Love, Wedding, Marriage Page #3

Synopsis: Handsome, romantic, sexy gentile Charlie enjoys his honeymoon with liberal-Jewish marriage counselor Ava. It's cut short when her parents Bradley and Betty, who always seemed the perfect couple, suddenly border on divorce over an old affair and poorly matched expectations. Worse, in turn they invite themselves to move in and drive the newly-weds crazy. Ethics prevent Ava from taking them on as clients and the colleagues she refers to prove hopelessly inept. Meanwhile Charlie's impulsive buddy Gerber, the eternal bachelor party animal, has married Polish green-card-chaser Kasia.

What's with all the candles?

- Dad's being Jewish.

- So this is what it's like

to be Jewish.

- Mom agreed to go see

a marriage counselor.

- She did?

- I could set you up

with a fantastic therapist.

- You think that would help?

- I think I want to be Jewish.

- What?

- What?

- You're getting a pony.

I want a bat mitzvah.

[Playful instrumental music]

[door clicks open]

- Oh, don't make

any sudden movements.

- Don't hate me...

- Okay, knock if off,

you two.

[Laughs]

Hi.

I'm just kidding.

- Dad, why don't you go get

settled up in the guest room?

- Oh, yeah, thanks, honey.

It'll be fun to have

some company.

Huh?

[Chuckles]

- Ava?

- I went over to go see my dad,

and he was all alone

in the dark.

He's so depressed.

- Is he moving in?

- Only for a couple days.

- Your father

cannot live here, Ava.

- [Sighs]

It's only temporary.

- Yeah?

Then why did he bring

his goldfish?

- Couldn't get him to leave

without Malcolm.

- Malcolm?

Really?

We're supposed to make

decisions like this together.

- Please.

Please.

- Okay.

But just for a few days.

[Knock at door]

Gerber.

- Hey.

- What are you doing here?

- Oh, buddy.

Where's Ava?

Hey.

- Hi.

- There's someone

I'd like you to meet.

Guys, this is Kasha.

- Nice to meet you.

- My wife.

- What?

- Huh?

- My wife.

I finally pulled the trigger.

- When?

- Today.

Charlie, you were right.

You know the moment

you meet your wife.

- Congratulations.

Ah!

Oh, my gosh.

- I didn't even know

you were dating.

- Buddy.

- You move fast.

- Well, I had to.

Her visa's up in a week.

If I'd let her go back

behind the iron curtain,

I might never have seen

my little Polish princess

ever again.

- There's no iron curtain

anymore, Gerber.

- Yeah, tell that

to immigration.

- So... where did you meet?

- Oh, thank you.

- You are ridiculously cute.

She's still working

on her English.

- How did you meet her?

- Well, last night,

I went to a bar,

and I ordered a shot of vodka...

- Vodka?

- Vodka.

In Charlie's honor.

- My honor?

- For a fallen comrade.

- But you don't even

drink vodka.

- I know.

That's the most amazing part.

It was handed to me

by this Slavic goddess,

and at that moment, I knew.

It was fate.

- Gerber, that is so romantic.

Welcome to our country.

[Laughter]

- Oh, thank you!

- Her English is great.

- Oh...

We got you a wedding present!

Uh-oh.

Look what happened.

- Thanks, Gerber.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- It was nothing.

Besides, us married folk

should stick together.

- I hate Gerber.

- Doesn't he know

we have to wake up early?

- He promised

this was their last song.

- # We've been together

since way back when #

# Sometimes I never want to see

you again, girl #

Come on.

- # But I want you to go...

know #

- What do you want me to know?

- # After all these years #

- Yeah, sing it, girl.

- # You're still the one #

# I want whisper in my ear #

all:

# You're still the one #

- # I want to talk to in bed #

all:

# You're still the one #

- # That turns my head #

all:

# We're still having fun #

# And you're still the one #

- # I look at your face

every day #

- I can't take this anymore.

