(Night time crickets)

- Hey bro...

- Go to sleep, bro.

- How old do you think you'll be when you get married?

- Nineteen.

- Isn't that kind of young?

- Well you have to be married to have sex...

So I'm getting married as soon as possible.

- What do you think sex is like?

- The awesomest thing ever.

- How do you know?

- I just know, bro.

- I heard it feels like climbing the rope in gym.

- Who said that?

- Brian Jensen.

- He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's never climbed the rope in gym.

- On my wedding night, I want to do it ten times.

- I don't think that's possible.

- Bro, with God all things are possible.

(Music)

(Camera click)

(Camera click)

- One more.

Back over here, please. Not done.

(Camera clicks)

- Hey. - Hey...

- Over here, please!

- We're good.

- Wait...

I have something to tell you.

- It's time to cut the cake, kids.

Follow me.

- Can I just have a minute with my wife, please?

- You'll have plenty of time for that later.

- No, we won't.

- Why? You leaving her?

- Yes.

For Afghanistan.

(Marching drums)

(Knock, knock) - Yeah.

- Sir, just heard the new orders.

Are we really deploying May 19th?

- Yes. Why are you questioning your orders?

- I'm not questioning them, sir. I'm just um...

I'm asking questions about them.

I'm getting married on the 18th. If we leave on the 19th then I'll miss my honeymoon.

- Well those are the orders.

- Is there anything we can do?

- Sure, we'll postpone the mission. I'll tell the insurgents not to attack yet.

Now are you done questioning orders? Because I am busy following them.

- Yes, sir. Didn't mean to waste your time, sir.

- Nick...

The next nine months are gonna be hell.

Make it a night to remember.

(Marching music)

- Yes, sir.

Look, we only have an hour and if you want cake and all that we have to stay on schedule

- Fine.

Lead the way.

- I just wanted to say...

That you look more beautiful today than anything I've ever seen.

That's all.

- Ahem.

- Hi, Daddy.

- I saw you leave. Just want to make sure everything's okay.

- Everything's fine.

- Oh. Okay.

- Well they need you to cut the cake.

You can't cut the cake out here.

- Of course.

- Thanks for letting us know.

(Voice over) - He's a man who serves his country.

A man who loves his family.

And most importantly, a man who honors Jesus Christ in his life.

And I am certain that he is going to love Mary just as Christ loved the church.

And gave himself for her.

Here's to Nick and Mary.

- Thanks, Pastor. That was beautiful.

- All right, all right. That's enough of that.

- We've got to lighten the mood.

One time at Fall Harvest, our church's "we're not celebrating Halloween" celebration...

Nick is in the dunk tank.

Pastor Frank hits the target and Nick hits the water.

Then he gets up and everybody starts laughing.

Nick's like "Oh, they think it's funny cause I'm wet!"

So he starts hamming it up like, "Look at me. Look at me!"

- And then he notices everybody's staring at his crotch.

Those new white trunks?

Totally see-through!

(Laughter)

- He's not gonna show pictures, is he?

- Sshh.

- To Nick...

My little brother.

For all that he's shown us.

(More laughter)

- Nicholas, now that you're married...

we can talk about something that wouldn't have been appropriate before.

- Thanks, Grandpa. I'd rather not.

- Your Grandmother and I have been having relations for forty five years and counting.

It's a wonderful gift from the Lord if you use it right.

- Okay, I'll be sure to keep that in mind...

- Foreplay, Nicholas.

I want to tell you about a special thing called foreplay.

- Grandpa, I know what it is.

- How do you know about foreplay?

- I read about it.

- Don't tell me you looked it up on the Internet.

- No, I read a book. With no pictures.

- I know what goes on on the Internet. And it's not right.

But let me tell you what is. Now, foreplay means...

- Honestly, Grandpa, I'd rather not talk about this.

- Just listen. You'll thank me for it later.

Now, what it means is, everything you couldn't touch before, you touch.

And not just with your hands.

Do you know what I mean, Nicholas, when I say 'not just with your hands?'

- Yes, Grandpa. Please don't describe it to me.

- Well, anyway, you want to keep at it for a good long time.

Keep her waiting for the grand finale.

The longer you wait, the better it will be.

- Bye, Daddy.

- Are you sure you want to do this?

- Very sure, Daddy.

- I don't understand why you have to go so far away. What if something happens to you?

- I'll be fine.

- Well if anything happens you call me, okay?

- We're not bringing our phones, Daddy. I already told you that.

- Listen, remember what we talked about.

- Thanks for your concern, Daddy.

- You ready?

- Bye, baby girl.

- Not to spoil the mood but you two will see each other tomorrow.

(Door slams)

- Cheer up.

You just won the son-in-law jackpot.

- Well I hope it works out.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Nothing.

(Mischievous music)

- You know, now that we're married we don't have to wait anymore.

- You want to...

Now? - Yeah.

The drive's gonna take an hour.

- Here in the limo? - Why not?

- I thought we'd wait until the cottage.

- We can... do it there...

too.

- I want it to be special.

We've waited all this time. We can wait an hour more.

- Okay. Yeah.

- Look at all this.

