This is it.

Oh, God.

You can do this.

Five, six, seven, eight! Barrel turn, barrel turn.

Stop! Enough!

What is wrong with you guys? You look older than me!

We open in three weeks.

This is not hard. It's music.

It's movement. It's passion.

Just let your body feel the beat.

Just dance. It's gonna be okay!

Da da doo doo

Just dance!

Spin that record, babe

Da da doo doo Just dance!

Gonna be okay Da da doo doo

Just dance, dance

Just dance!

You can do this.

No, you can't.

Hi.

I've had a little bit too much

All of the people start to rush

Start to rush by

How does she twist the dance?

Can't find my drink or man

Where are my keys? I lost my phone

Lost my phone

-Hi. -Hi.

What's goin' on on the floor?

I love this record, baby

But I can't see straight any more

Keep it cool

What's the name of this club?

I can't remember But it's all right, all right

Just dance! Gonna be okay

Da da doo doo Just dance!

Spin that record, babe

Da da doo doo Just dance!

J-J-J-Just dance! Gonna be okay

Da da doo doo Just dance!

Da da doo doo Just dance!

Gonna be okay

Da da doo doo Just dance, dance!

My body is not what it used to be.

See? Not so difficult.

My gosh. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just because you're my daughter

doesn't mean you can be late for rehearsal.

Oh, Harper. Is it the knee again?

Uh-huh.

Okay, come on. Let's help her up. All right.

I'll go look for some aspirin, okay.

-Mom, are you sure you're okay? -I'm fine.

Why were you late?

Don't tell me it's that wedding stuff again.

The ceremony is

Saturday. We've been very busy with the...

I know, and I agreed to let you have the weekend off

as long as it didn't affect rehearsals.

Today is Monday, the investors are coming,

and we have to show them that we're ready.

I'm dropping out of the show.

What are you talking about?

You can't drop out. You're the lead.

Marco and I discussed it, and after the wedding,

I want to stay in Italy with him.

Pumpkin, we go on in three weeks.

You can't stay in Italy. This

show is going to make you a star.

Oh, I see. This is his idea, isn't it?

No, we made the decision together.

Well, you didn't discuss it with me!

Amanda! Where's that aspirin?

Help me look through these bags.

Not one of you has any aspirin?

How do you call yourselves dancers?

All right, come here.

Julia, go see if the Korean market

is still out of aspirin. If so, buy booze.

As for the rest of you, if you

value your careers and your lives,

keep searching.

You've only known him three months!

I love him.

Listen, I know how you're feeling right now.

I did this whirlwind romance, got totally swept away

and look what happened to me.

-After your father left me... -You threw him out.

And whatever Dad did or didn't do...

There wasn't much he didn't do!

I'm not going to let you ruin your life

by trading in your dreams for

some ridiculous fairy tale in Italy.

I want the fairy tale.

A role like this only comes around once in a lifetime.

A love like this only comes around once in a lifetime.

What's that?

"Vitality Tonic."

Eighty proof?

"The Playboy Prince"? Is this who

you want to give everything up for?

He's young, gorgeous, Italian.

He's the heir to a textile fortune.

Women throw themselves at him.

And boy, does he catch them!

Not any more. He's done playing the field.

He's left that all behind. He promised.

Promises?

What about the promise you made to me

to come back after the wedding and be my star?

I know. I'm sorry.

But I'm not going to change my mind.

You are contractually obligated to perform in this show!

You're going to sue me?

For your own good.

Mirabella!

Mirabella, you cannot walk out on me.

You are so banned from my wedding!

You wouldn't dare!

I'm getting on a plane

tonight, and I don't want to see you there.

You can't ban me! I'm your mother!

Amanda! Aspirin!

I've got something for you.

"Aramid O'Malley's Astonishing Vitality Tonic."

Never heard of it.

It's eighty-proof.

Well, that'll work.

Oh. Thank you, Julia.

We're already over schedule. We can't postpone the show.

Harper, the investors are showing up in two days.

Reschedule. Tell them we'll be ready on Monday.

What? No, the wedding is on Saturday!

If it happens.

Harper, you cannot stop this wedding.

She's under his sway. She's not thinking clearly.

Runs in the family.

Harper, are you flying all the way to Italy?

Don't get on that plane, Harper.

Excuse you!

Knee hurts.

Aspirin! Where's that aspirin?

"Look younger than you feel."

Well that does me no good.

Not bad. Kinda minty.

Whoa...

Whoa.

Whoa! Whoa.

Whoa!

Oh, God! What's happening? Is this a blood-clot?

I'm having an aneurism.

What the hell is in this stuff?

I'm young.

Oh, my God.

Clock strikes upon

the hour And the sun begins to fade

There's still enough time to figure

out How to chase my blues away

I've done all right up till now

lt's the light of day that shows me how

And when the night falls The loneliness calls

I wanna dance with somebody

I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah

I wanna dance with somebody

With somebody who loves me

I wanna dance with somebody

I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah

I wanna dance with somebody

With somebody who loves me

I've been in love and lost my senses Spinning through the town

Sooner or later the fever ends And I wind up feeling down

I need a man who'll take a chance

On a love that burns hot enough to last

So when the night falls My lonely heart calls

I wanna dance with somebody

I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah

I wanna dance with somebody

With somebody who loves me

I wanna dance with somebody

I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah

Yeah I wanna dance with somebody

With somebody who loves me

Somebody

Somebody

Hello.

