[ Continues ]

- A pair figure-skating.

- Very good.

- And that's all.

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

Do one more, please, please,

please, please, please.

Okay. Okay.

But this is not a sport.

This is an entirely

different event altogether.

[ Growls ]

- [ Grunts ]

- [ Knuckles Crack]

[ Gasps ]

- [ Giggling ] Do it.

- [ Mumbling In High-pitched Voice ]

[ Continues, Indistinct]

- [ Crying ]

- [ Laughs ]

- I'm so happy.

- [ Laughs ] What is it?.

- Oh. Thankyou.

- I haven't a clue.

- Miss Mouse America.

- Get out ofhere. [ Laughing ]

I feel great.

After today,

I will be through with this bet.

I'll have the cabin.

I'll have the Picasso.

But best ofall,

I will have the girl.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm gonna have to write Ned a thank-you note.

I'm not gonna call off

the engagement with Veronica.

I'm not gonna rush it either.

A couple ofyears down the line

when a little Taylor sounds like a good idea...

we'll tie the knot.

I really love this girl.

- [Veronica Whoops ] Taulor, stop that.

- [TaulorLaughs ]

Huh. Let's sit here.

Yeah. Ah.

Why do I have a feeling

it's time for a serious talk?.

You know me pretty well.

See, it's just that, um--

- Ahh.

- Taylor, you're neryous.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you are.

You're my favorite person.

Oh, boy. Oh, God.

Oh.

You know, all mulife, I was convinced

I was responsible for mu own happiness.

I could never depend on anyone else

to give it to me.

But I was wrong.

You've given it to me.

Come on. Sit down.

Veronica, marry me.

Marryyou?.

[ Laughs ]

I can't marryyou. I thought

you wanted to move in together.

I do and have kids

and grow old.

Yeah, well, I'd wanna try it out first.

Live together for a few months...

- see how we get along.

- How we get along?.

How we... get along?.

You do the mouse Olympics

with everyone?.

- I think there's more to

marriage than mouse Olympics.

- Yeah. So do I.

There's a lot more.

There's caring.

Veronica, I care aboutyou very much.

You make me laugh at myself.

You know whatyou have?.

- Uh-uh.

- You have my heart.

Anduou know what?

I don't wantuou to let go.

I wanna have terrible fights with you

and know that you're not going anywhere--

or that I'm not going anywhere.

I wanna pick things out

with you and buy them.

I wanna-- You know what, I wanna--

[ Shouts ] I want a commitment.

[ Gasps ]

Make one with me.

Oh, my God. I've been

swept off my feet.

- Is that a yes?.

- Yes. Yes!

I wanna marryyou... now.

Today.

[ Chuckles ] Well, how about

sometime this month?.

I gotta tell her about the bet.

Pretty ironic, huh?.

Same thing that got me into this

could take it all away.

Poetic justice

doesn't feel so good.

That was nice.

We're here.

Veronica, I've done some things

in my past I'm not proud of.

- Well, I don't wanna hear about 'em.

- Yeah, yeah.

But, see, there's this one thing

in myvery recent past.

Something I realize in retrospect--

[ Muffled ] wasn't very nice.

Something that involved

a few innocent people.

Something that now that my,

um, single days are behind me...

I realize was not very nice.

- Areyou planning on doing it again?.

- No.

- Areyou a criminal?.

- God, no.

- Then don't tell me.

- Thereyou have it.

However, you better

marry me soon...

- like before I seeyour face on the post office wall.

- How about Saturday?.

I have to be at Claire's in three hours.

I'm meeting that Eleanor lady.

I think I could

squeeze in a blood test.

- Mmm. Do me a favor.

- What?.

Let's wait. Tell Ned

and Claire together.

You're right. They'd probably

never believe just one of us.

[ Engine Starts ]

[Dog Barking In Distance ]

- Good weekend, huh?.

- Mmm.

- Are we talking girl in love here?.

- Yes.

But I'm not supposed to say anything about it.

I promised him I wouldn't.

- Areyou moving in with him?.

- I can't tell you.

- Areyou getting married?.

- I'm not supposed to tell you.

- Oh, my God.

- [ Squealing ]

- [ Squealing ]

- [ Laughing ]

Is he a great lay?.

- Oh.

- As a matter offact, he is.

- Oh.

- Well, so. Good.

I had a chance

to marry a great lay once.

But I-I didn't.

I married Howard Sr.

The richest, sweetest, most appropriate person

I could find.

And for 1 2 years I managed

to go through life...

as-as if the rest

didn't matter to me.

And then I met this man.

How he everfound me

I have no idea.

But he knew exactlywhat I needed,

and he gave it to me.

And he still gives it me

and gives it to me and gives it to me.

And I can't think of

anything else.

- Who knew?.

- [ Giggles ] Enough about me.

- W-What's your fella like?.

- Oh, well--

- [ ChildrenArguing]

- Excuse me.

[ Child]

Give me it. It's mine.

- It's mine.

- What's going on here?.

She put a tape on.

Ada said we should never do that.

- I wanna see MaryPoppins.

- You do?

That's not MaryPoppins

and you're gonna get a time-out.

- You're gonna get a time-out too.

- Are not.

- Are too.

- Are not.

- Quiet, kids.

Go to your room.

Go to your room.

- [Taulor] Willuou marryme?

- [Woman Squealing]

[TaulorLaughing]

Was that aues?

- Can I hear that precious word?.

- Oh. Oh. Oh, yes, Taylor.

I will marryyou.

- That's myTaylor.

- That's myTaylor.

- Take me, Taylor.

- That's herTaylor.

Ned. Ned.

Not only am I one-third ofthe way

to teaching you a lesson and winning this bet...

but tonight, I willbe

luing with the gods.

Ned.

- What?.

- Wedding?.

- Wedding.

Saint James Chapel.

2:
00. Saturday.

Cigar? Cigar.

Right.

You're not getting the painting.

No tape, no painting.

Ned, I cannot believe

how immatureyou are being.

Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

Doyou expect me to showyou a tape ofthe

woman I love accepting my proposal?.

- Ifyou want the painting.

- Painting?. Painting?. It's not about a painting.

It's about human beings.

It's not about a stupidbet.

People.

[ Sighs ]

I'm ashamed ofthat bet.

It's contemptible. Really.

Plauing with people's lives

that wau.

You should all be ashamed.

Especiallyyou, Ned.

Well, I--

I never thought you'd win.

Win?.

That's not the point.

The point is I am out. Out.

- You're serious?.

- Yes.

- You're really gonna marry her?.

- Yes, I am.

Forget the bet.

Good man.

- I still get my $400 though, right?.

- All bets are off.

Hey. What about Erin

and Eleanor?.

I'll handle it.

- Hey, Taylor. How areyou?.

- How areyou, Harry?.

Tracy. Thanks.

Seeyou tomorrow.

It's Wednesday,

and everything's working out just great.

Tomorrow I'm going to have

one last lunch with Erin.

She'll call offthe wedding by dessert.

Trust me.

By Friday, Eleanor should

get this letter.

I told her it was time to put her passion

back into her marriage.

Marriage. I'm getting married

to Veronica on Saturday.

[ Giggles ]

God.

Did you ever think it was going to

work out this well?.

[ Laughs ]
