Good morning.
It's a sunny November Friday.
And hey, it's a week before Thanksgiving.
And believe it or not, only five weeks until Christmas.
And that means only five more chances for you to win.
So call now.
And if you're our 55th caller, you'll
be one of this week's lucky people--
[gasps]
--eligible to win our weekly holiday vacation
giveaway, a trip for two to beautiful Playa Del
Carmen, Mexico.
So call now for that special stocking stuffer
for that special someone.
Hello?
Hi!
Oh, my God, I can't believe I got through!
Hi, my name is Hillary Burns.
[phone rings]
Oh, it's my fiancé calling.
Just, can you just hang on one second?
Don't go anywhere.
OK.
Jason?
I got through to the radio station!
Hang on, hang on.
Hi, are you there?
Hi, OK, yes.
My number is 555-8656.
Yes!
OK, thank you.
Thank you.
What?
Oh, my favorite Christmas song.
Yeah, that's easy.
It's "Gloria."
You know, (SINGING) angels we have heard on high.
OK, thank you!
Jason, I got through to the radio station.
Can you believe it?
We are finally in the running for our trip to Mexico.
It could be our honeymoon.
What?
Mexico?
Hillary, we have palm trees and sand here.
[scoffs]
[phone rings]
Hillary, are you there, honey?
It's mom.
Hang on, hang on.
Hello?
It's my mom on the machine.
One sec.
I need to know it that fiancé of yours will eat yam.
I've never met anyone who would turn down my yam casserole,
but--
Hillary?
--call me, honey.
She wants to know if you like yams.
You like yams, don't you?
That's not next weekend, is it?
Yes, honey.
That is traditionally Thanksgiving weekend.
I don't know if I can do it now.
I have three cases I have to research.
I have a hearing--
Oh, no, no, no.
You are not bailing on me again.
I promised my mother that she would finally meet you.
I mean, seriously.
They're starting to think I made you up.
OK, fine.
But I have to bring work with me.
They have Wi-Fi?
Yes!
Oh, they're playing my favorite Christmas song.
Listen.
[music - "gloria"]
What?
[humming]
Oh, uh, got to go.
Yes, Mr. Sharpel.
Yeah, I have all the work with me.
I'm on my way now.
(SINGING) Gloria.
Hello?
OK, I'm a little freaked out that you
picked this assignment.
Couldn't we have just done that safe little Los Villa street
fair?
Sophie, this is the real deal.
These people, they lost their livelihoods,
their savings, their homes.
You should be hungry for a story like this.
Well, it's after 2:00, and all I'm hungry for is lunch.
Let's eat.
I can't.
I'm saving my appetite.
Jason's taking me out to dinner.
Dude, that man is a serious snag.
I know.
His online dating profile would be so perfect,
no one would believe it.
Tall, dark, handsome lawyer who's
responsible and financially sound?
Please.
And I finally have a man to take home for the holidays.
I don't have to listen to my mother preach
to me about how I'm going to be a spinster or a lesbian.
Or both.
Oh, wow.
That's just sad.
Well, at least he's employed.
He's our first interview.
Come on.
Let's go.
Ugh.
Hi, excuse me.
Oh!
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
My name is Hillary Burns.
I'm with the Post Park Herald.
Can I ask you a few questions?
Sure.
Is this your full-time job?
Acting is my full-time job.
I'm sorry.
I really-- I can't hear you in there.
Yeah.
Hi.
I said acting is my full-time job,
and today I'm playing a large cell phone.
[laughs] Yeah.
Oh, crap.
I knew it.
Come on, we gotta go back to the office right now.
Why?
What's going on?
The paper went bankrupt.
It's shutting down.
Why?
Well, actually, the readership of books, newspapers,
and magazines has been on decline for years.
Cell phone guy's right.
Print's dead.
I love print.
Ow.
So do I!
Print's great!
[honking]
Hillary, I told you, I need that job.
It's not even a real job anyway, right?
It was just some part-time thing.
What does it matter?
I don't know.
Did you read the piece I did last month
about the local pound?
Uh, yeah, sure.
We saved, like, 100 animals from being euthanized.
Hill, you know when we're married,
you're not going to have to work.
I want to work.
Fine.
You can busy yourself throwing benefits and fundraisers
for every single dog pound, kennel,
and petting zoo in a 100-mile radius of Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh?
An new VP position opened up in our Pittsburgh office.
And I guarantee I'm the top pick for this position.
Why?
Because I have my priorities straight, and I'm ruthless.
And Sharpel knows it.
I have proven him time and time again
that I'm not afraid to make the tough decisions.
And that's what brings the money in.
So if you get this promotion, we'll be moving to Pittsburgh?
Sure.
Why not?
It's where the money is.
Because all our friends are here.
My family's here.
And we have a life here.
What am I going to do in Pittsburgh?
Be my wife.
You're such a good lawyer.
I'm sure there'll be other promotions, right?
Maybe something closer to home, right?
[phone rings]
I have to get this.
Mr. Sharpel.
Yes, I've already looked it over,
and you can consider it done.
I've already completed the entire thing, sir.
I'm not letting him keep one foot out the door.
Hey, do you not have Wi-Fi?
Internet?
Forget it.
No, I am not eating in bad.
Late night snacking will not make me fat.
OK, I got to go.
See you next weekend.
Love you, bye.
Oh, maybe we should set a date.
Now that I'm not working, I actually
have time to plan a wedding.
What do you think about March or April?
Spring weddings are always the prettiest.
Plus, you get the nicest flowers.
But then there's always the rain.
Do you think we should get our kids baptized?
I mean, I'm not really here or there about it.
I guess we can let them make their own decision,
and then we'll guide them, of course.
And what about circumcision?
I was watching this documentary about it.
And they say it's more hygienic, but I'm not really sure--
I don't think this is going to work.
What?
The baptism or the circumcision?
Us, Hillary.
I don't think we're going to work.
What?
Look, I need a partner in life, a wife who's
going to go where I need to go and do
what I need to do and be excited about my accomplishments.
I can't get dragged down by somebody
who's out saving dogs and cats and God knows what else.
Jason, is this about moving to Pittsburgh?
I'll move to Pittsburgh.
Look, I just-- I have to stay focused and mobile to advance
in my career.
I got to keep my priorities straight.
Believe me, this is one of those tough decisions.
But it's for the best for both of us.
I just-- I can't make a mistake, not now.
When did I become a mistake?
[phone rings]
Just-- I have to get this.
Just-- just-- just--
[inaudible]
No, no, no, that is exactly [inaudible]..
He's a jerk.
I knew he was too good to be true.
