- No, it's not about the wedding.

Babe,

I'm talking about the rest of our lives.

I don't have a career, any goals.

(stammers)

Maybe I'm not husband material.

Is this about my dad?

I mean, baby,

since when do you care what he thinks?

I know, but, baby, it's not just your dad,

it's everybody down there

thinks you're making a big mistake.

And I think they're right.

I feel like such a fool.

It's not about you.

Of course it's about me!

Oh, God, I had faith in you, Rob.

I sat here, patiently waiting,

waiting for you to to come around!

I defended you to everyone

who said that you would never grow up

and that you would never get it together!

Don't you understand?

I should have known.

I should have known

when you missed our flight

to buy a lotto ticket.

In marriage,

you have to be in it to win it, Rob.

You were never in it, ever!

Megan, I really do love you. I...

Just not enough to pull through

when it counts the most.

Just... please go.

Just leave. Leave!

I don't want you to see me cry.

I don't care which one! Just go.

Just go.

Just go.

- (elevator bell dings)

- Bye-bye...

(man) Finally!

- (man) No. No. No. No.

- (man 2) Wait a minute.

(camera shutter clicks)

(Rob sighs)

And I grabbed him by the throat

just like that.

- Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me. I'm sorry, man.

- Come on.

Sorry. Forgive me.

I need love, love

To ease my mind

I need to find, find

Someone to call mine

But Mama said you can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait

She said love don't come easy

It's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love...

- (crashes)

- (screams)

She said just...

- No.

- (elevator bell dings)

- I just want to see tomorrow!

- (elevator bell dings)

I'm in the elevator. (cackles)

No, love, love don't come easy...

No!

Finally! (laughs)

Screw it, I've been waiting 20 minutes.

Hey!

To hold me tight

I keep waiting

I keep on waiting

But it ain't easy

It ain't easy

But Mama said you can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait

She said just give it time

No matter how long it takes

You can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait

She said love don't come...

No, I'm meeting with Jameson on Monday.

He controls the final shares.

No, Swope has no clue. He's too focused

on this tragedy they call a wedding.

Look, if I was this poor Anderson guy,

I'd get as far away from him as possible.

(elevator bell dings)

So how do you guys make it work?

Our partnership's like a marriage.

When the sh*t gets thick,

I know he's got my six.

I'd take a bullet for this guy.

In fact, I did.

Got shot right in the balls.

Ew.

- Lost my left testicle.

- Yeah, that's why I'd never abandon Mike.

He's my "ride or die b*tch."

Hell yeah.

- You are.

- You are.

- No, you are.

- You are.

(elevator bell dings)

Ashamed of yourself

Self

(vocalizing)

Hey, Brian, let me ask you something.

Does it bother you

that you hold the record

for the most Grammy nominations

without a win?

Does it bother you

that you can't get to your wedding

because you have to repeat

the same hour over and over?

Touch.

The point is,

if you want something bad enough,

you can never give up.

(elevator bell dings)

Hey, Ma.

Robbie! Boy, what are you doing here?

The question is,

what are you doing here, huh?

- Aren't you supposed to be at my wedding?

- I was there for an hour and a half.

I must've sung every song

in that book of hymns.

- Oh, yeah, I heard.

- You didn't show up.

(sighs)

What's wrong, son?

You got cold feet or something?

Ma, I need your help.

- Oh, I was worried that this might happen.

- What are you talking about?

Well, it's no secret that I was not

the best mother in the world.

Look, Ma, you did the best you could.

Well, I thought I did,

but I guess I didn't.

I mean, I saw a lot of places and...

(sighs)

I loved a lot of men.

George Clinton, Sly Stone.

Oh, Ma.

The bass player from Con Funk Shun.

Now, he was...

- Okay, Mama. TMI. That is way too much.

- Okay. Okay. Okay.

It was a different time, Robbie.

(sighs)

My point is, my best would've been...

if I had met a man that I loved

and he loved me

and we started a family

that you could be proud of.

Yeah, but why didn't you?

You know, Rob, I just couldn't get out

of my own damn way,

but it ain't too late for you.

You don't have to repeat my mistakes.

You just got to lose the nonsense

and get out of your own damn way!

Well, Mama done had her medicine.

I'm gonna go on back over to the church...

with a fresh set of pipes.

Hope you get there before

I hit that high note in "Higher Ground."

Hey.

Thank you.

- I love you, baby.

- I love you, too.

(vocalizes)

(man) Enjoy your day, sir.

Thank you.

(groans)

(Megan) Hey, it's me.

I have to go to a wedding today.

I thought you might want to come.

Free booze.

Hey, where are you?

I want to call the police, but...

you have to be missing for 48 hours

and, you know, it's been one.

Anyway, you're on the clock.

It's me again.

Seriously, I'm worried you fell

somewhere where nobody can see you.

When we get back from the honeymoon,

you are getting microchipped,

like a beagle.

(laughs)

(woman moans)

(both screaming)

- What?

- Who are you?

Callie. From the bar.

We came back here last night... together?

Yeah, you asked me to help you

with your vows,

I thought it was code for something,

but we came up, and that's what we did.

Wait, wait, wait,

so, if we wound up here...

how the hell did I get

halfway across town?

I don't know.

You were so drunk you could barely walk.

You tried to write vows, then you threw up

in that plant and passed out.

When I woke up, you were gone.

So... did I come up with anything good?

Look, she said yes for a reason.

Tell her how you feel, be honest.

Well, I gotta get to the church.

Thanks for not sleeping with me.

Easiest money I ever made.

Wait. You're a prostitute?

- You didn't know that?

- Who hired you?

I don't remember,

but they were pissed when I called

to tell them you didn't perform.

Where's your phone?

It's in a plastic bag behind the toilet.

It's the safest place to keep it.

That is definitely a prostitute trick.

Okay.

(church bells ring)

Bye-bye, love

Damn it!

- (man) Did you hear that?

- (elevator bell dings)

- Yeah.

- Devin, just don't.

Palmetto Hotel, this is Kimber.

Yeah, Kimber, I need to speak to room 412.

(whistling)

Hey, Roger, Pat...

whoever you are.

Just give me one second, all right?

I said give me a second!

This is a very important call!

I have been through so much!

Sir! You can use the phone in our office.

Oh. Cool. Let's go.

What you looking at, Green Mile?

We appreciate your patience,

Mr. Anderson.

Oh, I'm not being patient.

Okay? I'm pissed.

I have been here for almost an hour.

Are you aware you've been the victim

of a serious crime?

Uh, yeah, and that's why I have to get

on the phone in the next four minutes

to figure out who did this to me.

We know who did it.

What I'm about to show you was captured
