Brothers & Sisters s02e09 Episode Script
Holy Matrimony!
previously on "brothers & sisters" whatever is happening between you and tommy, end it.
You're insinuating he's having an affair.
- Just draw your own conclusion.
- I will.
Can we go back to the way things were? I want to.
I should probably get outta here.
Screw it.
- Let's go out.
- Good.
'Cause I couldn't stand to wait another 40 years.
I let people believe that I was a hero.
I'm not.
Robert doesn't know that he's being blackmailed.
Just because you stop me from telling people doesn't mean it's not the truth.
The senator is a fraud.
Kitty's an old friend.
Not much I wouldn't do for her.
I finally spoke with jason.
I broke up with him.
But I want to be with you.
no, it inot a potluck.
- Did you give the stylist directions? - I just don't want a repeat of the engagement party, - where every family member brought tupperware.
- Probably an updo.
I haven't totally decided.
- But, mom, she really does.
She really has to be there at 1:00.
- Yes, there'll be a caterer.
- Why don't you just come and try to enjoy yourself, okay? - Okay, and, um, I'm gonna be at the house, in a couple of hours.
I love you, too.
Bye.
Okay, well, did you - did you tell your uncle that he's not allowed to bring any food? Yes, I did.
Our wedding is officially artichoke-free.
Oh, well, thank god.
Hey, you don't have to spend the night at your mom'S.
Oh, yes, I do.
It's very bad luck to make mad, passionate love to the groom the night before the wedding.
Yes, because after the wedding, it is all downhill.
I'm gonna stop bringing you flowers.
You're gonna bust out the housecoats, and we're gonna start leaving the bathroom door open - ew! Now stop.
I don't even have any housecoats.
Good.
Okay, let's see.
all right, well, I guess I'm ready.
this is okay.
Okay, well I love you.
And, um, I just- I want our lives to be just- hey, why don't you save this for our vows? Vows? Come on, robert.
Now we already decided We are going the traditional route.
I've done the whole traditional wedding vow thing.
I want something different.
You already wrote your vows, didn't you? Yeah, a little bit.
But listen, if it's too last-minute, you know it's-no, well, yes, it is.
It is short notice.
Come on.
You've written entire speeches in 30 minutes.
Yeah, but that's different.
That-that'S okay.
I guess you'll just have to inspire me.
Why are you so quiet? Well, because I'm about to go to a crazy walker wedding madhouse, so I'm enjoying the silence while I can.
Oh, it'll go off without a hitch.
You haven't been to one of my family events, have you? At the walker landing opening, my mom and holly literally pummeled each other with leftovers.
Are you serious? I mean, could I make that up? The only one that wod ever keep us in line was my dad.
He even kept me sober at tommy's wedding.
Why am I even talking about him? Because weddings make you think about the people that you miss.
Yeah, but he cheated on my mom, and he lied to us.
I mean, you know, what - wh kind of man does that? All types, even some good guys.
You know, last time I saw him alive, uh, I was high.
That sucks.
Justin, I'm sure your dad loved you.
And I know how awful it is, you know, being stuck trying to make sense of it all on your own.
Was that what it was like with the married guy? Well, not that it compares or anything, but yeah.
I mean, he pretty much just said that that was it, and, you know, that was it.
Do you want to come to the wedding with me? To tell you the truth, I never thought this was gonna happen.
I know.
I always thought it'd be me and kitty in the old folks home, sniping at each other and talking about how we screwed up all our relationships.
Well, too bad for you.
And you owe me 100 bucks.
Not until she pulls the trigger, meaning I do.
Wait a minute.
Are you telling me that you bet on whether kitty would get married? And when.
I took between 30 and 40.
Kev bet never.
Oh, come on.
I can't believe how cynical you are.
Listen, I ver your debt, you pick your grandmother up at the airport.
Even if you added a couple of zeroes, I'd still say no.
It's your grandmother! I know! so, tommy, tell me, how are you and julia getting along? Good.
I mean, you know, working on it.
All right, I got the monkey suits.
What took you so long? I had to go to the bank.
I have your $100.
Pay up.
What age did you pick, justin? Oh, you know what?The shirts and ties are still in the, uh, car.
Oh, you know what?I'm, uh, I'm bringing lena to the wedding.
I hope that's not a problem with the whole R.
S.
V.
P.
Thing.
You're taking lena to the wedding? Is there a problem? No, it's fine.
So what's with the look? Just not sure how seriously you're taking your sobriety, that's all.
I'm going to meetings every day.
I'd say that's pretty serious.
Well, I hear her on the phone, justin.
She's a partier.
thanks for the concern, bro.
I'm going with him.
what are you doing? What am i doing? What is she doing? Who knows?Who cares? The only people who know you slept with her are me and saul.
Don't start acting weird now.
Okay? Not yet, still steadfast, still unchangeable, pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast, to feel for ever its soft fall and swell.
Sarah, I don't want the guests thinking about my boobs and their ripeness, and-and plus, not to mention, robert would rather me quote from "the weekly standard" than-than-than what is that, keats? I love keats.
Okay, what about this? Our love Is like the war - out of control, endless, without reason.
You know what, sarah?This is not the time for funny, okay? How about this? "Robert, I promise you my deepest loyalty, my tenderest care and my lifelong fidelity.
Sounds nothing like you.
Well, it's not.
I found it online.
I just put in the "robert" part.
So has mom had the talk with you? What talk? The talk.
Oh, trust me.
She's gonna sit you down and go on and on and on about love and devotion until you're both weepG.
You might get some inspiration from that.
Okay, so, um, the seating arrangements are set.
The flowers, caterers, officiant are confirmed.
The secret service has already coordinated with private security, so I-I don't think there's anything major left.
Except robert just asked kitty to write her vows.
Okay, how about this? robert, I hate your guts for making me do this.
it's your hairdresser.
Did you make a decision, up or down? Uh, I-I don't know.
You know what? You-you guys pick.
- I say down.
- Down.
Up!Up.
uh, we're going with up.
oh, wow.
Mom, thank you.
Those look great.
Thank you for doing that.
Where are all the, uh, the - the poetry books? Um, they're the third shelf up from the bottom.
Kitty? Can I talk to you? What's up? Oh, sweetie, here u go.
I know how easy it is with weddings, to get swept up with the tradition and the dress and the music and the rice and- - well, birdseed.
- Birdseed?Go on.
Tomorrow you're gonna put that beautiful dress on and walk down the aisle to robert, who is so handsome and powerful - my god, he could be president one day - and you're going to commit the rest of your life to him.
And before you know it, you will have completely forgotten who you are and what you stand for.
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm sorry.
What did you say? Maybe I didn't say that right.
Sweetie, listen.
Marriage is not easy.
And then you'll have kids and lose yourself completely.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, mom.
Sarah told me that you were gonna give me a gushy speech that would make me cry, and wh-wh-what is this that I'm getting? Maybe back then I was giving the warm and wonderful marriage speech.
I am wiser now, and I have some things to say to you.
I'm not gonna lie.
Please lie.
Please lie.
I would prefer you to lie.
- I nt you to protect the woman that you are, kitty.
- What? I've seen you struggle with robert's career and his ambition.
I don't want you to let him hold you back! No, I can't hear you.
Kitty, kitty, stop acting like a child.
Well, start acting like my mother.
Mom, I am getting married tomorrow.
I am-I am really, really nervous.
I have to write my vows, a nd I don't need you to give me cold feet.
