- MORNING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

- GOOD MORNING, LORI. - GOOD MORNING, KATHERINE.

- I'M ON MY WAY TO COURT FOR THE MARTIN CASE.

OH, NO, JACK WANTED ME TO REVIEW THE MCQUE CASE.

- I'M GETTING THE FILES. AND...THERE. EMAILED.

AND DON'T FORGET, YOU HAVE MRS. BENNETT

FIRST THING TOMORROW. - RIGHT.

I'LL GO OVER EVERYTHING AFTER COURT.

WAIT, I'M SUPPOSED TO MEET MARCIE,

AND THEN WE HAVE DINNER.

WELL, WHO NEEDS SLEEP?

- THE MARTIN CASE? - THANK YOU.

- I AM NOT GIVING UP MY BASEBALL CARDS.

I'VE BEEN COLLECTING THOSE SINCE I WAS A KID.

AND MY WIFE, SHE WOULDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN BABE RUTH AND A BABY RUTH.

- SHE'S DOING THIS AS LEVERAGE.

SHE'S NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR BASEBALL CARDS,

BUT SHE IS INTERESTED IN THE SUMMER HOME.

SHE'S NOT GETTING EITHER. - ALL RISE.

BE SEATED.

GOOD MORNING.

I HOPE EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO CONSIDER

THEIR LAST REQUESTS BEFORE I MAKE A FINAL RULING.

COUNSELOR. - YES, YOUR HONOR.

THERE IS A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN

LEFT OUT OF THE DIVISION OF ASSETS--

A RATHER LARGE, VALUABLE BASEBALL CARD COLLECTION.

- OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

THE COLLECTION WAS INHERITED BY MY CLIENT

BEFORE HIS MARRIAGE, WHICH EXCLUDES MRS. MARTIN

FROM CLAIMING ANY OWNERSHIP TO IT.

- MY CLIENT ADDED SEVERAL VERY VALUABLE CARDS

TO THE COLLECTION.

HOWEVER, IF MR. MARTIN IS ATTACHED TO THE COLLECTION,

MRS. MARTIN WILL CONSIDER TRADING THIS ASSET FOR ANOTHER.

- LIKE THE SUMMER HOME? - WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT

A FAIR TRADE. - YOUR HONOR.

MR. MARTIN'S CORPORATION RECENTLY TOOK OWNERSHIP

OF THE COLLECTION IN QUESTION.

PER CALIFORNIA STATE CORPORATE PROPERTY LAWS,

THIS EXPLICITLY EXCLUDES MRS. MARTIN

FROM CLAIMING THE COLLECTION OR ANY INCREASE IN VALUE.

NOW, I PROPOSE THAT THIS ASSET AND ALL OTHER ASSETS

BE DIVIDED AS PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON,

AND THAT WE FINALIZE THE DISSOLUTION OF THIS MARRIAGE.

- I AGREE, COUNSELOR.

- HEY, MARCIE. - HEY, KAT.

- HEY, CHUCK. - HEY, KATHERINE.

- WE HAVE A VANILLA LATTE READY FOR YOU.

- OH, BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.

SORRY I'M SO LATE. I WAS STUCK IN COURT.

- CHUCK, I'LL BE GONE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.

- GOT IT. - SO DID YOU WIN?

- WE WON, BUT IT WASN'T PRETTY.

IT JUST NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME

HOW WIDE-EYED AND OPTIMISTIC COUPLES START OUT

AND HOW MEAN-SPIRITED AND VINDICTIVE THEY END UP.

- MAYBE THEY WERE NEVER RIGHT

FOR ONE ANOTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

- MAYBE.

BUT IF THEY'D HAD A PRENUP,

THEN THEY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE CHANCE

TO BE SO NASTY TO ONE ANOTHER.

- NOT THIS AGAIN.

- MARCIE, YOU'VE GOT A BUSINESS TO PROTECT.

OKAY, I'M SORRY.

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

- I HATE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

- BUT TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT A PRENUP AS BEING UNROMANTIC.

IT'S SIMPLY PRACTICAL. IT'S LIKE CAR INSURANCE.

YOU DON'T PLAN ON DRIVING YOUR CAR INTO A FIRE HYDRANT,

BUT IF YOU DO, YOU'RE COVERED. - OKAY.

I'M NEVER DRIVING WITH YOU AGAIN.

KAT, I KNOW YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO PROTECT ME,

BUT I LOVE RICK WITH ALL OF MY HEART,

AND GETTING A PRENUP FEELS LIKE

I'M SETTING OUR MARRIAGE UP TO FAIL.

NOW, CAN YOU PLEASE SLIP OUT OF DIVORCE ATTORNEY MODE

AND INTO BEST FRIEND/ROOMMATE/ MAID OF HONOR MODE?

- YES. - GOOD.

'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR DORA.

- IF SHE'S ALL-KNOWING, SHOULDN'T SHE KNOW

WE'RE GONNA BE LATE?

- SHE'S NOT ALL-KNOWING. - NO KIDDING.

- SHE KNOWS THINGS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN.

SHE IS VERY INSIGHTFUL.

- SHE GIVES MANICURES.

- THE DAY I MET RICK,

SHE TOLD ME I'D MEET THE MAN

WHO WILL ETERNALLY SET MY HEART ON FIRE.

NOW TRY TO TELL ME SHE DOESN'T KNOW THINGS.

- ALL I NEED FOR HER TO KNOW ABOUT IS MY DRY CUTICLES.

- HAVE A SEAT. [laughs]

SO LET ME SEE THOSE NAILS.

WHOO! SO TELL DORA.

HOW ARE THE WEDDING PLANS COMING ALONG?

- OKAY, I GUESS.

I'M JUST FOCUSING ON THE PRIZE: THE HONEYMOON.

WE'RE GOING TO PARIS. - OOH, LA, LA.

- BUT DORA KNOWS THAT, RIGHT? - DON'T MIND KAT.

SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU PREDICTED WHEN I'D MEET RICK.

- MOST PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE.

IT TAKES AN OPEN HEART.

- I BELIEVE IN FACTS.

- BUT THERE IS A MATCH FOR EVERYONE.

- DO YOU SEE A MATCH FOR KATHERINE?

- MARCIE, DON'T. - YES.

DORA SEES A MATCH,

EVEN FOR KATHERINE.

I SEE...

I SEE...

IT'S COMING TO ME.

I'M FEELING IT.

OH. HE IS...

MICHAEL. - NO WAY.

THAT IS SO SPECIFIC.

- I'M MEETING A MICHAEL. WHEN?

CAN I PENCIL HIM IN? MY SCHEDULE'S KINDA PACKED.

- MICHAEL. - EXACTLY.

- TO THE FUTURE MISTER AND MISSUS, CHEERS.

- NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. THIS DINNER IS FOR YOU AND KAT.

A THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR BEST MAN AND MAID OF HONOR.

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU TWO FINALLY MET.

- AH, GUYS. WE APPRECIATE IT.

CHEERS. - AND I REALLY APPRECIATE

A HOME-COOKED MEAL.

STILL HAVEN'T UNPACKED MY KITCHEN YET.

- TOM, WHEN DID YOU MOVE BACK INTO TOWN?

- IT'LL BE A MONTH NEXT WEEK.

- [laughs] - I KNOW, I KNOW.

SO KATHERINE, WHAT KIND OF LAW DO YOU PRACTICE?

- SHE'S A DIVORCE LAWYER.

SHE HELPS PEOPLE BREAK UP 70 HOURS A WEEK.

- OH, COME ON, HON.

SOMETIMES, SHE HELPS PEOPLE STAY TOGETHER.

RIGHT? - NO, NOT REALLY.

- OH.

I THINK THAT WOULD GET A LITTLE DEPRESSING AFTER A WHILE.

- ACTUALLY, PEOPLE ARE SO RELIEVED

TO FINALLY BE RID OF THEIR SPOUSES,

THEY CAN'T THANK ME ENOUGH.

- DUDE, YOU DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHE DOES.

- ARE YOU A MATCHMAKER?

[laughter]

- NO. HE'S A NOVELIST.

- I WROTE A BOOK A COUPLE YEARS AGO,

AND IT DID PRETTY WELL, SO I WROTE ANOTHER ONE.

- TOM, SHE ONLY READS MURDER MYSTERIES AND LAW JOURNALS.

SHE HATES GUSHY LOVE STORIES.

- OH, OKAY. - I DON'T HATE LOVE STORIES.

- KAT, WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING TODAY

HOW YOU'RE NOT A BELIEVER.

BUT THAT MAY CHANGE SOON.

- NO. - DORA MADE A PREDICTION.

- OOH. YOU SAW DORA.

- WHO'S DORA? - A CHARLATAN.

- MY MANICURIST.

SHE KNEW THAT RICK AND I WOULD FALL IN LOVE, AND NOW SHE SEES THAT FOR KAT.

- REALLY? - I KNOW.

SHE'S LIKE A MATCHMAKER.

SHE SAW KAT'S MR. RIGHT.

HIS NAME IS MICHAEL.