Maybe my mom was right.
Maybe I let him keep one foot out the door.
Oh, God.
Now I have to go home and listen to her go
on and on and on about how she's always right,
and I'm always going to be alone.
Maybe he just got cold feet.
You think?
I don't know.
Would you even still want him if he came back?
Ah, getting in the holiday mood.
Love that song.
All right, it's time to pick the winner for this week's KJWM
weekly holiday vacation giveaway.
And the lucky winner is Hillary Burns.
Oh, my God!
You won!
Oh, my God.
You won.
All of my sisters found perfect men.
And I can't even get one in the door.
Is that it?
Is that what would make you happy right now, to bring home
a man for Thanksgiving?
I just can't go home all alone.
I just can't face it.
I can't do it, not now.
[phone rings]
Ugh, it's my mother.
Happy holidays, everybody.
OK, look, all you have to do, just post this
with a flirty little intro video of your pretty face, and voila.
Fake fiancé needed for Thanksgiving dinner.
Must be mother friendly.
Two first class tickets to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico for services
rendered?
I am not giving away my tickets.
What, are you going to honeymoon alone?
Well, I thought you would come with me.
Yeah, OK, and sit around and watch you cry over
too many margaritas?
No, thanks.
All you have to do is click.
I'll help you do the video.
You really think it's a good idea
to bring a stranger home or possibly a psycho
to my parents' house for Thanksgiving?
Quinn's a cop.
We'll have him do a background check.
Your brother's a security guard.
[phone rings]
The woman is relentless.
Hillary?
I just wanted you to know I've planned a small family
gathering at the house--
What?
--for when you and Jason arrive.
I just hope we won't be disappointed again.
Trish and Gil have cancelled their trip to France to be
here, and Joy and Peter are coming.
Everyone is so excited to meet this elusive fiancé of yours.
Does Jason prefer dark or white meat?
I hope he eats dark, seeing as Gil and Peter prefer white.
That would make a--
Do it.
What?
Of course, if he preferred white,
he's welcome to my share, although it would be polite--
OK, let's do your video.
Hi, I'm Hillary.
And I just got dumped yesterday, less than 24 hours ago.
So you can imagine I'm kind of a mess.
And I must be out of my mind for doing this, but here I am--
Cut, cut, cut, cut.
Hill.
I just want something to work out.
Hi.
OK.
Hi.
I'm Hillary.
And I need a man for Thanksgiving badly.
I need a man so badly that I'm willing to do anything.
And I mean anything.
[snorts]
That was so creepy, I got the shivers.
Hi.
Mexico.
Hi.
My name is Hillary.
And although this might seem a little crazy--
OK, a lot crazy--
I need to hire a fake fiancé to bring home to my family
for Thanksgiving.
In return, you will receive two free first class tickets
to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
So just record a quick video intro, post to this page,
and we'll get back to you.
Thank you.
How was that?
Really good.
Yeah?
Yeah, really good.
It's nuts.
Yeah.
Whoa!
What?
Who is it?
Come in.
I can't believe it.
I knew it would work.
Look at all of these.
All right.
Mexico's got some serious waves, man.
I mean, after the weekend's over, Hill,
we can surf, and sun, and surf, and eat, and surf, and then
surf some more.
Whoa.
Can I have him?
These days, the single scene is so hard.
Where are you going to meet a quality person?
I've tried bars.
I've tried restaurants.
I'm passionate, I'm athletic, I'm spontaneous.
I do have irritable bowel syndrome.
[groaning]
But I do like to run on the beach,
not for a great long distances, but time permitting.
Oh, God.
So you're sure I get those tickets to Mexico, right?
Because I really need to get to Mexico.
By the way, you want to get a fake passport on the down low?
Oh!
Oh.
Ooh.
No.
[music playing]
What?
He had nice abs.
Open road, Sophie.
I'm telling you, it's the only way to live, man.
The wind in your hair, sun in your face,
a babe on your board, sweet.
Sweet, indeed.
Ugh, I knew this was a bad idea.
Hey, what about that Ted character?
He was all right.
He said he was married.
Well, then what about Greg?
My mother would never believe he's a lawyer.
I don't know.
Oh, we got another request for a live chat.
Should I say yes?
No.
Greg, hey, can I call you back?
Sure, dude.
Hello, Hillary?
No, I'm Sophie.
Just hang on one sec.
Come over here!
No!
No.
I don't want to.
Come on.
Just talk to him.
He's cute.
He kind of looks like Jason.
Hello.
Hi, is everything OK over there?
Depends on what you mean by OK.
Everything's great.
Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?
Oh, OK.
My name is David.
I'm an actor.
Ooh, perfect!
I'm 33 years old.
I'm a Libra if that matters.
Hey, wait, I know you.
You're the cell phone guy in the costume.
That's right.
And you're the reporter.
Yeah.
I was sorry to hear about the newspaper shutting down.
Did you lose your job, or?
What do you think?
Right, sorry.
Obvious.
For what it's worth, I got fired playing a big red cell phone,
so.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Don't be.
You could help me save my very last shred of dignity.
I mean, if I can't book a job playing a fake fiancé
for a weekend, I should probably call it quits.
Well, I warn you, hanging with my family
for the weekend isn't easy.
But comes with a free turkey dinner and two tickets
to Mexico.
So if you're still interested.
Definitely.
Sign me up.
Great.
OK.
Well, I guess we'll run a background check thingy.
OK.
Sure.
Are you free to meet Hillary tomorrow face-to-face?
Sure thing.
Hey.
OK, so I Facebooked him.
He hasn't responded.
And when you google him, the only thing that comes up
are a few photos of him on Flickr
with some chick named Lindsay on a beach.
Hmm.
So it looks like he's not a psycho.
He's just another out of work loser actor.
You sound like my agent.
Oh.
Hi.
OK.
Well, there it is.
Yeah.
You two have fun.
Great.
Bye.
So I checked out?
Yeah, seems like it.
Do you have any clothes that aren't coffee stained or shaped
like a giant cell phone?
Oh, definitely.
OK.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, do you think that Jason is more of a corporate lawyer
type?
Corporate.
What kind of car do you drive?
'98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, fully loaded.
We'll take my car.
OK.
OK, I'm going to friend you on Facebook, accept my request.
Click on all my family photo albums, memorize all the names.
Everybody's clearly marked.
OK, will do.
OK.
Well, I guess I'll pick you up here tomorrow, 8:00 AM sharp.
Sounds good.
[sighs] OK.
Um.
Sorry, I don't know what's going on here
with the thing, the hair.
I'll take care of it.
Yeah?
