00:00:38 The past four years
00:00:39 it's been my honor
00:00:42 and with your support
00:00:43 I will continue to fight
00:00:52 Aren't you clapping
00:00:54 I can't help it.
00:00:56 His speechwriter
00:00:58 Yeah, he's okay.
00:00:59 If he isn't appreciated here,
00:01:01 for one of the other campaigns
00:01:04 It's a free country.
00:01:06 ...increase Maine's minimum wage
00:01:08 to keep pace with the cost of living.
00:01:12 In the last four years...
00:01:13 Of course, there are perks
00:01:16 Yeah, his really hot daughter.
00:01:18 I was thinking of the dental plan,
00:01:21 - He's so lucky to have her.
00:01:25 That's why he's been waiting
00:01:28 I know that we will succeed.
00:01:32 And I want to thank my family
00:01:34 for their love and support--
00:01:39 and my wonderful daughter Maggie.
00:02:02 Ben, you're an excellent
00:02:04 and I'm sure you're gonna make
00:02:07 Don't worry, Governor. Marriage
00:02:11 The key to success is
00:02:14 Yes, except marriage
00:02:17 Oh, this is so exciting! We can
00:02:21 Ben and I were thinking
00:02:24 It'll have to be. You can't fit
00:02:28 Okay, when I say "small"...
00:02:30 You know she always gets her way,
00:02:31 so you might as well give in
00:02:34 - That's true.
00:02:36 An intimate little 400-person
00:02:41 First Saturday in September's
00:02:43 The leaves won't have
00:02:46 There'll be no showy foliage
00:02:49 Yes, I'll be the one in white...
00:02:51 or at least ecru.
00:02:52 Your wedding planner's going
00:02:55 Do you have someone in mind?
00:02:57 I hadn't even thought of that.
00:02:59 Oh, what about Shel?
00:03:00 - Shel?
00:03:02 Ben's brother. Don't you think
00:03:04 - Your brother is a wedding planner?
00:03:08 He was telling me he's always
00:03:11 Don't you think he'd be great?
00:03:12 Sure, if you want to have fun,
00:03:18 I mean a formal wedding.
00:03:20 When I think of Shel,
00:03:23 Mojito time! Who wants?
00:03:26 Over here!
00:03:28 Mustn't go to waste.
00:03:32 Whoa! Kids!
00:03:33 Turn that off, Mark.
00:03:34 I hate being on camera.
00:03:36 I said cut! Cut it!
00:03:39 Nope, not, no, no...
00:03:41 I'm cutting you two O-F-F!
00:03:43 Yes, you can have.
00:03:45 And... done with you.
00:03:49 Hey, Shel.
00:03:50 Ben! What's wrong?
00:03:53 Yeah, they're okay. Why?
00:03:55 Shel! Mayo!
00:03:57 Hold on a second.
00:04:00 Garlic, herb, or spicy aoli?
00:04:02 Garlic!
00:04:04 Incoming!
00:04:12 You know I can't catch.
00:04:14 I know. It's just so much
00:04:18 - Ted, Ben's here.
00:04:20 Oh, no! What's wrong?
00:04:22 Can't I visit my brother without
00:04:26 Yes, but you never have.
00:04:28 Well, I am now.
00:04:30 Look, if you're too busy,
00:04:32 We'll talk in a second.
00:04:34 - Turkey, beef, soy, or veggie?
00:04:50 Move, move.
00:04:55 - What are you doing?
00:04:58 Hey, there.
00:05:00 Hey.
00:05:01 I live in 203. Dan.
00:05:04 Ben.
00:05:06 So, uh... how do you
00:05:10 I'm Shel's brother.
00:05:12 Oh. Cool.
00:05:13 I'm engaged...
00:05:15 to a woman.
00:05:19 Needs some more mustard.
00:05:24 Who was that?
00:05:26 I can't believe it!
00:05:28 My God, we love her!
00:05:31 - Congratulations, Ben!
00:05:35 So, anyway,
00:05:37 we're thinking
00:05:39 and if you're available,
00:05:41 I would be your best man?
00:05:43 I would love to!
00:05:45 Actually, I was--
00:05:48 Oh.
00:05:49 - I've known him since...
00:05:51 I'm sorry. I didn't mean--
00:05:52 No, I shouldn't have assumed.
00:05:55 So, Ben, what were
00:05:57 Oh, right.
00:05:59 Uh, listen--
00:06:02 but Maggie thought--
00:06:05 that, uh, that you might want
00:06:10 My first wedding!
00:06:14 Mine too.
00:06:16 Okay.
00:06:17 I'm glad he was
00:06:20 Yeah.
00:06:22 Okay, what's wrong?
00:06:24 Nothing.
00:06:25 It's just that, you know,
00:06:27 things are a little awkward
00:06:30 Growing up,
00:06:31 Little League, fishing,
00:06:34 He even followed me all the way
00:06:37 All the way to Maine
00:06:39 what is that, like,
00:06:42 Sorry.
00:06:43 So, what happened?
00:06:45 Nothing happened.
00:06:48 just sort of drifted apart.
00:06:50 I told him I was gay,
00:06:52 Of course it wasn't
00:06:55 I was always fine with that.
00:06:57 He turned white as a sheet
00:07:01 "I've got to get to rugby practice."
00:07:04 It hasn't really been the same since.
00:07:07 That's why I never
00:07:09 You know, I figured
00:07:12 an old-school union guy
00:07:16 have a final burp,
00:07:19 Well, on the upside,
00:07:22 ...for you and your brother
00:07:28 I'm thinking of something tasteful
00:07:31 Oh! I adore whimsy!