- Take it easy. We have all night.

(Romantic music)

- I like this place.

Feels like a real home.

- It is. A farmer raised his family here.

Farmer Jack.

- That was his name?

- Yeah.

He decided to be a farmer because his name was Farmer.

His grandson rents it out now...

And he leaves these pictures out here so people can remember his grandpa.

- How do you know all this?

- I asked. Cause I thought you'd want to know.

- He doesn't look happy.

- It must not have been his wedding night.

- Do you think we'll ever live on a farm?

- I think we don't need to decide tonight.

- I bet you'd make a good farmer.

You have strong hands.

- You know what else I can do with my hands?

- If you were a farmer what would you grow?

- Babies.

(Music ends)

- Wait.

Can we pray first?

- Yeah. Of course.

- Lord we know that in all things you work for the good...

of those who love you.

Thank you for the blessings you have given us,

and for the blessings we're about to receive.

In your name we pray, amen. - Oh, God...

We love you so much. Thank you for such a wonderful day...

Thank you for all our friends and family.

Thank you, Lord. - Amen.

- Guide us as we start this journey together. Give us wisdom. - Amen... - And...

protect Nick while he's in Afghanistan. Bring him back to me safely.

- May your will be done in our lives, Lord.

Amen?

- Amen.

(Loud bagpipes)

- Excuse me. Excuse me!

Can you hear me?

Hey!

Hey!

(Music stops) - Do you realize what you've interrupted?

- I'm interrupting? - Yes.

Scotland's most sacred song. - Why are you playing Scotland's most sacred song here?

- To bring her honor and prosperity, of course.

How would you like it if I interrupted your national anthem?

What if I ran onto the field and punched the singer...

At one of your so-called football games?

- That's not the same thing. - Damn right it's not.

How often in that sport does the ball actually touch your feet?

Doesn't it make more sense to call a sport football...

When it touches your feet all the frickin' time? And what's 'soccer' mean?

That's not a sport. That's what you do when granny won't shut her trap.

- Look. You're more than welcome to play your song somewhere else.

- No. It has to be here. - Why?

- It's what I'm being paid to do.

- No, that can't be right. - It'd better be.

If he doesn't pay me I'll beat the shight out of him.

- No, I mean...

You must be at the wrong place. - No, this is the right place.

- Well you can ask him yourself. He's back there.

(Laughs)

- Toad? - You should see your face, bro!

(Bagpipes play) - What are you doing? - Huh?

I can't hear you over all the laughter on YouTube.

- This is my wedding night. - I know, I know, I'm sorry.

We're gonna go.

As soon as he finishes his song!

Which as you can see he's quite passionate about.

Bro, bro...

Don't be lame.

Come on, man. You gotta admit this is funny.

(Bagpipes stop)

- All right, you can go now. - This marriage is hereby blessed...

by His Grace, the Duke of Argyll...

Earl of Campbell. As administered by his officer...

Liam MacTavish.

May this union bring peace and happiness...

to these two people and the great nation of Scotland.

And her allies.

I added that last part for you.

What God has joined together, let no man separate.

(Clapping)

Have a pleasant evening.

- Enjoy your wedding present, bro.

(Pats on back)

- Sorry about that.

- Does he think that's okay?

- Well, you see...

He's my brother.

(Door clicks)

(Rattle, rattle)

(Rattle, rattle, rattle)

(More rattling)

(Even more rattling)

(Bang, bang!)

- Try a window!

- These windows do not open.

Farmer Jack! - What do we do?

- We can stay the night out here on the patio.

- What if someone sees us? - We're in the middle of nowhere.

- Your brother found us easy enough. - Okay...

Let's go to the woods.

- Or we could go back to town and get a nice hotel.

- How are we gonna get there?

- No. That would take another hour.

- Wouldn't that be better than spending the night in the cold?

- Look, there's gotta be a barn or something around here, right?

God will provide.

- Maybe he already did.

Maybe we're not supposed to stay here tonight.

- Hey!

- Go back laddy!

Don't be afraid!

It's supposed to feel that way!

- Well that was pretty dumb of you guys to lock yourselves out.

Good thing I was here.

- What is that?

- You touch that and I'll kick you in the shight pipe.

- I don't need extra motivation not to touch it.

(Ragtime piano music)

- So, you two are brothers.

I always wish I had a brother.

You know, someone to fight alongside with...

or even with! It's much better than being on your own.

Or worse. With girls.

Unless it's to... you know.

- Are you mad? - No.

- Then why aren't you talking?

- What do you want me to talk about?

- That's lame if your mad, bro.

- I just want to get to a hotel, okay?

- Fine.

- Did you two ever have a really good fight when you were lads?

You know, really punch each other ugly?

- No. - Never?

Not even once?

- We weren't allowed to fight. - Well nobody's allowed to...

but you do it anyway. You beat each other...

till it's out of your system, then you share a pint, and it's all better.

- I had to fight me mates.

- I can't imagine the joy of sharing something like that with me own flesh and blood.

- Well, that's how it's supposed to go.

A few times it got a bit bad, so we had to make ground rules.

No weapons of any kind.

No scratchin' of the eyes.

