Not in my room.

He never came home last night.

- Really ?

- [ Theo ] Might check out in the barn.

Heard a lot of huffin' and puffin'

out there last night.

- Oh, Crawl, poor guy.

- That's how he got his nickname.

Crawl ?

[ Crawl Groaning ]

[ Groaning ]

Oops.

Sorry, you guys,

[ Crying ]

Oh, God !

[ Crawl ]

Becca ?

Look, l'm sorry.

- Oh, forget it.

lt was all a big joke anyway, right ?

- No.

Not for me.

l'm into you.

- Yeah, until Tracy shows up.

You into her too ?

- Listen, last night...

l'm at the bachelor party, l'm doin'

karaoke and then l wake up in the barn.

That's all l remember

what happened, l swear.

Oh, Crawl !

You are such a hypocrite !

God, you waltz in here telling everyone

to be honest with each other,

and the least you could do

is be honest with me.

l'm being honest.

[ Sighs ] That you blacked out

and woke up with Tracy ?

My God, you must think

l'm stupid. l am stupid.

l never should have brought

you here in the first place.

Why did you bring me here, Becca ?

Because it was Thanksgiving

and you were alone.

You knew Travis was gonna

propose to you, huh ?

- Oh, please. l felt sorry for you.

- ''Please'' to you.

Spare me. You needed someone

to shield you from Travis...

- because you couldn't

even deal with it yourself.

- That is not true.

Have you told anybody the truth ?

Talk about hypocrites.

Hey, l don't even want

to be your friend.

Fine.

Here's your ring.

Fits better on my finger

anyways. See ?

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

What are you doin' here ?

l don't know.

What happened last night ?

You tell me.

Well, l woke up in the barn,

but l, l can't remember anything.

Yeah, well,

l'll tell you what happened.

You and Crawl were all over each other

when you left the bar last night.

Why don't you

take it from there.

l was only gonna dance for him.

After what we had together ?

Man, l thought l knew you.

You are so low.

- [ Walter ] Honey, you okay ?

- Fine.

- Where are you going ?

- Out.

[ Rooster Crowing ]

Becca, what happened ?

[ Sighs ] Everything.

Wait up ! Wait !

- So l take it there's not

going to be a wedding ?

- You got that right.

lt's too bad.

Believe it or not,

l was looking forward

to having you as a brother-in-law.

So where are you heading ?

Back to California...

where it's normal.

Okay. Well, if you find

a baby-fresh nug out there,

send her my way.

[ Clicking ]

You got it.

Take care, all right ?

Be good.

- Okay.

- [ Squeezing Sound ]

- [ Mimics Crawl ]

- Hmm, you made the sound well.

You can have my hat only

if l could squeeze your cheeks.

- Squeeze.

- Yeah.

[ Laughs ]

Take care, buddy.

Later. Thanks for the cot.

Look, we all make mistakes.

- l'm just so confused.

- Listen, it's natural.

You go away from home

the first time,

you, you try new things.

Yeah, l just, l mean, you know,

l thought l knew him and--

Look, those L.A. people are slick.

l mean, they are not like us.

They're on a different wavelength.

l tried to tell ya.

[ Sniffling ]

[ Tires Screeching ]

Ah, ah, ah.

- Get in.

enough time together, don't you?

Look, we need to talk, now.

[ Muttering ]

Look, about last night. l think

there's something you should know about.

Yeah. l just wish l could

remember if l was good or not.

- Well...

- [ Tires Screeching ]

- Sh*t.

Here comes our bird.

[ Travis ]
