June in January Page #6

DISAPPOINTED.

SO I'VE GOT TO GET GOING

ON MY NEXT CALL.

OH, RIGHT.

OKAY, HERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

OH, AND, UH,

GOOD LUCK WITH... EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU.

YEAH.

[TRUCK ENGINE STARTS]

[TRUCK PULLS AWAY]

OH, I'M SO LATE.

I'M JUST GLAD YOU GO YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING BACK.

DO YOU THINK IT WAS AN OMEN?

LIKE MAYBE:

I WANTED TO LOSE IT?

WOW, ARE YOU HAVING

SECOND THOUGHTS,

OR IS THIS JUS THE JITTERS

EVERY BRIDE-TO-BE

IS SUPPOSED TO GET?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT MY RING LITERALLY

WENT "DOWN THE DRAIN."

AND I FLIRTED:

WITH THE PLUMBER.

WAS HE CUTE?

YEAH.

SO, THEN, WHY WOULDN'T YOU

FLIRT WITH HIM?

BECAUSE I'M GETTING MARRIED!

SO THERE'S YOUR ANSWER.

NO OMEN,

IT'S JUST AN ACCIDENT.

I THINK I'M STARTING

TO LOSE IT, TESSA.

HEY!

MATT ASKED ME TO BE

HIS PLUS-ONE AT THE WEDDING.

WHICH MAKES SENSE.

I MEAN,

BEST MAN, MAID OF HONOR.

SO DON'T UNRAVEL ON ME NOW.

THERE'S MORE AT STAKE HERE

THAN JUST YOU.

[CHUCKLES]

[QUIETLY] OKAY.

[]

[KNOCKS GENTLY]

BETHANY. HI.

HEY.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO LUNCH,

AND YOUR MOTHER ASKED ME

TO BRING YOU THIS.

WHAT'S THIS?

JUST SOME LEGAL PAPERS

CONNECTED TO THE WEDDING.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.

RIGHT. BUSMAN'S HOLIDAY.

EXACTLY.

SO, HAVE YOU HAD LUNCH?

I HAVE NOT.

WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME?

SURE.

WHAT WERE WE THINKING?

WE WEREN'T.

WE WERE YOUNG:

AND INVINCIBLE.

I'M GOING TO GO WITH

YOUNG AND INSANE,

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.

BUT WHA GOOD TIMES WE HAD,

AND LOOK AT US NOW.

WE'RE ALL GROWN UP.

WELL, THAT WAS

BOUND TO HAPPEN.

I SUPPOSE SO.

I WAS ALWAYS JEALOUS

OF HILARY, YOU KNOW.

REALLY? WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE SHE WAS WITH YOU.

I HAD A HUGE CRUSH ON YOU, ALEX.

AND I STILL DO.

AND I WANTED YOU

TO KNOW THA SO THAT WHEN YOU HEAR

WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY,

YOU'D UNDERSTAND

THAT I'M A LITTLE BIT BIASED.

SAY WHAT?

I THINK YOU'RE MAKING

A BIG MISTAKE MARRYING JUNE.

I'VE SEEN

THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER,

AND I JUST DON'T GET IT.

YOU'RE SUCH

A CLASSY GUY, ALEX,

AND SHE'S...

SHE'S WHAT?

NOT.

I MEAN, SURE,

SHE'S PRETTY

AND FUN:

AND CLEVER...

SHE DOESN'T SEEM

LIKE A GOOD--

THAT'S ENOUGH.

WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS?

BECAUSE...

BECAUSE WE'RE FRIENDS,

AND FRIENDS ARE SUPPOSED TO

BE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER.

[CHUCKLES MIRTHLESSLY]

REALLY.

OKAY.

LET ME BE HONEST WITH YOU,

THEN.

I KNEW YOU HAD A CRUSH ON ME

IN COLLEGE.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

BECAUSE I WAS NO INTERESTED.

AND HOW COULD I BE?

YOU WERE MANIPULATIVE

AND SELF-SERVING,

AND I'D THOUGHT THAT,

AT LEAST BY NOW,

YOU WOULD HAVE CHANGED,

MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE GROWN UP

A LITTLE BIT.

I GUESS NOT.

[SIGHS]

[BILLS CRINKLE]

I LOVE JUNE.

AND SHE HAS MORE CLASS

IN HER FINGER:

THAN I COULD EVER DREAM

OF HAVING.

[FOOTSTEPS RECEDE]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

THIS WAS JUST HAND-DELIVERED.

THANK YOU.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS.

WELL, I DO.

IT'S OUTRAGEOUS!

AND INSULTING!

YOU CAN'T SIGN THIS.

OF COURSE NOT.

SHE HAS NO STANDING

TO DO THIS, DOES SHE?

NO.

AND SOMEONE IS:

GONNA TELL HER THAT.

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WAN TO JUST TAKE A BEAT HERE?

ABSOLUTELY SURE.

JUNE. HI.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

I KNOW YOU DON' LIKE ME, DIANA.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THAT YOU THINK:

I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ALEX.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

BUT A PRE-NUP?

HOW DARE YOU.

I AM NOT MARRYING ALEX

FOR HIS MONEY,

WHATEVER YOU MAY THINK.

I DON'T THINK THAT AT ALL.

I DO THINK THE TWO OF YOU

ARE RUSHING INTO THIS MARRIAGE

WHEN IT WOULD BE MORE PRUDEN TO WAIT.

IT WAS ALEX'S IDEA

TO GET MARRIED SO SOON.

WELL, ALEX DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW

WHAT'S BEST FOR HIM.

AND YOU DO?