And no pokin' a finger up the arse!

- Will you please stop? - What?

- We clearly don't want to talk about this. - It's a long ride.

I thought we'd get to know each other.

- Let's talk about something else.

- In other words, let's not get to know each other, aye?

- You've caught us off guard.

Getting to know someone new is not what we expected for our wedding night.

- An unexpected benefit!

You are clearly unaware of the value of the Duke's blessing.

- You got that right.

- Well, it appears conversing with these two is a waste of time.

How about you, lassie? How did you come to meet this untalkative gentleman?

(Piano music)

- It could be his text book.

- It's definitely a Bible.

- Which could be his text book.

- But he's not taking notes. - So?

I read textbooks without taking notes all the time.

- But he seems interested. If it was for class he'd be bored.

- I think you're only saying that because you're interested.

- I'm gonna go talk to him. - Don't.

- Pray for me.

- Do not awaken love until love so desires!

- What are you reading?

- The Bible.

- Is that for class?

- No. - If it's not for class then why read it?

- Cause I want to learn.

- Why? - Cause I think it's important.

- So you can know what all the crazy Christians believe and attack them? - What?

No. Why would you think that?

- Well you're just sitting here reading not talking to anybody.

How am I supposed to know what you're thinking?

- What about you? You read the Bible?

- Maybe. - Maybe? You do or you don't.

- Maybe I don't want to tell you. - Why?

- Because I don't know your intentions.

- Who are you?

- I'm someone who wants to know why you read the Bible every morning.

- Because I want to know the Word of God.

So I can live my life for Him.

- Is that what you were waiting for?

- Interesting. I don't believe I've ever heard that one before.

- Nick has a lot of unique qualities.

- Yeah, like being a total butt face.

- Shut up, Toad.

- Check it: I'm gettin' mad hits on YouTube!

Bro, you're the only one who does not think this is funny.

Okay, we're gonna get to Everett soon.

And you can have your precious wedding night.

- Everett? We're going to Ferndale.

- These guys gotta get to Everett.

- You told me we were going to Ferndale.

- Okay, well it's getting late. - That's why we have to get to Ferndale.

Before he goes to sleep.

- How long will that take? - About another hour.

- You can go to Ferndale tomorrow. I'll buy your bus ticket.

- No! We're going now.

It's the only reason I took this job.

- Plans change.

- I'll play my bagpipes until you surrender.

(Bagpipes playing)

- Hey, hey, hey! Liam!

Liam! Let's talk about this!

All right! All right! We'll go to Ferndale.

- Thank you.

- Bro! No! - It's just an hour.

- An additional hour. - Yes. What do you want me to do?

He's gonna play his stupid bagpipes if we don't.

- Correction. I will play my beautiful bagpipes.

If you don't like them the fault is with your ears.

- Let's just get a hotel in Ferndale.

- We can't. - Why?

- I don't have my wallet.

- I thought you always kept it in your back pocket.

- I left it in my bag so I wouldn't look like uncle turd pants in the pictures.

- Then how would we get a hotel in Everett?

- Your dad has my bag. I can get it from him.

- Oh.

- He should be awake still, right?

- I don't know. I'd hate to bother him.

- Toad, if you dropped us off in Ferndale, could we borrow some money for a hotel?

- Maybe. If somebody else lends it to you.

I spent all my cash on your wedding blessing.

- Liam? Could you loan us some money?

- I'm sorry, lassie, but it's already been deposited.

I carry neither cash nor card in case I am robbed by bandits.

- We'll just have to wait till Everett.

- After we drop him off it will only be another forty five minutes.

- You're not dropping me off.

I need a ride back after me work in Ferndale's through.

- Well how long will that take?

- Not long. About half an hour.

- This is our wedding night!

Whatever you have to do, can't it just wait till tomorrow?

- No.

- What could possibly be so important?

- Fulfilling my father's dying wish.

I would have told you about it if you tried to get to know me.

- What's the wish?

- That I bring a gift to his old friend Hamish who moved here fifty years ago.

Dad wanted to see Hamish more than anything, but due to his health he couldn't travel.

So on his death bed he charged me with bringing Hamish a gift.

- What is it?

- Something to remember him by.

My father has been telling me stories about Hamish my entire life.

He always said that I should meet him someday.

And now today is someday.

- What's wrong?

- Wait.

We have to stop. - Why?

- We have to make sure we don't go too far.

- We won't. - A lot of people say that but then they do.

- We're just kissing.

- I know. But we're alone. - So?

- So it makes me feel like doing things we shouldn't do before we're married.

- Like what?

- I can't say it. Because if I say it, it will make me want to do it even more.

- I should go.

- Wait.

What did you mean by before we're married?

- You know...

We're not married.

- Right, I know, but that's not what you said. You said before we're married.

Does that mean you want to marry me?

- I didn't mean that.

- So you don't want to marry me.

- I didn't mean that either. - Well what did you mean?

- I didn't mean anything...

I mean...

I have been thinking about it.

- Well what have you been thinking about it?

- What do you mean?

- I mean when you think about it do you think you would want to marry me...

or you wouldn't want to marry me?

