Leave me alone.

You knew and you didn't tell me.

- Wait up.

- I can't believe I trusted you.

Come on. You've got to stop running.

- How could you not have told me?

- What did you expect me to say?

You let me make a fool of myself.

You lied to me, but I guess I shouldn't be

surprised because that's what you do.

That's who you are. You're a liar.

You're judging me? That's a good one.

You're going to point a finger at me,

the guy that you hired

to pretend to be your boyfriend?

You're right. I was so desperate

to make everyone believe that I was happy

that I paid $6,000 for a lie.

And, at the end of the day, the only one

who ended up falling for it was me.

I wish I could say it was worth it.

Go ahead, Kat, hate me.

I think you're running out of steam

on this whole Jeffrey thing anyhow.

Maybe now you'll be able to hold on to this

long enough to ruin your next relationship.

- Nick.

- I'm just checking into a hotel.

Don't be ridiculous. It's late.

Take the car.

Actually, the boathouse is empty.

Look, I don't know what's going on with

you two but I'm sure you'll work it out.

You couldn't be more perfect

if she'd picked you out of a catalog.

Thanks, Ed.

Hey.

Hey.

I just... I wanted to say thank you

for not outing me in front of Ed.

I want to tell him,

just not the night before our wedding.

You know, with these things,

timing is everything.

You're right.

You should time it right,

so that when he hears that

you repeatedly screwed his best friend,

he won't feel like the world is collapsing

and there's no escape

because you tricked him into marrying you.

- Kat...

- Don't worry. Your wedding will be perfect.

Tomorrow I'll say all the right things

and you'll deal with Ed when you're ready.

But right now, tonight,

I'm not going to pretend it's OK.

And that's your first flight out?

# Another summer day

has come and gone away #

- All right, thanks.

- # In Paris and Rome

# I wanna go home

# Mmm

# Another aeroplane, another sunny place

# I'm lucky, I know

# But I wanna go home

# Mm, I've got to go home

# And I feel just like I'm living... #

- I'm OK.

- # Someone else's life

# It's like I just stepped outside... #

I don't believe you.

I'm fine, really.

Nothing a bottle of Jack

and a straight razor couldn't fix.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

It's Amy's day.

Get in the car, darling.

No, no. Smile.

Hello.

I've been looking for you.

So, why did you let him go?

- It's complicated, Dad.

- Right.

It probably wouldn't have

worked out anyway, huh?

I remember reading a fascinating article

in the New York Times Magazine once,

where this guy said,

"Every woman has

the exact love life she wants."

You know what? I agree with him.

But I refuse to believe

that this is what you want, Kat.

Ever since you were little,

you've always worried

about what other people think.

Now, come on. What do you think?

Is he the guy for you?

Then go and get him.

Hello, darling. Your mother said

you wanted to have a quick word.

No, no, no, I...

There's something

you should know before you marry me.

What is it?

I wanted to tell you

but I was afraid you'd never forgive me

and I just... I love you so much.

I'm sorry.

I knew you were seeing someone else when

we finally got together, but not Jeffrey.

Does Kat know?

Jeffrey told her last night.

Excuse me.

Ed?

Ed... Calm down, Ed.

Ed!

TJ!

Ah!

Ed, calm down!

It's all sorted! She wants you!

I've given up! What's the problem?

You back-stabbing weasel!

That's not fair.

It was before you guys were even dating.

But you were engaged to her sister.

Ed, calm down!

We can talk about this

like civilized human beings.

I look like a total wanker, don't I?

Yeah, kind of.

Get in the car, Ed.

He's halfway to France by now.

Whoa!

I trust you've enjoyed

your trip to England.

Yeah, it was fantastic.

Thanks, Eddie.

You know, I felt sorry

for you last night.

I was just sitting there like some smug

arse, thinking, "Aren't I a lucky sod?"

I forgave her when I thought

it was just some random bloke.

But not Jeffrey.

I've had her up on a pedestal ever since...

ever since I put her up there.

What a mess I've made, huh?

I'm so sorry.

The hardest thing's loving someone

and then having the courage

to let them love you back.

But if you know her sh*t

and she knows yours

and at the end of the day,

you still would rather give up than try...

nothing's ever gonna be worth it.

Maybe think about it this way.

You go back,

you get to spend the rest of your life

having really great makeup sex.

- Ed?

- Must run!

Hi.

Hi.

Last night, when we were fighting,

I thought this was over.

And I was going to leave you alone

and just take off but...

Then I realized I'd rather fight with you

than make love with anyone else.

- I should get going.

- What? No, you can't.

I have to.

I'm the best man.

# You can dance every dance

with the guy who gives you the eye

# Let him hold you tight

# And you can smile every smile

for the man who held your hand

# Beneath the pale moonlight

# But don't forget who's taking you home

# And in whose arms you're gonna be

# So darling, save the last dance for me

# Oh, I know that the music's fine

like sparkling wine

# Go and have your fun

# Laugh and sing... #

- Let's do it.

- # But while we're apart

# Don't give your heart to anyone

# And don't forget who's taking you home

# And in whose arms you're gonna be

# So darling, save the last dance for me #

Ed, there's no one in the world who knows

how to love my baby sister better than you.

Be good to one another.

To Amy and Ed.

Amy and Ed.

# You can dance

# Go and carry on till the night is gone

# And it's time to go

# If he asks

# If you're all alone, can he walk you home

# You must tell him no

# Cos don't forget who's taking you home

# And in whose arms you're gonna be

# Save the last dance for me

# Oh, I know

# That the music's fine like sparkling wine

# Go and have your fun

# Laugh and sing

# But while we're apart

don't give your heart to anyone

# And don't forget who's taking you home

# And in whose arms you're gonna be

# So darling, save the last dance for me

# Save the last dance

# The very last dance

# For me #

# Another summer day

# Has come and gone away

# In Paris and Rome

# But I wanna go home

# Oh

# Maybe surrounded by

a million people, I...

# Still feel alone, just wanna go home

# Oh, I miss you, you know

# And I've been keeping

all the letters that I wrote to you

# Each one a line or two

# "I'm fine, baby, how are you?"

# Well, I would send them

but I know that it's just not enough

# My words were cold and flat

# And you deserve more than that

# Another aeroplane

# Another sunny place

# I'm lucky, I know

# But I wanna go home

# Mm, I've got to go home

# Let me go home

# I'm just too far from where you are

# I wanna come home

# And I feel just like

I'm living someone else's life

# It's like I just stepped outside
