You, Me and Dupree Page #4

Synopsis: For newlyweds Carl and Molly Peterson, life can't get any sweeter as they begin anew to settle down into married life. With a nice house and established careers in tow, nothing seems to get in their way. 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. Especially when their friend overstays his welcome in far too many ways than he should.

Dupree? Live with us?

Not live.

Just stay for a couple of days

until he gets back

on his feet.

Molly, he's been

sleeping in a bar.

How does that happen?

Who knows? It's Dupree.

I mean, I told you.

His mother moved to

Florida with that yoga idiot,

and all of his friends

are married,

including myself.

He's got nowhere to go.

He's like an orphan.

Wait a second.

What's all this?

This is that celebration

we were supposed to have

about your promotion.

Oh, that's right.

I'm sorry, hon.

Look, Molly,

let me go outside

and tell Dupree

to bring his bags in...

What? Dupree's here?

Carl! Carl.

Carl.

Okay, look, you're right.

I screwed up. I did this

all wrong, and I'm sorry.

I should have called first.

You know what?

Maybe I should just give him

some money for a motel.

Carl. Carl.

He's your best friend.

He's here.

He can stay.

That's great, Molly.

Look, it's only gonna

be for a couple days.

Well, a week at the most.

Okay.

After that,

he's out of here.

Keep those candles burning.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Hey, Molly.

I want you to know I really,

really appreciate this, okay?

Yeah. No. It's really

no problem, Dupree.

Thanks.

Nice moose.

Oh, yeah.

Murphy,

say hello to the missus.

Hi, Murphy.

Come on in, buddy.

Make yourself at home.

Great.

I hope the couch

is okay 'cause

we're working on

everything upstairs.

Oh, yeah. I'm fine anyplace.

And you know

where everything is.

Thank you.

Great.

Thanks.

Thank you. And, hey, listen,

just to put your minds

at ease,

this is not a permanent

situation. Okay?

I'm hitting the job trail,

I'm gonna hit it hard

tomorrow.

Wheels of change

are in motion.

Good. Good.

That's a good attitude.

Despite what my ex-boss said,

I'm not unhirable.

Those copiers didn't exactly

sell themselves.

And frankly, I think

we had an inferior product,

and I'd tell people that

if they asked.

I wasn't going to lie

for that son of...

I don't want to get

started on him, but...

Okay, great.

Well, make yourself at home,

and Molly and I are...

Well,

we're going to go upstairs

and take care of some stuff.

Well, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Listen, we're all adults here.

You're newlyweds.

Making love's

a big part of that.

You're supposed to

explore each other.

I get it.

Come on.

If this situation's

gonna work,

we've got to be honest

with each other.

Now, go on.

Enjoy yourselves.

I'm not gonna listen.

Hump away. Go on,

get out of here.

Good night.

Okay.

Good night.

(ALARM RINGING)

MOLLY:
I'm kind of dreading

the talk with his parents.

He hasn't really been treating

anybody very nicely at...

(DUPREE SNORING)

That's not good.

No. Not for us
