All right, Anna, comedy or tragedy?
Comedy!
Laughter is always preferable to tears--
unless it is tears from laughter,
which I also enjoy.
If we can hear it over your new neighbors
and their endless mariachi celebration.
I know, it's been non-stop with those people
ever since they moved in.
Music is to be enjoyed.
Not to be audible from outer space.
That is so loud.
Right?
Oh, but even still,
I love your weekend visits.
I wish that you didn't have to go back so soon.
I know, but my batteries are recharged,
and I've got to go back to my real life
and get my firm off the ground.
Well, I'm proud of you,
because it's not every day a lawyer chooses integrity
over a paycheck!
Oh, well, don't congratulate me yet.
I may have to go crawling back to a big firm
if I can't get my own off the ground.
Stop it.
You are smart and capable
and determined.
And I take full credit for that
because that's the way I raised you!
What?
That's it, this is ridiculous.
What?
Let's go!
I have to meet them sometime!
Okay!
Just be careful.
We don't want some hatfields and mccoys feud
with the new neighbors.
Well, I hope not,
because the hatfields killed the mccoys.
It wasn't over mariachi music,
so I think we're safe.
But, just in case, I'm your backup.
You're always looking out for me.
Ah, my, my.
Yes, yes.
Wait, you're our new neighbor?
You're Sean castleberry!
That's what it says on my driver's license,
it must be true.
Don't believe the date of birth part.
I'm really much younger than that.
Could you turn that down, please?
Wireless speakers.
So, you heard I was in town making a movie,
and you've come by for a selfie, right?
Not exactly.
No?
We're here to remind you that you have neighbors.
There are other people in the world.
Ah.
Got it, yes. My music.
Please accept my apologies.
Hey!
Is that darn music still too loud?
Actually, it was even louder than before.
Well, I've never been into salsa music,
but I'm playing a dance instructor
in this new movie,
and I'm just getting it all in my head now.
I love it.
How do you like my moves?
Spectacular.
Best I've ever seen.
Now, would you mind keeping it to a dull roar?
I know, you're upset
because I haven't come next door
to introduce myself.
It's just that I'm in Seattle for a very short time.
Much as we'll all miss you when you're gone,
might I suggest you invest
in a pair of headphones?
Have a nice night...
Nice neighbors!
Nice ladies...
Unbelievable!
Who does he think he is?
Okay, aunt belle,
this is my third message in the past two days.
Where are you?
I'm walking into my new office now,
so call me there, okay?
I left the new number on my last few voicemails.
I'll talk to you soon.
Okay, bye.
Where is she?
Look, Mrs. O'healey...
Gloria.
I understand,
this is a very difficult time for you,
but I've handled many sensitive divorces,
and I'm going to make this as painless as possible.
I'm here for you 24/7, okay?
I will call you as soon as I speak to his lawyer.
All right, you too.
Okay, bye-bye.
Is Gloria signing with us?
She is.
Poor thing,
this is really rough on her.
I'm going to have to do a little hand-holding here.
She could've chosen any firm and she chose you.
It's a testament to your reputation.
It's a start.
It's a great start.
Wealthy doctor's soon-to-be ex?
She'll keep us afloat for a while.
That's not why we do this, em.
Can you get me the file
for the Avery divorce?
You know, Anna, it's after 6:00, so...
We should go home,
because that's what normal people do.
They work and they leave said work.
It's after 6:00 already?
I'm calling my aunt again.
Your aunt is allowed to have a life,
unlike the rest of us.
I know that.
But she's usually so quick to return my calls,
I'm starting to worry.
What if something happened?
Nothing has happened.
I can't find the Avery file.
Who packed these boxes?
You did.
When I was home last month.
Well, I am so fired, I should probably leave.
Ah, finally!
I was so worried.
I am so sorry.
I was actually out of town
and I forgot to bring my phone with me.
I didn't even get your messages until right now.
It's okay, you're forgiven.
I'm just so glad you're all right.
Did you go camping?
No, I was at an incredible spa resort.
With a friend.
Really?
With a man friend, perhaps?
Yes, he is all that.
Aunt belle!
This is great news.
It's been two years since you and Walter broke up,
I didn't know you were dating again.
Well, it's actually a bit more than dating.
Wait...
I'm engaged!
What? To who?
To whom?
Are you really correcting my grammar
at a time like this?
Anna, there is never a good time
for improper grammar.
Okay, well then,
to whom are you getting married?
Sean castleberry.
That's great, I just,
I really hope it's not on the same day
as my wedding to Bradley Cooper.
I'm not joking, honey.
Wait, seriously?
A month ago, you hated him,
and now you're marrying this guy?
And he's been married so many times.
I mean, does he get a set of steak knives
on the 10th wife?
Well, I could certainly use
a new set of steak knives,
but I'm not sure it works that way.
Hello, Anna.
Hi, Mr. Castleberry.
You're there.
That... that's really great.
Please. Sean.
And it's not 10 marriages, Anna,
it's only three.
Sometimes, in life, you have to kiss a few frogs.
But that's all behind me now,
ever since I met this woman I'm so crazy about.
When did this happen?
Well, we've been seeing each other
since you left,
and I didn't mention it
because I wanted to make sure it was real first.
Nothing has ever been more real.
I said that line in a soap opera once.
Of course you did.
Uh, um, oh, uh, darling,
there's just one more thing...
The wedding is going to be in two weeks.
What? W-Why?
Why is the wedding in two weeks?
That's very soon.
Well, I'm shooting a movie.
As soon as I finish,
I can't wait to start my new life
with your wonderful aunt.
Or is it "ah-nt".
Ah, tomato, Tom-ah-to.
This is our first fight, by the way.
We'll get through it, I know we will.
Um...honey.
I-I really hope you can get away.
I want you to be my maid of honor.
Oh, trust me, I will be there,
and I will see you very soon.
Bye!
Wow.
Keep a close eye on her blood pressure
and notify me of any changes in either direction.
Jake called.
Well, that's never a good sign,
hearing from my dad's assistant, is it?
Nope.
Do you want me to get him on the line?
Mm-hmm.
Nice to see you again.
What?
In two weeks, they say, "I do."
He never learns.
Especially after the last wife did a number on him
and his bank account.
Well, you want him to be happy, don't you?
Yeah, of course, Jake,
I'm not a monster,
but why does he have to marry them
every single time?
A hopeless romantic?
Yeah, well, thanks for letting me know.
Again?
Yeah, apparently,
he rented the house next door
to the luckiest gold-digger in Seattle
while shooting his movie there.
You're going to Seattle, aren't you?
What about the conference?
It was an honor just to be asked, right?
A huge honor.
I'm sure there's someone else
who can do the keynote
on breakthroughs in lumbar spinal fusion, right?
I should've known it was too good to be true.
Don't cancel just yet.
Deal with your dad,
and then get a flight to Miami from there.
You can still make
some of the conference.
And the best part of the trip,
a few relaxing days on the beach.
He always does this at the worst possible times.
What do you want me to do?
Book me a flight to Seattle.
A.s.a.p.
Thank you.
And I will be accessible at any time,
so make sure every client has my cell phone number,
especially Gloria.
And did you reschedule the foster arbitration?
Done.
And did aunt Suzie call? Is she picking me up?
She's meeting you at the curb.
