Hey.
exam tomorrow?
yup. 9 A.M.
I'll get out of
your way, then.
Claudia, is that you?
it's 11:00, Bailey.
I'm right on time.
you know what?
I think I'll just--
no. Sarah, you can stay.
this'll just take a second.
that's ok. I'd rather.
look, claud,
you've been home
right at
the stroke of 11:00
all week, like we said.
so why are you
waiting for me?
because you're gone
every morning at 8:00.
I feel like if
I want to see you,
I need to make
an appointment
or something.
maybe I don't wanna have
to see your face, you know,
when you look at
my clothes and my hair.
is that what
this is about?
I said one or 2 things
about the way you look--
it's not what you say,
Bailey.
it's what you think.
it's what I know
goes through your head,
and you see where I'm going
and who I'm hanging out with.
I'm worried, Claudia.
it's like you were
never a kid
'cause if you were,
you'd remember
that when someone said
they're worried,
it doesn't sound like
"I love you."
it sounds like
"I don't trust you,"
which frankly, I just
don't wanna hear it.
(Sighs)
I don't know what
to say to her anymore.
I feel like
nothing works.
Bailey...
I've tried being tough,
I've tried being easy...
and what do you think,
that I've got
all the answers?
no, but...We usually
talk this stuff through.
you have
really good ideas.
look, I would really
love to help,
but I've got a final
tomorrow,
and grades are key
to my scholarship
application,
so you know what?
why don't you sleep on it,
you know, and see if you
can come up with anything.
that's what
I'm saying, Sarah.
I've tried everything.
Bailey, please.
I'm asking you nicely.
just...one night,
let this be your problem
and not mine.

Hey.
hey.
what time is it?
um, it's a little
after 1:00.
1:00.
you're not even
in your pajamas yet.
yeah. I'm just...
I'm filling out
this job application
for that
research assistant
thing at state.
I thought you didn't
want that job.
well, I don't know.
maybe I'm being
too picky.
maybe I could stand
to have a fallback
position.
a fallback? From what?
from...whatever.
whatever happens.
what do you think
is gonna happen?
look...
I mean, I know
this makes no sense,
but I see you
and Daphne together,
I can't help thinking
that...
what claim do I have
on any of this,
on Diana or you,
even?
ok, wait a minute.
no. I was there,
Charlie,
when you went to L.A. to
try to bring her back.
Kirsten, that is
ancient history.
and I wouldn't blame you
for feeling...
whatever it is
you feel for her.
do you think I would
give you up for anything?
you know what?
don't make promises
that you can't keep.
time can
change anything,
Charlie, right?
I mean,
who knows that
better than us?
Julia.
I thought you were
at school.
the geeks in my dorm,
the ones who took
their finals early,
they're mud-sliding
outside of my window.
the library's packed,
the dining hall's
too loud,
and I've got to learn
all of biochemistry
in 2 days.
man...
the library...
in my dreams.
Bailey's
last 2 managers quit,
so lately it's like,
hey, let's see how much
you can read,
while Owen lands f-16s
on the coffee table.
you know, I have blown
this entire year, Sarah.
day one,
I took a solemn vow
that I was here
to be a student.
do you know that
with the millennium
scholarship money,
you can use that
to study abroad?
and 9 months later,
what?
I spent so much time
trying to sort out
relationships,
I'm praying
for earthquakes
so I don't have
to take my finals.
you know,
if I get good grades
and win this thing,
I'm telling you,
I'd take a summer at
a turkish traffic school.
that's why
this scholarship--man!
it feels like
my last chance, you know.
I'm not for the money.
just that I can feel
like I made something
out of my year.
you and me both, huh?
yeah.
but, um, hey,
5 people can win,
so maybe we can
both get one.
uh-huh.
(guys yelling)
ok, that sounds
like a party.
I thought you said
it was just a couple
of friends.
that's tomorrow night.
they're just watching
stu's new skate video.
ok. If you don't
feel like it...
no. I want to.
I want to meet
your friends.
