The People We Hate at the Wedding (2022) Movie Script

Once upon a time
in a faraway land known as the 1980s,
there was a lovely, smart, funny American
girl named Donna who moved to England,
where she fell in love with
a handsome Frenchman named Henrique.
They had a perfect child
whom they called Eloise,
and all was well until one day
Henrique decided, as we say in England,
to fuck the babysitter.
And so dear Donna returned to
her charming hometown of Indianapolis,
where she met another man who was...
well, he was Bill.
And Donna had two more children,
Alice and Paul.
For half the year,
Eloise would come to stay with them
and enjoy all the delights
of Midwestern life:
the motor speedway, the Putt-Putt,
and of course the mall.
That's Frosty the Snowman
He's a jolly, happy soul...
Okay, everyone, say "jingle."
Jingle!
Okay, everybody, hats and sweaters off.
Let's see that Easter flair.
All right, you heard your mother.
He is risen. Let's go!
Uh, wh-what's happening?
Well, I paid for three pictures,
so we're moving on to Easter.
Hey, big guy, do you mind stepping aside
for these next ones?
Yeah, let's go. Go get yourself a potato.
Extra bacon bits. You earned it. Let's go.
He's not allowed to eat in his suit.
Oh, just roll with it. Come here, Paulie.
- Ooh, Mom, can we be hugging in the picture?
- Yes.
Oh, let's flex.
- Uh, yes to hugging, no to flexing.
- Yes. - Yay!
- - Excuse me. We weren't ready.
- Come on.
I-I'm sorry.
There's a lot of people waiting.
All right, I will pay
for the four-picture package.
I can pay for it, Mum.
El, no, I'm not gonna allow
my 13-year-old daughter to pay for this.
- Her dad sent her here with $3,000.
- I know.
Oh, yeah, but we already decided
she's buying us a Jet Ski.
Bill.
I thought we landed on a hot tub.
How about one of those limousines
with a hot tub?
Let's get a lion.
- Let's get a Taco Bell and put it in our backyard.
- Yes!
Everybody, say...
Bunny.
Bunny!
Great. Okay, red, white and blue.
- Quick like bunnies.
- Wait.
You're forgetting
a very important holiday.
Give that to your mother.
And we'll all say...
Surprise!
Happy Mother's Day, Mum.
Sorry I always have to miss it.
This is so nice.
Aw. Oh, don't cry.
This is supposed to make you happy.
I'm sorry. I can't stop it.
It's happening.
Mom, does Ellie really
have to go home tomorrow?
Well, honey, she will be back
before you even know it.
Why can't her dad live here?
Because he lives in England, Alice.
- I hate England!
- Oh.
That's reasonable.
I'm sorry. Should I take the picture?
This isn't gonna get any better, hon.
Just take it.
Yes, Donna's three children
were once thick as thieves.
But as they grew, well, they grew apart.
Eloise had her father's fortune,
and Alice and Paul had
their father's Chrysler Sebring.
By the year 2022, the family had
scattered to the four winds,
but there was a glimmer of hope that could
perhaps bring them all together once more.
I'm speaking of course of a wedding.
And that is how our story begins.
Who took the bomp?
One, two, three, four
See you later
See you later.
What the fuck even is this?
Hi, sis.
Oh, my fucking God,
have you seen this invitation?
I-I am five minutes away from
homiciding someone.
- I can't stand her.
- I know. I know.
I opened mine this morning, and then
I just put it down on my kitchen table,
I poured kerosene everywhere, and then
I just literally burned my own house down.
I mean, the invites are gorgeous,
but I'm not kidding,
I think she spent like $25,000.
And they smell like rosemary.
I am moving to space.
Okay, I'm screaming, and I'm dead.
I died of screaming, and now I'm also...
I'm stabbing people.
I'm just, I'm just randomly
stabbing people.
- Paul!
- Oh, sorry.
Okay, give me one second.
I'm at work,
and I have a patient in a trash can.
That sounds fine and normal.
Okay, you got nine more minutes, Helen.
That's it.
There is a maxi pad near my shin.
- How does that make you feel, honey?
- I want to get out.
I want you to let that feeling in
but just not act on it.
I am gonna add some more trash now.
Now, remember, this might feel like
I'm heaping garbage on you...
...but it's a gift.
Hi. Sorry.
Are you going to the wedding?
No, I'm not going.
Alice, Eloise is our half sister, which
means we can half-ass the relationship.
Although, she did ask me
to be her maid of honor
when I was like 17.
Oh, my God. You're gonna go, aren't you?
She doesn't even want us there.
Or maybe she wants us to be her butlers.
Whatever.
- I'm not going.
- Uh-huh.
Okay, I really need to go now.
Listen, Alice, stay strong,
and please tell Mom to stop calling me.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Is anyone there? I seem to be stuck...
Ma'am? Coming in.
Oh, God, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
No worries. Uh, it's just my face.
Uh, okay, let's see.
- Let me just...
- I just got... I couldn't get...
Can you unzip?
- Whew.
- Sure.
I got it. Wait.
Oh, okay.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Oh.
Hi.
- I will pay for this.
- Don't worry about it.
Are you shopping for a special occasion?
Yes, my daughter Eloise
is getting married in England.
She lives there.
My first husband was European.
French. Henrique.
He's a douchebag.
- Oh. Okay.
- And my other children from my second marriage...
they don't seem
to really like me right now.
Especially my son Paul.
Ever since his father Bill died...
Bill was my second husband.
- Yeah.
- Life's a journey.
As for me, well, I guess the, uh...
romantic chapters of my life are over,
and I'm-I'm not sure what to do next.
- Well...
- And I've also developed
this totally irrational fear of traveling.
I'm so anxious.
But my friend Barbara gave me
some pot for my flight.
- Do you do pot?
- Uh, I...
Oh, you can't answer that.
You're at work, so don't.
The point is I haven't had
all my children together for a while.
I mean, since Bill's funeral.
Shall I get you some other options?
Yes. Yes.
I'll try not to completely destroy them.
Wow.
Can't ignore your mom forever, hon.
I absolutely can
ignore her forever, actually.
I'm very cold
and extremely heartless, so...
It's very hard to be a parent, Paul.
Okay, Helen, it's time for you
to get back in the trash,
and I'm gonna need you
to take those puppies off.
You're gonna have to rip these shoes
off my bony, old, dead legs.
You're the one who's paying
7,000 bucks a week to stand in trash
so you can function in a world
where germs exist, Hels Bells.
Okay, one at a time. Ooh, graceful.
That's all right.
Yes, very daintily.
Good. I'm going to let go
of your hand now.
You got it.
Take a deep breath.
You can do it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm right here. I'm right here.
It's okay.
No, I can't... Okay.
All right. Okay. It's okay.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Oh, hey, Al, uh,
do you have the RoboJet file?
Uh, it's just right here.
Uh, reschedule my Friday lunch, and
do you want to sit in on my two o'clock?
I could really use your input on this one.
Yeah. I could squeeze you in.
Can we get dinner after this?
Only if it's someplace nice.
No cheeseburgers.
- What if it's a very, very cool food truck?
- No.
You own this whole company.
You are not buying me a cheeseburger, bro.
Did you just call me "bro"
while we're fucking?
I'm sorry. Your Honor.
That's better. Say that one more time.
- Your Honor.
- Oh. Oh, shit. Oh.
How much money worth of wine
do you think is in this cup?
Like, is this $45 worth?
You know, sometimes I think that you're
actually just using me for my fortune.
Oh, my God, no.
I'm using you for your dick.
- I'm okay with that.
- Good.
Who was that?
Barf.
My mom is trying to get me to go
to my sister's wedding again.
Oh, and you're not gonna go
'cause you're gonna miss me too much?
No.
My sister's just...
We were close for a long time,
and I thought she was amazing,
but she was just rich.
Oh, that sucks.
No, not like a cool rich person
like you or like Iron Man.
- We're basically the same person.
- Mm-hmm. But it's different.
She's not there for me, you know?
Like, literally.
She was supposed to come see me
last summer.
Oh, so she wasn't there
for the breakup or the miscarriage?
Yeah, whatever.
She bailed, chose to stay in London
and play cricket
and shove fish and chips up her butt.
That's not how you eat them.
You should go.
Or maybe...
we should go?
What?
Give a girl a little warning.
Give her some warning next time.
Date night.
She's kind of up there, you know.
Hey, boys.
So excited for your big show tonight.
Do you know Paul has never seen King Lear?
Well, to be fair,
I did see Gnomeo & Juliet,
by myself, through a series of mix-ups.
Oh, we're doing a whole gender thing,
so it's actually Queen Lear.