OK, good.
Bye.
Guess I'm going to buy your coffee.
[engine sputtering]
You clean up real good.
Thank you.
You look nice yourself.
[engine sputtering]
And don't forget, my parents are very
excited that you are a lawyer.
About that, I don't know if I'm going
to be able to pull that off.
You're an actor.
Act.
OK, hit me with the family breakdown.
OK.
Meredith, mother, housewife extraordinaire.
Roy, dad and councilman.
Your younger sister is Trish.
Joy.
Right, right, Trish is the middle one.
And her husband is Gil.
And Joy's fiancé's name is?
John-- Paul.
Peter.
You got to get these straight.
They're all going to be at the party.
Party?
Yeah, it's no big deal.
It's just family.
So how long were you and Jason engaged?
We dated for seven months.
We were engaged for two.
Wow.
What happened?
He's under a lot of pressure, really stressed.
He got this big job promotion offer in Pittsburgh, so.
Oh, look, here we are.
OK, just remember, say as little as possible and follow my lead.
Here we go.
Oh honey, honey, honey, you're finally here.
Oh, sweetie.
Come here.
Mmm.
Oh.
You know, you could wash that car every once in a while.
What about Jason's Tesla?
I wanted a ride in that.
Oh, that was my fault. I wanted to save on mileage,
so we took the Jetta instead.
Oh, well.
At least we finally get to meet Jason.
Oh.
You're practically part of the family now.
Yeah.
OK, well, let's go in.
OK.
Everybody's looking forward to meeting you.
[laughs] OK, come on in here.
Oh, my God.
I thought you said this was family only.
I didn't want the whole town to think that you were
going to be a spinster forever.
Everyone, this is Hillary's fiancé, Jason.
Hi.
Hi, how's it going?
Hello.
Hey.
[piano playing]
[baby crying]
I know, I know.
Aw.
Desiree.
Emma.
Go feed her.
She's starving.
I'll be back.
Just a minute.
OK.
Hi.
So Jason seems to be a big hit.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're--
Gilbert and I just bought a place in Southampton.
Oh.
Yeah, we really wanted the baby baptized in New York,
you know, St. Patrick's Cathedral.
But mom insisted that we do it here, so.
Yeah, of course.
She doesn't know, but we're going to do it again
when we get back anyway.
That way, he can invite his friends and associates.
Half of Manhattan is going to be there.
Huh.
Where is Gil?
Gil is at a polo tournament.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, he'll be here soon.
Desiree.
I'll be back.
I told you not to overfeed--
So, Jason.
Yeah.
You are that firm that's defending that schmuck
Shwarmin.
Yeah, man, he's as guilty as they come, if you ask me.
Bilking all those suckers out of their life savings.
You know, Frank, I think everybody's considered innocent
until proven guilty.
I mean, isn't that right, Jason?
Yeah.
Mr. Burns.
Call me Roy.
Yes.
Pleasure to meet you, Roy.
You, too.
You know what they say.
How does it feel to be defending a crook like that?
Well, I--
You know what, Frank?
Why don't you get yourself some eggnog?
I just whipped up a fresh batch.
Oh, it's about time.
Thanks.
Frank just comes for the eggnog.
Yeah.
So, listen.
What kind of cases do you do?
Do you do--
I don't know-- fraud or extortion or money laundering?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do all of those.
Come on, dad.
Leave poor Jason alone.
He's spent enough time at the office already.
Yeah, doing all that lawyering.
Do you play?
Yes, but quite badly.
No.
Oh, yeah.
You'll be great.
Do you mind if I--
Go.
[playing piano]
You know, when Hillary was young, she used to sing.
Oh?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah?
No.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
[laughing]
OK, everybody.
It's time to show the engagement ring.
Wait till you see this beauty.
Ta-da.
So--
I--
Where's the ring?
I--
What happened to the ring?
That's a funny story, actually, right, sweetie?
It turns out Hillary has lost a few pounds,
and the ring doesn't fit her anymore.
And this morning, she's taking a shower,
and she gets out of the shower.
And the ring falls off her finger into the toilet.
She calls me, hysterical.
Crazy.
I was crazy.
Crazy.
She was freaking out.
I get there.
So what do I do?
I've got to man up, right, Roy?
Yeah.
I gotta do it.
It's go time.
So I get down there on my knees.
And I go in there.
I go in there.
I go in deep.
I can feel it.
I can feel it right there.
The ring's there.
It's there.
Oh, no, it gets away.
It gets away.
Then I have to go a little bit deeper,
and I'm reaching for it.
And ah, ah, nope, deeper, deeper.
He has really small hands.
It's disturbing, actually.
And I can feel it.
I can feel it right on the edge of my finger.
It's right there.
And I got it.
Got the ring.
[sighs]
Yeah, so.
Oh, my God.
We decided to leave it home till we get it resized.
Yeah, yeah, it's better safe than sorry, right, sweetie?
Mm-hmm.
Woo, I am parched.
I'm going to get a drink.
Hey.
Hell, isn't it?
I thought you quit.
I did.
So is my fiancé boring yours with his foot talk yet?
No.
But I think David's got his hands pretty full.
Did I say David?
Did, yeah.
I meant Jason.
Of course.
David's a friend.
I was on the phone with him.
You know, you could have warned me, OK?
That's what sisters are for.
Sorry, I got sidetracked.
Well, I guess we better go back in there.
[sighs] You OK?
Yeah.
Hey, don't tell mom about that.
No.
But if mom has anything else to surprise me with,
can you please tell me?
Deal.
Thank you.
Welcome home.
The key to keeping your feet healthy
is staying away from the feet's worst enemies.
Do you know what those are, Jason?
No, I don't know.
Thank you so much.
Good to see you.
Oh, my sweeties.
There's Hillary.
I'm going to-- we'll do the feet thing later.
Oh, wait.
You two are going to have our pictures taken.
Oh, no.
The family photo.
Yes, we are.
No.
Oh, it'll be so much fun.
It'll be more fun this year than ever before.
Where's the timer?
Timer's not here.
Well, everyone gather together here.
OK, everybody ready?
Here we are.
Oh, OK.
Make room for Pops.
Oh, honey, you need the baby, for heaven's sake.
Yeah, we have to have the baby.
Come on, baby.
[baby crying]
All right, sweetheart.
Come on, honey.
Look in the lens.
Here we go now, everybody.
One, two, three.
[camera click]
Oh, for the love of--
Don't worry.
I could show Jason his room.
Well, honey, don't be silly.
The inn is full.
Besides, I don't expect you to have separate rooms.
Just separate beds.
Separate rooms.
