Did you get the mail?

We can get it for you.

I know how much you guys like the mail, so I saved it for you.

Here it is.

There's lots of it.

Let's see. Junk mail.

Junk mail, junk mail.

Will you put this in the recycling bin in the garage?

Okay.

Oh, and there's this.

Thank you.

Hey, guys.

How was school?

School was good.

It's always good.

Just not as good as home.

Well.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

If I'd known I'd be finished this early,

I would have picked them up for you.

Is that...?

An invitation to disaster.

It's becoming all too real.

It'll be fine, Annie.

No, it won't.

We found something in the other mail,

the junk mail.

Is this anything?

Oh. Oh.

Yes, it is.

It's... It's the invitation

to Matt and Sarah's graduation.

Well, there's some good news.

Our son and his wife, both graduating from medical school.

Yes, it is good news.

Oh, I'm so proud of him, both of them.

Oh.

Hello.

Mom, did you get the mail?

Yeah, I did.

Good news and bad news.

Yeah, I forgot all about Matt graduating... and Sarah.

Oh, yeah, me, too, but, uh, we all should go.

I mean, it's gonna be a really big day for them, for all of us.

Ah, did you notice the date?

Yeah, May 13th.

Yeah, May 13th.

Does that sound familiar?

Oh, no.

May... May 13th.

Well, Simon and Rose are just gonna have

to change their wedding date.

I mean, they can't get married

on the same day that Matt is graduating.

They can't get married on the same day

that Matt is graduating!

Oh, bye, Luce!

Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

May 13th! May 13th!

They're gonna have to call off the wedding!

I really want to go to Matt's graduation.

I thought we could go to New York,

and then go up to Buffalo to see my mom and Frank.

Kind of make a vacation out of it.

We can't go to Matt's graduation.

Simon's wedding is on the same day.

Yeah, but you don't want to go to that, do you?

You are such a guy sometimes.

My dad is marrying Simon and Rose?

I'm in the wedding?

Oh, well, we could split up.

You could go to the wedding, and I can go to the graduation.

Aren't you in the wedding?

Am I?

Yes, you are!

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking that no one really wants

to go to this wedding, so why should I have to

when I really want to go to Matt's graduation?

Well, so do I, but we can't.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Can't Simon and Rose just change the date of their wedding?

The invitations have already gone out. I don't think so.

And, you know Rose.

She's not going to change the date of her wedding

just because we want them to.

Well, I'm not going to do that.

You have to.

No, Sarah, I don't have to.

But Matt and I can't change the date of our graduation.

I realize that, but come on.

It's a graduation.

People graduate every day.

Not from medical school.

Matt and I are graduating from medical school,

and we really want our families to be there.

Well, I'm... I'm sorry.

Come on, change the date.

Can't.

Yeah, you can.

You call people right away,

tell them that you didn't know that there was a conflict,

and then you get married a week later.

It's not like you can't get a church a week later.

We can't get the restaurant a week later.

My parents can't fly in from Europe a week later.

We're on our honeymoon a week later.

I'm sorry, but the date was set months ago.

Our date was set years ago.

Look, Sarah, we've never met,

and I'm sure you're a lovely person,

but I think it's kind of rude of you to try to force me

to change my wedding date so people can travel 3,000 miles

just to see you get some piece of paper

that says you're a doctor.

I mean, not that congratulations aren't in order.

Congratulations, but I'm not changing our wedding date.

Me? I was supposed to make the call?

Why was I supposed to call?

I didn't pick the date.

You agreed to the date.

I didn't know it was the same day

my brother was graduating from med school.

And neither did I.

And you know why I didn't?

Because no one told me.

Your father knows the date we're getting married.

Your mother knows, your sister Lucy knows.

They've known for months.

Okay, but nobody thought

about the two things being on the same day.

Maybe we should have.

You should have.

How would I know that your brother and his wife

are graduating from medical school on our wedding day?

Well, maybe we're getting married on their graduation day.

Can't we just get married the weekend before

or the weekend after?

I don't know if I would if I could, but I can't.

My parents have arranged their work

and their travel plans around our big day,

and so have all our friends, and frankly, so have we.

You did book the cruise, right?

Right, but what about moving the wedding back a week?

Then we spend a week here, and then we go on our cruise.

We can't back up a week.

We're in school that week. We have finals.

I'm not getting married in the middle of finals.