Oh, wow.
I'm sure it's better than that production
of Cats where they made them all dogs.
Oh, hey, Dallas.
Hi.
Dallas, you have to meet Dominic and Paul.
They are our best friends, and it is
a travesty we haven't introduced you yet.
Hi, Dallas. Is it true what they say?
Is everything bigger in Texas?
Well, hi, boys. Uh...
Oh, there's the lights.
Let's go. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Um, I'm not a part of that.
I'm just their straight friend.
Yeah, we figured.
You dress straight.
Wait, Dom.
What is a Dallas?
He's their, you know, extra.
- They opened their relationship?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm shocked.
- Oh, Paul, you're so easily shocked.
- I am not.
Yes. You're shocked every time
they reveal a Masked Singer.
Okay, well, it's never
who you expect it to be.
That's the whole point of the show.
Paul, I'd love to talk to you
about making the trip.
Airplane emoji.
Where are you? Where are you? Oh.
No, that's a knife.
...that she may feel.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is.
To have a thankless child.
Why did she send a knife?
All right, sir, this is your destination.
Please feel free to give me a five-star
rating on my pretend Uber account.
I will give you six.
- ...ty-nine?
- No.
Yes! You said it.
All right, time to face the music.
You know, you could come to my place
sometime, for the night.
You could even ride up front
like a real boy.
No, the-the way that she's gonna yell
at me for being this late is bad enough.
I mean, if-if I was out all night,
believe me...
Yeah, okay. I get it. Never mind.
Alice, I'm sorry.
I mean, she already knows
that I want a separation, but...
The baby.
Yeah.
Okay, I hate you. Go.
I hate you, too.
See you tomorrow.
I'm worried about Preston and Crosby.
An open relationship
just sounds very messy.
Mm, I think that's sort of the point.
I thought they were happy.
Maybe they just want to share
their happiness with someone else.
Gosh, Paul, you're so young
but so traditional.
Well, I think it's nice when two people
can really commit to each other
for life, you know?
Like I thought my parents did.
- Maybe they did.
- No. No.
My mom threw away all my dad's stuff,
like, a week after he died,
like he never even existed.
And she never even talks about him.
I still don't think
this awkwardness with your mom
should stop us from going to London.
Hmm?
Okay, well, honey, my mom's not
the only reason I don't want to go, okay?
I also... have to work.
And... um, well, I don't like scones.
Okay, so scones and open relationships...
they're off the table.
Wait, do you really wish
we had an open relationship?
No.
No, I don't.
Paul, I think
you should talk to your mom.
You know, maybe she had her reasons
for being weird with your dad, you know?
Maybe he was whoring around town.
You know, really giving it to the ladies
at the Fuddruckers.
No, no. That's my mom's first husband
that cheated on her.
But she still has his picture
up in her house.
Henrique.
So then there's no Frenchmen
in our threesomes?
You're hilarious.
You know I'm bad at communication
It's the hardest thing for me to do
And it's said
it's the most important part
That relationships go through
And I gave it all away
just so I could say that
Well, I know, I know, I know, I know
That you're gonna be okay anyway
You know there's no rhyme or reason
For the way you turned out to be
I didn't go and try to change my mind
Not intentionally
I know it's hard to hear me say it
But I can't bear to stay in
I just know, I know, I know, I know
that you're gonna be okay...
You'll be seeing a lot more of these
in London.
Don't let your mind retire
Oh, but I just couldn't take it
I tried hard not to fake it...
Oh! Hi. Martha.
Top of the... good morning to you.
Um, you're here to water the plants.
- Yep.
- Great.
I, um, came in to, uh, return the stapler,
and then...
something went wrong with my underwear.
As you can see. They slipped down.
They fell right off.
- I know that sounds crazy, but...
- Nope.
It's happened to me a bunch of times.
Let's troubleshoot.
Let me help you out here.
- I got this.
- I can probably just...
No, no. I got this.
Sorry. I got this. Please.
- All right, I see exactly what happened.
- You do?
- I see what you did.
- Yeah?
You just must have put
one foot through this morning.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Geez, what a goof, huh?
- Come on.
- It happens to the best of us.
- Okay, yep.
That's great, that's great.
- Perfect.
- Okay.
- And we're just... and that's as far as I can go.
- Okay.
And I want you to wiggle.
- Right.
- Give me a little...
"Er-ee, er-ee, er-ee."
- That's it. That's it. Wow.
- Yeah.
Ooh. That makes so much sense.
Well done.
- Thank you. Yeah.
- You did it. Yeah, great.
Um, okay, well, phew.
- I'm glad you were here.
- Yeah.
- Have a good day.
- You, too.
Always good to see ya.
Okay, bye. Love ya. I mean...
I know.
Ooh.
"I googled the best places
for scones in the city.
"It might be fun
to try something new together.
Love, Dominic."
Fucking Dallas.
- Paul Stevenson.
- Paul.
Oh, finally. It's Mom.
Shit.
Paul. Quick word?
It was just a hug.
The protocol is the protocol.
If we soothe our patients,
they won't learn to self soothe.
Would you pick up a baby
every time it cried?
No. I wouldn't.
I would...
put the baby down.
With extreme prejudice.
You've broken the bond with Helen.
My method of treating OCD,
which may I remind you
is considered the gold standard,
requires patients to confront their fears,
to be alone with their discomfort
until they learn to comfort themselves.
Sometimes a hug can be worse than a slap.
I'm giving you one month's unpaid leave
to confront your fear of doing your job.
Hi, Paul.
Guess who's coming to London.
Mm. Guess who else is also going,
and that guess is me.
Yeah, well, my job sucks,
and I do not want to wind up
with a Dallas.
Did that sentence make no sense,
or am I drunk?
Or both?
Drink for me.
Oh, Alice,
I'm just so relieved.
Okay, hon, w-we'll talk soon.
Okay, bye-bye.
Yes! Alice and Paul are both
going to the wedding.
Why can't you ever be happy for me,
Gerald, huh? Just once?
Where are you?
I am two wines deep
and considering ordering something
called the Excess Baggage Bacon Bites.
Alice, I'm not at the airport.
I-I can't fly out tonight.
What? Why?
Uh, Marissa...
I don't want to hear about her.
Look, I just need more time, okay?
It's been months.
You can't understand, okay?
- You don't have children.
- Oh, fuck off.
I'm sorry.
I... I didn't mean it like that.
You know, when you said, "Let's go,"
I kind of thought you wanted to go,
- so I guess that's on me.
- I'm sorry.
I will be there as soon as I can.
Just please trust me.
Okay.
I'll see you soon.
Oh. Excuse me. Excuse me.
- Shit.
- Sir?
Shit, I just got a notification
that our hotel reservation was canceled.
Surprise.
Uh, sorry, what?
Well, I canceled it because
my dear friend Alcott Cotswald...
you know my old PhD professor...
he offered us a room in his flat.
Sorry, your dear friend, is it?
And it's... We're gonna stay in his flat?
Are we on Downton Abbey?
Well, Alcott is quite wealthy
and quite gay, so...
...you know, I just figured his place
would be much better than the hotel, so...
Oh, Paul, you don't...
you don't seem happy.
- Mm.
- No?
I just feel like your life
has been such a bummer,
and I wanted to do something nice for you.
But if you don't want to stay with Alcott,
- then I'll just cancel.
- No, no, no.
No. No. It's fine.
Good. Good.
- You're going to love him.
- Mm-hmm. I'm sure I will.
I love old, weird, rich men.
Prince Charles... mm, delish.
Oh, dear God.
- What?
- What?
- Oh!
- Oh!
Oh. Ah, sorry.
I shouldn't have worn such a light pant.
Does someone have Tide to go?
Sir?
Oh, my God!
- Are you okay?
- Uh... Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
I-I'm fine. I just...
My ex-husband just...
messaged me on the Facebook.
Oh, okay.
I mean, he said... Listen to this.
"Looking forward to seeing you, darling."
- Hmm.
- Dumb.
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
So annoying.
Look at him. Still handsome, right?
Ooh. I'd let that happen. No offense.
Oh, gosh, I'm sorry.
I-I ate a marijuana gummy in the cab.
Do you want one?
I'm a police officer.
Oh. Um...
I don't actually...
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm not.
Oh, my God.
You gave me a heart attack.
Hi. I'd like to upgrade my ticket, please.
And not because I'm drunk.
Of course, ma'am.
Watching strangers smile
Never knew it was a privilege
- Until the wide, fearful eyes...
- Water?
Water?
I've always wanted to live by the sea.
Now I've been trapped...
Thank you.
For weeks on end
My knees, my back, my brain...
