June in January Page #3

WHO'S GOING TO TAKE OVER FOR ME.

YEAH, WELL, ME NEITHER.

I'VE GOT TO HELP HIRE

AND TRAIN A REPLACEMENT.

OKAY, SO TOMORROW AT LUNCH,

LET'S GO LOOK

AT SOME NEW PLACES--

NO. NO, NO, NO, NO.

NO.

TODAY, AFTER WORK.

WE'VE GOT TO STAY ON THIS.

[]

[]

HUH...

WELL, UH, IT'S BIG ENOUGH.

IT'S NOT VERY EXCITING.

OR WARM.

IT'S FREEZING IN HERE.

WE SHOULD:

KEEP LOOKING.

YUP.

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

STALE CIGARETTES.

RIGHT.

I FORGOT HOW AWFUL

THAT SMELL IS.

I GUESS IT'S STILL LEGAL

TO SMOKE IN PRIVATE CLUBS.

[TOGETHER] NEXT.

HOW CAN SOMETHING

THAT CALLS ITSELF "GRAND"

BE SO... BLAH?

THIS PLACE WOULD NEED

A COMPLETE OVERHAUL TO WORK.

AND IT'S WAY TOO BIG.

WOULD YOU:

CONSIDER ELOPING?

DON'T YOU EVER

SAY THAT WORD AGAIN.

OKAY.

[CHUCKLES]

WE NEED HELP.

MM-HMM.

WHAT DO YOU:

HAVE IN MIND?

SOMEONE WHO'S

EITHER DECORATED

OR BEEN A CONSULTAN AT EVERY GOOD SPOT IN TOWN.

YOU KNOW, BECAUSE

WE'RE SO JAMMED FOR TIME,

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE

MANY PLACES AVAILABLE.

AND THE PLACES:

WE'VE SEEN

HAVE BEEN AWFUL.

I KNOW, GIVEN

THE TIME OF YEAR,

WE HAVE TO FIND:

SOMEWHERE INSIDE,

BUT I'D AT LEAST LIKE

A VENUE WITH WINDOWS

THAT LET IN LIGHT,

YOU KNOW?

WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE HARD

TO FIND SOMEPLACE YOU LIKE.

I MEAN, MOST PEOPLE

BOOK WAY IN ADVANCE.

MOM, YOU'RE PRETTY

DIALED IN.

YOU THINK YOU COULD

CALL SOMEONE?

OR...

I CAN TRY.

BUT YOU KNOW...

I WAS THINKING:

THE SAME THING.

WHY DON'T YOU DO IT HERE?

[DAD]:
WE CERTAINLY

HAVE THE SPACE,

A KITCHEN THAT CAN

ACCOMMODATE CATERERS,

AND A MAIN ROOM:

THAT'S ALL ABOUT LIGHT.

UH...

IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF,

IT'S A LOVELY SETTING

FOR A WEDDING.

CONSIDER I OUR WEDDING GIFT.

UM...

WOW...

[STAMMERING] YEAH, YOU KNOW,

WE WOULD NOT WANT TO

INCONVENIENCE YOU.

OH, YOU WOULDN'T BE

INCONVENIENCING US.

WE'RE USED TO

PUTTING ON EVENTS HERE.

[DIANA]:
YEAH.

THE NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY

WAS PRETTY FANTASTIC.

YEAH, IT WAS GREAT.

UM, BUT, LISTEN,

IF WE DID DO IT HERE,

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO

"PUT ON" ANYTHING.

WE WOULD ARRANGE EVERYTHING.

OF COURSE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN, AFTER ALL,

IT'S YOUR WEDDING.

YEAH.

IT'S SETTLED.

TO JUNE AND ALEX...

AND THE GREATEST WEDDING

PUT TOGETHER:

IN THREE WEEKS:

THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

[CHUCKLING MERRILY]

CHEERS.

NO, IT'S REALLY

[CHUCKLING NICE OF THEM.

"BUT"? I HEAR

A "BUT" IN THERE.