Somebody who loves me, yeah

Somebody! Somebody!

Wow.

To hold me in his arms

I need a man who'll take a chance

On a love that burns hot enough to last

So when the night falls My lonely heart calls

Oh I wanna dance with somebody

I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody

With somebody who loves me

Don't you wanna dance with me baby?

Don't you wanna dance with me, boy?

Don't you wanna dance, don't you wanna dance with me baby?

With somebody who loves me

-Amanda! -Who's this?

-It's me. -Harper?

Are you okay? You sound weird.

My throat is a little swollen.

I must have caught something on the flight.

How's the knee?

It's, um, better.

It's a lot better, actually.

That tonic really did the trick. Where did you say you got it?

One of the dancers found it here in the theater. Why?

I had the tiniest, sort of, miniscule, you know...

Harper!

Reaction.

Well, what kind of reaction? Are you sick?

I am definitely feeling very strange right now.

You should go to the doctor.

Amanda, Amanda, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just...

I need you to figure out where this stuff came from.

Okay, I'll see what I can do. But

you need to come home right now.

We need to find a replacement for Mirabella today.

No. I came here to convince Mirabella

that is not worth giving up her career for.

And now I know how to prove it.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to seduce Marco.

You're gonna seduce "The Playboy Prince"?

I'm going to show her that lover-boy

here isn't cut out to keep promises.

Just find out what you can

about that tonic, and call me back.

Excuse me, sir? I'll have you know

that I'm an almost-married woman.

That's all right, I'm an almost-married man.

And this is how you choose to spend

your last few, precious hours of freedom?

Hours? I-I only need five minutes.

-Ew! Ew!

What do we have here?

No, put that down!

No, no, no, no. We're almost-married, remember?

-There are no secrets. -We're not married yet,

at least not for another couple days. So we do have secrets.

-Is that your novel? -No!

Great! Like father, like daughter!

No. He's not a novelist. He teaches

Comparative Literature at NYU.

So, besides, I'm gonna stay in bed

with you all day, and have six kids.

Stop, they're my vows!

Sorry. Sorry.

So... How are yours coming along?

Great!

I mean, that's really important to you, right?

That we both write our own.

Yes! It's very important. It's the most important.

It's the one chance we have

to stand up in front of everybody

and say how we really feel about each other.

Speak from our hearts.

And I do love you with all my heart.

Me, too.

I wanna tell you but there's so many words to say

I wanna tell you But the words get in my way

It's all there on the tip of your tongue

My heart's so full Brain goes go numb

So I'll just ask you Do you, I do

Me, too

So I'll just ask you Do you, I do

Me, too

Wish I could tell you That you make me feel like I shine

And I'm so proud to be yours And to call you mine

It's all there in the beat of my heart

Just open your mouth and start

So I'll just ask you Do you, I do

Me, too

So I'll just ask you Do you, I do

-Mirabella! -Come in!

Seating emergency! Total disaster! Come quick!

Okay, just a minute. I'm gonna change.

Sorry, duty calls.

I... I don't know what to do. Where should I put this?

I don't even know who this person is.

Hello? Am I in the right place?

Surprise!

And you are?

You don't remember me?

Debbie Hayworth. Second cousin, once removed.

Aunt Marjorie's side.

Aww, okay. Your grandmother and my great uncle...

I'm sorry. Too many details. You must be on my mother's list.

We played all the time as kids.

Remember the tree-house Uncle Eddie built in back of the barn?

Of course! The old tree house!

God, it's been forever. You look so...

So much like my mother when she was young.

Really?

Yeah.

The spitting image. It's weird.

It's really weird.

You know, Aunt Marjorie always said the same thing,

and I said, "Well, if I have to look like

somebody, I'm so glad it's Aunt Harper.

"I mean, is she just a timeless beauty, or what?

"A-And so talented!"

Aunt Marjorie always called her a super-star.

I really hate to break up the family reunion,

but we have a rehearsal dinner nightmare on our hands. See?

Oh, gosh. These Italian family feuds. They last for 700 years.

And I don't know where I'm

going to put my Great Aunt Birdie.

She came in all the way from Boston.

Interesting color scheme. Is that... Puce?

A bold choice.

I thought your mom said you were

going with dusky rose and gold accents.

No. That's what her mom wanted her to go with.

Pink and gold are classics.

Old-fashioned.

-Tasteful. -Boring.

Oh my gosh, Debbie, you fixed it.

Thank you. Oh! You have got

to come to my bachelorette party.

Bachelorette party?

Oh, yeah, we're family. You have to come!

We have champagne and mani-pedis.

Mani-pedis?

-Yay! -Yay!

All right, well, I'm just... I'll get settled in then.

-Okay. -All right.

All right.

-Hey, we'll see you at00. -Mani-Pedi's!

Amanda, the tonic. What have you got?

We have a bigger problem.

I spoke to the investors.

Amanda, the tonic.

Harper, this is serious, okay? You need to come home right now.

I can't do this.

I am in a situation here, Amanda! I need information!

What kind of situation? How crazy is it over there?

I'd say it's getting pretty crazy, don't you think?

Who's that? She looks familiar.

Are you in my office?

-What? -Look around.

Amanda?

Amanda?