Holy shit, this is nice.
Mm-hmm.
Is this whole seat just for me?
I think so. You want me
to take a picture of you in it?
Maybe.
It's-it's my first time in business class.
My company upgraded me. So cool.
Very cool, Country Mouse.
Oh.
Wow. Okay.
Yes, I actually am from Kansas.
But what gave it away?
Was it the piece of straw
that I'm using as a toothpick?
I'm sorry.
I have no excuse. I'm just kind of a dick.
It's fine.
I kind of figured
that everyone in business class
was gonna be hot and mean like you.
I'm Dennis, by the way.
Alice.
Oh, damn.
They got Paddington on this flight?
You've seen it, right?
I haven't. Isn't it a kids movie?
Uh, okay, first of all, that's dumb.
It's not a kids movie.
It's just a very good movie.
And second of all, you are watching it.
We are watching it.
Sync.
Uh, it's kind of scary,
so just be prepared.
Mm.
No.
Why are you up so early?
My brother and sister
are getting here today.
And Mum of course,
but, you know, siblings are just special.
Oh, I can't wait to finally introduce you.
I'm sorry, I just...
I can't imagine being this excited
to see my siblings.
Well, that's because all Cecil and Bridge
ever talk about is horses.
Alice and Paul are so fun.
We haven't been in touch as much lately,
but I'm sure we'll be
best friends again in no time.
I don't want to seem
overly excited when I see them.
I've been practicing my face. How's this?
Great.
It looks like... boobs.
- Oh.
- Boobs.
Stop.
Stop it.
It's bad luck to look at
the bride's boobs before the wedding.
Okay.
But if I look at your bottom,
it's seven years of good luck, so...
I said stop.
I'm sorry I won't get to meet them
till the rehearsal dinner.
But I have to head out
to the family manse.
It's fine.
I really want this time
with them to catch up.
Did I ever tell you about
the time that all three of us
threw up in the booth at Taco Bell?
It's a beautiful story.
Moving.
I don't... I don't know why
I just did that.
Oh, yes, I do.
I ate a lot of marijuana.
You should have more.
Just kidding.
It's so good to see you, Donna.
You, too, Henrique.
- Where are your bags?
- Oh.
You know, I don't know.
It feels so weird to go from drunk
to hungover with no sleep in between.
Right?
Should we get a drink? No.
- Breakfast?
- Yeah.
I-I don't have any meetings
until, like, tomorrow,
so, yeah, you want to go get breakfast?
We should totally do that... that thing.
Okay, I'm gonna ignore the fact that
you just started talking really weird.
Thank you.
I think my hotel has, like,
a pretty elaborate brunch.
Great.
I love elaborate things.
Why are you still doing it?
You're still talking weird.
I know. Can you just keep ignoring it?
For how long?
- Babe?
- Hmm?
Are you pr-pretending not to be with me?
Oh. No, no. Uh...
Yes. Sorry.
It's just your pants.
Not that bad.
Mr. Dominic Shaw and Mr. Paul Stevenson?
Uh-huh.
Let me get your bags.
No, you cannot find
a replacement for that light fixture
because it was one of a kind.
This isn't Conran's for Christ's sakes.
Yeah, fuck Conran's.
Yes, I do expect to be reimbursed.
- Hello, boys. How was your flight, hmm?
- Mm.
Who's ready for a shower?
Oh, I'm already wet.
- Beam me up
- Beam me up
- Count me in
- Count me in
- Three, two, one
- Three, two, one
Let's begin
- Here we go, here we go
- Here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go, here we go
You said, "Baby, do you want
to come home with me?
I got Buffalo '66 on DVD"
You said, "Baby, do you want
to come home with me..."
Hi. Uh, checking in.
- Alice Stevenson.
- Stevenson.
Of course. Welcome.
How did you know my name?
Your sister, Eloise,
very kindly forwarded us your picture.
She wanted to ensure a smooth check-in.
And she has upgraded you
to the Sterling Suite.
Oh, I can't afford... I mean, I-I...
I prefer a smaller room 'cause,
as you can see, I'm very short.
I don't want to slip behind
a piece of furniture or get lost.
What would you even do, call 911?
Do you guys have 911 here?
Your bill has been covered in advance,
including any incidental charges
you acquire.
She didn't need to do that.
You've had a long flight, no doubt.
Shall we show you to your room?
Yeah.
Thank you.
- So...
- Yeah. I mean, what else are you doing?
- That's a giant bed.
- I know.
Why didn't we use the bed?
We were in a hurry.
Plus, we kind of fell off.
Well, you fell.
I was pushed.
Our miscellaneous charges have arrived.
Hello, miss. I have your breakfasts.
Right on, Jimmy John.
Mm.
Oh, yeah, there we go.
So, two orders of eggs Benedict,
one omelette forestire with spinach,
watercress and polenta fries,
a smoked Scottish haddock,
one order of pancakes, waffles,
two pain au chocolat,
side of bacon, side of sausage,
coffee service, tea service,
a lobster risotto...
- Gorgeous, yeah.
- ...orange juice,
one bottle of Veuve Clicquot,
a yogurt parfait,
the steak frites
and two bottles of sauvignon blanc.
Wonderful.
We've never tried food before,
and we are very excited.
Of course, miss.
Mmm.
Mmm.
What even time is it?
Mm, must be, like, 3:30 in the afternoon.
Oh, shit.
I have to go to dinner
with my dumb family soon.
Huh, better finish
all this breakfast, then.
Oh, I'm going to.
I'm gonna eat this. And this.
That.
I'm gonna head over due east.
Then I might... Don't even start here
'cause these are also mine.
I'm gonna finish all of it, and if I barf,
that will be no less than
what they deserve.
Are you my dream girl?
Please tell me you aren't married.
- Shit. Jonathan.
- What?
- Oh, no. Are you married?
- No. No, no.
No, Jonathan is my rabbit.
And I have to text someone... uh,
my friend who's watching him... real quick
just to make sure
he has enough, um... um...
- um...
- Carrots?
Yeah. Carrots.
Well, since I now know
that you have a rabbit
and I still think that
you might be my dream girl,
do you think I can
see you again while you're here?
Sorry, what?
I was asking you out.
Oh.
Huh.
Oh, God!
Oh, sorry.
Didn't mean to startle.
That's okay. I thought you were Dominic.
No, most decidedly not.
So, do you always just barge into rooms
in your own house like this?
Oh, yes. It's one of my worst habits.
Ah, if I told you my worst habits,
I'd have to kill you.
Ah.
We better get going.
Yes, of course.
So, my driver will scoot you off
to your little family dinner,
but tomorrow night, you two belong to me.
- Yes, sir.
- Well, let's just remember that
I'm going to look like
a little tiny pile of ashes
after spending the evening with my family,
so you'll have to carry me out in an urn.
You're funny.
He's funny.
Mm, spend enough time with me,
it's bound to rub off.
Mm.
My heart goes up, my heart goes down
We fall in love
And we fall back out
I'll give you anything you want...
I miss those days when
you were just a little baby, Ellie.
But maybe soon we will have a grandchild.
Slow down, Henrique.
Let her enjoy her wedding first.
What is it, Ellie? Is something wrong?
I'm okay, Mum, just tired.
Weddings can be stressful.
Remember to breathe.
My bitch!
Yay!
Oh, hi.
- Oh, thank God you're here.
- Oh, my God.
- Ugh.
- I can't believe that I am.
- You remember Dom.
- Hi, Dom.
Alice! Paul!
- Paul.
- Good to see you, Mom.
- Um, Dominic.
- Henrique.
- Dominic, nice to see you again.
- Nice to see you again.
- Have you been waiting long?
- Oh, big-time.
Well, I'll just go
check on the table, then.
And you look the same,
and that's not fair.
- Thank you.
- Is it possible that, um,
I'm still a little stoned?
- Did you see? She just paid.
- White wine, madam.
- You're hilarious.
- Please.
- I got it.
- Thank you.
Let's not be shy, okay?
Really.
Everyone. Hello.
First, I'd like to say thank you
from the bottom of my heart
for coming to England for my nuptials.
I know it was likely difficult
to press pause on your work and lives,
and I so appreciate it.
Now, sweetheart,
we wouldn't have dreamed of not coming.
So, cheers.
Cheers.
Paulie.
Okay.
And since it's been a little while
since we've all been together,
I thought we'd play an icebreaker game
that I found online called
- "Would You Rather."
- Oh.
I played it with my team at work,
and they absolutely loved it.
Oh, what do you do for work again?
Oh, I'm a project manager
at Painted Wings.
It's a foundation that encourages
the disadvantaged to enjoy art.
