You might as well eat

Barbara Walters.

I'm going to the bathroom.

I don't like to be kept waiting.

You know we're hot?

If we're going to do this,

we have to do it now. Take it out.

- Should I put it in?

- I'll do it.

Very well. Good old Olga.

She's in good shape for a 20-year-old

runaway. Where is she exactly?

I'll tell you when I get the money.

Bring the proof to Monsieur Thibodoux.

I'll wire him now, tell him you check out.

I'm not going to France,

I just came from Europe.

I'm barely adjusted

to the time change.

This deal has gotta go down

by Sunday.

You are not serious

about brokering a deal for Olga.

I'm serious...

Hey, Jer?

- You're not a stall-peeper, are you?

- No. No.

Because they got a website for guys like

you. I think you ought to take it online.

Actually, I dropped a quarter, and...

- It's not in there?

- No.

I don't need it. I'm all right. Thanks.

Yeah, could I do this alone?

You're not centered.

Would you mind? It's too close for me.

I have a shy bladder.

Oh, great.

Talk to me on day six.

Jer, you still here?

Oh, you got that shy bladder thing, huh?

That's pretty common.

Buddy, you mind?

My friend is trying to take a pee.

Well, well. What do we have here?

- I'll come back.

- No, you stay where you are, Jer.

This man's just about to leave.

Excuse me.

What is this? I mean, what...?

Next time I see a woman

in the men's room...

...lm calling management!

Can you believe this?

Doug?

That's it, we're going home.

The wedding is off.

What? Dad, what are you talking about?

- What happened?

- He beat up a guy in the bathroom.

He wasn't even going to the bathroom

to begin with.

- Dad, you're going insane.

- I'm already there.

I got it.

An unconscious person.

You must be working.

The first thing I noticed about the guy

is he supinates.

- So?

- His shoes show medial heel erosion.

Only pronators have that!

Never mind, it's technical.

Marc is a wonderful guy.

But this is too much for me

to handle.

Fine. Don't marry Marc, I will.

- Jerry.

- Don't "Jerry" me now. Let's go.

- Oh, sweetheart...

- Honey, let's go. Let's go. Now.

Mom!

I tried to push this...

It's bad enough you screwed up your life.

I won't let you screw up mine.

I'll make this up to you.

No, no, no! You listen.

Don't apologize to me, apologize to them.

You fix this. You fix this.

Okay. I hear you.

I'm sorry about my father.

Honey, I'm sorry about my father.

- Here.

- Thanks.

- I have an idea.

- Yeah?

Let's you and me leave town immediately.

Let's escape our wedding.

There's no escaping.

- Really?

- Really.

Isn't this supposed to be about us?

Sweet, funny, whimsical Melissa.

Weddings aren't about the bride and groom.