Amanda?

Who is this?

It's me, Amanda. Now, focus. The tonic!

No, you're not! That is impossible.

Amanda, you have worked for me for 15 years,

we have mounted 22 productions together

and turned three unknowns

into Broadway stars, but I swear,

if you do not get a grip right now

and help me figure out what is

in this tonic that turned me young,

I will fire you without hesitation or regret.

Now pull yourself together!

Oh, my God. It is you!

Thank you! What have you got?

Um, God. This stuff is really old, Harper.

Um, it was used it for "Rheumatism,

gout, melancholia. And impotence."

What about side-effects?

Well, I've already looked online.

The company's been out of business for decades.

Find out. Does it wear off, and if so, can I take more?

You got it? Find out.

The things I do for my daughter.

Hi.

Hello.

-Debbie Hayworth. -Marco Vitturi.

And you must be related to Mirabella, you look like her.

She looks like me.

We're second cousins, once removed, Aunt Marjorie's side.

Right, right. All right. Listen to this.

"Dear Mirabella,

"you are so beautiful, I want to never sleep or even blink again

"just so I can stare at your

beautifulness forever until I die."

Too over-the-top?

Wow. That is, um...

Yeah, that's really bad.

It's terrible.

But it, it was Mirabella's idea

for us to write our own vows for the wedding and...

I don't know, I have no idea what I'm going to say.

Looks to me like you can't stop figuring out what to say.

True enough.

Love can make you a little crazy sometimes.

That's not your reputation, you know.

Yeah. I know.

Must be really hard to give that up.

Not really.

Mirabella must be very special to you.

She is.

You know, she has this... I mean, she's so...

All right, when we first met, I was like...

God. She's everything.

So it's kind of hard, you know, to...

She has the most beautiful blue eyes...

Yeah, yeah, she got those from her dad.

And this beautiful smile where one

side of her mouth kinda turns up...

It's kind of like yours.

-Like she's got a secret? -Right.

Something... Secret.

And she, she has these beautiful hands.

Ah, dancer's hands.

You're a dancer, too?

It runs in the family.

I'm, I'm sorry, have... Have we met before?

Not in this lifetime.

Are you sure, because...

Oh, I'm sure. You would definitely remember meeting me.

You know, for second cousins, you and Mirabella...

Yes?

It's strange how much you remind me of her.

This is so going to work.

Oh, my God, Noelle, how many

times did you lose your virginity?

I have no idea. But hey,

if the stars align, I might lose it again this weekend!

Seriously, though, M. You're so

lucky to have found a guy like Marco.

He's so hot and rich and hot, and rich. Hello!

Okay, Mirabella, it's your turn.

Oh, no, somebody else go.

But your story's so good!

Okay, she was 16 years old, and she told her mom

she was spending the weekend at a friend's house.

Fine, I'm that friend, bad influence.

And instead we snuck off to Paris!

What? I mean, wow!

And there, after staying up all

night walking the banks of the Seine

hand-in-hand, talking until sunrise,

whispering their life stories to each other...

Noelle, no!

Oh, my God, you have got to be kidding me.

Our dear, sweet, innocent Mirabella,

laid herself down with that hot, sexy French man

and gave up her precious flower!

At 16?

It was very romantic.

By the end of the night, we knew everything about each other,

and we were like two ships

passing. And he was really very sweet.

Wait a second. How the heck did you get out of the country

without your mother knowing?

Her mom was at an out-of-town

preview. Her dad gave us permission.

We told him it was a class trip.

My mom didn't even notice I was gone.

Okay, that is not fair.

She's a very busy woman. A

single mom, a demanding career...

Debbie, my mom is, was and always will be

way too self-centered to think about anybody but herself.

She took you to dance classes three

times a week when you were a kid!

What are you doing?

The sun is very bad for your skin.

So, Mirabella, tell me about this French guy.

Did you think you were in love with him?

Okay. No. I mean,

it was a great experience, but it

wasn't like how it is with Marco.

Right. Marco. "The Playboy Prince."

I'm sorry. I just... I read that.

He retired that title when he met

me. Besides, he's not a real prince.

But he is a real Italian.

I wouldn't worry too much abou that, though.

I mean, not every Italian guy has to have a mistress, right?

Right?

I'm not worried about it. I knew was Marco was the right guy,

right from the very beginning.

I made it through the wilderness

Somehow I made it through

Didn't know how lost I was Until I found you

I was beat, incomplete

I'd been had I was sad and blue

But you made me feel

Yeah, you made me feel

Shiny and new

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

When your heart beats Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy

My fear is fading fast

Been saving it all for you

'Cause only love can last

You're so fine And you're mine

Make me strong Yeah you make me bold

Your love thawed out

Yeah, your love thawed out

What was scared and cold

Ow.

Like a virgin Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

When your heart beats Next to mine

Like a virgin

-Hey! -Hey!

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

When your heart beats Next to mine

Like a virgin

-Hello? -AMANDA Harper?

I need good news, Amanda.

Okay. Okay, okay, the good news.

The trunk that the tonic was found in

was owned by some old vaudeville guy,

Tom Dorian.

I've never heard of him. Is that it?

And now, the not so good news.

The investors found out about Mirabella leaving the show.

No. How?

One of the dancer's spilled. And it gets worse.

They're going to recast her.

-They can't do that. -Yes, they can.