How long will you be gone?
Hopefully, a few days, tops.
This is not a good time for me to be away,
but I will get this nonsense under control
and head back.
That word rears its ugly head.
What word, "nonsense?"
No, "control."
You cannot control everything, Anna.
It's not about control, em,
it's about protection.
He's a movie star.
He dates glamorous Hollywood types.
What does he want with a retired art teacher
from Seattle?
Maybe it's love.
No, it's not love, I've met him.
He's a slick one.
That type of charm is dangerous.
I've got to figure out what's really going on.
I'm not going to let my aunt be another notch in his belt,
which I'm sure is Gucci.
It's fine,
I will work while I'm gone.
I have this under con--
it's fine.
This is family.
Boarding pass
and itinerary.
Just for the wrong location.
Oh, I haven't given up on that conference just yet.
Do you know, it's been more than 20 years
since my mom died,
and he keeps finding these women.
You know, sure, they seem great at first.
They're beautiful, and funny, and smart,
and then, bam, they hit you right in the wallet.
Are you talking about your dad's experience
or your own?
Both.
But I've learned from my mistakes.
He never does.
What is it that he's searching for?
If only I could figure that out.
Oh, passion?
Love?
What everybody wants.
Annabelle Colton,
north Seattle high, class of 2002.
Cheerleader,
captain of the debate team.
This has to be her.
It's right where he rented the house.
Ah-hah.
And this is her today.
Annabelle,
a.k.a. Belle.
Beautiful, young,
and probably looking to land a windfall.
But she is in for a rude awakening.
I know, Gloria, but you have nothing to worry about.
I am in constant contact with his lawyer.
What can I say--
oh!
I'm going to have to call you back.
Great, phone's dead.
Why don't you watch where you're going?
Well, the same could be said for you.
Don't text and walk, isn't that what people say?
Oh, I'm sorry, I must've missed that p.S.A.
It doesn't matter anyway,
since you've killed my phone.
I killed your phone?
You killed my shirt.
My favorite shirt.
That's your favorite shirt?
Doesn't even look like a contender for "favorite."
I think you could do better.
Well, it's much nicer
when it's not covered in caramel macchiato.
Yeah, well, so is my blazer.
Have we met?
No, I don't think so. I think I'd remember you.
Did you just come in on the flight from Boston?
San Francisco.
Huh...
So, what are you going to do about my phone?
What are you going to do about my shirt?
You going to have it dry cleaned?
You know what, I would, but my ride just got here.
Put some club soda on it.
Problem solved.
Stick your phone in some rice, problem solved.
Wish I could say it was a pleasure.
Yeah, it wasn't.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for picking me up, Jake,
since my dad still won't answer any of my calls.
What, he has to have you tell me all this big news now?
He can't even tell me himself?
Well, maybe he knew you'd try to talk him out of it.
Besides, I've gotten very good at dropping bombshells
after two decades of working for your father.
It's on my resume now.
Two wives in the last five years,
and I'm supposed to, what, just congratulate him?
Belle is different.
Oh-ho, yeah, I'm sure she is, Jake.
They all are.
They don't care that he's a movie star, no.
No, they would love him just the same
if he were a bank teller.
Please, I've heard it all before.
Well, just try to reserve judgment
until after you've met her,
will you?
I think she's going to surprise you.
Yeah, I think not.
I can't believe
you're being so blase about all this.
Well, it's her time, Anna.
It's a little bit later than most people,
but everybody deserves to find their great love.
And sometimes, you just need to let people
make their own mistakes.
Because they don't listen to you anyway
when they are so sure
that they are ready to tie the knot.
I can't believe you're going to throw
the biggest mistake of my life in my face
at a time like this.
I was 19.
I was young and stupid,
and I have been careful about my decisions ever since.
What's belle's excuse?
She doesn't need one.
Sean's the best.
We all adore him.
What about his history, aunt Suzie?
No, that's the tabloid Sean.
Trust me, you get to know him, he's completely different.
Plus, he's introducing me to George Clooney
at the wedding.
I just...
I'm just glad dad's not here to see all this.
He was so protective of you and aunt belle.
What would he say
about his sister marrying a virtual stranger?
I'm not certain,
but I think he'd say, "you go, girl."
Aunt belle?
She knew I was coming home today.
Well, it looks like she had other plans.
Salsa?
I hope she's talking about chips and dip.
She hates dancing.
He's pulled her to the dark side, aunt Suzie.
I have to go and open the shop,
so I can't wait with you,
but try to keep an open mind.
I'm telling you, my sister is a new woman.
Salsa?
Our best leverage is the fact
that you helped put your husband through medical school.
California is a community property state,
so you have absolutely nothing to worry about here.
Okay, um, we will talk later.
What?
How...
How on earth did you find me here?
Is this about your phone?
You, um, looked very different out of context.
That's why I couldn't place you.
I see you've changed.
It's much, much better.
This should, uh,
this should really be your favorite.
Clay. Clay castleberry.
Sean's son.
That figures.
And you're Annabelle Colton.
Your father isn't here.
Actually, I didn't come here to see my father,
I came here to see you.
Oh, great, just let yourself in.
Yeah.
I mean, if you're going to marry my father,
I thought we might as well get acquainted,
alone.
Right, belle?
Of course.
So...
How much?
Excuse me?
Look, I'm sure
you're a perfectly nice person, Annabelle,
but everyone has a price.
What are you talking about?
Look, let's just save my father
another long and painful divorce.
How much is it going to take
to, uh, call off the engagement?
Wow, that is quite an offer, Clay.
You know, I really, truly don't know.
I'm gonna have to do some math here,
figure out a good price...
Anna!
Clay, you're here!
You're looking well.
-Hi, dad. -Good to see you.
Looking good.
I see you've met belle's niece,
Anna.
So lovely to see you again.
And this, of course, is the love of my life,
Ms. Belle Colton.
Belle, and...
Annabelle.
Yes.
Her father was my big brother,
and we were very close,
so Anna was named after me.
Very close.
She raised me.
I would do anything for her.
It is so nice to meet you, Clay.
Your father raves about you.
I also rave about anchovies.
Don't let it go to your head.
You guys seem like you are a lot alike.
We were just getting acquainted
when you walked in.
He's special.
Well, it's a nice day,
why don't we all go next door to my place
and fire up the barbecue?
It'd give us a chance
to get to know each other better.
Sounds good.
Great, I'll get some food together,
and we'll meet you next door.
See you later, Clay.
Yeah.
Remember that commercial I did
for the grill?
How could I forget?
That was a pretty good grill...
I picked up some burgers yesterday.
You know, Anna,
you are going to adore Sean
once you get to know him.
Everyone does.
You didn't at first.
How can you possibly know him in one month?
I know everything I need to know.
Come on...
I'll tell you one thing,
she's got the kindest heart I've ever met.
Kind of reminds me of your mother.
Look, I'm sure she's very nice,
and I get that you like her,
but why rush things?
Like we said before on the phone,
Sean's movie finishes in a few days,
and we just can't wait to start our life together.
Are you sure you don't want to think this through
a little more?
I would just hate to see you get hurt.
Sean would never hurt me.
I would never hurt her.
I'm worried about you.
Remember what happened with--
that name that can't be said.
Okay, well, you were so sure about...
Yeah, yeah.
...her.