00:07:33 Yeah, and mostly
00:07:35 Oh, yeah, lots of fun.
00:07:37 You'll get to meet Conrad.
00:07:38 Aren't you meeting with
00:07:41 That was cancelled.
00:07:42 The Coast Guard caught some
00:07:44 Is that illegal now?
00:07:45 Poached salmon makes a terrific entree,
00:07:49 That sounds good!
00:07:51 Dad, this is Shel, Ben's brother.
00:07:54 - Pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:07:57 Thanks for taking on this job.
00:07:59 Seeing as how we're gonna be family,
00:08:03 We were just gonna take Shel
00:08:06 Your dad's busy.
00:08:07 Sure, sweetie, it sounds like fun.
00:08:09 - Good.
00:08:12 Fun. Fun.
00:08:17 - Please don't say "fabulous."
00:08:20 You see that dock
00:08:23 Conrad had that built for Maggie
00:08:26 Yes, I did.
00:08:28 Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
00:08:30 I'd say that our best place for
00:08:34 with some guests there and there.
00:08:37 - Sounds good.
00:08:39 No.
00:08:40 No? No?
00:08:43 I'd say it'd be best to hold the ceremony
00:08:46 We'll build a nice gazebo right there.
00:08:48 The guests could sort of
00:08:50 improve sightlines, and we
00:08:53 Shel, maybe the governor
00:08:57 I'd say he's right.
00:09:00 Great! Now for music.
00:09:01 I say we start out with a string quartet--
00:09:05 Eggshell cotton tablecloths
00:09:07 with centerpieces featuring
00:09:12 What do you think, honey?
00:09:14 - It's all good.
00:09:16 This is not you getting together
00:09:20 in which case,
00:09:22 This is your wedding day.
00:09:25 Pink tea roses sound nice.
00:09:28 Fine.
00:09:30 Although the lilies
00:09:32 Yes, they do have a lovely fragrance.
00:09:34 Which is helpful
00:09:37 Lilies it is, then.
00:09:46 James!
00:09:47 Oh, it smells so good in here!
00:09:50 - Hi.
00:09:52 - This is the lovely bride.
00:09:54 - My fiancé.
00:09:56 Dazzle us.
00:09:58 - ...these two as a centerpiece.
00:10:01 She likes the roses.
00:10:03 - Oh, no.
00:10:04 You missed this...
00:10:07 I love you.
00:10:09 - Ben?
00:10:10 - What do you think?
00:10:12 Here. Let's see this.
00:10:28 Stop!
00:10:30 Try this.
00:11:09 One, two, three.
00:11:27 Get back on the dance floor!
00:11:33 - Look who's here.
00:11:35 - Hey, gorgeous.
00:11:38 - Oh, hi!
00:11:40 I don't know, natural but,
00:11:44 More fun. Some movement.
00:11:46 - Done and fun.
00:11:47 Fill this out,
00:11:49 - It's puffy, Freddie.
00:11:52 No Farrah Fawcett.
00:11:54 Okay, Jaclyn Smith.
00:12:35 - Well?
00:12:38 No.
00:12:39 - No?
00:12:40 There's coconut in the frosting,
00:12:43 The more popular choice will be lemon.
00:12:47 All right.
00:12:50 Lemon it is.
00:12:51 I now pronounce this wedding
00:12:53 Just think,
00:12:55 two weeks from today,
00:12:58 I can't wait.
00:13:09 - Welling! Reelect Welling!
00:13:12 No, the governor won't be attending
00:13:16 If people from Vermont
00:13:18 putting up a fence won't stop 'em.
00:13:20 Yeah, I know they're annoying,
00:13:23 Ben, you've got to see this.
00:13:25 ...declaring any ban on gay
00:13:28 The decision is already under attack
00:13:31 Governor Welling's opponent
00:13:34 And if this decision stands,
00:13:36 gays will be allowed to marry
00:13:40 Now, we cannot
00:13:42 As your new governor,
00:13:44 my first act will be to seek
00:13:48 restricting marriage
00:13:52 the way God intended it.
00:13:53 So Brighton
00:13:55 That's quite an endorsement.
00:13:57 This is gonna make
00:13:59 The press is gonna be
00:14:02 I've got a fund-raiser
00:14:04 Let's set up a press conference
00:14:07 - Will do.
00:14:09 I want him to draft my response.
00:14:11 - He's right here.
00:14:13 Ben, I need this speech
00:14:15 so drop everything and get to it.
00:14:17 Okay.
00:15:13 Ready? Easy. Here we go.
00:15:17 - Yep.
00:15:19 - Hello?
00:15:21 Yeah, I just read your pages.
00:15:23 Yes, sir.
00:15:24 They're exactly what
00:15:26 - Thank you, sir, thank you.
00:15:29 - You're welcome.
00:15:31 - Yes, I will.
00:15:32 Thanks. Bye.
00:15:52 It's starting to look beautiful.
00:15:56 Thanks.
00:15:57 That means a lot to me,
00:15:59 I know Maggie talked you into this,
00:16:04 Where is she? We're supposed
00:16:06 She's stuck in the office.
00:16:09 - Sorry.
00:16:12 It'll be like when we used to sneak
00:16:16 - Only without puking this time.
00:16:18 - What were we thinking?
00:16:20 - Follow me.
00:16:22 Come on, old man!
00:16:25 Come on!