I barely know them.
and the ones I do,
they have this thing.
when I talk,
they start to yawn.
they do not, claud.
dude, watch me 5-oh grind
this 15-stair handrail.
hey, bro.
what's everybody
watching?
check it out. Watch stu
grind this mall ledge.
ooh, man,
he's got it dialed.
oh, yeah, yeah, wow.
he is...
man, is he dialing.
that's...grinding.
yeah.
Justin!
damn, it's you.
did you just say,
damn, it's me?
yes 'cause I have
absolutely no time
to see you right now.
oh, ok. I guess
this blatant
disregard for me
is some form
of affection,
like the way
you treat a sibling
or a dog?
Justin...
no, no, that's fine.
no need for, uh,
"let's partake
in a beverage
and find out
how your year went."
you don't understand.
I am in, like,
the deepest excrement
right now.
actually,
I do understand.
Maggie has
explained it to me,
and I'm here to tell you
that you can relax now.
relax. Are you kidding?
Julia, help is here.
please tell her.
ok, ok.
how do you like your
amino protein transfer,
in oxidants or plasma?
oh, my god.
you took
biochemistry.
that's right. I just
finished my final.
you can save my gpa.
I could have a shot
at that scholarship.
there. You see?
everything is
gonna be ok.
I can't.
what do you mean?
look, it's not like
I'm writing a term paper
for you.
I mean, you have to
go in there knowing
this stuff,
so who cares
how you learn it?
well, it's against
the honor code, for one.
the honor code.
yeah.
that...
that and also...
I can't explain it.
it's important to me.
I have to do it
on my own.
(door closes)
hey.
sorry I'm late.
I had this errand to run.
you're late? I totally
lost track of time.
come sit down.
so, uh, what's up?
um...
ok. You know how Sarah's
been a little wiggy
lately?
have you noticed?
I guess.
well, there's a lot
of reasons for it.
but the main reason
is...
it's her life.
she's not exactly sure
what it's
supposed to be.
yeah?
and the funny thing is,
see, I've been feeling
the same thing.
it's like I
run around all day,
putting out fires.
Owen's got pinkeye,
the furnace exploded,
my 19th new manager
quit.
so I run around all day,
and I put out
all these fires,
and I go to bed,
and I get up the next day,
and I do the same thing.
but what am I really
getting out of all that?
am I getting ahead?
I don't think so.
not really.
you've lost me, man.
that's what I'm missing,
Charlie.
the why of it all.
see, Sarah and I,
we're just getting
through stuff.
but we could be making
something together.
you know, like a life
or whatever. And...
ah, screw it. Here.
just...
look at this.
oh...
what are you
laughing at?
this isn't funny,
Charlie.
I need somebody
to talk me out
of this here.
you probably do,
but, uh...
it's not gonna be me.
No, thanks. I'm fine.
Oh, it's you.
mm-hmm.
can we get together
in 24 hours
after I fail this exam?
no. Make that after
you have aced it.
it's all
the biochemistry
you need to know,
minus the pointless
fillers that you're
getting hopped up
trying to learn.
didn't you hear what
I said to you before?
Julia, Maggie told me
about this whole, uh...
vow of solitude thing,
and I think
it's fantastic. I do.
but why don't you stop
before you become a nun?
that is not the point.
that's not why I said no
to your help.
I have zero fear of us
getting back together.
Julia, I was just
offering you my notes.
I didn't say
anything about us
getting back together,
but, uh, zero?
Justin, I'm sorry,
but you're still
not listening.
being on my own,
that's not just
a relationship thing.
I have to learn
to depend on myself
for lots of things.
because otherwise,
what am I gaining?
if I don't believe
that I can do it myself,
if I have to run for help
to some Yale university
book stud...
ok. Have fun
torturing yourself.
good luck.
follow the menu
for exam results.
Sarah, can't you do this?
I gotta do homework with Owen.
no, I am too nervous.
Bailey,
this is my last exam.
my scholarship rides
on this one grade,
so if you could just
check my score for me,
then I'll do
Owen's homework.
why don't you go get started?
we'll be there in a minute.
thanks.
so, uh, you definitely
don't have any plans
tonight, right?
you're free?
there's not gonna be any kind
of last-minute study group?
no. I told you
it was the last exam.
now, what are they
saying?
uh, nothing. They're
searching their records.
why am I even putting
myself through this?