And look what happened, she destroyed you.
I just don't want to see that happen to you again.
I appreciate that, thank you,
but this time,
slam dunk.
Right here.
-Hello. -Hi.
Can I take something?
Sure.
Great.
Why didn't you tell me who you were?
Oh, I didn't really have time.
You were so busy negotiating your bribe.
It wasn't a bribe, it was an offer.
I don't know what circles you run in, Clay,
but my aunt cannot be bought.
They're not my circles.
They're my father's.
Well, I'm not going to allow your father,
and his very obvious mid-life crisis
to take advantage of my aunt.
Him take advantage of her?
That's not normally the case
where the castleberrys are concerned.
My aunt could care less
about any of that celebrity stuff.
Look, I'm sure she's a very wonderful person,
and I imagine they think that this is true love.
It's not. It's adrenaline, disguised as love.
I'm a divorce lawyer,
I've seen this a million times.
Hi.
Hello, I'm Jake.
This is Anna.
I'm Anna.
It's nice to meet you, Anna.
Will you both be joining us?
Yes. Very soon.
They need to put on the brakes.
Get to know each other,
see if they fit into each other's lives.
Then, a few months down the road--
if they're still together--
if they're still together,
see what happens.
They can't get married in two weeks.
It's an absolute recipe for disaster.
So we stop the wedding?
We have no choice.
So, counselor, what's the plan?
I'm supposed to come up with a plan?
Well, you seem like the sort of person
who always has a plan.
I've never been in this position before.
You, however, have.
What do you think?
Well, you kind of squashed it this morning.
That was your plan?
That wasn't a plan,
that was an act of desperation.
Pardon me for my lack of experience here,
but I didn't step in early enough last time,
and I'm not okay with a repeat performance.
Gail, his former wife, was a demonic human being--
though to call her a human
is an insult to humans everywhere, trust me.
Well, I can assure you,
my aunt is nothing like that.
I get it. She's a dream,
but it still doesn't dismiss the fact
that this is insane--
--and then, I did my surgical residency in Boston
and I never left.
Boston, oh, how fascinating--
Clay, how do you take your burgers?
Uh, medium, please.
Look, we need to figure this out soon,
because I left a very important new client behind,
and I need to get back.
Mm-hmm, and I'm supposed to be in Miami on Friday,
doing my first keynote
to a conference of prominent orthopedists.
We're all sacrificing something here.
Look at them...
They look like teenagers.
Here, I'm going to take this.
I'm going to save you with this.
You know, some pre-marital appetizers are okay...
You know what this is?
Hmm?
It's a vacation romance.
Yeah, well, vacations always end.
You know that, and I know that,
we just need to get them to see
that this is not real life.
So I'm up for the role of a lifetime,
this is about 30 years ago.
It's James Bond.
Between Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton,
and they're seeing everybody in town,
but I'm the only non-brit.
So I figure,
I gotta work on this accent.
I hire a dialect coach, the best guy in town.
I'm pumped, we're ready,
I've been working on this.
It's the money shot, audition day, I'm there,
the director says, "action!"
"Bond.
James Bond."
Hey says, "cut. Please, cut!"
I think it serves them right
for not casting me
that that whole franchise just tanked after that.
He has such great stories.
I could just listen for hours.
And he can certainly talk for hours.
So, how did you get together?
I tried to have him arrested.
I warned him about the music.
Oh, yes.
Ah, but I had this clever ruse
to get her to come back over.
When the police arrived,
they posed for selfies.
She finally gave me a chance to apologize
and let me take her to dinner.
Just like a fairy tale.
And you two find
that your lives are complementary?
I mean, you're from very different worlds.
True.
I like salty, he likes sweet.
She's an early riser, I'm a night owl.
I'm farm-to-table,
and he's more...
Room service to bed.
Now, that you could learn to love.
Give it a chance.
I think that if people work at it,
and they're meant to be,
they can make it all happen.
We just want to settle down,
and buy a ranch,
grow our own vegetables,
and own a few horses.
It's like I told you when I retired last year,
that that was always my dream.
I just, um, never thought it would actually happen.
Okay, hold on,
buy a ranch?
Dad, you loathe getting dirty.
Yes, but the offers that I get these days
are not all that inspiring.
I think maybe it's time to hang up the Hollywood hat
and try something a little simpler.
I am determined to get some dirt
under your father's perfectly manicured fingernails.
Not too much, not too much.
Have you tried being the outdoorsy type yet?
Without a stunt double?
That was a good one.
I have not,
but I do think that I can accomplish anything
with belle by my side.
Sure, my dad wants to hang up his hat
and become grizzly Adams
when the offers aren't coming in,
but that's just in theory,
not practice.
Wait till belle takes him out on the hiking trails.
It's like her sanctuary.
She's all business out there.
Have you seen her paintings?
No, I haven't,
but that sounds like torture to my father.
He likes spas
and air conditioning
and indoor plumbing.
He'll hate her life.
Well...
Maybe we should let him see.
He thinks he'll love it.
We could be wrong.
After all,
the great outdoors are beautiful.
Not to mention invigorating.
The fresh air filling your lungs.
All those adorable
little creatures?
So, we're going hiking tomorrow?
What an excellent idea.
I'm so glad you thought of it.
Your break.
Three, two, one.
Not bad.
I want that part. Come on, go get it.
I mean, you know I'm perfect for it.
It reads like it was written for me.
Yes, this is my real hair.
I-- you--
just go get it.
Hey, where are your hiking boots, Sean?
Oh...
Right here. Fresh off the rack.
Clay has the rest of your survival gear.
Always looking out for him.
Well, somebody has to.
Lucky me.
Well, I guess it's a perfect day to be hiking.
It's also a perfect day to be employed.
Please try not to kill him.
No, no, I'm taking him up
to my favorite place in the whole world.
Oh, this will be so great.
Yeah, remember the "don't kill him" part.
Yes, sweetheart.
Isn't it incredible out here?
"Incredible" is not the word that comes to mind.
Come on, dad, we're going to climb that rock.
Come on, Clay, I'll race you.
Clearly, you've done this before.
Hey, hey, we should slow down for them.
We're almost there!
Wait till you see this view!
Wow!
The hills are alive with the sound of wheezing.
Hey, can we stop at the sherpa station
and get some help?
It's a killer view up here, dad.
Don't say, "killer" at a time like this.
Breathe in that air.
Crisp, clear, fresh.
Imagine this every single day of your life..
It's like living in a dream.
You're endangering my life here.
He's very dramatic.
He's always very dramatic, belle.
It's what he's good at.
I don't like heights!
I don't like being this tall.
Where's the tram?
My kingdom for a funicular!
You're doing great, sweetheart.
This is going so well.
Maybe I'll make that conference after all.
Are those seagulls or vultures?
They're just-- careful, love!
I want to go home.
You hear that?
That's the sound of trouble in paradise.
This is more my style.
You're good. Come on. Get up.
All right, that's off my bucket list, thank you.
Give me your hand.
So, counselor, why divorce?
It's a difficult time for people,
and I help them navigate it.
Yeah, I don't know,
the demise of someone's relationship?
It just seems so depressing.
See, I prefer putting people back together.
Well, maybe by breaking them apart,
I am putting them back together.
Just individually.
Over here.
You can be alive and yet be so miserable
that you're not really living.
