- get off the phone!

- I'm so sorry!

- Not you.

Why not tell a guy you're on the phone?

[ Door Closes ]

What do you mean, ''Do I love you?''

Well, I--

Well, we met and--

You moved in, didn't you?

Well, it's-- it's just a very

complicated thing.

Hey, do you love me?

Well, there you go.

There she went.

[ Woman's Voice ]

What a huge wedding.

[ Church Bells ]

Cindy, hi.

- How are you?

- How are you?

Excuse me.

You look so pretty.!

Darn! My flash never works!

Figures. My mother-in-law gave it to me.

- [ Allen ] Get up.!

- What? What?

It was embarrassing when you were 1 0.

If something works for me,

I stick with it!

I've been thinking.

I intend to get more involved with business.

I mean that this time. I know the business.

I was there at the beginning with Dad.

Do we sell fruit and

vegetables or just fruit?

By the time I came home,

she was already gone.

- Victoria left, huh?

- Yeah.

You know why she left me?

- Because I didn't love her.

- That b*tch.

Hi. Anywhere but the frst three rows.

- Anywhere but the frst three rows.

- Hey!

Hi, Freddie. Allen, where's Victoria?

She's sick, and she can't make it.

- I'm sorry.

- Hey!

Can you answer me

why I didn't love her, Freddie?

She had everything.

She was bright, sensitive, beautiful.

- Hey, Allen.!

- Hi.

- Where's Victoria?

- She can't make it because of the flu.

- give her my love.

- You bet! Sure.

I can't even give her my love!

Something in here is not working.

There are worse organs

not to be working. Ha!

Hi, guys. Bauer, where's your pretty lady?

She's not coming! Okay?

Do you want your money back?

Well, I don't know. Maybe it's for the best.

- Hey, Allen.

- She left me! My life's a shambles.

That's the news. Want the weather?

Anywhere but the frst three rows!

Lighten up on the guy.

That's the bride's brother.

Drinking is a matter

of algebraic ratios.

How drunk you get depends on

how much alcohol you consume...

in relation to your total body weight.

It's not that you had too much to drink,

it's that you're too skinny!

- Marceau, more drinks here.

- No.

- Freddie, I don't want to get drunk.

- But you are.

A sober person would have

reached for the pretzels.

- Is he going to be there long?

- I don't know.

- Oh, I'm on the bar.

- You're on the bar.

Come on, off the bar.

This stool is in your way. Let me move it.

Oh, oh, you fell.

That hurt. You're not having a good day.

- Wasn't that a beautiful wedding?

- That was.

It was. It really was.

- The most gorgeous ceremony--

- A lovely...

[ growls ]

- How ya doing?

- Fine.

The fabulous Freddie Bauer here.

- Where did you get those?

- My grandmother.

- She left them to me.