- What's it matter?

- You don't think it matters whether or not you want to marry me?

- No, I meant...

Why are you asking me all this?

- Because I want to marry you.

- Really?

- Because I want to marry you, too...

I just didn't know if you wanted to marry me.

- Really?

- So are we engaged?

- No. Not yet.

I have to talk to your dad.

- Well if we know we want to get married then what's it matter?

- I want to do it right.

- There's nothing in the Bible that says 'Thou shalt ask her dad awkward questions.'

Let's just be engaged.

- Won't he be upset?

- You can talk to him later.

The important thing is, you have my permission.

- All right, then.

We're engaged.

I should go.

- Why? - All that stuff I wanted to do earlier?

- Being engaged just makes me want to do it a whole lot more.

- Well...

Now we know we can someday.

- Yeah. Someday.

- I'm here, father.

I'm here.

(Knock, knock)

- Whatever happens, follow my lead.

- Hello, laddy. Is this the residence of Hamish Sinclair?

- Yeah.

- Might I see him?

- What's this about?

- He and my father were friends in Scotland...

when they were your age.

I would very much like to see him.

- Come in.

(Click, click)

- We got visitors.

- Hello.

(Stomp, stomp)

- Have a seat.

(Knock, knock)

- Grandpa?

- Get out of me room!

- I'm not in your room. I'm in the doorway.

- Get out of me doorway.

- Somebody's here to see you.

- Aye, and I told him to get out.

- Not me. Somebody from Scotland.

- Oh?

- Yeah, he's even got one of those dresses.

- Fetch me a whiskey, ya doltish numpty.

- I have no clue what that means, Grandpa.

- What part are you from, then?

- Fort William, sir.

- Aye, a highlander.

Same as meself.

What's your name?

- Liam.

- Liam?

Do they still have the habit of giving surnames in Fort William?

- Aye, they do, sir.

You would recognize my surname, as it is my father's.

- I know your father?

- You knew him, sir.

He passed a year ago.

- Sorry to hear that.

Who was he?

- A carpenter.

The best in town.

- Glad to hear it.

Be gladder to hear his name.

- Well, before I tell you that, sir...

Can I ask you if you remember another name?

Moira Garvie.

- Of course.

The maiden name of me dear wife.

Gone these thirteen years.

What kind of a question is that?

- Can you tell me the story of how you two met?

- I thought I was going to talk to a highlander, not a heckler.

- My father's name...

was Ian MacTavish.

Who was your best friend when you were lads.

And Moira Garvie was to be his own dear wife.

Before you took her and ran away to America.

He was drunk a year straight after that.

No one thought he would recover. But...

do you know what he did?

He found himself a better wife.

And with her, he made a better life.

And he raised a son.

Who he taught the value of loyalty.

And as he lay dying...

He mustered all the strength left in his frail body...

To make you something.

And he asked me to deliver it.

- What be that?

(Water dribbling)

- It's done, father!

Ya pissed on old Hamish!

Just like you wanted!

(Clang, stomp, stomp)

(Footsteps running away)

- Dad! Grandpa wizzed his pants again.

- Let's get out of here.

- What about him?

- I don't think he wants us here anymore.

- But he's covered in... - It'll wash out.

- We are so sorry. We did not know he was gonna do that.

- I have to give Grandpa a bath now.

Whoever you are, you ruined my night!

- Is he gonna be okay? (Snap!) - Ouch!

- I saw what you did.

- It's not our fault. We didn't know...

(Snap, snap)

(Snap)

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, it's okay.

I'm fine. It just stings a little.

- Is he still there?

- No, but...

Hey Toad?

Liam?

- Where are we going?

- Away from here.

- Are we gonna walk to Everett? - Nope.

- Then how will we get there?

- God will provide.

- Do you think he doesn't want us to have sex tonight?

- Nope. - Are you sure?

- Very sure.

- Why?

- He wouldn't do that to us.

- But we're stranded.

- No, we're not.

We're at our honeymoon suite.

- I don't know why all this has happened tonight...

but this isn't what we waited for.

So it's time to stop waiting.

- In the woods?

- Like Adam and Eve in the garden.

We'll find our way back later.

Maybe all this craziness is God's way of telling us it's okay to do something crazy.

- But I didn't want it like this.

- I didn't either.

But I also didn't want to bring Liam to that house.

And I didn't want to get locked out of ours. And I don't want to go to Afghanistan.

God doesn't always give us everything we want.

But you know what he is giving us?

A honeymoon suite.

- Won't we be cold?

- No.

(Mischievous music)

- Did you hear that?

- It's nothing.

- But it's coming closer.

Do you think it's an animal?

- I don't think we should worry about it.

- But it's coming this way.

(Rustle, rustle)

(Branches break)

- Whoa! - Hey!

- What are you doing?

- What do you think, man?

- Here in the woods.

- We didn't have much of a choice.

- Where's the car?

- It was gone when I came out.

Liam must have taken it.

- Okay, well we're gonna stay the night here so if you could just move along...

- You're ditching me?

- You're the one who ran away.

- He had a gun.

- A bb gun.

- Sshh. He will hear you.

