where you had to get married|and have kids,
and have it all figured out|by the time you were 21.
- Exactly.|- We have options now.
And I've always liked|having my options, you know?
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.|Yeah.
This is so... big.
What am I...|what am I doing?
I love Kevin.
I want to spend the rest|of my life with him.
Oh my God!|I'm getting married!
Ruby!
Ruby, I need a bottle of champagne.|We're going to celebrate.
May I have the key|to the liquor cabinet please?
What key?
The key, Ruby.
Key?|There's no key.
Ruby, give me the key.
You want to take this|outside?
Bring me the key.
And fix your hair.
You look like|a damned cockatoo.
She is such|a fabulous assistant.
Hey, do you think|your mother liked me?
Of course. Why?
I don't know, because she called me|a pregnant lesbian?
I'm sure she meant that|as a compliment.
Trust me.|She loved you.
Oh, they're gone?
I'll just put this baby|back to bed, okay?
My son|the brilliant surgeon
Gonna need something|stronger than this.
Where's that martini?
Hooch will not solve|your problems.
It is so clear.
She's got no money,|no career goals.
She was just waiting|for a rich innocent
to step right|in her path.
Oh, Kevin's|smarter than that.
Come on,|you raised him well.
He's a good boy.
But he's a man.|That's the problem.
The only time they think straight|is when they have an erection,
and it's usually pointed|right at the trampiest woman.
You talking about|her or you?
Look, there's nothing|you can do.
Just let it go.
You know what you need?|A project.
Or another husband.
You know, why don't you|marry another gay guy?
That was fun.
You know, you're right.
I do need a project.
And I have|the perfect one.
I am going|to save my son.
Here.
- What?|- You go use those old contacts of yours
to get all the information you can|about that little pimp.
And exactly what do you|expect to find?
Everybody's got|a past, honey.
Find something.
And I'm going to open up|the Montecito house
and get a party planner.
I'm going to give them|an engagement party.
And then what?|Lock her in the basement?
When he sees how out of place|she is in his world,
it's gonna be over.
This will end badly.
Get me another one|of those.
# Ooh-ohh #
# I just want to|get down with you #
# Eh! #
# I just want|to get close to you #
# Ooh-ohh #
# I just need to go|farther... #
Is it me, or is each house|you take me to bigger than the last?
But I thought your mom|said this was a barbecue.
Oh my God. It looks like she's invited|everyone I've ever known.
And they're all|in black tie.
Oh, there's my mom.|Mom!
Darlings!|How was the trip?
- Welcome.|- I'm sorry.
- I didn't know this was a formal party.|- Well, that's because
I have something for you.|I bought you a new dress.
Oh, see?|There's a dress upstairs.
- Thank you.|- Besides, you look great in anything.
Exactly. You always look|so clean and shiny.
Oh, Kevin, your tuxedo|is upstairs in your room.
But first I want you to meet|some friends. Come.
- Prince Amir.|- Can I change first?
- This is Sarah. Kevin.|- You know Kevin.
And this is Charlie.|She's a temp.
Charlie, this is the man that introduced the|euro to the global market.
- Mr. Prime Minister.|- Viola.
Oh, Marie. You know my son,|but this is Charlie.
- Very good to meet you.|- So nice to meet you.
- She's a temp.|- Yeah.
I worked in a bank once.
Oh, look! There's|the Poet Laureate and...
oh, Charlie, first I want you to meet|the Secretary of Commerce.
Viola, please let me|change first.
I don't want to meet her|in my flip-flops.
Of course, of course. Ruby, would|you show Charlie to the guest room?
- Come on, Charlie.|- Thank you. Thank you.
Wow!
Oh my...
it's vintage.
Oh, Fiona.
- You look stunning.|- Thank you. So do you.
My goodness.
Kevin just went up|to his old room.
- Why don't you go say hello to him?|- I'd love to.
Good girl.
Fiona, what are you doing here?|I'm dressing.
Why don't you let me give you|a hand with that?
Give it up, Fiona.
You know, you and I had|a very strong bond once.
No, you and I had|very strong drinks once.
That's not true.
Kiss me. I'll remind you|how good it was.
What are you doing?
I'm engaged.|I'm happy.
It's gonna fit!
Why did she get me|such a small dress?
I have two asses.
It'll fit.|There we go.
Okay.
Okay! Okay!
What is it about her|that's so special?
I don't know but I plan on spending|the rest of my life finding out.
Kevin!
God! Men in love|are really hot.
Fiona!
Oops! Um...
I was just giving Kevin|a congratulatory kiss.
Don't, uh, worry.
Why would I worry?|He's gay, right?
Charlie!
Charlie, that was not|what it looked like.
I'm going home.
I've destroyed|priceless couture.
I embarrassed myself|in front of 70% of the world's royalty.
Oh! I forgot, yeah!
I just caught you making out|with your ex-girlfriend.
Charlie, let me explain.
Ugh!|It doesn't matter.
I can't do this.
I don't belong here,|Kevin.
And if I don't belong here|then maybe we don't...
Hey hey hey.|Listen to me.
It's you and me now.
This isn't my world anymore.
You're my world.
Okay?
Now let's get the hell out of here.|I'm taking you home.
Okay.
Um...
Let me try and get out|of this dress and then...
Okay, see you|downstairs.
# There's a million miles|to go #
# There's a million miles|to go #
# Till our happiness lives. #
Do you like it?
Yeah, it's great.
I'm so glad you|finally decided to do it.
I don't know. I just woke up today|and it just felt like home.
You know, I think it's time|to take a break.
Oh, wait!
- Wait a minute.|- Whoo whoo whoo!
I can't let it dry|too much.
Oh God!
Are we getting out of bed|today, "Camille"?
What for?
I could die|and nobody would care.
I would.
You promised me|a face-lift.
Sit down, Ruby.|Sit with me, hold my hand.
Have you got anything|on the girl yet?
Nothing. Nada.
No criminal record.|No debt.
Good grades. Went to design school.|And then a string of odd jobs.
Isn't that exactly what|somebody with a past does?
What about drugs?|What about promiscuity?
She's had fewer lovers|in her entire life
than you did|at closing day of Woodstock.
Well, find something.
Well, I guess if I had|a hair sample maybe I could take it
- to my little crime lab and...|- Perfect.
I'll get to work on it.
Listen to me.|There is nothing.
Has it ever occurred to you|that maybe she's a good girl?
Oh, don't joke.
I would like to speak to that woman|who got back from the loony bin.
Is she around?
Because you are taking me|for a spin in the crazy mobile.
Ruby, Ruby.
Everybody knows that when|a woman marries a man
she marries his mother|too, right?
What if I drive her crazy?
Okay, now you're|foaming at the mouth.
Oh!
Charlie and Kevin's house.
Oh, I forgot you live there.
I didn't realize that you|had already moved in.
Kevin, stop it. I'm on the phone|with your mother! I'm sorry, Viola.