And if you need extra pillows or blankets, just ask me.
That's OK, mom.
I think I know where everything is.
OK, darling.
OK.
Sleep well.
We have a busy day tomorrow.
OK.
Good night.
That's OK.
I'll take the cot.
No, no, don't worry about it.
I'm fine with it.
OK, well, you take it tonight.
I'll take it tomorrow night.
Whatever you want.
OK.
I'm going to go get changed for bed.
OK.
Oh!
Sorry.
Um.
[laughs] No, I'm sorry.
I thought you were still in the--
Pajamas, please?
Uh, no, I don't--
I don't wear pajamas.
So I didn't bring any.
OK, it's fine.
I'll just find-- see if my dad has some.
Great.
Daddy.
I plead not guilty!
Sorry?
What?
Sorry?
I came to ask you if Jason could borrow some pajamas.
Oh, I don't have any.
Your mother and I sleep in the raw.
Ugh!
Since when?
Ah, since Joy went off to college.
We ran around naked for a week.
You should have seen your mother.
All right.
Oh, no, no, no, I don't need to hear.
This guy, this Jason, he treats you right, does he?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
What?
Do you love him?
What?
It's an easy question.
It should be an easy answer.
Dad, I'm marrying the guy.
So?
Do you love him?
Yes, I do.
Hey.
The Beatles were right after all.
All you need is love.
Goodnight, angel.
Goodnight, Daddy.
[dialing]
Hey, Linds.
It's David.
I'm sorry for calling so late.
And it's nothing important.
But I just wanted to let you know
that I may have lucked into some tickets to Playa del Carmen.
And I don't know.
I thought maybe you might want to go?
So I know we haven't been there since--
you know.
Anyway, call me if you want to go.
And happy Thanksgiving.
Uh, bye.
Morning.
Morning, sweetheart.
Anybody seen Jason?
He's outside with dad.
What are they doing out there?
Well, your father got it in his head
that he was going to deep fry the turkey this year.
Oh, boy.
Where's Trish and Gil?
Trish is still at the hotel.
Gil hasn't shown up yet.
Why are they staying in a hotel when there's plenty of room
here?
Well, with Emma and the nanny, maybe they
felt they'd be a bother.
I don't know.
I don't even know why Trish has a nanny.
I mean, come on.
It's not like she's ever had a job.
But it's nice that her husband can afford
to give her whatever she wants.
He's just never around.
How about Jason?
How much does he earn?
Mom.
Oh, sweetie.
I just want to make sure that you're cared for.
Oh, come on, mom.
It is the 21st century.
You don't need to be cared for.
We have our own jobs, right, Hil?
Actually, the newspaper I was working for shut down.
Oh, honey, not again.
Well, it's not my fault. Nobody reads newspapers anymore.
Everything's on the internet.
I know.
Well, just in time.
I want you to tell me if my yam casserole is sweet enough.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not a fan.
Oh--
Yes, you are.
You're such a joker.
He's such a joker.
He loves yams.
Like I said, he loves yams.
Yeah, I love it.
OK.
Hmm.
I made that with Splenda, instead of sugar.
Hmm.
Oh.
Maybe just a little more time here.
He is really funny.
He is.
He really is.
He's so funny, he's such a kidder.
Well, I just hope he's more serious when it comes
to setting a wedding date.
Mom, please don't start.
Honey, I'm sorry if I seem a little anxious.
It's just that I have been deprived
of planning the weddings for not one, but two of my daughters.
Here we go.
Can't you girls understand that a mother
wants to plan her daughter's weddings?
Oh, since you were babies, I dreamed of this.
And then to find out that Tricia eloped to an island.
Well, what about Joy?
Joy is engaged.
Yes.
Joy is engaged.
Yes, she is, and has been for two years.
I will be six feet under by the time she sets a date.
[sighs] I'm sorry if I'm a little upset.
But honey, it's come down to you.
You're the only one I can count on.
I'm-- I'm--
December 21!
I didn't want to tell you.
I wanted-- we were going to surprise you at dinner,
but that's it.
December 21.
You're getting married on December 21?
Yes.
[gasps] Oh, my God!
That's kind of soon.
It's fabulous.
Oh, my darling girl!
Oh, this is fantastic!
Oh!
Did you hear?
I'm so happy.
Well, OK, I have to book the community hall
and call Gil's Greenery.
I don't even know the number.
We wanted something small.
[laughs]
And once we get this baby boiling,
you just rig the bird up to this line,
just drop it in the oil, huh?
Whatever you say.
All right, let's fire this bad boy up.
All right.
Get that, would you?
Yeah.
Let me ask you something.
Uh-huh.
Do you ever represent a councilman
or a politician or anything?
No, not personally.
But you could, huh?
Sure.
Good to know.
Wait.
Don't you want to wait until the oil heats up?
Come on, we're missing the game.
Besides, it's going to take half an hour for it to get boiling.
Come on.
Oh, God.
OK.
So, it's me.
No, things are not going well at all.
I just told my mom that David and I
are getting married in a month.
You're marrying David now?
That was quick.
No, no, no, me and Jason.
I just-- I blurted it out that we were getting
married on December 21.
Wait, what?
This is nuts.
I'm putting you on speaker.
Well, no, because what if Jason really did get cold feet,
and he's going to come back to me?
Because I mean more than Pittsburgh.
And then the wedding is already planned,
which is actually not that crazy.
No, it's crazy, Hil.
It's super crazy.
I know that's crazy.
What am I going to do?
Look, I don't know.
Surf's up.
Greg's going to be here any minute.
I got to go.
What?
Yeah, just listen to your heart.
Just ride the wave.
What?
Says who?
Cowabunga.
Sophie, Sophie, Sophie.
[phone vibrating]
You know, Roy, I think it's probably been 30 minutes.
Should we go check on the pot?
You know, I could use a little legal counsel.
Oh, well, you're a councilman, right?
I'm sure you have a great lawyer.
He's a little too involved.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, what would be better than keeping it in the family?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I guess I better go drop that bird in the oil.
Oh, uh, you sure you don't need a hand with that?
No, no.
I got it covered.
[laughs] Uh, ticklish.
Hi.
Did--
That was beeping.
Thank you.
Peter, can I have my foot back now?
Oh.
Of course.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Oh, my goodness.
That was a [inaudible].
Holy cow, [inaudible].
Look at the replay right there.
The quarterback faked him out.
Anything important?
Oh.
No, no, nothing important.
Ooh!
[sizzling]
It looks like your dad's contraption is actually
going to work out.
Oh!
Yeesh.
Roy?
Oh.