I like to encourage them to enjoy food.
What was that, Paul?
Mm.
Alice had something disgusting
in her teeth. Ugh.
'Cause I'm disgusting.
Okay, I will start with Paul!
At your own risk.
Oh, this is a fun one.
Would you rather be four-foot-five
or seven-foot-seven?
Ooh, are we talking height or wiener?
- Paul.
- Excellent follow-up.
Excuse me. Thank you.
- It's a fair question.
- It's very fair.
Okay, definitely seven feet.
I don't think there's a gay on the planet
that wants to be miniature,
because then you run the risk
of an old crone coming along
and snatching you up
and putting you in her glass menagerie
along with her treasures.
It's happened before.
Alice.
- Your turn.
- Would you rather be
poor and work at a job you love
or rich and work at a job you hate?
Rich and hate.
Wait, Alice, you work at
Jonathan Walsh's company, right?
Yep.
Are you on the tech side or creative?
Uh, I'm his assistant.
Oh.
Well... yay.
Alice is an extremely
talented architect, and she'd be immensely
successful at it if she wanted to.
I want to do what I'm doing.
That's why I'm doing it.
Sorry, I thought I was defending you.
We can't all have rich papas.
Some of us have to get non-volunteer jobs.
I know that.
Actually, not all of us have dads at all.
Paul. That's too dark.
Alice, the wine is spilling.
You bet it is, Mom.
El, hit us with another one. This is fun.
Ooh, I'll go, I'll go.
Okay, Mom,
off the top of my head, would you rather
have your husband die
or give away all his stuff without
asking us if we wanted any of it?
Ooh, or both. Is that allowed?
Can you do both, Eloise?
Paul, you shouldn't
talk to your mother that way.
Oh. I know that you're
very supportive of my mother.
But also, isn't there a 19-year-old with
daddy issues in this restaurant somewhere
whose self-esteem you should be
absolutely destroying?
Do you have any more questions, El?
'Cause this is a fun icebreaker.
I'm loving it.
Oh, look! The food is here.
- Oh. Mmm.
- Delicious.
- Delish.
- Amazing.
Well, so lovely having you all here.
Only 72 hours till the big "I do."
It's just so wonderful being here
together with my children
and all their friends.
Sorry, did you mean Dominic
when you said "friends," Mom?
'Cause, you know, he's not my friend.
He's my sexual lover.
No, no, no. Not more of this.
Paul, that was not directed at you.
You know I support you.
- Oh, my God, Alice.
- I'm fine.
I think I just had some bad chicken.
We didn't have any chicken.
Poor thing.
Excuse me, sir?
- Yes?
- You see this man here?
- Uh, yes.
- Well, he's my son.
- What's happening?
- And Dominic here is not just his friend.
- No. Mom.
- He's his boyfriend.
Or, uh, lover. Or partner.
- Okay.
- They do sex things.
- Ooh.
- He puts it in his butt.
- No, that's not... that's...
- Or maybe he puts it in his butt.
- Oh, this is so much worse.
- It doesn't matter.
It's A-OK with me.
I want to tell him my son is gay
and I'm proud,
and I always have been.
Very proud.
Eloise.
Oh. Hello, Tom.
Ha!
Everyone, this is Tom.
We work together.
Oh, good.
Mom was just explaining anal sex to him.
Tom, this is, this is my family.
I'm the proud father.
I would be.
Well, it's, uh, it's lovely
to meet you all.
And, uh, congratulations
on the whole, uh, gay shebang.
Um, everyone's doing it.
Well, I'll see you at the wedding, Eloise.
Did he just congratulate you
for being gay?
- Straight up.
- No!
Shush.
All of you.
I'm going to assume that all of your
absolutely outrageous behavior tonight
can be attributed to jet lag
and not some sort of advanced rot
occurring in each of your minds.
But heed my words.
This is my city, these are my people,
and furthermore, and most importantly,
this is my wedding.
And you will not fuck this up for me.
So whatever's going on with you tonight,
I trust it is out of your systems entirely
and from this moment forward,
you will behave like a normal family
who is here to happily celebrate
a loved one's wedding.
Alice!
Sober the hell up
before my hen do tomorrow.
Paul, leave Mum alone.
And, Papa, just-just...
You're basically being fine
for once, actually.
- Eloise, if I...
- Absolutely not!
- I...
- Shush!
You tried.
I am pressing the reset button
on all of this right now.
Is that understood?!
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. - Good!
Mum, Papa, let's go.
She's even prettier when she's angry.
Absolutely radiant. And that dress?
- No one else could pull it off.
- No one I know.
No, I can't sleep alone,
I just wanna go home
But I sleep alone again...
I was always wanting more,
but I never knew...
Jonathan?
Your rabbit?
Oh, hi, Dennis.
No, my house sitter was gonna call
so that I could talk to my rabbit.
Um, he has trouble sleeping
'cause he's...
a sociopath.
O-Okay.
Um, well, listen.
Uh, maybe this is a little forward,
but, um...
can I see you tomorrow night?
Um, I have my sister's bachelorette party.
How about tonight?
Y...
Um, you know, I'm just really busy
and kind of exhausted.
Uh, okay. No worries.
I know lots of other women in London,
like Emma Thompson, the Spice Girls,
Princess Diana.
Uh, 's ghost.
Okay, great, so I'll call you later,
then, okay?
Uh, right. Uh, good night.
"Can't wait."
Hi!
On the chaise longue, on the chaise
longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue...
- This is Moffy...
- Hello.
...Mimzy
- and Bits.
- Hello. - Bits. Hi.
Uh, did Mimzy not email you
about what to wear?
Oh, I'm such a cunt.
I didn't. I forgot.
- Aren't I a cunt, Bits?
- She really is a cunt, Alice.
Concur one thousand percent.
But I know a place we can stop
and get Alice a suit.
Thank you.
So this is a British
bachelorette party, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
- - A hen do?
Yeah, a hen do, yeah.
Are we not gonna get to drink vodka
out of penis-shaped cups?
Oh, my God, Americans are so fun!
Can you imagine Eloise
drinking out of a penis cup, Bits?
Well, maybe with a pinky out.
She could, you know.
I like Alice.
Oh. Uh, oh, pull over just here.
On the chaise longue,
on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue,
on the chaise longue...
Hang tight. We'll be back with a suit.
On the chaise longue,
on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue...
Having fun?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm.
Yeah, your friends are nice.
They like you.
I mean, they like that you make fun of me.
Oh, I wasn't...
- Um, I-I didn't mean to...
- Oh.
No, no, it's okay.
You know, there's actually...
I've been meaning to talk to you
about something,
something I should've
talked to you about sooner.
Okay. Uh, good.
I just feel like you are so talented,
and my friend here in London
has an architecture firm
and is looking for someone, and...
Oh, my God.
What?
Uh...
I mean, I just... for a second there,
I actually thought that
you were gonna apologize.
Apologize for what?
For last summer.
Well, I-I know... I mean, I mean,
I-I know I canceled last-minute,
but you said it was fine.
Yeah, of course
I said it was fine, Eloise.
That's what people say
when things aren't fine.
Well, I tried to fly you out to visit me
so we could talk, and then...
I'm so sorry I didn't want
to sit in your fancy apartment
and cry on your expensive couch.
You know what? Never mind.
Never mind.
I have a job.
I'm not a damaged charity case.
I don't need your help.
I wasn't trying to...
- All right!
Onward!
On the chaise longue...
Look what we got you.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
This will be perfect for my wedding
to Donald Trump Jr.
On the chaise longue,
all day long, on the chaise longue.
Mm.
- Here you go, sir.
- Thank you.
God, it feels good to be out.
Even if it is with you, whom I despise.
Huh.
You know, I never told you
how sorry I was about Bill.
That's okay.
To be honest, things with us
weren't great before he passed.
You're a very good woman, Donna.
I was a stupid man when we were married.
Finally agree on something.
But I haven't lost
all of my charm, have I?
Henrique, you're so full of shit.
Does that stuff still work
on your 25-year-olds?
Like you wouldn't believe.
Does it make you feel younger,
getting all that young ass?
I guess, uh, just makes me feel...
I always liked new cars, you know?
But lately, just not so satisfying.
Oh, boo-hoo.
You're not buying
any of my bull today, huh?
"Poor me. I fuck 22-year-olds.
I drive a fancy car.
I've never felt an emotion in my life."
I have a hotel room.
All right. Okay.
Okay, all right.
Oh, my God.
Guys.
You got a yacht.
Oh, no, that's not our boat.
That's our boat.
Hell yeah!
Oh.
- Right.
