You, Me and Dupree Page #2

Synopsis: For newlyweds Carl and Molly Peterson, life can't get any sweeter as they begin anew to settle down into married life. With a nice house and established careers in tow, nothing seems to get in their way. However, Carl is about find out just how much friendship means when Dupree, his best friend has been displaced from his home and fired from his job because of attending their wedding. Taking his friend in, what Carl and Molly are about to experience is that the fine line between a few days and whatever else is after, can be a lot more than they bargained for. Especially when their friend overstays his welcome in far too many ways than he should.

Lightning bolt?

Something.

Could be cool.

Yeah. I like it.

Although, it is going

to be listed in the program

that you're the best man.

Really?

Uh-huh.

That's pretty good. Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That should be enough.

Now, is Neil gonna be

okay over there?

I'm seeing him,

and it looks like

the tide's coming up.

Neil's gonna be fine.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Bingo!

MOLLY:
Oh, wow!

How many thank-you notes

do you think we have to write?

Well, I counted 111.

Honey, I'm gonna do

half of them.

Oh, come on. Really?

No, no, no. Really.

Dear whoever gave us

this platter, I love it!

Finally a platter.

Just what I always wanted

ever since I was a little boy.

(CHUCKLING)

And now you've made

my platter dreams come true.

That's perfect.

And then you write

and you're done.

Yeah.

And this is Molly.

Molly.

We can't get

to the phone right now.

You've reached the Petersons.

So, if you

leave a message...

Wait for the beep.

...we'll get back to you

as soon as we can.

All right...

Have a beautiful day.

All right, let's do it again.

No. That was really cute.

I called you Carl.

It was really funny.

Molly, it was cheesy.

(LAUGHING)

No, it wasn't cheesy.

Give it to me.

It's totally cheesy.

Give me the machine.

No! It's good cheesy!

Give me the machine.

No!

PACO:
ID?

Hey, married guy,

how you doing?

Good morning, Reese.

ID?

Top of the morning, Paco.

So, we're back

from the honeymoon.

Oh, yeah, we...

We had a great time, sir.

It was just...

It was really wonderful.

So I took a look

at your proposal

while you were gone.

The Oaks at Mesa Vista.

You like it?

Did I like it?

I loved it!

It's perfect for lot 208.

If I may, Mr. Thompson, it...

Mesa Vista is really

more of a smaller,

Not anymore, Carl.

You got to think big,

you got to think bold.

You're a married man now.

You're married

to my little girl.

I'm fast-tracking

this project.

And you, sir,

you're the lead designer

on it.

Excuse me, sir?

That's right.

You are the lead designer.

Wow, that's...

Wow, that's...

That's great.

What happened to Harrison?

I had to let him go

while you were gone.

I had a little problem

with Rancho del Mar.

But, Carl,

I believe in you.

You've got it.

It's here and it's here.

Release it.

Okay. I'll do that, sir.

Release it.

(BELL RINGING)

(CHILDREN SHOUTING)

Wow! I can't believe it.

He made you lead designer.

Yeah. Apparently,

he just loved my proposal.

And it's a little bit bigger

than I initially planned,

but you know, hey,

maybe that's a good thing.

So, what does this mean?

Well, it means

I've got my own office.

Which is really great:

Oh, and it's got a view:

A view of trees and some cars.
