Can I get you

anything, Ameet?

Thank you, no.

By the way, congratulations.

Thanks.

So how are you guys

getting along?

Well, it's really weird.

But she's nice.

You'll know soon enough.

Where are you going?

To the hospital.

Good, good. Go.

Saima.

I'm only wanting to give

you a secure future, beta.

Yeah, I know, Papa.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, Josh.

How you doing?

- I'm doing great.

- Great to see you.

- I need to talk to you about something.

- Okay.

I'll catch you a little later.

I'm in a rush.

- Okay, I'll see ya.

- See ya.

What took you so long?

Hey, don't snap at me.

We're not married yet.

If that's what you think it'all about,

then I definitely don't want to be with you.

What is that supposed to mean? It's not

like you have any idea what it's all about.

It's about love, cooperation!

Shh!

Working together

to live a better life.

It's about raising kids and teaching them

whats right and what's wrong

It's about trusting someone

with your innermost secrets.

It's about passion and fire and

emotion that you can just run away with.

That's what I think

a marriage is all about.

Aah! Aah!

Oww! Oh, God!Oh!

- Are you okay?

- Shh!

- I'm fine.

- Shh. Shh.

- I'm fine.

- Shh.

Owie!

Ow!

Feel any better?

I'm okay.

- I'm, I'm... Yeah.

- Huh?

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I'm... I'm peachy.

So, do you have a plan?

- Huh?

- A plan.

Uh, yeah.

Of course I do.

A toast to the happy couple.

Let us celebrate this union.

Not only a union

between two people,

but a union between

two families.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

It is my greatest pleasure

to have Saima join our family.

Welcome.

I also would like

to say a few words.

I just want to take this

opportunity to thank you all

for setting me up

with this wonderful woman.

She's smart...

witty...

and, oh, so hot.

What do you think

you're doing?

What? You are my woman.

The hell I am!

How wonderful.

A lovers' quarrel.

Lovers' quarrel.

What? No.

It is not funny.

- It is not funny.

- Yes, it is.

No.

I can't even have Bobby and the

rest of my friends over anymore.

And I can forget about

a bachelor party.

It's over. Totally over.

Oh, no.

By the way, what was the deal

with that glass of wine?

Payback.

Fair enough.

At least I got a kiss first.

Oh, I'd say you

got a bit more than that.

- You liked it.

- Nah.

Did you?

Dream on.

So what do we do now?

About the kiss?

No, about getting out of this, jerk.

I don't know.

Hey. What's up, yo?

Hey, sweetie.

You're looking better there,

tough guy.

Yeah, I got a smaller cast

so I can use crutches now.

What happened to your face?

We'll talk about it later.

- Uh-huh.

- Long story.

Your mole.

I had it removed.