I outran him but he's probably not far.

- Look, there's plenty of woods here...

so if you could just go find your own hiding spot...

- I cannot believe you're abandoning me.

My car got stolen.

- Well my wedding night was stolen.

- Sshh. Listen.

(Bagpipes)

- Liam. - He's calling us.

- We better hurry. The kid will hear it, too.

- You go ahead and we'll find another way back.

- Seriously?

- Hold on. Can we talk about this?

- We've waited long enough.

- But in another hour we could be in a nice hotel.

- We don't need a hotel. We got our honeymoon suite.

- What if that kid comes back? Or an animal?

- What if something else happens with Toad?

- Nick, please.

We're so close.

- Okay, let's go.

(Bagpipes)

- Liam! We thought you'd left us.

- You clearly did not listen to the 'follow my lead' part.

(Snap)

- Ouch!

(Snap, snap)

- Hurry!

(Snap, Snap)

(Snap)

(Snap, snap, snap)

(Snap, snap)

- Victory is ours!

- Woo-hoo!

- Okay, was that for real?

Did you really carry around a bucket of your dead dad's piss for a year?

- Aye.

- That is oddly impressive.

- We made it.

Aren't you glad we didn't stay in the woods?

- Yeah, you were right.

- Remember that.

- All right. Uh...

I'm heading in.

- Good night.

- Liam...

It's been real. Next time you need help delivering a bucket...

call somebody else.

- What? No loyalty?

- Listen, why don't I go get your wallet from Daddy.

- You don't want me to come?

- Oh, that's not what I meant.

- Okay, then I'll come.

- You don't have to do that.

- Well it's buried down in my bag.

It'll take you awhile to find.

- You know what? I'll get the wedding gift money.

It'll be with the other presents.

- Is your dad okay?

- He's fine. Why would you say that?

- He just seemed pretty tense today.

I don't know him very well, but...

it seemed like something was wrong.

- Nothing's wrong. I'll explain what happened and he will understand.

- Maybe don't tell him about Liam.

It might stress him out.

- Nick, we have nothing to hide from my father.

- Thomas. I'm surprised you're still awake after such a long day.

- I have a lot on my mind.

- Thinking about all the wonderful qualities of your new son-in-law?

Yes, I imagine that would keep you up a long time.

- Well, good night.

- Oh I'm not turning in yet. Just going out for a snack for Nora and I.

We like to eat between rounds. You know, keep the energy up.

- Good luck with that.

- Luck has nothing to do with it.

It's all by the grace of God.

- Okay.

- I know you do not like my grandson.

Why is that?

- I wouldn't say I don't like him.

Fact is I hardly know him.

- Then you should get to know him.

- I've tried. He's always busy.

- Well serving our country is a lot of work.

- Yes, he seems to love the Army.

So much that he's leaving her to be with them.

- Duty calls. What do you expect him to do?

- How about wait till he gets back. He didn't have to rush.

There's only one reason why he'd want to marry her before he goes.

- Bit late to be worrying about that. Don't you think?

- Did you know he didn't ask for my blessing before he proposed?

He just charged right in.

- Knowing what I know of you, I might have done the same thing.

- Yes, have it delivered to room 613, please.

Thank you.

- Gosh, why's this cart so heavy?

- Aah! - Nevermind. Stupid idea.

- Daddy!

- Baby girl?

Baby girl?

Is that you?

Baby girl?

Baby girl?

(Door opens)

(sighs)

- Lord God, I'm so worried about my baby girl. I'm even hearing her voice.

Please keep her safe.

Keep her safe from him, Lord.

Who is this man, Lord, who I've given my daughter?

What are his intentions?

Did I give my innocent sheep to a wolf?

What's gonna happen, Lord Jesus?

What are they doing right now, Lord God?

I'm afraid to even think about it, Lord.

Protect my baby girl tonight. Especially if they...

(thump)

- Baby girl!

- Daddy, don't freak out.

- What did he do to you?

- Nothing.

- Thank God.

- We got locked out so we came into town. We just need money. I'll see you later.

- Wait! Where is he?

- Outside.

- He sent you in here alone to sneak in and steal money?

- It's our money, Daddy.

- Then why the sneaking?

- I didn't want to disturb you.

- You better stay here while I get this straightened out.

- There's nothing to straighten out, Daddy. I have to get back to Nick.

- Well I'm going with you.

- You don't have to do that.

- I have to make sure you're okay.

- I am okay.

- Then there's no harm in checking.

- Think of the pipes.

You have the long firm quality of the pipe.

And the small opening quality of the pipe.

You put the two together, and...

- You see?

- Once again, I know what to do.

- Leg positions...

- Liam, you don't have to wait with me.

You can go wherever you're going.

- Nonsense.

No one should be alone on their wedding night.

- Come on, lad.

- Mary won't know where I am.

- We'll come back.

- No, I have to stay.

- Loyalty. Good man.

- Remember the pipes.

- See? He's right here...

- He's abandoned you.

(truck door slams)

- You're disgraceful.

- Hey! How dare you talk that way to my daughter!

- Calm down, Daddy.

- No! My baby girl is not disgraceful.