00:16:26 Stay away
00:16:33 It's a close call,
00:16:36 No, no. Try a little more
00:16:39 There you go.
00:16:41 Oh. Hey, your song.
00:16:43 No, no, no, no,
00:16:45 Come on, come on, come on,
00:16:47 Ben, you're always running
00:16:54 You feel you're not
00:17:00 Nice vibrato.
00:17:02 If you ever look behind
00:17:06 And don't like what you find
00:17:10 Here's something
00:17:13 You've got a place to go
00:17:17 You've got a place to go
00:17:22 Hey, we should sing that
00:17:24 Hey, maybe we shouldn't.
00:17:28 I'm in no hurry, bro.
00:17:30 Me either, bro.
00:17:31 Thanks for that update, Katie.
00:17:33 - Now onto the campaign trail.
00:17:35 In a move that will
00:17:38 Governor Welling has weighed in
00:17:40 on the State Supreme Court's
00:17:44 - Why don't we get some lunch.
00:17:47 Our gay citizens
00:17:49 are entitled to the same
00:17:52 as everyone else in our great state.
00:17:54 I love this guy.
00:17:56 However, that doesn't mean
00:17:59 on thousands of years
00:18:03 which is why I support
00:18:07 to prohibit same-sex marriage.
00:18:13 He's against gay marriage?
00:18:15 More like he's in favor
00:18:18 Let's go get some lunch.
00:18:20 I can't believe it.
00:18:21 He seemed like such a good guy.
00:18:23 He is a good guy.
00:18:24 He's always been
00:18:27 Yeah. Just not this one.
00:18:29 At least not in an election year.
00:18:32 He's an old-fashioned guy,
00:18:34 And he's not alone.
00:18:37 Well, that doesn't make it right.
00:18:41 Right?
00:18:42 Oh, no.
00:18:44 You agree with him.
00:18:46 You probably even wrote
00:18:50 Oh, my God.
00:18:52 You did.
00:18:55 I can't believe it.
00:18:58 I should've known.
00:18:59 - Come on, Shel.
00:19:02 It's okay for me to plan your wedding,
00:19:05 - It's not that simple.
00:19:08 You think it's fine for me
00:19:10 That's not true.
00:19:11 You can still have a wedding.
00:19:15 - Funny.
00:19:16 We'll see how funny when
00:19:18 You can't walk out.
00:19:20 - We have less than two weeks.
00:19:23 You can't quit.
00:19:26 Right. Fine, okay.
00:19:28 All right, I'm not quitting.
00:19:31 Thank you.
00:19:32 I'm going on strike.
00:19:36 Strike?
00:19:41 - You can't be serious.
00:19:44 Dad went on strike
00:19:47 Dad struck for higher wages
00:19:49 not so he could marry
00:19:55 You're picketing?
00:19:57 Yep. I'm exercising my right
00:20:01 and my calves, which is perfect,
00:20:06 Shel, I-- I-- I--
00:20:07 This whole "Norma Gay" routine
00:20:10 is not gonna change
00:20:12 Well, maybe if I can
00:20:14 So this is to rally Maine's
00:20:17 Honk if you support gay marriage!
00:20:23 That's the finger of oppression, ma'am!
00:20:25 I can't believe you're doing this to me!
00:20:27 You did this to me first!
00:20:28 Yeah?
00:20:30 Hey, Ben, terrific job.
00:20:32 Our position on gay marriage
00:20:35 Mostly.
00:20:36 I even got a response
00:20:37 The President
00:20:39 to help me with the campaign,
00:20:43 stay for the wedding.
00:20:44 My God, that's amazing!
00:20:45 What's amazing? Is that the Governor?
00:20:48 Is that Shel? Put him on.
00:20:51 He's got his hands full right now.
00:20:53 He's really busy.
00:20:55 I'll be sure to tell him.
00:20:57 Hello? Ben?
00:20:58 You can hang up on me,
00:21:01 - Support gay marriage!
00:21:03 The President of the United States
00:21:11 The President?
00:21:12 This is gonna be the most
00:21:15 so put down the picket sign.
00:21:16 Well, this changes everything.
00:21:18 I'm gonna have
00:21:21 The seating chart.
00:21:22 The menu, of course.
00:21:27 Wait a minute.
00:21:29 If I quit, the bad guys--
00:21:34 Very clever. Good try.
00:21:35 - Support gay marriage!
00:21:37 You've been drinking too!
00:21:39 Who do you trust that's sober?
00:21:43 Ted?
00:21:44 The prosecution has no objection
00:21:46 to the defense's request
00:21:49 Very well. Trial will resume
00:21:58 Hey! I was just gonna call you.
00:22:02 Why not?
00:22:08 What?
00:22:11 Shel, have you lost your mind?
00:22:13 Honk if you support
00:22:21 I'm glad you showed up.
00:22:24 He'll listen to reason. I think
00:22:27 You go. Take off.
00:22:29 Thanks.
00:22:30 So now you're in league
00:22:33 Only partly.
00:22:35 I understand how you're feeling,
00:22:37 You're not political.
00:22:40 Anderson Cooper doesn't count.
00:22:41 You don't have to watch the news
00:22:44 So join one of the gay political groups
00:22:48 You're just gonna look foolish
00:22:50 Why don't you join me?
00:22:54 Because I happen to be
00:22:59 They frown on us
00:23:02 Shel, I love you,
00:23:05 All right.
00:23:06 Well, I guess we both have to do
00:23:12 It's gonna be getting dark.
00:23:14 Why don't we talk about this
00:23:18 I think I'm gonna stay here tonight.
