June in January Page #5

BUT I'M ON MY LUNCH BREAK,

AND I FIGURED,

IF YOU HAD A MINUTE,

MAYBE WE COULD GO OVER

SOME WEDDING DETAILS.

SURE.

I HAVE A MINUTE.

OKAY, TERRIFIC.

OH, MY GOSH.

IS THAT WHAT YOU

HAVE TO WEAR TO WORK?

UH... EVERY DAY.

I'D BE MISERABLE

IF I HAD TO DRESS

LIKE THAT EVERY DAY.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

WELL, NOT EVERYONE

CAN PULL OFF THIS LOOK.

JUST LUCKY, I GUESS.

BETHANY, WHY DON'T YOU

TAKE JUNE'S COAT?

WE CAN TALK:

IN HERE.

THANK YOU.

SO...

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

WELL, UM, I APPRECIATE

THE SUGGESTIONS YOU'VE MADE.

ALEX AND I BOTH DO.

I'M HAPPY TO HELP.

MM-HMM, BUT LISTEN, UM...

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

YOU REFERRED TO US--

ALEX TOLD ME THAT YOU'D LIKE

TO GO A DIFFERENT WAY.

THAT'S FINE.

I MEAN, I TOLD THE PHOTOGRAPHER

WE WERE MOVING ON.

OH. THAT'S GREAT.

YEAH.

OKAY, UH,

WELL, THEN,

AS FAR AS CATERING'S CONCERNED,

I FEEL LIKE--

WHAT DO YOU THINK

ABOUT JOCELYN?

JOCELYN, AS IN

THE RESTAURANT "JOCELYN"?

EXACTLY.

YEAH.

YEAH, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN

AT THE TOP OF MY LIST,

BUT I WAS TOLD:

SHE DIDN'T CATER.

SHE DOESN'T.

BUT, WELL, SHE'S A FRIEND.

OH.

DIANA, THAT'S FANTASTIC.

THANK YOU.

OH, AND, UM, DID ALEX MENTION

REVEREND FARNSWORTH?

TO OFFICIATE.

NO.

NO, UH, JUDGE McCARTEN,

THE MAN I WANTED,

WASN'T AVAILABLE.

HE MARRIED MY MOM AND DAD.

HMM.

REVEREND FARNSWORTH

MARRIED RICHARD AND ME.

WELL, HE'S RETIRED NOW,

BUT HE AGREED:

TO SLIP ON THE COLLAR

ONE LAST TIME,

FOR OLD TIME'S SAKE.

I MEAN, ISN'T THA WONDERFUL CONTINUITY?

[CHUCKLES] YEAH, THAT'S...

THAT'S REALLY SWEET.

AND I WANTED:

TO TALK TO YOU:

ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE WEDDING.

I MEAN, WOULD IT BE OKAY

IF RICHARD AND I INVITED

SOME OF:

OUR BUSINESS ASSOCIATES?

UH, HOW...

HOW MANY?

OH, NOT TOO MANY.

A DOZEN OR SO.

WELL, HERE'S

WHO WE HAD IN MIND.

BUT DON'T WORRY.

WE WILL ABSOLUTELY

ABSORB ALL OF THE COST.

UH...

[QUIETLY] YEAH...

UM...

YEAH, OKAY.

THAT'S--

THIS SHOULD BE...

GREAT.

[CHUCKLING GOOD-NATUREDLY]

OKAY.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

YEAH.

[CHUCKLING AWKWARDLY]

I GUESS:

WE'RE DONE HERE.

YEAH.

[SIGHS]

SO...

I WAS REVIEWING:

ALEX'S WEDDING TO-DO LIST,

AND IT SEEMED TO ME

THAT SOMETHING WAS MISSING.

OH?

IT'S JUS BOILERPLATE, BUT,

WELL, SOMEBODY SHOULD BE

THINKING ABOUT THIS,

DON'T YOU THINK?

JUST TO BE SAFE?

[FOOTSTEPS RECEDE]

[LETS OUT A BREATH]

[]

I'M ROLLING DICE

THE TIME IS THROUGH

FOR THINKING TWICE

I'M STEPPIN'

INTO THE DANCE:

TAKIN' A CHANCE

I'M PLACING A BET

WITHOUT A WORRY:

OR A FRET:

BECAUSE I'VE GO A FINE ROMANCE

WITHOUT TAKING A CHANCE

BEEN A-WATCHING YOU

WATCHING ME:

AND I'M READY

TO TRY MY LUCK:

TO WIN THIS GAME

I GLADLY:

THROW DOWN MY LAST BUCK

I'M GOIN' BROKE

MY DREAMS MAY ALL

GO UP IN SMOKE:

BUT LOVE'S A RISKY

CIRCUMSTANCE:

I'M TAKIN' A CHANCE

[]

I'M GOIN' BROKE

MY DREAMS MAY ALL

GO UP IN SMOKE:

BUT LOVE'S A RISKY

CIRCUMSTANCE:

AND I'M TAKIN' A CHANCE

I'M TAKIN' A CHANCE

YOU'VE SEEN

EVERYTHING WE HAVE.

WE COULD:

SPECIAL-ORDER SOMETHING,

BUT THAT WOULD:

TAKE A FEW WEEKS.

I ONLY HAVE:

A WEEK-AND-A-HALF.

IT'S FINE,

I'LL JUST TAKE THESE.

GREAT.

[CLEARS THROAT]

AW...

WELL, AT LEAST ONE THING

WILL BE PERFECT.

SEE YOU GUYS LATER.

BYE.

LET'S DITCH

THIS WEDDING STUFF,

GO GET SOME:

FINE ITALIAN FOOD

AND SOME FRANK SINATRA

ON THE JUKE BOX.

MM, I'VE STILL GO A TON OF PACKING TO DO.