I have some things I want to say to you.
I know, but shh!I need- silence is golden.
I- I-I- shh, shh, shh! I didn't say that right.
Hey, isaac.
What, calling to congratulate me? Congratulations, but I'm calling about robert's service in the gulf.
Any discrepancies regarding his alleged heroic acts? Alleged? I've been hearing rumors, uh, from folks in a position to publish those rumors.
No, no, no.
Wait a minute.
That issue, I thought I shut it down.
I mean, I handled it personally.
Robert had no idea.
Oh, isaac.
Isaac, something- something like that could sabotage his- his whole run, not to mention my marriage.
I-I- I'm on my way to L.
A.
Consider it my wedding gift.
Brothers and Sisters Season 2 Episode 9 So you must be happy with all the photographers outside.
Are you kidding me?You can't pay for that kind of publicity.
So, um, you guys back together? You know, we're-we're just in the process of, you know, becoming a "we" depending on what your definition of "we" is.
- He's such a romantic.
- It's not that.
I knew I'd find you guys by the wine.
So this is the famous lena.
I mean, uh, justin talks about you all the time.
You do? Yeah, of course I do.
Of course.
Look at you.
Lena, hi.
Tommy's not making you work, is he? Oh, no, no.
She's, uh, she's with me.
h's kitty? Well, she's finally getting her hair done, but now she's obsessed with us finding some old friend of hers-isaac.
She's kinda freakin' out.
You're so not seeing that 100.
Oh, please.
Maybe mom could chill her out.
No.
Kitty ordered us not to let your mom within 50 feet of her until right before they walk down the aisle.
Good luck with that.
All right, I should probably keep looking for this isaac guy.
- See you.
- Good luck.
Here's to not being a bridesmaid.
Cin cin.
Kitty, hey, sorry.
Um, where's the hairstylist? Oh, um, you know, she - she was chatty and annoying and distracting, and you know what?I've - I've mastered pin curls.
Oh, good.
Um, okay.
Well, shouldn't the makeup artist at least be here? Oh, yeah, well, he came by, but you know what? I've been doing my makeup since puberty, and-and outside of the purple eye shadow phase, I-I do fine.
Oh, great.
Well-well, I'm sure you'll look stunning.
But how are you doing on the vows? - Are they coming along? - I'm-I'm winging it.
You know what?Robert said they came to him, so they're-they're- they're gonna come to me eventually.
Okay, um - isaac, isaac!Oh, you're here! Hi, I'm sorry.
My plane got detoured.
Snowstorms in the midwest.
Whatever.
You're here.
Thank you.
I'm so-I'm so happy.
Do- do you mind if we take a minute? Uh, yes.
Uh, uh, kitty I have to tell you, though, um, you know, you're- you're running out of- time.
Time.
I'll-I'll be ready.
Tell everybody that I'll be ready.
How bad is it? You could use some lipstick.
all right.
Why don't- why don't you talk while I- while I get ready? you want to get that? oh, god, no.
Kitty, I know you're angry at me.
Please.
We have to talk before you walk down the aisle.
Oh, darn it.
I still can't believe we're at some big shot republican's wedding.
Man!Times change.
Stan, now this is my daughter's wedding.
There'll be no politics today.
Sure.
-Okay.
I bet you could feed a small african country for what this shindig cost.
nora.
Saul, where's mother? She's stuck in denver because of the snow.
No ida?That's a shame.
Not really.
Stan, it's saul.
Oh, saul, how are you? - Yeah, good to see you.
Why don't you two catch up?I've gotta find kitty.
Stan the hippie.
oh, well, that's a long time ago.
So the copilot wanted robert to land the chopper, and robert thought it was too dangerous to go down.
How long did they argue? Well, about 25 seconds.
For 25 seconds they hovered under fire? And then they were hit.
Copilot died in the crash landing.
But once robert was on the ground, he saved those men.
Okaylf it was up to him yeah, they would've left.
That's why daniel cole came out of the woodwork.
He said that he heard the whole thing from the control tower and that he could prove that robert wasn't the hero that everybody thinks he is.
So you and kevin blackmailed him.
Yes, we blackmailed him.
I would have done the same thing.
You missed one.
Thank you.
What do you think?Is there any way to spin it? Better to find the leak.
If it turns out to be cole, shut him down again.
I'll make some calls, see what I can do.
Oh, god, isaac.
You know that robert doesn't know anything about this? Now how am I supposed to go down the aisle, look him in the eye and vow to do - I don't - I don't even know what I'm vowing.
I kitty walker, open this door! Hey, you get married.
Leave this to me.
All right.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm serious.
I will kick it down! No sense in ruining your shoes.
I'm sorry.
Lena.
Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?Where's justin? Something happen? No, not really.
It's just st so strange seeing tommy here and all the high-powered guests and the secret service agents just everywhere.
Wh-what would be weird about seeing tommy? Oh, nothing.
I - I just work for him.
So it's weird.
Lena, please tell me that tommy isn't the married man.
Oh, my god.
Are you kidding? Like, what are you doing? So justin is just sarah wants us, now.
Okay, um oh, my god.
Oh, no.
Not this putz.
Hey, everyone, uncle jack.
I can call you that, right, now that we're almost family? Uh, I don't think so.
Uh, no.
Come on, troops, let's go find, uh, our spots.
Let's go find our places.
Come on, kids.
That was unpleasant.
So just, uh just be good to kitty.
Better than you were to my brother? That's unfair.
He is half a world away trying to make a difference with his life.
He is all alone, and you du him.
Now it's none of my business, so I'm just gonna get through this.
I'm gonna be cordial, and that's what we should do for kitty's sake.
Of course.
My tie is itch you can take it off after the ceremony, okay? oh, my god.
oh, my god, kitty.
Aunt kitty, you look so beautiful.
Oh, honey, so do you.
You guys look great.
- Oh, god, what do you think? Do you think my hair's too curly? - No.
Should I wear it down? -It's beautiful.
It suits the dress perfectly.
Okay.
Turn around.
What is it, kitty?Are you okay? Just wishing dad was here.
Oh, I know.
It's not fair, is it? Oh, god.
I can't believe my baby sister is finally getting married.
I can't believe it either.
I really-I get- you know, I-I never wrote my vows.
I don't know what I'm gonna say.
You'll just stand up there and be honest.
Okay?You're gonna be great.
I promise.
- Flowers.
- Thanks.
I'm gonna tell them we're ready.
isn't she ready yet?It's time.
-oh, here she is.
Oh, kitty, you look so wonderful.
All right, they start with you, sweetie.
Kitty, please, please, let me talk to you.
Mom, mom, mom, we'll talk later.
Look, I-you didn't let me finish what I was saying the other day okay, the music's starting.
Okay, julia, go.
And I can't let you get married - becca, you're up.
You're up.
Mom, we'll talk later.
It's not a good time.
I can't let you get married until you hear what I have to say.
sarah, go.
You're up.
-go, sarah, go.
- Look, kitty, I know what I'm gonna say.
I'll talk fast.
- Okay, mom.
Come on, we have to go.
you have been my child, my challenge, my support, my best friend.
Mom you're gonna make me cry.
Well, maybe you should cry - or laugh or do whatever your heart tells you to.
I know how hard you've worked to find someon to love who would really see you and love you back.
Kitty, you're incapable of losing yourself.
You're not me.
You know yourself better than I ever have.
And I'm so proud to be your mother.
Is everything okay? yeah.
