The Wedding Ringer Page #13

Synopsis: Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a lovable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.

Thanks, Jimmy.

I've got it from here.

Hi. I've got

something to say.

None of this is real.

(GUESTS GASPING)

Ooh.

Uh-oh.

What?

See,although

the flowers are beautiful

and the salad

dressing is great,

we're not married,

Gretchen and I.

(GUESTS GASPING)

We can't be

because my friend Bic

is not a priest.

Oh, sh*t, here we go.

Yeah. In fact, he's not

even in the Army.

His real name is Jimmy,

and I hired him

to be my best man

because I had

no other options.

Same with all my groomsmen.

I actually don't even know

their real last names.

Bronstein.

...is Japanese.

It's good to meet you guys.

So, please stay

and enjoy the cake.

(GUESTS MURMURING)

What do we do now?

We need to get

the f*** out of here.

Yeah.

Great stuff tonight.

Thank you so much, bud.

Are you out of

your f***ing mind?

(ALL GASPING)

(GASPS)

Look, Gretch,

who were we kidding?

You didn't grow up

dreaming of a guy like me.

Your knight is out there somewhere.

Go find him.

ED:
I'm going to

tear your head off.

You goddamn motherfucking

pathetic piece of sh*t.

Seor, let's just relax. Get

out of my way, you fairy.

Fairy? (GRUNTS)

(GUESTS GASPING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Love you, Dougie!

HOLLY:
Calm down.

GRETCHEN:
You motherfuckers!

I swear to God...

(SCREAMING)

What the f***?

I will cut you!

Sh*t, man.

Good game, kid. That

was a hell of a catch.

(SLAPS)

on.

All right. Thanks.

Hey. No ass-touching

off the field, Joe.

I knew you were

full of sh*t

from the moment I met you.

I know this is gonna sound crazy,

but if you're ever in the mood,

I know a place that

has great burritos.

You just ruined

my sister's wedding

and you're asking me

out on a date?

Yes, lam.

Can I call you?

Yeah, you better.

I will.

Oh.

(EXHALES) We were

this close, Doug.

Yeah, well,

maybe next time.

Yeah.

Oh.

Here.

You saved me, Jimmy.

Yeah, well,

you saved me, too.

Did you mean what

you said back there?

Am I really your friend?

Yeah, of course I meant it.

Does that mean you

don't want my money?

F*** yeah, I want this money.

I earned this money, man.

Damn it.

So, what the hell

do we do now?

You still have those two first-class

tickets for your honeymoon?

Yeah, why?

I've got an idea.

This is going to be the best

honeymoon ever! (ALL CHEERING)

Ever honeymoon best

the be to going is this!

Cheers, my friend.

To your first guy trip.

Mmm. I'll drink to that.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT:

Everyone, please,

I need you to

take your seats.

Please fasten

your seat belts.

Can I unfasten

my pants belt?

Oh.

Oh, hello. Would you mind

holding this for a second?

Yes, Doug.

Thank you so much.

Oh, no. Okay.

Oh.

(GIGGLING)

Oh! Hi, there!

(GASPS) You like that,

don't you?

Is that a dog? You can't

have a dog on the plane.

This? No,

it's a service dog.

That's a service dog, man.

Let me show you what type

of service it can do.

Somebody send up

the peanut butter!

No! No peanut butter!
