(DIALING PHONE)

(PHONE RINGING)

SETH; (ON PHONE) Hello.

Hi. Seth?

Yeah?

Hey, there, it's Doug.

Um, I'm sorry.

Doug who?

Doug Harris.

You know, Doug Harris.

"Persian Rug Doug"?

"Chili Cheese Doug"?

"SPF 60"?

(LAUGHS)

Oh, of course, man.

SPF 60,

how are you, brother?

It's been a long time.

I, uh, know we haven't

spoken in a while

but I was actually

calling because

I've actually got

some really great news.

I'm getting married, bud. Wow!

That's amazing. Congratulations.

We're very excited and, in

fact, I'm doubly excited

because I'm calling

to see if maybe

you would want

to be my best man.

(SETH CHUCKLES WEAKLY)

Wow. Um, I mean,

this is a little bit awkward.

I feel like

we're not at that level.

It feels like we don't know

each other that well. You know?

No, I don't feel that way.

What about that...

Seth, what about that

weekend in Carlsbad Caverns?

I mean, that was

the 9th grade field trip.

The whole class went.

Can I give you the dates?

Maybe you just want to look into it.

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

Are you still there, Seth?

MAN 1:
I don't know

what to say, Doug.

I mean, I didn't

invite you to my wedding.

That's okay. That's okay.

Yeah, you can't invite

everyone that you want to.

Actually, we did invite

everyone we wanted to.

(LAUGHS) We had,

like, 400 guests.

Freshman year?

Your roommate?

MAN 2:
I heard you died.

No. No, that's Len Brophy.

I'm the other one.

Truth be told, uh, you're the

first person I thought of.

Is that a yes or a no?

Hola, Eduardo.

(LINE BEEPS)

'Cause I gotta feeling

(MAN LAUGHING)

You have to know that. Okay.

(CROWD LAUGHING)

I ain't lying.

Yeah. I've always been a bit

of a hopeless romantic myself.

If our true match

exists somewhere,

it's our goal in life

to find her.

But, see, Andrew's a bit

more rational than me.

Andrew always believed

that "the one"

was a farce created

by musicians and Hollywood.

Until last December.

Andrew calls my cell phone

and he says,

"Remember all that

stuff I said about"

"there being no such

thing as 'the one'?"

He said, "Well, I was wrong.

Her name is Gina Baker."

"And she doesn't

know this yet,"

"but she's going

to be my wife."

GUESTS:
Aw.

And I knew at that moment

that this Gina Baker

was the luckiest girl

in the world.

But after getting to know

you these past few days,

and as I look at

you tonight, Gina,

I know at this moment

that Andrew is the

luckiest guy in the world.

Because I know that you

both have found "the one."

GUESTS:
Aw.

Ah. I said I'm not going to do it.

(SNIFFLES)

I want to propose a toast.

This is to the groom,

my best friend,

(GUESTS CHEERING)

and his beautiful

new bride.

This is to

"happily ever after."

I love you both.

WOMAN:
Cheers!

(APPLAUSE)

(GUESTS WHISTLING

AND CHEERING)

Congrats, man.

MAN:
Great speech.

So, are you still

the hopeless romantic?

Well, I wouldn't say

"hopeless."

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Hey, can I speak to you for a minute?

Like, two seconds.

Yeah. Uh, I'll be

fightback,babe.

(CHUCKLES)

ANDREW:
I don't even

know what to say, man.

Did you see their faces?

They were smiling.

Hey, hey!

Man, did you see the beautiful

titties on that girl back there?

I'm trying to tag her ass before she

passes out, so if you could just...

Yeah, sure. Um, your

wig's a little askew.

That's fine. Thank you. Okay.

So, I guess that's it.

You know the rules.

I do. I just thought that...

Thought what? I thought we

maybe hit it off, right?

No. We definitely didn't.

Oh.

You're a great kid, but

unfortunately, a deal is a deal.

There's no contact

after final payment.

I should have

charged you more.

I'm serious, man. You got

the real deal tonight.

I was in the zone, baby.

Yeah, great.

No, we don't do that.

Sure.

Thank you, man.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Easy come

Easy go

After you.

Feel the shot

Body rock

Rock it, don't stop

Where to, boss? Just drive, Otis.

Just drive.

And I'm feeling

Whoo-hoo

That tonight's

gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be

a good, good night

Whoo-hoo