We're gathered here to join robert alexander mccallister and katherine ann walker in matrimony.
Who gives this woman to be married? She gives herself freely , with my love and my blessing.
mom? You can let go now.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
where's stan? -I don't know.
robert and kitty initially chose to recite traditional vows.
But anyone that knows this couple knows they are not traditional.
So I wasn't surprised when they opted to write their own.
Kitty? no.
Do-uh do you think maybe that you could go first? Of course.
KittY I ask you to marry me.
To say "I love you" seems inadequate, because I cannot imagine my life without you.
Because when I'm cynical, you give me hope.
In times where I felt I was losing my way, you've been my guidepost.
I love you more with each passing day.
And so I give you my hand, my heart and my love.
xxxxxxxxx kitty, your turn.
robert, I need to talk to you.
What? Alone.
Right now? -right now.
I need to talk to you alone.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm-I'm sorry.
we'll be right back.
I d't know.
here.
thank you.
Kitty what is going on? I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, robert, but I ju-I just couldn't go through with it.
I couldn't vow to love you and - and honor you and all that stuff without without telling you the truth.
Kitty, what are you talking about? I blackmailed someone.
First the brother dumps jason, and now this.
We don't deserve this.
What did we ever do to this family? We need drinks out there immediately.
Uh, we weren't prepared to serve at the wedding itself.
Well, improvise.
Maybe she finally came to her senses.
Kevin.
You know kitty.
Maybe she, uh got nothing.
If this has anything to do with what I said to her yesterday - why didn't I just keep my big mouth closed? Come on, mother.
She doesn't pay attention to anything we say anyway.
But if I had anything to do with this look, whatever is happening between kitty and robert, we just have to let them figure it out.
Let's get another.
Waiter? I don't understand the issue.
You were doing your job.
Kevin and I should have told you what we did, but I I guess I just wanted to protect you.
But I just couldn't marry you with this big secret.
It just- kitty, I know that there are no guarantees in this world.
We could wake up tomorrow, and could all go to hell.
But whatever happens, good or bad, I want you with me.
Okay? Okay.
Come on.
Let's go do this.
Robert, I-I don't even kn where to start , because you are so many things to me.
You're this-this brilliant, poised diplomat and then you're this-this really crazy romantic that just takes my breath away.
And when you're tired, and when you're stressed, you - you get really grumpy.
but then I can feel your head on my shoulder at night, and I and I know you're asleep.
And you're so peaceful, and you're so you're so vulnerable.
I love all those parts so much that I want to have you as my partner for the rest of my life.
Sick, healthy, rich, poor - as long as I'm with you, I I will be complete.
and that's it.
oh, um, one more thing, robert.
Will you be my husband? Yes.
Yes, I'll be your husband.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx robert I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The good thing for us is that cole is not giving any details until he's offered some serious cash.
Excuse me.
Would anyone mind explaining to me why I'm just learning about this now? I learned about it during my vows.
Isaac, there is no legitimate media source that is gonna go public with this story on his word alone.
They have to have substantiated proof, right? Well, he claims he has it.
He says that he has copies of the flight traffic reports and the communication logs from that day.
Yeah, but why now? Is he waiting for the worst possible moment? Well, I don't know.
Maybe he's bluffing.
Either way, the next move is we go to the news outlets with the truth.
The truth? Well, our opponents are gonna have a field day with that.
You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna swift boat him.
No, the truth about cole- that he's a perjurer, a blackmailer, a felon and a deadbeat dad, and anybody who goes with the story is gonna be dragged up to the hill for a hearing, period.
Exactly.
All right.
Let's do it.
Isaac, thank you.
Kitty and I should spend some time with the guests.
this fish is undercooked.
It's tuna tartare.
It's raw.
Thanks for telling me.
any chance I can take another picture? No, you only get one.
I can't believe the entire mccallister clan are giving me the cold shoulder.
I mean, what did jason tell them? No idea.
Oh, god, look what your mom's date wrote- "stop the erosion of civil rights.
Peace and love.
Stan.
" You know, I'm done justifying this breakup.
Then don'T.
Well-well, why am i the bad guy, you know? I didn't set out to hurt jason.
What-and, you know, I'm not the only one to blame here.
In fact, he's - okay, done.
Stop.
I'm not here as a friend to listen to you endlessly go on about your ex-boyfriend, because however you define what we are, we're not platonic anymore, and that fact that you're willing to obsess over jason- I'm not obsessed.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'm gonna take a walk.
Thank you.
Have you seen any nice men in my age range? Some of the secret service guys are hot.
Yeah, yeah, they're hot, but they're so cold.
Well, I have driven another man away.
I'd love to commiserate, but cooper's throwing hors d'oeuvres in the pool.
Cooper! You look about as happy as I do, which is not.
You know how you guys tell each other everything in this family, even if you shouldn't? Our family's curse and blessing.
What about it? is there anything that you won't tell each other, that's just completely off-limits? I probably wouldn't tell kitty I'd like to murder her husband.
And it wouldn't be that difficult getting my hands on a shotgun, thanks to him and his ilk.
Thanks, kevin.
You're welcome.
For what, I have no idea.
Champagne, please.
Excuse me.
Would you come with us, please? We'd like to ask you a few questions.
Hey, um, do you think we could go somewhere to talk? Is everything all right? No, not really.
Nora? Isaac marshall.
Yes, of course.
And may I say, you look as beautiful as the bride.
Well, thank you.
How are you? Not bad.
And you? I'm fine, but I seem to have lost my date.
I wonder where holly harper is? In that case, would you like to have a glass of champagne with me? Well, I'd love to.
Thank you.
So what was so important it can't wait? I can't believe you would do this.
Do what? You slept with lena, tommy.
I know.
Look, it was stupid.
Don't you think I realize that? Oh, you do?So what, you're off the hook now? You of all people shouldn't judge, really.
WowYou are seriously an ass.
You're cheating on your wife, and your baby's, what, 6 months old? And-and somehow you manage to be self-righteous? It was a mistake.
God.
You know what? You're always trying to be like dad.
But you know what? Even he had enough sense not to screw his secretary! Will you just shut up and let me explain? You want to explain something? How about you explain to your wife that you cheated on her the second she left town? This is none of your business, all right? - Get off me, tommy! This is none of your business! - Get off me! Gentlemen? Yo, this is ridiculous.
Like, we're-we're brothers.
We weren't fighting.
We'll talk to the senator.
I own this place, all right? You cannot keep me here - save your breath.
Apparently, the feds can detain us indefinitely.
Thank you, neocons.
Why are you two here? Oh, 'cause justin's apparently the self-appointed judge of the family.
You know what? And tommy's a hypocrite and liar, so don'T.
Oh, you found out about lena? Wait a second.
You know about lena? How do you kw about lena? If it's any consolation, I wish i didn't know.
I wish so many things right now.
So, uh, what did you do? Assassination threat on mccallister.
What? I didn't mean it.
I was just being me.
You know what?I hate my life right now.
Wow, this is the worst wedding in history.
You didn't happen to bring any of those, um, appetizers with you, did you? Yeah, I've got a shrimp cocktail in my pocket.
What is wrong with you? He's got the munchies.
oh, great.
Aren't you glad that I took dance lessons? My feet thank you.
do you realize that this is the first time that we've had a moment alone - uh, we have a little situation.
What? you haven't seen justin, have you? No.
And you should know that I told justin about you and tommy.