This is not good.

You're making too big a deal out of this.

I doubt anyone wanted to go

to a stupid medical school graduation anyway.

I think you may be wrong about that.

I hope you're not going to use this

as a way of getting out of the wedding.

Why would you think I'm trying to get out of our wedding?

Are you? No, I'm not. Are you?

No, I'm not.

What was wrong with the location that I liked

for the teen mothers' home, just so I know?

Oh, nothing, but this property is also zoned for business.

A home is a business?

I was thinking that the first floor could be a business, yes.

You know, a place where the girls could work?

Some sort of, maybe, maternity/children's

resale shop... Something like that.

And the downtown area is really great in terms

of getting to doctors, hospitals, social services

and stuff... so when do you think they'll call?

The realtor?

No, Simon and Rose?

I don't know when they're going to call, but, but I don't think

it'll be for the reasons that you want them to.

Well, your, your father didn't ask you to talk to me, did he?

Mom, I, I just don't think

Simon and Rose are going to cancel their wedding

just because Matt's graduating on the same day.

I think the invitations have gone out,

the restaurant for the reception has been booked,

and people have already made their travel plans.

Your father did you ask you to talk to me, didn't he?

He knows nothing about weddings.

Marriages, yes, but not weddings.

Weddings can be changed.

Graduations at universities cannot be changed.

Simon and Rose cannot get married

on Matt's graduation day, they simply can't.

It's that simple.

I don't know.

Peter wants me to get into this exchange program

in Edinburgh that he got into, but I don't know

if I want to go over there just to be with a guy.

Are you talking to me, because I-I don't think

you should sign up for something just to be with a guy.

Is the guy Peter?

Here, this is all I could get.

But what if we get there and we're not even

interested in each other or Robert Burns?

What's going on? Oh, shh...

Oh, I was hoping the hotel could move the reception

up to another Saturday or Sunday,

but it looks like they're booked for the entire summer.

And you know that how?

I talked the restaurant manager

into e-mailing me the calendar.

Does Simon know that you're calling the restaurant?

No, of course not. I wanted to make sure

they could get another date first.

And now?

I'm waiting on some dates

from some other restaurants.

Look, it's last minute anyway.

We can't wait for them to decide to start changing their plans.

We have to get something in place for them, you know,

so that they have options.

I know what I'm doing.

Do we have to go to the wedding? Can't we split up?

Girls stay here, guys go to New York?

Ah, the only way we could get away with that

is if we took Simon with us. Kidnap him?

We can't kidnap him.

I know some guys.

I imagine you do.

Maybe we could talk them into eloping.

You may be onto something.

Really?

Well, I mean, they're getting married.

They're definitely getting married.

So maybe, I mean, maybe they could elope.

Rose doesn't want to get married in the church anyway.

And truthfully, I don't feel that great about marrying them,

because I don't think they should get married.

But they are getting married.

See, we all have to face that... They are getting married.

How do we get them to elope?

Easy. I'll suggest it.

If you suggest it, it'll look as if

you're choosing Matt over Simon.

So how would you suggest it to him?

Simon'll probably call us about the invitations.

I'll tell him what I would do in his situation.

Elope. Elope.

Dad? Yeah?

Can I have $2,500

to go to Scotland this summer to study poetry?

That's everything included... Housing, food, everything.

Darling, I'd love for you to study poetry abroad,

but my having $2,500 to help you do it is a bigger stretch

of the imagination than the Loch Ness monster.

We can give it to you if you want to go.

You mean it?

I want to go to Scotland.

I've always wanted to go to Scotland, so has Annie.

As far as I'm concerned, we can all go

after we go to New York and see Matt graduate.

We're going to the graduation?

How are we going to do that?

It's the same day as the wedding.

We'll talk later.

All right.

Maybe we are going to the graduation.

Was she on hold all that time?

I think so.

Does that count as billable minutes?

Yep.

Who's she on hold with?

I don't know, but I'm going to go home

and wait for Simon to call.

Wait, uh, maybe we shouldn't actually do this.

I mean, it sounded good in theory, but...

Annie already blames me for not stopping this wedding.

But how can you stop a wedding you don't know anything about?

Besides, she'll forget all about the wedding

when she's watching Matt graduate from med school.

Maybe, but... no.

Seriously, we'd better not interfere here.

All right. I won't say anything.