People are always chasing a feeling.
Love puts you on top of the world,
and then there's that inevitable crash,
and boom,
you're right back where you started.
See, and I've found it's not so much love
as it is convenience,
or opportunity.
How many times do I have to tell you
my aunt is not like that?
Probably a few more.
But we need to stop this now,
before they move to L.A.
What do you mean?
Yeah, my dad told me
that they're going to sell belle's house
and buy a ranch in Malibu.
His movie wraps tomorrow.
All that's left is them packing up everything
and then going to live happily ever after.
I figured she might go back with him,
but it never occurred to me that she would sell our house.
Wait, belle's house is your house?
My mom died when I was three,
so belle moved in with us.
Whoa.
That was pretty selfless of her.
She gave up so much for me,
which is why I have to protect her now.
But that was our home.
Well, at least you had a home.
When your father's an actor,
home is a series of random hotel rooms.
What about your mom?
She died when I was 12.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I don't think he ever got over it.
It is beautiful, thought, right?
I'll take your word for that,
and I'll wait and see the picture.
Home for me is...
Has become the operating room.
In the operating room, I always know what to do.
I'm in complete control.
People talk about being in control
like it's some character flaw.
Right?
As if being reckless
makes life somehow more worthwhile.
But I don't think that we have anything to worry
about her moving away.
Look at him.
How you making out there, dad?
I feel I am near death.
May history remember me kindly.
Well, you'd better hope
another actor that's more famous than you
doesn't die on the same day,
'cause he'll take top billing.
A fate worse than death!
Come on, you guys,
the tide's low.
I want to show you something.
Oh, good, there's more.
All right, come here, I'll pull you.
Come on, dad.
You got this.
Oxygen...
Paramedic.
Come on, old man.
Are you pulling him? That's great.
There you go.
Break 'em up.
Belle seemed so at ease on the trail today.
But, uh...
No offense intended,
you have a very limited outdoor skill set.
Yeah.
You know, that's a long time for an actor to be outside
with no hair and makeup.
I liked it, though.
I think I'll get better at it.
You do, huh?
Uh-huh.
Well, I think the two of you couldn't be any more different.
Well, you've probably heard
that opposites attract.
It wouldn't a bad idea for you to find somebody
who expands your horizons.
Hmm.
What about dating?
What was that last girl's name?
Vivian. And no, I'm not dating.
A lot of opportunists out there, dad.
Guys like you and I,
we have to be careful.
Really?
That's kind of a cynical overview, I think.
Why do you always think
that people have a hidden agenda?
Well...
Because they usually do.
Oh...
You of all people should understand that.
Nice shot.
It would be a shame
if a couple of unfortunate romantic experiences
were to set you back.
I do believe
that there are some great opportunities
out there
when you just keep your mind open to it.
Open.
You know, speaking of "open,"
I noticed you don't open your mail anymore.
Why not?
That's what we have Jake for.
You know, I come into town,
we get all kinds of nice opportunities,
invitations, uh,
red carpet, black tie...
How does belle feel
about all those fancy shindigs of yours?
I don't know, we haven't done one.
What?
Dad, that's a huge part of your life.
You need to let her in
and see everything.
I'll tell you what,
why don't we pick an event out of that pile there,
and you take her for a night out?
I like that idea.
Take your best shot, see what you find.
Perfect.
The opera guild.
Opera, perfect.
Fancy, elegant, that's my girl.
Hmm, I'm sure belle will have an incredible time.
I'll get Jake to r.S.V.P.
And, uh, thank you.
Thank you, that was a good idea.
Yeah.
Good, soundly son-to-father advice.
Hmm.
How is it that you have managed to stay single
all this time?
Aw, you know what, dad, that's okay.
You fall in love enough for the both of us.
Don't you?
Yeah...
And all that whining and complaining.
He was like a big baby in hiking boots.
Next time will be better.
And besides,
I never should've taken him up to wilkes point,
but he admired the painting so much.
Good thing I'm not looking for a hiking buddy.
Well...
I'm sure there are plenty of beginner trails
to hit in Malibu,
when you sell the house.
I was going to tell you,
I just wanted to ease you into it, honey.
I know the wedding bomb was a lot.
So you're just going to sell the house
and move to the land of sweaty yoga and juice cleanses?
Unless you want to live here, honey.
Your father left the house
to both of us.
I can't move back here.
I mean, my business is in San Francisco.
Yes, I understand all that,
but you can't be all business, all the time, sweetheart.
You need to enjoy your life.
I enjoy my life.
Do you? What do you do for fun?
My work is fun.
What about dating?
I don't have time for that right now.
I just went out on my own, I started my own firm.
It's about priorities.
What?
I wish you would make passion a priority.
After all these years,
I finally have,
and I've never been happier.
Hmm?
Psst!
Hey!
Hey...
Your text said you had a plan b.
What is it?
An opera guild event,
black tie affair Friday night.
Oh...
Celebrities, athletes, red carpet, the whole nine.
Oh, a little glimpse into Sean's not so simple life?
Yeah, I convinced him to bring belle,
where she'll be ignored all night long,
which is what he does.
When you're a celebrity, you belong to the people.
That's what he says,
that doesn't sound very nice.
I don't like the idea of belle being ignored all night.
Yeah, but this is his life.
She needs to see if she can handle it.
Okay, that's good, that's good,
but we should go, too.
Wait, like a... Like together?
Yeah.
-Like a date? -No.
Because I've been asked on dates before,
and it kind of sounds like you're asking me out.
I'm not,
I'm asking you on a plan.
Disguised as a date,
so, technically, it is a date.
What about your talk?
Isn't that on Friday?
I already told them to replace me on the keynote.
Maybe I can make it later in the conference.
Oh, good.
Since, you know, you're not working fast enough
on the task at hand.
What? I'm not working fast enough?
I'm doing everything I can here,
all while trying to appease a client
who is getting increasingly more frustrated
every minute that I'm gone!
So sensitive, Anna.
I was only kidding.
I knew that.
What is that!
I have no idea.
Okay, so...
Friday night?
-It's a date-- -it's a plan.
It's a date with a plan.
It's a plan with a date.
That's still a date.
I guess I need to go get a dress.
Yeah.
Good plan.
Good night.
Thank you.
Come again.
Oh, now, that could work.
I want you to be the Annabelle of the ball.
Cute. Very cute.
But I'm just going to be there for belle.
Clay says she'll probably be ignored the whole time.
Tell me about Clay.
Belle said he's the whole package.
He sure seems to think so.
Oh, listen to you,
you're going to this fancy event
with a handsome surgeon
and you're acting like you didn't even notice him.
Oh, please, Clay is not--
charming?
Successful? Gorgeous?
He's a little too sure of himself.
And that's a bad thing?
That kind of charm is a defense mechanism.
I've seen it in a thousand depositions.
So he needs a little time to let people in.
Congratulations, that makes him human.
You do it, too.
I do not.
I'm just saying
let belle be,
she can handle whatever happens.
You need to let go
and enjoy your date.
It's not a date.
Hello. Can I help you?
It's a plan.
Anna, the car is here!
Am I underdressed for you?
No.
Hello, Clay.
You look beautiful.
Wow.
You look...
You too.
Okay, let's do this.
What do I say if they ask me any questions?
Well, you just be yourself.
