Oh, yeah, they're in my pocket.

Oh, I had a little dust-up

No, you overdid it.

Don't you see?

You look too good for me.

People are gonna know it's a setup.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

What did you want me to do?

Come in my work clothes?

No, no, we don't have time now.

Thank you.

She didn't notice us at the church,

now she's gone. She's just gone.

We tussle a little bit...

There she is.

Then the sea lion lets me go.

Thirty seconds later, I resurface.

And he's killing over there.

What's the game plan here?

This whole depressed energy

is not getting the job done.

- I can't compete with him, all right?

- I don't care.

And to this day, you can't say

my name around Jose Canseco.

I know.

Give me your hand.

What?

Come on.

Boogie wonderland

She's looking.

You positive she saw us?

Yes.

She just looked over here.

Laugh.

What?

Laugh like we're really having fun.

Okay, take it down.

I'm gonna throw up.

No, no, no, it's okay.

Just keep...

Don't look... Turn away...

Oh, God, I just sucked in a fuzz.

Are you okay?

Okay, everybody,

I know tonight isn't about me,

but my beautiful girlfriend,

Stephanie, and I

recently won

a ballroom dancing competition.

I hardly had any lessons,

but I'm wicked athletic

and like I said, we won.

In honor of the bride and groom,

we'd like to perform our dance.

Get up.

This is our song.

This is my song with Stephanie.

No, it couldn't be.

I We got it together, didn't we? I

Are you sure?

Yes.

No. No.

Okay, this is definitely

the song, then.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

It's a very popular song.

Maybe she is thinking about you.

Nobody but you

I'll Wait.

And me

We've got it together, baby

I don't believe this.

This is a clear statement.

It's premeditated, very definitive.

She knew exactly what she was doing.

This is definitely on purpose.

We are...

Okay, okay.

My first, my last

My everything

Can you do any of that?

No.

Okay, you're gonna do it.

We're gonna do it.

We're gonna do it.

Oh, man, they're good.

He's lifting her.

How did they... ? Wait.

They practiced, I have a dress on.

Wait. I can do this one.

Hold me, grab me.

Have you got me?

You know what? I have you.

No one's looking. Get off.

Thank you, thank you.

All right, freestyle.

Whoo!

Well, that was really great.

They're, like, the perfect couple.

Hold on a sec.

This is our song.

Come on. Come on.

that the female eagle

is attracted to the male

I've paid my dues to make it

Everybody wants me to be

What they want me to be

Griffin.

I'm so sorry and I'm gonna

reimburse you for everything.

Don't sweat it.

The ice sculpture was her mother's idea.

How is Robin's leg?

Oh, she's fine.

It was more of a pull than a tear.

I hit her so flush.

She just went with the fall.

The legs were:

Agile.

Yeah, she's bendy.

Don't worry about it. Relax.

All right. Thanks, bro.

Listen.

I don't know what you're trying

to prove with all your ribbons

and your fancy moves,

but what do you say

you just back the hell off?

And what do you say we drop the

moves and we settle this like men?

Okay.

Huh?

Come on, let's go.

I haven't beaten anybody since my birthday.

Wh... Uh...

What's up? We gonna do this?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

It's attack position.

Man, it's gotta suck to be you.

Attack.

Griffin's phone. Go for Bernie.

- I split my pants.

- I'm putting you on speaker.

So how's it going?

What part of "split my pants" don't you get?

My butt's hanging out.

I took out an ice sculpture,

Gale got in my face, it's a mess.

Griffin, if you wanna

give up, I get you.

He's not giving up.

Okay.

Don't back down from that guy.

You get in his face,

make him back down.

As far as the girl goes,

you keep her off balance.

You insult her. That's right.

You make her feel bad.

Then you compliment her.

You knock her down,

you bring her up.

When she seems interested,

walk away.

Throw poop at her.

That's how I met Karen.

You can do this.

- Go.

- Close the deal, Griffin.

Throw the poop.

I'm doing this.

What's up, puppy-breath?

What?

Just saying looking good,

freckle-chest, yeah.

Man, I am hungry.

Ooh. Target sighted.

Griffin, what's going on?

Four words:

I need dessert, go.

God, you're beautiful.

I am?

Yeah, but you're still here.

Oh, dessert, go...

Okay, I'm going.

Thanks, boss.

Whoa, guy, back for more?

Does she talk about me?

Sorry?

Does she mention me?

Does the thought of what

Steph and I had haunt you?

You know, keep you up at night?

You mean the way

you flamed down?

Do we laugh every time we see a

couple riding a horse on a beach?

Oh, yeah.

Not that specifically.

Every time we see

an engagement ring,

a whiskey bottle with a note in it, a

mariachi band, horse stables or sand.

We laugh until we can't breathe.

And then we make out

hard.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

Your name's Gale.

What?

You have a woman's name.

No.

No, Gale like Gale Sayers,

the football player.

You wish.

Perfume and teddy bears.

Daddy must have wanted a girl

so he named you Gale.

Watch it.

Oh, sorry, Gale, you're a female.

Hey, man, you better back off.

Want me to back off, Crystal Gayle?

You got problems, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Not in the mood, hammer thumbs.

Griffin, gone.

J' Shake your booty N

We're leaving.

Okay.

So tell me everything.

What was with the robot moves?

I don't know, I panicked.

I also ripped my pants

and cried a little. it's a blur.

That was so fun.

Can we please do this

every weekend?

Just show up at weddings and trash the place?

Because we are good.

You know, forget good, we're great.

And we're bigger than weddings.