- [shrieks] - OOH.

- DO YOU NOT LIKE ANY "MICHAELs"?

IS THAT THE PROBLEM? - [sighing]

- HE'LL PROBABLY LET YOU CALL HIM "MIKE."

- [laughs]

- MIKEY?

- [sighs]

SO HOW'S MY DAY LOOK?

- IT'S PACKED, BUT PRETTY FRONT-LOADED.

YOU MAY GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE 8:00.

- HM. NICE.

- 9:30 CALL WITH OPPOSING COUNSEL ON THE GREENWALT CASE.

11:00 MEETING WITH ANNE ABOUT THE DALTON CASE.

MR. KING AT 12:15, MRS. SWEENEY,

A NEW CLIENT AT 1:45,

MRS. HILNER-REISMAN-FORD AT 3:30.

- REMEMBER WHEN SHE WAS JUST MRS. HILNER-REISMAN?

THAT WAS A PRETTY CUT AND DRY SPLIT.

- [knocks at door] - GOOD MORNING, JACK.

- KATHERINE. GREAT WORK ON THE MARTIN CASE.

- THANK YOU. - IN FACT, WE'D LIKE YOU

TO TAKE OVER THE BARNWORTH CASE.

- GREAT. - THEY'LL BE HERE AT 4:30.

- OKAY. - YOU KNOW THAT LITTLE CHAT

WE HAD LAST WEEK?

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND I THINK YOU'LL BE

ONE OF THE YOUNGEST PARTNERS THIS FIRM HAS EVER SEEN.

- PARTNER. - I KNOW.

MR. BARNWORTH HAS AGREED TO GIVE MRS. BARNWORTH

THE HOMES IN MALIBU, SEDONA, AND FLORIDA.

IN RETURN, MR. BARNWORTH WOULD RETAIN

MRS. BARNWORTH'S SHARES IN BARNWORTH-BOYD.

- NO, I CHANGED MY MIND.

- MRS. BARNWORTH IS NOT INTERESTED

IN RELINQUISHING HER SHARES UNLESS MR. BARNWORTH

GIVES HER THE ANTIQUE CAR COLLECTION AS WELL.

- WHAT? - THE VALUE OF THE REAL ESTATE

FAR EXCEEDS THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE SHARES.

- AND WHAT OF MY VALUE?

I KEPT HIS HOME FOR 32 YEARS.

I WANT THE CARS. - THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

YOU DON'T EVEN DRIVE A STICK SHIFT.

- WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DROVE ONE OF THEM?

YOU JUST WASH AND POLISH THEM. - MARCIE'S ON LINE TWO.

- CAN YOU TAKE A MESSAGE?

- SHE SAID IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

- I TAKE CARE OF MY VALUABLES.

- WELL, CLEARLY THAT'S NOT TRUE, OR WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.

- MARCIE, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF-- - REMEMBER MY FRIEND AMY?

- WHAT? - WELL, I WAS CHATTING

WITH HER EARLIER, AND-- - NO, MARCIE.

I'M WITH CLIENTS. - I JUST WANNA KNOW

IF THAT'S OKAY. 7:00 AT MY COFFEE BAR?

- YEAH, YEAH, SURE. WHATEVER.

- SHE SAID YES.

SHE'S GONNA GO OUT WITH YOUR BROTHER, MICHAEL.

[bell on door rings]

- KATHERINE. HI.

- HI. - I'M--I'M MICHAEL CRAIG.

IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU.

- HELLO, MICHAEL.

YOU--YOU'RE HERE TO MEET ME?

- WELL, OF COURSE I AM.

- WHOA. - PARDON?

- UH, IT'S JUST-- [laughs]

HOW ARE YOU HERE?

I MEAN, I KNOW HOW YOU'RE HERE.

YOU--YOU WALKED IN, YOU SAT AT THIS TABLE,

BUT HOW DID YOU COME HERE TO MEET ME?

IT JUST SEEMS KIND OF REMARKABLE, RIGHT?

- WELL, MARCIE SET THIS UP.

YOU KNOW MY SISTER, AMY?

- OH.

RIGHT, MARCIE. OF COURSE.

JUST EXCUSE ME FOR ONE SECOND.

- YEAH.

- HI.

- HI. UM, WHO IS THAT?

- IT'S THE DATE I TOLD YOU ABOUT.

- WHEN DID YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT?

- TODAY, WHEN I CALLED YOU. REMEMBER?

I SAID I WAS TALKING TO MY FRIEND AMY,

AND SHE MENTIONED HE BROTHER MIKE, WHO'S SINGLE.

- MARCIE, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY HECTIC MEETING.

I'M SORRY. I WASN'T EVEN LISTENING TO YOU.

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU INTERRUPTED ME FOR?

- YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT VERY IMPORTANT.

IT'S JUST YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND, FAMILY, NICE HAPPINESS.

- I HAD THE LONGEST DAY.

I REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE BEING ON A DATE RIGHT NOW.

- IT'S JUST COFFEE.

CHUCK. - COMING.

- RELAX. YOU LOOK GREAT.

A LITTLE CAFFEINE, A LITTLE SUGAR,

YOU'LL PERK RIGHT UP.

JUST TALK TO HIM.

HE'S A REALLY NICE GUY.

SMILE.

YEAH.

- YEAH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

SO INSTEAD, THE CLIENT COMPLETELY CHANGES THEIR MIND

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE PRESENTATION.

SO NOW, WE HAVE TO START OVER AND WORK ALL NIGHT LONG.

- YEAH, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I WILL BE PREPARED FOR TRIAL, AND THEN--BOOM--

MY CLIENT OR THE SOON-TO-BE-EX WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN

DECIDE THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER SATISFIED WITH THE TERMS

THAT EVERYBODY ALREADY AGREED UPON.

- I KNOW. I KNOW. - [laughs]

- HONESTLY, IT'S LIKE WITH JOBS LIKE OURS,

IT'S LIKE WE NEED SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO

AT THE END OF A LONG DAY. - I AGREE.

I LIKE TO HOP INTO A BUBBLE BATH, READ A GOOD BOOK.

I JUST STAY IN THERE UNTIL I GET ALL PRUNE-Y.

[both laugh]

- OH. - UH, WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RELAX?

- I AM INTO VENTRILOQUISM.

- [laughs]

RIGHT. WHA--WHAT IS IT, REALLY?

- [sighs]

KATHERINE, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET MIKEY, JR.

- MIKEY, JR.?

- HANDSOME LITTLE FELLOW, ISN'T HE?

HE'S MY LITTLE BUDDY.

SAY HELLO TO KATHERINE.

HELLO, KATHERINE.

[chuckles]

HE'S GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A LAZY EYE, BUT--

UH, THERE WE GO.

HE'S BACK. - WOW.

- YEAH, YEAH, HE'S MY GUY, AND--

AND WE DRESS ALIKE. - I CAN SEE THAT.

SO WHO PICKED OUT THE HAT? - HE DID.

SO ANYWAY, LET ME THINK OF A JOKE,

IF I CAN THINK OF ONE.

I'VE BEEN FEELING SO DENSE LATELY.

[laughs]

- VENTRILOQUISM, MARCIE.

VENTRILOQUISM.

[both laugh]

WHAT KIND OF MAN BRINGS A DOLL ON A DATE?

- [snickers]

- OH, IT'S HILARIOUS.

- I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST--

WELL, IT SEEMED SO PERFECT.

NEXT TIME, I WILL BE MORE DISCERNING.

- NEXT TIME? NO.

THERE'S NOT GONNA BE A NEXT TIME.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MICHAEL IS YOUR DESTINY.

- PLEASE, DORA IS A KOOK,

AND THIS IS ALL NONSENSE.

- WELL, RICK AND I, WE-- - AND IF, FOR SOME REASON,

IT'S TRUE, DON'T YOU THINK THAT I'M MEANT

TO FIND HIM ON MY OWN WITHOUT YOUR HELP?

- SO YOU DO BELIEVE?

- I BELIEVE I JUST HAD THE STRANGEST FIRST DATE

OF MY LIFE THANKS TO YOU AND DORA.

- HEY, IT WAS A FIRST DATE,

YOUR FIRST FIRST DATE IN MONTHS.

- NOT HELPING. - ALL I'M SAYING IS

YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.

ONE MICHAEL DOWN.

ACTUALLY, 1 1/2 IF YOU COUNT MIKEY, JR.

[both laugh]

POPCORN?

- [sighs]

- YES, SIR, LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET HER.

MAX BARNWORTH IS ON LINE TWO.

HE THINKS HIS WIFE KEYED ONE OF HIS CARS.

- I REALLY HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.

I'M ALREADY CRAZY LATE.

JUST TELL HIM I LEFT EARLY FOR A LUNCH MEETING

AND THAT I'LL CALL HIM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

[indistinct chatter]

- HEY, LADY, CAN I GIVE YOU A RIDE?

- EXCUSE ME?

OH, HEY. I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT WE WERE MEETING AT THE CAFE AROUND THE CORNER.

