Steve hated the fact

That my mother was engaged to Andy...

Oh, she's coming. Yeah, give me that gnome.

a man who kind of looked like this.

Perfect!

he'd even come up with a theory

About why they were together.

Your magic spell is about to be broken, gnome.

and he was about to see

If he'd been successful undoing the spell.

Oh, there she is!

Sleep well?

Have any, uh, interesting dreams?

You've asked me that same exact question

For two weeks now and I keep telling you that--

Wait a minute.

I do remember my dream.

Was it horseback riding, or...?

it was. How did you know?

he knew it because, believe it or not,

He'd actually spent the last few weeks

Trying to make her have that dream.

And let's get my scent and pump it into her tree house.

And pictures of me.

Change all the photos we have framed into photos of me.

Done. Oh, no, what's going on here?

It's an idea I got from this book

About mind control.

For some reason, I felt compelled to buy it

Before I even knew why,

But now I do.

This is clearly what Andy's been doing

To control Emmy into staying engaged to him.

Well, now it's my turn,

And I'm gonna permeate her subconscious mind

With hidden images and secret suggestions

To point out how wrong Andy is for her

And how I'm her knight in shining armor.

Like in a romance novel.

that is a great idea.

I'll have a romance novel

Written about star-crossed lovers

Who deserve to be together, but can't--

Not unlike ourselves, but less premise-heavy--

And I'll leave it around for her to read.

and so operation "dump Andy" began.

And pack it full of subliminal sex stuff, you know.

he hired a romance novelist to write a novel.

You don't need to shy away from double entendre.

Like have her eating a banana

While he's making love to her.

he posed for the cover of the book.

Of course he got Andy in there, too.

He even redid his kitchen

So he could have these placed all around the mansion,

All to lead up to this.

So what happened while you were horseback riding

In this dream last night?

Okay, we were in the woods,

And the rider and I...

made love.

Who is this rider

That you clearly prefer to the--

Was there some kind of a,

I don't know, like a...

Like an eco-gnome that you were being rescued from?

aw, come on!

That's right. It was Andy.

Andy saved me from you,

And then he took me into the woods,

And he... made love to me.

No! That can't be!

That's not the way this romance goes.

It's like hearing that prince charming

Dry-humped sleeping beauty right before he...

kissed her.

Yes, it is disappointing. As bad as finding out

That someone would try to subliminally manipulate

Your unconscious with mind games!

What gave me away?

I don't know. Maybe the fact that copies of this book

Are on the floors of every bathroom

In this house.

Why did I buy so many copies of this?

Hey, wait. Emmy, hang on.

Wait, I shouldn't have tried to control your mind. Emmy!

Look, Emmy, Emmy, Emmy, I'm sorry.

Okay, yes, it was a bad idea.

I should have been more direct.

I was only worried that Andy had already done it to you.

Because my mind is so weak

And I'm that easy to program?

Does that seem like who I am?

Not when you say it like that.

I couldn't think of any other reason

Why you'd be with a guy like him.

I mean, I'm sorry, but where's the romance?

Okay, first of all,

Not that it is any of your business,

But he and I have a mature relationship.

It is not one based off of dreams and fairy tales--

Horses and gnomes like that little romance novel

You left lying around about the king of--

What was it, banana-land?

Interesting that you'd remember that.

Did it ever occur to you

That I'm engaged to Andy because I love him?

No. I can honestly say

That it's never occurred to me that you love him.

Well, I do.

Okay, well, then forgive

The schoolyard quality of this taunt,

But if you love him so much,

Why don't you marry him?

What are you talking about?

I'm engaged to him. For six years.

There's a reason that you haven't married this guy.

Yeah, we can't afford it.

We always imagined that our wedding

Would be this big celebration with all of our friends,

And, no, we haven't had a lot of time or money

To make that happen.

Well, then you're in luck,

Because those are two things

That I have a great deal of.

Yes, but I don't want to marry you, Steve.

