- Hi. - Hi.
Look at how many of us came here
to celebrate a beautiful life.
Darlene would often say,
"Imagine a life without music."
I'm sure many of you would join me
in feeling grateful for that lesson.
As she did with many of her students,
Darlene taught me this song.
So I would like to invite any fellow students
who would like to, to rise and join me in singing
"An die Musik" by Franz Schubert.
- That was beautiful. - Yeah.
- Joel, I'm sorry. - I'm sorry, too.
I miss you.
I know.
Do you ever think about who's gonna come to your funeral?
Hm...
Maybe my dad'll come, and then I'll finally get to meet him.
'Course, I'll be dead.
- But, he showed up. - Yeah.
- Uh, how's the song coming? - Oh, still struggling.
- Yeah. - How about you?
How's your, uh, thing coming together?
Well, I dumped a lot of ideas on the page,
but I haven't figured out the beginning.
Or the end, or the middle.
- Hi. - Hey.
Uh, well, if you wanted, um,
you know, you could come over and, later,
and we could help each other out, work on 'em together.
Yeah, I would totally love that. - Great.
You can come over, too, if you want.
Oh, thank you. I have to grade papers.
- Oh. - Brad: Um,
I'd love for you to come by some time for dinner.
I roast a beautiful chicken.
Oh, yeah, well,
everybody loves chicken.
Hi.
- Come in. - Thank you.
I brought snacks just in case.
Oh, well, I, um,
I put some snacks out just in case. - Aw.
- I learned from the best. - Is that me?
Yeah.
Um, do you want a drink?
I've been working on my teeny 'tinis.
Maybe we should do our assignments first.
Smart.
You know, I was thinking about the key.
Maybe we could transpose it to A.
I love your voice in A. It sounds so good.
Um... Joel?
Um, I'm really sorry.
Oh, no, it's okay. We're all good.
No...
I just wanna-- I wanna try to say something.
I do this...
I don't know, I make all these rules for people
and, um...
I set a lot of...
unfair expectations, um...
because I think it keeps me safe.
It doesn't.
Um... I don't wanna do that anymore.
And, um...
And it's your fault.
Joel: Sam...
- I love you. - Mm...
Joel: D-Don't do that face.
Just listen to me.
I love you.
Thank you.
You know, I think, um...
I think Brad's a really nice guy, Joel.
And I really am happy for you.
I, um...
I am.
Thank you.
Why'd you shave your legs?
Oh... because I'm gonna fuck my neighbor.
The drug dealer?
Yes.
He's probably really good in bed.
Oh, I hope so.
I mean, we'll see, you know?
One thing at a time.
First, I open my heart to you, and then I open my legs to him.
I guess that seems like the logical progression. -
So, we'll see, but I don't-- No promises.
First, we gotta go to this fucking wedding,
and sing fuckin' Ave fuckin' Maria .
- Sam: Morning! - Hey.
Wow. You must have started the crack of dawn.
Yeah. Been here since about 6:00.
- A lot to do. - So...
Wow, what's going on here?
Is this like the Kansas rainbow, or is it a...
No, it's like...
I-It's a love rainbow. It's...
You know, thought it kinda fit the occasion.
- It's really pretty. - You like it?
I love it.
Oh, I have your jacket. Are you gonna get ready here
- or somewhere else? Okay. - No, no. I'm gonna run home.
- Get ready there... - This one goes down here towards me.
Just so you know,
Joel and I made up.
- You did? - Yep.
Oh. That's... Wow.
"Wow" what?
Well, I mean, you just don't, you know,
always let people back in once they've pissed you off, so...
- Well, I did. Okay? - Yeah.
And he and his boyfriend are gonna pick me up
and bring me to the wedding, so...
Oh, okay. Yeah. I see.
Huh. And you're okay with that, huh?
Yeah.
Good. I mean, you know, you're not always...
that great at sharing, so.
Well, I'm mature now, so.
Okay. Well, yeah. Look at us.
And, um, what about Holly?
What, are you still mad at her?
I mean, you've forgiven Joel and me, I think.
- Mm. - You know, sh-she really was gonna tell you
when she got better. She just...
- Didn't. - Yeah.
It's cool.
Chairs or what?
Yeah. So, each... each table gets five.
Sam: Okay.
- Okay... - Drew: Hey.
- Wow. You're all dressed up. - Sam: Oh.
Yeah, I'm going to a wedding. There's an open bar, so.
Oh, I love an open bar.
Well, I'd say you could come by,
but I don't want any trouble.
- Good call. Have fun. - Thank you.
I'll be here, sending selfies to my probation officer.
- Brad: Hi, Sam. - Hi.
You look great.
Oh, thank you.
No, no, no. You've got the long legs.
You sit in front. I'll get in the back.
- You sure? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joel: Um...
Sam: What?
We saw all of that.
I think you should go for it. - Sam: Can we just go?
He's gonna think we're talking about him.
Joel: Oh, we are talking about him. - He is very cute.
Would that be a pound?
- Joel: Yeah, that'd be a pound. - Oh, my God.
Let's get to that wedding.
Sam: Hi.
- Tricia: Hey, how's it going? - Good.
- Have you met Brad? - No!
- Brad: Hi. - Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Tricia.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Well, it looks wonderful. - It really does.
- Thanks. - Wanna look around?
- Yeah. - Yeah, sure. Go ahead.
Just, you know, just don't touch anything.
- I won't. - Okay? Good.
So, is that how you're wearing it? - Um, yeah.
- Okay, good... Yeah. - Does it look okay?
- Thank you. - Oh, good. There's the caterers.
They're so fucking late. I'll be right back.
- Uh, do you want some help? - Tricia: No, I'm good!