I KNOW MOTHER:

DOESN'T LIKE ME.

OF COURSE SHE LIKES YOU.

SHE'S JUS SET IN HER WAYS.

WELL, I'M JUST SURE

SHE HAD SOMEONE BETTER

IN MIND FOR YOU TO MARRY.

[LAUGHS] THAN

THE GREATEST WOMAN EVER?

BETTER THAN A NURSE.

EXCEPT YOU'RE

A NURSE-PRACTITIONER.

LIKE SHE KNOWS:

THE DIFFERENCE.

LOOK, IT'S JUST-- ALEX,

THIS IS OUR WEDDING.

I DON'T WANT YOUR MOTHER

CO-OPTING IT.

SHE WON'T.

SHE'LL BE TEMPTED TO.

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED

IN HER HOUSE.

THEN LET'S GET MARRIED

SOMEWHERE ELSE.

[SIGHS]

WE DON'T HAVE TIME,

AND ANYWAY,

IT REALLY IS:

A BEAUTIFUL VENUE FOR A WEDDING.

OKAY.

YEAH.

YOU OKAY WITH THE FLATWARE

THAT LOOKS LIKE BAMBOO?

SURE.

AND WHAT ABOU WINE GLASSES?

ELEGANT AND THIN

OR ROUGH AND STURDY?

ELEGANT AND THIN.

REALLY?

BUT YOU'RE A ROUGH

AND STURDY KIND OF GUY.

YEAH, BUT YOU'RE NOT.

SO, WHAT,

YOU'RE JUST PICKING

STUFF THAT I LIKE?

MM-HMM.

REALLY?

SO, WHAT IF I WANT...

LAVENDER SHEETS?

I LOVE:

LAVENDER SHEETS.

AND HELLO KITTY:

DISH TOWELS?

STOP IT,

MIND-READER.

POLKA DO TUPPERWARE?

MATCHING FLANNEL

NIGHTGOWNS?

OKAY, BACK TO BUSINESS.

I GUESS.

[CHUCKLES]

THREE WEEKS?

WELL, NOW WE'RE DOWN

TO TWO AND A HALF.

WHY THE RUSH?

WE'RE MOVING TO CLEVELAND

NEXT MONTH.

CLEVELAND?

OHIO.

I KNOW WHERE CLEVELAND IS.

I JUST-- I DON'T THINK

IT'S POSSIBLE.

NO, DON'T SAY THAT.

I MEAN FOR ME.

OH.

RIGHT, UM...

WELL, MAYBE

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE

YOU COULD RECOMMEND?

OF COURSE I'M GONNA DO IT!

I JUST NEED TO:

KICK AND SCREAM A LITTLE BIT.

CAN WE STILL DO:

THE PEONIES AND RANUNCULUS?

WELL, PEONIES

ARE OUT OF SEASON, SO...

I'M SURE THEY'RE GROWING

SOMEWHERE.

I'LL SEE IF I CAN

SPECIAL ORDER THEM.

PERFECT!

NO, NO, DON'T HOLD OU FOR PERFECT, JUNE, OKAY?

WE'LL JUST DO THE BEST WE CAN.

GOT IT.

YEAH, RIGHT.

[KNOCKS GENTLY]

MAESTRO!

BUON GIORNO.

HOW ARE YOU?

NEVER BEEN BETTER.

YOUR REGIME:

IS WORKING BEAUTIFULLY.

I HAVE NO FELT BLUE IN DAYS.

AW, THAT'S GREAT.

DID YOU JOIN A GYM?

DANCING LESSONS.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

GOOD FOR YOU.

LISTEN,

I HAVE SOME NEWS.

YEAH.

I'M LEAVING IN A FEW WEEKS.

MY FIANCE GOT A NEW JOB,

AND WE'RE MOVING TO OHIO.

THAT'S BIG NEWS, HUH?

I KNOW.

I'M GONNA MISS MY PATIENTS.

SOME MORE THAN OTHERS.