For the love of--
[sighs]
Well, this isn't so bad, is it?
Oh, um, I asked for seltzer.
This looks like tap water with cheese floating in it?
Sorry, Mrs. Burns.
I can see that your old boyfriend
hasn't amounted to much.
Hi!
Sorry we're late.
Hey.
Where's Gil?
The benefit that he was attending ran late.
So now he's snowed in, in New York.
Well, that's too bad.
I know.
If he were here, he could have gotten us
a table at the golf club.
Then we wouldn't have to eat in this dump.
Hey, it's not snowing in New York.
You know, Gilbert has a platinum membership to all the best
clubs.
Well, I'm not a big golf fan, so this place suits me just fine.
[laughs] This is fine.
This is great.
I-- no?
I thought you said that you met Jason at a charity golf
tournament that you were covering for that paper.
That's right.
Yeah, but I'm not a fan of the golf, but like a spectator.
But I just play, but very, very badly.
Very, very badly.
That's why they gave you a car.
Yeah.
A Tesla, right?
Yes, he won the car at the tournament,
and then you interviewed the winner.
Look at me.
He forgets everything, right, honey?
I'm crazy.
I think you're sandbagging, aren't you?
No.
I know a golfer when I see one.
Hola.
Oh, thank God.
My name is Paco, and I'll be your server this holiday
evening.
Would you like to hear about our specials?
Ah, seguro.
[laughter]
OK, well, basically, what we have is anything
that's chicken-- pollo--
we switch that out for guajolote.
Guajolote?
Guajolote.
That means turkey.
And the turkey tacos are particularly delicious tonight.
David?
Yes.
Hey, it's Julian.
Hi, Julian.
Hey!
Hi there.
But my name is Jason.
Jason?
Jason is my name.
No, it's not.
Really?
Yeah, it's Jason.
Look, David is my middle name, so there's confusion sometimes.
Oh, OK, all righty.
Well, it's been a while since we did that bus and truck tour
pair together.
[laughs] Oh, God, you looked good.
Are you still in the biz?
Yes.
So what are you doing?
Oh, you're looking at it.
It's a nightmare, yeah.
I had to move back in with my parents
to get a more stable career going on.
So here I am.
All right, I hear you!
Gracias!
De nada!
I'll be there!
It never stops.
Anyway, I'll be back in a minute to get your orders.
Just a word to the wise, don't get the huevos rancheros.
I had them for breakfast.
I feel like there's a knife in my colon.
Happy turkey day, everyone.
Olé!
Hey.
[laughs] Julian.
So, Jason David, what biz are you still in?
Oh, I'm in the law.
I do a little pro bono work.
I'm [inaudible],, and I represented a few theater
companies a few years back.
So theater people are so crazy.
Can I have some salsa?
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
He's a giver.
How could you forget we went over that at least a
half a dozen times?
I've never played golf before.
It's not a part of my repertoire.
And what was all that with the crazy waiter in the diner?
We were in a production of Hair eight years ago.
How was I supposed to know he'd end up
in-- where are we anyway?
Ugh!
Is everything OK?
Yes.
We were just talking about the mix-up in the diner.
Oh, what mix-up?
Well, I'm pooped.
Oh, I'm pooped, too.
It's not every day that we blow up a turkey around here.
You know, dinner was actually kind of fun.
And the Mexican food wasn't half bad.
That's good.
Not as good as your turkey dinner would have been.
It wasn't even close.
If Hillary doesn't kick me to the curb,
maybe I'll be lucky enough to try it next year.
Mm.
Well, you know, I didn't want to deep fry
that turkey in the first place, but when Roy gets an idea stuck
in his head, but we've got stuffing, three pies,
and my yam casserole, which is always better on the second day
anyway.
Mm, that is so true.
You know, it's getting late.
Uh-huh.
So you go to bed.
OK.
Get a good night's sleep, and we'll see you in the morning,
OK?
OK.
Good night.
Good night, darling.
Your turn to sleep on the cot.
I'm sorry.
No.
No, it was me.
I dropped the ball.
I just-- I don't know why you're doing this.
I mean, I know you want the tickets.
But there's got to be an easier way to get to Mexico.
Playa Del Carmen.
It's where I met my girlfriend, or rather, my ex-girlfriend.
I guess I thought that if I took her back to the resort
when we met and--
I don't know-- it might reignite the spark or something.
But I didn't have enough money for the ticket, so.
Well, I'm sure it'll work.
I hope so.
I mean, she's kind of dating this other guy right now.
But who does she call every time they break up?
Me.
So, obviously, she deep down, she really
doesn't want to be with him.
Mm.
So you're the get-back guy.
What?
The what now?
The get-back guy.
You know, the guy she calls to get back at her ex.
No, I'm not that guy.
He's that guy.
Well, when you met her, was she seeing him?
No, they'd just broken up.
See?
No, no, no.
It's not like that.
No, they broke up.
Uh-huh.
And then we met.
And then we were together like a couple.
For how long?
Four, five weeks.
Mm, and then she went back to him.
Yeah, but she keeps calling me.
All right, it may look like I'm the get-back guy.
But I know that all she needs to do
is get away from that hold he has on her.
And then she can realize that what she really wants is me.
OK.
Trust me.
I know her.
She's materialistic and sentimental.
So this could work.
Maybe.
I mean the ticket thing.
Are you hungry?
You know, I was bummed when the Post closed down.
That was my Sunday morning read.
I loved that funky rag.
I know.
The end of an era.
So are you going to find another gig reporting or something?
I don't know.
I mean, the only reason why I got
that job was because my friend, Sophie, worked there,
and I needed it.
And it's not like I'm very good at it.
You wrote that article a few weeks back about the animal
shelter, right?
Yeah, that was me.
Well, you must have some talent.
I mean, it's thanks to you that I am now
the proud owner of the same dog you were hugging in that photo.
You rescued Skittles from the animal shelter
because of what I wrote?
Yeah.
Well, his name's Whiskey now.
I'm going to miss the Post.
Well.
I mean, I get all the news I can handle online.
But I want to hold something, you know?
Not just my laptop, but an actual newspaper.
Yeah, I love print.
Who says print is dead?
Let's start a revolution.
Vive la print!
Ahh.
Nice.
What about you?
How's your acting coming?
My acting is-- it's not really going anywhere.
This and that cell phone gig are the only paying jobs
I've had in a while.
Hmm.
Look at the pair of us.
Dumped, unemployed, and eating sugar and carbs at midnight.
Who is it?
I don't know.
We should take this upstairs.
Great idea.
Only two more days to go.