00:23:20 All night?
00:23:22 But you hate camping!
00:23:24 It'll be cold, and there'll be bugs,
00:23:26 and Heath Ledger won't be
00:23:28 I'll be fine.
00:23:30 All right. You know, Shel,
00:23:33 but this is really tacky.
00:23:38 I think you'd better go now.
00:24:12 Support my constitutional right
00:24:16 Support my right to get married.
00:24:19 Support my constitutional right
00:24:29 Support my right to gay marriage!
00:24:33 Gay marriage, anyone?
00:24:38 At least Rosa Parks
00:24:44 Hey.
00:24:46 - You here to support gay marriage?
00:24:49 I'm here 'cause some guy named Ted
00:24:53 Oh, thank you.
00:25:07 I love that you keep yourself
00:25:09 but don't you think
00:25:12 It's not for you.
00:25:13 It's for the President.
00:25:14 If I can't be the most important man
00:25:17 I can at least
00:25:19 ...or use other means
00:25:20 Governor Welling announced
00:25:22 that he is in favor of
00:25:25 What?
00:25:27 This puts both he and his opponent,
00:25:29 on the same side of the issue,
00:25:31 a dead issue in the campaign.
00:25:33 Okay, let me say one thing
00:25:36 Too late. How could my father
00:25:38 Because even though
00:25:41 he believes marriage should be
00:25:43 What did he say when
00:25:46 "Thanks, Ben, I'm glad we agree"?
00:25:49 You agree?
00:25:51 - Your own brother is gay!
00:25:53 What is that supposed to mean?
00:25:55 Ben, are you embarrassed
00:25:57 No.
00:25:59 Okay, maybe a little.
00:26:02 Hey, but on some level,
00:26:04 That's insane. He is totally out.
00:26:07 He wears a Prada shoulder bag!
00:26:09 Not in front of our parents,
00:26:10 That is not a cat he wants
00:26:14 What did he say
00:26:16 Okay, I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:26:19 He was a little miffed.
00:26:20 - I'm calling him!
00:26:22 Look, he's probably
00:26:25 Besides, he and Ted
00:26:28 If you call, you might
00:26:33 Things? It's called sex, Ben.
00:26:35 You can't even say it. Sex.
00:26:37 I can say it, okay?
00:26:38 I'm just more comfortable
00:26:43 Especially when that woman is looking
00:26:49 You and your brother have a lot more
00:26:53 Oh, yeah? What's that?
00:26:55 Neither one of you is gonna be
00:27:38 Crazy man.
00:28:22 Support gay marriage.
00:28:25 Morning, Ben.
00:28:26 Question: why is your brother
00:28:34 One, two, three, four.
00:28:38 Five, six, seven, eight.
00:28:40 - Shel?
00:28:42 Ben told me you were upset,
00:28:43 but this isn't the way
00:28:46 What is the way
00:28:48 Well, to be honest,
00:28:49 One, two, three, four.
00:28:53 Five, six, seven, eight...
00:28:54 - Shel?
00:28:55 Don't you think
00:28:58 but at the same time
00:29:00 It's just a picket sign.
00:29:05 That's a good idea.
00:29:07 Oh, you don't want to use that.
00:29:10 It's so red-state, blue-state.
00:29:12 Madeleine Albright
00:29:20 Governor, I'm really sorry about this.
00:29:23 Well, it's really not your fault, Ben...
00:29:25 but what do you plan to do about it?
00:29:27 I got it covered. After you called me,
00:29:30 - I'll do anything short of a Taser.
00:29:33 My plan is equally effective,
00:29:36 Support my right
00:29:40 Support my right...
00:29:45 Hi! Hi!
00:29:55 Shel, look who came out early.
00:29:59 - Oh, look at you.
00:30:00 - Hi, honey.
00:30:03 - Hey, Dad.
00:30:05 - Hey, Dad.
00:30:12 Whoa.
00:30:19 Oh, Vern, have you ever seen
00:30:22 Doesn't have wheels.
00:30:24 Ben says you've been doing
00:30:27 That's why I thought it'd be fun
00:30:30 so you could see Shel hard at work.
00:30:33 Yeah. All right, well,
00:30:37 - Follow me.
00:30:39 What were you doing out here,
00:30:41 - Taking a walk.
00:30:44 - Back and forth, back and forth?
00:30:48 What do you guys want
00:30:50 How about the seating chart?
00:30:53 You know what? I will not be
00:30:56 Honey, you can say
00:30:58 We don't care about
00:31:01 No, this is something
00:31:04 - Mom, Dad...
00:31:06 I'm gay.
00:31:08 Ben and Maggie have been
00:31:14 Is it because I made you
00:31:17 No, Mother.
00:31:19 It's nothing to be ashamed of.
00:31:20 I'm just gay,
00:31:22 same way some people
00:31:26 - Or just Lutheran?
00:31:28 Actually, I was born gay,
00:31:31 You were born Lutheran, Shel.
00:31:33 It says so right on
00:31:35 No, Dad, that's because...
00:31:37 And it doesn't say "gay,"
00:31:40 Okay, the point is,
00:31:43 and I just hope you both
00:31:48 He really did it.
00:31:52 I'm afraid he's not
00:31:54 So now what?
00:31:56 First thing is to
00:31:58 He's one guy with a picket sign.
00:32:01 Since the guy is the brother of the man
00:32:05 whose wedding the President
00:32:08 Okay. I'll switch all press away from...
00:32:11 - Tisdale.