Are you, are you just saying that

so that I won't have a part in Simon deciding to elope,

or are you actually not going to say anything?

I don't know what I meant.

Look, when you're deciding whether or not

you should or shouldn't do something, how do you decide?

I just ask my self if it's to anyone's benefit.

You know, mine or anyone else's.

Would it be to anyone's benefit if Simon and Rose elope?

I can't have anything to do with this.

Got it.

Are there any of those Vegas-type wedding chapels

anywhere around the campus up there?

I'm sure there are.

Help me, okay?

Help me with this.

Mom, it doesn't matter if you find another restaurant.

If they don't want to change the date, they're not going to.

With God, all things are possible.

Mom, I don't think I'd bring God into this.

And why not?

What, do you think what I'm doing is wrong?

I didn't say that.

It's just that you don't want to just change the date

of the wedding, you're trying to get them to call off

the wedding, and I don't know if I want any part of that.

What, do you think you're a better Christian than I am

just because I'm... I'm doing everything in my power

to keep my son from making the biggest mistake of his life?

No, I-I didn't say that, either.

And you're not keeping him from making a mistake,

you're just delaying it.

And I don't think it's right for you to do this

without Simon and Rose knowing.

So you do think you're a better Christian than I am.

You know what? I think it's time

for Savannah and me to go home. Kevin!

Luce, just say what you came over here to say.

Okay? I didn't really

come over here to say anything.

I want to go to Matt's graduation, too,

but Simon's getting married, Mom.

And he's getting married on the same day that Matt graduates.

And there's nothing we can do about it, unfortunately.

Well, I have to believe that there is.

Simon and Rose can get married on another Saturday

if they're actually going to go through with this charade.

Any Saturday but that one.

Yeah, well, whatever.

Good night.

And I don't think I'm a better Christian than you.

Hey, don't let the pressures of this wedding

and this graduation get to you, Mom.

Everything will be fine.

Hey, wait up.

What's going on?

My mother is losing her mind.

She thinks that she is going to rebook

Simon's wedding reception so that Simon and Rose

can have other places to have a reception

on some other Saturday, which is sure to be a long,

long time away from the one that they have scheduled,

because what she really wants

is to get them to call off the wedding.

Oh.

"Oh"? That's all you have to say is oh?

I don't see what everyone's making such a big deal about.

Maybe Simon will change the date of his wedding.

I don't think anyone's talked to him about it.

You know what, you're right.

We haven't even given him a chance.

I'll call him. I'll ask him.

Or I could.

No, he's my brother.

I'll call him, and I don't want him

to get the impression that we don't want him to get married.

We just don't want him to get married

on the day he has planned.

But if he does, we will all be there.

Yeah, all right. I know what to say

and I know how to say it; leave it up to me.

No, I'll talk to him.

I'll call him after I put Savannah to bed.

Hold on.

I forgot something. I'll be right there.

Simon?

Kevin, I was going to call you guys.

Did you get the invitation to Matt's graduation?

It's on the same day as my wedding.

No kidding? I didn't realize.

What are you going to do?

There's nothing I can do.

You and Lucy are still going to be in the wedding, right?

You can't not be at the wedding. Matt's not gonna at the wedding.

You're like a big brother to me.

And you're like a brother to me.

And that's why I'd really like to be there.

Thanks. Of course,

Matt's like a brother to me, too,

and I'd like to be at his graduation, too.

But you can't.

Yeah, guess not. Unless...

Nah, forget it. Unless what?

I don't guess you and Rose would consider eloping?

"Eloping"?

Big weddings are just so much trouble,

and eloping is kind of romantic.

Elope?

You wouldn't want to elope, would you?

I don't know. Maybe.

Lucy and Kevin can be our witnesses.

I think we're at "maybe."

All right, call me.

And don't call your sister.

And don't take any calls from your sister.

I want a chance to talk to her about this first,

if you decide to go that way.

Yeah, okay.

I'm going to need some time to think about this.

Well, yeah, me, too.

24 hours?

Okay, 24 hours.

Kind of interesting to think

that we could be married in 24 hours.

Yeah, it is interesting.

May I come in?

Sure, sure, come on in.

I'm sorry I don't have a lot of time.

Take the time. This is important.

I want to talk to you.

Okay.

So, I hear you're thinking about eloping.

Oh. Rose discussed that with you, did she?

Yeah, she did.

I don't think it's a good idea.