If we lie low, we just go with it,
I think we're totlly going to do this.
No, but let's not press our luck.
Let's get out of here and go sightseeing or something.
Good plan.
You know you totally snore, right?
What?
No way.
Oh, my God, yes way.
[snoring]
Wow.
No!
Oh, sorry.
Oh, you startled me.
It's beautiful.
Oh, well, it will be.
You do this all yourself?
Every year.
Wow, it's impressive.
Well, I started doing this one year
when the girls were very young.
And they were convinced that Santa Claus's elves decorated
the house.
So I have to keep going.
Well, your secret's safe with me.
Thank you.
Can I help you at all?
No!
Oh.
I'm sorry.
OK, there is a wreath over there that I
had designed for the mantle.
Yes.
Here?
Pick it up very carefully, and it belongs right on the mantle
in the center.
OK?
Watch yourself on that ladder.
Oh, I got it.
Thank you, Jason.
Don't worry about it.
It's a little crooked.
There.
No, I mean thank you for Thanksgiving and for being
such a good sport today.
And thank you for loving my daughter.
She loves you very much.
I can see it in her face.
Well, I love her, too, Mrs. Burns.
Oh, call me Meredith, please, or mom, if you like.
OK.
Listen, can I give you a hand with anything else or?
After 20 some years, I've got it down to a science.
All right.
I'll head up to bed now.
Good night, Jason.
Good night.
Good night, mom.
Hey, Hillary.
Yeah.
Do you see this?
Oh, yeah, my mom does this every year after Thanksgiving.
It's her tradition.
When we were little, we used to think
it was elves or something.
So she does that all by herself?
Oh, yes, she never lets any of us help, except with the tree.
And that's just because she can't
lift it herself, or believe me, she would if she could.
We offer to help her over the years,
but oh, no, it's her special Christmas thing.
Uh-oh.
Just the two I was looking for.
Hey.
I know you're only here for a few more days.
But we have to find the perfect wedding dress
and pick the china and the linens and the cake.
Oh, mom, you don't need us for all that.
And I can get the dress back home.
Well, OK, it's just that all of my friends
went with their daughters to pick out their wedding dresses.
And I thought you might want to do the same.
But if you want to go with someone else, I understand.
Of course, that's fine.
Oh, I think you should go, hun.
I mean, go with it.
Isn't that what brides are supposed
to do, go dress shopping with their mothers?
Yes, of course.
Yeah.
But you really think it's a good idea
to go shopping on Black Friday?
Oh, we have no choice.
If we go after, all the best dresses will be gone.
Oh, and Jason, I'd like you to go with us to pick the china.
Oh, I don't need to go.
I mean, I'm sure I'll love whatever Hillary picks out.
She knows me better than anyone.
Oh, that's perfect.
Give us some time to catch up and maybe
get a little free counsel, huh, son?
You know, come to think of it, Roy,
I am going to be eating off those plates
for the rest of my life, so let's go shopping.
[gasps]
Huh?
Let's go shopping.
Yay!
Ooh, I'm going to look over here.
OK.
Mom, look.
Oh, it's beautiful.
(SINGING) Dum, dum, dum, dum.
Here, hold my purse.
Thanks.
Here.
Thanks.
Are you almost ready?
Ready.
Oh!
[gasps] Oh!
Hillary, it looks beautiful.
Yeah?
Oh, honey, you look beautiful.
Pretty.
Very pretty.
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Oh, darling, I love it.
Yes?
Yes.
Oh!
So what's going on with you and Jason?
Nothing.
My point exactly.
For two young lovebirds, I don't see much affection.
No kiss, no hug.
Mom, he's just not a touchy feely guy.
Don't worry about it.
Well, I just want to be able to see your marriage succeed.
You know, most marriages fall apart first in the bedroom.
You know, your father and I make love three times a week.
Ugh, my ears are bleeding.
Oh, stop.
Well, we made that agreement when we got married.
Your father and I knew it was important
that in spite of anything, we would make time.
And now I'm deaf.
I just don't want to see you screw this up.
Jason's a good catch.
A little odd and nervous, I guess, but I like him.
He's good for you.
I can see it.
I'm never wrong.
I know.
Oh, up there.
Oh.
Sweetheart, you just-- you look so beautiful.
Pretty.
Oh!
Is she getting married?
Well, yes, of course.
I'm not.
Oh.
My therapist says that I should visualize what I want,
and it will manifest itself.
Well, that sounds like a very good strategy.
I want that dress.
I'll take it.
That's beautiful.
Thank you.
Nice.
Oh!
Oh, ma'am, ma'am, that is my fiancee's dress.
I saw it first, and it's mine.
OK, can I have it, please?
No.
Look, a Vera Wang.
[screams]
Your dress, my bride.
So just between you and I, how would you
advise a client to proceed if it was
discovered that, let's say, he was getting money
for something--
I don't know-- votes.
I would probably advise that person to stop talking about it
and definitely not tell anyone.
No one.
Gotcha.
Hey, so what do you like better, cups or mugs?
Uh, I don't know.
I think we get better use out of mugs.
What do you think, table setting for eight or 12?
Hillary, can talk to you outside for a minute?
What?
You do realize that we're not actually getting married,
right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But what if Jason actually did get cold feet?
I mean, a lot of people think they
want to move to Pittsburgh, and then they change their mind.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, look sharp, kids.
There is someone here to see you.
Oh, Father Macy, what are you doing here?
Well, sweetie, your wedding is in less than a month.
You really should have met with Father Macy weeks ago,
so I invited him over.
Oh, my.
Oh.
[whispering]
Hello, I'm Father Macy.
Hi, Father.
Jason.
So is there somewhere we could go and talk?
Well, it's a beautiful day.
Why don't you take a walk?
Perfect.
Let's.
So, Jason, you're going to marry Hillary.
That's what they keep telling me.
Hillary, you're finally getting married.
I'm so very happy for you.
It's been a long haul, hasn't it?
I guess.
Don't you both be getting nervous.
I won't be asking any personal questions
if you know what I mean.
I think we all know the ways of the birds and the bees.
But in all seriousness, I would like
to make sure that you're both headed on the same path
to share the same ideals and beliefs,
for if not, the marriage could suffer.
So Jason, tell me, which church were you raised in?
Well, I didn't actually go to church.
No worries.
God understands that one must not
be in his house to love him.
Amen.
Are you Roman Catholic?
No.
Protestant?
Mm-mm.
LDS?
Jewish.
Mm.
Well, I see.
I'm sure you understand then that I would not be
able to perform the ceremony.
No, we talked about this.
And Jason has no problem converting.
