[sobs]

It's really nice to see this

and see how the universe

can bring two people together.

You know, like...

I'm sorry.

That song really

got me going, you know?

It really brought up

a lot of painful things,

but it's like so beautiful

to be here

and to be reminded that the reason why

you fall in love in the first place

is because you do have

that emotion, and it's real.

[sobbing]

You know. I mean...

Oh, Helen,

you're so sweet.

Well, don't tell anybody

'cause I'm not a wuss.

[laughter]

[phone chimes]

I can't sing like you,

beautiful.

Not without whisky.

- [laughter]

- True.

My voice is at the bottom

of the bottle.

- That's actually quite true.

- Raspy voice.

Many things are

at the bottom of the barrel.

But I'm also not,

you know,

I'm never one

to get overly emotional.

Sorry. I wanted you to know

that I actually...

- Hey, guys!

- Oh, my!

Hey, I'm Helen.

Nice to meet ya.

I'm Nikki.

I'm the sister.

I know who you are.

Hey.

- I'm Josh.

- I'm Vivien.

Oh, yeah, Vivien, Karin.

I know you.

Everyone knows you.

Good to meet you.

Anyway, I wanted to say

really quick

is that I lied to my boss

and told him I was having

my eggs harvested this weekend,

so that I would

not miss this.

I love you that much,

my darlings. Cheers!

- Born of a lie!

- What's gonna happen

when your boss finds out

you still have eggs?

They don't harvest

all of them.

Oh.

Well, don't yell at him, man.

He just didn't know.

Don't yell at a guy.

Were you still saying anything?

- No, I'm done now.

- Oh, okay, well good.

Because I wanted to take an

opportunity to say a few things.

Oh, you have some things?

I had a couple things I wanted

to say. I think, like...

Technically... You can have it.

I was working on it.

But I guess, technically,

I'm kind of the best man

or whatever.

- The only man.

- The only man at the table.

We may as well change

the terminology to "only man."

Andi has been,

as you probably all know,

has been my best friend

for my whole life, basically.

We've seen each other

at our best and worst.

I've had so many ups and downs

over the years,

and I know that you've had

mostly ups, you know?

And very few downs.

The only downs

I really can think of

is when you guys broke up,

and you were a miserable...

like she absolutely was like

the worst I've ever seen her.

And so I just thought, like,

all right, I guess... if it

was causing her so much trauma,

maybe it wasn't right

or whatever.

Hey, dude, come on.

[stuttering]

I... I'm getting there.

Well, who are you, you know?

You just showed up.

So anyway, sorry.

You don't bring up breakups

at these things.

[Josh]

I'm getting to the point.

- You are?

- Yes.

Get to the point.

You know, so it's very clear

that you guys belong together,

- and you are perfect.

- Yes!

I think we should all

raise a glass and say...

[speaking Chinese]

Oh, my God.

He's been trying to learn

Chinese like since I was a kid,

and you always f*** it up,

but I love you anyway.

Gong xi means

"congratulations."

I have no idea what the f***

else you were trying to say.

[laughter]

Gong xi?

Yeah, gong xi, gong xi.

Gong xi, gong xi, man.

Hi, everyone, hi.

I'm sorry I snuck in.

I'm sorry I'm late.

It's all right.

I just want to say,

even though I'm older,

Lu has always been

my big sister,

and she's always taken

such good care of me, you know?

And I brought something

to take care of y'all tonight.

- I want to give it to you.

- I like presents.

What's in the...

Oh, my God.

That's Molly?

Oh, my God.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Hope you're down to clown

'cause I could take about

four of those right now.

[laughter]

Everybody's looking.

It's gonna be awesome, Lu.

[Nikki] You're gonna take it now?

Yeah, sweet.

Are we supposed to wait?

No. I just didn't expect

everyone to be like, whoo!

I'm gonna give you one.

[Helen]

I'm ready to roll.

[Nikki]

Are you chewing it?

- [coughs]

- [Josh] Isn't it bitter?

Drink it with water.

This was a terrible choice.

- Josh.

- [Josh] I better catch up.

Everybody drink water

throughout the night.

[Josh] Police!

Thanks.

How you doing?

- Fine.

- You feeling it yet?

- No.

- No?

I don't wanna go through

the whole weekend

with tension between us.

I mean...

No, it's fine,

there's not.

Look, I was supposed to take

the kids to Adam's office,

and when I got there,

he wasn't there,

and then when he got back, he had

to go straight into a meeting,

and it was just

a total miscommunication.

I thought that...

Nikki, you really

hurt my feelings.

- I know.

- You really let me down.

I'm... I'm really sorry.

This is a big weekend, and I'm

really nervous about it, okay?

I don't really have

a lot of people here.

I promise you I'm here.

I'm ready to just

make it up to you.

I'm ready to just...

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Okay, this is...

Okay.

[Andi]

True love! True love!

[cheering]

[club music]

Hey, what's going on

with Vivien?

She looks like she came from

a lobster dinner at Forever 21.

- They used to f***.

- They used to f***?

F*** buddy.

I think they're

gonna f*** tonight.

I think they should f***!

[continues]

The next morning,

I came to my dorm room,

and I found this letter

that was like, "Oh, my God.

Last night was so amazing.

I hope that we can do it again."

And there was like

rose petals everywhere.

That whole message

in rose petals?

- [Well, no, he didn't...

- laughter]

No, he wrote it on paper,

and the rose petals were there.

But I was like,

"What the f*** are you...?"

- I think he got the wrong bed.

- You didn't talk to him?

I didn't talk to him.

I didn't even like barely...

[Josh] Did he know that

you had a boyfriend?

And he also knew

I had a boyfriend.

So I was like,

what is his angle?

[Josh]

I wouldn't do that.

If I knew that someone

had a boyfriend,

- I would be just like, "All

right, fine." -Is she okay?

How you doing?

You okay?

[heavy breathing]

Is this what an orgasm

feels like?

What?

You never had

an orgasm before?

Lu.

With a dude,

or with like a lady?

Like with Andi?

I... No idea.

Well, I've felt good.

She's had one.

Like a lot.

[Josh]

Are you on antidepressants?

'Cause I was on Lexapro

for three years

and sometimes

you can't finish,

and that's just like

a side effect of it.

I don't want to hear about

f***ing antidepressants

one more time, okay?

[Josh] I'm just trying to,

you know, cut the tension.

[Vivien]

It's cool. It's cool.

[Josh]

Sorry.

Hey.

[sighs]

Did my decorations fall down?

No, they were fine.

I just...

I was trying

to make them fancy,

a little fancier.

They weren't fancy enough?

No. I just wanted to contribute

because I wasn't here earlier.

You don't like my decorations.

You don't like

my speech at dinner.

You brought up their breakup.

I know what I said,

and I know that it was dumb.

As soon as I said it,

I realized what I said,

and I started backtracking,

but then you pointed it out