But what do I know, right?

Right.

So, what does your girlfriend think?

My what? Your girlfriend.

You know after our little dinner party,

Rose called your last call dialed.

So? I know other women.

Obviously, you know other women

that you'd call during our little dinner party.

Is that why you kept running outside, to see this woman?

What's your point? My point is,

if you have a girlfriend,

you shouldn't be getting married to Rose.

She's not a girlfriend.

She's just some woman that I work with

that I talk to once in a while.

She doesn't mean anything to me. I don't buy that.

Why didn't Rose say anything to me about this?

She probably doesn't want you to have

an opportunity to call off the wedding.

And again, I don't buy

that this woman means nothing to you.

I'm not calling off the wedding.

And if she meant something to me,

why would I be willing to elope with Rose?

I don't know.

So Rose won't call off the wedding?

I called Rose's last caller, too.

It was you.

Don't do it, Simon.

Don't rush off and marry her when you're not sure; make sure.

I'm sure.

You know, I may talk to this woman that I work with

about Rose and about my frustrations around the wedding,

but I want to marry Rose and I'm going to marry her.

Maybe tonight.

Just so everyone can go to your brother Matt's graduation?

You'd just close your eyes and dive into a marriage

that you're not sure about just so it'd be over

and done with and there'd be no more conflict,

no decisions to make? No.

I want her back.

I want Rose back.

I don't think you love her.

I don't think you really want to marry her,

and Rose says your family doesn't want you to marry her.

That's not true. Kevin and Lucy might even be our witness.

And your mom and dad?

I don't care what my mom and dad want.

This is about Rose and me.

And if Rose will have me,

I'll marry her whenever she wants:

the date that we set or tonight.

I have to go to work.

But if you want to talk to Rose,

you don't have to do it behind my back.

You can just hang out here until she shows up.

Thank you. I will.

Fine.

I've got nothing to hide.

Feel free to answer the phone.

Hello?

Hey, just checking in.

Oh. Nothing going on.

Talk to anyone?

No one you'd want to know about.

Oh, I see.

Don't worry about it.

Well, I am kind of worried about it.

There's nothing to worry about yet.

They're thinking it over.

They are? They would actually elope?

They're going to let me know.

When? Should be any time now.

But... but they wouldn't elope, like, immediately?

Not immediately; I think Simon has to go to work first.

Then after he goes to work, they would...

I don't want to know.

Then I won't tell you.

Unless they decide that they're not going to elope,

and then you could tell me.

I'm waiting till Simon says he's definitely going to do it,

and then I'll break the news to her.

And then we'll drive up there and be their witnesses.

You didn't say anything about being their witnesses.

They're going to need witnesses.

Yeah, but, look, if you and Lucy

are going to be witnesses, then...

I didn't hear you come in, dear.

I'm hanging up.

"Witnesses"?

Lucy and Kevin being witnesses to what?

Oh, Simon and Rose, they're not eloping.

"Eloping"? Are they eloping?

Oh, you know that,

that Simon and Rose are eloping?

You and Kevin and Lucy all know?

How could you do this to me?

Annie, look, please.

It's, it's just a crazy idea.

And they're not eloping, not yet anyway.

And Lucy knows nothing about this.

But if Simon and Rose would elope,

we could all go to Matt's graduation.

Eric Camden, if our son elopes,

I may never speak to you again as long as we live.

Hello?

How can you answer the phone at a time like this?

We need to stop them! Oh...

It's, it's the restaurant

about canceling the wedding reception.

They have a cancellation, late August.

And you're dreaming, those two are getting married.

Not if I can help it, and they are not eloping.

Oh... Simon?

Could you hold on for just a sec?

Oh, uh, no, uh, it's Umberto.

Uh, Simon's not here at the moment. Can I take a message?

Well, I'm Simon's mother.

Oh, hi.

I'm Rose's old boyfriend.

It's nice to meet you.

Yeah, you, too. Listen, Umberto,

I don't know you, and you don't know me,

but we have got to stop Simon and Rose from eloping.

I couldn't agree with you more.

And after we stop them from eloping,

let's stop them from getting married altogether.

Yes!

Hi. Everything okay at your house?

Far as I know. Why?

No reason.

Did you come over to pick up your check?

Well, I came over to see you

and Savannah and Samson and Delilah,

too, of course. It's over there.

This is really nice of you.

