Table 19 Page #4

Synopsis: Ex-maid of honor Eloise (Anna Kendrick) - having been relieved of her duties after being unceremoniously dumped by the best man via text - decides to hold her head up high and attend her oldest friend's wedding anyway. She finds herself seated at the 'random' table in the back of the ballroom with a disparate group of strangers, most of whom should have known to just send regrets (but not before sending something nice off the registry). As everyone's secrets are revealed, Eloise learns a thing or two from the denizens of Table 19. Friendships - and even a little romance - can happen under the most unlikely circumstances.

but I had to get a job answering

phones at a car dealership

and my supposed

friends couldn't wait.

So now I find myself

thinking that this guy...

You, guy...

seem like the kind of

person who, in fact,

did not have to get a job

at Lukazey's Toyota

and has been to Europe

or some such

and knows where one goes to...

To what?

Oh. Well. Uh...

I'd probably say this corner right

here is where I'd go for that.

We have no past

We won'! reach back

Keep with me forward

All through the nigh!

And once we start

The meter clicks

Ugh. I'm drunk, Teddy.

Please don't let me

make a fool of myself.

Mom, you could never

make a fool of yourself.

You couldn't make ii.

Not possible.

All through me nigh!

Stray cat is crying,

so stray cat sings back

- What are we doing'?

- We're dancing.

And also?

Maybe making somebody jealous.

Okay.

Sorry.

Bit too much?

It's a little too much.

You know,

this isn't really dancing.

Oh?

Uh-uh.

This is dancing.

Oh...

Watch it!

What?

Keep with me forward

all through the night

And once we star!

The meter clicks

And it goes on running

All through me nigh!

We have no past

We won't reach back

Keep with me forward

all through the night

And once we star!

The meter clicks

And it goes running

all through the night

Until it ends

There is no end

It was lovely to dance with you.

How did I not just get kissed?

It happens more often

than you think.

Hmm...

Uh...

I'm Eloise, by the way.

Who are you?

Huck.

Huck?

No one's really

named Huck somebody jealous... Okay.

Huck, we are in a grand

ballroom full of tables.

I'm at the very worst one.

Would you care to join me?

I shouldn't.

Sure.

Oh, seriously?

Yeah.

Oh, God, you're not

somebody's date in there, are you?

No.

Because you're not at a table.

You're crashing the wedding?

You gotta stay for the food.

Oh, do I?

Yeah, that's why people come

to weddings. For free food.

Oh, is that so?

Yeah.

And to meet somebody.

Hello? Hello? Hey, everybody.

Best man.

Best man, toast time.

Yeah.

Yeah. Now, I got a few things

that I'd like to say.

Well, it's hard to believe

any relationship

that had its start at

McCormick's 80s Karaoke Night

could possibly

amount to anything

more than a one-night

stand...

but it did and here we

are and it's perfect.

I guess, you know,

to ail those who

want to see how it's done,

how people can and should be

there for each other,

look no further than table one.

You're a better couple

than we've seen

in our family in along,

long time.

So, yeah, in honor of that

I've got a few things

I'd like to say about love.

This friend of mine, Clarence,

once stood up during lunch period

and said he had something

to say about love.

Then he took a dump

on the table.

When Francie first met Doug,

she just always knew

that he'd never let her down.

But I thought

people almost

always let you down,

so where did that come from?

Maybe she realized that

whenever he did let her down,

maybe shew just be always

ready to forgive him.

Whoo!

Come on up here, Nikki.

Save me, please.

I don't know

what I'm saying anymore.

Maid of honor toast time!

Oh...

Let's go.

What?

She's none of our business.

Who knows what that girl

will do to herself?

We don't, because we don't

know anything about her.

She's temperamental.

She hasn't had a drink

and now she's puked up

mini hotdogs.

Do none of you care that that

girl is obviously pregnant?

What?

Huh?

You children are

such a disappointment.

Go away, please.

You're right. Teddy Millner

was always rotten.

You don't know me.

No' he was selfish,

rude, mumbling.

Always mumbling.

In love with whatever toy

his mother got him

until she got him a new one

and then he just moved right on.

Please go away. Please.

I got his sister Francie

a bird that I found

at a Chinese gift store

in New York City.

Well, Teddy got jealous.

So the next time

I was in New York,

I went out of my way,

skipped a blind date

my aunt tried to set me up on...

Please get out.

Skipped a date,

to find Teddy the same

bird his sister cherished.

Well, he played with it

for one day!

I never saw the bird again.

My whole life might have been

something else

if I'd gone on that date.

But what's done is done.

No. Wait.

I know what happened.

He ended it with a text message

when you told him

you were pregnant.

Oh...

Jesus!

Never doubt a nanny's intuition.

It's true?

Yes.

Can everybody just

get out of here, please?

So what do we do?

What do you mean,

"What do we do?"

To teach that a**hole a lesson.

Oh, Lord.

No, I don't want to do anything

that will jeopardize my freedom

to run my successful business.

That's right.

Let's just please go back

to the table before

they think we've left.

What do you care what

anyone here thinks, Bina?

Stop. That was

an overreaction, okay?

I had too many of

the mini hotdogs and...

Can we just forget about it?

That won't be easy.

Teddy Millner is leaving you

to raise a child alone.

If you even go...

Oh, my God.

If you even go through

with the pregnancy.

Okay, no. This is

no one's business, okay?

We're going back to the table.

Let's get out of

the ladies' bathroom.

Francie's still my friend, and

I'm not gonna mess up her day

by doing something

to her dumb brother.

What if Francie

never needs to know?

Jerry, stop. She said

she's done with it.

Well, no.

No. For once, I'm not gonna do

the thing I immediately regret.

Renzo, if I gave you

a couple hundred bucks,

could you get a hooker

to wait in Teddy's room?

Oh, I was asking the hotel that very

same question about my own room.

I don't want to get

involved with hookers.

They don't provide them.

You guys probably already know

this, but that's not a question

you're supposed to ask

a fancy place like this

unless you're

a successful businessman.

Which I am.

Are you okay?

You looked like you got sick.

I'm fine. Please get lost.

Excuse me.

Hello. Jerry Kepp.

Diner associate

on the Grotsky side.

Hello.

Did you or did you not

dump this girl

after getting her pregnant?

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry, what's going

on now? I'm just...

I never did like you,

not even as a child.

Teddy Millner, did you dump

this girl immediately

after she told you

she was pregnant?

Okay.

You didn't tell them

what you said.

Wait, what did you say?

What did I say?

She said that we'd be

ridiculous parents.

No, I... Not like that.

Yes, you did.

You said I'd be

a ridiculous father.

You asked me

if I wanted to keep it.

Then I asked you if you

would want to keep it

and you didn't say

anything to that.

So then I said

we were ridiculous.

Il was after

you called me ridiculous

because why would you

want to keep our kid

if you thought

that I was just a...

That I was just a joke?

It was before.

And you were looking

for a way out, man!

I get that now.

Everyone we know says

we were wrong together.

Your mother wouldn't

stop saying that
