- I wasn't saving you from him,

I was saving you from yourself.

You, my love, are too bloody nice.

I've never seen so many

beautiful women in one room.

Did he bring a date?

Darling, why waste time

on that horse's arse

when Mr. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down

is waiting for you over there?

- What does he do?

- He's a therapist.

- The perils of paranoia.

- Yes.

Oh, God. I think I've just come.

Thank you.

Can I have that?

Hm.

Thank you.

You know what I love about all this, Kat?

There's finally a reason for

the world to revolve around you?

Exactly.

- There you are.

- How's the future missus?

I'm perfect, I'm all ginny.

Thanks, Snufflepop.

Mmm! Mm-mm-mm!

Wow!

Am I not the luckiest bastard on earth?

Aw! Well, I'll dance to that.

- Oh!

- Oh, Jesus!

That's what he gets

for not taking dance lessons

until two days before the wedding.

Who's ever heard of

dance lessons for a wedding?

Just about everyone.

You are taking the piss?

We'll go with you.

I don't even know you, hunky dunky,

and I love you already.

Dance lessons? Hm. Right.

- Hey.

- Oh. Hello.

Weddings are a celebration

of love and commitment...

in Utopia.

In the real world they're an excuse to drink

excessively and say things you shouldn't.

- A philosopher, huh?

- Well, shrink.

- Crikey!

- What?

- No, nothing.

- No, tell me.

Well, you Yanks and your therapy,

it's a load of touchy-feely mumbo jumbo.

Spilling your guts to a total stranger,

it's not natural.

Oh, God.

It's just...

There's this girl that I care for...

Well, I suppose you could say I love her.

The bugger is,

she's here with some other guy.

There you are.

Hey, Kat. Hey, Kat.

Oh, hey, yourself. I see you met my ex.

- I was just telling him how we met.

- Mm.

- The Knicks game.

- Oh, yes.

Yeah... Oh.

You hate sport.

- I hate cricket.

- Right, yes.

Well, I should go and... go.

He looks miserable.

- What were you talking about?

- He seems a little drunk

but I think he's still crazy about you.

- Do I know you from somewhere?

- No.

What did he say? You don't...

You don't think he wants me back?

# Love started making sense

# I always make mistakes at my expense

# Love has placed a seed

# And you're the sun

that shines down upon me

# Yeah, when we are together

# And when we are apart #

Are you OK?

- Here we are.

- Thank God!

- Oh!

- Thanks, Mom.

- There you are, darling.

- Thanks, Dad.

God!

- Thanks again for having me. - Don't

be silly. It's wonderful to meet you.

Although technically,

I never knew you existed.

- Come on, Bunny.

- I love surprises.

Where's Nick sleeping?

My mother has this rule about sharing

when there's no ring involved...

- Don't be silly.
