Sure, sure.

I just thought it'd be nice to chat

before the wedding and all the craziness.

Get to know each other a little.

Okay, so let's talk...

So, all I really know is

you're very pretty

and your husband wasn't around much.

He played around a lot.

- What?

- Are you out of your mind?

I am not a lip-reader.

- Hang the phone up. Say goodbye.

- Hello?

I just wanted to ask how close

she wanted her table to the father!

You have to make small talk first!

At 4:
00 in the morning!

I didn't know!

You didn't, then you did!

What? I was about to get off

before you butted in!

You know something?

I can't die first!

I know it's wrong to say,

but I couldn't handle you

ever making decisions all by yourself!

It wouldn't be fair to you or the kids!

Sweetheart, you need to

gain weight. You're too skinny.

There you go, darling.

Okay, all right. Looking good. Open.

- Oh, yeah.

- Such service!

Anybody figure out that chair?

The button situation?

Good morning, Seymour.

Seymour, you're here. You're good.

Go ahead.

Eggs, Ma, eggs.

Hey, all right. Love you, pal. Love you.

- Dad?

- Yeah, what?

Is Mom gonna die soon

like you were yelling about?

What's that, buddy?

You were deciding who to die first?

Oh, no, no, no.

That's not gonna happen

for a very long time, pal.

I was just saying that,

when it does happen,

I think it would be best

that it's your mom, for everyone's sake.

Okay, guys.

I'm sorry to break up all the fun.

I have to stop by work.

That's what the boxes are for.

Seymour, Seymour,

you need to go to the bathroom?

Kenny's leaving,

so now is the time.

Not now.

- Why don't you just try?

- No.

You sure

you don't have to make?

I thought Norman gave you

the rest of the week off?

Oh, he did. I just...

I'm gonna go by for a minute,

and then I'm gonna pick your brother's

family up at the airport.

Okay, well, if you take the minivan,

don't adjust the seat setting.

- Don't adjust it?

- No, I got it set perfect. Please!

Oh! Hey, hey, big man.

What's in the boxes?

Oh, these? These are for him.

Hi. Okay, okay.

How're we doing? How're we doing?

Everybody, everybody,

this is my almost dad-in-law, Kenny.

Look at this.

I am so happy you made it.

Congratulations.

You got quite a cousin here

or whatever he is to you.

Nice to meet you.

I hope everybody likes the hotel.

It's a Two Diamond.

So, yeah, my company worked on it

and it's fantastic.

If you have any problems,

you make sure and call me.

I left an emergency contact number

in every room.

Hey, no problem.

Psyched to be in New York City.

Capital of the world, y'all!

Actually, we're in Long Island,

which is an hour and 20 from the city.

Three hours with traffic.

Probably not gonna have time for that,

but next time you come, for sure.

- Yeah.

- Your father, is he here?

No, he's actually coming in tomorrow.

You know, work, work, work, right?

All right.

Looking forward to meeting the man.

Uh, room service is open till ten o'clock.

So enjoy that, guys. Great to meet you!

I played Linus and Sarah was Lucy.

That was tenth grade.

I remember that show. You were very good.

Wasn't he, Sarah?

They would rehearse right in her bedroom,

for hours on end!

Is that all you did?

Stop it, Iris. Please.

It's ancient history, just like he said.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

Jesus Christ, he is so pathetic.

I can't stand him.

He just won't leave.

His parents aren't even here now.

Do you want me to bang him?

'Cause I would totally bang him

if it would help just get him away

for a while.

It's okay.

Think about it.

Okay, so we have to decide what song

you're gonna come out to, okay?

I know.

It's like, we gotta do choreography,

we have to...

Oh, my God!

Um, my number four premolar

is a little sensitive to cold.

- Can you help me?

- I'm so happy you're here.

Of course. Are you calm?

Have you been reading Bad Feminist?

Yes, thank you, and I feel like

a better bad feminist for it.

Hi, I'm Robin.

- Oh, hi.

- My BFF.

This is Emily and Danielle from school.

- Hi, we've heard so much about you.

- Yes. So many stories.

It's so nice to meet you two.

It's good you're here.

This one could really use

some love right now.

Oh, no.

It's nothing,

especially with you guys here early.

- You are so tall in those shoes.

- Aw.

Guys, I've seen her in her dress already.

She is gorgeous

and she was just

so worried to me about it.

Aw, I can't wait to see it.

Oh, so we were talking

about the reception

and what song we should come out to

when we're introduced.

Oh, like one of those corny YouTube thing?

- It'll be fun.

- Right?

Um, so, our friend Kelly suggested

"Party Rock," LMFAO.

- Oh, that's lively.

- But I suggested Journey.

You know, "Don't Stop Believin'"?

My God, that is perfect.

See?

It's so obvious and so amazingly overdone.

Yeah, that would be hilarious.

That's a good one, Robin.

Showing us that he can play center field.

He's showing that.

I think he's doing

a pretty good job there.

He's okay out there.

And obviously, I mean,

he's starting to hit again.

Mmm. I can't believe

she's getting married.

I remember when you used to drive her

around on her paper route

'cause she was afraid to ride her bike

in the street.

Yeah.

Jeddy is so excited to DJ the wedding.

Aren't you, Jeddy?

I hear you're quite the DJ, young man.

They said he had to do it.

So you could save money.

Come on, Noah. No, he doesn't mean that.

Yes, he does.

Oh, listen. You don't have to do it

if you don't want to.

He wants to do it.

I don't! Not at some stupid wedding!

Noah! You see what you did?

Thanks for having Noah.

It's so nice

they let him out of rehab for the week.

Oh, yeah. Gotta have Noah. Love the boy.

Yeah. They said he can stay at your house

with special instructions.

Wait, you're staying with us?

I mean, 'cause that's phenomenal.

I told you that.

I know you did. I know you did.

I'm gonna call home, make sure

that everything is perfect for you.

How're we supposed to have them here?

Please, fill me in.

Yeah, so they'll stay

in Isaac's room. Right?

And Isaac will move to Rose's room.

That's great.

Yeah, but Noah? How did this happen?

Did Jay tell you and you forgot about it?

Yes, yes. It's gonna be great.

I gotta go.

Right. Of course. Yeah, sure, sure.

Ah, not as excited as these guys are, huh?

Yeah, no, we'll be home soon.

The traffic's not so bad.

I love...

What is the, uh... What's happening?

The... Is she still...

That's weird. Let me...

Ah, honey? Are you still there?

Uh, yeah. Hello?

Who's this?

This is Marvin.

I'm a cousin of the groom.

You said to call

if there was any problems.

Yeah, it's pretty much since we got here.

Now it's worse.

We get it fixed very soon.

Oh, why not now, pal?

There is some work being done

in Executive Suite directly above.

- That's my dad's room?

- Yes.

It's possibly possible

this work may have caused the leak.

The cutting into the ceiling.