- She gets her nails done...
Ladies, the river is cold,
but it's plenty warm in here.
Right.
Whoa. Whoa.
This is your captain speaking, lovelies.
Rock and roll!
Now, first things first.
I know where the beer's hiding.
Which one's facing the life sentence?
Yes, here. That one.
- She'll be needing one the most.
- Whoa! -
Sorry, sweetheart.
I'm a better driver than thrower.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
I'm a better drinker than driver.
Sir, is there any way we can
maybe make it less bumpy?
That's what she says to Ollie every night.
Hey! Feisty, this one.
"Just put it in and stay still."
That's me.
"Ollie, please stop.
I'm trying to organize
my vegetable drawer."
I think that's about enough for now.
That's what she says to Ollie!
I do not feel well.
Sir, I do not feel well.
Want me to crank it, do ya?
No. Do not crank it.
That's what Eloise says to Ollie!
Alice, that's enough.
- Alice, that's enough.
- What are you talking about?
- Alice, stop it. You're embarrassing.
- I'm fine.
- Eloise, let go of my wrists.
- Alice. Alice.
Oh, babe wrestling!
Oh, no.
Fuck! It's cold!
- Oh, no!
- Eloise!
- Help!
- Oh, no! -
Hang on, lovelies.
Too far!
Wait, is that a sausage in the water?
That's not what that is.
Oh, my God, where are my bottoms?
Do you follow cricket?
Yeah, of course, of course.
I know all the rules.
You hit the bibbity-bob
with the picky-pike,
and then everybody says, "Good show!"
Oh, so you do watch.
Yeah.
To new adventures.
Hear, hear.
And to old, rich Englishmen
who pick up the tab.
Did you just call me old,
you little wanker?
I'm just saying, when I first met you,
I thought you were Sherlock Holmes.
The cheek of it.
How dare you? Right.
I'm off to find Dr. Watson
in the lavatory.
Mm, ah, you two sure seem to be
getting along nicely.
- He's surprisingly nice.
- Mm.
You know, it just makes me think.
Would it be so bad
if something were to happen?
I don't know. It could be fun.
Wait, does he think
that's what's gonna happen?
Well, I think he likes us.
Mm. What's say we finish these up
and head home for a little nightcap?
- Mm, yes.
- Well, no, no!
I mean, not yet. Right?
We should keep
this party train a-rockin', right?
Oh, splendid idea.
Well, why don't we wet our beaks
with something a little stronger
and then hit that dance floor.
Oh, genius. I love to dance.
- You love to dance?
- Yes.
Absolutely. You can't keep me
away from a good beat, you know?
I love...
beats.
Especially...
dancing beats.
Let's go. Come on.
I'm game.
The kids can never know this happened.
Ah, yes.
I'm the Disney villain
who destroyed the family, huh?
No.
The Sebastian the crab?
No.
He was not a villain.
I took a guess.
More like Pep Le Pew.
You're still so beautiful.
No, I'm not.
I'm old, and my skin is loose,
and I don't care anymore.
Check these out.
Ding-da-da-ling, da-da-ling
Da-da-ling, da-ding-ding
Ding-da-da-ling, da-da-ling
Da-da-ling-ding-ding.
You know, you might be
dangerously fun now, Donna.
Yeah? Well, eat your heart out, baby.
Get back here.
We'll just get cabs from here.
Right, girls?
Yeah.
We're so sorry, Eloise.
We thought it would be fun.
I know.
I know. Let's just forget it, guys.
It was really nice of that man
to give me his pants.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really sorry.
See you both at the wedding.
Indeed.
Alice, before you go in,
I just want to explain.
I knew you'd had a miscarriage,
and I wanted to be there for you,
but I just couldn't do it because...
Can we just stop?
Let's just stop. It's too hard.
I'm...
sorry for how I acted today.
I just feel so put down by you
all the time
that sometimes I can't control myself.
And I just really want to stop trying.
I'll come to the wedding,
then I'll fuck off and go back to America,
and we can stop pretending
like we're sisters
when the truth is we aren't even friends.
But, Alice, that's not what I want.
I know you're not
used to hearing this, El, but...
most people don't get
exactly what they want in life.
You really think I don't know that?
Yeah, I really think you don't.
So will you stay?
'Cause I'm, oh, so sick of this place
Feeling way too big and...
Fuck. Fucking fuck!
London is lonely without you
Hi. It's Alice.
I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me?
Oh
And I'm giving it my all...
Am I on fire?! Am I on fire?!
Am I on fire?!
I think we'd better get him home.
Or can we just leave him here?
You're a very bad man.
You have no idea.
Sweetie, come on. Let's go. Let's go.
- You're fine.
- Oh, God.
Oh, home sweet home.
Oh, yes.
Well, I'm just saying, I think
that we should count ourselves lucky
that the whole place didn't burn down.
- That's true.
- I think so.
- Oh!
- Dominic!
- Don't worry, don't worry.
- Jesus!
Been meaning to smash that for ages.
Oh, God, that's probably more expensive
than everything you own, Dom.
Yes, absolutely right.
Do park your tiny little bottom
right down here.
Ooh, it's hot.
Isn't it?
Oh.
Uh...
Mmm.
Right there.
That feels good.
Oh, yeah.
Well
Now
Relax, don't do it
When you want to go to it
Relax, don't do it
When you wanna come...
Ow!
Ow.
Oh. Hi there.
Hi.
Relax...
Hi. Also, hi.
Hi.
Whoa. Okay.
Share, boys. Share.
There's enough to go around.
You like that?
- Yeah.
- I'm asking him if he likes it.
What?
I said, do you like that?
No, you didn't.
I s... well, I said, "Do you like that?"
- And then he was...
- You know what?
I'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere.
When you wanna come.
- Ow.
- You need to calm down.
This whole thing was your idea.
Now I'm too into it?
Yeah, you need to be
more thirsty but less thirsty.
I don't understand how to ride that line.
Just be a whore, Paul.
Snacks and lube!
- Oh, yeah, baby.
- Are those chips?
Roast chicken and stuffing.
I'll go up on the couch,
and, Paul, you get on all fours.
- Oh, great idea.
- Oh, okay.
Sure.
All right, let me just
help you out with these.
Oh. Okay.
Thank you. Ooh.
- Oh, okay.
- There she goes!
- Mmm. Help yourself.
- Oh.
- Do you have any dip?
- Hmm.
I think I have some... some hummus.
And then of course baba ghanoush.
Oh, do you have any guac?
Mm, I'm bound to.
Uh, sorry, sorry to interrupt.
Am I a chips table right now?
Actually, Paul darling,
they're called crisps.
- Okay, no, no. No, no, no, no.
- Oh, sorry.
- No, no. I'm sorry.
- Of course, sorry.
No.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
What are you moaning about?
Nothing is happening.
I think I'm very drunk.
Oh, God. I have to pee.
Well, that was a bust.
We're all just too drunk.
We should've just gone home earlier
when I wanted to.
Oh, I see. So it's my fault, then?
I ruined this?
Actually, yeah.
All right, well, if you wouldn't mind.
No.
Not at all.
Good night.
Jonathan isn't a rabbit, is he?
No.
Boyfriend?
Not really.
But if I tell you, you'll think I'm trash.
Well, actually, I saw you eat bacon
off of the floor already,
so I know you're trash.
- Touch.
- Yeah.
So how did you meet this rabbit?
- I'm his assistant.
- Mm.
I was an architect...
I mean, I... I am an architect,
but he's my boss.
Oh. Complicated.
It's worse.
Married boss. With a baby.
Mm, then he's trash.
What? No.
He's...
He's, like, this...
big CEO and...
I mean, he's nice and funny,
and his wife is mean.
So you know her?
No, but I've seen her Instagram,
and it's, like, a lot of
really bad wine jokes.
Oh.
Yeah, wow, she sounds like a monster.
Hey, you are supposed to be
on my side here.
This is me being on your side
and not the side of
some rich, powerful guy who's lying to
two women just so he can fuck them both.
Well, it's over anyways now, so...
...just gonna go
to this wedding by myself,
and my family will see that I really am
the loser that they think I am.
I doubt they think you're a loser.
My sister does.
And she's right.
She's like Net-a-Porter,
and I'm like Nordstrom Rack.
Dot com.
Jesus.
I'm being serious.
Yeah, I know.
Like, I just pale in comparison, so...
Alice, when I first walked onto that plane
and I saw that I got to sit next to you,
I couldn't believe my luck.
I thought I was gonna be stuck next to
some creepy, gross businessman
who was just gonna fart his way
across the Atlantic.
That would've been so cool for you.
