27 Dresses Page #10

Tess, this is

between you and her.

I'm out of this.

You know, Flo, have you seen the new

weed whackers we've got out front?

The latest model.

I feel terrible.

- I'm so sorry for what happened--

- Sorry?

You humiliated me in front

of every single person that I know...

and you think

you could just say sorry?

- I-I know. But--

- Jane,you were always jealous of me.

- What?

- Always! My clothes! My boyfriends!

- Stop it!

- You've just been waiting

for the chance to tear me down.

- That's not true.

- Yes, it is!

- Ow!

- And you took the one thing

that was finally working out.

Oh, please!

This is so typical, Tess.

You're not taking any responsibility

for the fact that you lied to George.

You manipulated him.

Put down the bug spray.

Put down the bug spray, Tess!

Did you even love him?

Or was it just convenient?

Oh, please,Jane.

Get off your high horse.

Just admit it.

You resent me...

because you're the one who

always had to braid my hair...

and make my Halloween outfits

and go shopping for my prom dress.

- No, I have never resented any of that.

- Yes, you have.

- You always thought that my life was so easy.

- It was!

It is! You have never

had a care in the world.

You're beautiful

and fun and charming.

- Your life is perfect.

- Perfect? Are you crazy?

You have no idea.

You want to know the real reason

why I decided to stay in New York?

I got fired from my job.

And to top it off,

Rudolfo dumped me.

He dumped me.

And then George came along,

and he was nice to me.

And he treated me well,

you know?

And I just wanted to be

someone that he wanted.

I was trying to be someone

who deserved him...

someone he could respect.

I was trying to be you.

Why?

Why would you want to be me

when you get to be you?

- This is a mess.

- I know.

Jane, you've been trying to take care of me

ever since Mom died.

- I had to.

- No, you didn't have to.

- But-- But if I don't then--

- But if you don't...

then you'll just be my sister,

which is what it should be.

Maybe when I was young

you needed to help me out. But now?

You gotta stop

taking care of me...

of everybody.

Hello? Hi.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's no problem.

No, of course.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Okay. Okay, bye.

Wow.

You look--

You look great.

So I guess you did need to find me a date

for this benefit after all.

I guess so.

George, before we go anywhere,

I just want to apologize for last night.

I shouldn't have done

what I did.

Look, you did me a favor.

All right, it's not your fault I was about

to marry someone I barely knew.

I mean, what the hell

was I thinking, right?

- So what do you say we forget the whole thing?

- Okay. If you're sure.

I'm sure. Now, I hate to ask you

for another favor...

but I need to print up my speech for tonight,

and I cannot find the file.

Oh, yeah.

I can get it.

Jane, I am so thankful

that I could call you tonight.

I can always count on you.

You never say no.

Which I love.

What?

Well, I-- I just meant--

I'm sorry. Did I--

Did I say something wrong?

Oh, God.

George, I quit.

Yeah.

- I quit.

- What do you mean, you quit?

When I came here after college, I was

blown away by this company and by you.

And I got so caught up in the job

that I never bothered to get my own life.

I think I got

too comfortable to leave.

Then I had to be here every day to see you

because I was so madly in love with you.

Yeah.

Horrible.

Crazy-- Crazy crush.

Crazy.

But you'll be fine,

George.

You will. You'll get somebody

in this position...

who will stay for two years max,

because that's what's acceptable

and appropriate for this--

I-- I'm sorry.

Really sorry.

- I don't know. It just

kind of, like, all of a sudden.

- No. It's okay.

I've always wanted to know

what that would feel like.

And?

- Nothin'. I didn't feel a thing.

- Ouch.

That hurts.

- May-Maybe we can give it another try. Okay.

- Yeah. Okay.

Nope.

Not even a blip. You?

Mmm. If I'm being honest,

not really.

Yeah. That's not what it's

supposed to feel like.

When you're with the person

you're meant to be with...

it should feel like--

Wait. What is that?

I gotta go.

How many sick days do you think we

can really take without getting in trouble?

If we took four in a row, we could take a whole

week off and go down to, like, Cancun.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Do you know where Kev--

um, Malcolm-- Malcolm Doyle is?

Yeah. He's covering

his last wedding.

H-Hey. You're the girl from the article.

You're famous.

Yeah.

Taxi?

Pier 17.

Oh, my God.

Only got one dress tonight, Ziggy.

So just go.

- Oh, come on! Oh, c-- Oh.

- Just go!

- Good luck!

- Thanks, Ziggy.

- Where's the wedding? Okay.

- Straight down to the end.

Oh, good. Well, I got it.

Thank you very much.

- Mm-hmm. You're welcome.

- Appreciate it.

Hey, pull it back!

All clear!

Huh.

- Are you all right?

- I'm fine.

- You okay?

- I'm fine. Really.

It's all good.

Oh, my God. No way!

No freaking way!

You're the girl

from the article.

What--What are you

doing here?

Um, well--

Okay.

Long story short.

There's this guy.

- Oh! Okay. Tell me more. Tell me more.

- Um--

Kevin?

Kevin Doyle?

Oh, my God.

There he is.

There he is.

Um- hi.

Uh-

Um-

- Come on. You can do it. Say it.

- Okay.

Uh, I just wanted to say...

that you were right about me,

about all of it.

I just didn't want to hear it,

especially not from you.

Uh-

Um-

Can we get

a follow spot?

Ah.

There you are.

Um, okay.

Uh, Kevin, I've been waiting my whole life

for the right guy to come along...

and then you showed up.

And you are nothing like

the man I imagined.

You're cynical...

and cranky

and impossible.

But the truth is,

fighting with you...

is the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

And I think there's a very good chance

that I'm falling in love with you.

So... that's it.

That's all I had to say.

So... I'll go now.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Yeah.

Kevin, I just really, um--

Get over here.

#I don't argue like this #

#For anyone but you ##

So-- Tell me, what do you think

makes this wedding special?

- Who are you?

- I write the Commitments column for the Journal.

- Maybe I could buy you a drink later.

- It's an open bar.

- Maybe I'll buy you a drink.

- Yes!

- Hi.

- Thank you.

God, look at

how hot Tess looks.

Think she'd go for me?

I am a year older.

I don't know. I'll put in the good word

for you, big guy. All right?

- Hello.

- Hi.

Um, I'm the maid of honor.

I, um, live in Williamsburg

with a roommate...

and I just started designing my own line

of deeply fabulous handbags.

And I'm completely broke.

But that's okay.

I eat a hamburger a day,

and my idea of a pet is a rock.

- Well, it's very nice to meet you.

- Tess.

Tess. Got it.

Well, wait until you see the bride.

She looks gorgeous.

Ready?

Everything's perfect.

And this dress-- the best thing is I can
