I read that Fonzie

wants to be a director...

and Barbarino, I think,

the mechanical bull movie.

I didn't see it yet.

Their shows got canceled

'cause no one wants to see

a 50-year-old guy

hitting on chicks.

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is,

all I really want...

is someone to hold me...

and tell me that everything

is gonna be all right.

Everything is

gonna be all right.

If you found someone

you can love...

you can't let her get away.

You're right, man.

Thank you, Sammy.

Don't tell anyone what I said.

Mom.

Do you really like Glenn?

Oh, sure, honey.

What's not to like?

He's rich, he's charming,

he's handsome...

and now he's really got it all

'cause he's got you.

Honey, what's the matter?

I don't know if

I'm in love with him anymore.

Why? What happened?

I just don't know

if he's the right guy for me.

And I've been spending

a lot of time...

with this other man,

Robbie Hart.

The wedding singer?

You're thinking of leaving

Glenn for the wedding singer?

I don't know

what I'm thinking.

I'm confused.

I know, sweetie.

You've got what is known

as the jitters, cold feet.

Everybody has 'em. I had 'em.

Course, I should have run

screaming down the street...

instead of marrying your father,

but Glenn is different.

He's a keeper.

You're gonna marry Glenn

on Sunday.

You're gonna love him...

and everything's

gonna be wonderful.

Where's your veil?

It's downstairs.

I'll go get it.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

I'm Mrs. Glenn Gulia.

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

I'm Julia Gulia.

Right when I wake up

in the morning...

you're the first person

that pops in my head.

I keep thinking

about you over and over.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Mrs. Julia Gulia.

I'm pleased to meet you.

I'm Mrs. Robbie Hart.

Robbie and I are so pleased

you could come to our wedding.

Pretty good?

What happened?

She just looked way too happy.

I couldn't do it.

I'm sorry, man.

Hey, Rudy. Get Robbie a double.

Actually, Rudy,

don't even worry about it.

I brought my own.

You can't drink that in here.

All right.

I'll finish up in the alley.

Are you guys coming?

It's the wedding singer.

Hey, Glenn. What's up?

I heard you couldn't

close the deal with Holly.

What's the matter with that?

You're not...

You like women, right?

Not as much as you do, I guess.

We're gonna have a little

pre-bachelor party.

You want to come

and have a beer?

You're ridiculous, man.

Stop all this

cheating sh*t, moron.

She's a good girl.

Hey, asswipe...

don't go snitchin'

to Julia about this.

I know you got

some little crush on her...

but you gotta face the facts.

She'd rather go to bed

with a real man...

not some poor singing orphan.

All right, shithead.

I haven't been in a fight...

since I was

in the fifth grade...

but I beat the sh*t

out of that kid...

so now I'm gonna beat

the sh*t out of you.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

I used to be much stronger.

Why don't you write

a song about this?

You can call it...

"l got punched in the nose...

"for stickin' my face

in other people's business."

Way to go.

Sounds like a country song.

Kiss my grits.

I can see that you're drunk,

and that's OK.

I'm still gonna tell you this.

I really miss you,

and I want to come back.

I don't want

to be alone anymore.

You're not alone anymore.

Linda's back.

Can I help you?

Is Robbie here?

I'm afraid he's indisposed.

Shower.

You must be Linda.

Yeah, that's me...

Robbie's fiancee.

Who are you?

I'm Julia Sullivan.

Would you tell him

that I came by to see him?

Oh, yeah,

surely will, Jennifer.

It's Julia.

Wake up, sleepyhead.

This is the first day

of our new life together.

Wake me up...

Before you go-go.

Don't leave me hanging on

like a solo.

What are you doing here?

Well, you passed out,

so I took care of you.

What?

Why'd you take care of me?

I told you last night.

I realized I was wrong...

and I want to take

care of you for good.

I can learn

to deal with the fact...

that you're a wedding singer

and not a rock star.

You can learn to deal with that?

I don't want you to learn

to deal with that.

That's not how it works. Jeez!

Maybe we should talk about this

when you're feeling better.

Hey, psycho...

I'm not gonna feel

better about this.

It's over.

Now please get out

of my Van Halen t-shirt...

before you jinx the band

and they break up.

So you're still pissed

about that wedding thing.

Glenn, good morning.

Hey, baby.

You gonna make breakfast in bed?

Actually, I've been doing

some thinking, and...

I don't need a big wedding...

and I think

that I've been really selfish...

making you do something

you don't even want to do.

You wanna go to Vegas?

All right. Let's go.

There were bells...

On a hill...

But I never heard them ringing.

No, I never heard

them at all...

'Til there was you.

And there was music...

And there were wonderful roses.

They tell me...

In sweet...

Fragrant meadows...

Of dawn and dew.

There was love...

All around...

Flight number 1156

is now ready for boarding.

We'd like to ask passengers

traveling with small children...

I never heard it at all...

'Til there was you.

I just always

envisioned the right one...

being someone

I could grow old with.

I know. I'll go get the car.

Rosie, congratulations.

I gotta go take care

of something, OK?

I know you do. Go get her.

All right.

-l need to talk to you.

-l can't talk right now.

-Are you back with Linda?

-No. Who said that?

Julia.

She went to your house...

to tell you she was

falling for you...

and Linda answered the door

in her underwear.

She was so upset...

she and Glenn

jumped a plane to Vegas.

What do you mean? They're

getting married tomorrow.

Apparently,

that wasn't soon enough.

I said, hip, hop...

A-hippie to the hippie

to the hip, hip, hop.

You don't stop rockin'

to the bang, bang boogie...

Say, up comes the boogie...

To the rhythm

of the boogie that beats.

We're now ready

for our general boarding.

That's it, sweetie.

Ready to go?

This is a great idea.

I'm glad you came around.

You want to do some

gambling and fun right away...

or just get married?

I just want to get married.

You're never going to find her.

There's got to be a million

wedding chapels in Vegas.

-Does anybody have a pen?

-What for?

I got a good idea for a song.

-Here.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Can I help you?

I need a ticket

for Las Vegas, please.

We only have one seat left

in our first-class section.

The next flight

leaves in the morning.

Can I borrow

your credit card?

You're going

to pay me back, right?

No, but if you don't

give it to me...

I'm going to tell everybody

what you said at the bar.

Thanks.

That was really nice of you.

Thanks.

Do you like

Flock of Seagulls?

I can see you do.

-Wish me luck.

-Go get her!

Do you mind

if we switched seats...

and I sat in the window seat?

I hate the aisle seat.

Every time that cart comes by,

it bangs me in the elbows.