Hey, look, I don't want to marry anyone.

What I'm saying is, if it's important to you,

I'd be happy to pay for it an take care of everything.

So it wouldn't bother you

If I ran off and married Andy.

If it would make you happy, I'd be thrilled.

Thrilled now? Wow! That's right.

I would be careful if I were you,

Because if you offer to throw me a wedding,

I will take you up on it.

Well, then consider it offered.

Consider it taken.

but migo was concerned.

Wow, man.

You just got manipulated.

No, you were right.

I just needed to be more direct.

Once she asks me not to throw this wedding,

She's gonna have to admit

That she doesn't love this guy.

No, Steve. Being direct

Is looking somebody in the eye

And saying, "you don't want to do this, Steve."

Yeah. First of all, even an idiot would get that,

Although you did say "Steve."

Look, I'm telling you as a friend,

Weddings are powerful, archetypal type things.

You know how I ended up getting married?

I met with my girlfriend

To explain how I'd never get married!

You don't mess with weddings.

Don't worry.

It's just a game of chicken.

Yes, but it will become a game of chicken...

Or fish.

I had just found out

That Steve was throwing a wedding for my mom and Andy.

What are you rushing into that for?

You've only been engaged for six years.

Look, Andy and I are gonna get married someday,

But now is not the time.

And I am certainly not gonna let the guy

Who's trying to drive me away from Andy

Throw the wedding.

The priest would probably end up being fa'ad in disguise.

Well, you better stop Steve

If you don't want to get married.

I can't do that. He'll think I don't want to get married.

See, the thing is, he won't admit

That he would be devastated if I did something like that.

So I am going to call his bluff.

Don't worry. I won't let him spend any real money.

I don't know if this is such a good idea.

That's because you're a child,

And what you don't understand is that sometimes

When somebody tries to make you do something,

You do the opposite just to prove

You don't want to be told what to do.

I actually did understand,

And that's why when my mom said...

Don't you go telling Steve that's what I'm doing,

Because I know you're gonna want to.

I did the mature thing.

So you're sure she's bluffing.

Absolutely.

She said she wouldn't let you spend any real money.

She just wants to hear

That you'd be hurt of she married Andy.

Oh, thank goodness. I've gotta tell you, Steve,

I went to go tell my wife

About how crazy this thing was that you're doing,

And we'd like to invite you to a party

In which we'll be renewing our vows,

You bastard.

Well, I hope it's not on the same day

That I'm throwing Emmy's wedding.

Oh, no. Yep.

Lunt's already been brainstorming.

What do you got?

I'm thinking maybe they could hunt and eat

The doves we release.

Are you out of your mind?

I've never done a hippie wedding before.

I don't know.

No, Steve, I don't think you understand what I was saying.

He does. Oh, I did.

I am his close

To getting Emmy to admit

She doesn't want to marry Andy.

But what if she doesn't do that?

Oh, she will.

You said it yourself.

Once I spend any real money,

She'll put an end to it.

So it's time to start spending.

Do you think that's a good idea?

It's not, and he does.

I don't get it.

Oh, honey,

You're a child.

You don't understand

That in a situation such as this

It becomes incumbent upon the adult

Who's accused of bluffing to say,

"I know you are,

But what am I?"

so we're on again

For the responsible eco-wedding?

I think it's time for us to do what I do best.

Irresponsible.

it's times like these

I wish I could stop worrying about everything

And just be a grown-up.

In the days that followed,

Steve started throwing money

At a lavish wedding plan for my mom,

Who turned out to be more interested in saving her pride

Than spending Steve's money.

First, she started adding names to the guest list.

Steve countered by adding more.

Then my mom wanted to re-do the place settings

Because they clashed with the architecture

Of Steve's house.

So Steve suggested going medieval with the whole wedding

And created a fairy tale theme.

So my mom acted like she was all for it

And suggested adding shows and games of skill.

