Hello...?
Anybody...?
Big news!
I'm gonna marry Mia!
( water running ) Hey, Alan!
I'm in the shower.
Guess what I'm gonna do with Mia.
Guess what I'm already doing with Kandi.
That's not fair, Alan,
you have to give him a hint.
He doesn't need a hint.
Well, then how's he supposed to guess?
Oh, well.
Oh, a place to hang my wash cloth.
* Men, men, men, men, manly men, men, men *
* Ah. * Men. * Men.
is that the price should equal three months salary.
Ouch.
Wonder what broad came up with that?
It wasn't a broad, it was a marketing scheme
dreamed up by the international diamond cartel.
Probably a bunch of chicks.
But at least diamonds are forever, right?
Oh, yeah, forever.
My ex-wife still has hers.
Meanwhile, I'm wearing mismatched socks
from the irregular bin.
Well, Mia and I are going to go the distance--
15, maybe 20 years.
That's not the distance.
The distance is death.
Hey, if I'm still married after 20 years, kill me.
I can't believe you're doing this at all.
Why not?
Why shouldn't someone like me
settle down with a wife and kids?
Boy, I don't know where to start.
That's the old Charlie you're thinking of.
Oh, okay.
And to whom am I speaking now?
May I help you, gentlemen? Yeah.
We're looking for an engagement ring.
How nice.
Do you have anything in mind?
Ah...
Nothing ostentatious.
Something in a brilliant cut,
perhaps with complementary baguettes.
Size isn't as important as color and clarity.
Well, someone knows what he wants.
What can I say?
He's my life.
* Men...
So basically, I asked her to marry me
and she said yes.
Huh.
What do you think about that, Jake?
Good.
That's it? Good?
It's not good?
No, it's good.
That's what I said.
All right, I'm full.
He wears his little heart on his sleeve, doesn't he?
Ah, it's my own fault.
I should've known better than to talk to him at feeding time.
( knocking on door )
Charlie, I need to speak to you.
I'll be right out, Rose.
Did you tell her?
Of course not.
Would you? No.
I'll let you be my best man.
You mean I'm not?
Well, you're on the short list,
but this could cinch it.
Come on, Charlie, that woman
has been obsessed with you for years.
She's gonna find out about your engagement sooner or later.
Let it come from you.
Yeah, I guess.
Besides, she has a boyfriend now.
She probably won't even care. Probably not.
So why won't you tell her?
Because if I want my eyebrows shaved,
I'll shave them myself.
Hey, Rosey Rose.
What's up, Rosey Rose?
Gordon dumped me.
Oh, damn it to hell.
I know, it's awful.
How could he do this?
He said he couldn't be with me anymore
knowing that I'm still in love with you.
Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Listen, Rose...
there's something I have to tell you.
Is it good news?
I could use some good news.
Well...
you remember Mia?
Yeah. Ugh.
Don't tell me you're dating her again.
No, no, no. We're not dating.
Good. 'Cause I always thought she was kind of a head case.
( chuckling )
Look, the thing is I'm gonna kind of marry her.
Rose?
Did you hear me?
I heard you.
You're going to marry Mia.
So...
are you okay?
Sure.
Why wouldn't I be okay?
Well, I-I-I was afraid the news
might come as a bit of a shock to you.
Afraid? There's nothing to be afraid of, Charlie.
You're my friend.
Where are you going?
I have things to do.
What kind of things? Things.
Good-bye, Charlie.
Hello, Alan.
Hello.
Did she just use the front door?
Uh-huh.
She's never used the front door before.
Nuh-uh.
What happened out there?
Well, I-I told her I was going to marry Mia,
and I think I could actually see her medication stop working.
Whoa.
What do you think she's going to do?
The question isn't what, it's when...
and how I'm going to enjoy my honeymoon
with my testicles glued to my ass crack.
* Men...
That's a pretty wedding gown.
Oh, yeah.
I could probably crawl under there during the reception
and no one would have a clue.
Well, you would.
Stop.
I don't think you'd say that.
Isn't it beautiful?
You know, they say you're supposed to spend
three months salary, but I went four.
Because I'm worth it?
No, actually, I had a slow first quarter.
Hey, my dad called today.
He wants to take your family out for a nice dinner.
Yeah, well, tell him
he can have one or the other, but not both.
Come on, Charlie,
they're going to have to meet sooner or later.
Okay, but why don't we wait for a real happy occasion?
What's happier than a wedding?
Well, my mother's funeral springs to mind.
There'll be music, dancing,
my mom will be in a box.
That's a gorgeous wedding cake.
It's okay. I'm not big
on having the little action figures on top.
They kind of creep me out.
They're traditional.
Hey, this is our wedding.
We can do whatever we want.
We don't even have to have cake.
We can have... pie.
A wedding pie?
Well, we'll probably need more than one.
You know, so everybody gets some crust.
Alan, what do you think about a wedding with no cake?
No cake?
Where would you put the little bride and groom?
I can think of one place.
Charlie, if you're going to do a wedding, do it right.
Thank you, Alan.
You're welcome. Oh, which reminds me...