- Thank God.

Let's take the party upstairs,

please.

- Ava!

Ava, you got to try this.

I mean, you push a button,

and the music comes out,

and words, like, pop up

on the screen and...

- # Deep in the desert #

# I longed for the snow #

both:

# Still the one #

- # That makes me laugh #

both:

# You're still the one #

- # My better half #

[gentle instrumental music]

- Hey, babe.

Come see me at the winery.

We'll have lunch

at the vineyard cafe.

- Charlie, Ava's here

in the vineyard garden.

- He loves you.

- I wasn't doing that.

It's just a nervous habit.

- Right.

- I'm meeting the caterer here

in an hour to discuss the party.

- You aren't canceling

the party?

- No.

It's in three weeks.

They're gonna be

back together by then.

- I have total faith in you,

babe,

but you may want to consider

the possibility

that they don't

get back together.

- What kind of marriage

counselor would I be

if I took that approach?

Besides, my horoscope today

said that I can achieve

whatever I set my mind to.

- Here it is.

- Thanks, Adrianna.

- Charlie, your interview

with Wine magazine

is confirmed for 3:00.

Hi, Ava.

- Hi.

- I had a great time

at the wedding.

You looked very pretty.

- Thank you.

- So I had this made

for us.

- What?

- It's a belated

wedding present.

- Wow.

Okay.

- Our own vintage.

We'll open it

on our tenth anniversary,

and, like our marriage,

it will only improve with age.

- This was so sweet of you.

- It was, wasn't it?

- Come here.

Thank you.

- [Smooches]

- Charlie.

My dad's staying

in the next room.

[Breathing heavily]

[Tapping]

- Ah, come on.

Come on.

[Tapping]

[Pounding]

Bradley.

- Oh, morning, Charlie.

Yeah.

Oh, I didn't wake you, did I?

- Oh, no.

I was up.

- Dad, what are you doing?

- Putting up a mezuzah.

You didn't have one.

- We're not Jewish.

- It's crooked.

- Yeah, well, it doesn't hurt

to have a little blessing

on your home.

I thought Charlie could use

some help with those pictures.

- Uh, that really

wasn't necessary,

and I prefer to do that type

of thing on my own,

and I'm actually quite obsessed

with my paintings and...

- But it was very thoughtful

of you to want to help.

- [Laughs]

- Oh, and, Dad, don't forget,

you and Mom have a meeting

with the therapist tonight.

I've heard great things

about him.

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna make some coffee.

Bradley, do you want some?

- Is it kosher?

- I have no idea.

- Then I'll pass.

- I can't imagine

why she left.

[Mischievous instrumental music]

- Betty.

Bradley.

Entrez.

There's an exercise

I like to do

with all my patients

before they sit down,

Sort of a ritual.

So start out by taking

short, quick breaths

through the nose,

like this.

[Snorting]

[All snorting]

Now I want you to shake out

your body, like this.

Then hop up and down like this.

This is wonderful

for igniting your chakra energy.

Hop, hop, hop.

- More like

ignite your sphincter.

- [Snorting]

- Shake out.

Shake out.

- Who's that?

- Adrianna.

I swear, if Gerber's not here

in the next five minutes,

we're ordering without him.

What's that?

- It's a Polish phrase book.

I though it might help us get

to know Kasha a little better.

- Yeah?

What's Polish for "green card"?

- Don't be so cynical.

They're in love.

- They don't even speak

the same language.

- Did you know there are

five love languages?

Not all of them are verbal.

- Seriously?

You're the one saying

that marriage takes work,

commitment...

- But the falling-in-love stage

is the best part.

- Wow.

I guess the honeymoon is over.

- Baby, I fall in love with you

all over again every day.

- Hi.

Sorry we're late.

- Okay.

- Mwah, mwah.

- Oh.

- Three.

- Three times.

- Thank you.

- Ha-ha!

Ha-ha!

Wonderful, you two.