She is a precious, beautiful flower.

- Well, she didn't do anything directly.

But she was with the guy who did.

- And that's enough.

- What did he do?

- Hey!

You guys already got us back. This has gone far enough.

- No it hasn't. My grandpa told me what you did.

How you held him down...

And even though he fought mightily his strength

was no match for your unfair advantage in numbers.

- Okay, that's not true.

Look, we were just as surprised as you guys were.

- There's no excuse. We're here to even the score.

- Liam already left.

- Then there's more for you.

- This one's very popular with the ladies.

- I'll take it.

I want to smell real good for my wife on our wedding night.

- Daddy, Nick has to borrow some of your clothes, okay?

- What happened? What did you do?

- It was a misunderstanding, Daddy. Everything's fine.

- That kid out there didn't think everything was fine.

Did you get in a fight?

- Nick needs to take a shower, Daddy.

- No, we need to talk about this.

What kind of man gets in a fight on his wedding night?

- I'll explain everything.

Go ahead.

- Don't use my shaving kit!

- Daddy!

- What did he do?

- Nothing, Daddy. We gave someone a ride and he pulled a prank on them.

- That boy said he was violent.

- He's wrong, Daddy.

None of that happened. I was there.

- Are you lying to protect him?

Don't you dare lie to me. This is serious business.

- Daddy, please don't do this.

It's already been a hard night.

- You said he was a nice, Christian, man.

This is not the behavior of a nice, Christian man.

- He's a good man, Daddy. You'll see.

- Or you'll see. That he's not the man you think he is.

That he rushed you into marriage just so he could have his way with you.

- I don't want to talk about that anymore, Daddy.

I've told you a million times.

- Why else would he rush the wedding? What's gonna happen when he gets back?

I read an article on the Internet...

about a man who went to Afghanistan, came back, and forgot he was married.

- I'll write him letters so he won't forget.

- He won't be reading letters.

He'll be shooting guns and getting in fights. Look what happened tonight.

- It wasn't a fight!

- Then why did they pour tinkle water on him?

- Daddy, I'm already married.

Trying to talk me out of it won't help anymore.

- Yes, you're married.

But remember...

if the marriage isn't consumated, then you could have it annulled.

- Oh my gosh.

- And it wouldn't be a sin. It would be like it never happened.

- Stop, Daddy.

- Well if you won't listen to me, then listen to God.

You were locked out of the cottage, baby girl, it's a sign.

- Just give it some time.

Make him prove himself.

- I can't hear you.

- Let him go off to the Army. We'll see how it goes when he comes back.

- I still can't hear you.

- I just don't want you to get hurt, baby girl.

(Door opens)

- Is everything okay?

- Everything's fine.

- Well we should be going.

- No, no. You don't have to do that. You can stay here.

- Excuse me?

- Well there's two beds.

- We'll get our own room.

- But it's so late and you're already here. Just stay here.

- Thanks anyway, Daddy.

- I can't let you go outside with those horrible people out there.

- They left.

- But what if they come back. What if they have another bucket.

- Then we'll get a room here.

- But that's silly. You already have a room here.

- Daddy, Nick and I are gonna step outside and discuss this.

(Door opens)

- Wait.

- We have to hurry. In 30 seconds he's gonna come out and see if I'm okay.

- We can't leave without telling him.

- I did tell him.

I said we were stepping outside.

I said nothing about stepping back in.

- Well won't he be mad?

- I know how to deal with my father.

- Wait. What about the money?

(Door opens)

- He took her.

He took my baby girl.

(Happy music)

(Happy music)

- Hello?

We need a room!

- Nick...

- Where's the money?

- Daddy probably took it out and put it someplace safe.

- Why are you doing this?

- It'll work out. God will provide.

- Well so far he's provided a whole lot of...

- I know it doesn't seem like it now, but someday we'll look back on all of this and laugh.

It'll be a funny story to tell our kids.

- Kids? What kids?

How are we gonna have kids if we don't have sex?

- The night isn't over yet.

- We have to go back to your dad.

- We can't do that.

- Mary, what is going on with him?

- While you were in the shower we had an argument.

- About what?

- I don't want to talk about it.

Tonight is not about him.

I'll deal with him tomorrow.

- Well what if I talk to him?

- No.

- Why not?

- He doesn't know you well enough to listen to you.

That's just how he is.

- Then what do we do?

- What about your brother?

- No, he won't help.

- Is there anybody else?

- My grandparents.

They'd let us use your room. They're right by your dad.

- We can't go there.

- Mary, what is going on...

- Let's just find some woods or a barn or something.

It'll be an adventure.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

(Locked)

(Locked)

(Locked)

(Locked)

(Locked)

(Open)

(Door slam)

- Should we try the marina?

- We didn't try this one yet.

- There's nothing down there but that church.

(Choir music)

- This is where God was leading us.

- Why?

- So we can...

You know.

- In church?

- Sex is a gift from God.

Maybe he wanted to remind us.

- What do you think?

- Can we pray about it?

- Lord, let us know what we should do.

I think you led us here for a reason.

But if I'm wrong...

show us a sign.

Amen. - Amen.