- YEAH, WE WERE. I HAD ANOTHER IDEA.

- OKAY. - YOU'LL LIKE IT, I PROMISE.

- THANK YOU. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

[toy squeaks]

[sighs] MY DOG IS THE BIGGEST SLOB.

- [laughs] - LEAVES HIS TOYS EVERYWHERE.

[chuckles]

- IT'S REALLY PRETTY HERE.

- YEAH.

I COME HERE TO WRITE A LOT.

AND I FIGURE YOU WORK 80 HOURS A WEEK.

YOU COULD PROBABLY USE THE FRESH AIR.

- WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT. [laughs]

OKAY.

WHERE SHOULD WE START? - [laughs]

WHAT WAS THAT, SIX SECONDS OF UNINTERRUPTED RELAXATION?

- YOU REALIZE I'M A LAWYER. I LITERALLY BILL MY TIME.

[laughs] I CAN'T JUST DO NOTHING.

- NAH, THAT'S GOOD.

YOU ARE A STRICT TASKMASTER.

I SHOULD KEEP YOU ON SPEED DIAL WHEN I HAVE WRITER'S BLOCK.

- YES, I'LL HAPPILY NAG YOU NEXT TIME

YOU'RE BEHIND ON A DEADLINE, BUT FOR RIGHT NOW,

WE HAVE A REHEARSAL DINNER TO PLAN.

WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS? - WELL, I DID THINK

IT'D BE NICE IF AT THE DINNER,

WE BOTH SHARE SOME STORIES

ABOUT OUR FRIENDSHIPS WITH RICK AND MARCIE.

- LIKE A SPEECH? - BASICALLY, YEAH.

- NO, I DON'T DO THAT. I'M NOT GOOD AT THAT.

- YOU TALK FOR A LIVING. - I ARGUE FOR A LIVING.

- AH. OKAY, OKAY.

FAIR ENOUGH.

HOW ABOUT FOR NOW, WE START WITH THE EASIER STUFF?

LIKE WHERE ARE WE THROWING THIS PARTY?

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT ARE WE GONNA EAT?

- THAT, I HAVE IDEAS ABOUT.

[laughs]

UH, RICK AND MARCIE LOVE THIS PLACE.

THEY ORDER TAKEOUT FROM THERE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK.

AND MARCIE WANTED TO USE THIS ONE BAKERY FOR THE CAKE,

BUT IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE, BUT I FIGURE

A COUPLE DOZEN CUPCAKES HAS TO BE CHEAPER

THAN A WEDDING CAKE. - YEAH, THAT ALL SOUNDS AWESOME.

- GREAT. FOOD.

DING. both: DONE.

- WE ARE ON TOP OF IT.

- SO HOW'S MICHAEL?

- I'M SORRY, WHO? - MICHAEL?

- UH, I'D PREFER NOT TO GET STARTED ON THAT.

[laughs] I CAN'T DO NICE THINGS

FOR MARCIE WHILE THINKING ABOUT THE MONSTER SHE'S CREATED.

- UH-OH.

HOW MANY MICHAELS HAVE THERE BEEN SO FAR?

- [sighs]

TECHNICALLY, THERE'S ONLY BEEN 1 1/2 MICHAELS.

YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW.

- OKAY, IF WE CINCH THE BODICE IN

A LITTLE BIT MORE, IT'LL FIT SNUG LIKE YOU LIKE.

- SO I KNOW YOU SAID NO MORE SETUPS,

BUT I BELIEVE IT IS MY DUTY TO FIND YOUR MICHAEL.

- OH, REALLY? HOW SO?

- KAT, EVERY DAY, I SERVE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE,

AND MOST OF THEM TAKE THEIR COFFEES TO GO,

WHICH MEANS I PUT THEIR NAMES ON CUPS.

AND TODAY, A VERY HANDSOME GUY NAMED MICHAEL

CAME IN AND ORDERED A VANILLA LATTE, YOUR FAVORITE.

AND HE'S A LAWYER.

- YOU ASKED A CUSTOMER WHAT HE DID FOR A LIVING?

- HE WAS FLATTERED BY THE ATTENTION.

LOOK, STOP WORRYING ABOUT MY BUSINESS ETIQUETTE

AND LISTEN TO ME.

HIS NAME IS MICHAEL, HE'S A LAWYER,

AND HE ORDERED YOUR FAVORITE DRINK.

THAT IS TWO BIG THINGS IN COMMON.

- MARCIE, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE THE BRIDE

AND I'M THE MAID OF HONOR, THAT DOESN'T MEAN

THAT YOU GET TO CONTROL MY LIFE.

IF ANYTHING, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ORGANIZING YOURS.

[sighs]

FINE, ONE DATE WITH MICHAEL THE LAWYER.

- GREAT. - BUT THEN, THAT IS IT.

- KAT, I JUST--

I WANT YOU TO HAVE A FULL LIFE.

YOU DESERVE MORE THAN GREASY TAKEOUT

AND 80 HOURS A WEEK IN AN OFFICE.

YOU DESERVE SOMEBODY WONDERFUL WHO LOVES YOU--

BESIDES ME.

- HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PRETEND TO BE MAD AT YOU

WHEN YOU SAY NICE THINGS LIKE THAT LOOKING LIKE A PRINCESS?

- [laughs]

- MM--OH! OW.

OW. OOH.

FOR THE FIFTH TIME. - IT'S SO ROMANTIC.

- YOU KNOW, IF I EVER GET MARRIED

AND THEN DIE TRAGICALLY, I'D WANT MY HUSBAND

TO WRITE A BOOK AS A TRIBUTE TO MY LIFE.

- WAIT, THE--THE BOOK IS ABOUT HIS WIFE?

- THE DIARY? OF COURSE.

HE READ HER DIARY AFTER SHE DIED,

AND HE REALIZED THAT ALL THE THINGS

HE THOUGHT HE WAS DOING WRONG, SHE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT--

WHEN HE WORKED LATE, WHEN THEY HAD A FIGHT--

BECAUSE ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS...

both: IS THE LITTLE THINGS.

- MM-HMM. - KATHERINE.

HEY. HEY, COME UP HERE.

- GO.

- WOW. - SHE'S SO LUCKY.

- YEAH, I'D SAY SO.

- HI. THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING.

- OH, SURE.

WE--BEST MAN, MAID OF HONOR,

WE HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER.

- DO YOU WANT ME TO SIGN YOUR BOOK?

- OH, UH, THAT'S OKAY.

I DIDN'T ACTUALLY BUY ONE YET.

- NO WORRIES. ON THE HOUSE.

- OH. UH, THAT'S OKAY.

THANKS A LOT. - ANY TIME.

I'M DONE HERE IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES.

STICK AROUND AND HAVE A COFFEE WITH ME?

HERE YOU GO. - THANK YOU.

- OF COURSE.

- YOUR FANS LOVE YOU.

THE WOMEN IN LINE COULD NOT STOP GUSHING.

- THAT'S NICE TO HEAR.

- THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW YOUR FIRST NOVEL WAS ABOUT--

- MY WIFE?

- YES.

I DIDN'T REALIZE.

I'M SORRY.

- THANK YOU.

- YOU MUST'VE REALLY LOVED HER.

- BUT YOU SEE MARRIED PEOPLE EVERY DAY

WHO DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER.

- I GUESS I FORGET THAT THEY WERE ONCE IN LOVE

ENOUGH TO COMMIT THEIR LIVES TO EACH OTHER,

SINCE BY THE TIME I MEET THEM,

THEY'RE USUALLY PRETTY AWFUL.

- I-I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GO OUT ON A DATE AFTER A DAY LIKE THAT.

- MM--WELL, THAT'S JUST IT. I DON'T.

- WELL, MAYBE THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE.

- OH, IS IT? - YEAH.

THERE'S A MICHAEL OUT THERE WAITIN' FOR YOU.

- WELL, I'M GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING THIS SO MUCH.

- I'M GLAD TOO.

- HI.

I'M ON MY WAY TO A MEETING,

BUT I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE GIFT BAG COST.

- DON'T WORRY, I'M ON IT.

- DID YOU MENTION MAKING THEM WITH TOM YET?

- IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU SHOULD MENTION TOM.

I ACTUALLY JUST RAN INTO HIM.

- WHERE? - UH, HIS BOOK SIGNING.

- HE DIDN'T MENTION ANY BOOK SIGNING.

- MARCIE, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THESE WOMEN IN LINE.

THEY WERE ALL MOONING OVER HIM.

- HE IS GOOD-LOOKING.

- I-I MEAN, I GUESS.

- GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WOMEN THOUGH.

THEY'LL BE DISAPPOINTED IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN TOM.

- REALLY? - LISTEN.

HE PUTS ON A GREAT FACE, BUT HE'S STILL DEVASTATED

OVER HIS WIFE'S DEATH.

AND FORGET ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP.

HE TOLD RICK IT MAY BE YEARS BEFORE HE EVEN DATES.

- OH. WHICH REMINDS ME.

YOU HAVE A DATE WITH YOUR NEW MICHAEL TOMORROW.