Look, I told the investors, Mirabella

would be back for rehearsal on Monday,

but if Mirabella's not back here for it,

they're going to replace her, and you.

We don't need a new lead. Mirabella is coming back.

And they wouldn't dare replace me.

Why am I scared?

Don't say anything to anybody.

Tell them I will be back on Monday

with our star.

This wedding is not going to happen.

I made it through the wilderness

Somehow I made it through

I didn't know how lost I was

Until I found you

I was beat, incomplete

I'd been had

I was sad and blue

But you made me feel

Yeah, you made me feel

Shiny and new

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

I can't believe you just did that.

I can't believe I just did that. I've had too much to drink.

My gosh! I... I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me.

You know, maybe it was the champagne, or just, like...

No, no, no. You don't understand.

I swore I was through with other women, for good.

Debbie, Mirabella dared me to be a better person

and I thought I could, because she believed in me

more than anyone has in my entire life.

But now this.

I, I don't think I can be the man she wants me to be.

Or, or the man she deserves.

I'm not good enough for her, right?

I'm sorry, Debbie. This,

this isn't your fault. It's mine.

I have to go.

This is it.

Can you believe I'm getting married tomorrow?

No. I really can't.

Debbie, what's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing. I'm fine. It's just...

This is the first time I've seen you in your dress.

You know, it's a little overwhelming.

It seems like just yesterday you were a little girl,

We. We were little girls, dancing

around the backyard together,

pulling up each other's hair.

This is the most beautiful

you've looked in your entire life.

Are you happy?

Yes.

How could I not be?

I'm getting everything that I ever wanted.

But you're giving up your dream to

be a dancer to stay here with Marco.

Debbie, can I...

Can I tell you a secret?

I never wanted to be a dancer.

That was my mom's dream, not mine.

What? Never?

I mean, maybe for a little while, when I was a kid.

I mean, I worshipped my mother.

You remember, she was this big glamorous star,

and everyone loved her. I wanted to be just like her.

For a while.

What happened?

I grew up.

I can't believe you never said anything to your mom.

Well, I didn't want to disappoint her.

When my mom blew her knee out,

she wanted me to be the big star that she couldn't be any more.

And when I met Marco, I finally realized,

I can't live my life for her, no matter how much I love her.

It was like, the first time Marco and I met,

I could hear this little voice telling me,

"This guy's the one."

You know, like the future was talking to me, telling me

I'd already spent a whole lifetime with him.

Does that sound crazy?

No.

It's the most romantic thing I have ever heard.

Oh, you know, I

forgot to thank you for standing in

for Noelle today, Debbie.

I have no idea where she could possibly be.

Debbie, where are you going?

See you at the rehearsal dinner.

Dude, you got to slow down. I can't keep up.

Wait a sec. You said she kissed you?

Why are we freaking out about this?

Because I didn't stop her. And I should have.

I shouldn't have even put myself

in a situation where that could have happened.

I broke my promise to Mirabella.

Dude, you only have

to feel guilty after the wedding.

That's the whole point of getting married.

Sage advice from the guy who defines a long-term relationship

as a three-day weekend in Aspen.

I promised her I was done with other women.

I don't know, maybe I'm just not cut out for monogamy.

Fantastic! I've got the

number of two Swedish flight attendants

who could meet us on your boat in three hours.

What? I'm not judging you, man.

You weren't there.

She was like some fairy creature.

She put a spell on me. She had

these soulful brown eyes like a gypsy.

Soulful brown eyes?

And she smelled like the perfume my mother used to wear.

It was weird.

There was something about her, like magical.

I have to cancel the wedding.

Oh, God, what have I done?

I've got to fix this.

Name?

Ryan Hutton. Father of the bride.

Is Harper Hutton here?

She is not on the list.

About 50. Eyes like a tiger shark.

The unmistakable aroma of Chanel Number Five and pure evil

gives her away.

Not on the list, sir.

Keep an eye out. She'll never be able to stay away.

-I've got your back. -Thanks.

Ryan.

Debbie? Are you in there?

Something's happened. Debbie?

I'm here!

Can you come out? I need to talk to you.

Not feeling well. Why don't you should talk to Noelle?

That's just it. I can't.

She and kissed last night.

Just a sec.

Debbie? What's wrong? I thought,

you know, didn't we sort of bond?

I haven't Noelle seen all day.

She disappeared. I know it was her.

Debbie, are you okay?

Not so good...

I shouldn't go through with it, right?

He kissed another girl. He broke his

promise to me. What choice do I have?

No. No...

Debbie?

I can't go through with it, right?

Hi, this is Amanda. Leave me a message.

Amanda! Where are you? Call me back.

I need to know, does this stuff work more than once?

-Mirabella! -Dad!

I'm so glad you're here.

Oh, Honey!

Is she here?

-Dad... -I'm telling you,

She won't be able to resist.

Honey, what's wrong?

Dad, I think Mom might have been

right about Marco the whole time.

Your mother hasn't been right about anything since 1987

when she said, "Let's name her Mirabella."

-Look who it is. -Hi, Noelle.

-What's wrong with her? -I don't know.

Pre-wedding jitters, I guess. Have you talked to her?

What's that? Sounds like an elephant passing a kidney stone.

-Has to be Debbie. -Who's Debbie?