00:32:13 Channel 9 News. I sent him to do a piece
00:32:17 Oh, God. Maggie.
00:32:18 Well, call him. Call her.
00:32:22 It's too late.
00:32:24 Damn, we got to get rid
00:32:27 How?
00:32:28 The governor wants to meet?
00:32:30 I can't promise he'll change his mind.
00:32:33 It doesn't mean
00:32:35 We wouldn't expect that.
00:32:37 We've got to hurry.
00:32:39 Not that way.
00:32:43 We're meeting on a boat?
00:32:45 Not so much a boat
00:32:47 This is Ed Myerson,
00:32:50 The governor was called away.
00:32:52 He asked me to
00:32:54 in anticipation of a later meeting.
00:32:56 Ed will take down everything,
00:33:00 Ready when you are.
00:33:01 Uh... okay, uh... well, I guess, um,
00:33:05 Why can my brother get married
00:33:08 - Of course.
00:33:09 I mean, that's how this whole thing
00:33:13 That was the initial conception...
00:33:18 What are you doing here?
00:33:19 Master's in journalism
00:33:22 They send me out to cover
00:33:25 I thought it would be fun
00:33:29 Well, hello!
00:33:32 Casper, this is Maggie,
00:33:34 Maggie, it's a pleasure
00:33:36 You too. Where's Ed?
00:33:40 See, if you don't treat people equally,
00:33:42 this essentially stops
00:33:46 - Right?
00:33:48 I'm here at Governor Welling's estate,
00:33:50 where this Saturday a very
00:33:54 Even the bridal bouquet
00:33:56 I mean, sure, anyone can
00:33:58 ...saying "I do" in front
00:34:01 is gonna be
00:34:03 So, are you brave enough to tell us
00:34:05 what a wedding
00:34:07 the President
00:34:10 Well, we could, but money's
00:34:13 ...having your relationship
00:34:16 That's true.
00:34:17 I just want
00:34:18 Yeah.
00:34:21 Everybody-- No!
00:34:22 What's going on here?
00:34:25 - What is this? What are you doing?
00:34:29 There's no doubt
00:34:32 that the state of this union
00:34:35 This is Caspar Tisdale
00:34:40 I think that went well, don't you?
00:34:42 You jerk! You liar!
00:34:44 Shel, oh, my God, you're soaked.
00:34:46 - Who's that?
00:34:48 Stop! Don't put that camera away.
00:34:51 Support gay marriage!
00:34:53 How fast can we set up again?
00:34:57 It's the Channel 9 News with anchors
00:35:01 Arlo Donovan with the weather,
00:35:06 - I'm toast.
00:35:09 Thank you for doing this. You're really
00:35:12 Hey, call me Caspar.
00:35:15 Welcome to Channel 9 News.
00:35:17 Poor Shel.
00:35:18 I didn't lie to you.
00:35:21 Miffed?
00:35:22 "Miffed" and "on strike"
00:35:24 When factory workers get screwed,
00:35:27 Ben, don't you think your parents
00:35:30 Oh, I think they'd rather
00:35:33 It's been a pretty rough day.
00:35:34 Okay, this says it has something
00:35:38 Not his blue jeans,
00:35:40 which I always thought
00:35:44 Oh, dear.
00:35:46 FYI: poor Shel told them
00:35:51 Now they think you're a slut.
00:35:52 ...more liberal constituents.
00:35:54 Both Governor Welling and his
00:35:57 have announced their support
00:36:00 defining marriage as between
00:36:03 But for at least one member
00:36:05 this announcement
00:36:07 Caspar Tisdale joins us now
00:36:11 Caspar.
00:36:12 This is Caspar Tisdale reporting live
00:36:15 where an unusual protest
00:36:18 Shel Grandy was handling
00:36:20 for his brother's wedding
00:36:22 that is, until the governor
00:36:26 and that's when Mr. Grandy,
00:36:28 decided to go on strike.
00:36:33 Do I talk now?
00:36:34 Well, you wouldn't be
00:36:38 Well, I'm here to say that
00:36:43 Your protest doesn't seem
00:36:46 Has anyone joined you
00:36:47 No, I'm pretty much...
00:36:51 Do you think that
00:36:53 No, no, I don't think
00:36:55 He already told me that
00:36:58 So at this point, you're really
00:37:01 No, I'm--
00:37:02 I'm striking--
00:37:03 I'm striking for my--
00:37:07 I believe wholeheartedly
00:37:10 I guess you got all the political savvy
00:37:13 He's never done this before.
00:37:15 What would you say
00:37:17 who are thinking you're just
00:37:20 Shut up!
00:37:23 We're not just a fringe group.
00:37:25 There are a lot of us out here,
00:37:28 Interesting thought.
00:37:29 If all the world's florists,
00:37:32 were to go on strike,
00:37:36 For Channel 9 Action News,
00:37:38 reporting live from
00:37:41 Great TV, kid.
00:37:46 You bitch.
00:37:48 He made Shel look like
00:37:50 - He did, didn't he?
00:37:56 Well, I'd sure hate to lose
00:37:58 Let's hope he doesn't strike
00:38:02 And on that note, let's go
00:38:05 with Arlo Donovan.
00:38:08 Where's Arlo?
00:38:09 He just left.
00:38:11 It appears Arlo has
00:38:15 Turning now to our next story...
00:38:18 "I'm on strike too, ass wipes."
00:38:27 Katie?
00:38:30 Back to you, Matt.
00:39:01 Honey!
