Big Movie Premiere: The Proposal Page #8

even after we`re gone. Take it.

Are... are you all right, dear?

I...

Well, l...

I...

I just...

I just wanted to...

...make sure there was enough time

to get all the sewing done.

Don`t you worry about that.

- You`re gonna be beautiful.

- OK.

- Now let`s get you out of those pins.

- OK.

All right.

This is untied. Hop on in.

What... Mind telling me

what the hell`s wrong?

I needed to get away

from everybody.

- What`s wrong?

- Nothing! Just stop talking, please!

Would you mind telling me

what`s happening now?

Margaret.

- Margaret!

- I forgot, OK?

You forgot what?

I forgot what it was like

to have a family!

I`ve been on my own since I was 1 6

and I forgot what it felt like

to have people love you

and make you breakfast

and say, ``Hey!

We`d love to come down

for the holidays.``

And I say, ``Well, why don`t we

come up and see you instead?``

And give you necklaces!

And you have all that here,

and you have Gertrude,

and l`m just screwing it up!

You`re not screwing it up!

I agreed to this!

- You were there, remember?

- Your family loves you.

- Do you know that?

- I know that! Yes!

You`re willing to put them

through this?

- They`re not gonna find out!

- How do you know?

- Because you said so yourself.

- But what if your mother...

Oh, my God, if your mother

found out...

- Oh, my God! What if Gammy finds out?

- The boat is moving!

If Gammy finds out,

she`s gonna have a heart attack!

- lt`s gonna be fine!

- She`s gonna have a heart attack!

Hold on!

I don`t think that hijacking

a boat is a proper way

to express your frustration!

Now... Oh, great.

Now you decide to shut up! Margaret?

- Andrew!

- Margaret?

- Andrew!

- Margaret!

- I can`t swim!

- Margaret!

To the buoy!

- What?

- To the buoy!

OK.

All right, come on!

Give me your hand!

Hey! Give me your hand!

Margaret! Give me...

Come on, give me your hand!

Come on, come on. I got you. I got you.

I got you.

Come on. God, what the hell

were you thinking?

Could`ve gotten yourself killed.

You turned the boat and

made me fall in, you jackass.

You let go of the steering wheel, Ahab.

I`m sorry. I`m sorry.

All right, come here.

You`ve got to get warm. Come on.

Come on. It`s OK.

That`s OK.

It`s OK.

I want to talk to both of you.

Your mother is never to hear

about any of this.

Told you l`d check up on you.

What did you do?

I got a phone call from

Mr Gilbertson here,

who told me that

if you were lying,

and he strongly

believes that you are,

he would send you to prison.

So I flew him up here.

- Dad.

- Luckily for you,

your father negotiated

a deal on your behalf.

Now, this offer`s gonna last

for 20 seconds, so listen closely.

You`re gonna make a statement

admitting this marriage is a sham

or you`re gonna go to prison.

You tell the truth, you`re off the hook,

and she is going to go back to Canada.

Well... Take the deal.

- I don`t think so.

- Don`t be stupid, Andrew.

Here`s your statement. I`ve worked

for Margaret Tate for three years.

Six months ago we started dating,

we fell in love.

I asked her to marry me, she said ``yes``.

I`ll see you at the wedding.

Well, you know.

So...

You sure about this?

Not really.

I mean, I am very appreciative

of what you`ve done,

- but I think that...

- You`d do the same for me. Right?

Hope everyone is decent.

You need to come with me.

Now, tomorrow is your wedding day.

You have to give the Baby Maker

a rest tonight. It`s tradition.

- Give your bride a kiss good night.

- We`re not gonna use the Baby Maker.

You`ve got your whole lives

to be together.

- OK.

- Now, come on. Come on.

If I don`t go with her,

she`s just gonna...

- Come right back.

- Yeah.

See you in the morning?

Yeah.

Hey, Gammy.

Thanks, Gammy.

Everyone, please be seated.

Ramone.

We are gathered here today

to give thanks

and to celebrate

one of life`s greatest moments.

To give recognition

to the beauty, honesty,

and unselfish ways

of Andrew and Margaret`s true love

in front of family and friends.

For it is their family and friends

who taught Andrew and Margaret to love.

So it is only right that

family and friends are all...

Do you have a question?

No...

Your hand is up.

Oh, it, it`s not a question,

but I do have something I need to say.

- Margaret.

- Can it wait till after?

No. No.

- Hi there.

- Hi.

Thank you all so much for coming out.

I... have a bit of an announcement

to make about the wedding.

- A confession, actually.

- What are you doing?

I`m a Canadian. Yes, Canadian.

With an expired visa

who was about to be deported.

And because I didn`t want to leave

this wonderful country of yours,

- I forced Andrew here to marry me.

- Margaret, stop it.

See, Andrew has always had

this extraordinary work ethic.

Something I think he learned from you.

And for three years l

watched him work harder

than anyone else at our company.

And I knew that if I threatened

to destroy his career...

...he would, he would do

just about anything.

So I blackmailed him to

come up here and to lie to you.

All of you.

And I thought it would

be easy to watch him do it.

But it wasn`t.

Turns out it`s not easy

to ruin someone`s life

once you find out

how wonderful they are.

You have a beautiful family.

Don`t let this come between you.

- This was my fault.

- Margaret...

Andrew, this was a business deal,

and you held up your end,

but now the deal is off.

I`m sorry.

And you, meet me at the dock.

You`re giving me a ride to the airport.

- What were you thinking?

- I don`t, I don`t know.

- Andrew, you lied to us.

- Let me get my head on straight, OK?

I`ll explain everything later.

I`m sorry.

You were right.

This book is special.

I lied because I knew publishing

meant I`d lose you as an assistant

but... you have an extraordinary eye,

and I`ll make sure we

buy this before I leave.

Have an amazing life.

You deserve it. Margaret.

Well, that was... crazy.

You know, people are gonna be

talking about this forever.

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you OK?

Yeah. No...

I just feel...

You know what the problem is?

You see, the problem is

that this woman

is a gigantic pain in my ass.

First there`s the whole leaving thing.

I understand that. It`s a sham wedding.

It`s kind of stressful. But then she

goes ahead and she leaves this note.

Because she doesn`t have the decency,

the humanity to do it to my face.

Three years. Three years

I work with this terrorist.

Never once has she had

a nice thing to say,

and then she goes ahead

and she writes this crap!

- Andrew.

- None of that matters. We had a deal!

- Andrew.

- Sorry. I`m sorry. I just...

- She just makes me a little crazy.

- Yeah. I can see that.

So you`re just gonna let her go?

So, what now?

Well... now that

you`re leaving voluntarily,

it all becomes very civilised.

Once we land in New York, you have

24 hours to head back to Canada.

- Andrew, what`s happening?

- I got to talk to her.