Actually, I--
Oh, I have a wonderful idea.
We could have Jason baptized at the same time as Emma.
I don't know, [inaudible].
I don't think--
Yeah, that could-- wow.
Oh, no way.
No way I'm getting baptized.
Come on.
It's just a formality.
It's not that big a deal.
I'm Jewish.
You're not that Jewish.
What are you even talking about?
My Grandma Turteltaub would roll in her grave
if she knew I was doing this.
My mom will be so disappointed if we don't
have a wedding at her church.
What wedding, Hillary?
We're not really getting married!
Shh, quiet!
Shh!
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
This is so stupid.
You're right.
This is so stupid.
What am I doing?
This is so stupid.
I mean, here I am, trying to do everything
to make my mother happy.
And for what?
To set her up for my greatest disappointment ever.
And it's so foolish to think Jason is actually coming back.
He's not coming back.
I mean, he's in Pittsburgh.
He's happy to be rid of me.
And even if he did come back, how can I explain that?
It's not like you two are exactly twin brothers.
Here.
Just give the voucher numbers to the airline for your tickets.
Take them.
You earned them.
But the weekend's not even over yet.
Please.
I couldn't expect you to stay when the crap hits the fan.
I mean, God knows you've been through enough already.
[laughs]
Yeah.
So, this is it.
The engagement is off.
Yes.
The engagement is off.
Is there a train or something I should catch?
Yeah.
You missed the 5:30, but I think there's an 11:30.
Well, and that's better.
I should probably wait to leave until after everyone's
gone to bed, so.
Thanks.
Sure.
Yeah, I guess I should pack.
Yes.
I will leave you alone to pack.
OK.
Well, that was fun.
Right?
Yeah.
Good luck with everything.
Thanks.
You, too.
I hope you find the spark in Mexico.
Thanks.
I love you, Joy.
I'm not going to stop because your mom doesn't like me.
Oh, you're so sweet.
But my mom really doesn't like you.
Joy.
Hey, sis.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Joy, is that the waiter from the diner?
Yep.
So are you going to tell mom?
No, of course not.
Thanks.
Stu and I dated for a couple of months before Mom
set me up with the footman.
She thought Stu wasn't good enough,
so she worked her magic.
And the next thing I knew, Stu was out of the picture,
and I was engaged to Pete the podiatrist.
Is that why you haven't set a date?
Mm.
Oh.
Don't get me wrong.
Pete's a good man.
A little weird, but good guy.
I just don't love him, not like I love Stu.
Oh.
So what's really going on with you and Jason?
Jason dumped me a week ago.
So I hired an actor named David to play my fiancé
for the weekend.
You what?
Wait.
I know.
Wait.
OK, so where did Jason or David go?
Left.
Just--
I don't know.
It's-- left.
It's-- I don't know.
Oh, wow.
But you like him.
David, you like David.
What?
I don't like David.
I don't even know David.
It's crazy.
Like David.
I thought he was adorable.
[laughing]
What?
I just thought my life was complicated.
Yeah.
See?
Mom.
Yes.
There's something I have to tell you about Jason.
He dumped me.
I am well aware of what's going on.
You are?
Yes, I saw him leaving last night.
Oh.
That's just part of it.
That's not--
Hillary Jean, I have to say this.
Sweetheart, when are you going to get serious?
You are not a spring chicken anymore.
30's in the rearview mirror, and you have nothing
to show for it.
No career, no direction, and now I guess no Jason.
Guess again.
I found him sitting in his car.
I thought I'd invite him in.
I was going to tell you later.
We're still on?
We're still on.
I just hope everyone knows for the record, none of this
is Hillary's fault.
Oh, no.
OK?
So aren't you two going to kiss and make up?
[laughter]
No.
Go on.
OK.
Should I call Father Macy?
I don't know.
No, no, that's fine.
Call.
Call him.
This.
I should go unpack.
Told you.
Thank you.
Hey, we had a deal, right?
So is your ex or whatever, is she going to Mexico?
Yep.
Well, that's nice.
You guys should have a good time.
I don't know about me.
But I'm sure she and Peggy will have a great time.
What do you mean?
She thought I was giving her the tickets.
Oh, ouch.
So now she and Peggy are going to go to Mexico
and have a little break from Matt.
God, I'm such an idiot.
All this time, I thought that maybe she actually
cared about me.
But you're right.
She was just using me.
It's the story of my life, always the get-back guy,
never just the guy.
Don't give her those tickets.
Oh, what am I going to do with a couple of tickets to Mexico?
Well, it's too late anyway.
She's already halfway up there.
I'm supposed to meet her at the diner in, like, 10 minutes.
Oh, I got to go.
How do I look?
Great.
I don't know.
I feel like I maybe should have worn the Armani.
So I heard about you and Jason.
You know, Hil, I think you need to be careful.
Jason's a good catch.
And good men are few and far between.
If you really feel like he's the one,
you got to sink tooth and nail into keeping him.
Look at Gil and me.
Gil could have had his pick of the crop.
But I made sure that he married me.
Sure I have to put up with his absences, but he's a man.
And you can't change them.
I get it.
But if you don't get it, you better
be sure that there's going to be somebody next in line who will.
Men aren't perfect.
But that Jason of yours comes pretty close.
Yeah.
He's pretty special.
Gil provides for me.
And now all I want is for Emma and whoever
this is to have everything that they deserve.
You're pregnant?
Yes, but don't say anything.
I haven't even told Gil yet.
Aw.
[baby crying]
Where are you going?
Hi, Linds.
So do you have the tickets?
Yeah, about that.
When I told you about these tickets,
I was kind of hoping that you and I would
go and have a really nice--
Oh, my God.
Wait till Matt finds out that I'm going to Mexico.
Right, can we not talk about Matt maybe?
Oh, my God.
He's going to be so pissed.
Sweetie, hi.
Hi.
Muah!
Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.
I had to meet the caterers.
I had another dress fitting.
I'm sorry.
And you are?
Lindsay.
[gasps] Lindsay.
Mm.
[laughs] Lindsay, David told me all about you and Playa Del
Carmen.
God, I guess I'm lucky he's not into party girls, huh?
Did you send her an invite to our wedding?
Wedding?
You didn't send her an invite?
It happened so fast, though.
That's right.
It was just boom, like that.
Love at first sight.
Isn't that right, sweetie?
Mm-hmm.
You're so beautiful.
Thank you.
OK, OK.
Um, David, can I just have the tickets please?
Oops.
David, that's actually why I'm here.
I have to admit, when he first told me about your thing
in Mexico, I was jealous.
I was.