Hey, if I had the chance to go to Scotland

the summer I was 16, I would have jumped at it, too.

I'm surprised that the slots weren't filled.

My counselor thinks it's a great opportunity.

I owe you a lot of babysitting for this,

so let me know whenever you need help.

Yeah, all right, maybe even tonight.

I'm yours anytime you want.

Bye.

Let me help you with that.

Hi, Ruthie, what's going on?

Nothing, I just came by to get my check.

Thanks for Scotland.

Let me know if you need me

to babysit tonight.

This pregnancy must be affecting my hearing.

I thought she said "Thanks for Scotland."

Wait... did she say "Thanks for Scotland"?

Yep. What does that mean,

"Thanks for Scotland"?

You know, I told her we'd give her the money

to go on that summer study program...

The one Peter's going on.

Uh, no, I didn't know.

Mom and Dad are letting her go to Scotland

with Peter for the summer?

I guess. It's a school thing.

Yeah, a school thing where she's going

out of the country to be with a guy.

And study poetry.

Oh, yeah, right, poetry.

Yeah, 'cause she's always had a interest in poetry.

Would it hurt if she got an interest?

Her interest isn't in poetry.

It's being with an old boyfriend far, far away from home

where her family will not be a factor in their relationship.

Oh, come on, she's 16.

So, she gets a little life

outside the family. At 16?

Yeah, at 16. Maybe if she goes out

and sees a little bit of the world, she won't want

to get married when she's in high school or college.

Maybe she'll want to take the time

before she settles down to see the rest of the world.

You know what, Kevin?

You're... you're a genius.

Yeah, he's a real "genius."

These two told Simon to elope.

You are a genius! That is brilliant.

Now we really can go to Matt's graduation.

And I don't have to be in the wedding.

And you don't have to be in the wedding and...

And you don't have to be angry with me, and you can

stop spending all your time trying to stop the inevitable.

Oh, I don't have to spend another minute

trying to stop this wedding.

Rose's boyfriend is going to do that for me.

Simon said you'd be here.

I think we should talk.

I think we should, too.

You look nice.

Mm, a girl should look nice on her wedding day.

Oh, well, what about the dress? The wedding dress

with the net thing for your head and all that?

It's in the car. Oh, good.

Wouldn't want it to go to waste.

Look, Umberto, I'm really happy

you flew out to spend some time with me.

It's been great reconnecting,

but I really do love Simon.

I'm going to marry him.

Tonight?

Well, uh, well, that's great, Rose.

I'm really happy for you.

I was afraid the guy wasn't going to go through with it.

Me, too. But he is?

Yep.

S-So what do you say? Can I be there?

Well, I think he wanted Kevin and Lucy to be our witnesses.

Oh. Well, I-I think they're all coming:

the mom, the dad, Kevin, Lucy,

the sister, the twins... What?

Yeah, I've been taking all the calls.

They all want to be there. They're on their way up.

Why? Why would they want to be there?

They don't want to be there the day I planned the wedding.

Don't you want them to come?

No. No, I don't want them to come.

But they're your family, or they will be in a few hours.

So can I come or not?

I mean, as long as everyone else is.

No. No, I'm not doing this.

This is not an elopement.

This is a cheap wedding

just so they can all go to Matt's graduation.

Yeah, but so what?

You're still going to get what you want.

You're still going to be married to Simon.

But why should they get to be there?

They don't even like me.

I mean, Kevin and Lucy like me, a little, I think.

But I didn't even really want them there.

I was just going along with that for Simon.

Seems you're going along with a lot just for Simon.

Like you want a big wedding

with your family, your friends.

You got that designer dress

and the, the, the net thing for your head.

The... The veil.

And the shoes, and the flowers and...

What was I thinking?

You weren't thinking.

You're just in love.

Well, I'm not eloping.

I don't think you should.

Look, you deserve to have the wedding

you always dreamed about.

You deserve nothing but... but the best.

You're right.

Thank you.

How did I let this happen?

How did I almost let them trick me into this?

Look, I... I don't want to say anything bad about Simon.

You know I like him, and you know I'd take you back

just like that, so I'm not putting him down

just so you can reconsider how life could be with me,

but the guy's a little weak

when it comes to his family, don't you think?

Honestly.

That is his one fault.

Well, that and he's chatting it up with some girl from work.

So that's who that was.

I'm still going to let that go.