So Steve pretended he loved that

And decided to open it up to the public.

And that's how my mom's little family and friends eco-wedding

Became things to do on long island this weekend's

Number one family fun pick.

But neither one ever blinked in the game of chicken...

Until this.

This is how much you've spent on this wedding.

Sometimes, migo, in a game of chicken,

You gotta be willing to...

No, no, no, I'm not gonna spend that.

Yeah, it's more like a game of lobster.

And she doesn't look like she has

Any intentions of backing down.

Yeah, but Puddle said

She wouldn't let me spend any money.

Puddle also said she doesn't know

Why Mr. Lunt has never been married

After all these years.

Yeah, perhaps I have put too much faith

In the wisdom of this tent-schooled jungle child

Who combs her hair with a stick.

Yes. I think so, too.

You know, I think it's time

That you admit that it would kill you

If she married Andy.

You're right.

I'll go feel it out.

Or--or you could just admit it.

I'm going to end up wearing tights.

I just know it.

my mother was also having a change of heart.

This is really beautiful.

Maybe a little more lace at the hem.

Mom, isn't this enough?

You're right. The veil will have lace.

God, this is so beautiful.

I mean, this whole thing, it's like...

A fairy tale.

Hey, cute dress.

Listen, I've been thinking,

This whole thing started because

I thought you were bluffing.

I know you did.

And you know what? I was. Really?

and that's when Steve decided to up the ante.

Well, that's why I really do want

What's best for you as a friend.

And if that means marrying Andy,

Well, then that's something

That you absolutely should do.

I'm so happy to hear you say that,

Because this is my dream.

I want this wedding,

All three separate admission days of it.

And the most moving part of it to me

Is that this is actually something

That you're giving to me,

Aside from your take at the door.

You truly are my dearest friend,

And I had no idea you were capable

Of such maturity.

well...

nothing subliminal there.

Steve had gone from pretending

to throw a wedding for my mom

To actually throwing one.

If you're calling about additional parking,

There's still plenty of room available

In the sir lance-lot.

I have no idea

What you're talking about.

I'm calling to invite you

To my "last three days of Pompeii" extravaganza.

You don't have anything going on this weekend, do you?

Fa'ad, is that you out there?

Oh, yes.

I just thought I'd pop by

And see your little renaissance--

What is it, a cute birthday party

For Puddle or something?

No, fa'ad, please.

I'm not competing with you.

This is a wedding

That I backed myself into throwing.

Oh, thank god. I had nothing.

My entire staff want the weekend off

For some reason.

Look, just come inside.

and so Steve explained

How preparing for a wedding

Had gotten my mother in the mood for one.

Well, I suppose the conscious mind

Can be pretty powerful, too.

Ah, looks like Andy's pretty serious

About getting married.

It's funny you should say that.

Because during this whole wedding planning,

His name has hardly come up.

It's like I'm much more of a groom

In this thing than he is.

I'm even standing in for the guy

At the wedding rehearsal today.

Wow, talk about subliminal.

Perhaps you're the one she wants to marry.

Oh, do you think-- oh, come on,

I'm definitely not ready for that.

Oh, of course not.

But all you have to do is to convince Emmy

That you're the man of her dreams

And not Andy. Right.

And once Andy's out of the way,

I can see if there's anything real between us,

While having lots of sex and stuff

And telling everyone she's my girlfriend.

You're growing more mature every day.

I know I am,

But what are you?

Mmm, yes, and when I'm filling in for the groom

At the rehearsal today,

I could just say something moving.

In fact, the romance novelist

Owes me a second re-write.

Maybe I'll have him take a crack at it.

I mean, all I need is a little speech

About how there's only one real love

That needs to be celebrated...

And each day, that love grows stronger.

Well, I pledge to you on this day

That my heart will be as full

As this free collector's tankard

I hold before you now.

For it's our destiny to be here together.

And it's a destiny born of the deepest love.

and it actually did

Kind of get through to somebody.

