Best Man Down Page #3

Hi, honey.

Everyone is just devastated.

Is there anything that Roger

and I could do for you?

No, I don't think so, Gail.

Thanks though.

Well, I don't mean

to upset you,

but this might be...

a liability here.

Mom, I don't think

that this is a good time.

You know, sweetheart,

you cannot be too careful.

The hotel

should take responsibility.

We could blame the bartenders.

Have you two

eaten anything yet?

Uh, thank you, Dad.

We're not hungry.

The resort has a complimentary

continental breakfast.

[ SIGHS ]

Could you guys go say good-bye

to some of the guests?

Yes, we could, honey.

I think that would be really helpful.

All right.

Yeah.

[ CHATTERING,

INDISTINCT ]

I'm sorry.

Wow.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I don't have a

referral to another provider.

So there's only one company

that can ship a body?

You could keep the deceased in Arizona,

have the services here.

No, no, no. The funeral and the

burial have to be in Minnesota.

Um...

Then I guess you're out of options.

Really, Mr. Huxley?

There's nothing else?

'Cause I'm in

a tight spot here.

[ EXHALES ]

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, God! What the hell

are you doing?

Oh. Oh, uh...

He, um...

[ STAMMERS ]

Jesus Christ.

Can we go, please?

Oh, my God.

There are so many questions

I have for you.

There are so many things

I'm curious about.

But you know what?

I think it would be best...

if we just never talked

about that again.

Okay? Ever.

I think that's fine.

Great.

Great.

So let's go back to the hotel. We'll

pack our stuff up and call the airline.

See if they can get us on a

redeye back to Minneapolis.

What... [ STAMMERS ] Minneapolis?

No.

Uh, we're going home now?

Yeah.

Why?

I assumed that the funeral

would be after the honeymoon.

You-You wanna

postpone the funeral?

Who postpones a funeral?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

I mean, our honeymoon...

I've been dreaming about it

since I was a little girl.

I'm supposed to be in a

caftan under a palm tree.

What's a caftan?

You don't know

what a caftan is?

I know you never got Lumpy.

Okay? Let's just be honest.

You didn't want him to be my best man.

I didn't say that.

What I said was, you two didn't

spend much time together anymore.

What does that mean?

We're men.

Men don't spend

a lot of time together.

We have to go home

because I have to...

take care of my friend's

funeral arrangement, okay?

I can't believe this happened

on our wedding night.

Hey, will you hold this?

It's Lumpy's.

Then we can make some calls,

just let people know what happened.

There are only

six numbers stored.

Two of them

are for pizza delivery.

It's not a joke.

It's true.

- Who's Ramsey Anderson?

- No idea.