I mean, I'll never win.
my essay is so...
what would they want
with some kid
who doesn't even
know what she wants
from her life?
what? How did I do,
Bailey?
for your gpa, you said
you needed at least a 93?
I'm sorry.
wow.
that is really...Man!
you know what?
Sarah, hey.
forget it.
just put it
out of your head.
forget it?
yes.
I really wanted this.
I know, but...
tonight...
tonight
we're gonna go out.
we're gonna have
this amazing romantic
night together,
and you're gonna
put all of this
behind you.
Bailey,
you're not listening.
no, I am.
I know this hurts.
I know, and I'm sorry,
but the way I see it,
it means nothing.
these scholarship guys,
if they say no,
they know nothing.
I would pick you
over anyone
in that competition.
I would pick you over
anyone in the world.
Sarah,
I would pick you...
Bailey...
stop.
what am I doing?
I'm sorry.
no. It's ok.
how did I get so lucky
to find you?
what did I do
to deserve you?
Who put water in here?
I did. It cools
the bottles quicker.
smart. All the labels
came off.
now we don't know
what's what.
raff brought the stout,
and he's all like,
"where's my stout?
I want my stout."
you know what?
I can, uh...
maybe I can find it.
yeah.
here. Stout.
it's darker
'cause they make it
from roasted malt.
how do you know that?
my family owns a bar.
really? Cool.
so what's the best beer
if I need to carb load?
I would recommend
a pale ale.
more sugar.
yeah. Here.
like this one,
I think.
thanks.
you want one?
um, no, thanks.
I don't drink.
whatever. See ya.
hey, ricki.
uh...
might as well
load some carbs myself.
(coughs)
a little bitter.
but it gets
the job done.
(door closes)
hey. You're back.
yeah.
what's this?
uh...
Daphne brought that by
today.
I told her that the kid
wouldn't be able to use it
for about a year.
so, uh...
how did it go?
I don't know.
candles and a Rose?
what's going on?
is that in case I
didn't get the job,
to cheer me up?
or...whatever.
well...i got it.
you got it?
that's great.
congratulations.
what? You don't seem like
you're that happy about it.
well...it's better
than being rejected,
I guess.
well, uh...
if you're still
on the fence
about it, I...
I think I might
have something that'll
help you decide it.
no. You know what?
you were right before.
I should just call him
and say no.
if I didn't want
the job then,
I don't want it now.
ok, well...
why would I say yes
to something
that's not
really right?
I don't want some
consolation prize.
consolation?
meaning...
meaning what?
if it's only
to make me feel better.
I'm too old
to fix my life with
band-aids, Charlie.
I just wanna do
what makes sense.
just see what happens,
you know?
what, you were
saying something.
you want to tell me
something?
no. No. Just, uh...
we should sit down
before the soup gets cold.
ok.
ha ha ha!
pilsner you said, right?
I'm gonna snag another.
you need?
like a hole in the head.
sure. Sure.
ohh! Hi!
hi, Cody! Hi! Whoa!
yeah. Ha ha ha!
ok.
I just,
I have to say that,
at first, I thought
your friends and I
had, like,
nothing in common,
but, you know, I thought
all they were into was,
like, skateboarding
and partying, but it...
it turns out
that there's...
there's so much
we share.
you're starting to spit
when you talk.
how many beers
have you had?
hey, I really haven't
gotten to see you
in forever.
can I...Can I
have a kiss?
I want a kiss.
Claudia, please.
mmm!
look, you're
grossing me out here, ok?
i-I'm...
I'm grossing you out?
I'm your girlfriend
here, Cody.
yeah.
I guess.
(Chuckling)
Kirsten, come here
and check this out.
homer is attacking
his boot on his car.
look, I don't want to be
a neat freak.
could you hang your coat
up in the closet?
I'll do that later.
come sit with me
and relax a little bit.
what's this?
Kirsten, wait.
it's nothing,
it's nothing. Don't--
is this for me?
oh, my god.
Charlie...
let me have that.
is this...
are you proposing to me?
I was.
