Did you give your friend
back his stuff?
Oh, yeah. He wasn't there,
so I left it in his room.
How'd you get in
if he wasn't there?
His roommate
let me in.
What kind of question
is that?
or something. I don't know.
Now, don't worry
about this tablecloth.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Oh, that is really nice.
Don't be nervous. She's the one
who's supposed to be nervous.
Yeah, well, if her family
just wasn't so rich.
She's not marrying Matt
for his money.
That's good, because if she is,
she's in for a terrible surprise.
Matt was saying that he didn't think
she'd ever seen artificial fabric...
before she went to college.
Oh.
This is so nice. I wish somebody had gone to all
this trouble for me when I was getting married.
- Give me the glasses.
- I got'em.
You smell like alcohol.
Take the back way, go up
the stairs to the shower...
run it hot until it's all gone
and you've sweated the liquor out.
Well, if I'm such a screw up that I can't even
go in the front door of my own house...
You want to go in the front door, Tim?
You go ahead.
Go in the front door
and go hug your mother.
Is that what you want to do?
Then why don't you do it?
- I said I was sorry.
- I'm tired of you being sorry, Tim.
I am worn out
with sorry.
Instead of being so damn sorry all the time,
you might just try a little discipline.
Phil, is that you?
Tim?
- You're late.
- Oh, yeah.
Oh, good.
You remembered the glasses.
And the shrimp.
Aren't you good.
Yeah.
I thought we weren't gonna make
a big deal of this.
Matt said that we shouldn't
make a big deal of things.
Oh. Phil, a tablecloth
isn't a big deal.
A tablecloth is a tablecloth.
Where's Tim?
- Upstairs. He's, uh...
- What?
Nothing. Uh...
Somebody stuffed it
a tablecloth from the restaurant.
For this size table?
What are you talking about, Phil?
Come on. Allison
is used to nice things.
Did you have to call
the plumber?
For what?
- For the toilet.
- Oh. No. No, uh...
Tim got it.
He just kept at it.
See? I don't know why you
worry about him so much.
- Hey, there she is!
- Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!
- Mom?
- In the kitchen.
Thank you.
We almost did find a tenant, but he got
arrested two days before he moved in.
to be a good thing.
Except that we turned down
a really nice couple.
Karen, uh, cut the celery in half
before you slice it.
- What?
- In half.
Here.
Like this.
Oh. Okay.
Anyway, this nice couple
would have been great...
except they tried to bargain with us,
which irritated Tom.
I would have tried to bargain too.
You never know. It doesn't hurt to ask.
Considering we don't get free rent
unless the whole place is full...
we can't really afford
to hold a grudge.
Anyway, when we called them back,
they'd already found...
What do you think?
Should I put these out now, or should I
wait until Matt and Allison get here?
- Uh, whatever.
- Hmm.
Having children is
an economic thing too, though.
You have to
plan for it.
And have
some kind of savings.
I've always thought that if you've
got the love, then everything else...
Lisa quit teaching school
It was a decision
we were prepared to make...
because we had worked
and saved for it.
That's what you have to do.
Right. Right.
So...
- Is this it?
- Yes. This is it. This is it.
Wow.
You've seen the pond
where I twisted my ankle. Right?
You've seen the church
where I was confirmed. Right?
My dad's restaurant.
Now, this is
the high school...
where I became
an intellectual giant.
- Come on.
- Matt...
Come on. This is
the romantic part.
This is where
it all began.
Where I wrote my first published work
for the Viking Ledger.
Won my first debate
in interscholastic competition.
And I scored so well
that I got
a scholarship to Yale...
and met Allison Hall,
the girl I'm gonna marry.
The woman
you're going to marry.
- That's a 10.
- Ten, 11, 12, 13.
- That's a double.
- Whoa.
- That's 26.
- I'm still winning.
- Twenty-six.
- What have I got here?
Tim, save some of those
for Matt and Allison.
- All right. It's my turn.
- Gross.
- Shoot.
- Where are they?
They're here. They just drove up.
- Oh, but I'm winning.
- Of course you are.
- You've got both blanks, two S's, the "J."
- Oh, pout.
You haven't opened up the game once.
That's why you're winning.
You're a leech.
- Is the "Q" still out?
- Don't look at my letters.
We're finishing this
after dinner.
Here you are!
Traffic is murder from New Haven.
- Good to see you.
- Nice to meet you.
Allison, please call me "Phil. "
Come in. You must be starving.
- Hi.
- Traffic was terrible.
- I'm so glad you're home.
- Traffic's tough.
- It is.
- Get out of here.
This is something else.
- Here's a picture of me and Allison.
- Whoa.
- Sorry.
- Watch it, Dad.
Gonna poke somebody's eye out.
Here's a picture of yours truly
and his bride-to-be...
on the most amazing yacht
you have ever seen.
- Look at that.
- Oh. That's incredible.
Look at that.
Wow. This belongs
to your father?
Well, yeah, but we
never really use it.
It belongs
to his business.
If we want to take it out, we have to pay to,
unless it's a company thing.
Look at it.
Great paint job.
Dear God, we are thankful today
to be here as a family.
We thank you for this food and the work
you have given us to provide it.
We especially thank you
for bringing Allison into our family.
We pray that you will bless
Matt and Allison and their marriage...
as you have blessed us.
This we humbly ask
in your name. Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Well, here's to
Allison and Matt. Cheers.
The church was built
in 1852. It's incredible.
And the chapel was named after
one of Allison's relatives.
Oh, no.
It's a distant relative.
And by marriage. My family
really isn't involved with the chur...
You won't believe who's being
invited to the wedding.
The Kennedys. The Pattersons.
Diane Sawyer.
The Kennedys.
Wait.
Will you stop it?
You know what?
We don't know them.
I mean, my dad does business with them,
- I don't even know which.
- Karen campaigned for one of the Kennedys.
- Who was it?
- Joseph Kennedy.
Of course, we didn't know them either.
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Well, we could have.
We have a restaurant.
That's where all those congressmen
Speaking of restaurants, Andy is driving
me nuts about your bachelor party.
I think he's taking this best man thing
too seriously.
He even called me
the other day when I was teaching class.
I didn't see Kyle's name on the invitation list.
What happened to Kyle?
Are we through?
Anyone want seconds?
- I'll have some pie.
- Is Kyle coming?
- He's transferring to Duke.
- Not until the fall, is he?