Yeah, I mean, it's... it's probably nothing.

Oh, um, yeah, you, uh,

you'd better make a phone call,

unless you want a carful of Camdens pulling up.

Here's, uh, here's Annie's cell number.

Hello?

If you're on your way up here, you can go back home.

I've decided I don't want to elope.

I want a wedding.

The big wedding that I planned.

All right, Rose, if that's what you want.

Not eloping.

Hello?

For you. Hello?

Hmm, just checking to see if you were really

on your way up here or not.

Okay, are we all proud of ourselves now?

I don't care. I bought us some time.

Yeah.

Hello?

All right, I might not be as good a Christian as you are.

So you lied?

Uh, yeah.

You conspired with Simon's mother to stop us from eloping?

Yeah. How did you know she was at home?

Intuition.

Oh, yeah, I forgot you had that.

Is everyone against me? Even you?

Everyone's against you marrying Simon, even me.

God, I don't think you should marry into a family

where you're not... liked.

Do you think there's anything at all

I could do that would make them like me?

Don't ask me that.

I don't want them to like you.

All right. If that's what you really want.

I guess I do know.

We'll go get the mail.

Mom always saves it for us.

Bring back something good, will you?

No invitations.

I don't care.

So don't go! I'm still going.

Hi. Hi.

I wasn't just going for you anyway.

And first of all, I know who Robert Burns is.

And secondly, it's not just about poetry,

they're also covering medieval literature.

So you don't even have the curriculum right.

Here you go. Thanks.

Oh, bill, bill,

junk mail, junk mail, junk mail.

All yours.

Thanks.

We'll go put it out in the garage.

All right.

Is there some reason

you like putting the junk mail in the recycling bin so much?

No. Not really.

Huh.

I did not steal your idea.

You're the one who told me about it.

You wanted me to go.

I can't help it if you can't go now and I can.

What?

Peter failed a class, so Paris and Vic

won't let him go to Scotland to study this summer.

Wow. That's not all me.

Oh?

That's Mom.

What are you getting angry at me for?

I'm not angry. I'm just... I'm just shocked.

I mean, I didn't think this could happen.

I thought there were limits.

Guess not.

Can I please have my phone back?

I don't think so.

Not right now.

All right, well, think about it.

Sure.

I have some money saved,

but I was going to use that for Scotland this summer.

You did ask Mom about Scotland, didn't you?

I haven't, but I will.

Somehow, the timing just hasn't been right.

Yeah, I know. That's why I haven't asked her.

Think about the phone, okay?

Oh.

Hey, Hap.

I like girls that are a little bit fat.

I like them with ponytails.

I like them with dresses.

I like them with blue jeans

and I like blonde hair

and black hair.

I like red hair and girls that smile with their teeth.

Hi. What's going on, guys?

Yeah, I think maybe we should talk.

About the mail?

It's just junk mail.

Yeah.

Um...

Where is everyone?

I don't know.

So, Mom's not home yet?

No, they're running late.

Uh, you want to e-mail later and talk to me now?

Sorry, Dad just took my phone.

I was right in the middle of a conversation with Peter.

He got the bill, the phone bill,

and it was a really big phone bill.

Hmm, he'll give it back to you.

I don't know if I want it back.

I don't want to cause any trouble.

I really want to go to Scotland this summer.

Well, have you asked Mom about that yet?

Dad's said he'd ask her when the time was right.

Yeah, I wonder when that will be.

Probably not today.

No, probably not,

but I have a feeling everything will work out.

And if she asks my opinion, I'll tell her I think you should go.

Will you tell her even if she doesn't ask you?

Well, I could, but I don't want to make trouble either.

Kevin thinks going to Scotland will be good for you.

He thinks it'll inspire you to study poetry and literature

and maybe it'll even give you the travel bug,

make you want to travel around the world.

I'm only going for the boys.

So, how's the baby?

Everything's fine so far.

It's not quite as scary as the first time.

It's actually quite enjoyable, in fact.

I feel happy.

I feel happy, too.

I've hardly thought about Martin at all this week.

Oh, I still miss hanging out up here with you and Mary.

I'm really happy I have sisters.

I don't think we're gonna get Mary back,

but in a few weeks, we'll have Rose.

Yeah, Rose.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Oh, traffic was terrible...

There was a wreck on the freeway.

Oh, don't worry, I don't mind waiting.