I mean, I was going to,
and then you...
you said all that stuff.
so, what,
you changed your mind?
no. I...
I don't know. I just...
Kirsten, please,
just come sit down with me
and let me say this, ok?
(turns TV off)
ok.
you know how I feel.
you know how I felt
for...
oh, god. For...
for how many years now?
and we just finished saying
that we weren't gonna
take this slow.
why, Charlie?
why are you asking?
because I love you.
I mean why now?
we both know what's
going on here, ok?
I mean, I say that
I'm feeling insecure
because Daphne's around.
that has nothing to do
with the reason.
really?
no.
then if she
weren't here,
you'd still be
asking me now?
no. Of course not.
this is because
you want me
to feel better.
this is because
you feel sorry
for me.
Kirsten,
wait a minute.
do you know
what that feels like?
god!
it...
that makes me feel...
well, it sure doesn't
make me feel any better.
Ok, Bailey,
it's really windy,
and I'm freezing.
I know.
we're almost there.
what's going on? You're
making googly eyes at me
all through this
really expensive dinner,
and now we're
at the fishing docks?
right here.
this is the spot.
right next
to the bait shop.
the bait shop?
is that why it smells?
you know
what happened here
32 years ago right here
on this very spot?
mom and dad had this
huge, enormous fight.
they'd been dating
since their freshman
year in high school,
and my dad started
dating this other girl,
and my mom
found out about it.
she went nuts.
and she tracked him
down right here.
they were standing here
yelling and screaming
at each other.
and that's when he
asked her to marry him.
yes.
anyway...
they used to tell us
that story,
and my dad used to say
that sometimes you need
a crisis
or a fight or whatever
to show you
what you have.
a crisis?
Bailey, are we
having a crisis?
no, we're not,
but lately,
you gotta admit,
our lives have been
really, really hectic.
and I realize that
sometimes you feel
like it's my stuff
versus your stuff.
so I thought why not
just make it all
our stuff?
Bailey...
what are you...
They were younger
than we are, Sarah.
they were barely even
20 years old,
and my dad said that
the smartest thing
he ever did
was to ask my mom,
so I'm asking you.
let's make a life as
amazing as theirs was.
Sarah, let me make you
as happy as he made her.
I can't believe this.
(Case cracks open)
I'm asking you, Sarah.
will you?
will you marry me?
now?
you want me
to answer this now?
god, Bailey,
I don't know
what to say.
say yes.
I don't think I could...
how could I not?
so...yes.
I'm saying yes.
Careful. No, no.
always
keep your hands
on the near side
of the piece, ok?
like this.
Charlie, hey.
you got a minute.
Bailey,
I'm in the middle
of a class here.
and you should
be wearing goggles.
I know. Gimme one second.
come here.
so?
talk to me.
about what?
it was last night,
wasn't it?
yeah, it was last night.
so? You wanna kill me
with the suspense here?
what did she say?
was she totally
blown away?
did you guys
pick a date yet?
well...
well, it better not be
September 11th.
that's all I'm sayin'.
hey, she said yes?
she said yes.
congratulations.
thanks.
it's fantastic.
so, joint
engagement party?
this weekend.
we'll just
throw something together,
close friends and family.
yeah, yeah, yeah.
we'll have a party.
but, um, listen.
it won't be for me, ok?
not for me.
why?
what happened?
Hey.
look, I just came by
to apologize.
you--
you didn't
force that beer
down my throat.
you didn't make me
sing act 2 of Evita.
I should have known
not to put you together.
I mean, those guys--
they're cool,
they're my friends,
but they're not you.
what do you mean?
they're wild, you know?
they're into
being different,
being freaks.
and I'm none of that--
none of that, right?
look, I'm not
telling you who to be.
well, it sure sounds
that way, Cody.
I'm telling you who I want.
look, I liked that you were
a little bit straight.
that you didn't have
to mess with your looks
or get all wasted.
you were just cool
being you.
you know, I just miss
that person, claud.