They're gonna love you.
Hello!
Just remember
when they're taking all these pictures,
keep your eyes above the flashbulbs,
otherwise you'll be blind all night.
Should we just...
We'll meet you inside.
Good luck.
-Good luck! -Okay, have fun.
This is a zoo.
This is his life.
Now you know why I live in Boston.
Excuse me?
Yes, hello.
Can we get you to step back there
so we can get Sean alone?
Go, go, darling.
See you in a minute.
Hello.
Hello, have you met Corinne, my lovely co-star.
They just pushed her aside.
It happens all the time.
...and she's actually shared with me
that the word on the street is
you're lobbying for the part of Finley Charles
in the latest superhero franchise.
Care to comment?
I don't know what street that is.
But I'll wait, I'll answer the phone.
But that's a great role,
and, uh, that would be exciting, wouldn't it?
By the way, you have almost met
my beautiful fiancee.
This is the lovely belle Colton.
Fiancee? Oh, my goodness.
Come here!
Hello.
This is amazing, we had no idea.
You know, it's been a long time
since I've been on a, um...
Plan
with a beautiful woman.
Really? How long?
Well, I was engaged just over a year ago.
What happened?
If you don't mind my asking.
No, no, it's fine.
Some women just want to marry a doctor,
and they don't care what name
comes in front of the letters "m.D."
As long as it's part of the signature.
It doesn't hurt if his dad's a movie star either.
Oh, that sounds like a gem.
That's not the word that I would use.
What about you?
I left my old firm
because they were all about the bottom line.
They were fleecing clients, and I just couldn't do that,
so I started my own practice,
and it's a lot,
building a business from the ground up.
So, that's my focus right now.
My father always accuses me
of hiding in my work.
Apparently, to him,
if you're not falling in love every six months,
you're not really living.
My aunts say the same thing to me,
"why aren't you dating?
"Get on one of those websites.
What happened to the chef?"
Ooh, what did happen to the chef?
His one and only redeeming quality
was his souffle.
Mm, I love a good souffle.
Aw, shucks,
should've married him, huh?
Mm-hmm.
What do you think he's saying?
I don't know.
Yes, we've learned so much.
Yes, we have.
Ah, now I get to do
my favorite part.
Shall we, um, shall we go find out?
Okay.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I'm sorry if I step on your toes.
I'm a surgeon,
I'm really good with my hands,
terrible with my feet.
You can't be that bad.
Oh, you'll see.
Oh, look who's here.
Dad.
There's the second loveliest couple
in the room.
Yup. That's my toe.
I don't doubt they like each other,
but how can anyone be so sure of a connection
so fast?
Six days.
That's when my father said he knew.
Six days?
That's crazy.
How could someone be so sure,
so soon, right?
I predict we'll be interrupted.
You don't mind? It's all right?
And you must be?
Where did my aunt go?
Sean. Quick one of the two of you.
-There. -Great. Thank you.
Uh, I should... I should go look for her.
-I'll be right back. -Okay.
Hey, there you are.
I can't believe you got pushed aside
for corrine sellers.
I don't even think she's that great of an actress.
No, she's not,
but it comes with the territory, so...
Thank goodness, Sean's ready to get out of the business.
Are you sure about that?
Why are you looking for problems
where none exist?
I'm not looking for problems.
I just...
I feel like he... He wants a life with you,
but what happens if Hollywood comes calling again?
Don't you want me to be happy?
Of course I do.
How could you ask me that?
I just...
I just want to make sure
that you know what you're getting into.
What I'm getting into?
Is that why we're here tonight?
We thought
that something was potentially happening
with you and Clay.
But you came here
to pit Sean and me against each other?
To exaggerate our differences?
No... i--
is that it?
Well, it's not as sinister
as you're making it sound.
I'm not your client, Anna.
I don't need your counsel,
and I know what I'm doing.
It's just,
this is a bell that can't be unrung.
Your wedding becomes national news.
Then so be it.
If this is a mistake--
and I don't think it is--
then it's my mistake to make.
Not yours.
You need to stop hiding
in other people's lives, Anna.
Look in the mirror.
That's whose life you need to focus on.
Give it a try.
Aunt belle...
Sorry. I'm very sorry...
There you are.
Hey, have you seen my aunt?
My dad went looking for her
about 10 minutes ago.
I didn't see either of them inside.
Excuse me,
have you seen Sean castleberry,
by chance?
He and a lady just left in his limo.
They ditched us.
Could you call us a taxi, please?
They're angrier than I thought.
Aunt belle!
Aunt belle, are you here?
Are they here?
They're not at my dad's place.
Where could they have gone?
Oh, no.
I think I know.
"If you're not with us, you're against us,
"so we have no choice
but to get married without you."
They're eloping?
All right, Jake, keep looking,
and we'll come check out his computer
as soon as we can. Thanks.
I know, I know, aunt Suzie,
and we are trying to find them,
and bring them back here,
so they can get married with all of us together.
Yes, I know,
it is very important
that you meet George Clooney.
Okay, I'll keep you posted.
Do you, uh,
do you know her password?
I do.
What's this?
Feels just like prom night.
Jake, the lady says she has two left feet,
so make sure you catch both of them on video.
Well, we can't all be as suave
as Sean castleberry, can we?
No, well, that's a full-time job.
Shall we?
Oh, yes.
And...
Forward, forward, forward,
forward, forward, forward.
Forward, forward, forward... Forward, forward, forward...
That's so cute.
She could have had this years ago,
and she didn't,
because she made a choice to raise me.
And here's her chance,
and I'm trying to take this away from her.
No.
No, your intentions were good.
I was trying to control the situation,
which is what I do.
And now she's getting married,
and I'm not going to be there.
This is not the way it's supposed to be.
We'll find them, okay?
And we'll make it right.
Come on, let's go see
see if we can find any clues at my dad's house.
Just give me a minute.
Sure.
I'm so lucky.
Hmm.
Maybe he did a search for chapels
or a justice of the peace?
We should check his Internet.
Allow me.
I am very well acquainted
with how to do a detailed review
of a browser history.
Divorce lawyer.
These things come in very handy when things get contentious.
Clay, this is a mess.
Although my aunt should understand
where I was coming from in trying to stop her.
She did the exact same thing to me.
What?
You were married?
I was 19.
I was young and thought it was true love,
and then, when he left after six weeks,
well, you can't just pretend like that never happened.
Everyone tried to talk me out of it,
but I was so sure of him.
Hmm.
Then you look back on it,
and you can't help but wonder,
what red flags did I miss?
They're always so visible in hindsight.
Your ex-fiancee?
You feel so stupid
for not seeing what everyone else did.
Yeah.
Clay, I get that.
But for Sean and belle, maybe this is the real thing.
Who are we to say?
I went over your father's accounts,
his credit card was just used
at the millennia hotel...
Viva Las Vegas.
My work here is done.
I'm just going to go back to bed.
Vegas?
Sorry to wake you.
You have the flights pulled up yet?
No, it's fine.
I was wide awake.
Are you sure you want to chase your father
all the way to Nevada?
You know he does what he wants.
I know, but we need to make sure they do this right.
If they're going there to get married,
then we need to be by their sides.
Call Dr. Morgan,
and let him know I won't make the conference at all.
Okay...