Instead... instead, it was you,
this sassy, gorgeous woman.
Who are you?
Dennis.
Dennis Bottoms.
What?
- What, what?
- Yeah, no, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have told you that.
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on.
Your last name is Bottoms?
- I-I shouldn't have told you.
- Oh, wow.
No, I... That was a mistake.
No, it's perfect.
- Oh, God.
- Okay.
Well...
Mr. Bottoms...
would you make me
the happiest woman in the world
and come to my horrible sister's
rehearsal dinner and wedding with me?
Okay, but I'm not putting out.
Dennis.
You and I both know that's not true.
In the summer of '16
Was it love or nicotine
That made us mellow on the 35?
It was penny paradise
Just a pretty likkle lie
And it hit me when I saw you
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me
like that someday...
Look, I'm gonna chalk up
what happened last night to the booze
so I can forgive you.
Oh, my God, what are you... Stop.
I feel awful about last night.
No, it's fine. I said I can forgive you.
Please stop crying.
Dominic, I wasn't apologizing.
I feel awful because you talked me into
doing a stupid threesome.
You always talk me into shit,
like moving to Philly
and-and taking that stupid job
and watching Project Runway
after Tim and Heidi left.
It's still good.
And now a threesome.
There's nothing shameful
about a threesome, okay?
Calm down.
I'm not ashamed.
I'm hurt, Dominic.
I feel like I'm not enough for you.
I'm never enough for you.
And I try so hard.
God, I try so hard to impress you.
And you can't see me, you know?
Dominic, you can't see me!
- We can hear you.
- England hates me!
I think I'd like to break up with you now.
Are you fucking kidding me?!
You're breaking up with me?!
- Yes.
- Oh, fuck.
I have feelings for Alcott,
and I'd like to explore them
with my tongue.
Oh.
Sounds gorgeous, but, um,
I'm actually kind of interested in Paul.
Oh, my G... That's so nice. That's so nice.
I mean, no.
No, thank you, but that's so nice.
Well, that's weird.
Oh, my God!
I do beg your pardon.
Uh, Dominic?
Yes. Do I know you?
It's Tom. We met the other night.
If you're thinking of a threesome,
just fucking don't.
Oh, God.
So I'll just go grab the rest of my stuff
and then you'll come get me?
Yeah. My sister arranged a car,
which is probably a Bentley or something,
and we'll ride with my mom and my brother,
who are a mess.
And my brother's boyfriend Dominic,
who's a turd.
I can't wait to meet my future in-laws.
Oh, my God.
"Love you"?
Everything okay?
I just got a text from...
...um, my sister, who is awful,
and she said that I cannot have a plus-one
to the rehearsal dinner or the wedding.
Oh. Wow.
- Really?
- Yeah.
She's the worst.
So what time's Jonathan getting in?
- No, uh, it's not... it-it wasn't...
- No, please don't.
D-Don't. Uh...
It's okay. I get it.
You know, Alice...
...first you were mean to me,
then you were super drunk,
then you slept with me,
then you stole all of my pancakes,
pretended that your married lover
was a rabbit,
turned me down for some rich asshole
who's banging you on the side,
then drew me back in,
invited me to your sister's wedding,
then ditched me for a rabbit again.
And despite that...
...I really like you.
Because you have literally everything
that any sane, decent man could ever want.
You are smart and funny
and beautiful and nice.
Occasionally.
But you don't want a sane, decent man.
You want someone
who makes you feel like shit.
Because you think you are shit.
That's really sad.
Wow.
You should, like, put that
on a coffee mug or something.
Come on, Alice.
We both know that's way too long
to put on a mug.
Good luck with your discount
Mark Zuckerberg motherfucker, Alice.
Hope it's worth it.
I know I fucked up
I'm just a loser
Shouldn't be with ya
Guess I'm a quitter
While you're out there drinking
I'm just here thinking
'Bout where I should've been
Water pouring down from the ceiling
I knew this would happen
Still hard to believe it
Maybe I'm dramatic
I don't wanna seem it
I don't wanna panic
I'm a sad girl in this big world
It's a mad world
All of my friends know...
Oh, my God.
You slept with him.
I did not.
I knew there would be some sort of
weird hookup at the wedding,
but I didn't think it would be
you and Papa.
Eloise...
Hi, Paulie.
- Hi, Dominic.
- Not now, Mom.
I got it. I got it.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Why are you wearing this silken romper
for our road trip?
She slept with my dad.
What?
It's more complicated than that.
Why is Dominic just standing there?
We broke up.
- Good.
- Good?
- Do you want me to give you a hug?
- No, absolutely not.
So I take it we won't be seeing you
at the wedding, then, Dominic?
Oh, I'm afraid not, but it was
wonderful to meet you, Eloise.
You're very beautiful,
so congratulations on that.
Unbelievable.
- Good luck to you, Dominic.
- Oh.
You'll need it if you think you'll ever
find anyone as wonderful as my brother
who will put up with a deeply embarrassing
twat like you ever again,
you small, sad man.
Fuck off, Dominic!
Look, Eloise...
Nope. Not getting into it now.
I'm in my zen wedding place.
Ta-ta.
Paul, what happened?
I don't really feel like
telling you about it, okay?
I'm trying to figure out
whether I'm gonna get on Grindr or not.
Oh, I think you should
take a moment and just...
Is this us?
Oh. It's gonna be a long ride.
Oh, God. Why don't you change
out of your sex clothes.
Good i... good idea.
- Well, this is nice.
- Oh, please.
Paul, move your knee
'cause it's right in my back.
Okay, I don't have
a lot of room to work with.
I'm so glad Jonathan's meeting us there
because he never would've fit in this car.
I-I for one am actually
really disappointed that he's not with us,
and also separately, who is Jonathan,
and what the fuck are you talking about?
I think he's Alice's boyfriend, Paul.
Mom, if Alice had a boyfriend,
I would know, okay?
We're very close.
Isn't Jonathan your boss?
- Alice!
- Sorry, sorry, sorry.
- Alice, watch the road.
- Sorry.
You know, honey,
it's never a good idea to date your boss.
- Mom...
- Mm-hmm, yeah, it's a much better idea
- to date your ex-husband who ruined your life.
- Paul.
I know you're upset right now
because of Dominic, but...
- A-Alice. Oh!
- Oh! -
- Sorry, sorry.
- Do you want me to drive?
Yeah, right. You're still hungover.
- I'm okay for right now.
- Are you sure?
Yes, I'm okay for right now.
- Don't, Paul. No.
- Oh! What? Come on. - I don't want to die today.
- I'm so sorry. I will text him for you.
- No. No.
Wait a second, isn't your boss married?
Why would you not tell me
you're dating your married boss?
Why would you not tell me that
you and Dominic were on the rocks?
Al-Al-Alice, the-the road.
- Watch!
- The road!
- - Sorry.
- Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Actually, can we pull over?
Can we please, can we please pull over?
My God, you kids still barf a lot.
- Let's just all calm down and try to have a peaceful ride.
- Ooh.
Okay?
Oh, my God.
- What in the world is that?
- That's a cow.
Oh, my God. Is it okay?
Hello. I-I'm sorry.
- I think we... Is this your cow?
- Is it okay?
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days
- Eloise, can I just grab you?
- Save me.
Are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, yeah...
Mm.
- Oh! Oh.
- Oh. Oh. - Oh.
Hello, Paul.
Well, 'ello, gov'na.
Fancy a crumpet?
I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding, you guys.
Uh, Paul, these are
my parents, Marjory and Frederic.
This is Paul, Eloise's brother.
Well, half brother.
Um, and as you can see, I'm flying solo,
because I was dumped yesterday.
Yes, of course.
Very sorry to hear about you and Dominic.
Well, turns out, Marj and Fred,
I'm pretty terrible at threesomes.
Know what I mean?
Aren't we all?
Well, I was more than willing,
is the thing, you know?
I was down to clown, as the kids say.
So on my hands and knees,
really sort of arching,
um, and Alcott comes in...
that was our third, the sort of
special guest star, if you will...
and he decided that he was feeling
a little bit snacky.
- Um...
- Would you excuse us for just one moment?
Rude.
Well, now, what do you suppose
happened next?
After the other young man got snacky?
Uh...
This is my only nice suit. God.
- What is your bloody problem?
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
Was I getting a little too real for you?
You just told my future in-laws about your
failed threesome at my rehearsal dinner,
so, yes, it was
a little too much for me today, Paul.
- Uh, sorry. Sorry.
- Come on, Eloise.
It doesn't matter what I say, okay?
You liked me when I was a little baby
that you could boss around,
and now you don't,
you don't want any part of
actual, real, messy, grown-up Paul, okay?