00:39:04 That fruit loop I delivered
00:39:07 Jerome, we need to talk.
00:39:18 You're being too hard on yourself.
00:39:22 Mom says don't feel too bad.
00:39:24 She'd come out and tell you herself,
00:39:28 Why did they decide
00:39:33 Oh, my God. You're kidding.
00:39:38 Are you okay?
00:39:39 Yeah.
00:39:41 I thought if I'd go on TV,
00:39:44 but I just ended up looking like
00:39:48 It wasn't that bad.
00:39:50 It'd be easier to believe
00:39:51 if you hadn't felt the need
00:39:54 Well, the important thing is
00:39:57 Come on.
00:40:04 What are all these cars doing here?
00:40:44 Oh, no.
00:41:14 - What kind of strike is this?
00:41:17 Is anything even open?
00:41:18 - What's going on?
00:41:22 I can't believe it!
00:41:25 This strike is something else!
00:41:27 Support Shel!
00:41:29 Support gay marriage!
00:41:31 Send a message
00:41:34 Support Shel!
00:41:38 Support Shel!
00:41:42 Reelect Welling. Please hold.
00:41:43 Ben, thank God you're here.
00:41:45 The advance team
00:41:47 and no one was there to pick them up.
00:41:49 But Angela arranged for a limo.
00:41:50 The limo service is on strike.
00:41:52 Well, why didn't she call
00:41:54 Angela's on strike too.
00:41:58 Hello? Reelect Welling.
00:42:00 Hello? Mom? Not now.
00:42:02 Five, six, seven, eight,
00:42:06 One, two, three, four,
00:42:09 Five, six, seven, eight,
00:42:13 One, two, three, four,
00:42:16 Five, six, seven, eight,
00:42:20 One, two, three, four,
00:42:23 Well, naturally,
00:42:27 Well, you give
00:42:31 An emergency summit
00:42:34 The President won't be
00:42:36 Well, if it's an emergency summit--
00:42:38 Please. An emergency summit
00:42:42 of "I'd love to come,
00:42:59 Whoa! What do you
00:43:06 Honoring the strike.
00:43:11 Hi, is this World of Weddings?
00:43:13 Yes, I'm calling about
00:43:17 This Saturday
00:43:21 No, the wedding
00:43:24 At the, uh, Governor's estate.
00:43:27 Hello?
00:43:28 Hi. I'm looking
00:43:32 Hello, Till Death Do Us Part?
00:43:35 Yeah, this Saturday
00:43:42 This Saturday
00:43:44 Hi, I was wondering
00:43:46 I need a wedding coordinator.
00:43:49 Oh, you have...
00:43:52 That's fantastic.
00:43:56 Thank you for coming
00:43:58 Fairfield, darling, Fairfield.
00:44:01 And you're in very good hands.
00:44:03 I'm known as
00:44:06 In Maine?
00:44:08 Remember Tony Orlando and Dawn?
00:44:11 Oh, she was--
00:44:13 Okay, what the hell is going on
00:44:16 Oh, that's, uh--
00:44:18 Actually, it's our
00:44:20 making a very valid stand
00:44:24 Well, my second
00:44:27 Yeah. Gay as the day is long.
00:44:30 He ran off
00:44:34 He's a very handsome man, Javier.
00:44:36 Always wore a white thong.
00:44:39 Didn't speak a word of English.
00:44:45 Azaleas!
00:44:46 Excuse me?
00:44:47 Nothing says "we'll be
00:44:54 You know, actually,
00:44:57 - We just need you to coordinate.
00:45:00 Giant topiary cupids,
00:45:04 ...three, four, don't you close
00:45:07 Five, six, seven, eight,
00:45:09 Let her through.
00:45:15 Shel, I don't want to do
00:45:18 I want to postpone,
00:45:20 My father says it's gonna
00:45:23 That's okay, Maggie.
00:45:24 - I love you.
00:45:33 You're gonna miss
00:45:36 Mrs. Fairfield
00:45:38 ice sculptures, a champagne
00:45:42 Cherub caterers?
00:45:43 Yep. She's promised us
00:45:48 Pizzazz.
00:45:50 The only thing worse than
00:46:01 - Wayne?
00:46:05 Oh! That's how you
00:46:13 I thought you were staying
00:46:15 So did I, but they
00:46:17 Something about the gay dudes
00:46:20 So it looks like I'm gonna be
00:46:25 and Magpie.
00:46:35 What started out as a simple,
00:46:38 has ended up affecting every state...
00:46:40 From Augusta, Maine,
00:46:43 no American city
00:46:45 In a wave of support that
00:46:49 Shel Grandy's strike for the right
00:46:52 The gay strike is one week old,
00:47:14 You? I'm totally surprised.
00:47:16 The way that it's sweeping the nation
00:47:20 It's sort of like the gay equivalent to
00:47:22 "I'm mad as hell,
00:47:24 Excellent analogy.
00:47:25 Thanks. Sort of
00:47:27 So, you're out there
00:47:30 We know you've gotten
00:47:33 Does anybody "strike" your fancy?
00:47:36 I'm not gonna deny there are
00:47:39 but no one compares
00:47:41 In that case,
00:47:42 this is a slightly disappointed
00:47:46 reporting live from Los Angeles.
00:47:48 Thank you.
00:48:27 Can I have one of those?
00:48:35 Thanks.
00:48:44 - What do we want?
00:48:46 - When do we want it?
00:48:57 - What do we want?
00:48:58 All we want is marriage access.
00:49:01 We pay our bills, we pay our taxes.
