Laws of Attraction Page #8

but fight!

People who are supposed

to fight to save a marriage

have to be in a marriage

they want to be in!

- I am!

- That's bullshit!

No, it isn't!

Let me tell you something.

I'm not in this marriage

to save my career,

I'm sorry to disappoint you,

but I don't care about my career!

But I do care about you...

And so I will give you

a divorce, gladly,

because...

call me old fashioned,

but when you love someone...

I believe you should be

unselfish enough

to give them

whatever they want.

I'll be around later

to pick up my things.

Hello?

Mom?

- Hello?

- Hi, Sara, it's Arlene.

Arlene, can I call you back?

I have Audrey with me.

Darling, you can't

live your life

trying to avoid

the mistakes I've made.

You've got

to make your own.

You think I'm making one?

I don't know

what to tell you, honey.

All I know is that I'm

running out of favors.

Do you have any idea

how hard it is

to place an item on page six

of the New York Post?

Oh.

It'll be all right.

I had Thorne Jamison's

12-year-old assistant

on the phone this morning.

Don't ask me how she got

my private line... it's unlisted.

Anyway, she has informed me

that your client

will not be appearing

in court today,

as he has gone back

to his castle in Ireland.

Which as you know has not yet

been awarded to either party

and is, as such, off limits.

Now I'm going to give you

48 hours to get him back here

or I'm going to dismiss this case

for failure to prosecute.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

- Oh, welcome back.

- Hello, Mrs. Flanagan.

Is Mr. Jamison in?

- Oh my God!

- Oh, no.

Oh my God!

Are you... oh!

- Get off of me!

- Oh, I uh...

l-I'm so sorry.

I thought y-you...

you screamed.

Yeah, don't you?

Nice one, babe.

Yeah, no... well...

see, uh, we... we both

got here on separate planes

and, uh, we were just about to get stuck

into tearing the place apart

when Mrs. F comes in and says,

"Happy Anniversary."

Seven years.

You was just a baby,

weren't you?

See, we got married here

in the local village.

Anyway, we decided

to make it work.

- You know, whatever, right?

- Yeah

- You can't give up, right?

- No.

I couldn't agree more.

- Audrey.

- Hello.

What are you both

doing here, anyway?

I came to tell you you're not

legally allowed to be here.

Yeah, but we are.

Yeah, 'cause like we own it.

But, uh, you know, thanks

for coming all this way.

Michael! You must both

stay for some nosh.

Yes, sir?

Ah, hello there.

If it isn't themselves.

How are you?

Ah, Michael, uh,

will you tell Mrs. Flanagan

that we will be

two extra for din-dins?

- No problem, sir.

- So you work here as well?

As well as what?

Being a priest.

Oh, I see!

Yeah, the old festival.

Ah, no, I just do that

for a bit of fun.

I have an ecclesiastical

demeanor apparently.

So...

you're not a real priest?

Oh, goodness me, no.

Still, I see you went ahead

and did it for real.

I can always tell

the ones who will.

Congratulations.

So...

- so that means then...

- Oh, no! Oh, God.

Well...

the last thing anyone

in this room seems to need

is a divorce attorney.

I won't stay for supper,

if it's all the same to you.

Excuse me.

Well, ah...

Ah, thanks.

Anyway, uh...

both of you

have been great.

L-l-I had no idea

the legal system was so deep.

Are you okay?

No, I don't think so.

Do you know what I think?

I think you two have

had a lover's tiff.

Yeah...

yeah, we did, kinda.

Yeah, well,

you gotta get over it.

You know, you were the one who said

you could get through the bad patches,

that breaking up

was the last resort.

Or something like that.

Yes, I did.

Will you give me a ride?

- Do you know the way?

- Do I know the way?

I know Ireland like

the back of my hand.

Yeah, right.

Along Giant's Pass,

through Paddy's Cross,

over the bridge,

and back to Paddy's Cross.

We're lost.

No, no, no, no, I should have

turned right earlier.

Ah, right, I'm all over it.

What time's your flight?

Hi. Did the flight

for New York leave yet?

Two minutes ago.

Did Daniel Rafferty

check in?

I'm sorry,

we're not allowed to give...

Please, please,

can you just be the guy

who breaks the rules,

just this once?

It's really important.

- Rafferty, you say?

- Yeah.

Yes, he did. Were you meant

to be with him?

Yes, I was.

When's the next flight

to New York?

Did you know

that 80% of women

who say they're too busy to have

a relationship, are really Ionely?

And are you?

I was.

You're always saying

that you have to fight

to save a marriage

and not give in, right?

Yes.

Do you really believe that?

Yes, I do...

very much.

Why?

Well...

do you want to fight?

Not only do I have to put up

with your bickering,

finger pointing, backstabbing

and name calling during the week,

now you drag me in

on the weekend too?!

Anyway, seeing as we're here,

Counselor Woods, I'd like

to ask you a question, if I may.

Do you take this man to be

your lawfully wedded husband?

Will you love him, keep him,

honor him and protect him,

and forsaking all others,

be loyal only to him?

- I will.

- I know what to say.

I'm her mother.

I will.

So will I.

Hey! Hey! I didn't

get to you yet.

- Sorry.

- What is wrong with you people?

Do you want to be the only man ever held

in contempt at his own wedding?

No, Your Honor.

Counselor Daniel Rafferty,

do you take this woman to be

your lawfully wedded wife?

Will you love her...

With the power invested in me

by the state of New York,

I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Bye.

Here you go,

for old times' sake.

Oh, wow.

How can I refuse?

You know, you folks

may want to close the sunroof.

There's a 79% chance of rain

in the next half hour.

I watch

the Weather Channel.
