I Do (But I Don't) Page #4

---

I'll think about it.

When you said you had the perfect spot,

I didn't think I'd have to change...

-...into hiking boots to get there.

-Bear with me. We're almost there.

-Oh, it's pretty.

-I love it here.

I come here weekends

to decompress.

I vacuum to decompress.

That's-- That's interesting.

What do you do for excitement?

I find organizing my closet's good.

Where are you taking me?

You'll see. Don't worry. I'm not

an ax murderer or anything like that.

Yeah, like you'd tell me

if you were.

Your purse is chirping.

Yeah, I know.

You know, the park district has

a very strict policy on wildlife in captivity.

It's my walkie-talkie.

Sorry.

-Hello?

-Hey, Lauren.

Some woman named Barbara

showed up looking for you.

Tell her to have a piece of cake,

and I'll call her as soon as I can. Thanks.

-Never a dull moment, huh?

-Nope.

There it is.

Wow.

-A fairground.

-Trust me.

Right, I'm gonna trust a guy

who's engaged to my client.

I'll just keep smiling politely.

We used to come here

all the time as kids.

I thought it'd be

a great place for a reception.

It's-- It's great.

But....

I don't think this is

what Darla had in mind.

Besides, we'd have to rent

tents and bring in caterers.

And think of all the mosquito repellant

we'd have to buy.

Okay, so....

So it's a bad idea?

It's not a bad idea.

It's the thought that counts.

Here's another thought.

How about we go take a ride

on that carousel before we head back.

Come on. I'll make sure you get paid time

and a half. It's just a carousel ride.

You know, the merry-go-round

was my favorite ride as a little girl.

I was more of a Tilt-a-Whirl

kind of guy.

Lauren, I'm gonna be honest with you.

I didn't ask you all the way out here...

...just to talk about the wedding.

I really--

I wanted to talk about--

When the ride's over

I'd like to talk about...

...you and me.

I knew there could be no

"you and me" involving Darla's fianc.

But when Nick said those three words,

they sounded really good.

I was getting in deeper and deeper.

And I had to put a stop to it.

You know what?

I have to go.

Right now?

Don't you wanna wait till the ride stops?

I'm gonna--

I'll just get off right here.

Are you okay?

-I'm fine.

-Looks like you twisted that badly.

-Let's get you to a hospital.

-No, I'm fine.

No, see? Okay, okay.

Okay. Okay.

-Like I said--

-No, I'm fine.

-We're gonna get you to the hospital.

-I don't need to go.

I do this for a living, okay?

Two hours in the emergency room

and two Percocet later...

...I was feeling no pain.

You must be quiet, okay?

Okay, sorry.

Do you live alone?

Yeah. No. I mean, yes.

But my sister's staying with me.

She and her boyfriend broke up.

I don't know.

Hello?

Hello?

I don't--

I don't think she's here.

And I don't really wanna

leave you by yourself.

You took a lot of pain medication.

I'm fine, really.

Except, you know what's

really funny and weird?

I can barely focus.

My God, you're cute blurry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I had so much fun today though.

Not the hospital.

But the park was fun.

I loved the rowboats...

...and that carousel

was funny till I fell off.

Yeah, that wasn't--

I'm so stupid.

No, no.

I like you, Nick.

I do.

I know I shouldn't, but...

...I do.

Oh, my God.

He's still here.

You know, I've never met anybody

who made a to-do list in their sleep before.

-Yeah, my sister's kind of freaky like that.

-I think it's pretty cute.

Morning, patient.

-How's the ankle?

-Better.

What is going on in my kitchen?

Your sister conned me

into making breakfast.

You should try Nick's pancakes.

They're better than Mom's.

You should sit.

I'm making you food.

Well, thanks for the grub,

but I gotta motor to make it to class.

He's the one.

-Bye.

-Bye!

So how you feeling?

Confused.

Oh, I didn't wanna leave you here

by yourself last night.

You were pretty out of it.

Where was Lily?

She was out clubbing

until 5 a.m. This morning.

You and your sister--

You're very different.

Yeah, that's putting it lightly.

Your juice.

I squeezed it fresh.

Okay, this is too much.

I appreciate everything.

But the juice, the staying over.

I don't want you to think

that this means anything.

You don't date your clients?

-Of course I don't date my clients.

-Okay. Well, that settles it for me.

I'm out of the wedding.

You can't!

Oh, my God!

And this dish, by the way,

needs to soak.

This kitchen is a mess!

I don't want you

to hurt yourself again.

Don't do it.

-The dishes?

-No, the wedding.

-Now you don't want me in the wedding?

-No, I do want you in the wedding.

All right. I have to go to work,

so let's discuss this over dinner.

Absolutely not!

Great. Meet me at the station about 6.

-Are you kidding?

-I never joke about food.

Try your breakfast and you'll see.

Where have you been?

It's practically lunch.

It's 10:
30.

And I'm late

because I sprained my ankle.

Lauren, dear.

I can't have you handicapped...

...for one of the most important

weddings of my career.

No matter now.

Darla's waiting for you in my office.

She says it's important.

She only wants to speak to you.

-Did she say what it was about?

-The wedding, of course.

Hurry up!

Listen, Darla, I can explain.

I am so sorry. I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

I feel so awful.

You have no idea.

Don't. It's not your fault.

It's not?

Of course not. How can you be late

to an appointment I never made?

Well, then, why are you crying?

My fianc and I had

a fight the other night.

It was so bad he even threatened

to call off the whole wedding.

What was your fight about?

The guest list.

Silly, really.

That's why I know you can help us

work things out.

-Of course.

-I hope you don't mind.

-I told him he could meet me here.

-You did?

If there's a practical person present,

he'll listen to reason.

Right. Excuse me one minute, okay?

Thanks. Be right back.

-Oh, hi. Lauren, right?

-Yeah.

Listen, I'm really sorry

about the other night.

-Don't even worry about it.

-No, really.

I can't talk right now.

I'm dealing with a client.

Yeah, Darla said you wanted

to talk to us about the guest list.

I thought that was between

the bride and groom.

-It is.

-Then is Nick coming?

-Not that I know of.

-Sweetie, hi.

Are we still waiting on the groom?

That's me.

Jay is James, the groom.

But I thought that--

Isn't Nick the--?

Best man.

Of course he is.

Now let's go work

on that guest list.

Rule number seven:

Everything that can go wrong

can go right too.

Nick wasn't engaged after all.

No more confusion, no more guilt.

The road was finally clear.

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Everybody out!

Hold on to here.

Good job.

-Hey.

-Hi.

All right. Everybody down.

Good job.

-Don't worry. It's just a drill.

-That's a relief. They look a little young.

Hey guys, next week, I'm gonna show

you guys how to come down the fire pole.

-How's your ankle?

-Better, thank you.

Good.
