Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom Page #4

Synopsis: Noah, Alex, Ricky, Chance and their significant others travel to Martha's Vineyard for a weekend wedding getaway. Drama ensues as one-by-one their relationships start to crack under the pressure of closer examination. Newly successful screenwriter Noah looks to his friends for advice as he prepares to move his relationship to a more serious level while struggling to keep his first studio movie alive. But the friends are of little help as they juggle their own issues. Elder statesmen Chance and Eddie attempt to scratch their seven-year itch but worry their marriage has permanently lost its spark. And playboy Ricky flaunts his barely legal college student fling in the face of his monogamous friends but hides a surprising secret that threatens to rock the house. Add to the mix Alex's crazy-making wedding prep, a closeted superstar rapper, a high-maintenance studio exec, and a surprise visitor and you've got the makings of a hilarious and poignant romantic comedy.

Excuse me.

Sit!

Your friends do not like.

Ever they like.

That's not true.

If they disapproved,

Why be here?

Because you want.

Yes

I am sorry you think

my friends do not want ...

... much as I do. They will,

but it takes time. You know.

I regret that appeared Baby Gat uninvited and that despite ...

... of what I say or do, remains a flirtatious.

Brandy sorry ...

My boss, do not forget.

... has told us were getting married.

I regret that.

But I know ...

... Are you using this as an excuse to get away?

Will you marry me or not?

Because if you do not want ...

I will not lock you, Wade.

I love you.

And I want love

you feel more free.

For loving me means you should do certain things ...

... and accept that you are not part of certain things.

And he must fight about such things.

Do not you understand?

I know all that.

That's why I proposed marriage when we could have lived together.

To prove that I understand ...

... just do not need your friends if you doubt me no doubt.

Come on. Time to put things in place.

And Baby Gat?

Faced with this b*tch when the time comes.

- Look, Curtis ...

- Baby Gat.

Only my friends call me Curtis.

Whatever, baby. I care only remember that this wedding.

- It will be remembered.

- In a good way.

Now, how do we make this no idiot ruin it?

I believe that you they're ruining it without my help.

What?

Who do you think you talking about?

You know nothing about me.

We can solve ...

... all this table. We set fire to this place. I tell you ...

Damn, my blueberry pie.

Look, we want Noah to be happy.

- They want Noah to be happy.

- Me.

And you're ready to go the closet to be with him?

- Because it is what is needed.

- We'll fix that.

I do not think well.

I live by my impulses, man.

My feelings. My heart.

So do not come with lectures on logic.

Because that's your thing, not mine.

I say what atemos, and metamos in the trunk ...

... a car until this is over.

That would be kidnapping, and Ricky ...

... you've spent a night in prison this weekend.

I ran out of ideas.

Anyone else?

What do you think?

Thrilled to see a star, I filmed everything with my cellphone ...

... to show my friends University.

I shot a Baby Gat giving flowers to Noah.

You know, the gay thing.

Could be transferred via Bluetooth YouTube easily.

Or I can save and delete after the wedding.

Brandon, you're a genius.

Holy God. What ...?

- Eddie?

- Leave it.

You have to calm down.

I must say ...

... what I did before was wrong, go, now I realize.

They love nothing will change.

I just want to be there to celebrate their union.

You have my word.

From brother to brother.

- Where does this?

- Feel the love, rasta, that is.

These guys ...

These guys ...

They want.

Both of them.

They just tell me the great couple that form.

Although they have a review.

What?

They say you're paranoid.

They say that you trust ...

... where you want they want to Noah.

I am a man who keeps his word.

It is better that you, too what are you, my black.

Who asked for something from the Pet Store?

Alex!

Look.

When we talked last time about our dreams?

In college I was in a band.

Lead Parasol.

You said it stank.

Go to hell!

At least it was fun.

I loved playing in that band.

When was the last time I played a guitar?

When you see that trigger a midlife crisis.

I guess.

Crap.

Sorry.

Chance!

My God, Alex!

So let go and then ...

Do you fly?

Do not freeze at this time of year?

The perfect metaphor for the joy of marriage.

That's it.

Returned.

God! What happened?

- We found him unconscious.

- Careful.

Okay?

Still breathing. He has a good pulse.

Alex, where are they?

- Give me the pills.

- Do you take pills?

- Amphetamines or something.

- Son of herbs.

Where are ...?

DETAINED THE DREAM

Alex, not herbal.

They are loaded with caffeine.

That's why I passed out.

You're exhausted. You must sleep.

- But the wedding.

- Do not worry about that.

You prepared the schedule.

We will follow it.

- Sleep.

- Do not forget to bring your camera ...

... for the video of the preparation.

- I'm sorry.

- Eddie, not now.

Very well then. I guess

we all have work to do.

You recover.

What is that thing the broom?

When our ancestors were slaves were not allowed to marry ...

... legally, so they created this ritual to symbolize a wedding.

- It's a way of honoring history.

- Great.

I feel bad because your family is not.

Are our families or none.

We discussed it. It is my choice.

Yes, but now it's real.

It feels like a bad start or a bad omen.

Because with my family was not my choice.

Papo.

- Did they finish?

- Almost.

You picked the perfect time to awaken.

That was the plan.

The final touch.

Alex, are adorable.

Thank you very much.

- Thanks, Alex.

- Is not it nice?

- Look at the scarf.

- They must be hungry.

- You hungry?

- Very much so.

I'm starving. Let's eat.

Boys. Dinner.

- Great, I'm starving.

- Yes, that is.

Now, Noah and Wade ...

... before moving to their respective stag ...

... I remind you that from now on,

bride and groom ...

... should not be before the wedding.

- What?

- Why?

Bad luck.

- But do not share the bed?

- Wade can sleep in the shed.

Great. Well, okay.

Eddie, do you still take it to Wade your bachelor party?

- Yes.

- Well, and we'll do the party ...

... here at home. The jacuzzi is warming at this time.

- Is the hot tub?

- What about Brandon?

Brandon can celebrate with us.

'll Enter another one.

- It's fun.

- Yeah, like a slumber party.

You can come with us, Brandon.

Yes, sure, Mr. Macintyre.

Well. No more formal dessert.

Beginning the bachelor parties.

Come on!

- What do you call this place?

- Fos'cle.

Bar heterosexual bias with a bohemian twist.

- Do you have your ID, right?

- Yes, Mr. Macintyre.

Hey, Kim-Fung Choi, if you want go to that bar ...

Eddie and Wade ... call us.

Do you think it is okay to stop using condoms after marriage?

It's difficult.

I mean, passing clinic many young ...

... I ask, "Can I let him without a condom? ".

Having known the guy less than a week.

They say:

"I love it. I trust him.

Doing many good things for me. "

And I say, "Do you trust him? Nena you'll be sitting in a clinic ...

HIV ... feeling stupid! "

But not much more complicated when you talk ...

... on a long term relationship?

- You and Trey still use condoms?

We did the first five years but always did the test.

And you know that we are to meet 11 years?

Can you believe it?

And I never cheated.

That you know.

What about you and Eddie?

Still use condoms.

I think it's more hygienic.

Well, I think we can expect.

Maybe we review the options after years of happy monogamy.

There's that word again.

Monogamy.

With all types that are sexy ...

... Why do it?

Well, not so much monogamy itself.

Well ...

Wade is the man ... sexiest on the planet.

- For you.

- Yes, for me. And I got it.

But as you know it the sexiest if not sales ...