Hi! The seats are just right that way.
So this should be one brisket, one chicken.
Okay. So, you're gonna take it in here,
go to the right, far back.
- Okay. - Right corner, right-hand corner.
Tiffani: Uh, this is my date, Jen.
Brad: Oh, hi.
- How are you? - I'm good.
Have you met Irma?
Hi, Irma. I've heard about you.
It's gonna go chicken, brisket,
- biscuits, cornbread, beans! - Caterer: Mm-hmm.
Lemme make sure that you don't have anything left back here!
Fred?
- Hey. - Fred: Oh, hey.
You two good?
- Yeah. - We're okay.
- Oh, good. - Are you okay?
- Yeah. - You sure?
- Yeah. - Sam: It's not too late to back out.
No.
- Did you make her sign a prenup? - No.
I'm the one that had to sign the prenup.
I don't wanna rush you. I know you're having, like,
- a moment, but it's time. - Yeah, I know.
- You wanna go? - Yeah.
What's the worst that could happen? Let's do it. - Alright. Now?
- Fuck yeah, right now. - Yeah, we're actually gonna go now.
Come on, you're all dressed up. - It's so pretty.
- Joel: It is gorgeous. - Sam: How about people see that beautiful suit?
Joel: They get to see it from the behind. Come on.
- Everybody can see this suit. - That's right.
- Joel: Stand right over there. - Sam: Alright, all your friends. Here we go.
Joel: Okay? You stand-- You just stand... - I'm gonna grab my music,
and let's get this shit started. - Joel: Alright.
Fred: My God. Is she here yet?
Alright, how do I look?
- Sharp. - Great.
- I know. - Joel: You good?
She's late, right?
- Ah. - Joel: Turn around.
Fred: Hey.
Oh, my God.

Joel: When Fred asked me
to speak today, I-I felt so...
terrified.
You know, we're surrounded by these beautiful fields.
Last year at this time, they were filled with corn.
And, this year, they have soybeans.
Fred taught me
that the reason you change those crops
is to keep the soil fertile and rich,
so that it can provide new life
year after year after year.
I know from talking to Fred and Susan,
they're so excited about this journey
that they're taking together, but I also know that
with any change,
there's fear, apprehension.
Sometimes though, just like with these crops,
change can bring miraculous growth.
So, Fred and Susan,
here, in this special place
where seeds have been planted,
where hard work has been done,
where there has been grief
and joy, storms, and music,
we promise to hold you
as you go forward.
We promise to do it with all of our actions, but...
you know it's my job here right now
to say it with words, too.
You are loved.
We love you.
And we love your love.
So now, let's get on with it, right?
The main event!
Fred and Susan...
Oh, I could add that to my bracelet from the--
- Do you have a charm bracelet? - Yes, from the Vatican.
Tiffani: What's going on, everybody? Welcome!
- Yeah, we having a good time tonight? Let's go!
Before we get down to it,
it is my honor to introduce the newlyweds,
Fred and Susan!
Thank you!
Hey, baby!
Come on, baby.
Ah, one more.
- Hey! Thank you, thank you, Tiffani. -
Oh, we are so overwhelmed by all of this.
Thank you. We love you all.
And we wanted to thank Tricia Murphy
and Trish Upon A Star for everything being so beautiful!
Tricia!
And, thanks, Dad.
I, um...
It means a lot that you're here.
And now, I would like to pass this off
to my husband!
That's me! That's me!
- That's the first time she said it. It's real! - Guests: Yeah!
- And she's my wife! - Woo!
And, uh, I'd like to say a few words
about our host who's not here.
About a year ago,
Sam asked me to come out on the farm,
uh, to help her out.
And from the moment I walked in,
I felt such a deep connection with Ed.
You know, we were just two guys
who shared a love of the land.
It wasn't about him accepting me.
It wasn't about being nice.
He just saw me.
That's a rare thing, no matter where I am.
So, if he were here today,
my friend Ed would be my best man.
So, raise your glasses, everybody. Raise 'em high!
This is to Ed.
Guests: To Ed!
Fred: Thank you!
Tiffani: Alright, alright, alright! Who's ready to party?

Wow.
I love it when you sing like that.
I forgot how it makes me feel.
- Thank you. - You killed it.
You know what? You killed it.
- Oh, come on. - No, you did. I mean,
this is not at all what I was expecting. -
Well, I had a million more ideas.
Like, I wanted to do these little burlap flowers
in mason jars on all the tables.
And I had this, um, groom cake topper
that was in a little three-piece suit. So cute.
Oh, you know what would've been great? - Hm?
Some little monkey butts by the dessert spoons.
I knew that was you that took it, by the way. -
Got it right by my toilet.
It reminds me to keep it clean, you know?
No, they said they wanted simple, and so...
You know, I think it turned out pretty great. - It definitely did.
You know, I saw you during the ceremony
gettin' all emo.
- Oh, you stalking me? - Maybe.
I can't help it. I just can't help it.
Seeing Fred and Susan like that?
Oh...
Just love is so beautiful.
Just a crazy thing that's been happening
over and over again for thousands of years. It's...
I don't know.
Kinda seemed like you were over it the other night.
Well, yeah, I'm over Rick, but I'm not...
I'm not over love.
Oh, is it really? Happy birthday.
Uh, hello?
- Hello!
My name is Sam Miller. I'm friends with Fred.
Congratulations, Fred and Susan!
- Thank you for the open bar. We appreciate it.
Fred asked me to sing something tonight
that would make him happy, so that's what we're gonna do.
We've never done this song before, but fuck it.
What's the worst that can happen, right?
- Hit the track!
I think some of you might know this song.
- We got a super-fan in the house tonight! -