Mirabella's cousin. Debbie Hayworth.

Never heard of her.

Too many tequila shooters. Debbie, are you all right?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, well then. You need to suck it up

'cause I have got a hangover that would bring down a T-Rex.

After the dance-off, it was all a blur. And where is Mirabella?

So I guess it's over

There's nothing left to say

Take the ring off my finger

And just call it a day

Thought we had forever

But that was yesterday

You're such a liar

Wish I saw it on your face

But you did it so well

Can somebody just tell me how

How can I remember to forget

When my heart just won't let me Make myself unlove you

Tell me that it's not true

I know all the reasons

But I just can't believe them

And pretend we never met

How can I remember to forget

Wish that I could hate you

So I could let you go

Wish I never met The one I want the most

I could fill an ocean With all tears I've cried

Tell me you were joking

Just a dream I had last night

But I'm wide awake

And I want you so much right now

How can I remember to forget

All these emotions And all the plans we made

Like we never happened

Make my heart unbreak

I know it's really over But I just don't know how

How can I remember to forget

When my heart just won't let me Make myself unlove you

And tell me that it's not true

I know all the reasons But I just can't believe them

And pretend we never met

How can I remember to forget

Forget

Ooh, Ooh

Hmm. Chanel number five.

Harper?

Harper.

Oh, my.

This is not going to end well.

What are you doing?

Why aren't you getting dressed for the rehearsal dinner?

I'm leaving.

Marco and Noelle kissed last night, remember?

Moonlight magic. Gag.

My mom was right about him, Debbie.

He's never gonna change.

Have you... Talked to him yet?

-No. I know that I have to... -Don't. Don't!

This could all just be, you know, normal jitters. Cold feet.

It's not just about a kiss, Debbie.

Marco can't...

He can't express his feelings for me.

Every single time it comes up, he clams up.

I just... I think that I made a big mistake.

I don't think that he's ready for marriage.

That is not true. That is not true. Marco loves you.

Look, I know how you're feeling. My ex cheated on me.

-And I bet that you dumped him. -Oh, I did. But...

I didn't dump him because he cheated,

I dumped him because he cheated and lied to me about it.

I gave him the chance to come clean,

but by then it was too late.

That's terrible, Debbie. I'm sorry.

Listen, I speak from experience.

If Marco tells you the truth about what happened,

you will know that it was just a stupid mistake.

And he is so sorry.

Can you handle that?

I don't know.

We have this huge dance in front of everyone

at midnight after the rehearsal dinner.

It's a Vitturi family tradition.

Okay. Well, give him until midnight, then.

Can you do that?

Okay, until midnight.

Good.

How'd you get so smart about this stuff?

Because I have an old soul.

It's gonna be okay, pumpkin.

"Pumpkin"? My mom calls me that.

Does she? That's so funny. My mom calls me that too.

All right, well, I gotta go.

But Debbie, what if he doesn't...

Doesn't tell the truth?

Mr. Hutton. I'm so glad you're here.

Marco.

Oh, I'm sorry I missed your bachelor party.

I hope you behaved yourself.

Well, actually, I messed up.

I got drunk, and I don't know how

it all happened, it's kind of a blur.

But it ended up with me kissing someone who is not Mirabella.

But it didn't mean anything,

and the other girl kind of kissed me, really.

But I made this promise to Mirabella

that I was through with all that.

And now, I don't know what to do.

Sit down.

I want you to look me in the eye and tell me the truth.

Do you love my daughter?

Absolutely. With all my heart, sir.

All right, then. Now, I can help you fix this,

But you have to do exactly what I say.

I know I have to tell her the truth.

No.

Don't tell her the truth.

You'll only end up hurting her, and I don't want that to happen.

Believe it or not, I was once in your shoes.

-And now look at me. -You're divorced.

Exactly. Because I told the truth!

You know, your divorce is why

Mirabella is so worried about me.

-It was really hard on her. -I know it was.

Telling Mirabella the truth won't change anything.

I don't want to lie to her.

If you love her, you have to lie.

You can't tell her the truth, no matter what.

Clear?

All right.

Hey, where ya goin'?

To talk to a ghost.

Oh! Where did that boy go?

Harper.

-It is you! -It is not!

What the hell's going on here?

How can... How can you look like this?

I'm sure I don't know you, so if you'll just excuse me...

-Harper, your ass. -What?

I recognized it in the bathroom.

I know that ass. I fell in love with that ass.

God help me,

I spent the better part of the 80s worshipping that ass.

Really?

It is you.

Hello, Ryan. It's been a while.

-I need a drink. -I'll get it for you. Come.

I also need a priest.

Gotta be a priest around here somewhere, this is Italy.

Where are all the priests?

Oh, my God. Will you stop being so dramatic?

I have a perfectly reasonable explanation.

There is nothing reasonable about this, or you.

Okay, just take a deep breath.

Don't... Don't tell me what to do.

Where are you going?

To find a cop. This can't be legal.

Wh... What happened?

You're going to be very angry.

Distinct possibility, if you're involved in any way.

My knee was the size of a grapefruit, Ryan.

And... And there was this tonic, and it is magical.

And I took a sip and I turned young.

Amanda found it in the back of the theater.

Lord knows how long that's been there, but I had no choice.

So in a way, it, it's kind of like fate.

And I hated Marco, I hated him

because I thought he was some sort of skirt-chaser.

But it turns out he really loves

her, and she really loves him back,

and okay, I admit, I originally came

here to stop the wedding, at first.

But then, you know, as it turns out,

-I, um, I kissed him... -Of course.

And now it's all gone terribly wrong somehow.

Well, then, you haven't lost your touch.

This isn't a joke, Ryan.

Seriously, Harper, how could you

do something like this to our daughter?

I know, I know, it's terrible.

-Are you mad? -Hold on.

-Did you drug me? -Of course, I drugged you.

You were gonna drop the dime on me.

Plus, I really need your help with this.

You drugged me!

I was thinking about our daughter!

Oh, sure you were!

Wha...

Right.

Ryan?

-Ryan!

-Ryan. Ryan.

What did you do to me this time?

Whose voice is that?

Is that... Hey, that's me!

Hey, that's me.

Why do I sound so weird, Harper?

Oh, my god. Harper, this...

Is a miracle.

I know, I know, you're young,

I've been there, I've done that. Listen to me.

Yeah! I have ruined our daughter's one chance at love.

So I need you to help me fix it.

Yeah, well, you can check that off your to-do list,

-because I already fixed it. -What do you mean?

Well, Marco spilled the whole can of beans.

I told him no witness, no crime. Just deny till he dies.

It's all good.

No. Ryan! No...

Ryan!

Mirabella overhead Marco talking about the kiss.

-He has to confess. -Uh-oh.

Yeah. I told her that if he tells her the truth,

that means he loves her and she can trust him.

So if he doesn't tell her,

she'll just think he's trying to cover it up

and that means he'll cheat on her again. We have to fix this.

Wow. You know, to see your mind at work

is, at once, fascinating and repugnant.

Oh, my God. You are completely

useless. I remember why I divorced you.

Oh! It was not a divorce.

It was an exorcism!

-You cheated on me! -One time! Mid-life crisis.

And then you lied about it.

And when I told the truth, you kicked me out!

We don't have time for this.

Where could Marco be? Think, Ryan.

Think? See, I can't think because

I'm 30 years younger than I was 20 minutes ago!

I can't believe you got me into this! Wait... Yes, I can.

Wait up!

Okay, look, I just read this guy's diary on the plane,

Oh my God, I hope I'm not too late.

Okay, look, whatever happens, do not take a third dose.

Mirabella.

Wow. You look...

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

-What's wrong with you? -Nothing.

So we're both good. We're great.

Look...

I don't want any secrets between us.

That's not the way to start a marriage.

I totally agree.

So... You would tell me the truth about anything stupid

you might have done in the past?

Distant, recent, whatever?

Well, um, Mirabella,

what I'm trying to say is that, well, I...

Wait! He's gonna tell her.

Um...

Of course, I would.

If I had something, you know, to confess.

Damn.

Mirabella...

I've seriously messed this up.

And how.

Okay, what's our plan?

"Our" plan?

Look what I can do!

How long does stuff last?

-Would you stop it, please?

And help me? We only have until

midnight when the rehearsal dinner ends.

I can't help it. This stuff really works, Harper.

Of course it works. It's...

Oh, my gosh, the tonic! I left it at the bar!

No! No, no! Where is it? I don't see it.

-What?

Oh. What happened?

Oh, Aunt Birdie.

She must have chugged the whole bottle.

What's that gonna do to her?

Ugh. I don't want to know.

Aunt Birdie?

-Oh, my God. -What?

There goes great-aunt Birdie.

Proud matriarch of the Hayworth line.

-Wow. She's got some moves. -Runs in the family.

You have really screwed this up.

So, I need you to remember that I am...

-Hey. I am Debbie, and you are? -Angus.

-Angus? -Angus.

Okay, we only have until

midnight to get this fixed, Angus.

Hey. I know it goes completely against your nature

and ever fiber of your being is

screaming at you to do the opposite,

but you have to tell the truth.

Let Marco off the hook for this kiss, Harper.

Tell him you kissed him.

He's gotta understand none of this was his fault.

It's the only way to fix this mess.

You're right.

God, I hate it when that happens.

No, I'm serious. You look amazing.

Oh, the bride-to-be is here.

Mirabella.

-Hey. -Hi.

Thanks for ruining my life. I thought we were best friends.

Excuse me? Back up a sec.

Okay, you can just drop the act,

because I know that you and Marco kissed last night.

What are you talking about?

I heard him and Scott talking about it under the bridge.

Uh, "soulful brown eyes, full of life, embracing the moment."

Mirabella, I was really drunk

last night, but I wasn't that drunk.

"Mirabella, you're so lucky!

"He's so hot and rich, and hot and rich!"

Okay, fine! I was plastered.

After I left you guys, I...

I hit up the bachelor party...

And I can't remember much after that.

Convenient.

We've been best friends since

seventh grade. I would never hurt you.

Besides, I'm not the only one around here with brown eyes.

-The jig is up! -No, no, no!

She can't find out it was me!

What do we do?

We have to convince her

that there's no way Debbie would have kissed Marco.

Okay, how do we do that?

-Hey! Hey, hey... -Hey, wait.

We lay it on thick.

Come on.

No. No!

So we're back in the club

With our bodies rockin' from side to side

Side, side to side

Thank God the week is done

I feel like a zombie gone back to life

Back, back to life

Hands up

Yeah, suddenly we all got our hands up

No control of my body

Ain't I seen you before?