I just found my old wedding folder
and guess what was in it?
The claim check for your manhood?
As I was saying, it's all here,
everything you could possibly need for your big day--
from paper samples for your announcements
to selected verses of romantic poetry
well-suited for wedding vows.
And you wonder why people think you're gay.
Oh, shush.
Now you're talking cake,
but we are light-years away from cake.
First, we have to discuss the budget,
the venue, how many guests,
is it going to be a sit- down dinner or a buffet?
Then you need to hire a photographer
and a videographer, then a florist.
Have you even thought about flowers?
Well, lilies are nice.
Oh, lilies are perfect
if the bride and groom are recently deceased.
But I like lilies.
Mia, we will never get through this if you don't focus.
Uh, now...
wedding party.
Bridesmaids, what are they wearing?
I suggest an unflattering style in a hideous color,
because after all, this is your day.
Oh, oh, and before I forget,
although it's not politically correct to throw rice,
if you throw birdseed, you run the risk
of your wedding ending like a Hitchcock movie.
What kind of pie did you have in mind?
Well, look who's here, the bride of Drunkenstein.
Wow, that's quite a rock.
You know what we call babes
with rings like that in my neighborhood?
Stumpy.
What are you looking at me for?
Just stay out of her neighborhood.
That was uncomfortable.
No,
sand in my urethra is uncomfortable.
That meal was a freaking disaster.
I'm going to stay with my family,
try and calm my mother down.
The miserable bitch.
Your family hates me, don't they?
Not just you.
I'll call you later.
Do you believe your future mother-in-law?
Shows up at a four-star restaurant wearing a track suit
with the word "juicy" stretched across her half-acre ass.
I can read, Mom.
Can we go back? I forgot my doggie bag.
We can never go back, Jake.
Oh, come on, it's not the end of the world.
Easy for you to say,
you're not marrying into the Addams family.
Oh, like you were a prize.
Slipping a prenuptial agreement into my fiancee's menu?!
I am just trying to protect you
from being wiped out by a vindictive ex-wife
who will use your hard-earned money
to finance her frivolous life of partying and shopping
and unnecessary plastic surgery.
Um, Mom...?
Every one of my surgeries was necessary.
And if I had signed a prenup,
you would never have gone to music camp...
and Alan would have an overbite
you could use to open a can of Pennzoil.
I didn't know Mia's last name was Addams.
I didn't know her sister's a cop.
Was a cop.
Now she's a dry drunk with a grudge and a .38.
Well, I liked her.
Well, that's because she had the same haircut as you.
I was a little shocked
that her father stuck you with the bill.
You know why you noticed that?
Because the two of you practically trampled each other
trying to get to the men's room
when you saw the waiter bringing it.
I drank a lot of iced tea.
Well, I had a very nice time.
Sure. You got to inform my bride-to-be
and her entire family
that you had sex with me before you had sex with him.
I was just telling Mia I know how lucky she is.
Nevertheless, honey, it was not an appropriate toast.
Juicy-pants almost choked to death on her lamb shank.
Well, in all fairness,
the woman was stuffing her face like a musket.
All I can say is, after tonight's little fiasco,
I'm going to have to completely rethink
the seating chart for the wedding.
Yeah, well, it won't be that complicated.
Why not?
Because none of you are invited.
* Men...
Well, Mom, if you wear an animal-print track suit
to a nice restaurant, people are gonna make comments.
I agree. Calling you "a cougar with arm fat"
was over the line.
( knocking )
Hang on.
Hello, Mia.
I'll call you back.
* Men...
You don't think Mia's gonna turn into her mother, do you?
I wouldn't worry about it.
Yeah.
What I would worry about
is you turning her into our mother.
Thanks for ruining my wedding night, Dr. Freud.
Hey, hey, don't set the bar too high for the wedding night.
What're you talking about?
Well, it's a long, stressful day.
You'll be exhausted,
full of banquet food and cheap champagne.
Take my advice.
Tell her you love her,
give her a big kiss and try to fall asleep
with your ass pointed toward an open window.
You, sir, have the heart of a poet.
I am merely the voice of smelly experience.
Well, let me ask you this.
I know things didn't end well with you and Judith,
but overall, did you, did you like being married?
Oh, I loved being married.
You never missed having sex with other women?
Sure. But I missed that before I got married, too.
What I loved was the idea of having someone
that I could always turn to,
someone who, who, who cared about me,
someone who'd always stand by me through thick and thin.
It does sound nice.
Yeah. So does Disneyland.
Yet every day people stagger off those giant tea cups
covered in vomit.
But you'd... you'd do it again?
What can I say?
Marriage is a great ride...
till you puke.
Good night.
( knocking )
MIA: Charlie!?
Mia?
Your friend Rose was just at my apartment.
Ohh...
So, how'd that go?
She was wearing a bridal gown.
She's planning on wearing it to our
wedding and she wanted me to know so we wouldn't clash.
Well, that's kinda thoughtful, isn't it?
I'm not finished.
She wanted to give me a shower.
An engagement shower?
An actual soap- and-water shower.