Well, done, man.

Wow, that romance novelist

Can really shovel it out, eh?

Actually, I came up with that on the spot,

And I meant every shovelful.

it just got through to the wrong person.

I really want to marry Emmy.

Emmy, wait, I just...

Oh, that was really...

Yeah, no, I, uh...

Just never expected to hear you...

Oh, I just never thought I'd say those words.

God, you know, if you weren't

Flying out your family and Andy, I'd...

Oh, I'm not flying out anyone

I thought you took care of that.

Wait, do you mean that Andy doesn't know

About this wedding?

Not a word.

And yet here we are.

We've done everything but seal it with a kiss.

Well, since nobody told the groom,

Maybe I should just keep filling in.

Oh, I phoned the groom.

I even sent him a bus ticket.

He should be here any time now.

Oh, look.

Oh, my god. This is all for me?

Ha ha! Hey, thanks for warming her up, Steve.

I'll take it from here.

Come here, my little burning man.

Oh!

Steve was throwing a rehearsal dinner

For a wedding he didn't want to throw.

A song on the lute

For the man who has none.

although everyone else

Kind of got swept up in the mood.

the man who's paying for your wedding

shall not be doing any

be-e-e-edding

Thank you, Fahrud.

And I would like to make a toast

To my fair maiden, Emmy.

Soon you shall be in my bed once again.

It's been a while.

Last few years have been difficult,

And having your daughter in the tent, uh,

Doesn't exactly help,

But, um, just wanted to say

That I'm ready to go again.

Also, to the man who's throwing this wedding

For reasons I don't completely get,

Please raise a glass

To pig Steve Wilde.

I'm happy to point out

That he's the one who calls me a pig,

And yet he's content

To stuff his snout

In the trough of my inheritance.

Yeah, well, you didn't exactly inherit Emmy,

Did you, big guy?

She belongs to me.

Belongs to you? Yeah.

Oh, so she's a possession

Who belongs to you now, is that it?

Hey, excuse me.

She lives in my tree house!

Stop it, both of you!

I hate what happens when the both of you get together.

I'm not gonna do this the day before my wedding.

Honestly, we have a little theme for my wedding,

And the two of you just get carried away

With this whole medieval rivalry.

Well, I shall have none of it!

For tomorrow, I wed thee!

Rivalry.

It takes someone of equal stature

To be a rival.

What I lack in height,

I make up for in my lady-pleasing.

Oh, my lady-pleaser is doing just fine,

Thanks very much.

Besides, she's not some prize to be fought over.

No, she's a prize I've already won.

Then perhaps you'd be willing to

Wager such a prize.

And what's the nature of this challenge?

This challenge? This challenge could be...

Any number of...

I see you're noticing

That sharp pole out yonder window way.

Yes, I am indeed.

So it shall be a dance around the maypole.

a dance, a dance

two men in tights shall prance

* though what they think's a maypole *

* is clearly just a lance *

He's right. That's not a maypole.

That's a jousting pole.

Then even more perfect.

Let's joust.

And the loser walks away from Emmy forever.

And the winner marries her forever.

Tomorrow at dawn.

Dawn is for duels. Then high noon.

Great, high--no, high noon's really sticky around here.

I've noticed that. Uh...

How about, like, 10:30 or 11:00 or something?

Oh, that's fine for me right after brunch?

After brunch!

After brunch!

so the joust was set.

Unfortunately for Steve,

He didn't know what a joust was.

I think you're getting

A little carried away here, Steve.

Don't you feel a little unprepared?

Not at all. Been working all morning

With that romance novelist,

And I got some real zingers, like, uh,

"poor Andy.

"his head is nothing but cheek.

Yeah, you heardeth me. Butt cheek."

No, I get it.

I wouldn't close with it.

But this isn't a contest of wits.

I think you're thinking "jests."

This is a joust,

Where two men charge at each other

On horses, carrying long wooden lances

And trying to knock each other off.

