You Again Page #2

- Oh, you scared me!

- There he is!

- Come here!

Ridgefield's legal golden boy!

- Look at you. You look gorgeous.

- Thank you.

Can you believe this? Because, Marni,

it wasn't that long ago, you remember?

We were kids up in that tree house,

swearing we'd never get married.

- Hm-hm.

- I guess some things change, huh?

- I'm counting on it.

- Is that my little mover and shaker?

- Oh, baby.

- Hi, Daddy! Hi.

Oh, my gosh, you look great!

You're so thin!

I have lost a couple of pounds.

Thank you for noticing.

- You look fantastic.

- Thanks.

Joanna's back. Your mom wants

everyone downstairs. Chop-chop!

One of those. Off to the side.

And, while rolling, it is

so crucial to have one inch wide

and nine inches in length.

And you finish itjust like that.

Oh...

- You are a culinary wonder.

- Hey, hey. Look who I found.

Marni, Marni, Marni.

Look at you!

- You are so beautiful!

- Thank you?

Do you know that I have waited

so long for this moment?

It's finally here.

You think you waited long? 'Cause I...

- There's just so much to say.

- Believe me, I know.

But I don't want to do it

in front of them.

But first, let me just say

- how nice it is to finally...

- It's OK.

...meet you!

- Excuse me?

- Will has told me so much about you,

but now here you are! I cannot

wait to spend the next four days

learning all about my

brand-new sister! Hugsies!

- Oh, never mind.

- Yeah.

The salad looks good.

There he is!

Coco Puff! Come here, buddy!

Oh, Coco Puff! Come to Mommy!

- Yeah! That's my boy.

- Coco Puff, dinner time.

Joanna, I'm not sure I feel comfortable

starting dinner without your aunt.

- I think it's very rude.

- Oh, no, no, no.

Don't worry about Aunt Mona.

She's just running late.

- OK. You ready, honey?

- Ready!

All right. Batter up.

I'm sorry, are we executing Dad tonight?

You know how your father's

always been so interested

in the whole mind-body connection?

And since we can't have Will's

best man looking fat on Saturday...

- That's right.

- You do not look fat!

I'm trying the Yamaguchi diet.

A colleague at the hospital

told me about it.

Most people don't realize

when they're full.

They need an empty plate to tell them.

Scientific fact:

When you wear a blindfold,

you rely on your stomach.

I've already lost six pounds.

And where did you go to medical school?

- Ben!

- Well, I think it's

a very smart way to stay fit.

- Thank you, Joanna.

- Mm-hmm.

Let's eat!

Wow.

So, uh, how did you two meet?

We were at this little

karaoke bar at the beach,

and Will was onstage

doing his best Hall & Oates.

- Not my finest moment.

- Really?

- No, it wasn't.

- Ben.

He was so cute, I just had to save him.

So I got onstage

and we sang it together.

- And she has been saving me ever since.

- That's right.

You know, I just think it's unbelievable

that in a small town like Ridgefield,

Will and Joanna could grow up

practically down the block

from each other

and not run into each other until now.

It's funny, isn't it?

It's hilarious!

Isn't it? I mean, that

our paths haven't crossed till now?

- Isn't that funny?

- Yeah. It's so funny!

Weird. So, Marni, Will tells me

that you work for this

big, fancy PR firm in LA?

Guilty. Actually, since you

mentioned it, I have news.

- I got a promotion.

- What?

And I am now VP of our

New York office. And I was...

- A promotion in New York?

- Yes.

Oh, honey, congratulations!

That's fantastic!

- We're so proud of you!

- That is awesome.

You get to meet real celebrities?

Like, that is really cool!

You know, enough about me.

I'm dying to know

what you're doing. You know?

I mean, what have you been up to?

- My life is dull by comparison.

- Oh, I doubt it.

I'm sure you keep itjust as interesting

as you did in high school, right?

I mean, I'd love to hear how your

wonderful life has turned out.

- Well, um...

- Yeah.

Yeah. After my parents died,

I took a hard look at my life,

and realized I wasn't

really making the right choices.

So I enrolled in nursing school,

and I decided to focus all of my energy

into helping those less fortunate.

Wow. Good... Good for you.

No, "good" doesn't even

begin to describe it.

Yeah, I kind of became obsessed

with helping people in need.

Well, since, Will and I love children.

...as an entry-level RN, they

promoted me to head clinical nurse.

I tried to put in a good word.

She wouldn't let me.

- Oh, Dad.

- Oh, Dad.

Between the hospital...

Yeah, it, actually...

It helps build the self-esteem of...

Let's be honest, you can only

run a suicide hotline so long

before it starts to take its toll.

- Do you still have that number?

- Ben!

Oh, my gosh, I have been

talking about myselfway too much.

- No, no, no. Baby, it's fine. Trust me.

- I, for one,

had no idea you were such a...

giver.

I know, right? I'm so proud of her.

I'm so proud to call you my bride.

Oh! Bride! He said it again!

Gail! He's getting married! I know!

- I really need a refill.

- He has been saying bride.

- Today, I think it's 16...

- Anybody need anything?

- How many more days?

- Does anybody want anything?

- Of course we will. But...

- Great.

Oh, my gosh!

The Lambada!

Jeez, Mom, you scared me!

- So that Joanna's pretty great, right?

- Yeah, almost too good to be true.

I think so, too.

I think it's her sweetness.

You know, her genuine warmth.

- Uh, where is the recycling?

- Oh! Come with me, please.

There's the recycling, and...

Wow, this looks beautiful.

- Maybe Joanna could sleep out here.

- Marni.

Listen. How come you

didn't mention New York?

I'm really proud of you.

That's fantastic.

Thank you. I don't know.

I think I've just been preoccupied

with the whole... Joanna thing, and...

Don't you think it's odd

that she doesn't remember me?

Ridgefield High was not that big.

I don't remember half the people

I went to high school with.

Yeah, but you're Gail Byer.

Everyone loved you.

You can't relate to what I went through.

Really? You wanna bet?

Listen, nobody gets through

high school unscathed, Marni. Nobody.

You didn't tell me

you had problems in high school.

Because what's past is past.

Look, if you had a problem with Joanna

in the past, you can fix it now.

Remember...

- Everyone deserves a second chance.

- deserves a second chance. I know.

Joanna's Aunt Mona is here!

I can't believe my

little Joanna's getting married.

- I know. It's crazy, right?

- I'm so happy for you.

Come meet the family. Aunt Mona...

...this is Will's sister, Marni.

- What a pleasure.

- Nice to meet you.

And this is Will's mom.

- Gail?

- Ramona.

Whoa! You guys know each other?

- Gail!

- Ramona!

How long has it been?

Well, don't tell, or I'll have

to strangle you.

- Who can remember?

- How do you two know each other?

- Uh... we went to school together.

- We were best friends.

- Whoa!

- Very, very close.

Wow. You look... great.

- Stop.

- No, no, really.

You look amazing.