I was just curious as to why

you didn't want to meet at the house.

Where you could have waited in comfort?

No, I was just curious.

I wanted to talk to you alone,

away from everyone else, face-to-face, just the two of us.

Okay.

What's up?

First of all, I called Sarah and Matt

and told them that we can move our wedding date back a day,

so you all can take off after the wedding and fly to New York.

I tried to move it to the week before or the week after, but honestly, Annie,

my parents couldn't or wouldn't change their travel.

We can't change the restaurant,

and they won't give us the deposit back,

but the restaurant will cater the reception at the church

if we can have the reception hall that day,

or if you prefer,

we could just have the reception at your house.

Of course, Rose, whatever you want.

I was just thinking that even though it would be more work

for you at the house, it might be more convenient

with Sam and David and Savannah to be close to home.

I mean the restaurant would serve and clean up and everything.

Did you really change the date?

I did, and I've been on the phone all day

calling the other guests, and so has Simon,

and we made an announcement and sent it out.

It's not like the hand-engraved invitations,

but people will know in time.

Oh, Rose, that-that's really, really nice of you.

Simon and I were supposed to go on a cruise,

but as it turns out, Simon didn't book the cruise.

He kind of let it slip,

so we're going to get the entire family tickets

on the red-eye to New York that night.

Rose, you and Simon don't have to do that.

No, I think we do.

We should, to make up for the last year.

Annie, I'd hate me, too, if I were you.

I would be terrified of me marrying your son if I were you.

I'm... I'm not the person I want to be.

I'm not even close.

I apologize. I'm sorry.

I haven't been very nice.

I've been completely self-centered and condescending

and really in your face, like I've won some victory

over you in getting your son to marry me.

I don't offer this as an excuse,

but I do want to explain a little

of where this is coming from, or where I think it's coming from.

I think I started getting like this after my parents divorced.

I blamed myself, and the more I blamed myself,

the worse I felt and the less I thought of myself,

and to hide that, I started acting superior to everyone

so no one would know that I feel like nothing.

Oh, Rose...

This is hard for me. Please let me just get this out.

I wanted to be that child that the parents stay together for

or I wanted to be that child

that the parents fought over, argued about.

You hear these stories where couples battle it out for custody?

Not my parents.

Neither of them wanted me.

They fought about who should get stuck with having to raise me,

whose idea it was to have me in the first place.

I practically lived by myself after they got divorced.

They would constantly scream at each other

about whose turn it was to take me.

Too busy, they were both too busy

with their work and their relationships,

and they still are.

Look, they're nice people, just really not such great parents.

I mean, they, they've taken care of me financially,

and I'm grateful for that.

They paid my way through school,

and they really do provide me

all the material things that I need.

I know that they are doing the best they can for who they are.

But I know that I'm not.

I'm not doing the best that I can for who I am.

I'm gonna be a better person.

I'm going to be a good wife.

I'm going to be a good daughter-in-law.

I promise, I mean that.

Oh, Rose, I don't know what to say.

I feel so badly that we haven't been nicer to you.

Why would you?

I've been horrible.

But I'm hoping that realizing

that I've been horrible helps somehow.

I realize now that pretending to be better than everybody else

really isn't gonna work for me.

I want to just be the nice person that I think I really am,

but I may need some help.

I may need a lot of help.

Oh, Rose, look, I've been a horrible person, too,

and I so apologize.

I'll do anything I can to help you.

Apology and offer of help accepted.

Just please, please give me a chance to start over with you

and the rest of the family.

Oh, of course, of course.

Look, it took a lot of guts for you to do this,

and I really respect your doing this.

You should be so proud of yourself.

But not too proud.

Yeah.

I have to run.

I have to get right back to school.

I have a paper due and announcements to get out.

Well, drive carefully, okay,

and give me a call when you get back to let me know you're okay.

Thanks.

Oh, and can I ask you,

why the sudden change?

Umberto talked to me.

He's known me a long, long time.

He told me that if I quit being afraid

that people weren't going to like me, that maybe they would.

He thinks I'm likable.

And that made me think that maybe I still have a chance with you.

Hello.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

The good news is, I really, really like Rose, love her even.

Oh, she's not such an awful person after all.

Well, you're on your cell phone,

so I, I won't ask you to explain that,

but quickly, what's the bad news?

Bad news is, I'm not so sure she's gonna end up with Simon.