Oh, my god, wait.

I could really get hurt in this thing.

Yes, but if you win,

You get to marry Emmy.

No, that's what I'm talking about.

I'm not ready to get married.

I think I just got a little carried away.

I think everybody

Had a little too much mead last night,

So if you want to call it quits on this thing...

No, I gotta go through with this.

I mean, okay, I don't want to marry her,

But if I don't show up,

I'm gonna look like a coward,

And I can't have that.

Okay, but I shall go with you,

For I am but your humble servant.

You lost your wristband again, didn't you?

You know, I told the guy I work for Mr. Wilde.

He says, "oh, yeah? Well, tell him to tell me that."

lunt heard that Steve ran off

to joust instead of to jest

he ran to Emmy as fast as he could

while basically wearing a dress

I need your help.

Are you okay?

Do I need to call an ambulance?

Yes, but not for me. For Steve.

He's engaging in some crazy challenge of skill

With Andy for your hand.

He is?

How sweet.

Wait. No, it isn't. How dare he.

How dare either of them.

They think they can just have a competition

To decide who I'm gonna marry?

I don't get it either.

Throw a stick at any organic co-op,

You'll hit ten of you.

Excuse me. I meant "hairbrush."

So wait, they think I'm just gonna be

Swept away by some knight in shining--

Oh, my god, that is exactly what I'm doing.

Maybe that's what they're doing

With this whole stupid challenge.

What is the challenge exactly?

They're mounting horses,

They're waving giant poles at each other.

It couldn't be more phallic

If Sigmund wrote it himself.

And remember,

Steve's a pretty good horseman.

Didn't you meet Andy...

When he was jousting at medieval times in Lyndhurst.

He was the black knight Wednesdays and Saturdays,

And he always lived to marry the ketchups.

Steve is gonna get killed!

Come on, Puddle!

Oh.

the maiden raced across the land

but was stopped for want of a blue wristband

I have to get through there! This is my wedding.

for none shall pass

no lord, no lass

that haveth not the three day pass

and Steve mounted his steed

and readied to parry

for the hand of a wench

he now hoped to not marry

and Andy, too, knew deep inside

despite his prior lies

that although he soon prepared to ride

he did not want the prize

and so the two began the strife

both scared of a thing that's called a wife

Steve in yellow did look quite deft

till he heaved his horse off to the left

when Andy did his horse command

to veer off to the churro stand

and as they raced it was hard for any

without the aid of glasses

to work out which were the men

and which were the asses

but even a competition among two losers

Must have a loser.

I call this the "total loser."

Steve!

Steve!

Steve! Steve!

but my mom always goes for the underdog,

And she ran to Steve.

No, I lost.

Why don't you go to Andy?

Are you kidding me?

Where the heck is Andy?

Andy kicked and spurred

his sweaty beast to drive

soon west onto the l.I.E.

then north on I-95

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, fine.

Well, what were you doing?

I don't want to marry you!

I don't want to marry anyone!

Not even Andy?

Of course not.

Good, 'cause that would have killed me.

Well, why didn't you just say that?

Why didn't you just say that?

I don't know. Because I'm stubborn,

And I guess I just got caught up

In this whole fairy tale.

which is what Andy said

that night in Canada

after he went to jail

Do I look like a terrorist?

I mean, come on!

I think this was all just a little too much

For all of us.

Can we just agree never to play

These stupid games of chicken again?

Absolutely.

Although one good thing that came out of it

Was that Andy showed his true colors.

He was a little overwhelmed. We both were.

It's one of the issues we need to work out.

Well, if you were serious

About working out your issues,

Wouldn't you be in therapy?

We would, but, you know, we can't afford it.

Well, if that's important to you,

I'd be happy to pay for your therapy.

Oh, you'd want us to work out our problems.

Well, as much as you'd want to work 'em out.

I'd be happy to work them out.

and so it all begins again

and now stay tuned for the news
