Philip, there's nothing I want more

than to marry you, but...

But what?

I haven't even graduated yet,

and you're still in med school

and you haven't even met my parents.

Well, let's go. Right now. Tonight.

We can leave this second.

We'll go to New Jersey.

Driver, do you think this horse

can make it to New Jersey?

I think the horse is gonna get really tired

and sick, but then we'll drive.

They're gonna go crazy.

Babe, I know this might sound

a little old-fashioned,

but I really want their blessing.

I want them to be happy for us.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Philip, it's just my parents.

It's gonna be fine. They're gonna love you.

-Megan.

-Hey.

-Hi.

-Honey, hi, hi.

Mom, Dad, this is Philip.

Hello, Philip. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I was told you liked roses, Mrs. McAllister.

Myweakness. Thankyou.

And please, call me Susan.

Susan.

And I was told

your weakness was Pinot Grigio.

I guess my secret is out.

I haven't had this one. Thank you.

So, let's go inside.

Lunch should be ready any moment.

-Yeah.

-Come on in.

Let's go.

Wow, Philip, you really must rate.

Mom doesn't bring out

the silver for just anybody.

Well, it just seems a shame

to keep something so pretty...

Philip? Philip.

-Philip?

-Yeah. Thank you, I'd love some.

Looks so good.

So, Mr. McAllister...

-I'm sorry. David...

-Better.

I hear that you have an awesome short game.

-You play?

-Yeah.

Mr. McAllister,

you know why we came here today.

Yes, I do,

and I'm sure you can imagine

some of the questions I have.

Absolutely. I mean,

"What's the rush?" Right?

-Yeah.

-"Aren't you too young?"

"What about your studies?"

And "How do I know I can trust you

"with the person that I care about

most in all the world?"

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Well, sir, with me,

what you see is pretty much what you get.

You know, I grew up near Syracuse,

parents split when I was a kid.

I'm not rich and no handouts.

I had to work my way through school.

Summa cum laude from SUNY, Albany.

And I love your daughter very much.

You sound like the American dream.

Isn't that a good thing, sir?

Mr. McAllister, I would like very much

to spend the rest of my life

making Megan happy.

You know, there's no rush.

You guys could live together for a bit,

really get to know each other.

We have been living together for a bit.

Really?

I mean, it just works great, you know?

He's amazing,

and he's at the top of his class,

and he helps me and we study together.

And it's crazy,

but we're just great for each other.

He'll still charge you.

That's exactly right. By the hour.

Megan, you managed to find a young man

capable of crushing it 300 yards off the tee