I liked her.
a lot.
listen, thanks for switching
your night to tonight.
our regular sitter
couldn't make it.
oh, yeah.
it's no problem.
and, hey,
I'm gonna get rid of this
king Arthur's court thing
soon as I bum
Nicky's truck again.
it's ok.
we don't mind it here.
it's big. You know,
it's in the way.
it's not a problem.
you don't have to keep
pretending, ok?
you don't have to act
like this whole thing
is easy and painless.
you know what?
I'm really not.
believe me.
I'm--I'm sorry,
ok? I'm--
I'm trying real hard,
but this is so weird.
I mean, Charlie
comes down to L.A.
and he makes
this whole big case
how the reason
I ditched Diana
is because I don't trust
the people who love me
not to leave.
and so I think, "ok,
I'm gonna work on that,"
so, uh, I go to see
my mom in Texas,
and then I come here,
and--whoops--all these
people who love me,
Kirsten,
they did what they
weren't supposed to do.
they left.
that still doesn't mean
that you can't trust anyone.
no, I know.
I know it doesn't.
you wanna know
how I know that?
it's you two.
it's you and Charlie.
because...well, hey,
let's just face it--
no matter where you went,
he never left you.
and I don't think
he ever will.
Probably that's why all
this stuff with Diana
really gets to me,
you know, because...
the only thing
I have now
that I can
trust like that...
is her.
Hey.
why aren't you
at school?
I thought
you had an exam.
just finished it.
good luck on
the scholarship, Sarah.
field just narrowed by one.
why?
I know how I did
on my finals.
and everybody keeps saying
you need a 3.6 gpa to win.
wait. You already called in
and got your grade?
no. I don't need to.
I know how I did.
so, here's to my newfound
independence.
I tanked my shot
at the scholarship,
also phi beta kappa,
the Dean's list.
but, hey, I did it
all on my own.
you know what?
I'm really sorry that
it didn't work out.
but isn't that
what happens?
I mean, you go to school,
and you try different
things.
some work out, some don't.
you make mistakes.
I mean, if you
had all the answers,
if you knew it all,
then what would
be the point?
I don't know. I mean...
hey, what's that
on your hand?
Sarah...
yeah, it's a...
yeah.
it's...
what?
you don't know? Um...
Bailey asked me...
he asked you...
to marry him? Bailey?
I thought you knew.
he was supposed
to call you.
my phone has been unplugged.
don't you think
I would've said something?
oh, my god!
yeah, pretty amazing.
why didn't you
say something?
I don't know. I--
oh, my god!
we're gonna be sisters.
oh, my god. Ha ha ha.
wow.
thanks.
(plays o solo mio)
excuse me.
i--i said no serenade,
ok? Do you mind?
sorry about this.
the honeymoon dinner package
wasn't refundable,
or I would've--
I understand.
I thought
we'd be celebrating.
it's ok, Charlie.
look, can I just, uh,
can I just say one thing?
I told you
I don't mind.
I'm sorry that I picked
that moment to ask, ok?
and I'm sorry that it seemed
like I was only proposing
to cheer you up.
you don't have--
I guess I just thought,
"what's the difference?"
I ask you now,
because Daphne's back,
well, people--people do things
for funny reasons all the time.
Charlie, hold on.
and could we have waited?
of course, but does that
mean we should?
(plays o solo mio)
listen, I've asked you guys
twice now.
do you know how
to speak english?
so, ok, I admit it.
I asked you so that
you'd know that I loved you--
can I say something?
how does that make
getting married a bad idea?
yes, Charlie.
why I chose that moment--
that has nothing to do
with how I feel for you.
I'm saying yes.
do you hear me?
I know what your
feelings are, Charlie.
I guess...Sometimes
I forget, maybe.
but I've always known.
so...next year...
tomorrow...
I will marry you.
whenever you want.
(men play o solo mio)
(Bad cover of
love shack plays)
ouch.
hey, where you been?
nowhere. Just out driving.
I swear, if one more
of these bands
starts their tape out
with love shack,
we're not getting married.
(another song plays)
hey, this is nice.
try it on for size?
(Cries)
hey...
hey.
why are you--
how did this happen,
Bailey?
how did I wake up
with this life
and this diamond ring
on my finger?
What is it?
what's wrong?
