The Wedding Pact Page #8

- Thank you.

- Thank Mitch.

It was Mitch's quick action

that saved buddy's life.

- Thank you.

- Can we see him?

- Sure. Just remember,

he's a little out of it.

He hasn't been moved

to recovery yet,

but I'm sure he'd like to see

his mom and dad.

- Oh, Mitch isn't his dad.

He's a friend visiting

in town.

- Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt you,

but I have some paperwork

that needs filling out.

- No problem.

You two go.

- Thank you, mom.

- I'll take care of this.

- I'm just gonna give you guys

a couple minutes,

then we have to move him.

- You okay?

You wanna be alone?

- No.

Hey...

- I'm just glad

he's gonna be all right.

- Me too.

- Yeah.

Oh, honey.

Oh...

thank you, Mitch.

Thank you so much.

Okay. I'll see you both

at home.

- Drive safe, mom.

- Okay.

- I'm just happy

he's coming home in a few days.

That's great.

- It's Jake. I don't want

to deal with that right now.

You wanna go get

something to eat?

- You know, I know my timing

kinda sucks right now,

but, um... I think

I'm gonna go.

- Oh, okay.

Um...

See you at the house.

- No. I mean I'm gonna leave.

- Like for good?

Mitch, we still have

the wedding.

I need you there.

- You don't need me there.

- Yes, I do.

- Why?

Why do you need me there?

It's your wedding,

for Christ's sake.

- You never really talked

to me like that before.

And you know what, Mitch?

You're right.

Your timing could not be worse.

- Why is it so important

that I be at your wedding, huh?

You wanna rub it

in my face?

- Rub it in your face?

What are you talking about?

- God, jeez...

Jake is right.

I am a wuss.

You might as well just

make me the maid of honor.

- What does that mean?

- You don't get it, do you?

- Get what?

- I'm in love with you.

- Why would you

tell me that?

- I've wanted to tell you that

since the first time I met you.

Do you know why

I came to find you?

Do you remember

what we said to each other?

The day before graduation.

Ten years ago.

- Tell me.

Mitch, tell me.

- Take care of yourself.

- Hey.

Donna filled me in.

Are you okay?

- No.

- I know you just

wanna save me

how bad I wanna let you

'cause there's so much

I wanna be

and I don't wanna

regret you

but I miss you

when you're gone

I wanted this

so very long

and I feel a breakdown

coming on

- Hi. Is this Rudy?

- I'm losing it,

I gotta let you go

while I go through this

I'm losing it,

don't wanna say good-bye

but I can't do this

I'm losing it,

I know it's time

I tried it all

I loved and I won

and still I fall

but I'm finally losing it

so hard waking up alone

and chasing my dreams

it's so far

to walk this road

with no guarantees

and never know

that every song

reminds me of you

being gone

and I feel a breakdown

coming on

I'm losing it,

I gotta let you go

while I go through this

I'm losing it,

don't wanna say good-bye

but I can't do this

I'm losing it,

I know it's time

I tried it all

I loved and I won

and still I fall

but I'm finally losing it

oh, when I'm out of town

and you're not around

I'll be breaking down

I'm breaking down

- I'm looking

at the same numbers.

But, well, no, I can assure you,

it's all tax deductible.

It is.

Let's go through

last month's projected

and actually see

where we came out.

I think you're gonna

be very happy.

- I'm losing it,

I'm losing it

I'm losing it, I'm losing it

I'm losing it

I gotta let you go

while I go through this

I'm losing it,

don't wanna say good-bye

but I can't do this

I'm losing it

honey, I don't wanna

put you through this

I'm losing it,

baby, please don't cry

but I can't do this

I'm losing it

oh, oh, no

I'm losing it

oh oh

I'm losing it

I know it's time,

I tried it all

I loved and I won

and still I fall

but I'm finally

losing it

I'm losing it.

- You look beautiful.

Your father

would be so...

Proud today.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Elizabeth...

You need to stop.

Mitch isn't coming.

- I know. I just can't

stop thinking about him.

It's my wedding day, and all

I think about is Mitch.

- It may sound strange, but

I keep thinking about him too.

- Mother!

- What?

He's a nice republican.

- He's actually

a registered independent.

- On the outside.

Not in here.

- I miss him.

- Is she here?

- You're not supposed

to be here.

- Donna, I'm gonna be

married to this woman

in about 30 minutes.

I think it's okay

if I see her now, okay?

- No, no. Not until

she walks down that aisle.

- Fine. Fine.

You haven't seen Mitch

around, have you?

- No. He isn't here.

- Good.

'Cause the next time I see him,

I'm gonna put him

in the hospital... you got it?

- Will you stop with that?

He's the one who saved buddy

after you hit him and took off.

Besides... They made

a pact ten years ago

to marry each other

only for him to find out

that she's marrying you

instead.

So I think I'd cut him

a little slack, honey.

- They made a pact?

Gosh, Donna,

I don't know what to say.

That's so touching.

Come on, are you kidding me?

Who the hell even does that?

And that whole buddy thing,

by the way?

I was trying to protect

my family's reputation.

- Go back

to your friends, Jake.

We'll see you downstairs.

- Yeah, I'll see you

downstairs.

- Everything okay?

- Everything's fine.

It's terrific. So...

You ready to get married?

- How's dad?

Well, look, I'm gonna see

you guys Sunday anyway, okay?

Yes, I'm still

coming for dinner.

Okay?

I love you too.

All right, bye.

Buddy?

Buddy!

Ha ha ha!

Is that you?

You look great?

- I was about to say

the same thing about you.

Looks like someone

took up jogging.

- What are you doing here?

- I just thought

that you'd like to see

that buddy was doing okay.

- So you came all the way to

Boston to tell me buddy's okay.

- No, actually,

I came all the way to Boston

to show you

that buddy was okay.

- Why would you do that?

- Well...

- Will you stop with that?

He's the one who saved buddy

after you hit him and took off.

Besides... They made

a pact ten years ago

to marry each other,

only for him to find out

that she's marrying you

instead.

- Everything okay?

- Everything's fine.

It's terrific. So...

You ready to get married?

- Sorry.

- Whoa, compadre.

Where do you think you're going?

- Who the hell are you?

Get your hands off me!

Ow! Ow!

- Now, we can do this

the easy way,

or we can do this my way.

It's your choice.

- Mother... ow! Ow!

- Okay. It's my way.

Let's go.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have

your attention, please?

I'm sorry to inform you,

but there will no longer

be a wedding here today.

It seems that the bride to be

has had a change of heart.

And as I look around

this beautiful setting,

it seems none of you

are shocked.

- Excuse me, but you're

hurting my son.

- Yes, I am.

- Would you please stop?

- Where's Donna?

No worries.

Elizabeth called me.

Jake, it's over.

Don't come looking

for Elizabeth... ever.

If you do, you're not
