I know.

Well, then, let's do it.

What's the worst

that could happen?

So how long do we

have to stay married?

Two years. It's a long time,

and it's serious.

I have to state again

that Congress has devoted

an entire act to the penalties

for engaging in marriage fraud.

I could be disbarred before

I even finish law school.

She's right. This isn't

something to rush into.

Look, you're the one

who's running out of time.

Marriage is supposed to

be a sacred commitment.

We'll still be couples.

It's just she'll

be married to Carlos.

I'll be married to you.

Nothing will change.

Hey, wait a second.

I still have six months

left on my visa.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, then I'll go first.

Elena, do you want

to get married... to me?

I don't know.

I guess it's

the only way.

You guys are

our best friends,

and to give us

this opportunity

to remain here together,

I don't know

what to say.

Then say yes.

By the power vested in me

by the state of Alabama,

I now pronounce you

man and wife

or woman and husband,

whatever be your fancy.

Heh heh.

You may now kiss the bride.

Anytime today, son.

What the hell was that?

Put your arms around her.

Give her some tongue, son.

W-We're just

a little shy.

Did it flash, Betty?

No.

You need

to kiss again.

It didn't flash.

Sorry, Mike.

Kiss her like you mean it,

like a man.

MINISTER:
Right on!

Hubba-hubba!

[Humming

wedding-style music]

They're excited.

Hold on. Let me get

on the other side.

Hold that. Good.

Okay.

1, 2, 3.

Perfect. One with the ring.

One with the ring.

One more.

Okay.

Yay!

Congratulations!

We're next, baby.

Oh, God.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay.

She's still my girlfriend.

Take it easy. You just

got married, huh?

Yeah.

Finally.

Te veo, Orita.

What's wrong?

This whole thing

is kind of weird.

I swore before God that I

would honor and cherish Mike.

The minister said for him to

give you some tongue, Elena.

I don't think God was

really listening, huh?

Let me have this.

Now...

think your husband

knows about this, hmm?

[Both laugh]

I've been married for

less than nine hours.

I'm already

having an affair.

No. I can't.

I'm sorry.

It's just been

a really weird day.

Okay.

I bet my wife and her boyfriend

are having the same problem.

[Sandy Cressman singing

Yo Lo Deseoin Spanish]

[Laughs]

All right, leave it to me.

Your choice.

[Grunts] Yes.

What?

Yeah.

What's gotten into you?

I don't know.

Maybe it's the thrill

of cheating on my wife.

Oh, well, I hardly

consider this cheating.

You know, we are still

living together.

Well, maybe when

you marry Carlos,

you'll understand

the rush.

[Sandy Cressman

singing in Spanish]

[Knock on door]