I mean, I know
how it all started.
it started with you.
and it was great.
but then things
started happening.
you took on Owen.
we moved here.
that gave us claud
and the house,
and that's fine.
that's all fine.
except I don't remember
asking for any of this.
ok, Sarah. I know.
I hear you.
you are
what I asked for.
you and school,
and it just seems like
there's less and less room
for what I asked for.
ok, so we'll
work on all that.
ok? We'll
move things around.
things like Owen?
Bailey, come on,
he's a child.
and he needs
what he needs.
and my college problems.
they just don't seem
to matter that much.
not now and especially
not once we're married.
come on, gimme some
credit here.
you don't think that I care
about what's important to you?
you don't think
I'm gonna find a way
to make all this work?
what if I don't
want it to work, Bailey?
I love you so much.
I really do, but I'm 19
and in college.
and for me, that means
trying stuff out,
like making mistakes.
but mistakes where I can
take an "incomplete"
if, you know, things
aren't working out.
not mistakes where
other people's lives
are riding
on what I choose.
Sarah...
I can't be engaged
to you, Bailey.
I'm sorry,
but I can't.
You sure he doesn't mind,
though?
we could still cancel.
there's still time
to make the calls.
that's just what I said.
offered, like, 50 times,
but you know Bailey.
he wouldn't take no
for an answer.
hey, what time is it?
shouldn't Diana be here?
Daphne is a little late.
you did tell her the house,
not the apartment, right?
yeah, yeah.
I wrote it all down.
hi.
hi. Hey.
you guys
get enough soda?
'cause I can
grab some more
from the restaurant.
no, no, no.
we're all set.
listen, um, do you
have a minute,
'cause we've hardly talked
about all this Sarah stuff.
I got to go
get some candles.
the ones around here are
all down to the wicks,
so--
I'll be back.
Thanks.
Bailey, could we, um,
could we talk about
this, please?
not right now, Sarah, ok?
this is Charlie's party.
so you're just gonna
be like this?
you're gonna
avoid me all night?
you broke off
our engagement, Sarah.
how am I supposed
to feel about that?
I don't know.
but we weren't engaged
3 days ago,
and you were ok, then.
come on, Sarah.
I love you. Bailey,
that's the same.
think about what you did.
think about it.
think about
what no means.
no means that you have
doubts about me.
it means I have
doubts about me.
that's the
same thing, Sarah.
it means you don't wanna
get married to me
because you can't
help but think
that somewhere out there,
there's something else for you.
that there's something
better for you than me.
I never thought that,
Bailey.
I didn't.
but if there is
something else,
something else
out there for me,
then I've
never found it.
I've been looking
all my life,
and the best thing that
I have found by far
is you.
Hey, claud.
god, look at you.
you look...Great.
that dress is--
could you not say that
like that, please?
what?
what's wrong with--
it's the same as saying
what you don't like, Bailey.
it's still trying to make me
what you want me to be.
ok, I'm sorry, claud.
no, no, I'm sorry.
that's--
that's not what
I wanted to say.
I heard about Sarah.
I know you're
probably feeling...
I...
got this for you.
It's my new pager number.
for your rolodex.
'cause no matter how many times
I beg you to stop,
I know that
you'll still worry.
so...
Claudia, that's--that's
exactly what we need.
what's this?
oh, um...It's the bill
for the pager.
I got you
a really good deal.
Thank you
so much for coming.
oh, hi.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
I lost that piece of paper
you gave me,
and I couldn't remember
if it said 6:00 or 7:00.
it's 8:00 now, Daphne.
oh, is it? Sorry.
kind of actually forgot
my watch today, too.
so...
anyway, um...
congratulations.
that's, you know,
what you're supposed to say.
bye, sweet potato.
love you.
joy, could you, um,
take Diana for a second?
sure. No problem.
thanks.
Daphne, hold on.
wait a second.
what's going on
with you? What's wrong?
I'm sorry. What?
you lost the time
you wrote down?
you forgot your watch?
I mean, come on.
I thought we were
gonna be straight
with each other.
no pretending.
look, it's just...
this all happened
so fast, you know.
you and Charlie are
getting engaged like that.
you're circling the wagons.
wait. "Circling
the wagons"?
you're a family now, ok?
and where does that
leave me?