- MARCIE, I ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO.

- OH, REMEMBER, THIS MAY BE YOUR TRUE LOVE.

THAT'S WHAT INSURANCE IS FOR.

BESIDES, PARKING AN SUV IN A COMPACT SPOT,

YOU'RE BOUND TO GET DINGED.

IT WAS STUPID.

GARCON.

I ACTUALLY JUST STARTED AT MY NEW FIRM.

I DIDN'T EXACTLY GET FIRED FROM MY LAST JOB.

I QUIT.

I WAS REALLY INSULTED BY THE RESTRAINING ORDER.

- CHECK, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

- DON'T FORGET. COME IN, GET YOUR COFFEE.

- I WILL. - ALL RIGHT.

- MARCIE, YOU'VE INTRODUCED ME TO MY LAST MICHAEL.

NEVER AGAIN.

- OH, NO. THIS ISN'T GONNA BE GOOD.

KAT.

- HE WAS A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING, MARCIE.

I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T APPROVE OF MY JOB,

BUT IS THAT REALLY HOW YOU SEE ME?

AS MORALLY REPUGNANT AS THAT CREEP?

- NO, HE WAS SO CHARMING AT THE COFFEE SHOP.

IT JUST-- IT SEEMED SO PERFECT.

- RIGHT, AND YOU TALKED TO HIM FOR WHAT, TWO MINUTES?

AND JUST BECAUSE HE'S A LAWYER AND WE BOTH LIKE VANILLA LATTES,

SOMEHOW WE'RE MEANT TO BE?

- BUT HIS NAME IS-- - MICHAEL?

MICHAEL. HIS NAME IS MICHAEL,

AND A MICHAEL IS MY DESTINY?

- WELL, YEAH. - WELL, IF IT'S THAT EASY,

MARCIE, THEN MAYBE MY SOUL MATE IS WALKING ACROSS THE STREET.

HI, EXCUSE ME, IS YOUR NAME MICHAEL?

- WHAT? NO. - KATHERINE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- OH, YOU STARTED THIS, MARCIE. COME ON, LET'S FIND HIM.

- NO, STOP.

WHAT... - OH, HI, EXCUSE ME.

YOUR NAME MUST BE MICHAEL, RIGHT?

BECAUSE I'M SUPPOSED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A MICHAEL.

- I-I'M SORRY. SHE'S NOT WELL.

- UH, MICHAEL?

OH, MICHAEL? - KAT, I BEG OF YOU.

I'M MICHAEL BREAKSTONE. - I KNOW.

KAT'S HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND.

I'M MARCIE.

- UM, WELL, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

- MICHAEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I HAVE A LUNCH WITH A CLIENT DOWN THE STREET.

I WORK AT AN INVESTMENT FIRM IN TOWN.

- YOU LIVE HERE NOW? - YEAH, YEAH.

THREE YEARS NOW. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

- YEAH. - IT'S DESTINY.

- OH, NO, NO. IT'S JUST STILL ME.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? - NO, NO.

NOT MARRIED EITHER. - DESTINY.

MR. BARNWORTH, JACK, I'M SO SORRY I'M LATE.

- THAT WOMAN HAS ALWAYS HATED ME.

AND IF MILLIE'S GONNA TRY TO TAKE MY CARS,

I CAN SELL HER MOTHER'S PLACE.

IF MILLIE'S SO LONELY, SHE CAN HAVE

HER MOTHER MOVE IN WITH HER.

- MR. BARNWORTH, I KNOW IT SEEMED VERY PERSONAL

WHEN YOUR WIFE TRIED TO CLAIM YOUR CAR COLLECTION,

BUT THIS IS A HUMAN BEING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

- [clears throat]

- RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY WE CAN LOOK INTO THIS.

I CAN TRUST YOU WITH THIS, RIGHT, KATHERINE?

- OF COURSE, JACK.

THIS IS KATHERINE.

- HEY, KATHERINE. IT'S MICHAEL.

- MICHAEL. HI.

- UM, I HOPE IT'S OKAY THAT I'M CALLING YOU.

I KNOW THAT TECHNICALLY

YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

- N-NO, I-I'M GLAD THAT MARCIE GAVE YOU MY NUMBER.

- GREAT, WELL, I WAS WONDERING

IF YOU'RE FREE FOR DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT.

AND WE COULD CATCH UP AND LAUGH ABOUT OLD TIMES.

- I AM FREE. THAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE.

- GREAT, I'LL TEXT YOU THE ADDRESS,

AND--AND HOW'S 8:00 SOUND?

- PERFECT.

LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. - ME TOO.

BYE. - BYE.

- SO YOU'RE HAPPY I GAVE MICHAEL YOUR NUMBER, HUH?

- MARCIE. - KATHERINE AND MICHAEL

SITTIN' IN A TREE.

THIS TIME WITHOUT A VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY.

NIGHT, NIGHT. - [laughs]

- HELLO? - HI, TOM.

ANN DONNELLY HERE. - ANN.

THERE'S A JOKE HERE ABOUT ESTATE LAWYERS

WHO CALL, BUT I CAN'T THINK OF IT.

- WELL, YOU'RE A WRITER NOW. YOU COME UP WITH IT.

- IT'S GOOD TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.

IT'S BEEN...

- ALMOST TWO YEARS.

HOW'S L.A.?

- GREAT WEATHER.

TO WHAT DO I OWE THE UNEXPECTED CALL?

- WELL, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU, TOM.

YOU'LL NEED TO BE HOME TO TAKE RECEIPT OF IT.

- AM I BEING SUED? - [chuckles]

NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

AT ANY RATE, THIS PACKAGE WILL ARRIVE ON TUESDAY.

- THAT'S THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF JILL'S DEATH.

WHAT IS IT?

- HONESTLY, TOM, I DON'T KNOW.

- I'LL WAIT FOR IT.

TAKE CARE.

- YOU TOO. THANKS.

- COME ON. WE GOTTA GO OPEN THESE RSVPs.

HELP ME OUT.

OOH, NICE. CAROLINE AND ANDY ARE COMING.

- AWESOME. THE O'BRIENS ARE COMING.

MY MOM DIDN'T THINK THEY'D MAKE THE TRIP.

- THE CHIEF AND HIS WIFE.

- MR. AND MRS. FELLOWS?

WHO'S THAT? - BOB AND DIANE.

MY PARENTS' FRIENDS. - OH.

HAVE I EVEN MET THEM?

- HEY, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?

ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE COMING TO OUR WEDDING.

WE'RE VERY POPULAR. - YEAH.

WE'RE SO POPULAR THAT THIS WEDDING

IS GOING TO COST A LOT MORE THAN WE PLANNED.

- BUT WE PLANNED FOR THAT. WE HAVE A CUSHION.

HONEY.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

- YEAH.

- [sighs]

- [sighs]

[clears throat]

[rings doorbell] [knocks at door]

- JUST A MINUTE.

- MM-HMM.

- [hums]

- HI. - HI.

- [sighs]

- AW, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BRING THAT.

- NO, IT'S AN OCCASION. - YEAH.

- WOW. YOU'RE COOKING?

I REMEMBER YOU TRIED TO DO THAT FOR ME ONCE IN HIGH SCHOOL.

IT DID NOT WORK OUT SO WELL.

- YEAH, WELL, A LOT CAN CHANGE IN 10 YEARS.

COME ON IN.

- COOL PLACE.

- ALL RIGHT, YOU READY FOR THIS?

- I DON'T KNOW, I'M KIND OF SCARED GIVEN THE HISTORY.

- IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN BURNT SPAGHETTI.

I PROMISE. CAREFUL, IT'S HOT.

- OKAY.

IT'S REALLY GOOD. - YEAH.

SO DOES THE LAWYER EXONERATE ME

FROM MY PAST COOKING CRIMES?

- ABSOLUTELY. ACQUITTED.

- SO KATIE BIXBY BECAME A LAWYER,

JUST LIKE SHE SAID SHE WOULD.

DID YOU GET INTO HARVARD LAW LIKE YOU PLANNED?

- I DID, ACTUALLY.

- I CAN'T SAY THAT I'M SURPRISED.

VALEDICTORIAN.

CLASS PRESIDENT. - OKAY.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT DID YOU DO AFTER COLLEGE?

- OH, I GOT MY MBA AT CORNELL.

JUST ABOUT AS FANCY AS HARVARD.

- AND YOU LEARNED HOW TO COOK SOMEWHERE IN THERE TOO?

- OUI, OUI. I AM A RENAISSANCE MAN.

- ESPECIALLY IF YOU CAN STILL EAT

THREE ORDERS OF CHICKEN WINGS IN ONE SITTING.

- [laughs]

I WAS A CLASSY KID, HUH?

THERE YOU GO.

I'M REALLY GLAD I RAN INTO YOU, KATIE.

HERE IS TO NEW BEGINNINGS.

- AND PLEASANT SURPRISES.

[indistinct chatter]

UM, HEY, GUYS. IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

- EVERYTHING'S FINE.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, KAT.

I GOTTA RUN.

- WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT? - NOTHING.

JUST-- [sighs]

WE MAY NOT GET TO GO TO PARIS ON OUR HONEYMOON.

- WHAT? WHY?

- WELL, I HAD ALL THESE IDEAS

ABOUT HOW TO BE CREATIVE AT THE WEDDING

SO THAT WE COULD DO BOTH, BUT RICK IS JUST--

- OKAY, OKAY, I'M SURE IT'S ALL GONNA WORK OUT.

- YEAH.

FORGET ABOUT THAT.

HOW WAS YOUR DATE?

- OH, IT WAS--

IT WAS A REALLY NICE NIGHT.

- GOOD.

I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL DORA.

- OKAY.

HOW ABOUT I GO ON A SECOND DATE,

YOU DON'T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF,

AND WE FIND A SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM?

LET'S MAKE A LIST. - FINE.

- MR. BARNWORTH ON LINE TWO.

[phone rings]

- [sighs]

THIS IS KATHERINE. - KATHERINE.

WHO IS THIS CHARLATAN REAL ESTATE AGENT

YOU PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH?

- MR. BARNWORTH, PLEASE CALM DOWN.

- I'M HERE TO SEE KATHERINE. I'M TOM STANFIELD.

SHE SHOULD BE EXPECTING ME. - YES.

SHE IS ON A PHONE CALL AT THE MOMENT,

BUT GO ON IN.

- THANK YOU. - MM-HMM.

- HIS APPRAISAL IS RIDICULOUS.

- I KNOW THAT THE CONDO IS WORTH MORE--

- YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT PLEASE, KATHERINE,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO HAVE MY POCKET PICKED.

- HE BARELY NEEDS ME FOR THIS.

- SO YOU CALLED AND SAID TO COME BY?

- YEAH.

SO IT TURNS OUT THAT MARCIE AND RICK

MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO PARIS ON THEIR HONEYMOON,

SO I WAS THINKING WE CHANGE UP THE REHEARSAL DINNER,

BRING PARIS TO THEM.

- DO YOU NEED TO TALK TO THAT GUY?

- UM, WHY DON'T YOU

LOOK OVER MY NOTES WHILE I FINISH THIS UP?

MR. BARNWORTH? - THIS--

- MR. BARNWORTH? - ARE YOU RAISING

YOUR VOICE AT ME? - HI.

SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO RAISE MY VOICE.

- KATHERINE, HE'S ASKING AT LEAST 30% LESS

THAN THAT PROPERTY IS WORTH.

- MR. BARNWORTH, I KNOW THAT.

- WELL THEN, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

- THE PROBLEM IS IT'S MY JOB

TO GET YOU WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF THIS SETTLEMENT,

BUT YOU CAN EITHER HAVE IT FAST

OR YOU CAN HAVE IT RIGHT.

SO BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING YOU REGRET,

MAY I PLEASE SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE A DAY

TO THINK THINGS THROUGH BEFORE WE PROCEED?

- ALL RIGHT, I GET IT, BUT I'M NOT SETTLING FOR THIS.

CALL ME TOMORROW. - UNDERSTOOD.

WE'LL SPEAK TOMORROW. - YES, KATHERINE.

- [sighs] SO THE PARTY.

- YOU'RE READING MY BOOK.

- OH, UH, YEAH.

I STARTED READING IT AFTER THE SIGNING.

EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT IT. I WAS CURIOUS.

CAN I JUST SAY, I THINK THAT IT WAS

INCREDIBLY BRAVE OF YOU TO WRITE IT?

I MEAN, IT'S DIFFICULT ENOUGH TO TELL SOMEONE

HOW YOU FEEL, BUT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD?

- WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE THAT MUCH, IT'S NOT BRAVE.

IT'S NECESSARY.

- IT'S A NEW EXPERIENCE HAVING SOMEONE SIT IN THAT CHAIR

AND TALK ABOUT LOVE AND NOT SPITE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'LL EVER GET OVER

LOSING SOMEONE YOU LOVE THAT MUCH.

- YOU NEVER REALLY GET OVER IT.

[phone rings]

- HELLO? KATHERINE BIXBY'S OFFICE.

- HI, IS KATE THERE, PLEASE?

- I BELIEVE SHE'S IN A MEETING,

BUT LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET HER.

WOULD YOU HOLD, PLEASE?

KATHERINE, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT,

BUT I HAVE MICHAEL BREAKSTONE ON LINE THREE.

- OH.

TELL HIM I'LL CALL HIM RIGHT BACK.

- ANOTHER MICHAEL.

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS HOOEY.

- IT IS. I'M CERTAIN THAT IT IS.

THIS MICHAEL, HE WAS ACTUALLY MY HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND.

I RAN INTO HIM ON THE STREET THE OTHER DAY.

- SOUNDS LIKE DESTINY. - YOU SOUND LIKE MARCIE.

- I WONDER.

IS THIS HOW PEOPLE LIKE US END UP,

WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS?

REUNITED?

OLDER? WISER?

- WOW.

MICHAEL, THAT'S...

- I'M JUST GLAD THAT I RAN INTO YOU.

THAT'S ALL. - I'M REALLY GLAD

I RAN INTO YOU TOO.

- YOU HAVE A LITTLE THING THERE.

I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WERE HAPPY

TO HAVE RUN INTO ME THAT DAY.

YOU WERE LITERALLY LOOKING FOR MICHAELS.

- YOU HEARD THAT? - OH, YEAH.

PEOPLE TWO TOWNS OVER HEARD YOU, OKAY?

- OH.

OH, NO.

- YOU CARE TO EXPLAIN?

- UM...

NO.

THANKS FOR ASKING.

- OH, COME ON.

CHICKEN. TELL ME.

- OKAY, FINE.

MARCIE'S CRAZY MANICURIST FANCIES HERSELF

SOMEWHAT OF A SO-CALLED MATCHMAKER,

AND SHE PREDICTED THAT I WOULD FIND MY MATCH

AND HIS NAME WOULD BE MICHAEL.

- REALLY? - IT SOUNDS STUPID.

I KNOW.

MARCIE HAD SET ME UP WITH ALL OF THESE TERRIBLE MICHAELS,

AND I WAS KIND OF MAD AT HER THAT DAY,

AND, WELL, THEN YOU APPEARED.

- [exhales] WOW.

- I DON'T SEE WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS.

- THE BIG DEAL IS THAT PEOPLE MARKED

ON THE LITTLE CARDS THAT THEY WANTED SALMON.

- SO THEY'LL GET TILAPIA.

IT'LL SAVE US $5 PER PERSON.

HOW ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIND CUTS IN THE BUDGET

SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A WEDDING AND A HONEYMOON?

- FINDING CUTS IN THE BUDGET?

THIS IS OUR WEDDING, MARCIE.

YOU'RE TREATING OUR WEDDING

LIKE A BARGAIN BASEMENT GARAGE SALE.

YOU DON'T EVEN SEEM EXCITED ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

IT'S LIKE YOU GOTTA GET THROUGH THE WEDDING

TO GET TO THE GRAND PRIZE, THE HONEYMOON.

- THAT IS NOT FAIR. - WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

THERE'S ONE SIMPLE WAY YOU CAN GO TO PARIS.

JUST CALL OFF THE WEDDING.

DON'T BOTHER FEEDING AND ENTERTAINING

ALL THOSE ANNOYING FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO LOVE YOU,

THAT JUST WANNA SPEND YOUR SPECIAL DAY WITH YOU.

FORGET THEM AND GO.

EAT BREAD AND CHEESE, AND WEAR A BERET

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT'S TRULY IMPORTANT TO YOU.

- RICK. - I'M OUTTA HERE.

- OH, HEY, RICK. I JUST GOT HOME.

- RICK.

[door opens]

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

- DO YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT IT?

OKAY.

- [cries] - OH.

- [sighs] IF I WERE HIM,

I WOULDN'T WANT TO MARRY ME EITHER.

I'M HORRIBLE.

- YOU ARE NOT HORRIBLE.

MAYBE YOU GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY.

SOME BRIDES GO CRAZY OVER THE WEDDING.

YOU CHOSE THE HONEYMOON.

- I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE EVERYTHING.

I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT'D LOOK LIKE.

HE'S RIGHT.

PICKING APART OUR WEDDING.

BUT I NEVER THOUGHT THAT HE'D THINK

I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MARRYING HIM.

THAT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT.

FORGET ABOUT THE PARTY, THE TRIP.

I JUST--

I JUST WANT TO START MY LIFE WITH RICK.

- JUST GIVE HIM THE NIGHT TO COOL OFF,

AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

RICK LOVES YOU. YOU JUST HAD A FIGHT.

HE'LL CALL TOMORROW, FIRST THING.

I'M SURE OF IT. - I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

[tense orchestration]

[dog whining]

- [sighs] I'M SORRY, BUDDY.

RICK'S IN A FUNK. [sighs]

GIRL TROUBLES. GONNA TALK TO ME ABOUT IT?

- THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

MARCIE CARES MORE ABOUT GOING TO PARIS

THAN SHE DOES ABOUT MARRYING ME.

- OKAY, THAT'S RIDICULOUS, AND YOU KNOW IT.

- IS IT? SHE'S RUSHING THROUGH THE WHOLE WEDDING.

IT'S LIKE SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

[dog whines]

BUT I THOUGHT WOMEN

WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ABOUT THE WEDDING.

- THEY ARE,

SO BE HAPPY MARCIE ISN'T A TYPICAL BRIDEZILLA.

- MAYBE SHE JUST SAID YES SO SHE COULD

GET A HONEYMOON OUT OF THE WHOLE THING.

- OH, OKAY, SO I SEE WE'RE BEING PERFECTLY REASONABLE RIGHT NOW,

AND IT'S A GOOD TIME TO TALK THEN?

DUDE, YOU'RE BUMMIN' OUT MY DOG.

- OF COURSE.

SO IS MARCIE AS BAD AS RICK?

- WELL, THEY HAVEN'T TALKED IN TWO DAYS.

IS RICK ALSO DOUBLING UP ON DESSERTS AND CRYING NONSTOP?

- WELL, NO. HE'S A WRECK, THOUGH,

IN A QUIETER, LOWER-CALORIES WAY.

- SEE, THEY JUST HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW,

THEY'RE ACTING CRAZY.

MARCIE SAYS SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE HONEYMOON.

ALL SHE WANTS IS TO BE MARRIED TO RICK.

- THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL HIM,

BUT HE DOESN'T LISTEN.

[sighs]

I GUESS WE DON'T NEED TO DISCUSS

THE PARISIAN-THEMED REHEARSAL DINNER ANYMORE, DO WE?

IT'S A SHAME.

IF RICK AND MARCIE HAD JUST KNOWN

THAT WE WERE GONNA BRING PARIS TO THEM,

AND NOW...

- AND NOW...

YEAH, YOU GUYS GOT SOME DRESSES TO TRY ON

OR FLOWERS TO PICK UP? - SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW. - YEAH, SOUNDS GOOD.

- OKAY, BYE.

[phone beeps]

- MARCIE, YOU JUST GOT A TEXT,

IF THAT EVEN IS THE SOUND THAT YOUR PHONE MAKES

WHEN YOU GET A TEXT.

OKAY, THOSE COUNTER-TOPS ARE CLEAN.

YOU NEED TO STEP AWAY. WHAT IF IT'S FROM RICK?

- IT WON'T BE. HE HATES ME.

I BECAME A-- [sighs]

A HONEYMOON-ZILLA.

HEY.

[sighs]

IT'S FROM RICK. - NO WAY.

- HE WANTS ME TO MEET HIM AT THE PARK AT 8:00 P.M.

HE SAYS TO DRESS NICELY.

- I JUST GOT THE SAME MESSAGE.

- FROM RICK? - YEAH.

- OH.

YOU DON'T THINK HE'S GONNA BREAK UP WITH ME

AND WANTS YOU THERE FOR MORAL SUPPORT, DO YOU?

- DO I THINK THAT HE'S ASKING YOU TO DRESS NICELY

AND BRING A FRIEND TO YOUR OWN DUMPING?

NO, I DO NOT THINK THAT.

GET YOUR APRON OFF. LET'S GO.

WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

- CHUCK, DO YOU MIND CLOSING UP TONIGHT?

- OKAY, LET'S GO.

SHE'S 88 YEARS OLD.

- SELL ONE OF THE CARS YOU'RE SO DETERMINED TO GET.

YOU CAN BUY HER A NEW CONDO.

KEEP THE JAZZ ALBUMS. I WANT THE POODLES.

MAY I SPEAK WITH YOU IN MY OFFICE?

PLEASE?

MR. BARNWORTH, I SAID THIS THE OTHER DAY,

AS YOUR ATTORNEY, IT'S MY JOB TO GET YOU

WHATEVER YOU WANT OUT OF THIS SETTLEMENT.

I MUST REMIND YOU THAT DECISIONS MADE IN ANGER

ARE USUALLY NOT THAT PRODUCTIVE OR THAT SATISFYING.

MR. BARNWORTH, I SEE A LOT OF COUPLES

COME IN AND OUT OF HERE.

THEY DON'T ALL HAVE FIRE.

SOME OF THEM ARE SO DISPASSIONED ABOUT ONE ANOTHER

THAT IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE

EVER IN LOVE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THAT YOU AND MILLIE ONCE LOVED EACH OTHER VERY MUCH.

SO DO YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE

YOUR 88-YEAR-OLD MOTHER-IN-LAW HOMELESS

OR DIG UP ACRES OF LANDSCAPING?

- TOO FAR? - IT IS A BOLD CLAIM TO MAKE.

- THAT WOMAN JUST GETS ME SO... - I KNOW.

- SIT DOWN.

WHAT WAS THAT? - UH, WHAT WAS WHAT?

- KATHERINE, YOU'RE A DIVORCE ATTORNEY, NOT A THERAPIST.

WE MAKE MONEY WHEN THEY GET A DIVORCE,

NOT WHEN THEY MAKE NICE AND STOP DIVIDING THEIR ASSETS.

- AH, I'M SORRY. I JUST THOUGHT THAT--

- IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO HAVE A PERSONAL OPINION

ABOUT WHAT OUR CLIENTS WANT.

IF MR. BARNWORTH WANTS TO PAY SOMEONE

TO MOVE HIS LANDSCAPING ONE SHOVEL FULL OF DIRT

AT A TIME, THEN WE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

ARE WE CLEAR? - WE ARE CLEAR.

- AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BABY-SIT

YOUR CLIENT IN THE MORNING EITHER.

AND WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MISTAKES,

MR. FILLMORE'S ATTORNEYS ARE STILL WAITING

- DORA. - OH, HI.

- HI. KATHERINE FOUND HER MICHAEL.

THE ONE YOU SAID SHE'D MEET? SHE DID.

- WELL, I'M NOT ACTUALLY SURE IF HE'S MY MICHAEL,

WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ASKING YOU THIS,

BUT HOW DO I KNOW IF HE'S THE ONE?

- IT'S BETTER IF YOU FIND THESE ANSWERS OUT FOR YOURSELF.

- GREAT. HOW? - YOU MUST SEE THE SIGNS.

- OH, I'M SEEING SIGNS EVERYWHERE.

- IT'S OKAY.

YOUR MIND IS OPEN NOW.

YOUR HEART IS OPEN.

[gasps] THIS IS GOOD.

- NO, NO. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

I DON'T FEEL ANYMORE CERTAIN THAT MICHAEL IS THE ONE FOR ME.

JUST BECAUSE I'M SEEING HIS NAME EVERYWHERE,

IT DOESN'T MAKE ME MORE SURE.

IT'S JUST MAKING ME MORE CRAZY.

MICHAEL, MICHAEL, MICHAEL.

- YOU MUST GO TO THIS SPOT

AT THIS EXACT TIME

WITH THIS MAN, THIS--THIS MICHAEL.

AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING THIS.

- TRUST ME.

- I CAN'T GET TO THE PHONE. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE.

- VOICE MAIL. MICHAEL, HI.

IT'S KATHERINE. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'RE FREE

TONIGHT TO MEET AT THE BISTRO AT 6:34.

- MM-HMM. - 6:30, A NORMAL TIME

FOR PEOPLE TO GET TOGETHER. LET'S GET TOGETHER AT 6:30.

CALL ME BACK. BYE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING THIS.

[indistinct chatter]

HE'S LATE.

SORRY, I'M JUST...

LOSING MY MIND. [sighing]

- UH, HEY, SORRY THAT I'M LATE. - IT'S 6:39.

- I GOT STUCK ON A CONFERENCE CALL.

IS THERE A PROBLEM?

I MEAN, IT--IT DOESN'T LOOK TOO BUSY HERE.

DO YOU HAVE A RESERVATION? - UH, ACTUALLY, NO.

- OKAY, LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

- GREAT.

[phone rings]

- DORA'S NAILS. YOU GOT DORA.

- DORA. - THAT'S MY NAME.

DON'T WEAR IT OUT. - IT'S KATHERINE.

- OH, YES, KATHERINE.

DID YOU GET A SIGN? - NO, I DIDN'T GET A SIGN.

HE WAS LATE. - OH, NO.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M EVEN SAYING THIS,

BUT IS THERE ANOTHER PLACE?

- UH, YES.

ANOTHER PLACE. OF COURSE.

- PLEASE.

- UM...

IT'LL COME TO ME.

UM-- - WHERE?

- DO YOU KNOW GIL CRESCENT HILL?

- THE--THE PARK WITH THE FOUNTAIN?

- UH, YES. THE FOUNTAIN.

9:00 EXACTLY. - OKAY.

OKAY, OKAY, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOTTA GO, BYE.

- GREAT NEWS, HE'S GONNA SEAT US IN FIVE MINUTES.

- I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.

- OKAY. UM, WHAT?

IT'S--DO YOU WANNA SIT DOWN AND--AND EAT?

I-I'M... - SURE.

