- Who invited your Aunt Brina? Oh, shit.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I meant to tell you that.
Listen, we were just nervous.
Sarah has no friends.
She has no friends.
- That's kind of sad.
- Oh, my God.
Len got all the friends in the divorce, and Tammy has so many people.
So we just, you know, they're Facebook friends, - and it just we wanted to - They're Facebook friends? Yes, they've been playing Bejeweled Blitz for months now.
- What? - What is Bejeweled Bliss? Bejeweled Blitz.
It's a video game with colored diamond jewels that you line up.
There's this weird ass cat with laser eyes in the bonus round.

- Hey.
- Mazel tov on your simcha.
- Mm, thank you.
Thank you.
My God.
Look at you.
Okay.
Look at me.
Listen, uh, just to be clear.
I didn't think Mom could handle this, so that's why I haven't been by to see her.
You didn't see her before all of this.
Is that why you're here, to remind me of that? No, I'm here because Sarah invited me.
- Oh.
- I don't know why she did.
Nor do I, but here you are.
- I'll take my seat.
- Do that.
- Before anybody tries to get it.
- All right.
- Judy.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Mother of the bride.
Thank you.
You look good.
Did you change your hair color? I did a little bit.
Oh, my God, are you sure that he is one of us? He doesn't look like one of us.
You're gonna ask me again? We had the DNA test.
He's Joshy's.
That build comes from Rita's father.
He was a Norwegian shot-putter, apparently.
Whoa.
[mouthing.]
- Hello.
- Oh, my God.

- Swear to God.
- Is it the yarmulke? - Yes.
- Get outta here.
[laughing.]
- Go.
- Okay.
I'll see you up there.
Man: Everyone, please be seated.
The ceremony is about to begin.
Well, was sh she at least cordial to you? No.
Is a lizard cordial? She's a filing cabinet with a hairdo.
I mean, she hated me when I was male, and and, you know, and when she was little, she used to accuse me of wearing her clothes.
Did you? Of course, I did, but Listen, she's gone on record as being anti gay, so I don't know what the fuck she's doing here.
- The free food.
- No, no, no, no.
Not the free food.
Get a gander at this.
- Oh.
- That's why she's here.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh.
Oh.
Look at you.
You okay? - Yeah.
- You look beautiful.
- Thanks.
- Whenever you're ready.
- I have a question.
- Yeah? Did you did you invite Aunt Bri here? Yeah.
- How can you - Why did you do that? Because I don't have any people.
How can you do that to me? - We don't - We're your people.
Huh? I don't understand.
And you're you're Facebook friends? If she's a little anxious today, it's understandable.
I was anxious on my wedding day, too.
I was hopped up on diet pills.
You know what? Brina could have brought Grandma Rose.
That would have been beautiful.
Yes, it would have been beautiful, but Grandma Rose is sick and she's in a wheelchair.
Oh, okay, so she's in a wheelchair.
People in wheelchairs go places.
I was at Disneyland and we were on the Small World ride, and there was a woman with a wheelchair on the ride.
With with an oxygen tank.
I mean, if you love people, you can take them places.
Okay, good.
Well, by all means, let's do what they do at Small World.
[guitar playing Wagner's Lohengren "Bridal Chorus".]
[exhales.]
You took diet pills? - You knew that.
- No, I didn't know that.
That's why the house was so clean.
Is that why you fired Nobby? No, no.
Well, partly, but I just wanted to save us some of the money because I could do it myself.
- All right.
- Sarah.
Thanks, Dad.