Sorry to call so early, em,
and I know I said I'd be home by now,
but I need you to handle it
if she calls.
Patch her through to my cell,
no matter what time of day.
Okay, the next flight leaves in three hours,
but it's only business class and it's not cheap.
Fine, book us two seats.
Do you want me to charge her ticket to her credit card?
No, just put them both on mine.
I will book it, and then I will get back to you
with all the details.
Okay, I will call you as soon as I land.
You too.
Who needs sleep?
We're going to Vegas.
All right.
Put it all on black!
I'm sorry, but we don't have two rooms.
I do, however, have two suites
on the same floor
for a substantially higher nightly rate.
Of course you do.
Yeah, we'll take the suites.
How much substantially higher?
I'm building a new business now.
It's okay, Anna.
I've got you.
You can pay me back later.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Can you tell me
if Sean castleberry has checked in yet?
I'm really not at Liberty to say.
I'm his son.
Look, check my I.D., we have the same last name.
I'm still really not at Liberty to say.
I need to find my father.
It's very important,
and his phone isn't working.
I need to get him...
His, uh, medication.
Medication.
And yet our rules remain unchanged.
Can you please help us out here?
We've been up all night.
We're exhausted.
I can tell you
that the bridge over the lobby
is the best place for people watching.
Thank you.
Can you have someone take our bags to the rooms, please?
Um, thank you so much.
Thank you.
And you're talking this bridge right up here?
Yeah, that bridge right there.
Okay, thank you.
Hey!
I tried to call his room from the house phone,
but he didn't use any of his usual aliases.
Yeah, I just did a search on my phone.
There's over a hundred wedding chapels
in this town.
How are we supposed to find them?
I just wish we had, like, a GPS tracking device.
Not GPS, but the next best thing.
What?
I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner.
Twitter.
People love to post celebrity sightings there.
No, not this one, not this one...
No...
Here. "Going in to pick up my watch
"and see Sean castleberry and his fiancee
buying wedding rings at galleria jewelers."
"#wifenumberfour."
11 minutes ago.
Let's go.
Excuse us.
Excuse me. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Sorry. Excuse me.
Sorry, comin' through.
So sorry.
No lookie-loos.
Very high-profile client inside.
Oh, we don't care about that.
We're actually just here to pick up our wedding rings.
That's right.
I'm the luckiest man in the world,
this beautiful woman said yes to me.
You're picking up?
Can I see your receipt?
Oh, shoot!
I, uh, we... We forgot our receipts,
but, um, I hope that's not a problem,
because we're getting married...
Tonight.
And you're waiting until now to get your wedding rings?
Oh, no, no, of course not.
No, we came by yesterday to pick them up,
but the sizes, they were all wrong.
The sizes were wrong,
and so they told us to come back today,
by noon,
and they promised us they would be ready.
Sorry, I can't let you in
without a receipt.
How long is this going to take?
I can't say for sure.
Oh, no!
Oh, we just, we don't have a lot of time.
I've got to go to the hair salon
and get my hair done, and my makeup...
And you've got to get your tux.
And this is all your fault.
I mean, not you, personally,
you actually seem like a very nice man,
but your employer could be responsible
for ruining the happiest day of my life!
Sweetheart, sweetheart, hey, look at me.
We will make something happen,
even if it's a twisty-tie, okay?
I will put something on that finger tonight,
I promise you.
All right, listen...
You're picking up, okay?
When you get inside,
you talk to Alexis,
you tell her I sent you.
Thank you.
Thank you! Oh, thank you so much!
Thank you. You saved me there.
You're good.
Hey, I grew up in Hollywood.
Hi!
Sorry about the commotion.
We don't get celebrities in here too often.
Sean castleberry and his latest fiancee
were just in here.
Sean castleberry?
Can I see your receipt?
The movie star!
Oh, my god!
I am the biggest fan.
Yeah, she is. See?
They just went out that back door there.
Too many photographers.
They wanted a little privacy.
-Can we see this necklace here? -Yeah.
Go, go, go!
Okay, faster.
Which way?
You paparazzis should be ashamed of yourselves!
Great, another dead end.
Not necessarily.
They had this on the counter.
It's a list of the preferred wedding chapels.
Well that narrows it down, at least.
This one's a block off main street.
Okay, that's this way.
I really hope this is the one.
Yeah, me too.
Hi.
Hi!
Uh, how much is it for the gold package?
Oh, that one is top of the line.
People love it.
My dad doesn't marry you, Elvis does.
That sounds so romantic.
Tell me, has anyone famous ever been married here?
Because I really want to get married
in the same place as, like, Britney Spears.
Actually, my dad is marrying some famous dude in there
right now.
He's super old, so I don't know him,
but my mom recognized him right away.
Stop the wedding!
-Wow. Wrong wedding. -So sorry.
-Carry on. -Really. Congratulations!
You look so beautiful.
I'm pretty sure
that was the host from "guess which war."
That was not your father.
Hey, did you tie the knot?
Did you do it?
Oh, no, we're not...
No, we were just, um...
Checking the place out.
Oh, well, it's a good place.
Did right by me 60 years ago.
Today as a matter of fact.
Wow!
Well, happy anniversary.
We're redoing our vows in a few minutes,
and, uh, it's the same place, same time.
She's even wearing the same dress.
How did you do it?
I mean, how did you make it 60 years?
Love.
Uh...
Respect.
And a whole lot of luck.
See, I was in the military,
and I was about to go ship overseas,
and, uh, I saw this girl across this room,
and it was like she was...
Well, she took my breath away.
It was my Lydia.
So I knew right there and then
I was going to marry her.
So, took a few days, locked it on down,
and brought her here,
and we did it before I went away.
After a few days?
My dear, when it's right,
a few days is all it takes.
She's ready for you.
Ah...
Not allowed to see the bride before you get married.
Of course not.
Congratulations again.
Thank you.
Come on in.
Come on,
it's getting late,
and there's a lot of chapels left on this list.
Well, we checked every chapel on the list,
and no sign of them.
I guess they must be married by now.
So, that's that.
Yeah, that's that.
And this was probably
the happiest day of her life,
and I should've been by her side,
and I wasn't
because I couldn't put my own stuff aside.
Yeah, I hear you there.
I guess we should get the next flight out, huh?
Maybe they know something we don't.
I mean, maybe that man at the chapel is right.
A few days is all it takes?
He could've just gone on his deployment,
but he dove in, and look at them.
60 years.
He also said
there's a certain amount of luck involved.
Maybe we just haven't been that lucky yet.
Did you just say "luck"?
Yeah, I said "luck."
Maybe ours is changing.
Eight! Eight! Eight! Eight!
Ah, somebody's on a hot streak up there.
Yeah, no kidding.
Go! Go! Go!
Yes!
All right, guys, give me another eight.
Mama needs a new pair of glasses.
Glasses?
I have plenty of shoes. I need sunglasses.
Mwah!
Whoo!
Yeah!
You're my lucky charm!
Maybe you're mine.
It was a good night.
Despite not finding them,
it was nice to just roll the dice
and take our chances.
Pun intended.
I like the Anna who throws caution to the wind.
And dives in.
She's a blast.
I like lucky Clay.
He's fun, and free,
and never rolls a seven, not once.
That was a fluke, had to be.
Letting go is good, Anna.
