"Oh, please." "I used to be able to swing my legs over the door of my cherry red convertible." "Huh?" "A little step's not gonna stop me." "Oh!" "I guess you don't want help with that belt." "Nope."

"Next week, I will officially be over the hill." "What is this?" "This, patrick, is the wedding binder formally known as mine and graham's, which I now happily bequeath to you and annie." "I feel bad taking this." "Maybe you want to hang on to it, you know, for you and jack?" "What?" "Now that he's single." "Doesn't mean we're getting married." "Isn't there a part of you that's happy about the breakup?" "No." "I think any eakup is sad." "And it's gotta be hard on jack." "He's a proud guy." "Yeah, I heard he went to his cabin to hide out." "Do you think they broke up because of you?" "No!" "Do you?" "Yes." "All right, enough." "This is not about jack's relationship." "It's about your wedding." "Now let's get started." "Invites... beauty treatments..." "Designing the wedding favors... look, patrick, there's even a section for groom preparations." "Who knew a groom had so many responsibilities?" "Remember, it's supposed to be fun." "Think of them as "re-fun-sibilities." "Yeah,"pick out a ring, select a tux..." "Get the marriage license"?" "This is big." "Don't worry." "Your best man can help you with all that." "Who is your best man?" "Better add that to my list." "This could be it... my alaskan fat camp." "What little chubster wouldn't look at that view and think," ""sensible portions"?" "Right." "Well, I should get goin'." "Gotta deal with all this wedding stuff." "I got a whole section of binder now and all." "Getting hectic, huh?" "Oh, big-time." "There's tons of work." "Annie's got marin maid of honoring for her, but I'm still flying solo." "Gotta find my best man." "All right, patrick." "I'll do it." "I'll be your best man." "You will?" "Why?" "I'm your big brother, and you asked me." "I did?" "You were getting ready to, right?" "Yes." "You two better stop this before I turn on the waterworks." "I swear to oprah." "All right." "I'll meet you back at the inn." "Grab your binder." "Oh, it's just a section." "That's gonna change." "There are a loof possibilities here." "You know, I hope you're not putting down elmo ots for me." "I'm not." "It's for the fatties." "Good." "Because you're... you're a peach." "You really are, and the fatties might need you, but I'm just looking for a little fun." "I'm not a commitment guy." "I'm good on my own." "I am not asking you to be my life partner, but I was hoping you'd go to the ice dance with me." "We d't ice dance at that thing." "We just shuffle around on our skates and eat some high sodium hot dogs." "Lucy woo is doing the star skate this year, and I thought we'd do an ice dance for her... an homage for the queen." "Okay." "I'll do it for lucy woo." "We need to show these breeders how it's done." "* in your soft asylum come to vanish again * * when your thoughts are crushing * * and you're broken again * * and you're broken again no way in *" "sorry, buddy." "No camping allowed on this part of the mountain." "Cash." "I'm not feeling too good, man." "Should have left me out there." "You're sick, cash." "Not possible" "I never get sick." "I must have gotten it from marin." "Marin's sick?" "She was until she made this soup." "I need to get that soup." "What soup?" "I don't know." "It's magic." "I goa get some." "Well, you're too sick to travel, cash." "Cool." "You'll go get it, then?" "No." "I can't face marin right now." "Why not?" "Because I was an idiot." "I don't wanna hurt her anymore." "She's too good a person." "Oh, she's not half bad." "She's like the sun." "After a long winter, she's like this... force that just wakes you up." "Nice." "You should tell her that." "Well, believe me, the last person that she wants to talk to is me." "What is it with you two?" "What do you mean?" "She doesn't think she should talk to you." "You think you shouldn't talk to her." "You sound like two people who shou probably just suck it up and talk." "She said that she shouldn't talk to me?" "Don't make me go into this again, man." "Just take me to the soup." "You're gonna be fine." "We don't need to bother marin, all right?" "I don't know." "What do you mean, you don't know?" "It's a raw bar." "Everyone's doing it." "Shellfish says "unique." "Yeah, but not in alaska." "Shellfish are like apples... of the sea... that are alive." "Patrick, I have got to get you to work with me a little here." "I just don't think a raw bar is exactly my and annie's style." "It's in "instyle." "It should be everyone's style." "Hey, marin!" "Meet my new best man." "Oh, that's gre!" "It would be if I cld get our boy here to agree to a butterscotch fountain." "Oh, for patrick?" "Yeah, he's more of a cupcake kind of guy." "What's better than a ton of tiny cakes?" "Weddings are wasted on the straight... unless you and jack walk down the aisle." "That would be a foxy trot." "He's in the know." "Seriously, people have got to stop." "Patrick, we need to make an announcement... a single jack and a still-absorbing-the-news marin do not a couple make." "Do people think I have no self-respect?" "Should I have thrown lynn a bon voyage party, too?" "French... you should have two french songbirds the end of your wedding." "Don't worry." "I'm on." "So george, huh?" "Yeah, he's great." "But shellfish and songbirds and fireworks explode into hearts?" "I don't know." "He's more like the worst man." "I mean, don't get me wrong." "I love him like a brother." "I'm starting to think maybe I should do this on my own." "What is it with men?" "All this "I'm fine on my own" business." "You don't have to survive by yourself." "That's the point of community." "Women aren't afraid to lean on each other, but men always run to the woods." "You're on in three, two, one." "Spring is coming." "Men of elmo, any day now, the ice is going to crack." "My question to you is when are you going to crack and ask for some help?" "This is you two as kids?" "Oh, that was the summer we sold wigs made from auntie shen's goats." "I see you got me up here, too." "You're family, george." "Your life is so glamorous, lucy." "Those costumes... the hair... it never moves." "It's unreal." "She even has a patented move and everything." "It's all about the "choo-choo" hands." "She even has a juice drink named after her in china." "And a lawn mower." "Yeah, it's a lot sometimes." "Sometimes I wish I could just be here with mai and live a normal life." "And hang up the skates?" "Oh, I hang up everything to find a man as good as buzz." "I wish I could just quit the tour and stay here in elmo with my favorite cousin." "I miss you." "Oh, I miss you, too, honey." "Well, uh, can you stay?" "No." "I'm not citizen, and my work visa's up when the tour goes home." "Well, what if we set you up with a nice american man?" "You know, the kind of guy who doesn't wear a deep-cut fuchsia leotard... someone who can get you a green card." "Just like that?" "Cousin, this is elmo." "Ten men to every woman." "And a looker like you?" "You could have your pick of green cards, especially with those "choo-choo" hands." "Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga... please, don't do my move." "Marin, you home?" "Jack." "Is he l right?" "(Coughs) he says he needs soup." "Many bowls of soup." "100... that's better, sweetie." "Now eat your soup." "I'm not a "sweetie." "Looks like he's gonna live." "Yeah." "Thanks for your help." "Are you all right?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "What happened?" "I tried to remove the tattoo." "Yeah, with what, a weasel?" "No, no, I went to a guy." "I just wanted it gone, but I guess I have to go back and finish it." "Well, that makes sense." "It takes time to heal... from a breakup, from a tattoo." "See, it's not so bad to have an "N." "I mean, there are so many things that it could turn into." ""Alone"?" ""New." ""See?" "Endless possibilities." "I've been wanting to talk to you." "Yeah?" "Yeah, you're, like, the only person that I've wanted to talk to." "Why did you break up?" "I guess I was, uh, working too hard to pretend that we were still jack and lynn." "It just felt wrong." "I'm sorry." "Don't be." "I'm the one who made a fool of himself." "No, you were human... painfully human." "And I messed us up." "Jack, I... know you're in a lot of pain." "I know you need to heal, and I want to help you, but... it's not like I can just give you chicken soup." "I would want to give you more... and I can't right now." "I get it, marin." "Well, I'll see you on top of the mountain, right?" "For the skate?" "No." "This whole thing has been so humiliating." "Hey, I know from humiliating public breakups." "All of new york knew about the relationship coach whose fiance cheated on her, but you know what got me through?" "Elmo." "They didn't even know me, and they supported me." "This is your town, jack." "Let them help you." "What are we looking at here, patty?" "What's gonna be our wedding do?" "Oh, I don't know." "I wasn't planning on changing much." "Just... what if we grow it out and gel it back?" " Um, I would..." " I see what you're going for here, but I think our boy here wants something a little more natural." "Yeah, I wouldn't mind something natural." "Okay, what if we went retro, and we, like, layered and feathered it?" "You know, marin says you shouldn't change your whole look on your wedding day." "Marin's not woing with this." " Can I just say something?" " Yeah, sure, bro." "Okay, all this stuff you wanna do... the birds, the butterscotch, the blowouts  it's perfect... for you." "What are you trying to say, patrick o'bachelorton?" "I'm your brother." "I deserve the truth." "Okay, truth... having you as a brother has been a wicked ride." "I mean, we're so alike, it's scary." "I think you'd be a great roomie." " Probably a good cook." " Of course." "I even think you're a great wedding planner... just maybe not for my wedding." "I just don't think we're ready." "Stabbed in the back by your own flesh and blood." " I dn't mean it like that." " I'm kidding." "Patrick, I get it." "You do?" "I want pinlits in the centerpiece, and you want a single-wick candle." "And ne'er the two shall meet." "Exactly." "What the hell are pinlights?" "Oh, hey, celia, have you seen annie?" "We've got a big veil meeting." "She's older than patrick, you know." "Uh, yeah, by a couple of years." "I don't think that makes a difference." "No?" "What about more than a couple?" "How about A... couple couple?" "How about that?" "Uh, what about that?" "You don't... you don't think a man starts looking at a girl's crow's-feet and starts to wish he'd landed himself a little chickadee?" "Yeah, I'm not sure where you're going with this." "Of course you're not." "You and jack are the same age." "You're not gonna have these problems." "Uh, well, first of all, I think he's a teensy bit older, but second of all, what is wrong with people?" "There is no jack and me." "Is this about dick?" "He's turning 40." "I'm f... patrick's mother." "Right?" "You do the math." "Look at you." "You're a beautiful, vibrant woman." "Okay, okay." "Don't... don't get fresh." "I'm just saying you have nothing to worry about." "Well, I look good now, but... what about when I... turn the bend?" "You know, how do I know dick will wanna go there with me?" "Because he's a smart man." "Look, he already landed himself an older woman." "He's gotta be doing something right." "Thank you." "That was a pretty spectacular date." "I can pretty much die and go to heaven now." "Okay." "Bye-bye." "What, a fella doesn't get any thanks for his efforts?" "Okay." "Bye-bye." "Ice queen indeed." "He took me to a petting zoo." "At least the other three guys you set me up with bought me dinner." "This is your favorite cousin, and you threw her to jerome?" "It was short notice." "I was shooting for a green card, not a silver anniversary." "I don't think I'm going to find love in alaska." "I must return to my cold, unfulfilled life on the ice." "Oh, I hate that you have to leave." "I know." "Me, too, but none of these guys are right." "I wish I could meet a great catch like george." "He is a gem." "Yeah, he'd be perfect, except the boy is gay, and he might be a little related to you." "Yeah, it's a shame." "It shouldn't be so hard to keep a family together." "Wait, so you haven't met the perfect husband yet, but that doesn't mean you can't have a family." "You want her to get knocked up?" "No." "Lu, you might not find love in america right away, but while you wait for mr." "Right, why not settle for mr." "Green card?" "Mai, will you do me the honor of giving me your cousin's hand in marriage?" "Yes!" "I fired george." "You what?" "I know, I know." "I'm a coldhearted bastard for firing my own brother." "What happened?" "Well, he's great and everything, and it... it's awesome that we're brotherers, but he doesn't really know how I roll yet, and vice versa." "Well, of course not." "You only met him two months ago." "Yeah, and I feel like my best man should be my best friend, uh, besides annie." "Yeah, I was a little worried about that butterscotch fountain." "And the whole oyster thing?" "Right." "You've got that who texture issue." "Hey, what would be wrong with mini quesadillas?" "Everybody loves those." "Well, si, si, se?" "rita." "See, patrick, thgreat thing about you is you are a guy who likes the simple things... the real things." "You make people relax