I'm very sorry that I can't be this
gorgeous, classy, stuck-up adult like you.
Oh, you're being such an ass.
Oh, really? I'm being an ass? Am I really?
Well, at least I didn't leave
my own sister high and dry
after her boyfriend abandoned her
because she had a miscarriage
that he blamed on her.
What are you talking about?
He blamed her? That's why they split up?
Yeah, and I flew out there
and visited her, okay?
I used my miles.
And I get it, okay? I get it.
Hey, why would you want
to spend any time with us, right?
You were always
the beautiful, wanted child,
and we were just Mom's second, less lovable family.
Now Mom is throwing herself at Henrique
like some desperate teenager.
Jesus Christ. Ugh, God.
I'm so, so thankful that my dad
is too dead to see any of this.
Well, I hate to break it to you, Paul,
but your father was an ass, too,
just like mine.
I guess it's sort of Mum's type.
Okay. You have no right
to talk about my dad like that.
He was a wonderful man, and he loved me,
and I've been lost without him.
What can you possibly still need to get?!
Oh, sorry, just this. It's cake.
Oh, God, Paul, you're so off base.
The truth is,
when you came out to your parents,
Bill couldn't handle it.
He said he thought it was disgusting,
and Mum told him she would leave him
if he ever made you feel
even the slightest bit unloved
or unaccepted.
She protected you from him,
even after he died,
and you've been nothing but awful
to her ever since.
- That's not true.
- It is.
No, he said that,
he s-said that he was fine with it.
He said that he loved me no matter what.
- He told me that.
- Mum made him say that.
No, she did... No, you're just m...
you're making things up.
I wish I were, Paul.
Mum loves you.
She was a fucking warrior for you.
Paul!
You all right, mate?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm okay, thank you.
Yeah, okay.
Wait, if you have a chance,
could you just bring some of those
- little cheese puffy things?
- Yeah, okay.
And maybe just, like, a little white wine.
- Sure.
- Okay, but not chardonnay.
That... yes, well, okay.
Thanks, everyone,
for coming tonight to witness this woman
making the biggest mistake of her life.
I met Eloise at the polo club,
and when I told my brother
I'd just seen the most beautiful girl
in the world,
he thought I was talking about one of the horses.
Thankfully, a similar mix-up
has not occurred here today.
You!
- Alice.
- No.
I mean, yes, I-I'm me, but...
Hi. Marissa, welcome.
Don't try to be cute right now.
Why don't, uh, let...
why don't you and I go outside?
No, no. I-I actually think
maybe it could be fun for everybody here
to know that this person...
and I use that word very loosely...
has been fucking my husband...
...while I have been home nursing a baby
who just vampires
the life force out of me...
Marissa, I'm sorry. Jonathan said that...
And I'm supposed to only blame him
for all of this, right?
Wrong. You're a woman.
- Okay.
- You should've known better.
You know how this feels.
Uh, why don't we just go outside,
- and we can talk and...
- No. No.
I am so tired of talking
to therapists and to sleep experts
and to my dumb piece of shit husband!
I'm divorcing Jonathan!
Yes.
I mean, I-I think you should 'cause we...
he screwed both of us over,
and we're the victims here.
But first I'm gonna fistfight you.
Get back here, Strawberry Shortcake.
I haven't slept in four days.
- I'm invincible!
- Stop this. Alice, stop this.
How am I supposed to stop it?
Paul, are you peeing on my feet?!
Uh, je m'appelle yes.
- Merde!
- What? Hey! Hey!
Get 'em up! Get 'em up!
- Can you call security, please?
- Don't call security!
Sorry.
- Paul!
- Oh, my God.
Oh, shit.
Alice, I'm gonna fuck you up!
- No.
- Alice, who's that lady?
No.
Oh.
- Oh.
- Stop.
Stop. Marissa.
Oh, hell no.
Oh, um, Mum, no!
Get her, Mom!
Mom, no biting! No biting!
Are... are you having a stroke?
I mean, do you think this is funny?
I do. I mean, kind of, yes.
Mom, you bit someone.
I did.
And I don't know
what kind of lotion she uses,
but it was honestly kind of pleasant.
She did smell amazing,
so I'm not shocked that she tasted good.
You guys are so weird.
Oh, my God.
You know how at every wedding
there are those people?
The people everyone talk about after.
The drunk uncle, the-the cousin
who humps everyone on the dance floor.
Cousin Randy.
- Ew.
- Every time.
We're those people this time.
We're those people.
Oh, savage, Mom.
Ouch.
Hey, Mom?
Mm, yes, Paulie?
I'm sorry that I've been
such a terrible garbage heap of a son.
No, Paulie, you are wonderful.
I just can't believe that Dad...
I know, sweetie.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because you loved him.
And you felt that he loved you
unconditionally,
and it's so rare to feel loved that way.
And I didn't want to destroy that.
And I'm sorry about Henrique
macking it on that floozy.
You know what?
It's fine.
Well, you deserve to be loved
unconditionally, too.
I already am.
Ayo.
Oh.
Did my daughter Eloise come?
Yes.
So are we being released?
No.
But she left a note for you.
A-A note?
She wanted me to read it to you.
Well, no, we can just read it oursel...
Okay, you're gonna do it.
"Dear Mum, Alice and Paul,
I love you all, but I have changed
your RSVPs for tomorrow to no."
Huh.
"All I've ever wanted was to feel like
a part of this family
"instead of like a satellite
spinning out in space all alone.
"I guess I thought maybe my wedding
would be a chance to reconnect,
"but I see now that maybe
we were never really connected.
"You have my promise:
From here on out,
I'll stop trying so hard."
Well, that's a real shame, innit?
Don't like to see that, do you?
Family torn apart and whatnot.
Yeah...
Dennis, hi.
Thanks for coming.
Thanks for even answering my call.
Sorry, Alice, who is Dennis?
Dennis is...
He...
I'm no one.
Alice and I used to be friends.
Oh, well, thank you very much.
- He's cute.
- Thank you, Dennis.
Hey, I am really sorry.
It's okay.
My big old, dumb, Midwestern heart
will mend somehow.
I'll meet a simpler girl,
like maybe a lady scarecrow.
Do you have those in Kansas?
Oh, yeah. Definitely do.
That him?
Yeah.
From his new phone,
because Marissa had his old phone,
which is why I thought he was coming.
And never mind. You don't care.
No, no, this is riveting.
Please go on.
He says Marissa is leaving him,
so we can finally be...
...together.
Sounds like a real dream come true.
Maybe someday you can punch his new
mistress at her sister's rehearsal dinner.
Circle of life.
Thank you again.
And I can, um, Cash App you for the bail.
Okay.
My handle is Dennis underscore Bottoms.
S-So sorry. Bottoms?
Paul, not now. Come on.
Well, we'll always have Paddington.
He's a good bear.
See you, Alice.
Okay, who was that, now?
Just a really great guy who genuinely
liked me and I completely fucked over.
Oh, there she is.
I'm doing great.
Hey. We're doing great.
Come on. Let's get you kids to bed.
I'm gonna tuck you in.
Donna.
Henrique.
I wanted to apologize.
Oh, really? What for?
For leading you on.
I didn't mean to ruin your life again.
Yeah, you know what, Henrique?
I think... I think I'm the one
who owes you an apology.
I think I should apologize to you
for ruining your life.
What are you talking about?
I'll tell you what I'm talking about.
I was your first love.
And I was a kind, good woman
who honestly loved you, and you blew that.
And ever since then, you've been trying
to fill the massive space that I left
with money and things and sex,
and nothing, nothing has probably ever
felt as good or real or safe
as having someone who actually cared.
And now, you know what,
your life is almost over.
You got what, 15 years left?
One before some X-ray or scan comes back
with a dark spot on it
and we're staring into the abyss?
So I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I showed you a glimpse of what
life is like when you treat people well,
when you hold on
to the tiny parcel of love you are given
and you say "thank you"
instead of throwing it into the street
and screaming for more.
I'm sorry it was probably never
as good for you again.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm going in there by myself,
because I'm very, very tired.
So good night, Henrique.
Ollie, you're not supposed to see me.
It's bad luck.
I figured we got all the bad luck
out of the way last night.
That's not funny.
I just... I don't want you
to have any regrets.
They are your family.
I suppose.
I've never really belonged to them.
Well, you belong with me.
And we will have our own family together.
I'm just gonna go and make sure
everything's set up and tip-top.
What color are these?
Oh, um, white?
They look cream.
Isn't that white?
Do you think snow and milk
are the same color?
Yes?
No.
No, they are not.
I've got to go
and get replacements for these.