I HOPE SO.

I'M HIS MOTHER.

AND YOU THINK:

HE NEEDS A PRE-NUP?

IF HIS MONEY:

IS OF NO INTEREST TO YOU,

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE

IF YOU SIGN ONE OR NOT?

THIS WAS YOUR IDEA?

THIS WAS NOT ON EITHER

OF YOUR LISTS,

SO, YES,

I TOOK THE INITIATIVE.

YOU HAD NO RIGH TO TAKE THAT.

I'M NOT GOING

TO STAND AROUND:

AND WATCH YOU MAKE

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE

OF YOUR LIFE,

AND NOT DO EVERYTHING I CAN

TO PROTECT YOU.

A MISTAKE?

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY

A RED FLAG HERE, ALEX.

ONE THAT YOU'RE NOT SEEING.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

SHE IS MORE IN LOVE

WITH THE WEDDING

AND IN MAKING IT "JUST SO"

THAN SHE IS WITH YOU.

SO WERE YOU! YOU WERE OBSESSED

OVER YOUR WEDDING.

DAD TOLD ME YOU WERE!

OH, WELL,

THAT MAY BE,

BUT I NEVER LET I GET IN THE WAY

OF HOW I FELT ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

AND NEITHER HAS JUNE!

STOP IT!

BOTH OF YOU!

MY MOTHER AND I DREAMED

ABOUT THE KIND OF WEDDING

I WOULD HAVE,

AND IT BROKE MY HEAR TO GIVE UP ON THAT DREAM,

BUT I DID IT FOR ALEX.

AND I HAD HOPED,

IN TIME,

THAT MAYBE YOU AND I

COULD FIND A WAY TO CONNECT,

JUST A LITTLE BIT,

BECAUSE I NEED THA IF I'M GOING TO BE

A PART OF THIS FAMILY.

BUT I WAS WRONG TO HOPE THAT,

AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

THIS IS A BIG:

MISTAKE.

EVERYTHING ABOUT I HAS BEEN WRONG,

FROM THE MINUTE:

WE AGREED TO IT.

IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.

[SIGHING]

NOWHERE NEAR.

THE WEDDING IS OFF.

JUNE...

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

I'M SORRY, ALEX,

I-- I MEANT NO HARM.

YEAH, MOM...

YEAH, YOU DID.

AND YOU'D BETTER HOPE

I CAN MAKE THIS RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, AND, UH,

THANKS ALSO:

FOR SICCING BETHANY ON ME.

WHAT?

"YOU'RE MAKING

A BIG MISTAKE, ALEX."

[CHUCKLES]

PERHAPS YOUR DOUBLE-TEAMING

WOULD HAVE BEEN:

A LITTLE MORE EFFECTIVE

HAD YOU NOT MEMORIZED

THE SAME SCRIPT.

JUNIE?

[KNOCKING GENTLY]

SWEETHEART,

I WANT TO HELP.

I DON'T WANT TO

TALK ABOUT IT, DAD.

SWEET--

[DOORBELL RINGS]

JUNE'S NOT RETURNING

MY CALLS OR TEXTS.

JUNE, WILL YOU TALK TO ME?

NO!

LISTEN...

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,

AND I'M SORRY FOR WHATEVER I DID

TO CAUSE THIS DISASTER,

AND I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WAN TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

I'LL DO ANYTHING.

[TEARFULLY] JUST GO AWAY.

WE CAN STOP THE CRAZINESS.

LET'S HAVE A JUNE WEDDING.

I MEAN, WHATEVER

YOU WANT TO DO.

ALEX...

YOU SHOULD, UH,

PROBABLY GIVE HER A NIGH TO SLEEP IT OFF.

I'VE NEVER

SEEN HER LIKE THAT BEFORE.

I KNOW MY DAUGHTER, ALEX,

AND I KNOW:

HOW MUCH SHE LOVES YOU.

BUT RIGHT NOW SHE'S IN A STATE,

A BAD ONE.

BUT SHE'S NO GOING TO BE THERE FOREVER,

I PROMISE YOU.

I HOPE SO.

[]

[SNIFFLES]

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

DIANA?

WE NEED TO TALK.

ALEX TOLD YOU:

WHAT HAPPENED?

YES.

YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEONE

AS ACCOMPLISHED:

AND INTELLIGENT AS YOU ARE,

YOU'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY CLUMSY.

WELL...

JUNE'S CANCELING THE WEDDING

CANNOT JUST BE ABOUT ME.

NO, NO, I'M SURE

SHE'S UNDER A LOT OF STRESS.

AS IS ALEX.

WHICH IS WHY:

WE SHOULD BE HELPING,

AND NOT HURTING THEM.

I TRIED TO HELP.

BY TAKING OVER HER WEDDING?

NO, I-- I DIDN'T TAKE OVER.

I JUST-- I MADE SUGGESTIONS.

YOU SIDE-SWIPED HER DREAM,

DIANA.

YOU:

HAD A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN

THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR WEDDING

BECAUSE THE FLOWER YOU ORDERED

TURNED OUT TO BE FUCHSIA

INSTEAD OF ORANGE,

AND YOU MOVED HEAVEN AND EARTH

TO GET ORANGE.

OH, SHE HATES ME.

AND WHY SHOULDN'T SHE?

SHE IS GOING TO BE

A PART OF THIS FAMILY,

AND YOU HAVE TO:

GET USED TO THAT,

STARTING NOW.

AND YOU ALSO NEED TO FIND A WAY

TO MAKE IT UP TO ALEX.

I'M LOSING HIM, RICHARD.

HE'S YOUR SON, DIANA.