I think I'd remember those eyes, eyes, eyes,

Eyes, ey-ey-eyes 'cause baby tonight

The DJ got us falling in love again

Yeah, baby tonight

The DJ got us falling in love again

So dance, dance

Like it's the last, last night of your life, life

Gonna get you right

'Cause baby tonight

The DJ got us falling in love again

Keep downing drinks like there's no tomorrow

There's just right now, now, now

Now, now, now, now

Gonna set the roof on fire

Gonna burn this, uh, uh, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Hands up, when the music drops

We both put our hands up

Put your hands on my body

Swear I've seen you before

I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes

-Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes -'Cause baby tonight

The DJ got us falling in love again

Yeah, baby tonight

The DJ got us falling in love again

So dance, dance

Like it's the last, last night of your life, life

'Cause baby tonight

The DJ got us falling in love again

Again, again, again-gain

Oh, DJ got us falling in love again

Whoo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Amazing!

-No, don't... -Hello?

Dad, where have you been?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Hey, honey. What's up?

Where are you?

-Uh... -Who is that guy?

And how did I miss him?

Upstairs. Uh, I'm...

Jet lagged.

You sound weird. Are you okay?

I do feel very strange right now.

I'm not myself at all.

I'm gonna go find Marco.

-Dad... -What is it, honey?

I'm so confused.

I don't think I can go through with this wedding.

Mirabella, Marco loves you.

It's just that mom said that he would never be faithful to me.

And then Debbie said the way I could find that if he would be

is if he confessed to kissing Noelle last night,

because that would mean that he's sorry, and he didn't.

And I think that it speaks to a larger character flaw,

and on top if it all, he can't even

tell me how he feels about me.

Honey, listen.

People are human. They make mistakes.

I made a lot of mistakes with your mom.

And she definitely punished me for it.

But I never stopped loving her through any of it.

Even asset seizure?

I guess all the lawyers in the world weren't able

to change the way I feel about her.

So then why did you cheat on her?

Because I was selfish...

And lonely and... Insecure.

Your mom was a real star, honey.

When she blew out her knee, I wasn't sad. I was thrilled.

I thought, finally,

I don't have to share her with the rest of the world.

Yeah, but that didn't happen. She went right back to work

and became the star choreographer,

the one everyone wanted to work with, everyone adored.

And there I was, still nobody,

Holding her coat at parties.

Dad, I had no idea.

What I did to her was the biggest mistake of my life.

I think I must have always hoped for a second chance.

But I never thought I'd get it.

I never felt I deserved it.

After you cheated on mom, she couldn't trust you any more.

And now I know why.

-And I can't trust Marco. -No.

He loves you, honey.

Really?

Where's the proof?

He can't even talk to me any more.

I can't go through with this wedding. I'm going home.

Mirabella!

Damn.

Oh, no! Not now!

Hello?

Mrs. Hutton?

What are you doing here?

I know I'm not supposed to be here.

If you came to stop the wedding, you're too late.

The wedding's not happening.

I know. I spoke to Debbie. She told me everything.

-What? W-- Why? -We're very close.

You were right about me all along.

I broke my promise to her, and then I lied about it.

-When Mirabella finds out... -Marco, shut up.

I flew all the way here to tell you.

I know Debbie. I've known her all her life.

She's a rare and beautiful creature.

Incomparable, actually, one of a kind.

But she has a problem letting go.

She loves Mirabella.

They used to be very close, when they were younger.

Really?

Debbie pushed herself on you.

She wanted to prove that you weren't good enough.

But why would she do that? She doesn't even know me.

She...

Had her heart broken a long time ago.

She loved a man more than she wanted to,

and it made her feel out of control, and...

And he cheated on her.

I don't know, I guess she just

stopped believing in love after that.

And when Mirabella met you...

The playboy prince? It was like deja vu.

Debbie expected the worst from you,

And when the worst didn't happen on its own, she made it happen.

She made a terrible mistake, and she is so sorry, Marco.

I know I never approved of you,

but I was wrong. I should have given you a chance.

You're a good man.

Don't give up on Mirabella.

I think she might have given up on me.

Go. Look for her. Tell her how much you love her.

I don't think she'll believe me.

Prove it to her.

Find a way.

I'll try.

Oh, Ryan, look at you.

The tonic didn't last very long, did it?

Probably from trying to keep up with you on the dance floor

like back in the day.

I knew I still had it in me.

Now I have proof.

-Oh, my gosh. Proof! -Wha...

What?

What are we doing?

We're looking for a book. A big book.

-What's in the book? -Marco's wedding vows.

We have to find it.

-What the hell are you doing? -I'm trying to hide you.

Ryan, they're on Marco's side. They don't even know me.

Oh. I didn't think of that. I'm sorry.

Apology accepted. Actually,

you're still a pretty good kisser.

You're not bad yourself.

It's locked! Why is it locked?

So, how important is it to get into this greenhouse?

The future happiness of our daughter may depend on it.

All right. Get out of the way.

-That was a bad idea. -Oh, my gosh. Are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

-I'm so sorry, Harper. -For what?

I don't know. For all of it.

Everything I didn't do, everything I did.

Well, it was a long time ago.

Ah, not so long.

Ever since we split up, I feel like

I've been living someone else's life.