THIS IS FOR YOU.

THIS IS FOR ME.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE HUNGRY.

WHAT? WHAT UP?

I DON'T KNOW.

KATIE.

YOU'VE BEEN ACTING A LITTLE BIT STRANGE.

- MAYBE--MAYBE IT'S THE WATER.

MAYBE THAT'S WHAT'S SPECIAL. - EXCUSE ME?

WHAT YOU DOIN'?

- IT'S FUN. - IS IT?

WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU?

OKAY, OKAY. ENOUGH.

STOP.

WHAT IS GOIN' ON WITH YOU?

- IT'S ROMANTIC. - RIGHT.

ROMANCE IS A SOAKED SANDWICH

- SO DON'T FORGET: 3:00, MANICURES, DORA'S.

GONNA GET OUR HANDS ALL PRETTY. [giggling]

GET READY. [gasps]

HI.

- HEY. - HOW DID LAST NIGHT GO?

GREAT, I ASSUME, SINCE I DIDN'T HEAR YOU COME IN.

[gasps] LET ME SEE YOUR LEFT HAND.

- HE DIDN'T PROPOSE.

IN FACT, I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE THAT WE ARE STILL DATING.

- WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED?

DID YOU NOT GET TO THE PLACES DORA SUGGESTED?

- NO, WE DID, BUT WE WERE LATE TWICE.

AND, I DON'T KNOW, MICHAEL WAS GETTING ANNOYED WITH ME

BECAUSE I WAS DRAGGING HIM ALL OVER THE CITY.

AND BY THE TIME WE MADE IT TO THE PARK,

I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SPLASHED HIM AND OUR DINNER

WITH WATER FROM A PUBLIC FOUNTAIN.

- WOW.

KAT, I AM SO SORRY.

I JUST-- [sighs]

I REALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS IT FOR YOU.

- MAYBE IT'S NOT AS STRAIGHTFORWARD

AS DORA MADE IT SEEM.

MAYBE ALL OF THIS MADE ME ACT CRAZY,

WHICH MADE MICHAEL THINK I'M CRAZY,

WHICH MEANS HE'S GOING TO BREAK UP WITH ME,

AND THAT'S HOW I KNOW HE'S NOT THE ONE.

CHUCK, CAN I GET THE BIGGEST, MOST DELICIOUS MUFFIN YOU HAVE?

- NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. NO.

DON'T START THE STRESS-EATING YET.

YOU ARE GOING TO SEE HIM,

AND HE'S GOING TO SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT CRAZY.

AND THEN, YOU ARE GONNA PICK UP RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT OFF.

- NO, IT'S NOT A SAD MUFFIN.

IT'S AN APOLOGY MUFFIN.

I'M GONNA STOP BY MICHAEL'S ON THE WAY TO WORK.

- GOOD. YES, MUFFIN.

AND THEN THIS AFTERNOON, WE HAVE MANICURES

WITH THE BRIDESMAIDS BEFORE THE DINNER,

SO WE WILL TALK TO DORA ABOUT LAST NIGHT.

- ACTUALLY, MARCIE, I THINK I NEED

TO SKIP THE NAIL APPOINTMENT.

I-I HAVE THIS REALLY BIG COURT CASE

THAT I CANNOT MESS UP, AND THEN TOM AND I

ARE SETTING UP AT THE RESTAURANT.

- YEAH, OKAY.

- I'LL SEE YOU AT THE PARTY.

- AND I KNOW IT'LL BE BEAUTIFUL.

[knocks at door]

- PEACE OFFERING. - HI, KATIE.

I-I LITERALLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES, AND I GOTTA GET TO WORK.

- OKAY, GREAT, I-I-I CAN MAKE THIS QUICK.

I JUST WANTED TO APOLOGIZE FOR LAST NIGHT.

I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN WHAT GOT INTO ME,

BUT I'M DONE ACTING CRAZY.

I KNOW THAT I RUINED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

A VERY NICE DATE.

- YEAH, IT CERTAINLY WAS A UNIQUE EVENING.

- BUT AT LEAST IT WASN'T BORING.

- [laughs] I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.

[laughs]

WHAT YOU GOT HERE?

- OH, FOR YOU.

AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR CHOICE

OF BLUEBERRY STREUSEL OR BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP.

BREAKFAST, SINCE I RUINED DINNER, LITERALLY.

- [laughs]

APOLOGY ACCEPTED.

UM, SO I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT AT THE PARTY?

- IF YOU'LL STILL BE MY DATE.

I DO LIKE BEING WOOED ONCE IN A WHILE.

- DEAR TOM,

BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS,

I'LL BE LONG GONE.

I'M GUESSING YOU HAVE THE DOG YOU ALWAYS WANTED NOW,

AND I BET IT'S A BIG, WHITE ONE.

- YOU'RE RIGHT.

ISN'T SHE, BOY? [dog whines]

- I KNOW YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE,

AND I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU'RE STILL GRIEVING FOR ME.

STOP IT.

OUR MARRIAGE WAS EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR.

I CAN'T IMAGINE A MORE LOVING, DEVOTED HUSBAND.

AND GUESS WHAT?

THERE'S ANOTHER WOMAN OUT THERE

WHO DESERVES YOU JUST AS MUCH.

I HOPE YOU'VE ALREADY MET HER.

BUT, IF NOT, I WANT YOU OPEN

TO THE IDEA OF NEW LOVE.

BELIEVE ME,

JUST BECAUSE OUR STORY WAS CUT SHORT

DOESN'T MEAN YOURS WAS.

SO CHERISH OUR MARRIAGE,

BUT DON'T ENSHRINE IT.

MOVE ON.

YOU'LL HONOR MY MEMORY WHEN YOU DO.

YOUR LOVING WIFE, JILL.

[indistinct chatter]

- ALL RISE.

- BE SEATED.

GOOD MORNING.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS HAD A CHANCE

TO CONSIDER THEIR LAST REQUESTS BEFORE I MAKE A FINAL RULING.

COUNSELOR, YOU MAY BEGIN.

- YOUR HONOR, THE EVIDENCE CLEARLY INDICATES

THAT MR. BARNWORTH SHOULD RETAIN ALL HIS ASSETS,

ALONG WITH THE GARDENS, THE POODLES, THE CAR COLLECTION--

- I DON'T WANT THE GARDENS. - WHAT?

- THAT WAS A SILLY REQUEST, DIGGING UP THE GARDENS.

THEY BELONG ON THE PROPERTIES.

AND I'VE TAKEN THE CONDO IN FLORIDA OFF THE MARKET.

- REALLY, MAXWELL?

MOTHER WILL BE SO PLEASED.

IF WE'RE MAKING CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT,

I DON'T WANT THE CARS.

- REALLY? - YOU'RE RIGHT.

I DON'T DRIVE THEM.

AND YOU LOVE THEM. - BUT THEY'RE ONLY CARS.

I DON'T LOVE THEM.

- AND I DON'T WANT THE POODLES.

- COUNSELORS, DO YOU NEED MORE TIME WITH YOUR CLIENTS?

- LUTHER HAS SLEPT AT MAX'S FEET

EVERY NIGHT FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS.

I DON'T WANNA CHANGE THAT.

- BUT LULU SLEPT AT YOUR FEET FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.

I CAN'T TAKE HER AWAY FROM YOU.

- BUT WE CAN'T SPLIT THEM UP, MAX.

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. - BUT THEY FIGHT ALL THE TIME.

- THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO GET EACH OTHER'S ATTENTION.

THEY DON'T MEAN IT.

I THINK SOMETIMES

LULU FEELS THAT LUTHER

CARES MORE ABOUT HIS RAWHIDE

THAN HE DOES ABOUT HER.

- SHE'D BE CRAZY TO THINK SUCH A THING.

I THINK LUTHER DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO SAY--

I MEAN, SHOW HOW HE FEELS.

- THAT'S ENOUGH.

MR. AND MRS. BARNWORTH,

THIS ISN'T MARRIAGE COUNSELING.

IT'S A DIVORCE COURT,

AND YOU ARE WASTING MY VALUABLE TIME.

NOW, EITHER WE CONTINUE WITH THE DIVISION OF ASSETS

RIGHT THIS MINUTE, OR I DISMISS THIS COURT

AND WE RESCHEDULE AT A LATER DATE.

OR NOT.

DISMISSED.

- UH, LORI? PLEASE HOLD MY CALLS.

WELL, MR. BARNWORTH, THAT CERTAINLY WAS A FIRST.

- I'M SORRY, KATHERINE. I KNOW YOU DIDN'T WIN THE CASE.

I DON'T WANNA GET YOU IN TROUBLE.

- HONESTLY, I'VE NEVER BEEN SO PLEASED TO DO A BAD JOB.

- WELL, I HAVE YOU TO THANK FOR THIS.

- YOU DO? - YES.

WHEN YOU SAID THAT A LOT OF COUPLES YOU SEE

DIDN'T HAVE ANY FIRE LEFT,

I REALIZED THAT I WAS ONLY DOING THOSE THINGS

TO RILE MILLIE UP BECAUSE I MISSED THAT PASSION.