HMM, NOT AS MUCH

AS WE WILL MISS YOU.

AND I NEED YOUR ADVICE.

I WOULD LIKE TO HIRE

A STRING QUARTE FOR MY CEREMONY,

AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW

A LOT OF GREAT PLAYERS.

I DO.

IN FACT, I'M QUITE CLOSE TO

ONE OF THE FINEST VIOLINISTS

IN THE CITY,

AND HE IS IN A WONDERFUL DUO

WITH A PIANIST,

AND HE WOULD CONSIDER I A GREAT HONOR

TO PLAY AT THE WEDDING

OF HIS MOST FAVORITE

NURSE-PRACTITIONER.

WOULD A VIOLIN AND A PIANO DO?

VIOLIN AND PIANO

WOULD BE GREAT.

BUT NOT FOR HIRE, HUH?

AS MY GIFT.

THANK YOU, PAULO.

THAT'S REALLY NICE.

MY PLEASURE.

[JUNE]:

HEY, SO I'M MAKING PROGRESS

ON THE FLOWERS AND THE MUSIC.

THAT'S GREAT.

WELL, NOT EXACTLY THE FLOWERS

AND MUSIC I WANTED,

BUT CLOSE ENOUGH,

AND I'M ALMOST DONE

WITH THE INVITATIONS.

HOW ARE THINGS ON YOUR END?

UH, GOOD, GOOD.

I MADE A FEW CALLS

AND SOME:

INTERNET INQUIRIES.

JUST WAITING FOR PEOPLE

TO CALL ME BACK.

GOOD, BUT JUS DON'T WAIT TOO LONG,

BECAUSE WE'VE GO TO NAIL THINGS DOWN.

NO, I KNOW.

I'LL CALL YOU

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

OKAY.

I LOVE YOU.

SLEEP TIGHT,

SWEETHEART.

LOVE YOU, TOO.

BYE.

[SIGHS HAPPILY]

EVERYTHING OKAY?

YEAH.

YEAH, JUS WEDDING STUFF.

WHAT WEDDING STUFF?

CATERERS,

PHOTOGRAPHERS,

MINISTER.

I HAVE A LIST.

THAT'S A LOT.

YEAH, WELL,

JUNE'S IS JUST AS BIG,

BUT, UH, I'M NO AS INTO IT AS SHE IS.

YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE A GUY.

[DIANA]:

YOU KNOW, DARLING,

UM, THIS IS A REALLY SLOW

TIME OF YEAR FOR ME,

AND I...

I'VE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE

WITH CATERERS,

AND PHOTOGRAPHERS, AND--

I'M SURE ALEX CAN HANDLE IT.

I KNOW HE COULD.

BUT, YOU KNOW,

IF YOU NEED SOME HELP.

THANK YOU, MOM,

BUT JUNE AND I, WE REALLY

WANT TO DO THIS OURSELVES.

WELL, CAN I MAKE

SOME SUGGESTIONS?

I MEAN,

YOU YOURSELF SAID THAT...

THAT I WAS DIALED IN.

OKAY.

BUT SUGGESTIONS ONLY.

OF COURSE.

GIVE ME A COPY OF YOUR LIST.

[KNOCKS]

HOW'S IT GOING?

I FEEL SLIGHTLY LESS BURIED

UNDER AN AVALANCHE

THAN I DID THIS MORNING.

ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP?

NO.

OH, BUT IF I STAR TO GO BRIDEZILLA,

PROMISE ME:

YOU'LL YANK ME BACK TO EARTH.

[LAUGHS]

PROMISE.

I'M TURNING IN.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, SWEETHEART.

[SIGHS]

[MOM]:

...WITH A STRING QUARTET?

[YOUNG JUNE]:

AND JUST MY FAMILY

AND MY CLOSEST FRIENDS.

NO MEAN GIRLS ALLOWED.

ABSOLUTELY.

A STRICTLY ENFORCED

MEAN GIRLS BAN.

I HOPE I'LL LOOK