I'm...
what?
I'm some sort
of fifth wheel
who just happens
to have her name on
Diana's birth certificate.
that's not--
no, you don't understand.
I want to be
in her life, ok?
but not just because
it's good for me.
Daphne.
you know what?
there's plenty of food
out back.
and there's people
that you know.
why don't you stay?
you don't have
to do that, Kirsten.
no. No pretending,
remember?
I want you to stay, ok?
I want you to stay.
Justin, Justin, you're
not gonna believe--
Maggie, thank you so much
for calling me.
I'll call you back
later, ok? Ok.
yeah, yeah, yeah. Bye.
what?
I won. I won
the scholarship.
they just
sent a telegram
to the dorm. I won.
I won.
hey. Wait a minute.
I thought your grades
didn't cut it.
well, I know, but
I guess I was wrong.
or maybe they loved
my essay. Or--
no, no. You said
your essay sucked.
I thought it did.
huh. Maybe they made
a mistake.
oh.
no. They--
they didn't
make a mistake.
I did.
Justin,
I made the mistake.
it's like
nothing I ever do
is good enough for me.
and I mean, maybe--
is that why
all of this happened?
this what?
this relationship habit.
the--the way I keep
needing people.
I mean, maybe that's
what it is.
I keep
needing someone around
to say, "hey, it's ok.
you're ok,
no matter what."
you know?
kinda like my mom
and dad always did.
you...are ok, Julia.
you know that, right?
I know.
you're saying that now,
but what about the next time?
what about
when you are alone?
I'll remember.
I will.
Hey.
what's going on?
everyone's looking for you
downstairs.
nothing. I was just--
looking around this room.
it used to be yours.
probably still
should be yours.
and all I can think is...
I did everything wrong.
bay...come on, man.
we've been over this.
it's true, Charlie.
I don't know how
to do any of this.
'cause everything
that I try,
everything that feels
right to me to do,
just makes
everything worse.
for everybody.
listen, um...
the timing might not
be right for this,
maybe it is,
but, uh...
I need a favor from you.
it's a lot of work, and it's
sweating a ton of details,
but I'm gonna need
a best man.
someone I totally trust.
best man.
Charlie, don't do it.
don't do that.
I'll drive you nuts.
we'll be at
each other's throats.
Bailey, listen to me.
I know what I want, all right.
I want the perfect wedding.
I wanna walk down that aisle,
and I wanna know someone--
someone who cared,
like, way too much
made sure that there's
not one doily out of place.
now, who else
can give me that--
heh heh--besides you?
Hey,
you guys upstairs.
we're taking pictures outside.
get down here.
hey, Bailey, where did
you put my coat?
my camera's in it.
I can't find it.
oh, hey. I didn't know
you were gonna be here.
uh, I'm not.
I was just
bringing this by for
Charlie and Kirsten.
oh.
well, listen, we were just
gonna take some pictures.
why don't you come in?
I don't think so.
Griffin--
come on, you don't
want that, Julia.
a year from now, you're
gonna have the picture
hanging on your wall,
and you're gonna
have to keep explaining
who the hell's angel is.
ha! No. Just come in
for some food.
your coat's over there.
oh, good.
no one else
brought a camera.
I hope there's
film in here.
you're a lifesaver,
Griffin.
(door closes)
(Talking)
thanks for coming,
man.
hey, man, how you doin'?
come on, Owen.
Charlie! Come here.
when are we ever
together like this?
we need a picture.
I'll be back.
you, too, Bailey.
where's Sarah? She should
be in this, too.
hey, Justin, will you
take a picture for us?
yeah, no problem.
ok.
here. Hold that.
hurry up. Diana's
melting down here.
Ok.
look at the camera,
Diana.
all right. Everybody
schooch in, schooch in.
closer. Ok, that's good.
yep. Smile.
get closer.
you're a family.
(all chuckle)
where's Sarah?
Sarah, Sarah, get in here.
look at the camera.
uh, I think
I'm out of film.
oh, no.
Sarah's not in that.
no. I got one more.
Sarah, come on, quick.
(camera clicks)
