My First Wedding Page #7

Synopsis: In "My First Wedding" ("Mi primera boda"), Jewish-born Adrián and Catholic-born Leonora have finally reached their wedding day. Instead of gracefully embracing matrimony, Adrián spends the hours leading up to the ceremony trying to postpone it, not because he's got cold feet (or does he?), but because he's clumsily lost both his and his bride-to-be's sacred wedding rings. Disaster ensues in director Ariel Winograd's winning comedy about the politics of the proverbial "Big Day."

himself from the balcony...

dressed as Superman.

He was in a cast

for three months.

Good tip. They should add it

to the prenuptial analysis.

Good tip. They should add it

Luckily, the apartment

is in your name, Ral.

Remember this:
in two years,

they will be filing for a divorce.

-This marriage won't last.

-Stop it, Raquel.

I'm tired of you.

I've been sick and tired of you

for the last 40 years!

You're always complaining

and in a bad mood.

You're always complaining

and in a bad mood.

You're not at peace

even at you son's wedding.

How dare you speak to me like that?

Do you remember who I am?

Yes. I do.

I'm sorry.

Fede!

-Hello, Leonora.

-What are you doing?

Nothing, I'm drinking champagne.

I saw you looking

through that purse.

Are you kleptomaniac?

No. I mean,

I think I'm not.

There was a Chinese guy outside.

I saw a Chinese guy.

There was a Chinese guy outside.

I saw a Chinese guy.

Listen to me, Fede.

I'm not going to play your games.

Tell me where Adrin is.

I don't know.

Adrin. Are you there?

Leo is that you?

Yes... it's me. Can you tell me

where you are?

Yes... it's me. Can you tell me

where you are?

-Is there something wrong, Leo?

-Well, yes.

I've found your cell phone

in the ladies room.

And that's how I found out that

you diverted the chauffeur.

And I've also just found out

my wedding cake destroyed.

Can I ask you what's going on?

Can I ask you what's going on?

Le-- I can't list--

I have no batt--

-Adrin?

-Let's talk lat--

He doesn't know who

he's messing with.

He doesn't know who

he's messing with.

Hello, Adri.

Hello, Mica.

-How are you?

-Is there something wrong?

No.

Can I help you?

No... it's too complicated.

It's just that I'm an a**hole... Mica.

That's the problem.

I'm an a**hole.

I'm an a**hole.

Things are not going well.

Every-thing's a mess.

What's wrong?

I'm going to be a widow

before I get married.

Oh, boy.

You've heard me say

this too many times.

In marriage... couples try

to solve a problem...

they wouldn't have

if they were living alone.

ngel, I'm not in the mood

for your cynicism.

I understand. What happened?

It's Adrin. I don't know

what's wrong with him.

He comes and goes,

he lies to me...

he diverted the chauffeur. It seems

he doesn't want to get married.

And you?

What?

Do you want to get married?

Do you want to get married?

No, I invented all this

to play pool with you.

Haven't we agreed to leave

cynicism aside?

What you're asking

makes no sense.

It does. If you

don't answer that to me...

you'll have to answer it

to the rabbi or the priest.

When they ask me,

I'll think about it.

Alright. Let's talk

about your doubts.

Alright. Let's talk

about your doubts.

No.

I'm not in your class.

Leo... I know you

better than anyone.

And I know you're not sure

of what you're doing.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Come here.

And you did all that for her?

And you did all that for her?

Either you love her very much

or you are afraid of her.

A little bit of both.

I hope one day someone does for me

half the things you did for her.

Someone will do it, Mica.

I can help you.

I can help you.

I'll ask my mother

for her wedding ring.

When you settle this,

you'll give it back.

She won't mind.

But...

It's a wedding ring.

They are all the same thing.

Yes. The thing is that

if Leonora puts it on...

Yes. The thing is that

if Leonora puts it on...

she won't want to take it off.

I would have to take it off

while she's asleep.

-Leonora is a very light sleeper.

-Adri.

No big deal. Don't worry.

Thank you, Mica. Thank you.

-Hey... what was that?

-Thank you.

-Hey... what was that?

-Thank you.

Everything's fine, but we

shouldn't touch each other.

If we touch other,

we'll get confused.

And I prefer to avoid

any confusion.

That's fine, Mica.

I have just now started

a relationship with someone.

I'm starting.

It was very difficult to me.

He wants to make it official,

and I don't.

I came to see you.

I came to see you.

And if we touch each other

and we get confused...

-I can't carry on.

-OK.

-I know that we're apart now...

-OK, Mica, get me the f***ing ring.

OK.

I know that you don't believe

a word I say, Leo.

But I'd like to help you.

I've found this in the garden.

This might partially explain

your boyfriend's behavior.

She's crazy. She's mad.

-Who?

-Leonora.

She wants to kill us.

She brandished a knife at me.

Listen to me.

Did you destroy the wedding cake?

-No.

-You couldn't be more stupid.

-No.

-You couldn't be more stupid.

But it wasn't me.

I need you to go see Leonora..

tell her that you're sorry...

and distract her for five minutes.

I have a new plan.

She doesn't want to see me.

Just five minutes, Fede.

OK.

Alright.

Oh, yes, right now.

I can't believe it.

-He's an a**hole.

-Yes, he's an idiot.

He ruined my wedding.

Yes... he did wrong.

He truly did.

Yes... he did wrong.

He truly did.

-He's a son of a b*tch.

-OK, he's my cousin.

But don't worry.

Everything will be alright.

You look beautiful.

Every-thing's perfect.

You thought it went down

the pipes.

That's a good place.

That's a good place.

What? No! Leo!

Adrin!

Leonora knows everything.

She had the ring.

I don't know how she got it.

She's gone.

I don't know how she got it.

She's gone.

I make a good impression

of your Pope.

"Brothers and sisters,

God's ways are unfathomable!"

-You see? I was good.

-That's nice.

-You see? I was good.

-That's nice.

Guys, He would probably

listen to you.

Ask Him to give us a sign.

What's that?

God's ways are unfathomable!

Can we talk?

Leo?

Leo. can we talk?

Can I explain the situation?

Leo?

Can I please explain?

Leo?

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Why?

Why did you ruin our wedding?

Why did you destroy

the wedding cake?

That wasn't me.

You lied to me all day long.

You lied to me all day long.

You made me look like

a fool in front of everybody.

What do you want to explain?

That I don't know the person

that am I going to marry?

I'm sorry, Leo.

I'm sorry for everything.

That's not enough. I want to know

why you did all this.

That's not enough. I want to know

why you did all this.

Leo, I thought you would get

mad if I told you...

-that I've lost the ring.

-Why would I get mad?

-Because you always get mad.

-That's a lie!

It's not a lie.

Everything I do is wrong, Leo.

I never live up to your expectations.

I know you don't mean it...

but sometimes you put me down.

As if you were ashamed of me.

-Now you're the victim.

-I'm not.

What are you trying to say?

What are you trying to say?

Nothing...

I feel like I'm always taking an exam.

And I never pass.

I wake up every day thinking:

"Today's the day,"

"Today she'll find out,"

"Today she'll find out that

I'm not Prince Charming...

that I'm just a frog,"

that I'm just a frog,"

I've already found that out.