00:49:10 In yet another assault on one
00:49:13 gays want to get married.
00:49:15 What next? Polygamy?
00:49:17 Incest?
00:49:24 Don't even think about it.
00:49:32 The Dow-Jones is already
00:49:36 That's not all that's looking good.
00:49:37 Merchandisers are clearly
00:49:40 from the terrific pre-school
00:49:43 The profits from last weekend
00:49:45 of the big winter retail sales period,
00:49:48 and culminates with the end-of-the-year
00:49:52 In other news, the man
00:49:55 wants to marry has been revealed
00:50:02 Hey, Ted.
00:50:10 That was "Endless Love,"
00:50:14 And now Celine Dion with...
00:51:02 All we want is marriage access.
00:51:07 You guys, it's Ted!
00:51:08 All right, Ted!
00:51:12 Congratulations!
00:51:18 Throwing a strike is no different
00:51:21 The key is make sure
00:51:23 and keep them circulating.
00:51:27 Uh-oh. Excuse me
00:51:30 Hi. I know what you're gonna say,
00:51:33 Can we please talk
00:51:36 Sure.
00:51:39 Oh! Hello! I'm Wanda.
00:51:43 I recognize you from the newspaper.
00:51:47 - Nice to meet you.
00:52:01 It's not funny. Are you sure
00:52:05 Well, they're the ones they sent.
00:52:07 Mind you, they were
00:52:09 I'm sorry!
00:52:12 Never mind.
00:52:13 Look, darling, there is still time
00:52:21 Maybe you should wear
00:52:23 Dude, these tuxes you ordered
00:52:33 Oh, God.
00:52:37 Oh, God.
00:52:40 I like it.
00:52:46 - Sorry about that.
00:52:49 I was happy to be
00:52:50 about an impending wedding
00:52:53 She seemed to like you.
00:52:55 I never said anything
00:52:58 I mentioned your name
00:53:01 - That's it?
00:53:03 The bailiff wants
00:53:04 It'll blow over.
00:53:06 Tomorrow Britney will drop
00:53:10 I'd better be.
00:53:12 And so what if people think
00:53:16 Is that a bad thing?
00:53:21 We just moved in together
00:53:23 Eight months ago. And we've been
00:53:27 - That's longer than Ben and Maggie.
00:53:30 What are you saying to me?
00:53:32 Are you saying you wouldn't want
00:53:35 - I don't-- I don't know.
00:53:38 I don't know.
00:53:40 I've never spent one instant of my life
00:53:44 One of the benefits of being gay
00:53:47 I wouldn't have to spend one instant
00:53:50 until now, thanks to you.
00:53:52 Who wants to marry you anyway?
00:53:55 Well, fine.
00:53:57 Fine.
00:54:05 Bridesmaids swing to the left.
00:54:08 The cherub flower girl
00:54:11 Everyone settles.
00:54:12 There's a hush, and I sing...
00:54:14 Sometimes when we touch...
00:54:18 Governor brings Maggie...
00:54:20 The honesty's too much...
00:54:22 Maggie, greet Ben.
00:54:23 And I have to close my eyes
00:54:27 Maggie, turn away.
00:54:29 Ben, swing her around gently
00:54:31 I want to hold you till I die
00:54:34 He takes her left hand.
00:54:36 Till we both break down and cry
00:54:38 She takes his hand.
00:54:40 I want to hold you...
00:54:42 Till the fear in me
00:54:44 Maggie's line--
00:54:46 Ben--
00:54:50 Subsides
00:54:56 I also do a terrific "Mack the Knife,"
00:54:58 but I'd like to save that for when
00:55:01 Well?
00:55:03 Really good.
00:55:05 Yeah.
00:55:06 But you're going to be so busy.
00:55:08 Maybe we should just
00:55:12 What are you talking about?
00:55:14 Nothing is as good
00:55:18 - Is he alive?
00:55:20 We're gonna think about it,
00:55:22 'cause we need to go get ready
00:55:26 Oh, really?
00:55:31 Sorry, Governor,
00:55:33 and our delivery guy is out on...
00:55:36 Well, you know.
00:55:37 Yeah, we know.
00:55:39 - Fish and chips and burgers coming up.
00:55:42 I had a reservation at Finique,
00:55:46 That's a shame.
00:55:49 What's odd is that none of the other
00:55:52 I'll bet that's because of Shel.
00:55:55 Turns out your son's very popular.
00:55:59 Well, at least one of them is.
00:56:01 Well, Shel always did have
00:56:04 Who wouldn't be proud to count Shel
00:56:08 Maggie, could I see you alone
00:56:10 Sure.
00:56:12 Excuse us.
00:56:19 Dude.
00:56:23 Look, sweetheart,
00:56:26 for everything that's gone wrong
00:56:29 Actually, Dad,
00:56:33 Well, in any case...
00:56:36 Ben's the one you've been taking
00:56:39 I know. Sorry.
00:56:43 It's just I'm starting to see a side of him
00:56:47 Maybe you need
00:56:48 of all the things that
00:56:51 After all, you did
00:56:53 Yeah, because
00:56:56 And I'm sure he stupidly
00:56:59 He's just so frustrating.
00:57:02 Look, why don't you do
00:57:04 when she's frustrated with me.
00:57:06 Needlepoint's not my thing.
00:57:09 Actually I meant to say
00:57:13 Needlepoint?
00:57:15 Yeah.
