I didn't want to think about it then.

I just don't believe any of this.

I don't believe it.

Who else, you rotten son of btch?

Who else did you sleep with?

So far you've slept with everyone

you've ever had a meal with!

Kay?

Mother, dear.

- Who are you talking to?

- Emily.

Me.

You slept with every man you ever

had a meal with?

- Well, not every man.

- Not every meal.

- No, no. That's right.

- Certainly not breakfast or lunch.

- Just dinners.

- At restaurants.

Yes.

I think we should

begin the rehearsal.

- Great idea.

- Great idea.

Bridesmaid, indeed!

- I haven't finished with you yet.

- Yes.

- That's fine.

- Okay I'm ready.

- Well, where's Rupert?

- Rupert!

Here. Here I am.

Fine. Now. Kay.

Coming downstairs is fine but...

...you will end up on, on my right

and...

...Rupert on my left.

- Okay.

- Okay.

You do understand this is

only a rehearsal.

Will he be asking "Are

there any objections?"

- By the way, you do have the ring?

- Wait a minute, wait a minute.

- And the license?

- What?

There's just a something I have to

straighten out before...

...we go any further.

- What?

- Wait here, I'll be right back.

- Me, too.

False alarm.

Charlotte, come and have some

champagne.

Hello, hello out there, hello.

Jolly?

I know you're here.

Hello, hello out there.

Hello.

- Hello. Is that you?

- Of course, it's me.

My God, it's in the dog.

Could you help me to

get out of here?

- Is it the form you usually take?

- Hey, I'm stuck here.

What's it like where you come from?

- Where I come from?

This is fascinating.

Is there much pain there?

- No pain but it's uncomfortable.

- How about fire?

- None.

There's no fire.

Everything is just fine.

There were some sparks before,

but no fire.

Sparks?

This is incredible.

Why are you here?

I'm here for the wedding,

you idiot.

Will you put that thing down?

You're always playing with something.

My God. You have the attention span

of very small child.

- Kay, darling...

- God. Don't "Kay, darling" me.

That's what you always do to me.

I've always hated it.

Every time you would do something

outrageous you would...

...turn to me and say

"Kay, darling."

I hope what Emily said up there

didn't confuse yo...

Confuse me? Confuse me?

Why, no.

I was already so

confused on my own.

You know we did have a

great life together.

Yes we did. We had a great

life together.

You realize of course I'm going to

have to remove you...

...with the power of Almighty God.

- I don't care what you use.

Just get me the hell out of here.

I found him. He's downstairs.

- I found him. He's in here.

- The spirit?

- He's in the dog.

- The dog?

- The dog.

- Of course.

That's why he's hated me

so much.

Good luck.

- I'm leaving.

- You're leaving?

And now, I'm the bad guy.

The villain with the black hat.

- You don't like that, huh.

- No, not very much.

Leading man, hero, that's more

my style, don't you think?

That's too bad.

I'm casting this one.

So you've switched me to

playing the heavy.

I haven't switched you

to anything.

But for three years I've

been the hero.

Yes, you were. Because

that's all I could see.

That's all I could remeber

about you...

...were the good things and

the good times.

And now suddenly, you've

come face to face...

...with some of my

small weaknesses.

Small weaknesses?

You call belonging to the affair

of the month club a small weakness?

You, now see me Kay, as the guy

I really was.

I mean, hardly perfect and

sometimes a stinker.

But pretty much like everyone else.

You know no black hat no white hat.

I was...

Who...

- Jolly.

- Jolly.

- And, Rupert...

- Rupert is Rupert.

- And... And a wonderful guy.

- Yes he is. He is a wonderful guy.

He may not be the best guy around

the town and not be able to dance.

- And possibly never will.

- And possibly never will.

But you know what? He loves me.

And I love him. And I want to get

on with my life.

- Well, welcome back.

- You have to leave, Jolly.

- Yes I know.

- I've no room in my life for yo...

- Right.

- What?

Come back here!

Come back here,

you miserable mutt!

I said, right. That's fine

with me.

I'll go.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I don't trust this.

You want me to believe

that's why you came here?

- Why?

- To help me?

To make me understand things?

Be careful, Kay. Be very careful.

I mean you're going to accuse me

of doing something unselfish...

...and I do have reputation

to consider.

Jolly. Well, that would be just

like you. Typical.

Turn this into a grand gesture

on your part.

I'm supposed to...

...believe now that you came here

to help me get you off my mind.

- Right?

- Good luck.

No wait, Jolly wait. You can't go.

I'm right, aren't I? Right?

Darling, you've, you have a

wonderful marriage. You deserve it.

- I do?

- Come on, kiss me goodbye.

Kay, are you in there?

Jolly.

Mother.

Mother.

- What?

- Oh, I'm so happy.

- Oh, thank God.

- Where's Rupert?

- I saw him chasing the dog.

- Where?

- Upstairs.

- Yes.

Emily.

Everything's all fixed up.

Get everyone ready for the try-on.

- All right.

Well, okay pal, okay.

Maybe I can't dance like you, but

you don't happen to have...

...the market on passion

cornered Mister.

I happen to have a little of the

old heat in me myself.

I happen to love that woman!

And I happen to be marrying her

tomorrow because I love her.

And, furthermore I want you out

of our lives.

Do you hear that? I want you out.

Because I'm sick of your innuendos,

your testing and your meddling...

...in my and

my fiancee's affairs...

...even if you did love her.

Now, I'm going down the stairs and

I'm going to marry her and I...

...don't want to hear another word

from yo...

You got that?

Avaunt...

And begone.

It's Edgar, I know it.

I'll kill him.

Something's wrong with it.

Emily?

Watch out!

- Did you see that?

- I saw it.

- You heard what I said?

- I heard it.

- I have to something to tell you.

- What?

- Jolly, he's gone.

- Jolly is gone?

Forever.

Rupert, I love yo...

I love you, too, Kay.

Kay. Let's get on with

the rehearsal.

I don't want to get on with the

rehearsal. I want to get married.

- Right now?

- Tonight?

Right now.

Can you?

- Well, I suppose.

- What about the guests tomorrow?

We'll go through it again

tomorrow night.

Well, that's very irresponsible.

Loosen up.

That sounds like a great idea.

Well get on down here and

let's get married.

I'm coming.

Rupert! Rupert!

My God. Call a doctor.

- Don't move him.

- Billy, get some ice or water.

- Perrier.

Charlotte!

Charlotte. I fixed it.

- I'm not talking to yo...

Oh, the kid been drinking?

- Hi!

- Rupert, are you all right?

Fine. I feel better.

Rupert.

What's everyone staring at?

Come on. Let's get the show

on the road.

Mom, how about some champagne?

- I'd love it.

Kay?