I love you, Harper. I miss you.

I want to come home.

I love you too, you idiot.

I always have.

Now let's finish this, for Mirabella.

-Which ones are the vows?

I think all of them.

-Grab as many as you can. -And do what?

We have to find Mirabella. You have to show these to her.

So you can prove that Marco really loves her.

-You think that's gonna work? -It has to.

-Come on. -All right. Right behind you.

Where are you going?

Where does it look like I'm going?

Wait. I have to tell you...

What?

Go ahead, Marco, tell me how you really feel about me.

You're... You look... Um...

Well, um... Um...

Wait. Give me a second.

I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Whenever I'm around you lately, I can't speak.

I know. All right? About the kiss.

So there's nothing left to say.

No, but there is.

I love you so much.

I know what I did was wrong.

I should have never let it happen.

-So then why did you? -I don't know.

But all I can think about since it

happened is how much I hurt you.

Oh... This way.

Come on, come on.

-So beautiful... -This is crazy.

-I want to never... -Do you hear that?

What?

Just talk to me.

Tell me right now in your own words why you want to marry me.

It's them.

Wait!

What is this?

Here, take some.

"to Mirabella, on our wedding day."

Are these... Your vows?

I want to tell you but there's so many words to say

I want to tell you but the words get in my way

It's all there on the tip of your tongue

My heart's so full, brain goes numb

So I'll just ask you, do you? I do

-Me too -So I'll just ask you

-Do you? I do -Me too

I promise I will be there

As the years go by

And I'll be faithful to you till the day I die

Just to have and to hold your hand

Makes me the luckiest man

So now I ask you, do you?

-I do -Me too

So now I ask you, do you?

I do

So many pieces of paper

Crumpled up and thrown away

So many "I'll do it later's"

-I gotta get the nerve -Gotta get the nerve

Why such crazy behavior?

Gonna say my vows today

I can't wait

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

-Do you? -I do

Me too

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

-Do you? -I do

Me too

We did it!

You did it.

You are still one amazing woman.

-Still? -Always.

Oh, Harper, thank God!

Amanda!

I have been driving around these back roads for hours.

This place is impossible to find.

What are you doing...

-Move away from that bottle. -Why? What...

Harper, the third dose is permanent.

-Permanent? -Yes, as in "forever."

And that's a bad thing because...

What?

I mean, this is... We're talking about immortality here.

This is an unimaginable gift. To be young forever?

You can't just throw this away without even considering it.

No, no, no. It's not a gift, it's a curse.

There's only one dose left here.

You were going to be the biggest star Broadway had ever seen.

The stage, the fans, the spotlight...

And it all would have happened for you, except...

My knee.

You can have that all back now.

You can be the new star of your show.

I could, couldn't I?

And you really want that for me?

I just want to make you happy, Harper.

That's all I've ever wanted from the first day we met.

I've just never been very good at it.

So... Yes.

If this is what makes you happy, this is what I want.

No, no, no, no. Don't be crazy, Harper.

You will lose everything.

Can you really say goodbye to Mirabella forever?

Never see your grandkids?

Come on. You can't give all that up.

It's your choice, Harper.

You were the most handsome man I'd ever seen.

Girl, I cannot believe that you're getting married.

I know.

But you look so hot!

Thank you.

Mom.

What are you doing here?

Hi, Mrs. Hutton.

I'm gonna leave you two to talk.

I know. I'm banned.

But I've had time to think about it.

I've just been so wrong about everything.

I was... I was wrong about Marco.

Oh, so wrong. He's a wonderful guy.

And he loves you, and love is what really matters.

I mean, everything else fades away, but love lasts.

And I'm so proud of you for knowing that,

and following your heart.

You still mad at me?

Can I come to your wedding?

I couldn't do it without you.

Oh!

Oh, I love you so much, pumpkin.

I love you more than you'll ever know.

How did I ever get such a smart girl?

I don't know. I guess I had a good teacher.

Wait. What about the show?

Today is about celebrating your dreams, not mine.

Today my daughter is getting married! Ha!

Who are you and what have you done with my mother?

Oh... It's just a brand-new me.

Oh. You have got to see cousin Debbie.

-She reminds me so much of you. -Really?

Then she must be quite a girl.

Come on.

You may now kiss the bride.

Hearts go astray

Leaving hurt when they go

I went away

Just when you needed me so

Filled with regret

I come back beggin' you

Forgive, forget

Where's the love we once knew?

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize

-Here I stand with my -Everlasting love

Need you by my side, got to be my bride

-You'll never be denied -Everlasting love

From the very start, open up your heart

Be a lasting part of everlasting love

Believe

Believe in everlasting love

Oh, oh

Hearts go astray

Leaving hurt when they go

I went away

Just when you needed me so

Filled with regret

I come back beggin' you

Forgive, forget

Where's the love we once knew?

Where life's river flows no one really knows

Till someone's there to show the way to lasting love

Like the sun that shines

Endlessly it shines

You always will be mine, it's eternal love

Whatever loves are gone ours will be strong

We have our very own everlasting love

Oh

Oh

Believe in love

This love will last forever

This love will last forever

This love will last forever

This love will last forever

This love will last forever

This love will last forever

This love will last forever

This love will last forever

'Cause baby tonight

Yeah, baby tonight

The DJ got us falling in love again
