Accidentally Engaged Page #6

You're all so cute,

and all-American.

And this is my fiance, Clarissa.

Clarissa, so nice

to finally meet you.

Chas has said

so many good things.

Nice to meet you, too, Suzie.

So many good things.

You, too.

Okay. You've officially shaken.

Well.

I think I might go

dip my toes in the water.

Anyone care to join me?

Is that the stripper

for the bachelor party?

Well, Suzie's welcome

to join us if she wants

at the bachelorette

party tonight.

- No.

- No, no, no.

[Suzie] I'd love to!

Okay.

[chattering]

[laughing]

Have you ever met

that publicist before?

Not before today.

But she's big in the biz.

Well, she was getting really flirty with

your fiance at the beach this afternoon.

And she's gorgeous.

- And she's flirty.

- Very flirty.

Relax, you guys.

She's married to this handsome,

big-time agent in LA.

And she's not the first girl

to flirt with Chas.

Girls flirt with him all the

time, you two included.

I'm not really worried about it.

Or maybe you're just

a really good actress.

You know, he's dated

a lot of girls.

I know. But, I mean,

he never makes me feel insecure,

so I'm not worried about it.

Wow.

A lot's changed

since high school.

What are you talking about?

I don't know. I mean, you used

to be, like... really insecure.

No, I'm not. Wasn't.

I wasn't.

Come on, Riss.

You were super insecure.

You never went out with anybody.

You buried yourself in, like...

- In, like, you know, the drama club, the clarinet.

- Yeah.

The jazz choir, you know.

You did everything.

I hung out with Graham

all the time.

Yeah. But you used him to

feel better about yourself.

Is that what

you're doing to him now?

Don't turn this around on me.

Graham and I are doing just fine.

I just really worry about you.

What is that supposed to mean?

Come on. He's... Chas Hunter.

And... And you're...

you know, you.

Can't imagine why I'm insecure

with friends like you.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here.

I'm just saying...

He's really good-looking, and I'd

understand if you felt insecure.

I just don't want to see

you sabotage anything.

You're wrong.

About you and Chas?

No, about how

things have changed.

You're still playing games,

stupid, little

high school games.

[mutters]

Hey, guys.

Hey, where'd Riss go?

She needed to take

a walk I think.

Hey!

- What are you doing here?

- Hey.

I came in search of ice.

How about you?

What are you doing here?

You're the maid of honor,

shouldn't you be off...

leading the party or something?

Yeah, apparently that honor has been

crowned to your publicist, Suzie.

She sure knows

how to have a good time.

She's the one

you're seeing, right?

You mad?

- I'm not.

- Well, you seem mad.

They just got to me.

High school drama

rearing its ugly head,

and Kelly doing her devil's duty

to make me feel bad about myself...

like she always does.

Yeah. Thank you.

Is she jealous?

Wow. You have an ego.

I didn't mean about me.

I meant about Graham.

See the way

he looks at you, like...

You picked up on that?

I'm not quite as self-involved

as you might think.

I am capable of observing, too.

Yeah.

We used to be close

and then we weren't.

It just ended. I don't know.

We were young,

I was stupid, and...

He told me he loved me

and I freaked out.

It happens.

Yeah.

Yeah, got kind of weird at

the rehearsal dinner last night.

You think he's just

with her because he...

can't be with you?

I don't know.

I hope not. I mean, I hope

he's not just settling.

You think people always find

their perfect match?

My mom and dad did.

Well, they certainly gave you

high standards, that's good.

I don't think it was as

easy for them as you think.

I bet they had to work pretty

hard for what they have.

Think all relationships do.

Wish my parents

worked harder sometimes.

Then I guess what matters is...

how do you feel about him?

Yeah, I mean,

I had feelings for him, but...

I don't know. I was... insecure,

or just not mature enough,

or maybe just not ready.

I don't know. Maybe all three?

What about now?

He's different.

I'm different. I don't know.

It's not like it used to be.

It's 'cause you broke his heart.

Little heartbreaker.

I got to admit, this is not quite

as bad as I thought it would be.

It's actually been kind of fun.

Yeah, it's definitely

gone better than I expected.

You, too, for the record.

Sorry if I gave you

a hard time before.

I wasn't exactly a distinguished

gentleman around you, either.

Personally, I think we kind of

like teasing each other.

That is what engaged

couples do, after all.

Mm-hmm.

So...

where we going on our honeymoon?

It's kind of silly,

but you know what I always thought

would be a fun honeymoon?

What's that?

A road trip across the

States, in an RV.

Just camping, and cooking, and

seeing the sights. Just simple.

Slumming it through middle America.

A big camp-out.

Yeah, I'm down.

So you think

the party's still going on?

Yeah. I should

probably check on Maya.

She never stays up

past midnight.

And I bet she's passed out on the

couch, especially after all that wine.

Come on.

Okay, so... at what time are

we supposed to leave tomorrow?

I think, like, 10?

The wedding is at 5, so...

All right.

Well...

thank you for a nice night.

Yeah, you, too.

[softly] Wow.

[door opening]

- What?

- Are you coming to the wedding or not?

Now you're marrying her?

The other wedding.

Yeah, get ready.

[groans]

[Suzie groaning]

You'll have to start planning

for your big day soon.

Yeah, I guess so, huh?

Do you happen to have

any painkillers?

Vicodin would be great.

Uh... I have some aspirin in the

medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

[Suzie sighs]

Fine.

- I need eight.

- Okay.

- I can get it for you.

- No, no, I'll manage.

I need to touch up

my make-up, anyway.

The humidity here

makes my face melt.

Have you talked about

where you'll have it?

No, not yet.

Where'd you guys have yours?

- We eloped.

- Really?

Her folks weren't too happy

about us getting married.

Yeah. They said that

Bruce lacked ambition.

You know, I didn't care though.

But now, the lack of ambition

has landed him the senior VP

position in community development

at his firm.

Being with you

made me try harder.

Clarissa is really lucky to have

parents like you, you know that?

And she's lucky to have a

guy like you in her life.

Mm. I can tell by the eyes.

Tell what?

That you, Mr. Hunter...

are a good one.

Honey!

Oh! Honey!

Wow.

You look amazing.

Thanks.

Are we ready to go?

I'm here, I'm here.

[Suzie sighs]

Let's rock.

Oh, so beautiful.

Wow! Maya, you look amazing.

Doesn't she?

Takes after her mom.

Audrey, can I

borrow you a minute?

- Mom, it's fine. Go.

- Okay.

Hey. What happened

to you last night?

I got into it with Kelly over the

whole Graham thing. It was dumb.

Big surprise.

Anyway, I'm so sorry I bailed there

at the end, it was lame of me.

It's okay.

I came back an hour later, but you

were already passed out on the couch.