and feel good... that's who you are, so that's how your wedding should be." "Exactly." "MariN." "Will you be my best man?" " What?" " What?" " Well, you know me really well." "Patrick, you... you cannot just steal my maid of honor." "I'm not." "Being a maid of honor is a full-time job, patrick, and the bride has twice as much to do as the groom." "Twice as much?" "Really?" "Have you seen my list?" "Yeah, I've seen your little list." "Big deal." "You pick out some music and write a toast and half the vows?" "Well, you can't even get married without the groom, so there." "Fine." "Fine." "I am so happy that you two are getting married." "Um... oh, sorry." "He does that." "Hey." "You're looking better." "That soup, man." "I don't know how you do it." "It really is some sort of miracle." "So you gonna come skating with me?" "Oh, I don't think I'm ready for that." "Come on." "It'll be fun." "Jack's right." "What about jack?" "He said you're all bright and shiny and crap, like the sun." "He said that?" "Ah, not the "crap" part." "Thank you, lucy!" "Okay, let's go." "Everybody on the ice!" "It's okay." "Whoa!" "* that was so long ago... *" "Well, how are you enjoying your first spring skate?" "Oh, it's great." "You have noticed all the snow, right?" "Yeah." "Well, we take what we can get." "At the summer solstice, we had hail." "Oh, got it." "But just so we're clear, the point of this whole thing is that we're so close to the thaw, that the ice is going to crack, so we're getting in our last skate, right?" "Pretty much." "Isn't that just a smidge dangerous?" "A town full of men, marin." "Aha!" "Yes." "Hey, look who showed up." "Excuse me." "* I just had to call you back again * * tell me what to do... * hey." "Oh, hey." "You made it." "Yeah." "Thanks for, uh, getting me back out, coach." "My pleasure." "I'm glad you're here." "Yeah, me, too." "Someone had to keep you from falling through the ice again." "* I would still be there for you * * will you still be there for me?" "*" "* When I need * * a friend... *" "* everybody falls apart * * look at me, I've been a part again *" "And now two very promising young ice dancers will take the ice!" "What are you doing?" "I'm off-tempo." "I'm off-tempo!" "Give into the ice." "Remember what lucy said?" ""You are the heat that cuts the ice."" "Would you mind not talking about the missus for five minutes?" "Please, you're obsessed." "Aren't you?" "Not enough to marry her." "And turn!" "I'm just trying to do something nice for mai." "It's just a piece of paper." "It's not like it means anything." "I know." "It may not mean anything to you, but it means an awful lot to me." "The whole institution of marriage pisses me off." "No one should get married until we can." "The gays, I mean." "You're jealous." "You're crazy." "Oh, you should be committed, saying you don't want to be committed." "I know I said that, okay?" "I know, but it's just something I said." "A man's gotta protect his heart around here." "So you want a relationship with me?" "You ice dancing fool, of course I do!" "Oh!" "It's breaking!" "Get off the ice!" "Get off the..." "There's my spring blossom." "I miss the big crack?" "Oh, dick." "We need to talk." "Uh... look..." "I'm older than you by a number of years." "So, you know, let's say when you're 60," "I'm gonna be... and when you're 70," "I'm gonna be... and when you're 80," "I'm gonna be... dead." "So as you can see, this just isn't gonna work." "So, you know, you should just... you just get out while I can still kind of walk a little." "You think I care?" "When I look at you, I don't see age." "I see an intelligent, beautiful, sexy police chief with an ass that just won't quit." "Really?" "I don't care if you're 39 or 59." "Okay, just for the record," "I'm not 59." "Whatever." "You're hot, and you're mine." "Let me be the ashton to your demi." "Hey." "Hey." "I talked to arty from the body shop." "Yeah?" "Wh... why?" "You know, for our "just married" getaway car." "Says he's got a monster truck that'll really make a statement." "We are not leaving our wedding in a monster truck." "Why not?" "We'll be up high, we can see everything, havehose mud flaps so your dress won't get all muddy." "We'll be making a statement!" "Patrick, I'm not going to let you ruin our wedding." "I'm just not." "Marin!" "I-I need to ask you something else, but I didn't have time to write another poem." "Would you please be patrick's best man?" "Please?" "For me?" "I think maybe you should say yes."
