it's probably gonna go all night,

so I wouldn't wait up for me either.

But we can celebrate tomorrow.

I'm a med school widow already.

I knew this would happen.

You're not. Stop.

Well, can you at least drop these off for me?

What, are those applications?

Yep. I only have one more to go.

All right, all right.

Well, you're getting into B.U.,

so I wouldn't stress it.

-I like you.

-I like you, too.

-Do you really have to go?

-Yeah, I do.

But I will kiss you right when I get home.

-Okay?

-Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Bye.

Bye.

I feel like a tourist.

Just, you know, squint your eyes,

and then pretend you're in Paris.

Say what?

-lt means I'm freezing my butt off.

-Does it?

Well, here. Put your hands in my pockets.

What are you doing?

How's that? Is that better?

Much better. Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm gonna start calling you Pocket.

-How about that?

-What's in here?

Driver, will you stop the carriage

for a second?

What's going on?

-You trust me?

-Should l?

Megan McAllister,

I love you with all of my heart.

Will you marry me?

Philip, there's nothing I want more

than to marry you, but...

But what?

I haven't even graduated yet,

and you're still in med school

and you haven't even met my parents.

Well, let's go. Right now. Tonight.

We can leave this second.

We'll go to New Jersey.

Driver, do you think this horse

can make it to New Jersey?

I think the horse is gonna get really tired

and sick, but then we'll drive.

They're gonna go crazy.

Babe, I know this might sound

a little old-fashioned,

but I really want their blessing.

I want them to be happy for us.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Philip, it's just my parents.

It's gonna be fine. They're gonna love you.

-Megan.

-Hey.

-Hi.

-Honey, hi, hi.

Mom, Dad, this is Philip.

Hello, Philip. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I was told you liked roses, Mrs. McAllister.

Myweakness. Thankyou.

And please, call me Susan.

Susan.

And I was told

your weakness was Pinot Grigio.

I guess my secret is out.

I haven't had this one. Thank you.

So, let's go inside.

Lunch should be ready any moment.

-Yeah.

-Come on in.

Let's go.

Wow, Philip, you really must rate.

Mom doesn't bring out

the silver for just anybody.

Well, it just seems a shame

to keep something so pretty...

Philip? Philip.

-Philip?

-Yeah. Thank you, I'd love some.

Looks so good.

So, Mr. McAllister...

-I'm sorry. David...

-Better.

I hear that you have an awesome short game.

-You play?

-Yeah.

Mr. McAllister,

you know why we came here today.

Yes, I do,

and I'm sure you can imagine

some of the questions I have.

Absolutely. I mean,

"What's the rush?" Right?

-Yeah.

-"Aren't you too young?"

"What about your studies?"

And "How do I know I can trust you

"with the person that I care about

most in all the world?"

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Well, sir, with me,

what you see is pretty much what you get.

You know, I grew up near Syracuse,

parents split when I was a kid.

I'm not rich and no handouts.

I had to work my way through school.

Summa cum laude from SUNY, Albany.

And I love your daughter very much.

You sound like the American dream.

Isn't that a good thing, sir?

Mr. McAllister, I would like very much

to spend the rest of my life

making Megan happy.

You know, there's no rush.

You guys could live together for a bit,

really get to know each other.

We have been living together for a bit.

Really?

I mean, it just works great, you know?

He's amazing,

and he's at the top of his class,

and he helps me and we study together.

And it's crazy,

but we're just great for each other.

He'll still charge you.

That's exactly right. By the hour.

Megan, you managed to find a young man

capable of crushing it 300 yards off the tee

and keeping it in the middle ofthe fairway.

-Okay.

-Okay.

-Bye, baby.

-Love you guys.

-Love you, too.

-Nice meeting you guys.

-Drive safely.

-Okay.

Yes!

I told you. I told you, Pocket.

It's gonna be happily

ever after for you and me.

-It's amazing.

-We did it. We did it.

-Okay, so, ask me again.

-What?

Come on, please ask me again.

All right.

Megan McAllister,

I love you with all my heart.

-Will you marry...

-Yes!

-Yes, yes.

-Okay.

That was fast.

Well, I couldn't wait to meet you.

Charmer. I like that.

Nice. Great.

-ls my tie okay?

-Yeah.

Some of this?

Can you remind me what this is for again?

-It's for the website.

-We have a website?

-It's going to be a pink website.

-Yes.

There we go. Smiling.

What happened?

You look like Ken and Barbie.

-Did he say "Ken and Barbie"?

-Yeah.

-ls he making fun of us?

-No, it's a good thing.

Great.

You're a beautiful couple.

You're a beautiful couple.

This is going to be the wedding website

to end all wedding websites.

Babe, this is looking so cute!

Hey. Are you busy?

No, I'm not busy at all.

I'm just looking at genetic notes.

But go ahead. Tell me about this website.

Well, it's going to be where

we're registered and everything, obviously.

But then there's going to be pictures,

and there's going to be a countdown.

It's like a rocket launch.

There's gonna be a quiz for all our friends

to take to see how well they know us.

Doesn't really matter

how well other people know us.

It's about how well

we know each other, right?

God, I like you.

I like you, too. We should get married.

And I'm so excited

to finally meet your family.

Babe, I wanted to

talk to you about that, okay?

I talked to them, and I don't know if

they're going to be able to make it.

What are you talking about?

-It's our engagement party.

-Yeah, I know.

Philip, we're getting married.

Don't you think it's strange

that I haven't met your family?

Well, we're a strange family.

Look, we're all nice to you now, Philip,

but ifyou mess with our little sister...

Yeah, okay, I promise. I will be good.

-You have nothing to worry about.

-You better be.

Hey, what are you doing with my fianc?

Nothing. They're just scaring

the ever living crap out of me.

We like this guy.

I told you. He's a good one.

And look, I found my maid of honor.

One of 19.

Not to mention the three flower girls,

the two ring bearers.

-But you're my favorite.

-Thank you.

No, I know it's not all about just the one day.

It's about spending the rest of my life...

Sorry, can you guys excuse me for a second?

Yeah.

Now, which one of you boys

wants to get me a drink?

Philip. It's so good to see you.

This house, it's so beautiful.

-Philip...

-Philip what?

Hey, I didn't scare you off

with all the wedding talk, did l?

-No, no, no.

-Okay, sorry.

I'm Philip's mother.

Oh, my gosh! It's so nice to finally meet you!

My parents cannot wait

to introduce you to everyone.

Okay, don't move. I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

She's very beautiful.

I see your father's right at home.

He's already good friends

with the McAllisters?

You're still keeping score, huh, Mom?

You know, if it makes you feel any better,
