[soft piano music]
[indistinct chatter]
You nervous?
Jacob?
Jacob, are you hiding?
[footsteps thumping]
- Jacob?
- [rattling]
[giggling]
Hmm.
I wonder where Jacob could be.
- [shouts]
- Hey!
- [laughs] I got you.
- Yeah, you got me.
What are you doing up in the attic? You
know you're not supposed to be up here.
I, um, was hiding.
Yeah. Well, why don't
we get your best-man clothes on
- so we can get this show on the road.
- No thank you.
- Whoa!
- [grunts]
Hey, hey, hey. The sooner
we get this over with,
the sooner we can
all have cake.
I don't wanna wear the tie.
You're gonna look
really good with the tie on.
You're gonna look like me.
Then I want two...
- pieces of cake.
- Deal.
And I want a real train set,
with lights, bridges and houses.
You drive a hard bargain.
Let's go get married.
[grunts]
And now, Mark and Elizabeth
No pressure, just pretend
like we're not here.
[laughter]
I, uh...
I spent half my financial-aid
money on a really expensive bike,
and then I crashed it
in some middle-of-nowhere trail,
but was lucky,
because there was this beautiful
girl out hiking that day.
- Me.
- And she gave me her whole pack of Life Savers.
[laughs]
And kissed me...
to take my mind
off the pain.
Thank you
for saving my life.
I vow to make it up
to you every day.
to fix up this house.
- [laughter]
- Yeah, all right. I'll do that, too.
- And Elizabeth.
- Oh.
Hold that.
We had, um,
eight years,
one child,
one unrealized dream house,
your law school, and my MFA to think
about this whole marriage thing,
and now I don't know
why it took us so long,
because there is no me
without you.
Is that it?
Are we married? [chuckles]
Ring.
- OK.
- [Mark] All right?
Thank you.
OK.
- [man] And now, by the power vested in me
- It fits.
- by the Church of Universal Life and the Internet,
- Come here.
husband and wife,
- and you're already kissing the bride,
- [cheers and applause]
So my work here is done.
Time for cake!
[both] Cake!
[chatter and laughter]
[dance music playing]
[screams]
[slow music playing]
Time for the honeymoon?
Yeah, it's time
for the honeymoon.
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Brother John,
Brother John
Morning bells are ringing,
Morning bells are ringing
Ding, dang, dong
Ding, dang, dong
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Brother John,
Brother John
Morning bells are ringing,
Morning bells are ringing
Ding, dang, dong
Ding, dang, dong
[cell phone vibrating
and chiming]
[chiming stops]
[treadmill beeps]
[whirring]
New interns?
I am so sorry.
[stammers]
It's parent-teacher
conference day
and I-I totally
missed the memo.
But my sister's on
her way in to get them.
So...
Guys. [snaps fingers]
[cymbals clinking]
Is that my monkey?
Um, Riley, we don't take
things that are not ours, OK?
That-that belongs to Mr. Bennett,
so let's please bring it inside.
Go on.
[clinking]
Thank you.
Sorry about that.
That's good, thank you.
[elevator dings]
[PA chatter]
- [door opens, shuts]
- [Mark] Hi, Dad.
It's me. It's Mark.
I know. I know
my own son when I see him.
Why you eating this crap?
It's all sugar.
I did, Chicago.
But I'm back.
Been back a year.
- How you doin'?
- I'm up for a promotion. Head of the department.
Not sure I'm gonna take it,
obviously.
I don't know if I wanna
manage a whole department.
You're retired, Dad.
- You don't have to manage anything.
