Looking: The Movie Page #7

---

Okay, this is just paperwork.

We're gonna party tonight.

Yeah? Then why

am I wearing this?

Like wearing what?

You're not wearing

a wedding dress.

Maybe I should be.

And maybe we should be

getting married in a church,

giving thanks

to the great white man

in the sky for our love.

That's not what I said.

Look, we're not doing this

for other people.

We're not doing this

for our parents.

We're not doing this

for people we don't give

a f*** about.

We're doing this for us.

That's what we discussed.

Well, shouldn't my mother

at least be here?

Otherwise, why are

we doing this?

I mean, what is this?

(chuckles)

Oh, my God.

Why are we doing this at all?

Okay, can we at least

check in?

I have to toilet again,

and this time, it's not pee.

No, no, no, no, no.

Hold it in, okay?

You have a powerful sphincter.

Come on. Vamos.

All right, uh...

I'll meet you guys up there.

Jake, can we get

Mama on FaceTime?

Yes, yes, yes.

I got this.

We should man the exits.

Eddie is surprisingly fast.

He's not gonna

do that, is he?

Mm, he's had that look

in his eyes before.

I think Agustn's gonna

figure it out.

Yeah, where were you?

Uh, nowhere.

So why do you look so--

I look fine.

Sh*t, I need to pee now.

Really?

So do I.

What?

I really do.

Okay, well, you guys pee

and I'll--

I'll meet you up there.

Yeah.

All right.

Woman:

...by the state of California,

I pronounce you

partners for life.

Now, you may kiss.

(laughter)

(cheering)

That's great.

Thank you so much.

Thank you...

(laughter, applause)

(footsteps)

Oh, hello.

Sorry, I think

that we're next.

Are you, uh, Rankin

or Lanuez?

Oh, no, I'm not

getting married.

It's my friends, but, uh,

they'll just be a minute.

They're, uh...

Last-minute nerves?

(sighs)

Something like that.

Well, it's very common.

I wouldn't worry.

Those two have been

together for 45 years.

That's amazing.

Yes, it is.

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

How long have

you been doing this?

A very long time.

Some people would

say too long.

(chuckles)

And, uh...

Are you able to tell

if it's gonna work or not?

Uh, sometimes...

uh, maybe I can tell

who wants it more

than the other one.

Yeah.

Or, you know...

who's gotten real

and whose head is

still in the clouds,

who's willing or unwilling

to, um, adapt.

And...

do you really think

that people can...

change for each other?

I prefer adapt to change.

It's, uh, it's a little

more realistic.

Plus, I read somewhere

that every part of us

has something to do with

the part that came before.

Every new part is...

Does that sound corny?

It's...

Well, it works for me.

Maybe that's why we keep

making the same mistakes.

(laughs)

Probably.

How long have

you been married?

Oh, uh-- uh...

between you and me,

not married.

But your ring.

It's a prop.

Nobody wants a fat trainer

at the gym.

You know what I mean?

Okay.

You okay?

You all set?

Yes.

Lanuez?

I got her.

Oh, it's my mom!

Mother:
Oh, Agustn!

Say hi!

Hi, Mama!

Hi!

I'm sorry, I think we'll just

be one more minute.

Sure.

Okay. Thank you.

Take your time.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Is everything all right?

It is now.

What'd you say?

Let's just say he's a big

Sigourney Weaver fan,

so, thank you for that.

Oh, it's my pleasure.

That's what, uh,

maids of dishonor are for.

I just told him that

this marriage can be...

whatever we want it to be.

Yeah, exactly.

I mean, it's not like

you're just gonna

suddenly be monogamous

and move to the suburbs.

Well, no.

And then I love him,

and he loves me.

What's the worst

that can happen?

Doesn't work out,

it doesn't work out,

but at least we tried.

Yeah.

Let's f***ing do this.

Oh.

(cheers and applause)

Yeah, you got it

all done, right?

Yeah.

Great. Perfect.

And if you would just

take a look at that,

make sure we're saying

everything we want to say.

Agustn:

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

Hey, Mama.

Woman:

Edward, you have chosen

Agustn to be

your partner in life.

Will you strive to love

and respect him always,

be honest and kind,

and stand by him

whatever may come?

I do.

Agustn, you've chosen Edward

to be your partner in life.

Will you strive to love

and respect him always,

be honest and kind,

and stand by him

whatever may come?

I do. Yes.

(both chuckle)

And do you both promise to

make the necessary adjustments

in your personal

and professional lives

in order that you may

live in a harmonious

relationship together?

Both:

We do.

Inasmuch as you, Edward,

and you, Agustn,

have pledged your love

to each other

in front of these witnesses,

by the power vested d d me

by the state of California,

I pronounce you

partners in life.

Mm!

Ah!

Now you may kiss.

(laughter)

(chuckles)

Mother:
I can't believe it!

(cheers and applause)

Oh, my God.

Now what?

Uh, now we get drunk

and we take a lot

of f***ing drugs.

Sorry, Mom.

Sorry, Mom.

(laughter)

Let's do this!

Surreal!

This is crazy!

Yeah, let's do this!

(cheers and applause)

You look great!

You look so good!

Oh, my God!

(lively chattering)

Congratulations.

You guys look amazing.

Hi.

Hi.

Hey, how you doing?

Good. How are you?

Really good. Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Hey.

Hey there.

How'd it go?

It was really sweet.

What's up, Malik?

Thanks for coming, man.

I really appreciate it.

Agustn didn't freak out?

(chuckles)

Yesterday, but not today.

Uh, Eddie though,

that was a close call.

Really?

Yeah.

It's so easy to disregard...

all of this,

all this, like,

being able to

get married stuff

and what it means,

but when we were

in city hall today,

in public, in front

of total strangers...

I don't know.

In a few years, this is all

just gonna be normal.

Right? It'll just be

a way of life,

and that's great,

but wow, now for us...

and for all those people

that came before us,

you know, that actually had to

struggle against something...

just pretty f***ing

incredible, right?

It is.

And you can't help

but feel...

I don't know, validated.

Even though I know

we shouldn't need

that validation.

Because just because you feel

you shouldn't need something,

it doesn't mean you don't.

Hi, Paddycakes!

Hey!

Mm. Sorry I didn't

get you one.

That's okay.

What are we talking about?

Just... how great it is.

Them getting married.

Mm.

Champagne? Yeah?

Yeah!

Let's do this!

Whoo!

(cheering)

Hey, man, can I please

get a tequila?

Thank you.

Hey, have you seen Dom?

Uh, yeah, he's around

here somewhere.

Ugh.

I've been-- I've already--

I made a round. Oh, God.

I so know that look.

Weddings are awful,

aren't they?

They're horrible.

You have to take solace

in knowing that

it's gonna end in divorce,

guaranteed.

Malik seems to be

enjoying himself.

I know!

He's dancing

with a bunch of bears!

Oh, no, should I be worried?

Are you sure you don't want

to lock that down

with a wedding ring?

He's a total beef-cake.

Oh, God.
