However, Carl is about find out just how much friendship means when Dupree, his best friend has been displaced from his home and fired from his job because of attending their wedding. Taking his friend in, what Carl and Molly are about to experience is that the fine line between a few days and whatever else is after, can be a lot more than they bargained for.

It's just terrific, and...

Living the dream, honey.

Living the dream.

Maybe we can celebrate

a little when you get

home tonight from guys' night.

Are you trying to seduce me?

(GIGGLING)

I'll see you tonight:

CARL:
What's up, guys?

DUPREE:
Carl, you made it!

DUPREE:

Intense matches going on.

Guys' night, man!

Hey, there he is!

Guys' night!

Can you feel the fun

for the guys' night?

I can just feel it,

you know?

(WATCH BEEPING)

Sh*t balls!

(SIGHS)

What's that?

It's my alarm. My hour's up.

That's it for me.

What, are you kidding me?

Bullshit.

Where are you going?

I've got to go

meet my wife

and watch Sisterhood of

the Traveling Ya-Ya Pants:

I don't... How late

do you get to stay out?

I used to have midnight.

Do you get midnight?

'Cause I was late once, and...

I'm a grown man, Neil.

I don't have a curfew.

Not yet you don't.

But in all seriousness,

you got to tell me something,

okay?

(EXHALING)

Do I smell like beer?

Yeah.

Good. Because you know what

I don't smell like, then?

Cigarettes and weed.

That one's free.

Yeah!

(EXCLAIMING)

The dream continues!

Still undefeated!

Yes! Nice.

Will you look at this guy?

Look at you.

Is this what it looks like

to be married?

Come here, man.

It's still early on.

To fidelity, commitment,

the whole shebang.

Yeah, and I also

got a promotion today.

Add it to the list.

Forever blessed

as the dream continues.

How are you doing, buddy?

How am I doing?

Good question.

Turns out I got fired

for taking that week off

to go to the wedding.

Wait a minute.

You got fired?

Apparently,

I never had authorization.

My boss claims

he never received my e-mail.

Then I had a little bit

of a cash flow situation,

so I ended up

losing my apartment.

You're not living

out of your car?

Carl, I'm not an animal.

Plus, it was a company car.

So when I lost the job...

It's okay.

I picked up a ten-speed.

Dave's letting me crash

at the bar after hours.

Dupree,

you can't sleep in a bar.

We're not in our 20s anymore.

Sure you can. I got

a cot set up in the back.

This is ridiculous.

Look, you're gonna

come home and you're

going to stay with us.

That's sweet of you to say,

but I can't impose,

and I won't.

Dupree will land

on his feet as always.

Can I have a toast, please?

Thank you.

Listen, Dupree,

we've got to get

rid of the cot.

Some of the regulars

are starting to complain.

They don't think it's fair

that you get to sleep here

and they don't.

Curley said that, didn't he?

Curley? Curley!

What?

What? You got a problem

with me sleeping on the cot?

We all have a problem

with you sleeping on the cot.

We took a vote.

The ayes have it.
