Sounds nice.

Well, I think

this'll do the trick.

No one's ever done anything

that nice for me before.

I wasn't being nice.

I was doing what had to be done.

You're f***ing

amazing, you know that?

I ain't amazing.

I just do what I think is right.

Think that was right?

It's hard to say.

Not just yet.

Well...

I guess we'll just

have to keep on trying.

I guess we will.

I haven't felt this

good lying next to someone

in a long time,

maybe ever.

It's been a long

time for me too.

You're something special.

You really think so?

I do.

I can't remember the last

time I had a better night.

I mean it.

What are you crying for?

I have to tell you something.

Then go ahead, tell me.

I lied to you.

I'm not a dancer.

Then what are you?

A call girl.

A whore.

I figured

that might be the case.

Especially after I met Sug.

My parents kicked me

out after high school.

Got into drugs,

real bad grades.

I wanted to go

to cosmetology school,

but they wouldn't help me.

They said I had

to pay my own way,

and Sug...

Sug was the only one

who would take me in.

He got me into it.

He said he would save up for me.

I did it for the money,

and I couldn't get out.

It was all for my dream,

so I could quit and start over.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I don't ever wanna lie to you.

But I understand if you're

mad and you want me to leave.

I ain't mad.

- You're not?

- No.

You did what you had to do

to get where you

wanna go in life.

It's admirable.

It takes guts.

Thank you.

I haven't been totally

honest with you either.

About what?

That story...

About my folks getting killed,

it's only part true.

What do you mean?

My daddy used

to beat on us so bad

that I couldn't go to school,

because the other kids would

make fun of my black eye.

My mama was the sweetest

woman in the whole world,

but she was weak.

She never could

put an end to it.

So I knew what I had to do.

I went out that night

and saw my daddy's

truck at the bar,

and they showed us where the

brake lines were in auto shop.

I didn't know my

mama was in there.

I thought she was asleep.

I didn't know she'd

be driving that truck.

I've never told anyone that.

You were abused.

You were just a kid.

You didn't know any better.

I'd have probably

done the same thing.

You tried to stop it.

You didn't know

she was in there.

It was an accident.

I kept seeing her after that.

Everywhere I looked,

there she was,

staring at me,

asking me why I done it.

It didn't stop until

I met Carol Ann.

I loved her.

I thought she loved me.

Then she started

going out, drinking,

coming home, calling me

some other guy's name,

treating me like I was nothing.

I found out...

She'd been unfaithful,

so I ended it.

After she was gone,

I kept seeing her too.

Everywhere.

Every woman.

Until I met you.

You won't see her again.

I'll make sure you don't.

Dwayne?

Yeah?

Would you ever think

about marrying me one day

if everything worked out?

I don't know.

What if I loved you,

and what if you loved me?

The last time I

almost got married,

things ended bad.

Real bad.

I don't wanna make

that same mistake twice.

- I understand. I'm sorry.

- Don't be sorry.

Just give me a while

to think, okay?

Okay.

You ready for this?

As ready as I'll ever be.

Well let's go.

Do you, Roxanne McLean,

take this man, Dwayne Duncan,

to be your lawfully

wedded husband

and hunk,

a hunk of burning love,

to have and to hold,

in sickness and in health,

for better or for worse,

'til death do you part?

I do.

Elvis:
Rocking, baby doll!

And do you, Dwayne Duncan,

do you take this

woman, Roxanne McLean,

to be your lawfully wedded wife,

to have and to hold

in sickness and in health,

for better or for worse,

'til death do you part?

What's it gonna be, partner?

Excuse us.

Goddamn kids.

Hey. What is it?

What's wrong?

It's no good.

- What do you mean?

- I mean it's no good.

It'll never work.

How can you say that?

I love you.

I've been looking

for you my whole life.

You're beautiful.

And I thought I was cut out

for all this, but I'm not!

I'm not like you.

I will hurt you,

just like I hurt Carol Ann

after she hurt me.

You won't hurt me.

I've been hurt

plenty in the past,

but you make me feel

like no one ever has.

You saved me.

I don't wanna live without you.

I know you're scared.

Just trust me.

Trust yourself.

We'll be okay, I promise.

What's it gonna be, kids?

I got 14 more ceremonies

to do today.

Now reach in my

pocket and grab the key.

Not that one.

The other one.

Got it.

Now open the door

before my arms fall off.

It's official now!

I think this is it.

What?

My destiny.

And yours.

I think you're right.

And now I'm gonna get

out of this dress,

and you and me are gonna

consummate our marriage.

I'll be right back.

Roxy:
Close that door.

I don't want the whole

hotel to hear us.

Baby, I'm almost ready.

You ready to fulfill my destiny?

Yes, I am.

Roxy:
I love you, you know?

Dwayne:
I know.

There ain't nowhere

to go from here.

Roxy:
What do you mean?

No!

You don't have to.

Dwayne:
Yes, I do.

That's what I am.

There ain't no changing that.