(Nudge)

(Nudge)

(Nudge)

(Nudge)

(Nudge)

- I haven't seen any signs yet.

- Well...

I think we know what we have to do, then.

(Handel's Hallelujah Chorus)

(Handel's Hallelujah Chorus)

- Are you ready?

- Yes.

- Finally.

(Door creaking)

(Foot steps)

- Lord Jesus, what do I do?

I've looked everywhere.

I can't find her.

- Is that your dad?

- Lead me to her, Lord God.

Please show me the way.

- Let's go.

- He's gonna see us.

- No. He can't.

- I've checked every hotel...

They're not there.

But they have to be somewhere, Lord God, somewhere.

Where?

Where has he taken her?

What has he done to her?

Protect her, Lord God.

Save her from him.

Who knows, Lord Jesus, what wicked intentions he has.

- What is he talking about?

- But Lord...

I know you are mighty.

Mighty even over the lustful desires of men.

- So Lord, I ask that you stretch out your powerful arm...

And thwart him.

May this night pass with no union between them.

Confound his plans.

Darken his path. Smite his loins.

Make his labor unfruitful.

Raise up a wall of protection around my sweet baby girl.

Send your guardian angels to her aide, Lord God.

I beg of you. Hear me, oh Lord.

Hear my prayer!

- Oh Lord, hear my prayer!

- Give my dear grandson the joy and fulfillment he so rightfully deserves.

Bless him, oh Lord! Bless him abundantly!

- Lord, we know you do not hear the prayer of sinners.

You hear the prayer of those who find favor in your eyes.

- And you do not favor those who seek your favor selfishly.

- Your favor, Lord God, rests on those who care for the needs of others more than their own.

- And those who are wise enough to discern what those needs actually are.

- Lord God, may you strike down those who do not act according to your will.

- Yes, God! That would be great!

- May your anger burn against them!

- Amen!

- Stop!

Both of you.

Stop praying.

- Where is she? What have you done?

- Calm down. She's right here.

- Don't look at me, Daddy.

- I will guard the door.

No one will come in till you come out.

You have my word.

- Well, we should get started.

(Pats)

- Wait.

We need to talk.

- We finally have a hotel room to ourselves and you want to talk?

- Don't you think we should?

- No.

- Mary, I know this is hard but we have to talk about this.

- About what?

- Your dad.

What is wrong with him?

- Nothing.

- Then why would he say all that?

- It's just gonna take him awhile to adjust.

- It's not just that.

What does he have against me?

- You married his daughter.

- Then why didn't he say anything before? Why now?

- I don't always know why he does what he does, okay.

But I do know I don't like the way you're talking about him.

- Mary this is nothing against you.

- Yes, it is.

He's my father.

You say something about him, then you say something about me.

- Well he's saying things about me and I'm your husband.

- He doesn't mean it.

In time he'll realize you're not gonna hurt me.

- Why would he think I would hurt you?

- He's just worried. That's all.

He doesn't actually believe it will happen.

- Well sure sounds like he believes it.

Asking God to thwart me?

Seems to be working, by the way.

- Just give it some time.

- I don't have time. I'm leaving tomorrow and then you're gonna be alone with him.

Then what's he gonna say about me?

- Are you saying you don't trust me?

- I'm saying we shouldn't let this go.

We have to talk to him.

- He won't listen.

- He has to. We can't have this.

- Well what about your brother?

- Who said anything about my brother?

- You didn't.

- He interrupted our wedding night and you didn't confront him.

- That was just a prank.

- On our wedding night.

Why didn't you say anything?

- I said something.

- You complained but you didn't confront.

- He's my older brother.

He's not gonna...

- He's not gonna listen.

See?

- You're right.

- Thank you.

- We have to talk to them both.

- We can't change them.

- But we can let them know where we stand.

- Now?

- This can't wait nine months.

- Done already?

Maybe give it another try.

(Knock, knock)

- Hmm

- Toad, it's Nick.

(Knock, knock)

I know you're in there. Open up.

(Door opens) - What the hell, bro?

- You woke me up to stare at me?

That's weird.

- Look, what you did was not cool.

- What did I do?

- Interrupting us at the cottage.

That was not cool.

- A hundred likes on YouTube say otherwise.

- I don't mean 'cool' like what people think is cool.

I mean you can't do that anymore.

- I know.

- Okay.

It's not just about that.

- Okay, well what's it about?

- Look, I know you're my older brother...

But I'm married now.

- So?

- So I'm not your punching bag anymore.

- So now that you're married you think you're better than me.

- No, that's not what I'm saying.

- Yeah, it is.

- You've got all this attention going to your head and I'm the only one keeping you in check.

- Well I don't want you to do that anymore.

- I'll do what I want.

What are you gonna do about it?

- Well this is stupid.

Get out.

- No, we're not done.

- No, I said get out.

- No.

- How can you do this to me?

- You started this.

- No, you started this.

Cause you got married before me.

Now everyone says that I'm a loser.

Cause I don't have it all figured out...

like mister golden boy.

- Look, I'm not better than you.

Just luckier.

- Oh.

So even God likes you better.

- Are people really saying all that?