CAN'T IT WAI TILL THE MORNING?

NOT REALLY.

I REALLY SHOULD:

STAY ON IT.

BYE.

[SIGHS]

[]

I LOVE THAT PICTURE

OF YOUR MOM.

I REMEMBER TAKING IT...

RIGHT BEFORE:

THE BAD STUFF STARTED.

YEAH, THAT'S WHY

I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

YOU'RE NO LEAVING IT HERE, ARE YOU?

NO. NEVER.

WHEREVER I GO, SHE GOES.

I JUST HOPE:

SHE LIKES CLEVELAND.

THE CAULIFLOWER PARMESAN

WAS JUST DIVINE.

SECOND THAT.

HOW DID SHE GE THE KALE CRISPS

TO BE SO... CRISPY?

WHAT'S IN THIS DIP?

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

ISN'T THAT CLEVER?

CLEVER:

AND SCRUMPTIOUS.

MM.

DO YOU THINK:

IT'S OKAY?

YEAH, NO, EVERYTHING'S

REALLY, REALLY,

REALLY GREAT.

UM, THERE WILL BE

A CHICKEN OPTION, RIGHT?

AND FISH?

WELL, JOCELYN'S SO INVENTIVE

WITH NON-MEAT DISHES,

I THOUGHT WE'D TAKE ADVANTAGE

OF THAT.

I MEAN, UNLESS

YOU HAVE YOUR HEART SE ON CHICKEN OR FISH.

[BETHANY]:
WELL, THEN, SHE'D

HAVE TO RE-THINK EVERYTHING

IN TERMS OF:

FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS,

AND WITH:

ONLY A WEEK TO GO?

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW

IF THERE'S TIME.

YEAH, YEAH, NO, NO, NO,

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

YEAH, THE FOOD'S

REALLY WONDERFUL.

WE CAN JUST STICK TO

THE MENU WE'VE GOT.

IT'S GOOD.

OKAY.

SO I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT WINE OR FOOD PAIRINGS,

SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING

ON THE MENU:

YOU WANT TO TALK

TO THE CATERER ABOUT--

I SAID IT WAS FINE.

WAIT, HOLD ON.

WHAT'S ALL THIS?

THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE

YOUR MOTHER'S WEDDING,

NOT OURS.

THAT'S SILLY.

IT'S NOT SILLY, ALEX.

SHE'S TRYING TO HELP.

LOOK, I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE TIME

TO HAVE THE WEDDING

THAT I ALWAYS ENVISIONED,

BUT I CERTAINLY:

DON'T WANT IT TO BE THE WEDDING

YOUR MOTHER ENVISIONS.

I JUST DON'T SEE

IT'S THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

DO YOU CARE AT ALL

ABOUT THIS WEDDING?

YEAH.

PROBABLY NO AS MUCH AS YOU, BUT--

GREAT. THANKS A LOT.

JUNE, GIVE ME A BREAK.

LOOK, I HAVE

THE Y CHROMOSOME, YOU KNOW,

I DON'T CARE ABOU WEDDING DETAILS LIKE YOU,

BUT I'M TRYING,

AND I REALLY WANT TO

MAKE YOU HAPPY.

WELL, I'M NOT.

OKAY, UM...

LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO

GET THROUGH THIS,

AND IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT,

I PROMISE.

THAT'S HOW

YOU SEE THIS WEDDING?

AS SOMETHING TO "GET THROUGH"?

ALEX, THIS WEDDING IS

REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

I-- I GET THAT.

I GET THAT, I DO,

BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME

IS US BEING TOGETHER.

I'M REALLY SORRY

THAT WE'RE RUSHING

THINGS LIKE THIS,

BUT A NEW JOB:

IN A NEW CITY,

THAT'S TERRIFYING.

THIS WEDDING IS JUS A MEANS TO AN END, OKAY,

AND THAT END:

IS US BEING TOGETHER.

THAT'S THE PAR I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO.

IT'S JUST--

THIS IS THE FIRST BIG THING

THAT WE'VE TACKLED TOGETHER,

AND IF WE CAN'T GET IT RIGHT,

WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT US?

THE WEDDING'S NOT "US".

THIS IS US.

THIS IS US.

THIS IS US.

THIS IS GOING TO BE FINE.

I PROMISE YOU. IT'S--

I'VE GOT TO GET TO WORK.

[SIGHS]

[TINY CLINK]

WHAT?

NO...

[SIGHING]

I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED

HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS.

WELL, IT'S A FIRST FOR ME.

SO YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?

YEAH.

IN FIVE DAYS.

THAT'S RARE.

YEAH, WELL,

WE HAD TO ACT FAST.

MY FIANCE'S STARTING

A NEW JOB IN FEBRUARY.

IN CLEVELAND,

OHIO.

BUT... I KNOW YOU KNOW

WHERE THAT IS.

[CHUCKLING]

A-HA!

[GRUNTS] GOT IT!

[SIGHING] OH...

GOT IT.

MY HERO.

THANK YOU.

MM.

YOU KNOW, I GOT MARRIED

IN A RUSH, TOO.

YEAH?

YEAH.

SERIOUSLY BAD MOVE.

WHY?

WELL, MY WIFE--

AH, MY EX-WIFE--

SHE DIDN'T GE THE WEDDING

THAT SHE'D ALWAYS

DREAMED OF,

AND KIND OF NEVER

FORGAVE ME FOR IT.

I'M SORRY.

AH... WE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS,

SO IT WAS MORE OF A SYMPTOM

THAN A CAUSE.

BUT I'VE ALWAYS

WONDERED:

HOW THINGS:

WOULD HAVE GONE:

IF WE'D STARTED MARRIED LIFE

WITH HER HAPPY:

INSTEAD OF:
