- You do that!

- Whatever happens,

do not tell Elizabeth

you've been drinking.

- Just quit yelling at me!

God, I have a headache!

- Good luck to you.

- Thank you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Team name.

- Welcome back, Carter.

- Okay.

Here you go.

These are for you.

- Thanks.

- I'll see you

at the starting line.

- Okay.

- Next.

Team name.

- I'm not gonna be too sure

until I look at some x-rays.

But what I see so far looks like

a high ankle sprain.

- Ow! Ow!

- Oh, no, what happened?

Speak.

- I-it was a freak

accident, babe.

I stepped out of the car

and I rolled my ankle.

- Is that the truth?

Mitch.

- It's pretty much

what I saw.

- Do you think there's

any possibility

of him running today?

- Babe, he's a doctor.

I can't run.

- Like I say,

I gotta look at some x-rays.

- So that's it?

What about Mrs. Stanton

and her kids?

- I think the pledges

will understand.

- Final call

for registration.

- I don't think so.

- Well, we're not

gonna find out,

'cause I'll run.

- What?

- If you'll have me.

- I will so have you.

Can you handle Jake?

Mitch and I have

a race to run.

- Wait, whoa...

wait, wait, wait...

- go get 'em, guys.

- Wait, I...

- shh, shh, shh,

shh, shh, shh.

- Ow!

- All couples should be

making their way

to the starting line.

- I got it, I got it.

- How long is this thing

anyway?

- Probably best

if you don't know.

Just remember,

keep an even pace

and remember

that you're doing it

for Mrs. Stanton and her kids.

- Mrs. Stanton

and her kids. Right.

Okay. This gonna

mess up my pedicure?

- The Pasadena couples marathon

is about to begin.

- I should have gone

to the bathroom first, right?

- Ladies and gentlemen,

do not break your connection,

or you will be disqualified.

Also, make sure

you stay in the course,

especially when you hit

trail hill.

- Trail what?

- Shh!

- There... there's a hill?

- In your position.

On your marks...

Get set...

- But you took control

of me

you pulled the rug

from under my feet

so this is the way

it's supposed to be

I never knew

a love like this

when I was searching

forever

to find someone better

to show me

a love like this

- Ow!

- Oh, stop complaining.

- Donna, I can do it

by myself, all right?

- Oh, shut up.

I'm helping.

- I can't believe she's running

that race with Mitch.

I bet they don't even

finish.

- Oh, ho!

She will.

I just hope Mitch

survives.

- Jesus is on the main line

tell him what you want

oh, Jesus is on

the main line

tell him what you want

Jesus is on the main line

tell him what you want

call him up

and tell him what you want

Jesus is on the main line

tell him what you want

oh, Jesus is on

the main line

tell him what you want

Jesus is on

the main line

tell him what you want

call him up

- good job, guys.

- And tell him

what you want

- So he just stepped in,

huh?

- I know.

Crazy, right?

- Yeah. Well, we have

checkpoints all over this place.

If they were to have quit,

we would have

found out by now.

- Come on, baby!

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!

Come on, baby!

- Oh, wow.

- Whoo, whoo, whoo.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa.

- Oh, my gosh.

- Hey, hey.

You okay?

- Oh, my gosh!

Should we call an ambulance?

Oh!

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

Put your arm around me.

Hold on.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, my God!

- Go, Lizzie!

- You all right?

- Mitch!

Here, sweetheart.

Oh, my God.

You okay?

Come on.

- As I get closer

and closer to Elizabeth,

I'm beginning to feel more

and more confident about this.

- Morning, sunshine.

- Good morning, mommy.

Mommy?

- You're not my mom!

- Mm-mm.

Good thing.

- Oh.

Oh, God, it hurts to move.

- I figured it would.

That way,

you can't kick me out.

- Doesn't it remind you

of when we were camping?

I could stay here all day.

- I don't think

I have a choice.

I think I left my credit card

at the bar the other night.

- Lizzie!

Are you up?

- Uh, yeah.

- Just got a call

from the wedding photographer.

He needs to change

his appointment

to 10:
30 A.M. tomorrow.

- Okay. Thank you.

- You're welcome!

- I actually forgot

I had that appointment today.

- I'm sorry, Liz,

I have to ask.

- Yes?

Why are you marrying

this guy?

- Excuse me?

- No, I'm just saying,

it's...

From what I've seen,

you're not very happy with him.

And if you don't mind me

saying,

he's kind of a dick.

- Wow.

- What, you disagree?

- What would you like

for me to do, Mitch?

Do you want me to dump Jake

and marry you?

- And who do you think

you are,

you're gonna come here

after ten years

and you're gonna

judge me?

- Wait a second.

For... ow.

For your information,

I barely made it

through Texas

coming out here

to find you.

If I want to judge,

I'll judge!

- Okay, now we're gonna

play that card?

The "I worked so hard

to find you"?

Come on, give me a break.

- It's no card.

- Fine.

I'll bite.

Laura!

There he is.

- Hey, Rudy...

- come here, you!

Bring it in.

Bring it in.

So... I heard you're spending

the night at my sister's.

- Uh, yes, sir.

- Did you have sex with her yet?

- Rudy!

- Sorry.

I'm just kidding.

But I heard she's good.

I'm just kidding!

Hey, would you like to hang out

with us a bit?

Me and my boys, we're gonna be

hanging around the fire,

saying a couple chants.

- What kinda chants?

- Well, number one,

our lord and savior, j. C.

- J...

- Jesus Christ.

- Right.

Can I ask

what the bonfire's about?

I mean, don't you guys

usually burn... Crosses?

- Whoa, whoa.

Who do you think we are?

- K.K.K.?

- What would

make you say that?

- It might have something to do

with the white robes.

- Laura, first of all,

they're not white...

they're taupe.

- You've heard of

the hell's angels?

- Of course.

- Well, they are

the heaven's angels.

- Oh...

- We're a small group,

but we're growing fast.

- The robes are what they call

angel shrouds.

- Yo, Rudy, the boys are getting

restless waiting on you.

How much longer

we gotta wait?

- Would you like to join us

for our ceremony this evening?

- If I refuse?

- I'll just have

the boys come over and, uh,

they'll just

kick the snot outta you.

- Let's chant!

- All right, well,

you boys have fun.

I'm outta here.

- You're going?

- Oh, yeah.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

- Yeah. A biker gang

called the heaven's angels

in Texas?

That's ridiculous.

- Rudy turned out to be

a really nice guy.

He gave me his card.

- You know what?

Jake proposed to me,

I said yes,

and we're getting married.

- Well, great.

Good. Fine.

Good for you!

- You know...

Buddy!

Come on,

let's wake Mitch up!

Wait... no, bu... no.

Buddy, n-n...

Aah!

- Excuse me.

- Oh, hey, man.

Sorry. We don't open

for another hour.

- Yeah, I know.

I was in here the other night.

I think I left

my credit card.

I was...

Playing the, uh,

whipping post.

- Yes!

I remember you!

You're awesome!

- Thank you.

- Yeah. No, man,

you're one tough