Or are you just saying that yourself.

Your day will come, bro.

(Door opens)

- Need a minute?

- Need a minute?

- Wait. What will you say?

- Trust me.

- But he doesn't trust you. That's the problem.

- I'm asking you to trust me.

Okay?

- Okay.

(Knock, knock)

- We need to talk.

- I will speak with my daughter.

Alone.

- No, sir. You'll not.

- What do you want? Aside from the obvious.

- I know we haven't had a chance to get to know each other.

But I want to reassure you that I'm going to treat Mary well.

- I hear words. But I see actions.

You attack people. You try to steal money and run.

- That's not true.

Things happened tonight, and I can see why you'd be worried.

But it's not true.

- You think I'm wrong? You think the problem is me?

- Yes, sir.

- You want me to just step aside so you can have your way with my daughter?

- I think there's no need to fight.

We're on the same team.

- Again. Words. What about actions?

- What have I done to make you so suspicious of me?

- Let's talk about what you haven't done.

You never talked to me.

You snuck around and wooed my daughter behind my back.

- There's was never a chance to talk to you.

- Right, because you're so busy with the Army.

I asked Mary a hundred times, "When do I get to talk to this guy?"

But it's always, "He's busy."

And then you propose without even asking for my blessing.

What kind of man does that? A man who has something to hide. That's what I say.

- Well yeah, the engagment was spontaneous...

But then I wrote you that letter.

- Letter? What letter?

- The letter asking for your blessing.

- I think I would have remembered a letter like that.

I never got any letter from him, sweetie.

Don't let him fool you with his eyes.

You were afraid I'd learn about you, weren't you?

You knew I'd find out you're not who everyone thinks you are.

You're just another sex-crazed boy trying to take advantage of my sweet little girl.

Well you can't hide anymore.

The light of truth has exposed you.

- You're right.

I have been hiding something.

I'm an idiot.

I've been hiding my stupidity.

I didn't realize how important it was to talk to you...

And I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?

- Daddy, he's lying.

- I knew it.

- He's not the one who's been hiding something.

I am.

You wanted to see him. I said he's busy.

He wanted to see you. And I said he's busy.

He wrote you a letter.

And I ripped it up.

- Why?

- Every boy that ever wanted to date me, you scared away.

- The ones with bad intentions.

- All of them, Daddy.

You scared them all away.

And then I met Nick.

And I loved him so much.

Maybe I shouldn't have lied, but I couldn't stand the thought of losing him.

- So you did think it was important to talk to me?

That means you were lying just now.

- Because that's the kind of man he is.

The kind that would do anything to protect me.

See?

He's just like you.

- Why rush the wedding? Why not wait?

- I didn't want Mary to wonder what would happen when I came back.

I wanted her to know that I'm hers forever.

- I'd like to be alone right now.

- Daddy...

- I'm all right.

Please go.

- Hey, nobody's gonna scare me away. Okay?

Not your dad, not anyone.

I'm not going anywhere.

Except to Afghanistan.

But you know what I mean.

- Thank you.

I'm gonna freshen up.

- All right. Don't take too long.

- It'll be worth it.

- It'll be worth it.

(Door opens)

(Door opens)

(Knock, Knock)

- Go away!

- Nicholas?

- What, Grandpa?

- Mary's father is here.

He says he's giving you two a ride to the base?

- Yeah, in the morning.

- It's morning.

- God! Why?!

(Sad music)

(Sad music)

- Wait.

I spent some time in prayer.

- Yeah, we know.

- And I want to say this marriage has my blessing.

- Thank you, sir.

- Well I'll be in the car.

- Daddy...

I love you.

- I love you, too, Mary.

- Well...

- Wait.

Before you say anything, I have to apologize.

- For what?

- You were right.

If we had...

In the limo, or the woods.

- It's not your fault.

It was God's will.

- You really think so?

- Yeah.

- But why would he do that?

- I don't know, but...

I have an idea.

Maybe he wanted me to learn that you're the most amazing woman on the planet.

And if you can handle last night, you can handle anything.

And when I get back...

I get to spend the rest of my life with you.

Now that's something worth waiting for.

(Bagpipes playing)

- Liam, what are you doing here?

- We did not get the chance to say a proper goodbye last night.

So I thought I'd catch you here.

- Well you caught us.

- I happened to see you passing by in the wee hours. Leaving the church with some others.

I take it you did not do what you hoped to do?

- Unfortunately.

- Aye, sometimes the timing of things is not what we'd expect.

- Well thanks for coming to see us, Liam.

Good luck out there.

- Wait!

Before you go, I wanted to thank you for helping me last night.

So I made you something.

Don't worry. It isn't piss.

It's pipes.

Something to remember me by.

(Laughter)

- Well I uh...

I have to go.

- Morning, Nick.

- Morning, sir.

- Are you ready for war?

- Yes, sir.

- Well you're gonna have to wait.

- Sir?

- We're delayed until tomorrow.

Have to reinspect the transport planes.

Apparently they're missing some pipes.

(Bagpipes)

- Permission to leave my post and come back tomorrow, sir?

- Well there's still work to do.

But it can wait.