What? I'm sorry, but justin's been through enough.
He doesn't deserve to get hurt.
You know what?In case you've forgotten, you used to sleep with a married guy, too.
But what, now since you've hit the paternity jackpot, you can act as if you're better than me? I was 16, and I screwed up.
But knowing you, dating justin is just some calculated way to get tommy back, and I'm sorry, but it is spiteful, and it is stupid.
You know what?If I didn't know that you two were related, I'd think you were jealous.
He's my brother.
I'm just trying to protect him.
From what? God, why did i think that there would be any available men at this wedding? I just had a 20-minute conversation about- get it-quail hunting.
Will you tell justin that I went home? He can call me if he wants.
What did I just walk into? Nothing.
I'm sorry.
Ah, thank you.
You look lonely.
I am lonely.
Look at all these couples.
I don't care how old you are, it is tough being single at a wedding.
Right.
You can't help but think about all the chances that you missed or what it would have been like to have found that person.
Do you ever think maybe we ended things too soon? I like you, saul.
But one thing I know is men.
And when we were together, I knew that you weren't that interested in me.
Oh, you tried eh, I guess you're right.
It is my fault.
Why are you being so hard on yourself? It is not easy finding the right person the right time.
I was in love with a man I could never have.
I didn't mean to be.
I just was.
You can't help who you love, saul.
Cheers, holly.
Cheers.
Brothers-in-law stan.
All right, let these guys out.
Yes, free us, please.
Any chance I can get my pipe back? The uniformed officer in the hallway is holding your pipe.
Thank you, mr.
America.
So is, uh, kitty gonna disown us or what? No, she doesn't know anything about thiS.
I think we should probably keep it that way.
All right.
Thanks.
You know, I was surprised to hear that you went out on a limb for my campaign.
Kitty told me what you did last year to help with daniel cole.
Yeah, well, I actually did that for kitty.
But just so that you know, I care a lot about jason, and if things had worked out differently between us actually, we still wouldn't have been able to get married in this country.
You're not ever gonna stop holding that against me, are you? No, but I will stop threatening your life.
Sounds like we're making some progress.
My oldest-paul-um, he married a woman from a hindu family.
Paul is your oldest? How many children do you have? Can't believe I gotta pay a fine.
Stan, where have you been? I've been looking all over for-oh, sorry.
Stan, isaac.
Isaac, stan.
Hi, isaac.
How's it going? What fine do you have to pay? All I did was smoke a bowl, and suddenly it's - it's like freakin' waco! You were smoking pot at my daughter's wedding? Just to unwind.
Are you out of your mind? Robert's running for president.
The media is right outside.
What were you thinking? Okay.
Nora, I'm going home.
Stan, you're not leaving? Look, uh, I appreciate you looking me up.
It was really amazing seeing you again.
But, uh, it's just not gonna work.
I'm-I'm sorry.
Did I just get dumped at my daughter's wedding reception? Seems to me like you did.
excuse me.
Thanks.
So what was travis on about? Yeah, it was nothing.
Good, 'cause I think I would crumble into a million little pieces if there was another crisis.
No, you wouldn'T.
You think you would, but you wouldn'T.
I know you betteR.
How do you feel about starting the honeymoon early? But we haven't cut the cake.
Don't care.
You haven't thrown your bouquet.
Still not caring.
What about your garter? I think maybe I'll just save that for you.
Now how could i say no to that? You caT.
I'll be right back.
Mom?Sorry, isaac.
Can I talk to you for a second? Yes.
Excuse me.
Is something wrong? - No.
No.
No.
No.
Everything is perfect, but, well, robert and i just thought maybe we could get some time - alone, out of the hoopla.
Yeah, I'm getting a little tired of the hoopla.
Well, go.
Start your honeymoon.
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
can you believe it? No well, tell everybody I said good-bye, and and thanks.
Oh, I can't believe I made it through that entire wedding sober.
you were in lockdown.
Yeah, with stan.
It was like a new, special kind of torture.
Yeah, nd of like being stuck talking to a bunch of relatives you don't know.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Look, I was-I was the worst date today.
Uh, "date" implies you actually see the person.
I know.
I just-you know, I didn't know jason's family were gonna get to me like that.
Get to you? You were making death threats.
Oh, c-yeah, come-yeah, do I look like an assassin? You can't get mad at me for being upset at a bunch of people I don't even know acting like I'm - I'm the "gay guy" who doesn't know how to commit.
Then why did you stand there telling everyone we're still trying to define the word "we"? Because you said you wanted to take things slow, scotty.
You're not over him, kev.
At least, that's what it feels like to me.
Okay, maybe I'm not over jason completely, but I am getting there.
Scotty, I want to be with you.
Me, too.
But sometimes just because you want something doest mean it's possible.
two down.
Thank you so much for helping me get them home.
Oh, you're welcome.
Is paige asleep? Yeah, as soon as her head hit the pillow.
It took some convincing to get her to take the dress off.
oh, what a day, huh? I know.
Sarah, can I ask you kind of a random question? Sure.
Can you get that? Why did you tell me the truth about who my father is? I mean you could have just not said anything.
well, at the time, I told myself it was because you had a right to know.
It was gonna come out anyway.
But you want to know the god's honest truth? I did it to spite your mother.
I figured.
I think that's why I kissed joe to get back at you.
So why are we having this trip down bad memory lane? I'm sorry.
I honestly, I-I told justin something really awful about lena.
What? You don't want to know.
Oh, come on, I do.
I do.
-You really, really don't want to know.
You can't drop a big clanger like that and then go all clammy on me.
I'm your sister.
Come on, I love salacious gossip.
Okay.
lena was sleeping with tommy.
Our tommy? Oh, god.
And you know how many republicans voted to pass the 13th amendment abolishing slavery? how many? All of them.
Every single one.
well, I would agree with you if this were the 19th century.
But you have to agree the democrats do more for jobs and education today.
That depends on what you mean by "more.
gee.
it never stops.
-Yes.
hello? okay, thanks.
Bye.
something wrong? Robert's campaign is about to take a serious hit.
Why? There was a story brewing calling into question his military service.
I thought I killed it.
Turns out the "drudge report" is running with it.
Oh, my god.
I should call robert and have him brace himself.
Isaac can they do anything about it tonight? Not much, I'm afraid.
It's their wedding night.
At least give them that.
Just keep your eyes closed.
Come on.
No cheating.
-I'm not cheating.
What did you-what did you do?Did you get me a pup- you'll see.
Not yet.
Not yet.
Not yet.
Okay, open 'em.
oh, my god.
I wanted to start the honeymoon early since we only have 36 hours.
Oh, robert, it's beautiful.
Oh, god, I wish hawaii had more electoral votes.
No, no, we're not even gonna discuss the campaign.
Okay? Oh, my feet.
Wait a minute.
What are you doing?What about the crew? The crew is under strict instructions not to even come in to this compartment.
Thanks.
Nice place.
David? Holly.
So I was reading about this wedding in the newspaper, and I see your name, and I think, holly harper - how the hell did she end up owning a winery? Why didn't you just call? Why not stop by and see you in person? You look, um, amazing.
Thanks.
You look - like crap.
I know.
to tell you the truth, I didn't even know if it'd be you.
Holly harper I knew used to be an actress.
She's not that anymore.
Yeah, I can see that.
This is, uh, this is quite an operation.
It's very impressive.
You can't expect me to believe that you came here this late at night after that many years to find out if'm still in show business.