It'll only take a minute.
Hello.
Martha.
I ordered 2,000 votives for my wedding,
and I believe you sent the wrong color.
You see, I ordered white,
and I received this.
- That looks white to me.
- Does it?
Does it, Martha?
Because I'm pretty sure that's off-white,
which literally means "not white."
And now I have 2,000 of those candles
scattered all over the property
where I'm getting married,
and it's not gonna be okay!
Help me, Martha.
You're the only one who can help.
Um, wh-why don't I go check in the back
and see if we have some white ones.
Great.
We do have the votives in white.
Oh.
Oh, well, that's perfect.
We have 200 of them.
Two hundred?
I need 2,000.
Martha, I-I have to get out of here.
I-I can't breathe. I just...
Eloise.
Do you know, I was just popping in here
to get a card for your wedding gift.
Not now, Tom!
Splendid.
Heading back to America in shame.
I finally know how Madonna felt
after her Guy Ritchie divorce.
I know Eloise said not to come, but
what if I went and stood at a distance?
- Mom.
- No.
The police officer read us
the whole addendum
that stated specifically not to do that.
I know. I know. I know.
- Ollie.
- Eloise is missing.
Apparently, she had some sort of meltdown
at a candle store and then ran away.
I have no idea where she could be.
Really? Taco Bell?
Yep. Her favorite.
Henrique would never let her go to one,
so we went constantly when she visited.
She used to have
all her birthday dinners there.
Wasn't as sad as it sounds.
Would you guys mind if I went in
by myself just for a minute?
Can I have a nacho?
- Eloise, I don't...
- Wait.
Before you talk, I get to talk.
Alice, I'm sorry about last summer.
Paul told me.
About Andrew abandoning you
after the miscarriage.
I promise I had no idea because...
I know, because I didn't tell you.
And I hated you for it,
and it wasn't your fault.
There's a little more to it
than that, though, too.
I...
What, El? What is it?
Shortly before I was going to come,
I found out that
I can't have any children.
Ever.
I tried to get on that plane
to come and see you, but I... I just...
I couldn't.
You know, growing up,
compared to you guys,
I had this kind of half life.
And in my heart, I always thought,
"Well, I'll have a family of my own
someday, and we will be connected."
Truly connected.
And in an instant, that dream was gone.
I'm really sorry.
It wasn't your fault.
No, I should have told you.
Instead, I just tried to make it up to you
by upgrading your room
and trying to get you a job and...
Yeah, but those are nice things.
They're... really nice... things,
and I think I can just be
an ungrateful dummy sometimes.
I haven't even told you the worst part.
Ollie doesn't know.
He doesn't know
that I can't have children, and...
I've been lying to him,
and he thinks I'm perfect.
And I know he won't love me
- once he actually knows me because...
- That's not...
...it's only a matter of time
before Ollie realizes
that all of this is just a show
and that deep down, I'm just Doritos.
Okay, I'm not sure what you mean
about the Doritos part
'cause they are a wonderful snack food
and let's not be rude to them,
but, El, we love you.
Maybe too much.
We put you on a pedestal, and then we all
just feel like such garbage around you
that we act terrible
to get you to reject us,
and I'm only just now realizing
what a fun bunch we are.
Alice, you deserve happiness.
Quit pushing it away.
You first.
You're my big sister.
You have to set a good example.
But you do need to tell Ollie
about the whole kid thing.
Okay.
I can go with you.
If... if you'd like that.
Okay.
Before you go,
can you get me another gordita?
Um, regular or Double Cheesy?
Double Cheesy.
It's my big day.
Ladies and gentlemen,
gays and theys, your bride.
Oh, Eloise.
You've never looked more beautiful.
Thanks, Mum.
I mean, it's just relentlessly unfair
you took all the good genes
and you left us with the scrap.
Well, you did take all the wit.
I'm the only one
with the correct toe lengths.
Why would you throw that in my face
before a wedding?
Well, I'm just pointing it out.
Look at you. Look at you.
Look at all of you.
You're absolutely perfect.
My God.
You're the loves of my life.
I have spent too much time
dwelling on the past
instead of thinking of
all the good that's in front of us.
But no more.
And no more not talking to each other.
Okay? We need each other.
Yes.
No more satellites
drifting around in space.
Come in. Come.
Come, come. Come hug.
Are we allowed to show
this much emotion in the U.K.?
Oh, this is so fun and uncomfortable.
- Mwah.
- I know, but let's just do it for one more minute, okay?
Okay.
- Bonjour!
- Papa.
Uh, hello, Henrique.
Nice to see you again.
Um, I'm... I'm really sorry
that I peed on your shoes
and punched you in the face.
In my defense,
you have been a real jerk to my mother
on several occasions.
I have.
It's true. I'm sorry.
And what you said to me before
is also true, Donna.
Merci.
Now, Eloise, are we ready
to walk down the aisle?
Ooh. Squeeze up.
The Americans are coming. They're coming.
- Oh!
- - Are you okay? Are you all right?
Come on, come on, don't worry...
Nice to see you.
Okay, okay,
please hold it together, hold it together.
Hello?
Yes.
I loved the pot gummies.
Yeah, you were right. Five was too many.
Oh, it was beautiful.
Hi.
Oh. Wow. Hi.
Um, sorry.
That I'm on your plane.
Um, but don't worry.
This time, I'm in coach with
the rest of the riffraff and criminals.
Mm. The rabbit didn't pay for an upgrade?
Um, no, I-I broke up with the rabbit.
Oh, no.
I'm devastated.
Feel like that was sarcastic.
Well, uh, maybe
I'll come visit you back there,
bring my extra dinner roll.
Oh, yeah?
Not for you to eat.
I'm just gonna throw it
directly at your dumb, hot face.
- I deserve that.
- Mm.
Watch out.
Once upon a time,
there was a family again.
80 degrees in December is Los Angeles.
I did warn you, Paul.
How's that wool sweater treating you?
- Well, it doesn't smell great.
- But you look great.
You guys, I'm so glad we're here.
We missed you so much for Thanksgiving.
- You really didn't miss much.
- Excuse me.
Mother, I love you,
but you make a very dry turkey.
Well, that's what gravy's for.
Mom, that's not. It's supposed to be...
- Oh! Please, please.
- Oh!
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.
Hi, little bunny.
I cannot believe how quickly
the adoption went through.
Look at how elegant this baby is.
Like, this is a classy baby.
And I bet she doesn't even poop.
She pooped all over the plane.
We briefly had to touch down in St. Louis.
No, you don't poop.
Give her here. Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Look how perfect she is.
I just know if I have a baby,
it's gonna be one of the sloppy ones.
Nonsense. It'll be a Bottoms.
That's very noble.
Ho, ho, ho.
Ah!
I can't believe you did it.
No beard?
- No, it was itchy. I have a rash.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, everybody,
I've got headbands here.
- Camp. I love it.
- Everybody, grab a headband.
You're so extra, Mom.
I had to be. It's special.
Oh, no, no.
Mom, Mom, can you switch with Alice?
I want to match.
Oh, sweetheart.
- Alice, give me your headband.
- Okay.
Okay, everybody,
try not to sweat
because I am not paying for retouching.
And they didn't live happily ever after
because, I mean, let's face it,
sweetheart, we're all food for worms.
But they visited the mall
and the Putt-Putt and the Taco Bell,
and the world kept on spinning.
This is so nice.
Oh, dear.
Oh, no.
Mom, this is supposed to make you happy.
I am happy.
I am.
Do you want me to start?
Yes. Okay.
And they made the best of it.
Okay, here we go.
Right up until the credits rolled.
"Let the credits roll"
When the lights come on
and they play that song
Saying it's time
to let the curtains close
This ain't a coming-of-age anymore
So let the credits roll
- I watch
- I watch
- A montage
- A montage
Of moments I thought
the world would end
- Cut to
- Cut to
- Part two
- Part two
I realized it was in my head
Brush my hair in the mirror,
maybe I'll dye it blue
Heard the color is dated,
but maybe dated is cool
It's the end of an era,
I put my fist in the air
And then I look in the camera
and tell 'em, "Let the credits roll"
When the lights come on
and they play that song
Sayin' it's time
to let the curtains close
This ain't a coming-of-age anymore
So let the credits roll
When the lights come on
and they play that song
Sayin' it's time
to let the curtains close
This ain't a coming-of-age anymore
I know I've changed
Maybe you should go try it, too
I'm not the same
So don't expect what you're used to
Let the credits roll
When the lights come on
and they play that song
Sayin' it's time
to let the curtains close
This ain't a coming-of-age anymore
So let the credits roll.