Letting go is good.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Goodnight, Anna.
Goodnight, Clay.
Look, Gloria, I know, but we have to play hardball.
No, we're not trying to take him for all he's got.
We're trying get you what you deserve.
Okay, I'll send this email right away,
and I'll talk to you soon.
Okay, Renee,
we'll print our boarding passes at the airport.
You want me to put it on your card again?
Don't worry, Renee, she'll pay me back.
Clay, I didn't say anything.
You did.
I just need you to tell me what you want me to do.
Just use my card for both, okay?
She doesn't have her checkbook with her.
Okay, why are you being so defensive?
I wasn't implying anything.
I'm not, I'm just...
E-mail me the itinerary, okay?
Great.
Hi.
I ordered pancakes and eggs
since we need to leave for the airport in 20 minutes.
That sounds great.
Thanks.
So...
Oh, opposing counsel.
I need to take this.
But I will meet you at check out?
Yeah, sure.
Desmond, hey, tell me
you've talked some sense into your client.
No, he needs to man up and support her financially.
It's his responsibility.
Are you serious?
So what if she chose not to work when his practice took off?
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'll just call it up here and get you checked out--
oh, here you are, Mr. Castleberry.
Hey.
And I do hope the suites were to your satisfaction.
Doesn't look like there's any incidentals,
-nothing from the spa. -No.
I hope you enjoyed your stay.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
I see you found your father.
Glad you were able to get him his medication.
Excuse me?
Aunt belle!
Anna?
Oh, my goodness!
We have been calling
and looking for you everywhere!
Look who's here.
Dad.
Where's your wedding ring?
I believe it's in a box in Sean's suitcase.
Belle didn't want to go through with it.
She wanted you, and Suzie,
and her family to be at her side.
I wanted my son with me.
Oh, my goodness.
That's why we're here.
Really?
'Cause I haven't listened to any of your messages.
I didn't need any more bad news
from Dougie downer again.
Okay, that's fair.
Look, if you guys are 100% certain about this marriage,
then I'm behind it.
I feel the same way.
I could not live with myself
if I missed the happiest day of your life.
Aw...
Well, that's what we've been waiting to hear
all along.
Then let's go home and do this right.
All right.
Okay!
We have a wedding to plan.
Come on.
We need to be quick,
we have the food tasting in an hour.
Do you want me and Suzie in the same dress,
since we're both your bridesmaids?
Oh, please,
I would never put you in any matchy-matchy
pouf taffeta dress.
Ooh, what about this?
Why do you even have that?
It was a special request for a regular client.
She wanted a mini.
And don't judge.
Her wedding was canceled.
Somebody will buy it.
It's just not going to be us, right?
No.
You seem different.
More fun, Anna.
What? No.
I-I just, you know, maybe I'm happy
because aunt belle is happy.
Oh, please, no one's buying that.
What is going on with you and Dr. Clay?
Well, let's see,
for starters, he lives in Boston,
and I live in San Francisco.
Logistics can always be worked out.
You like him.
He did show me a different side
once he opened up.
Hmm.
I seem to recall
saying the exact same thing about Sean.
And what did you say?
Something about taking things slow?
And now?
I stand a little bit corrected?
Look at that.
You've only known Clay a few days, and...
Maybe that's all it takes.
Yeah...
She likes him.
Uh-huh. She likes him.
Yeah, she does.
You ready for tomorrow?
Mentally, yes.
As for what I'm wearing,
that's still up in the air.
Not anymore.
I have your shirt.
Also some food for you to grill tonight.
You're a lifesaver, Jake.
He'd die without you. You know that, right?
I know that.
I am happy for you, you know.
Despite evidence to the contrary.
Yeah, I believe you.
I know that.
Clay, I know
I've made some mistakes.
I wasn't always the most attentive father, was I?
You did the best you could, dad.
I know it was hard for you after mom died.
I mean, let's face it,
she took care of both of us, didn't she?
Yeah.
She used to say she had two children,
you and me.
We all have to grow up sooner or later.
Right.
Some of us just a little later than others.
That would be me.
I'm putting Mr. Lewis at the kids' table.
I think it's happening. That's what I'm doing.
Like that...
What do we do...
Does that work?
Who replies the day before a wedding?
I have no idea
where I'm going to put all these people,
because the chart is done.
Yeah, but we still have to find room
for Sean's cousins.
Separate them. You'll thank me later.
Yeah, Sean told me about them.
Are you doing okay?
I know you had to cancel your conference.
Well, my talk has come and gone,
but I'm still going to Miami for four days.
Alone, or...
With a friend?
Alone.
Well, that doesn't seem like very much fun.
Look, I just don't want to get blindsided again.
You know, like with Vivian?
I never saw that coming.
I know that was hard on you, Clay,
but it's important that you try not to look for a Vivian
in someone named Anna.
I think they're two very different people.
Oh, no!
No, no, no!
I don't need an assistant,
I need a fireman.
But I'm blaming the grill.
It was way too hot.
You've got to fix that.
Vesuvius wasn't that hot.
It was the grill's fault.
How about I run out
and get us some food
so we have something to eat tonight.
I'll come with you.
- Okay. - Make mine rare.
Hey, do you want me to drive?
No, that's okay. I got it.
Oh, it's a beautiful night.
Yeah...
Yeah, I wanted to come
because we haven't really had the chance to talk about--
the elevator.
Mm-hmm.
I was going to bring that up
at the airport,
but your dad was there,
and my aunt, so...
That wasn't me...
Usually.
Me either,
but it was good for me.
I decided,
even though I missed the conference,
I'm still going to go to Miami after the wedding.
I had Renee clear my schedule for a few days.
I had fun in Vegas.
I realized there's a whole big world
outside the O.R.
Yeah, there's a big world outside the courtroom, too.
Well...
Maybe you should come with me.
Just think about it, okay?
I know that you have a big client right now,
but they have WiFi there.
And it's only for a few days.
Plus, I kinda sorta maybe really like
"fun and free" Clay and Anna.
I'd like to see them in the real world.
See how they'd do under less heightened circumstances.
You know, no pressure.
Just think about it.
Okay.
So, what do you want to eat?
Ooh, I don't know, um, pasta, chicken, cupcakes?
Cupcakes for dinner?
Wouldn't be the first time.
Well, I don't have much of a sweet tooth.
Looks like we're not starting out so well
in the real world, are we?
He's standing firm?
She supported him
when he didn't have two nickels to rub together.
I'm so sorry!
Our niece is a very high-powered attorney.
That's not an offer, Desmond, that's an insult.
Of course.
He's handsome, charming, a doctor.
Did I mention rich?
Because he is.
He's wealthy.
Very wealthy.
The whole package.
Any smart woman
would grab on to a guy like that
and hold on for dear life, right?
He should have no problem
paying for everything.
Okay, garter, veil,
extra Bobby pins.
Wedding shoes, that's what we're forgetting.
On the couch.
Anna, why don't you take a load off
and have some champagne?
We don't have to leave
for at least another 90 minutes.
And you still need to get your hair done.
That's true,
but you can't wear slippers to your wedding.
She could get married in anything
and still be a vision.
True.
You are the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.
All right, I need in on this.
Sorry.
I just wish dad were here to see this.
Yeah, we all do.
But you're getting to live your dream.
And it's about time.
You can, too, you know.