Who's this? That's rebecca.
why don't you tell me why you're really here?
You're insinuating he's having an affair.
- Just draw your own conclusion.
- I will.
Can we go back to the way things were? I want to.
I should probably get outta here.
Screw it.
- Let's go out.
- Good.
'Cause I couldn't stand to wait another 40 years.
I let people believe that I was a hero.
I'm not.
Robert doesn't know that he's being blackmailed.
Just because you stop me from telling people doesn't mean it's not the truth.
The senator is a fraud.
Kitty's an old friend.
Not much I wouldn't do for her.
I finally spoke with jason.
I broke up with him.
But I want to be with you.
no, it inot a potluck.
- Did you give the stylist directions? - I just don't want a repeat of the engagement party, - where every family member brought tupperware.
- Probably an updo.
I haven't totally decided.
- But, mom, she really does.
She really has to be there at 1:00.
- Yes, there'll be a caterer.
- Why don't you just come and try to enjoy yourself, okay? - Okay, and, um, I'm gonna be at the house, in a couple of hours.
I love you, too.
Bye.
Okay, well, did you - did you tell your uncle that he's not allowed to bring any food? Yes, I did.
Our wedding is officially artichoke-free.
Oh, well, thank god.
Hey, you don't have to spend the night at your mom'S.
Oh, yes, I do.
It's very bad luck to make mad, passionate love to the groom the night before the wedding.
Yes, because after the wedding, it is all downhill.
I'm gonna stop bringing you flowers.
You're gonna bust out the housecoats, and we're gonna start leaving the bathroom door open - ew! Now stop.
I don't even have any housecoats.
Good.
Okay, let's see.
all right, well, I guess I'm ready.
this is okay.
Okay, well I love you.
And, um, I just- I want our lives to be just- hey, why don't you save this for our vows? Vows? Come on, robert.
Now we already decided We are going the traditional route.
I've done the whole traditional wedding vow thing.
I want something different.
You already wrote your vows, didn't you? Yeah, a little bit.
But listen, if it's too last-minute, you know it's-no, well, yes, it is.
It is short notice.
Come on.
You've written entire speeches in 30 minutes.
Yeah, but that's different.
That-that'S okay.
I guess you'll just have to inspire me.
Why are you so quiet? Well, because I'm about to go to a crazy walker wedding madhouse, so I'm enjoying the silence while I can.
Oh, it'll go off without a hitch.
You haven't been to one of my family events, have you? At the walker landing opening, my mom and holly literally pummeled each other with leftovers.
Are you serious? I mean, could I make that up? The only one that wod ever keep us in line was my dad.
He even kept me sober at tommy's wedding.
Why am I even talking about him? Because weddings make you think about the people that you miss.
Yeah, but he cheated on my mom, and he lied to us.
I mean, you know, what - wh kind of man does that? All types, even some good guys.
You know, last time I saw him alive, uh, I was high.
That sucks.
Justin, I'm sure your dad loved you.
And I know how awful it is, you know, being stuck trying to make sense of it all on your own.
Was that what it was like with the married guy? Well, not that it compares or anything, but yeah.
I mean, he pretty much just said that that was it, and, you know, that was it.
Do you want to come to the wedding with me? To tell you the truth, I never thought this was gonna happen.
I know.
I always thought it'd be me and kitty in the old folks home, sniping at each other and talking about how we screwed up all our relationships.
Well, too bad for you.
And you owe me 100 bucks.
Not until she pulls the trigger, meaning I do.
Wait a minute.
Are you telling me that you bet on whether kitty would get married? And when.
I took between 30 and 40.
Kev bet never.
Oh, come on.
I can't believe how cynical you are.
Listen, I ver your debt, you pick your grandmother up at the airport.
Even if you added a couple of zeroes, I'd still say no.
It's your grandmother! I know! so, tommy, tell me, how are you and julia getting along? Good.
I mean, you know, working on it.
All right, I got the monkey suits.
What took you so long? I had to go to the bank.
I have your $100.
Pay up.
What age did you pick, justin? Oh, you know what?The shirts and ties are still in the, uh, car.
Oh, you know what?I'm, uh, I'm bringing lena to the wedding.
I hope that's not a problem with the whole R.
S.
V.
P.
Thing.
You're taking lena to the wedding? Is there a problem? No, it's fine.
So what's with the look? Just not sure how seriously you're taking your sobriety, that's all.
I'm going to meetings every day.
I'd say that's pretty serious.
Well, I hear her on the phone, justin.
She's a partier.
thanks for the concern, bro.
I'm going with him.
what are you doing? What am i doing? What is she doing? Who knows?Who cares? The only people who know you slept with her are me and saul.
Don't start acting weird now.
Okay? Not yet, still steadfast, still unchangeable, pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast, to feel for ever its soft fall and swell.
Sarah, I don't want the guests thinking about my boobs and their ripeness, and-and plus, not to mention, robert would rather me quote from "the weekly standard" than-than-than what is that, keats? I love keats.
Okay, what about this? Our love Is like the war - out of control, endless, without reason.
You know what, sarah?This is not the time for funny, okay? How about this? "Robert, I promise you my deepest loyalty, my tenderest care and my lifelong fidelity.
Sounds nothing like you.
Well, it's not.
I found it online.
I just put in the "robert" part.
So has mom had the talk with you? What talk? The talk.
Oh, trust me.
She's gonna sit you down and go on and on and on about love and devotion until you're both weepG.
You might get some inspiration from that.
Okay, so, um, the seating arrangements are set.
The flowers, caterers, officiant are confirmed.
The secret service has already coordinated with private security, so I-I don't think there's anything major left.
Except robert just asked kitty to write her vows.
Okay, how about this? robert, I hate your guts for making me do this.
it's your hairdresser.
Did you make a decision, up or down? Uh, I-I don't know.
You know what? You-you guys pick.
- I say down.
- Down.
Up!Up.
uh, we're going with up.
oh, wow.
Mom, thank you.
Those look great.
Thank you for doing that.
Where are all the, uh, the - the poetry books? Um, they're the third shelf up from the bottom.
Kitty? Can I talk to you? What's up? Oh, sweetie, here u go.
I know how easy it is with weddings, to get swept up with the tradition and the dress and the music and the rice and- - well, birdseed.
- Birdseed?Go on.
Tomorrow you're gonna put that beautiful dress on and walk down the aisle to robert, who is so handsome and powerful - my god, he could be president one day - and you're going to commit the rest of your life to him.
And before you know it, you will have completely forgotten who you are and what you stand for.
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm sorry.
What did you say? Maybe I didn't say that right.
Sweetie, listen.
Marriage is not easy.
And then you'll have kids and lose yourself completely.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, mom.
Sarah told me that you were gonna give me a gushy speech that would make me cry, and wh-wh-what is this that I'm getting? Maybe back then I was giving the warm and wonderful marriage speech.
I am wiser now, and I have some things to say to you.
I'm not gonna lie.
Please lie.
Please lie.
I would prefer you to lie.
- I nt you to protect the woman that you are, kitty.
- What? I've seen you struggle with robert's career and his ambition.
I don't want you to let him hold you back! No, I can't hear you.
Kitty, kitty, stop acting like a child.
Well, start acting like my mother.
Mom, I am getting married tomorrow.
I am-I am really, really nervous.
I have to write my vows, a nd I don't need you to give me cold feet.
I have some things I want to say to you.
I know, but shh!I need- silence is golden.
