Muriel's Wedding Page #6

- You're the bridesmaids?

- Isn't it fantastic?

- We always knew MarieI'd come good.

- She's in all the papers.

- What happened to you?

- I had cancer.

It's all right. They cut it out.

I won't walk again though.

- You were so full of life.

- I'm not dead, Cheryl.

Come on. We better get ready.

Mariel's coming.

You must be so happy for her.

God, she has cancer!

I'm divorcing Chook.

I suppose I have you

to thank for that.

I hope I can do the same

for you one day.

You told me it would be

a quick civil ceremony.

Ah, it's good she wanted

a church wedding. It's romantic.

It looks like you mean it.

All the guests are on her side.

I should have hired you some friends.

The charges don't surprise me.

The bastards have been out to get me

from the beginnin'.

I just wanted you to know--

Mariel, are you marrying David

for money?

Is this a marriage

of convenience, Mariel?

Mariel, how long have you and David--

Your Mum's arriving in Sydney by bus

because I can't afford a plane ticket.

- You see what you've done to me?

- Where is she now?

I don't know.

Trying to get a taxi, I suppose.

Mariel.

You're beautiful.

Love me or leave me

Make your choice, but believe me

I love you

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

I can't conceal it

Don't you see

Can't you feel it

Don't you too

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

Oh, I've been dreaming

Through my lonely past

Now I just made it

I've found you at last

So come on now

Let's try it

I love you, you can't deny it

- 'Cause it's true

- Oh, God.

- Don't panic. Think of the games.

- I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

She's all yours, mate.

Father, when You created mankind, You

willed that man and wife should be one.

- Join David and Muriel--

- Mariel.

Mariel in the loving union

of marriage...

so that they may be living witness

to Your divine love in the world.

David, do you take Mariel

to be your wife?

Do you promise to be true to her

in good times and in bad...

in sickness and in health-- to love and

honour her all the days of your life?

Uh, yeah. Okay.

All right. Why not? I do.

Mariel, do you take David

to be your husband?

Do you promise to be true to him

in good times and in bad...

in sickness and in health-- to love and

honour him all the days of your life?

I do.

You have declared your consent

before the Church.

May the Lord strengthen that consent

and fill you with His blessings.

What God has joined,

men must not divide.

Mariel, take this ring

as a sign of my, uh--

- Love and fidelity.

- Love and fidelity.

- In the name of the Father--

- In the name of the Father,

Son and the Holy Spirit.

David, I take this ring

as a sign of your love and fidelity...

in the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Congratulations.

You may kiss your bride.

Congratulations! Oh, David!

Good on you.

- Mr Heslop.

- It's Bill.

Mrs Heslop.

- Thanks.

- Mariel, congratulations.

- Thank you.

- You look lovely. Have every success.

Well done, love.

Good on you.

- How do you feel?

- He's fighting fit.

The next gold you'll see

on this hand will be the gold medal

for the 1,500 metres!

- You reckon?

- Oh, yes.

Mariel and us

have been friends for years.

We went to Hibiscus Island together.

- We're like sisters.

- She's my best friend.

- I-I tell her everything.

- Mariel! Oh, you look beautiful!

Oh, isn't she beautiful?

She is wearing the make-up,

isn't she?

Smile.

- I was tryin' to hide from you.

- I saw your wheels.

- I didn't think you'd come.

- I had to see it for myself.

Just the bridesmaids were worth it.

I didn't call them.

They came crawling back to me.

The way they picked on me

in Porpoise Spit...

saying I wouldn't amount to anything--

And here I am, famous,

and they're at my wedding.

- I showed them.

- Showed them what?

I'm as good as they are.

I have to go.

Good luck with what's his name.

Where are you going?

Where do you think?

Back to Porpoise Spit with Mum.

- We're catching the bus out tonight.

- I don't want you to.

Well, you should have thought of that

before you gave up on me.

I couldn't pay all the rent without you.

I couldn't even do the shopping.

I needed help.

I needed a friend.

I mean, I don't want you

to go back by bus.

I bought you two plane tickets.

Go to hell.

I already gave 'em to your mum.

You're right.

You are a new person, and you stink.

Mariel Van Arkle stinks!

And she's not half the person

Muriel Heslop was.

Rhonda, your mum just told us

you're moving back to Porpoise Spit.

- lt'll be just like old times.

- Don't worry about Rhonda, Mrs E.

We'll push her around.

- Are you rich?

- My parents own it.

- They didn't come to the wedding.

- No.

They paid for it.

They're in Johannesburg.

Kitchen, lounge room, gym.

You can use everything

but the weights.

Bathroom, my room.

Your room.

I'm going downstairs

for a swim.

It wasn't just the money, was it?

What kind of person

marries someone they don't know?

You did.

I want to win.

All my life I've wanted to win.

Me too.

$84.20. $84.20.

Ninety-nine cents.

Ninety, one hundred.

Thanks, Mrs Heslop.

Have a nice day.

You can see she's not right

in the head.

- Look, I'll see what I can do, Bill.

- You're a mate. I won't forget it.

I'll be in touch.

I meant to pay.

I need help--

around the house, and--

3:
00 news update.

Not comin' back.

I want a divorce.

I'm marrying Deidre.

You know what they say?

They say that I wasn't elected

to the state government that time...

because my family

wasn't up to scratch.

That's what they say.

Look at this place!

I never had a bloody chance!

Get out!

Get out and find yourself a job!

Get out, you layabout,

and stop embarrassing your father!

- You're an embarrassment!

- You're the embarrassment!

You mad b*tch!

Oh, no.

Mariel Van Arkle speaking.

- Hello?

- Muriel?

- Mariel.

- Mum's died.

- What?

- We're all at the hospital.

Dad says you have to come home.

Yeah.

The funeral's tomorrow.

Are you coming?

Russell's gonna be there.

Yeah. I invited him.

He says he's gonna bring Alan.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Mariel?

Is that you?

Not sure.

It was a heart attack.

Joanie found her.

She was lying on the bed,

looking peaceful.

She didn't suffer.

She made the ultimate sacrifice

for your father.

Judge will be lenient on him now.

He's got kids to support.

She'd be glad, in the end,

her life amounted to something.

Deidre, I finished up

in the bathroom.

You were right

about those cupboards.

Let's start on the laundry then.

It's a big job.

- What happened?

- Mum burnt it.

Why?

Because she got sick and tired

of waiting for Perry to mow it.

Hi.

What am I gonna do without her?

Her photo album.

She took pills-- sleeping pills.

They were next to her

when I found her.

And when Dr Farrell come,

they were gone.

And when I asked

what happened to 'em...

Dad said he didn't want anyone

to know.

Dr Farrell said

Dad had been through enough.
