American Wedding Page #4
Some of my favorites.
Excuse me, guys.
Finch, she thinks
you were being sarcastic.
STIFLER:
Okay.It's so good to see you.
You want some help?
Here, let me help
you out there.
There you go.
You keep fighting
the good fight, sir.
That's great.
That was really
sweet of you.
Yeah.
I love old people, you know?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Hey, I hate to be
nosy and impolite,
but do you know
Jim Levenstein
and Michelle Flaherty?
Yeah.
Are they here?
Well, I'm Cadence,
Michelle's sister.
I had no idea. I'm their
good friend, Steven.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, you, too.
Well, they're around town
doing some wedding stuff.
That's cool.
But there's still a few
of us in the other room
if you want to join us.
I don't know.
You look so nice.
I feel underdressed.
Well, I think you look great.
Thank you.
Oh, here they are.
Hi, boys.
Don't stand up.
The dads aren't here yet?
I'll go find them.
Which one of you
is the best man?
Jim didn't pick just one.
Or I mean,
he couldn't decide.
Hey, Paul. Hey, Kevin.
CADENCE:
Mom,I want you to meet Steven.
He's friends
of Jim's and mine
and everyone's.
You look
very familiar, Steven.
Really? I'm afraid
we've never met.
Oh.
Well, we have now.
Oh!
Looks like you
found Samantha's Sweets.
Oh!
Isn't their
chocolate just to die for?
You have no idea.
Actually, I do.
I love chocolate
more than...
More than life itself!
I was just
saying to your friends
I have something
very precious here.
What is it?
Michelle's grandmother's,
my mother's, wedding ring.
Isn't that precious?
Since all of you
are the best man,
I don't know
who should hold onto it.
I think it's best if I...
Oh, um...
I think you
should get to know us
first and then decide.
You are such
a gentleman, Steve.
I hear that all the time,
but it never gets old.
Hey, Paul,
do you have a camera?
How thoughtful.
(MOUTHING)
I must've forgotten
my camera at home, Steven.
Maybe you could take,
like, a mental note.
(CHUCKLES)
I won't forget this moment.
I'll bet you won't.
Would you care to
join us, Steven?
I'd love to. Thank you.
Good to see you fellows.
Thank you.
(MOUTHING)
STIFLER:
Oh, amazing.What the hell is he doing
near my flowers?
I love the way
the tulips accentuate the...
What do you call
those again, sir?
Double lisianthus.
Lisianthus.
Double lisianthums.
What a pretty name.
(CHUCKLING)
I told him to be nice,
or he couldn't come
to the wedding.
Okay,
I will take care of this.
I will take care of this.
James. Great.
Come on over.
Great, come on over.
You can see
if I forgot anything.
I don't think I... Oh!
I think I've got it all.
Look, look, look.
Sahara and
desert rose for
(MOUTHING)
Your bridesmaids' bouquet.
Give me that. Smell this.
It's fantastic.
Fantastic. And... Oh!
(EXCLAIMING)
(SQUEALS)
Look at this!
(LAUGHING)
Let's go look at
the candelabrum, honey.
I think with
the summer blossoms...
Thank you for everything.
What'd you think, girls?
Isn't this adorable?
Bye, Cadence.
Okay, I know
what you're doing. Look,
have you seen yourself?
I can't believe
you're doing this, Stifler.
Just calm down, dude.
It's all set.
What's set?
I'm gonna teach you
to dance like
a Baryshninikov.
Oh, yeah.
He is pretty good.
Jim, he's not
doing it to be nice.
He's doing it
to bone Cadence.
Look, maybe we should
give him a chance.
You know, I think
that underneath
all the "fucks" and "shits"
and "blow me's"
there's a very
sensitive person
who is just
thirsty for acceptance.
That's what I think.
Oh, Jim, you've got
to stop masturbating.
It's melting your brain.
Observe
the f***ing Stifmeister.
What is his
defining characteristic?
He uses the "F"
word excessively.
Thanks, man.
But I also have confidence.
You're one big floppy cock.
Look at you.
You got to stand
like a man.
Your posture tells
Okay?
Okay.
Follow my lead.
This is the waltz.
Waltz? Okay.
Waltz. Okay.
That's pretty good.
You're f***ing right
it's good.
I'm gonna save your ass
in this wedding.
Pretty soon you're gonna
want me to shave your balls.
Should I shave my balls?
Do you shave your balls?
How do you do it?
Dude! No.
(STUTTERS)
I'm just... Shaving...
You know, there's
nothing like a local pub.
Mmm-hmm.
It's like real America,
without all
that corporateness
and catchy jingles.
What's wrong
with a good jingle?
I think it was
Voltaire who said,
"A jingle witty
proves everything
for my friends and I."
(CHUCKLES)
Cadence, I didn't know
you were gonna be here.
You're just in time for
Voltaire's greatest hits.
Voltaire? Stifler, please,
who was Voltaire?
Someone much wiser than you,
I'm afraid, Finch.
Actually, I'm getting
a little burned out on all
the intellectual stuff.
Yeah, me, too.
Being smart is so hard.
(CHUCKLING)
I'll give you
some intelligence.
Voltaire can suck
on my balls.
What?
It's about time somebody
finally came out and said it.
Hey, I'm gonna give you
a quote to live by.
"Love life, get paid,
and then get laid."
That is the basic philosophy
of the Finchmeister.
I like that.
(MOUTHING)
Bet you do.
Really? I don't know
why you do,
because
Finchmeister doesn't make
any frigging sense.
Sure it does.
No f***ing sh*t it does.
Cadence, let's leave
the cray-ton here, shall we?
Whatever. F*** it.
I'm walking, anyway.
You know, I think
with the Finchmeister.
You don't mind,
do you, Steven?
No.
Ha!
(HUFFING)
It's on like
Donkey Kong, b*tch.
Pack it up, b*tch.
I'm on it. Thank you.
So, Cadence say
anything about me?
Whatever you and
Finch are pulling,
she seems to like you both.
Finch. She gonna be around
tomorrow night?
No, she's going up to
Chicago with Michelle
for the final dress fitting.
What about her parents?
I think her mom
kind of likes me.
They're going up north
with my parents
to get things ready
for the rehearsal.
So that's where they'll be.
So don't bother
looking for them
or anything, you know?
A wedding. (SCOFFS) Sh*t.
How do you know
she's the right girl?
I just do.
I'm a better person
when I'm with Michelle.
Nobody else can...
No, shithead.
You hooked up with
one other girl for what?
10 seconds?
Not to mention
you passed on Nadia.
Dumbest f***ing thing ever.
You're like
a blind man picking
out his favorite porno.
That sh*t is crazy.
JIM'S DAD:
This is just the old
pre-wedding jitters, Son.
JIM:
It's so forever.You know, it's...
You know,
Michelle is the only girl
that I've been with.
Honestly, now,
would you have passed up
sex with Nadia?
Why? Did she say something?
Hypothetically, Dad.
Hypothetically. Well,
you know, Jim,
I'm a married man.
If you weren't married.
She's a college girl.
If you were a college guy.
In a heartbeat.
Oh, yeah. Mmm-hmm.
First of all,
what you're feeling
is so normal
and perfectly natural.