I- I-I- shh, shh, shh! I didn't say that right.
Hey, isaac.
What, calling to congratulate me? Congratulations, but I'm calling about robert's service in the gulf.
Any discrepancies regarding his alleged heroic acts? Alleged? I've been hearing rumors, uh, from folks in a position to publish those rumors.
No, no, no.
Wait a minute.
That issue, I thought I shut it down.
I mean, I handled it personally.
Robert had no idea.
Oh, isaac.
Isaac, something- something like that could sabotage his- his whole run, not to mention my marriage.
I-I- I'm on my way to L.
A.
Consider it my wedding gift.
Brothers and Sisters Season 2 Episode 9 So you must be happy with all the photographers outside.
Are you kidding me?You can't pay for that kind of publicity.
So, um, you guys back together? You know, we're-we're just in the process of, you know, becoming a "we" depending on what your definition of "we" is.
- He's such a romantic.
- It's not that.
I knew I'd find you guys by the wine.
So this is the famous lena.
I mean, uh, justin talks about you all the time.
You do? Yeah, of course I do.
Of course.
Look at you.
Lena, hi.
Tommy's not making you work, is he? Oh, no, no.
She's, uh, she's with me.
h's kitty? Well, she's finally getting her hair done, but now she's obsessed with us finding some old friend of hers-isaac.
She's kinda freakin' out.
You're so not seeing that 100.
Oh, please.
Maybe mom could chill her out.
No.
Kitty ordered us not to let your mom within 50 feet of her until right before they walk down the aisle.
Good luck with that.
All right, I should probably keep looking for this isaac guy.
- See you.
- Good luck.
Here's to not being a bridesmaid.
Cin cin.
Kitty, hey, sorry.
Um, where's the hairstylist? Oh, um, you know, she - she was chatty and annoying and distracting, and you know what?I've - I've mastered pin curls.
Oh, good.
Um, okay.
Well, shouldn't the makeup artist at least be here? Oh, yeah, well, he came by, but you know what? I've been doing my makeup since puberty, and-and outside of the purple eye shadow phase, I-I do fine.
Oh, great.
Well-well, I'm sure you'll look stunning.
But how are you doing on the vows? - Are they coming along? - I'm-I'm winging it.
You know what?Robert said they came to him, so they're-they're- they're gonna come to me eventually.
Okay, um - isaac, isaac!Oh, you're here! Hi, I'm sorry.
My plane got detoured.
Snowstorms in the midwest.
Whatever.
You're here.
Thank you.
I'm so-I'm so happy.
Do- do you mind if we take a minute? Uh, yes.
Uh, uh, kitty I have to tell you, though, um, you know, you're- you're running out of- time.
Time.
I'll-I'll be ready.
Tell everybody that I'll be ready.
How bad is it? You could use some lipstick.
all right.
Why don't- why don't you talk while I- while I get ready? you want to get that? oh, god, no.
Kitty, I know you're angry at me.
Please.
We have to talk before you walk down the aisle.
Oh, darn it.
I still can't believe we're at some big shot republican's wedding.
Man!Times change.
Stan, now this is my daughter's wedding.
There'll be no politics today.
Sure.
-Okay.
I bet you could feed a small african country for what this shindig cost.
nora.
Saul, where's mother? She's stuck in denver because of the snow.
No ida?That's a shame.
Not really.
Stan, it's saul.
Oh, saul, how are you? - Yeah, good to see you.
Why don't you two catch up?I've gotta find kitty.
Stan the hippie.
oh, well, that's a long time ago.
So the copilot wanted robert to land the chopper, and robert thought it was too dangerous to go down.
How long did they argue? Well, about 25 seconds.
For 25 seconds they hovered under fire? And then they were hit.
Copilot died in the crash landing.
But once robert was on the ground, he saved those men.
Okaylf it was up to him yeah, they would've left.
That's why daniel cole came out of the woodwork.
He said that he heard the whole thing from the control tower and that he could prove that robert wasn't the hero that everybody thinks he is.
So you and kevin blackmailed him.
Yes, we blackmailed him.
I would have done the same thing.
You missed one.
Thank you.
What do you think?Is there any way to spin it? Better to find the leak.
If it turns out to be cole, shut him down again.
I'll make some calls, see what I can do.
Oh, god, isaac.
You know that robert doesn't know anything about this? Now how am I supposed to go down the aisle, look him in the eye and vow to do - I don't - I don't even know what I'm vowing.
I kitty walker, open this door! Hey, you get married.
Leave this to me.
All right.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm serious.
I will kick it down! No sense in ruining your shoes.
I'm sorry.
Lena.
Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?Where's justin? Something happen? No, not really.
It's just st so strange seeing tommy here and all the high-powered guests and the secret service agents just everywhere.
Wh-what would be weird about seeing tommy? Oh, nothing.
I - I just work for him.
So it's weird.
Lena, please tell me that tommy isn't the married man.
Oh, my god.
Are you kidding? Like, what are you doing? So justin is just sarah wants us, now.
Okay, um oh, my god.
Oh, no.
Not this putz.
Hey, everyone, uncle jack.
I can call you that, right, now that we're almost family? Uh, I don't think so.
Uh, no.
Come on, troops, let's go find, uh, our spots.
Let's go find our places.
Come on, kids.
That was unpleasant.
So just, uh just be good to kitty.
Better than you were to my brother? That's unfair.
He is half a world away trying to make a difference with his life.
He is all alone, and you du him.
Now it's none of my business, so I'm just gonna get through this.
I'm gonna be cordial, and that's what we should do for kitty's sake.
Of course.
My tie is itch you can take it off after the ceremony, okay? oh, my god.
oh, my god, kitty.
Aunt kitty, you look so beautiful.
Oh, honey, so do you.
You guys look great.
- Oh, god, what do you think? Do you think my hair's too curly? - No.
Should I wear it down? -It's beautiful.
It suits the dress perfectly.
Okay.
Turn around.
What is it, kitty?Are you okay? Just wishing dad was here.
Oh, I know.
It's not fair, is it? Oh, god.
I can't believe my baby sister is finally getting married.
I can't believe it either.
I really-I get- you know, I-I never wrote my vows.
I don't know what I'm gonna say.
You'll just stand up there and be honest.
Okay?You're gonna be great.
I promise.
- Flowers.
- Thanks.
I'm gonna tell them we're ready.
isn't she ready yet?It's time.
-oh, here she is.
Oh, kitty, you look so wonderful.
All right, they start with you, sweetie.
Kitty, please, please, let me talk to you.
Mom, mom, mom, we'll talk later.
Look, I-you didn't let me finish what I was saying the other day okay, the music's starting.
Okay, julia, go.
And I can't let you get married - becca, you're up.
You're up.
Mom, we'll talk later.
It's not a good time.
I can't let you get married until you hear what I have to say.
sarah, go.
You're up.
-go, sarah, go.
- Look, kitty, I know what I'm gonna say.
I'll talk fast.
- Okay, mom.
Come on, we have to go.
you have been my child, my challenge, my support, my best friend.
Mom you're gonna make me cry.
Well, maybe you should cry - or laugh or do whatever your heart tells you to.
I know how hard you've worked to find someon to love who would really see you and love you back.
Kitty, you're incapable of losing yourself.
You're not me.
You know yourself better than I ever have.
And I'm so proud to be your mother.
Is everything okay? yeah.
We're gathered here to join robert alexander mccallister and katherine ann walker in matrimony.
