Rachel Getting Married Page #2

Synopsis: Kym Buchman has been in drug rehab for nine months, during which time she has been clean. She is released temporarily from the facility to attend her sister Rachel Buchman's wedding. During her release, Kym is staying at the family home, where the wedding is taking place. As such, it is like Grand Central Station for the duration of Kym's stay, which may not be the most conducive situation for her in constantly being exposed to the watching eyes of those who know and don't yet know her, but know of her situation. The reunion with her family members starts off well enough, but issues around Kym's release from rehab quickly surface. Kym and Rachel's father, Paul Buchman, wants to make sure that Kym is all right at all times, which to Kym feels instead like he doesn't trust her. Rachel slowly begins to resent Kym's situation taking over what is supposed to be the happiest day of her life, some of which is directed by Kym, some of which isn't.

- And he gets disqualified.

- But he doesn't care!

- But he doesn't care.

- Right. Oh, my God!

I'm going to go downstairs and find Olive

and get some unconditional love.

You look great.

- Welcome home.

- Thank you. Emma.

Speaking of dogs, when am I going to

meet this fianc of yours, anyhow?

He went to pick up some stuff with Kieran.

He'll be back.

I'm making hot dogs and hungabungas.

Who wants what?

- It's too hot.

- I don't eat gluten, Paul.

- Two...

- May I have one, too?

Yeah. You don't eat what, dear?

Gluten.

- Where's Kym?

- Besides, I'm in my dress.

You're in your dress? Let me see it.

- No!

- No!

- All right. Okay.

- Come on, Olive.

- What can I get for you, Kymmie?

- Actually, I'm late for a meeting.

And I have to pee into a cup

and register as a general biohazard.

Okay, I'll drive you, honey.

No, that's okay.

Just tell me which car I should use.

Well, honey...

- Can I get a hungabunga, Paul?

- One hungabunga.

- Can I get one, too?

- Two hungabungas.

Which car?

- Kymmie, do me a favor now.

- Excuse me.

- I have my license.

- I know, dear.

You just wouldn't believe my insurance

right now, and I'm not that comfortable.

Can we figure something else out?

Hi. Hi, I'm here to pee into a cup.

She's here to pee into a cup.

Someone will be right with you.

Okay. There's a meeting I have to get to.

- The meetings are over in the other

building. - I know that.

Someone will be right with you. Have a seat.

I'm an addict.

Cocksucker!

- Only once.

- Sorry.

Only once, my dealer.

- I was very hard up for cash.

- I'm okay.

- Thank you. Excuse me.

- Anyway, I'm in from Hawaii.

This is my first time at this meeting.

Thank you.

- Welcome.

- Go right ahead.

- I'm Steve. I'm an addict.

- Hi, Steve.

- Hi, Steve.

- Hey. This is my...

My first meeting, actually,

so I'm a little bit...

Hey. Thanks for coming, Steve.

"One. We admitted that we are powerless

over our addiction,

"that our lives had become unmanageable.

"Two. We came to believe that

a power greater than ourselves... "

And whatever happened to me,

it took me away.

It just gave me hope for one more day.

And that's how I live, one day at a time.

You see, yesterday is gone

and tomorrow is not here.

The only thing I can do is what I can do

today to make tomorrow different.

There was a point, man,

where I thought I could do one more,

take another drink.

But it always end up the same.

You know, one was too many

and a thousand was never enough.

I got tired of starting from

square one again, man.

You know everything that I built up with

my family, everything that I built up...

You know, and people helping me