SHE'S THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

THANK YOU.

[ringing]

- HELLO?

- I LOST. - YOUR CASE?

- NO, I-I FEEL LIKE I WON.

- OKAY, THAT'S GREAT.

- AND I PROBABLY WON'T MAKE PARTNER.

- I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING.

- AND I CAN'T DECIDE IF THIS IS THE BEST

OR THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE. - HEY, KATIE,

SOMETHING URGENT JUST CAME UP,

SO I'M GONNA-- I'M GONNA CALL YOU BACK.

- OKAY. - ALL RIGHT, BYE.

- KATIE, HUH?

KATIE? WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

- YEAH, YEAH, KATIE.

THAT PHONE CALL I JUST GOT WAS NUTS.

YEAH, I-I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON WITH KATIE.

[cell phone rings]

- HI. - I MEAN, SHE'S ACTING ERRATIC,

AND--AND-- - MICHAEL?

- YEAH. - [laughs]

WELL, DIDN'T YOU GUYS JUST GET BACK LIKE A WEEK AGO?

- YOU KNOW, EVERY RELATIONSHIP NEEDS WORK.

DATING KATIE IS WORK.

- I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BROTHER,

BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE

THAT WOULD GET MY ATTENTION.

- YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT KATIE IS PURSUING ME

FOR REASONS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

- REALLY? WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

- I'M AT THE END OF THE LINE, MAN.

- WHAT ABOUT YOU? HOW DO YOU FEEL?

- I FEEL THAT TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE BEGINNING

TO DATE EACH OTHER SHOULD LOOK FORWARD

TO SEEING ONE ANOTHER,

NOT DREAD IT.

- I THINK YOU JUST ANSWERED YOURSELF.

- [sighs]

THERE. ALL DONE.

- OKAY.

- [laughs] - LOOK AT THEM.

THEY'RE SO IN LOVE, THEY KNOW

THEY'RE MEANT TO BE WITH EACH OTHER.

- AND THAT'S SAD SOMEHOW?

- I THINK I'M JEALOUS.

- OF RICK AND MARCIE GETTING MARRIED?

I THOUGHT YOU AND MICHAEL WERE NEXT.

- TOM, THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

- I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST YOU WERE THE ONE MAKING FUN OF THIS STUFF.

- I HAVEN'T FELT LIKE MYSELF.

NOW I DON'T EVEN LOVE MY JOB ANYMORE.

IT'S LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM,

OR WHAT I WANT, OR WHO I WANT.

- SOMETIMES, THE PERSON YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WITH

IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU,

AND YOU GENUINELY DON'T REALIZE IT.

I'M SORRY. [laughs]

- NO, THAT'S OKAY.

FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY,

I HAVEN'T FELT COMPLETELY LOST.

- GOOD, I'M GLAD.

- ACTUALLY, IF I LEAVE NOW, I CAN STILL

GET MANICURES WITH THE GIRLS.

- GO.

- OH, THANK YOU.

[sighs]

THANKS, TOM.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

- BYE, KATHERINE.

[indistinct chatter]

- JUST LET THEM DRY FOR TEN MINUTES.

- HI. - PERFECT.

- HI. - OH, YOU MADE IT.

- LOOK, KAT'S HERE. - OH.

- HI. HI, EVERYONE.

- HONEY, I LOVE THOSE SHOES.

- HI, DORA. - SO LOOK AT YOU.

DO YOU HAVE NEWS FOR MISS DORA?

- NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY NEWS FOR MISS DORA.

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING FOR CERTAIN LAST NIGHT.

I WAS TRYING TO BE OPEN.

I WAS TRYING TO BELIEVE. IT JUST DIDN'T WORK.

- WELL, DID YOU HAVE FUN ON YOUR DATE?

- NO, I-I WOULDN'T SAY THAT WE HAD FUN.

- OH. WELL, NOW, YOU KNOW.

- KNOW WHAT? - WHAT?

- LOVE IS NOT JUST ROMANCE.

IT IS NOT JUST HOLDING HANDS

AND KISSING AND FLOWERS ON VALENTINE'S DAY.

LOVE IS BEING HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND WITH OTHERS

ABOUT YOUR TRUE FEELINGS,

NO MATTER HOW THINGS TURN OUT.

- SHE'S SO RIGHT.

- I GOTTA GO.

- BUT WAIT, KAT, YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR NAILS DONE YET.

ARE YOU OKAY? - YEAH.

[laughs]

- SHE KNOWS NOW.

- [knocks on door] - HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? - I LEFT YOU A VOICE MESSAGE.

- OH, UM, YEAH.

I WAS GONNA CALL YOU BACK.

SORRY, THIS--

THIS IS MY COLLEAGUE JUSTIN.

THIS IS KATIE. - HOW ARE YOU DOIN', KATIE?

- I ACTUALLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE. - YOU DO?

MICHAEL TALKED ABOUT ME? - UH, NO.

- [clears throat]

I JUST REMEMBERED I GOTTA GO CHECK ON THE QUARTERLIES.

- SURE.

[clears throat]

SO... - SO...

I DIDN'T COME HERE TO APOLOGIZE AGAIN.

BUT I DID COME HERE TO BE HONEST.

- OKAY.

- I GOT PRETTY SWEPT UP IN THIS WHOLE MICHAELS IDEA.

AND I TRIED TO MAKE YOU FIT INTO THAT,

AND THAT'S UNFAIR TO YOU.

MY WHOLE LIFE,

WHEN IT CAME TO SCHOOL OR MY JOB,

I ALWAYS WENT AFTER EVERYTHING THAT I WANTED

WITHOUT HESITATION OR WORRY.

- OF COURSE. LOOK AT YOUR CAREER.

- WHY SHOULD LOVE BE TREATED ANY DIFFERENTLY?

I THINK IF I'M GONNA BE TRUE TO MYSELF,

I NEED TO APPROACH LOVE WITH THE SAME KIND

OF COMMITMENT AND PASSION

AND NO FEAR OF FAILURE.

- KATIE, IN EVERY RELATIONSHIP,

I MEAN, THERE'S UPS AND DOWNS AND--AND--

- BUT IF WE'RE GONNA BE HONEST HERE,

THE TRUTH IS THAT WE BOTH KNOW

WE'RE JUST NOT RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER.

AND WITHOUT THAT THING, YOU KNOW,

IT JUST FEELS...

LIKE WORK.

- [exhales] YOU'RE RIGHT.

- I LEARNED THAT IN A NAIL SALON TODAY.

- [laughs]

- YOU TAKE CARE, OKAY?

- YEAH, GOOD LUCK AT THE WEDDING.

- THANKS.

I MAY NEED IT.

- AND NOW OUR MAID OF HONOR

PROCEEDS LAST BEFORE THE BRIDE.

LOVELY. LOVELY.

PERHAPS JUST THE LITTLEST BIT FASTER, DEAR.

AND NOW OUR MUSIC WILL CHANGE TO THE WEDDING MARCH,

AND ALL OUR WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL STAND

AND AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF OUR BEAUTIFUL BRIDE.

AND ONCE MARCIE MAKES IT TO THE END OF THE AISLE,

OUR MAID OF HONOR WILL TAKE HER BOUQUET.

- KATHERINE.

BOUQUET.

- RIGHT.

SORRY.

- AND THAT IS WHY WE REHEARSE, EVERYONE.

[laughter]

- OH, ONE SEC.

KAT.

THERE'S SOME PEOPLE I WANT YOU TO MEET.

THIS IS RICK'S COUSIN ANDY AND HIS WIFE CAROLINE.

THIS IS MY BEST FRIEND AND MAID OF HONOR, KATHERINE.

- IT'S SO GOOD TO MEET YOU. [laughs]

UH--UH, TOM AND I HAVE SOME LAST-MINUTE

MAID OF HONOR/BEST MAN BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO.

EXCUSE ME.

HI. - HEY.

ARE YOU OKAY? - I'M FINE.

CAN WE JUST HAVE A TALK IN PRIVATE?

THANKS. - SURE.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

- UM...

UH...

OH, WOW, I REALLY DIDN'T FIGURE OUT

WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY, DID I?

- SAY ABOUT WHAT? - ABOUT THE WEDDING.

- DO WE HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO PLAN?

- NO, NO, WE JUST--

WE JUST GET TO GO TO THE WEDDING NOW,

AND I WAS WONDERING IF...

YOU WANTED TO BE MY DATE.

- BUT WHAT ABOUT MICHAEL?

- MICHAEL IS A REALLY NICE GUY.

BUT WE'VE REALIZED WE ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE NOW.

AND SOMEBODY VERY WISE TOLD ME

THAT SOMETIMES THE PERSON YOU'RE MEANT TO BE WITH

IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU

AND YOU GENUINELY DON'T REALIZE IT.

I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING BETWEEN US

THAT I'VE JUST BEEN TOO BLIND TO SEE,

AND I KNOW I COULD NEVER REPLACE YOUR WIFE.