Who gives this woman to be married? She gives herself freely , with my love and my blessing.
mom? You can let go now.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
where's stan? -I don't know.
robert and kitty initially chose to recite traditional vows.
But anyone that knows this couple knows they are not traditional.
So I wasn't surprised when they opted to write their own.
Kitty? no.
Do-uh do you think maybe that you could go first? Of course.
KittY I ask you to marry me.
To say "I love you" seems inadequate, because I cannot imagine my life without you.
Because when I'm cynical, you give me hope.
In times where I felt I was losing my way, you've been my guidepost.
I love you more with each passing day.
And so I give you my hand, my heart and my love.
xxxxxxxxx kitty, your turn.
robert, I need to talk to you.
What? Alone.
Right now? -right now.
I need to talk to you alone.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm-I'm sorry.
we'll be right back.
I d't know.
here.
thank you.
Kitty what is going on? I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, robert, but I ju-I just couldn't go through with it.
I couldn't vow to love you and - and honor you and all that stuff without without telling you the truth.
Kitty, what are you talking about? I blackmailed someone.
First the brother dumps jason, and now this.
We don't deserve this.
What did we ever do to this family? We need drinks out there immediately.
Uh, we weren't prepared to serve at the wedding itself.
Well, improvise.
Maybe she finally came to her senses.
Kevin.
You know kitty.
Maybe she, uh got nothing.
If this has anything to do with what I said to her yesterday - why didn't I just keep my big mouth closed? Come on, mother.
She doesn't pay attention to anything we say anyway.
But if I had anything to do with this look, whatever is happening between kitty and robert, we just have to let them figure it out.
Let's get another.
Waiter? I don't understand the issue.
You were doing your job.
Kevin and I should have told you what we did, but I I guess I just wanted to protect you.
But I just couldn't marry you with this big secret.
It just- kitty, I know that there are no guarantees in this world.
We could wake up tomorrow, and could all go to hell.
But whatever happens, good or bad, I want you with me.
Okay? Okay.
Come on.
Let's go do this.
Robert, I-I don't even kn where to start , because you are so many things to me.
You're this-this brilliant, poised diplomat and then you're this-this really crazy romantic that just takes my breath away.
And when you're tired, and when you're stressed, you - you get really grumpy.
but then I can feel your head on my shoulder at night, and I and I know you're asleep.
And you're so peaceful, and you're so you're so vulnerable.
I love all those parts so much that I want to have you as my partner for the rest of my life.
Sick, healthy, rich, poor - as long as I'm with you, I I will be complete.
and that's it.
oh, um, one more thing, robert.
Will you be my husband? Yes.
Yes, I'll be your husband.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx robert I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The good thing for us is that cole is not giving any details until he's offered some serious cash.
Excuse me.
Would anyone mind explaining to me why I'm just learning about this now? I learned about it during my vows.
Isaac, there is no legitimate media source that is gonna go public with this story on his word alone.
They have to have substantiated proof, right? Well, he claims he has it.
He says that he has copies of the flight traffic reports and the communication logs from that day.
Yeah, but why now? Is he waiting for the worst possible moment? Well, I don't know.
Maybe he's bluffing.
Either way, the next move is we go to the news outlets with the truth.
The truth? Well, our opponents are gonna have a field day with that.
You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna swift boat him.
No, the truth about cole- that he's a perjurer, a blackmailer, a felon and a deadbeat dad, and anybody who goes with the story is gonna be dragged up to the hill for a hearing, period.
Exactly.
All right.
Let's do it.
Isaac, thank you.
Kitty and I should spend some time with the guests.
this fish is undercooked.
It's tuna tartare.
It's raw.
Thanks for telling me.
any chance I can take another picture? No, you only get one.
I can't believe the entire mccallister clan are giving me the cold shoulder.
I mean, what did jason tell them? No idea.
Oh, god, look what your mom's date wrote- "stop the erosion of civil rights.
Peace and love.
Stan.
" You know, I'm done justifying this breakup.
Then don'T.
Well-well, why am i the bad guy, you know? I didn't set out to hurt jason.
What-and, you know, I'm not the only one to blame here.
In fact, he's - okay, done.
Stop.
I'm not here as a friend to listen to you endlessly go on about your ex-boyfriend, because however you define what we are, we're not platonic anymore, and that fact that you're willing to obsess over jason- I'm not obsessed.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'm gonna take a walk.
Thank you.
Have you seen any nice men in my age range? Some of the secret service guys are hot.
Yeah, yeah, they're hot, but they're so cold.
Well, I have driven another man away.
I'd love to commiserate, but cooper's throwing hors d'oeuvres in the pool.
Cooper! You look about as happy as I do, which is not.
You know how you guys tell each other everything in this family, even if you shouldn't? Our family's curse and blessing.
What about it? is there anything that you won't tell each other, that's just completely off-limits? I probably wouldn't tell kitty I'd like to murder her husband.
And it wouldn't be that difficult getting my hands on a shotgun, thanks to him and his ilk.
Thanks, kevin.
You're welcome.
For what, I have no idea.
Champagne, please.
Excuse me.
Would you come with us, please? We'd like to ask you a few questions.
Hey, um, do you think we could go somewhere to talk? Is everything all right? No, not really.
Nora? Isaac marshall.
Yes, of course.
And may I say, you look as beautiful as the bride.
Well, thank you.
How are you? Not bad.
And you? I'm fine, but I seem to have lost my date.
I wonder where holly harper is? In that case, would you like to have a glass of champagne with me? Well, I'd love to.
Thank you.
So what was so important it can't wait? I can't believe you would do this.
Do what? You slept with lena, tommy.
I know.
Look, it was stupid.
Don't you think I realize that? Oh, you do?So what, you're off the hook now? You of all people shouldn't judge, really.
WowYou are seriously an ass.
You're cheating on your wife, and your baby's, what, 6 months old? And-and somehow you manage to be self-righteous? It was a mistake.
God.
You know what? You're always trying to be like dad.
But you know what? Even he had enough sense not to screw his secretary! Will you just shut up and let me explain? You want to explain something? How about you explain to your wife that you cheated on her the second she left town? This is none of your business, all right? - Get off me, tommy! This is none of your business! - Get off me! Gentlemen? Yo, this is ridiculous.
Like, we're-we're brothers.
We weren't fighting.
We'll talk to the senator.
I own this place, all right? You cannot keep me here - save your breath.
Apparently, the feds can detain us indefinitely.
Thank you, neocons.
Why are you two here? Oh, 'cause justin's apparently the self-appointed judge of the family.
You know what? And tommy's a hypocrite and liar, so don'T.
Oh, you found out about lena? Wait a second.
You know about lena? How do you kw about lena? If it's any consolation, I wish i didn't know.
I wish so many things right now.
So, uh, what did you do? Assassination threat on mccallister.
What? I didn't mean it.
I was just being me.
You know what?I hate my life right now.
Wow, this is the worst wedding in history.
You didn't happen to bring any of those, um, appetizers with you, did you? Yeah, I've got a shrimp cocktail in my pocket.
What is wrong with you? He's got the munchies.
oh, great.
Aren't you glad that I took dance lessons? My feet thank you.
do you realize that this is the first time that we've had a moment alone - uh, we have a little situation.
What? you haven't seen justin, have you? No.
And you should know that I told justin about you and tommy.
What? I'm sorry, but justin's been through enough.
He doesn't deserve to get hurt.
