Love, Wedding, Marriage Page #6

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.

A night out with the boys.

- Yeah.

I got to tell you,

you got to leave the old ball

and chain at home sometimes.

Although I can't complain.

I love being married.

I have never had this much sex

in my life.

No, forget trolling bars

to get laid.

Get married.

Hello.

- You don't have sex

all the time.

- Oh, yeah.

Whenever I want.

Every which way.

- I miss my wife.

- Aw.

- Look, Bradley, I'm sure

you guys will work it out,

and if you don't...

- Yeah, be a man.

Bradley, there are plenty

of other chicks in the sea.

Eastern Europe is teeming

with beautiful young women

just dying to marry

a rich American.

- Let's not get ahead

of ourselves here, Gerber.

- 60 is the new 30.

I saw you over

at the karaoke machine,

ripping it up,

going to work.

[Tarzan yell]

Dude, Slavic hotties will be

all over your Johnson.

Yeah, they will be lining up

for a man with your experience.

- You think?

- Absolutely.

- Bet you find

a nice Jewish girl.

Uh-oh.

- Wouldn't Betty just love that?

- Oh, I know the perfect place

to celebrate your

newly anointed single status.

- Where?

- Got any dollar bills on you?

- Ah!

Let's have shots for everybody.

- We are gonna put

some b*obs on your face.

Okay?

- Okay, just this one time.

Yes.

- Booby in your eye.

- I know the separation's

hard on you, Ava,

so I really appreciate

your show of support.

I should be netting the web

in no time at all.

- I just figured if you're gonna

be gone for six months,

you need to be

internet and email savvy.

Now we can keep in touch.

- Well, I must admit,

I am a little nervous.

- You are?

- Well, it's been a long time

since I did anything

this exciting or brave.

I can't remember

the last time I did anything

without your father.

- Or you could do this with him.

- Dad travel?

He has a hard time

going to the mailbox.

- [Laughs]

I just know he's devastated

without you.

[Bluesy rock music playing]

- [Slurping]

- Chase it!

- Yeah!

- Oh!

Who's next?

- Oh, my God!

- Here's Bradley!

- Aren't you just a little sad

that your marriage is over?

- Well, of course I am, Ava,

but your father's incapable

of change or even compromise.

And I refuse to be unfulfilled

any longer.

- Why didn't you say anything

before?

- I suppose I was

too busy worrying

about everyone else's needs

to think about my own.

[Indistinct chatter]

Doesn't that sound like...

[loud thud]

What?

- I'm all right.

I'm okay.

No problem.

Oh, you know, Charlie,

you're my bestest,

favoritest son-in-law ever.

- Really?

'Cause you're, like,

my very favorite

most father-in-law ever.

- Oh, come on,

give me a hug.

- Bradley Gold.

- Did you hear that?

That sounded like my wife,

except I don't have one anymore.

[Laughter]

- Exactly what did you have

to drink tonight?

- I don't know, but I'm sure

wasn't Manischewitz.

[Laughter]

- You should be ashamed

of yourself.

- What?

- What the hell

is wrong with you?

- How was I supposed to know

your mom would be here?

- I told you I was gonna try

to get the two of them together.

This is your idea of helping?

- You told me to cheer him up.

Trust me,

tonight he was so happy.

- Please tell me you did not

take my father Hot Chicks Live.

- We didn't go

to Hot Chicks Live.

Gerber's way too cheap

for Hot Chicks Live.

- Gerber was with you?

I hope you took a cab.

- I guess chauffer duties were

in their marriage arrangements,

'cause Gerber's wife

drove us home.

And she's great,

and they're having sex...

great Polish sex,

whatever that means...

whenever he wants.

- Show up at your daughter's

house this time of night,

drunk as a skunk.

I mean, what do you have

to say for yourself?

- [Burps]

- [Snickers]

- Thank you, Bradley,

for validating a very difficult

life-altering decision

I've just made.

I now know

absolutely for certain

that leaving you is the smartest

thing I've ever done.

- Mom, you don't mean that.

- Yeah.

- Do you know that I dis...

I discovered tonight

at this strip club?

- No, please enlighten me.

- I thought you said you didn't

take him to a strip club.

- No, I said I didn't take him

to Hot Chicks Live.

- I learned that there are women

in this world who want me.

- Oh, they don't want you,

you idiot.

They want your dollar bills.

- You know,

there's a nation in Europe

that has a lot

of pretty Russian Jews

who want to have sex with me.

- And time for bed.

- Too bad that you don't have

the balls

to fly out there and meet them.

- Well, then I'll just have

to ship them in.

- [Screams]

- Mazel tov.

- Oh!

I squished my fish.

Oh, no.

- Dude, did you say you were

gonna ship your balls?

- Poor Malcolm.

- This is what I'll be missing?

- Mom, please.

- Hey, Bradley, when I'm

cavorting naked on a Fiji beach

with my Polynesian Adonis,

I shall try to remember

to send you a postcard.

[Door slams]

- Oh...

I think that went well.

- I...

- "I" what?

- I love you.

- Do you realize

that what you did tonight

brought my parents

closer than ever to divorce?

- What I did?

I was just trying

to cheer him up.

I was helping you.

But if you hadn't tried

to interfere tonight,

none of this would have happened

in the first place.

- Charlie, my parents

are getting divorced.

I have real problems.

- You know, maybe we should stop

focusing on your parents...

Nice shelves.

And start focusing on us.

- Uh, what's that supposed

to mean?

- Well, for one thing,

it's been a little difficult

to have sex

with your dad staying here.

- Oh, I'm surprised you noticed.

You've been so busy

texting with Adrianna.

Work must be crazy.

- You're the one

who's too distracted

with everyone else's problems

to even have sex

with your own husband.

- [Sighs]

It's not been that long

since we've had sex,

and I've been busy.

- Well, you're not

doing anything right now.

- Ugh, Charlie,

if you think I'm gonna

sleep with you right now,

you're even more drunk

than I thought.

Oh!

Is it really too much to ask

to replace

the toilet paper roll?

Is it really that difficult?

What is it?

A genetic predisposition

to measure your shits

against the amount

of toilet paper left?

Oh!

And just so you know,

I did not fall in love with you

again today.

[Tranquil instrumental music]

- Morning, beautiful.

I made your favorite.

Black coffee,

two sugars.

Wheat toast with mayo.

Truce?

- Truce.

I have to cancel

the surprise party.

- You can't save

every marriage, Ava.

- I feel like such a failure.

- Promise me

you're done intervening.

- I have no other choice.

- Promise?

Meet me tonight for dinner?

- Mm-hmm.

I can tell that some

positive changes

have taken place

since our last session.

What's going on?

- When we left here, I began

to make that list you suggested.

I dug really deep,

and I realized the main reason

I was attracted to Courtney

was because her family was rich.

- Perhaps you were looking

to Courtney

to provide emotional security.