All you have to do is let go
and give yourself permission.
True.
Okay, let's finish.
Clay, wait till you hear this!
What's with the suitcase?
Oh, I'm leaving right after the wedding.
It was the only flight I could get for my trip.
Ah-hah.
Well, I just got off the phone with my agent.
I've been offered the role of fearless leader
in "land of the robonauts."
Wait, fearless leader, Finley Charles?
Yeah, it's going to be the biggest superhero movie
of the decade.
A whole franchise.
I used to read you those comics?
Actually, you bought them for me.
I used to read them to myself,
but yeah, I remember.
Well, whatever.
Your dad's gonna have a hot year.
What about belle?
And the ranch and retiring?
Yes, well, there's a lot to work out,
things to talk about.
This is what you do.
Why can't people just tell the truth?
Huh? Cards on the table.
What you see is what you get.
Why can't people just be who they say they are?
What's the matter with you?
Dad, I'm not going to sit here
and watch you do that to belle.
Do what?
You haven't let me finish.
Hey, I can tell you the whole--
I have experience at this.
I can make it work.
Oh, you have plenty of experience
at this, dad.
What's wrong, honey?
I don't know.
Everything was fine with Clay last night,
and then today, it's just been complete radio silence.
Anna?
I was just getting my camera from the car
and I bumped into Jake.
Clay's not coming to the wedding.
Wait, what?
He's gone to the airport.
The airport?
Do you have any idea why?
I think I might.
He and I were going to go to Miami
and he must have just gotten spooked.
Everything was just moving so fast.
You don't know that.
Maybe he had an emergency.
He would call or text.
There's no other explanation.
I don't think that's it.
We've all seen the way he looks at you.
I'm going to go talk to Sean.
Maybe he knows something about Clay.
I didn't expect to get this part.
It was a silly fantasy.
A lot of big actors wanted it, too.
I know.
I just wish I had belle's blessing.
You need to talk to her, Sean.
You need to find out what she wants.
I'll tell you what she wants,
she wants for us to be living on a ranch,
and the minute she finds out that I'm taking this movie--
you and your son
are never going to be satisfied, are you?
Either of you?
Hold on, wait a second. You don't understand--
no, I don't understand.
Why does nobody let me finish?
Clay is mad at me.
He thinks I'm going to hurt belle.
Wait, Clay is mad at you?
I thought he was upset with me.
I'm telling you,
if she doesn't want me to do this film,
I'm out, I'll drop it.
She is much more important to me.
Sean, that's beautiful, but it's your wedding day.
I think you should go talk to her.
She's an incredible woman. She might surprise you.
I'll give it a try.
Okay.
He's a good guy, right?
Complicated...
But very good.
Exceptional, even.
Anna...
Please tell me
why Sean is seeing the bride
before the wedding?
Thank goodness she's not even in her wedding gown yet.
Everything is fine, aunt Suzie--
I'm marrying Finley Charles!
My favorite fearless leader
in the entire comic book universe!
What?
Sean got the part.
When we're shooting,
we're staying in hotels
with round-the-clock room service,
and I don't have to cook.
And when we're not,
we're in Malibu at our ranch..
Fine compromise.
Oh, it's the perfect one.
And it's a great occasion, isn't it?
The only thing missing is my son.
He's not answering his phone.
I really need him here.
I should get to the airport--
no!
Sean, you need to get to the ceremony.
You have guests to greet.
I'll go get him.
-You sure? -I'm sure.
Take my car. The keys are in it.
-Perfect. -Go, go, go.
And hurry!
You'd better not miss my wedding!
I will be there with time to spare!
All right, you, let's get you ready, please.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
for flight 412 to Miami,
we are still waiting for our aircraft to arrive,
and it's looking like we'll have a slight delay.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Clay?
Clay!
Hey!
I've been looking for you everywhere.
What are you doing here?
I had to buy a ticket to get past the security gate,
but I don't know why you're not taking my calls
or answering any of my texts,
but I'm here for your dad.
He really wants you there.
Wait a second, they're going through with the wedding?
They are.
They worked it out,
and you would know that if you hadn't run away.
Yeah, well, maybe someone pushed me.
What are you talking about?
I heard you talking on the phone this morning,
about marrying a rich doctor.
Every woman's dream?
Just grabbing on and never letting go?
You're just like the rest of them.
Wow.
That's how little you think of me?
I was talking about my client's ex.
But I won't even bother explaining that to you
because you see the world through damaged eyes,
and the truth isn't going to make a difference.
Come to your father's wedding, Clay,
or don't.
I don't really care what you do.
She bought a ticket
to come in here and find you?
Day of flight...
That couldn't have been cheap.
Go get her!
You're right.
Anna, wait up! Anna!
Just talk to me!
Anna!
What is the matter with you?
Six days.
What?
That's when I knew, too.
On the dance floor, after six days,
just like my dad with belle.
I tried to ignore it,
but nothing has ever felt more right to me than you.
Which is terrifying for me.
Trust is not my strong suit.
I'm a work in progress, what can I say?
Why didn't you just ask me
if you thought you overheard something questionable?
Well, you know what they say about people who assume?
They're idiots?
Yeah, they're complete and total idiots.
I'm so sorry that I ever doubted you.
You should be.
So, what do you say?
You still wanna go to Miami with me?
Well, I still have a ticket.
But if you bail on me again--
Anna, just...
Stop talking.
Hey, this is the exact spot
where you spilled your coffee on me.
You spilled my coffee on you.
I don't think so.
It never did come out of that shirt.
Yeah, I gotta tell ya,
it's not that big of a loss.
Okay, no more kissing,
we have to go.
After all of this,
we are not missing that wedding.
Right.
Let's go.
All right.
I parked over here.
Okay.
Yes, okay. I'll do it, thanks.
Where are they?
Any sign of them?
No,
and no one is answering their cell phones.
Belle, I'm sorry,
but the minister says we have to start now.
He has another wedding to do after this.
Five more minutes?
I don't think we can wait.
Ask him.
I will. Okay.
Excuse me, could we just have five--
no, I'm sorry.
We can't wait.
So we do this now,
or you lose your minister.
Now it is.
Good answer.
It's a beautiful day.
I've got you.
And you look beautiful.
And you're getting married!
To the man I love.
You think we can make it?
I certainly hope so. You drove like a crazy woman.
Let's do this.
All right.
The wedding was supposed to start 20 minutes ago.
I know, I know. We got this.
All rise.
Oh, they wouldn't start without us.
You were saying?
Oh, my goodness.
We're here!
Wait!
We're here!
Stop the wedding!
You made it!
You're here!
Oh, I would not miss it for the world.
Good to see you, George.
Sorry we're late.
Hey.
Hey, dad.
Hey, better late than never, right?
Yeah.
Sorry about the outfit.
That's all right. You made it.
Are you ready?
-Ready? -I'm ready.
Oh, yes.
Please be seated.
We are gathered here
to celebrate the blessed union
of Clay castleberry and Annabelle Colton.
Do you, Anna, take Clay
to be your lawfully wedded husband?
I do.
And do you, Clay, take Anna
to be your lawfully wedded wife?
I do.
If anyone can show just cause
why these two may not be lawfully joined together,
let them speak now
or forever hold their peace.
Are you sure nobody wants to stop the wedding?
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
