too." "Although I know Dad would've loved to have done it." "Yeah, I know." "You know, I think eventually he'll accept Stuart as his son." "After all, it is till death do you part." "Well, this is it." "In a world of alienation and poverty and war and misery, perhaps we most truly reveal our belief in possibilities when we make the commitment to share our lives forever." "And ever and ever." "It is not a decision entered into lightly." "For marriage is not a gambol across sunlit meadows." "Oh, no." "It's a long and arduous journey through a dark forest fraught with unseen dangers and sometimes disappointments." "But it is the ultimate testament of man's refusal to accept despair." "So at this time I turn to the congregation and I say:" "If anybody here knows why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony, let him speak now or forever hold his peace." "I do." "Not yet." "I haven't asked you the question." "No, no, no." "Just wait, wait." " Stuart, I don't know how to say this." " No, it's okay." "Go ahead." "Look, these last few weeks... I don't think anyone could imagine asking for anything more." "It's been the most exciting time in my entire life." "I know." "Look, I thought I was in love with you." "But I'm more in love with love." " l mean, do you understand?" " Yes. I do." "When I look at my parents, they've been married for 20 years." "It's been such hard work." "You know, I realize" "We hardly know each other." "You don't want us to get married either." "Oh, thank God." "All right, that's it!" "Stop the wedding!" "Stop the wedding!" "Dad, what are you doing?" "We're not gonna let you go through with this." "We are stopping the wedding right here and right now." "Too late, guys." "It's already been stopped." "Good." " Good." " Right." "I can't believe all of you were just standing there watching it happen." "Come on, what were we supposed to do?" "You know how Brenda is." "Guys, you know, it's not too late to hit the tables." "We could catch the 2:00 show of Siegfried and Roy." "I have to get some sleep." "You know, I hate to admit it, but they look great together." "You know, but for a small turn of fate, this would have been our wedding dance." "You're lucky to have so many good friends." "Well, there's always room for one more." "You know, somewhere along the way, I realized I was trying to create a life for myself by becoming part of yours." "It's pretty pathetic, huh?" "Well, in a way, I guess I was kind of doing the same thing too." "Not that it wasn't wonderful." "Oh, it was great while it lasted." "You know, just because you're not my husband doesn't mean I don't love you." "Yeah." "Well, we'll always have Vegas." "Should we do our special little dip here?"
