How To Deal Page #4

Synopsis: Halley is a young high school student who is disillusioned with love after seeing the many dysfunctional relationships around her. Her parents are now divorced and her father has a new young girlfriend she doesn't care for too much. Her mother is now always alone; and her sister is so overwhelmed by her upcoming wedding that she barely leaves the house anymore. On top of that, the shallowness of all the girls and guys at her school convinces Halley that finding true love is impossible. A tragic accident, however, leads her to meeting Macon, and suddenly Halley finds that true love can occur under unusual circumstances.

then if that's what he wants,

I'm fine with that.

Someone toss, please.

Now.

This is our reception area.

With out post-ceremony

champagne bar...

which is conveniently located

right next to our very own chapel.

Can't you picture

walking down this aisle?

In a coffin.

Sorry, it's just...

a little depressing.

Actually, nobody's ever

said that before.

Lewis... say something.

What do you think?

Well, I like it.

It's very clean.

Clean?

Is that what you want

our wedding day to be? Clean?

It's not... it's not pretty,

it's not intimate,

it's not romantic.

I'm just so happy

that I get to marry you.

I'm sorry, not to pressure you,

but this space does

book up quickly for Spring.

We have another couple...

Why don't we

give them a moment to think.

Ashley, Sweetie,

they plan the whole thing.

The food, the flowers...

even the place cards.

Think about how much

less hassle it'll be.

You think planning the most

important day of our lives is a hassle?

It hasn't even been that long.

Wouldn't Michael

look cool in that?

Hey, I did a good job.

Michael Sherwood would

look good in anything.

That's not the point,

though, okay?

Enjoy him,

and fool around with him.

Don't fall in love with him.

Why do you think

they call it 'falling, ' anyways?

It's not worth it to you

to spend on a wedding.

It's the most important day.

I was trying to kill

two birds with one stone.

Cheap is what that is.

You see cheap,

I see convenience.

Look at them.

They're like a walking

warning sign against romance.

Lewis is this anal, uptight geek

who has my sister under some spell.

Now all this formerly

semi-intelligent person thinks about

is diamonds and hairdos and bullshit.

It's like K-Mart.

How am I supposed

to know what it looks like?

Maybe go by and look

at it? Or maybe...

See? They don't

even like each other.

But this stupid spell they're under

makes them disregard all the facts.

They are fighting because they

love each other enough to care.

I didn't know it looked

like a K-Mart before I went there.

Once we got in there, you knew.

- I made a mistake.

Too bad you can't get

a divorce before getting married.

You could save yourself

in that stupid extra step.

I'm sorry.

- See?

What are you looking for?

- These dishes, they're perfect.

That's love, Halley.

Okay, fall once and you may never

be able to get back up again.

Geek!

Get out of here.

Isn't he adorable?

He's cute.

All right, Michael!

Way to get that goal!

Okay, guys, line up!

Okay, back up.

Let's give him some air.

Sherwood? You hear me?

Guys, back up.

Give him some air, all right?

Call the doctor.

I thought my parents' divorce

was the end of the world.