In the heat of the moment, I told
him to give the vouchers away, right?
Because it's not like we're going
to have a honeymoon where he met some girl.
But then I woke up this morning, and I
was like, no, you know what?
The past is the past.
The heck with it.
I mean, he's marrying me, not you.
So I went online.
I traded in the vouchers.
And surprise!
Honeymoon to Playa Del Carmen!
You did?
I did!
Oh, come here!
Mm.
Save some for the wedding night, tiger.
Fine.
I guess I'll just be going then.
Thanks for nothing, David.
Hm?
Oh.
Lindsay, I am so sorry.
I just had no idea what Hillary was capable of.
It's very impressive, actually.
Bye, Lindsay.
[laughter]
Oh, my God.
Woo.
I'm sorry.
I got a little carried away with the--
Oh, yeah, it's fine.
But thank you.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
So, 24 more hours, and we pulled it off.
Yep.
You all right?
Yeah.
Yes, I'm good.
I'm just-- I'm happy we pulled it off,
but it still doesn't change the fact I have to tell my mom that
you and I--
Jason and I, rather, are through.
Yeah.
If we want, we could pull out a knockdown, drag-out fight
for your family.
Then they wouldn't want you to marry me-- or Jason.
True.
Or we could postpone the wedding,
blame it on my grueling work schedule,
and then I come back around Easter.
We can keep this thing going until next Thanksgiving.
No.
You're very sweet, but you've done enough.
Oh, you should just take those tickets and run.
You deserve a vacation.
Besides, maybe you'll find a new spark.
[playing piano]
(SINGING) Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing
over the plains.
And the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Angels we have heard on high.
That's not the second verse.
No?
No.
Really?
All right, go for it.
(SINGING) Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be, which
inspire your heavenly song.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
[applause]
Oh, that was wonderful.
Honey, I haven't heard you sing for so long.
And the two of you together, just beautiful.
Just beautiful.
[door bell]
Yeah.
Jason.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to see you.
Who is it, honey?
Oh.
Mom, dad.
Everybody.
This is Jason.
Happy holidays, everybody.
Mom, mom, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that, but I
didn't want to disappoint you.
So you bring a total stranger into my house?
I would never, ever have believed
that you would be capable of doing something so despicable.
What were you thinking?
Peter and I are breaking up.
Sorry, dude.
[sighs]
Is there any chance you might still be a lawyer then?
Nope.
Hmm.
But you'll still respect that whole client-lawyer
confidentiality thing, right?
Why not?
You know, Joy's available now.
Hillary, can we talk?
Yes.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry about David.
I don't know.
I think I might have lost my mind.
I'm so confused.
I don't know anything anymore.
I understand.
You do?
Because I don't.
People do crazy things when their hearts have been broken.
Besides, harboring grudges is no way
for us to start our future together.
What, our future?
You said I was a mistake.
And I don't know if I want to move to Pittsburgh.
There is no Pittsburgh.
Sharpel gave the promotion to his idiot nephew.
But none of that matters anymore because now we can be together.
I really missed you, Hillary.
You did?
David, what are you doing?
Well, actually, I was just going to go talk to Hillary.
I think that's a bad idea.
In fact, I'm very surprised to see that you're still here.
Weren't you the one that was paid to fill Jason's shoes
to pull the wool over our eyes?
Well, I guess, but--
Well, congratulations, because you did a great job.
You made fools out of all of us.
And now that Jason is here, I really
don't think there's any reason for you to stay.
But I--
Don't.
Don't hurt Hillary's chances.
OK.
No, no, no.
You know what?
You may think that Jason is the perfect son-in-law,
but he's not.
He walked out on Hillary.
She's the one who's perfect.
She's kind and she's beautiful.
And she's a gifted writer.
Have you ever even read one of her articles?
She concocted this whole thing, just because she's
terrified of disappointing you.
All she wants is to keep you happy.
And Meredith, I'm sorry that I deceived you.
I truly am very sorry.
And it's fine if you think that Jason will make her happy,
but have you ever asked Hillary what will make her happy?
Have you?
[laughing]
[sighs]
Oh.
Kiss me.
Hm?
Kiss me.
I really have to get this done.
No, kiss me.
Kiss me like the future Mrs. King.
Kiss me like you love me.
Hillary, I really don't think your parents
house is the place for this.
You do love me, right?
[phone rings]
Go for King.
Bill, it's going to be fine.
Yeah, I'll get there early enough Monday morning.
They'll never know what happened.
I'm always on top of it.
I'll be on top of it now.
Yeah.
Gary will get them to me.
Hi, sweetheart.
Hi, daddy.
I have a question.
Does Jason, the real Jason, not the fake Jason,
does he have any other talents besides being a good lawyer?
What do you mean?
Can he make a turkey?
Maybe play a tune?
Jason?
I don't think so.
Would he make you sing like you did earlier tonight?
You know, I know it doesn't seem like it,
but your mother really just wants you to be happy.
Maybe it's time you told her what you
want if you know what you want.
Do you?
Mom.
Oh, Hillary.
I'm so sorry, honey.
You sent all these beautiful articles, and I'm sorry,
I didn't read them.
Well, it's not like they're really very good.
They are good.
You are a gifted writer.
And I'm glad that newspaper closed down.
You're too good for them.
You've always been a gifted writer,
and all of those wonderful things that David yelled at me.
I just wish that you had told me what Jason did.
I'm sorry that you didn't feel like you could tell me that.
I'm sorry.
If I'd been there.
Do you love Jason?
Not-- I mean the real Jason.
No, I know what you mean.
No.
I think I hate him.
Me, too.
[laughing]
Do you love David?
Mm-hmm.
Well, then.
[engine sputtering]
Oh!
I got to borrow your car.
Thanks.
Now I have four copies ready.
What?
Did you say my car?
Hillary, what?
Where are you going?
I'll call you a cab.
Hi.
How did you--
I borrowed Jason's car.
Oh.
And how did you know where to find me?
Background check, remember?
Oh, right.
You forgot your suitcase.
Oh.
You didn't have to bring it all this way.
I wanted to.
Well, thanks.
And congratulations.
Jason seems like a total jerk.
I know it's not my place to say that, but love is blind, right?
Yeah, it was.
Well, I'm glad you're happy now.
And I'm sure it's going to be a great wedding.
Well, it would be, but I'm missing one
really important thing.
What?
Groom.
There's no groom.
You and Jason?
Nope.
Jason is a total jerk.
You're right.
And a big mistake, huge mistake.
Huge mistake.
OK.
You're here now.
You're here.
Mm-hmm.
What does that make me?
Not a mistake.
