My Favorite Wedding Page #6

Ah, so...

go say hi!

Hmm? No, no, no.

Well, he's having dessert,

you know, so...

Uh-huh.

Okay, so, if you get

the fellowship,

does that mean you're

moving to Chicago?

Oh, um,

I don't know.

It's complicated.

Ah, the boyfriend

doesn't like Chicago.

Oh, you just think

you have everyone's number,

don't you?

Yeah.

I can't help it.

After years and years

of patterns,

they just start to form.

Like, for example...

See those two

right there?

Yeah?

He just met

Jack's cousin.

and she really

likes him,

but she doesn't know

how he feels about her.

Well, how does

he feel about her?

Well... I know

it looks like he's wondering

if his kebabs are overcooked,

right?

But...

he likes her.

He likes her a lot.

Wow!

Yeah.

Good work.

I'm impressed.

Thanks.

Yeah, you know,

in my line,

you get so you

can just glance

and understand

people's love-lives.

All right...

all right.

You're using

your professional skills.

I'm going to use mine.

The patient's

acute cynicism

suggests a build-up

of antibodies to weddings,

perhaps from

a prior trauma?

Oh, wait,

let me guess...

commitment-phobic?

No. I mean, yes...

Okay, a couple--

two or three years ago,

I was engaged...

Emily...

and I just went

with the flow,

sunk a ton of money

into a big wedding

that she wanted.

You know,

the whole hoopla...

the string quartet,

and the... doves.

[laughs] You?

Did not see that one coming.

Yeah, I was all in,

everything but the

break-dancing bears.

Oh.

Then, three months

before our wedding,

she met somebody else, and...

at a wedding, ironically.

Ouch.

Yeah, and then,

you know,

the jewelry store today...

No! Don't tell me...

That's not

where you got the ring!

And where

I returned it.

Oh, Michael...

Wow.

I'm really sorry.

It's in the past.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah! Hey.

To Jack and Amber.

To Jack and Amber.

The last two skewers.

You know, I actually studied

to practice environmental law.

So, why divorce law?

I just kind of fell into it.

I took a couple cases

at the beginning,

and turned out

I was really good at it.

You know, we both work

in fields that involve pain.

My specialty is making it

quick and painless,

but I'd like

to switch fields some day.

So why don't you

put out some feelers

to law firms you actually

want to work with?

You know, you could...

Tess, stop.

I am the one person

that doesn't need your help.

I'm fine.

Well, this is me.

I'll see you tomorrow,

and thanks for dinner.

It was...

Interesting?

Exactly.

Good night.

Good night.

And good luck

with bridesmaids' yoga.

Be strong.

And we greet the morning...

as we complete

our sun salutations,

moving into Warrior I,

welcoming peace.

[Amber]:

Tess? Tess!

Are you sure

I did the seating plan okay?

Yes!

There's not

too many strangers

sitting together

at each table?

No.

No, you're good.

I checked.

And reaching for the earth...

embracing

a calming inner light.

So this missing

boyfriend of yours,

what's his deal anyway?

Focus, please?

And back to center,

placing the elbow

on the knee and twist.

And how long have you

been going out for?

Almost two years.

And he still didn't

come with you?

I'll tell you

why he isn't here.

He's afraid

he's going to have to put

a ring on that finger!

It is not that at all!

[Instructor]:

Ladies!

Shh!

You have to turn

the screws, honey!

That's how I got

Henry to propose.

Hey, Tess!

[Tess]:
Michael?

What are you doing?

Come with me

if you want to live.

Namaste.

That does not

seem relaxing.

Most tense yoga session ever,

actually.

The Dalai Lama

would not have approved.

Why do girls talk like that

when they're working out?

Guys just work out

when they're working out.

Anyway, forget about

all that and hurry,

or we're going to be

late for our tee time.

What?

I'm not playing golf.

Sure you are...

with them.

[gasps]

What?

Yeah, I ran into them

this morning at the Pro Shop,

and since they were

looking for a foursome,

and you wanted

to meet Dr. Hastings...

What... are you doing?

I'm helping you

help yourself.

I've got to go change!

Okay.

I'll get the cart.

Dr. Hastings?

Dr. Harper.

When they were kids,

Tess here used

to perform surgery

on Amber's broken dolls.

And from what I hear,

Tess's golf game is as good

as her bedside manner.

Dr. Hastings,

in full disclosure,

I'm a finalist

for the fellowship

at Northwestern.

Perfect.

We can enjoy

our golf game

and talk about anything

besides work!

Bedside manner?

I should have said

bedside manner first,

then golf game after.

I don't know

if bedside manner needed

to be included at all.

I know.

[Dr. Hastings]:

So for my money,

the best steak in Chicago,

Benny's Chop House,

hands down.

Oh, I'll be sure

to check it out.

[phone chimes]

Ah!

The bride has a question.

I'm sure it can wait.

Devoted to golf.

I respect that.

Yeah,

except I think this wedding

is making me lose my mind.

[phone chimes]

Oh...

terrific.

Wedding planner

says I still owe her five grand.

[pants]

No matter!

[phone rings]

[pants, short of breath]

Yes, dear?

Fine.

I'm sure if they

don't have posies,

then mums are fine.

How much extra?

Uh-uh.

No. Fine.

Yep...

You know, I thought

this wedding would be

a simple get-together,

but now there's harpists...

there's a cheese sommelier...

there's more food

than an army needs.

There's a charging station

by the sangria bar.

I mean, this isn't a wedding,

it's a... it's a...

it's a runaway train.

Mr. Tilton!

[Dr. Hastings]:

Henry?

Oh, oh, oh, okay.

Michael, will you get the cart

and some water, please?

Yep, on it.

[Tess]:
Take some

deep breaths, okay?

Do you feel dizzy or cold?

- No.

- Okay, just breathe.

I'm okay now.

[Tess]:
Yeah, I think

it was just a mild panic attack

and maybe a little dehydration.

You know,

I'd really, really like

to get you out of the sun

and rehydrated...

thank you...

and up to the clubhouse.

Do you think

you can get up okay?

That sounds like a good idea.

Listen, all of you,

you play on, okay?

Sorry, sir,

not a chance, no, no.

I need to re-check

your vitals inside.

Here...

here, actually,

I'll take this for you.

I think we've had

enough excitement

for one day, yeah?

[exhales]

Just breathe.

Thank you.

Good work out there.

Good bedside manner.

Thank you for the assist.

Look out, watch your head.

Okay. Ready?

Clear?

You're clear, yeah.

Go ahead.

Not on the green!

You guys are going to love

the dance lesson.

Oh, are we?

- Uh...

- Yep.

You were pretty great

out there,

and I think Dr. Hastings

took notice.

That was a nasty

trick you played,

surprising me

with golf...

and a nice one.

Uh, Jack?

Honey, let's start.

Ooh, yeah, actually,

I'm going to have

to sit this one out.

What? Why?

Hmm? Oh, I...

I did something

to my hamstring

playing golf today.

Oh, you know,

dancing might help stretch

that hamstring out.

You sure?