Ohh...
I don't want her at my wedding.
Hey, I don't want her in my zip code.
But she's a close friend.
Charlie.
All right, all right, all right.
I'll tell you what...
I'll cross Rose off the guest list
if you dump that pistol- packin' hermaphrodite
you call a sister.
She's my maid of honor, the gun is registered
and she's taking hormones.
While we're pruning the guest list,
what about your mother?
Done. She's out. Now your mother.
It's not the same thing. You would've
thrown your mother overboard for free.
I don't care. If she goes,
somebody on your side's gotta go.
How about your father?
He takes us all out to dinner
and the only plastic he's got on him is his shoes.
Charlie, he has to give me away at the wedding.
Give you away?
That cheapskate?
I'll probably have to trade him a pony
and a couple of blankets for you.
So what are we saying?
That we're gonna have a wedding
that none of our family and friends can attend?
We might as well just go
to Vegas and elope.
Now there's an interesting concept.
In Vegas, not only could we get married immediately,
we can get drunk and gamble away our nest egg.
Don't forget the lap dances and hookers.
Oh, you're gonna make a great wife.
* Men...
All the wonderful plans I had for a wedding...
Let it go, Alan.
I don't understand the big rush.
You wouldn't even stop for boutonnieres.
I just wanna get this over with.
Get this over with?
That's the attitude you take
to a proctologist, not a marriage.
Well, maybe I'm just a little nervous.
Is that all it is?
What are you saying?
I'm saying that if you're feeling uneasy,
maybe you're not ready for this.
Did you have doubts when you got married?
None. Judith assured me I was doing the right thing.
KANDI: * Here comes the bride *
* Here comes the bride
* Here comes the bri-ide, here comes the bride. *
That's all I got.
Hi.
Wow.
You look beautiful.
Thanks.
I was afraid you were gonna chicken out.
That's funny. She said the same thing about you.
Thank you, Kandi.
So, are you sure this is what you really want to do?
I'm sure. Are you?
Absolutely.
MAN: Okay.
Who's the lucky couple?
Well, we're the ones getting married,
so I guess it's them.
Charlie.
I joke.
MINISTER: All righty.
Now, before we begin the ceremony, I need
both your signatures there and there.
Okay.
So, are you folks
staying in Vegas,
or are you honeymooning somewhere else?
I don't know.
What do you think, sweetie?
Oh, uh... can I talk to you for a second?
What'd I say? Am I in trouble already?
I swear to God, I think we're the lucky couple.
Charlie, relax, I just want to talk to you about our honeymoon.
Oh. I'll take you anywhere you wanna go.
Frankly, I'd pick a place with a nice ceiling,
'cause we're just gonna take turns looking at it.
Charlie, I'd love to honeymoon with you, but,
well, I have to work and, well, I think it'd be smarter
to use the money to redo the house.
Oh, I get it. You gave up trying to change me
so now the house has to suffer?
If we're gonna have a family,
we'll need to turn the second bedroom into a nursery.
But that's, that's where Jake stays.
Yeah, but once Alan moves out
then Jake won't be staying there anymore, right?
Alan's moving out?
Of course he is.
Isn't he?
This is so romantic.
When I was a little girl, I used to love playing bride.
Me, too.
I-I mean, I mean, I was the groom.
Most of the time.
You think you'll ever get married again?
I don't know. I hope so.
You should, 'cause you'd make a good husband.
You're kind, considerate, dependable
and you're cuter than a duck wearing a hat.
Come on, Charlie.
We need our privacy.
But they're my family.
I can't just kick 'em out.
Well, you could've said something before now.
Who knew your idea of marriage
was you and me alone in a house?
I don't believe this.
As long as I've known you, you've been complaining
about Alan living with you.
And you want to take that away from me?
You know what? I thought you were
ready to grow up, but clearly I was wrong.
What's more grown up
than wanting to take care of my family?
And let's not forget,
you're the one who came back to me.
I only came back to you because I wanted your sperm.
Yeah, well, it's a package deal.
My sperm and my brother go hand in hand.
Kandi, this is so sudden.
I know.
But lots of good things are sudden.
Like sun showers... orgasms...
That's two things.
Multiple orgasms.
That's five.
All right, deal's off.
Let's get the hell outta here.
Hang on. Are you really serious about this?
You love me, I love you, the sex is great.
The sex is unbelievable.
Wait, what'd you say?
I said the wedding's off.
Oh my God, what happened?
It doesn't matter.
What's important is I just avoided
making a huge mistake.
Charlie, I am so sorry.
Oh, thanks.
Now let's head for a strip joint,
get drunk and let the healing begin.
Uh, yeah, but, but, before we do that,
I was wondering, uh, could I ask you for a little favor?
Yeah?
Can I borrow your wedding ring?
What for?
Well, I thought as long as we're in Vegas,
I'd marry Kandi.
Are you insane?
Oh, come on, you're not using it.
* Men...
I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
I don't freakin' believe it.
Cheer up, Charlie.
You're finally getting what you always wanted.
I'm moving out of your house.
I don't freakin' believe it.
