It cost a fortune! Don't...

Don't do it. Just... Marni?

One less thank-you note to send.

You are so gonna regret that.

I always wished I was

strong enough to stand up to you.

But you know what I

finally realized today?

I don't need to stand up to you.

It's not worth it.

You're a liar, and you're a phony.

My family's better offwithout you.

Will is better offwithout you.

I'm done with you. My feet hurt.

- Yeah!

- Stop it!

What are you doing, Joanna?

I came back in here to see if you

were OK. I was concerned about you.

I was worried about you,

but from the looks of it,

I would say that you are more than

capable of taking care of yourself.

I just can't believe

that I fell for that.

That whole Meals on Wheels,

Mother Teresa act.

You are so good, and I'm so stupid

because I fully believed you!

I thought I knew exactly

who you were. Do you know that?

- You do know who I am, Will! You do!

- Yes, Joanna, I do know who you are.

You're a bully.

You're a liar. You are...

- An emotional terrorist!

- You stay out of this, Marni!

Do you know that you are

just as much to blame?

- No, Will, I needed to...

- No... No! Stop talking to me!

Going behind my back,

helping to orchestrate this thing,

how could you do that to me?

How could you do that to me?

What is wrong with both of you?

I'm sorry, Will. I'm sorry.

I never meant to hurt you.

I wanted to tell you the truth

about who I was back then. I swear.

You don't get it, do you?

No, you don't get it.

You still don't get it. No, because I

don't care who you were in high school.

I don't care that you were engaged.

I don't care about anything!

I care that you lied to me about it!

You lied to me!

You lied to me. And who was

I supposed to be marrying tomorrow?

Now, who is that? Is that the girl

that I sang karaoke with on the beach?

'Cause I liked that girl.

I liked that girl so much.

Or the warden of Ridgefield High School?

Wait! Will, please don't!

Please! Wait!

You have been playing me since

the moment you walked in my house.

- Playing you?

- Why? What happened between us?

- Tell me.

- You honestly don't remember?

I remember everything!

You don't remember

that we were best friends,

and then all through high school,

every single time,

- I was runner-up to you?

- Runner-up to me?

- Ramona, it wasn't a competition.

- Of course it wasn't.

- You always won.

- I won because they voted for me!

Do you remember cheerleading?

You made me try out.

You got on the squad.

I got laughed out the door.

Oh, come on. You were great!

Oh, please. And let's

not forget about Grease.

You knew how badly

I wanted to be Sandy.

But no, of course

you just had to audition.

I always wanted to be

in a musical, Ramona. Always.

Oh, please. You don't even sing.

You were already prom queen.

You were already head cheerleader.

Drama was supposed to be mine.

But no, you didn't think about me.

All you cared about,

when you got to high school, was you.

Oh, what was I supposed to do, Ramona?

Slow down so you could catch up?

- That's mean.

- Don't push me.

Don't you...

Are you insane?

After all that, you stole

Richie Phillips from me!

Richie Phillips? From high school?

- I was in love with him!

- You were in love with him?

And you went to the prom with him.

- He asked me, Ramona!

- You were my friend.

You were supposed to say no!

That's when I knew

I could never count on you.

I promised myself I would never let

anyone make me feel the way you did.

You know what? I should thank you.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have worked so hard,

and I wouldn't have

achieved what I have-.

Well, good for you.

Oh, come off it. It just

makes you crazy that I've...

that I've done all this

and that I look so good.

You know what, Ramona?

Honestly, I'm proud of you.

I am proud of what

you've accomplished in your life.

I think you've done amazingly.

But my family is my accomplishment.

So I'm not jealous of you.

I have a family.

They love me. I'm happy!

Well, happiness isn't everything.

OK, I'm outta here.

I was jealous. You had it all.

You were pretty, you were smart,

everyone wanted to be your friend.

Just seeing you the other night

with all your family just...

...reminded me of...

My marriages haven't worked out,

and Joanna's all I have.

Now, you want to take her away too.

And I knew that would happen

as soon as I found out

that she was marrying your son.

I'm sorry, Ramona. Honestly.

And I should have been

a better friend, obviously.

I knew what I was doing.

I was so busy

being Gail Byer

and everything that that meant.

I just... I was insensitive.

I wasn't a good friend. And I'm sorry.

I can't believe I got

a makeover because of you.

- You did?

- Of course I did!

I almost got hair extensions.

Your hair flips around,

and I was jealous.

Oh, I'm so glad.

I feel like I can breathe again.

Really? I can't breathe!

I'm underwater!

What is going on out here?

I'm very disappointed

with the behavior I saw tonight.

Now:
I don't pretend

to have the slightest clue

about how things work in the girl world.

To be perfectly honest,

it frightens and confuses me.

But here's what I do know.

A wedding is a time

for a family to come together.

But, for whatever reason, this wedding

is tearing our family apart.

Willis missing.

Ramona's out searching

the streets for Joanna.

This weekend is a disaster.

And I. for one, have had it.

You two are completely out of Control.

But nothing!

You're grounded. Go to your rooms.

What is it, Coco Puff?

What is it?

Oh, no.

No

Joanna don't do it, Don't...

Joanna. put down the spray cheese.

It's not worth it.

There are so many carbs.

Oh, what difference does it make?

It's not like

I'm getting married anymore.

I am an awful person.

Hey, remember me?

I'm the one who ruined

your rehearsal dinner.

- Think I'm the awful person.

- Oh, Marni, stop. Just...

.Just stop apologizing.

Ugh I deserved it.

I deserve all of it!

Hey! OK, wait. Joanna.

Hand that over Give her here.

Why don't We share?

Hey that's nice

Let's see. Looks... Ooh, it looks good.

That's right, we can share that.

Looks good

I just spent so many years,

so many years trying to

distance myself from the person I was.

I just wanted to be a person

my parents were proud of, you know?

Hey.

I'm sure your parents

would be very proud of you

Ye-ah, they would've

been proud of me

if I would've apologized to you the

moment you walked through that door.

I just didnt want Will

or your parents to know

how awful I was back them.

I love them all so much.

And it's been such a long time

since I've had a real family.

I just didnt wanna lose them.

I panicked.

You panicked? I freaked out.

I went all... Marni dearest on you guys.

You're never gonna lose them.

They adore you.

You fit into my family better than I do.

Oh that's not true.

But I think the reason why they love me

is because they really miss you.