You know what?In case you've forgotten, you used to sleep with a married guy, too.
But what, now since you've hit the paternity jackpot, you can act as if you're better than me? I was 16, and I screwed up.
But knowing you, dating justin is just some calculated way to get tommy back, and I'm sorry, but it is spiteful, and it is stupid.
You know what?If I didn't know that you two were related, I'd think you were jealous.
He's my brother.
I'm just trying to protect him.
From what? God, why did i think that there would be any available men at this wedding? I just had a 20-minute conversation about- get it-quail hunting.
Will you tell justin that I went home? He can call me if he wants.
What did I just walk into? Nothing.
I'm sorry.
Ah, thank you.
You look lonely.
I am lonely.
Look at all these couples.
I don't care how old you are, it is tough being single at a wedding.
Right.
You can't help but think about all the chances that you missed or what it would have been like to have found that person.
Do you ever think maybe we ended things too soon? I like you, saul.
But one thing I know is men.
And when we were together, I knew that you weren't that interested in me.
Oh, you tried eh, I guess you're right.
It is my fault.
Why are you being so hard on yourself? It is not easy finding the right person the right time.
I was in love with a man I could never have.
I didn't mean to be.
I just was.
You can't help who you love, saul.
Cheers, holly.
Cheers.
Brothers-in-law stan.
All right, let these guys out.
Yes, free us, please.
Any chance I can get my pipe back? The uniformed officer in the hallway is holding your pipe.
Thank you, mr.
America.
So is, uh, kitty gonna disown us or what? No, she doesn't know anything about thiS.
I think we should probably keep it that way.
All right.
Thanks.
You know, I was surprised to hear that you went out on a limb for my campaign.
Kitty told me what you did last year to help with daniel cole.
Yeah, well, I actually did that for kitty.
But just so that you know, I care a lot about jason, and if things had worked out differently between us actually, we still wouldn't have been able to get married in this country.
You're not ever gonna stop holding that against me, are you? No, but I will stop threatening your life.
Sounds like we're making some progress.
My oldest-paul-um, he married a woman from a hindu family.
Paul is your oldest? How many children do you have? Can't believe I gotta pay a fine.
Stan, where have you been? I've been looking all over for-oh, sorry.
Stan, isaac.
Isaac, stan.
Hi, isaac.
How's it going? What fine do you have to pay? All I did was smoke a bowl, and suddenly it's - it's like freakin' waco! You were smoking pot at my daughter's wedding? Just to unwind.
Are you out of your mind? Robert's running for president.
The media is right outside.
What were you thinking? Okay.
Nora, I'm going home.
Stan, you're not leaving? Look, uh, I appreciate you looking me up.
It was really amazing seeing you again.
But, uh, it's just not gonna work.
I'm-I'm sorry.
Did I just get dumped at my daughter's wedding reception? Seems to me like you did.
excuse me.
Thanks.
So what was travis on about? Yeah, it was nothing.
Good, 'cause I think I would crumble into a million little pieces if there was another crisis.
No, you wouldn'T.
You think you would, but you wouldn'T.
I know you betteR.
How do you feel about starting the honeymoon early? But we haven't cut the cake.
Don't care.
You haven't thrown your bouquet.
Still not caring.
What about your garter? I think maybe I'll just save that for you.
Now how could i say no to that? You caT.
I'll be right back.
Mom?Sorry, isaac.
Can I talk to you for a second? Yes.
Excuse me.
Is something wrong? - No.
No.
No.
No.
Everything is perfect, but, well, robert and i just thought maybe we could get some time - alone, out of the hoopla.
Yeah, I'm getting a little tired of the hoopla.
Well, go.
Start your honeymoon.
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
can you believe it? No well, tell everybody I said good-bye, and and thanks.
Oh, I can't believe I made it through that entire wedding sober.
you were in lockdown.
Yeah, with stan.
It was like a new, special kind of torture.
Yeah, nd of like being stuck talking to a bunch of relatives you don't know.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Look, I was-I was the worst date today.
Uh, "date" implies you actually see the person.
I know.
I just-you know, I didn't know jason's family were gonna get to me like that.
Get to you? You were making death threats.
Oh, c-yeah, come-yeah, do I look like an assassin? You can't get mad at me for being upset at a bunch of people I don't even know acting like I'm - I'm the "gay guy" who doesn't know how to commit.
Then why did you stand there telling everyone we're still trying to define the word "we"? Because you said you wanted to take things slow, scotty.
You're not over him, kev.
At least, that's what it feels like to me.
Okay, maybe I'm not over jason completely, but I am getting there.
Scotty, I want to be with you.
Me, too.
But sometimes just because you want something doest mean it's possible.
two down.
Thank you so much for helping me get them home.
Oh, you're welcome.
Is paige asleep? Yeah, as soon as her head hit the pillow.
It took some convincing to get her to take the dress off.
oh, what a day, huh? I know.
Sarah, can I ask you kind of a random question? Sure.
Can you get that? Why did you tell me the truth about who my father is? I mean you could have just not said anything.
well, at the time, I told myself it was because you had a right to know.
It was gonna come out anyway.
But you want to know the god's honest truth? I did it to spite your mother.
I figured.
I think that's why I kissed joe to get back at you.
So why are we having this trip down bad memory lane? I'm sorry.
I honestly, I-I told justin something really awful about lena.
What? You don't want to know.
Oh, come on, I do.
I do.
-You really, really don't want to know.
You can't drop a big clanger like that and then go all clammy on me.
I'm your sister.
Come on, I love salacious gossip.
Okay.
lena was sleeping with tommy.
Our tommy? Oh, god.
And you know how many republicans voted to pass the 13th amendment abolishing slavery? how many? All of them.
Every single one.
well, I would agree with you if this were the 19th century.
But you have to agree the democrats do more for jobs and education today.
That depends on what you mean by "more.
gee.
it never stops.
-Yes.
hello? okay, thanks.
Bye.
something wrong? Robert's campaign is about to take a serious hit.
Why? There was a story brewing calling into question his military service.
I thought I killed it.
Turns out the "drudge report" is running with it.
Oh, my god.
I should call robert and have him brace himself.
Isaac can they do anything about it tonight? Not much, I'm afraid.
It's their wedding night.
At least give them that.
Just keep your eyes closed.
Come on.
No cheating.
-I'm not cheating.
What did you-what did you do?Did you get me a pup- you'll see.
Not yet.
Not yet.
Not yet.
Okay, open 'em.
oh, my god.
I wanted to start the honeymoon early since we only have 36 hours.
Oh, robert, it's beautiful.
Oh, god, I wish hawaii had more electoral votes.
No, no, we're not even gonna discuss the campaign.
Okay? Oh, my feet.
Wait a minute.
What are you doing?What about the crew? The crew is under strict instructions not to even come in to this compartment.
Thanks.
Nice place.
David? Holly.
So I was reading about this wedding in the newspaper, and I see your name, and I think, holly harper - how the hell did she end up owning a winery? Why didn't you just call? Why not stop by and see you in person? You look, um, amazing.
Thanks.
You look - like crap.
I know.
to tell you the truth, I didn't even know if it'd be you.
Holly harper I knew used to be an actress.
She's not that anymore.
Yeah, I can see that.
This is, uh, this is quite an operation.
It's very impressive.
You can't expect me to believe that you came here this late at night after that many years to find out if'm still in show business.
Who's this? That's rebecca.
why don't you tell me why you're really here?