00:57:18 So, last January when I didn't take
00:57:21 your mother to Hawaii
00:57:24 and she started making
00:57:27 I can't believe
00:57:30 Okay, this conversation
00:57:34 Let's get back to the table so I can
00:57:38 What good news?
00:57:39 It seems I'm taking her
00:57:43 I'm glad we solved your problem.
00:57:45 Don't worry. I think I may have
00:57:50 - Did you?
00:57:53 - How are you doing?
00:57:55 Ben, I've been thinking.
00:57:58 If we sit down
00:58:14 How was the rehearsal dinner?
00:58:16 I heard Finique lost the reservations.
00:58:20 - I think I have a way to end this.
00:58:23 You're gonna want to hear this.
00:58:27 All right.
00:58:28 Let's go someplace a little quieter.
00:58:43 Should I be leaving a trail
00:58:46 Is your plan to take me out here
00:58:50 No, this is real. The governor's willing
00:58:53 of civil unions as soon as you call off
00:58:57 - Did you say "civil unions"?
00:58:58 No deal.
00:59:00 What do you mean no deal?
00:59:02 The governor's going out on a big limb.
00:59:05 I want the same thing
00:59:07 Civil unions
00:59:09 And sitting in the back of the bus is
00:59:13 Marriage isn't just
00:59:15 There are legal issues--
00:59:16 tax benefits, health insurance,
00:59:20 and other laws that apply
00:59:23 - Really?
00:59:24 I may have started this
00:59:27 You want to make a difference?
00:59:29 Go talk to the governor
00:59:31 I can't do that.
00:59:33 You know, it makes perfect sense
00:59:36 because it's about a rat, which is
00:59:40 I hate that song!
00:59:41 I remember so clearly your face
00:59:45 You made that rat face!
00:59:46 It wasn't a rat face.
00:59:49 It was a wince of,
00:59:51 Excuse me for not throwing on
00:59:55 It was a lot to spring on me.
00:59:58 I didn't change, Ben.
01:00:02 - Sometimes, I could just...
01:00:06 Thanks to you, Maggie hates me,
01:00:08 Even Mom's giving me the evil eye.
01:00:10 You might as well.
01:00:13 Go ahead, hit me.
01:00:16 Come on, hit me!
01:00:21 You hit me.
01:00:24 You told me to hit you.
01:00:27 Ow! I didn't say
01:00:30 - It was implicit when you hit me.
01:00:39 Not bad for a fairy, huh?
01:00:52 - Wait. Dad's coming.
01:00:55 I can't believe
01:00:59 Break it up. Break it up!
01:01:02 He started it.
01:01:03 You so started it.
01:01:05 You.
01:01:07 Hey, aren't you
01:01:12 Yeah.
01:01:15 - We're behind you, man.
01:01:17 Yes, I'd be delighted to.
01:01:24 - There you go.
01:01:28 What makes you think I'm gay?
01:01:30 Sorry, I just assumed.
01:01:32 Now it's
01:01:36 Grandy, you made bail.
01:01:40 The straight one.
01:01:45 The gay one gets out too.
01:01:51 Funny how we both chose
01:01:55 Oh, please, I came this close
01:01:59 Yeah, we'd make a great photo op.
01:02:00 "Governor's daughter
01:02:03 were seen bailing their respective
01:02:07 When Shel said he wanted
01:02:09 I had no idea he meant literally.
01:02:11 I don't think it's about gay marriage
01:02:15 Oh, yeah.
01:02:16 Do you think they are ever going
01:02:19 It's hard to say.
01:02:21 Unfortunately, along with the great hair,
01:02:26 Why couldn't they both
01:02:31 It's not my fault.
01:02:33 A civil union is not a marriage!
01:02:35 You hear that?
01:02:36 He's right. Would you be satisfied
01:02:40 I give up.
01:02:41 I give up. You're the only
01:02:43 While you were siding with Shel,
01:02:45 he was trying to help me
01:02:48 I didn't do it for you,
01:02:51 Frankly, I think
01:02:53 Let's get out of here, shall we?
01:03:07 I'm sorry we fought
01:03:09 I don't like being pressured.
01:03:12 Ted, if you love someone,
01:03:14 the idea of staying together
01:03:17 I've been thinking about this.
01:03:19 If we're not in this for the long run,
01:03:24 Wait. Shel, why can't we just go
01:03:31 'Cause I'm...
01:03:34 not the same person I was before.
01:03:40 Shel, get in the car.
01:05:04 Maggie, say something.
01:05:07 Ben, right now,
01:05:09 I don't want to see anyone.
01:05:18 Magpie, your wedding planner
01:05:22 She said she couldn't get doves,
01:05:25 'cause she lined up
01:05:36 It appears the two-week-old gay strike
01:05:39 Over 60% of voters
01:05:42 to stand up to the protesters.
01:05:44 You see? There you go.
01:05:45 The moral majority's on my side.
01:05:48 Conrad, you know, just because
01:05:52 doesn't mean that they are immoral.
01:05:55 Me, for instance.
01:05:57 Well, you?
01:06:00 It's not them or us, dear.
01:06:02 We're all the same.
01:06:03 Frankly, I'm a little disappointed
01:06:08 Is that needlepoint?
01:06:10 Yes, I'm going to cover
01:06:13 all 12 of them.
01:06:15 I think I'm going to get some air.
01:06:20 Don't catch cold.
01:06:36 Governor.
01:06:37 Sorry, I was-- I wasn't--
01:06:39 Clearly, I was, but, you know,
01:06:43 You know, I often find common ground
01:06:47 but I don't very often
01:06:52 Nine bathrooms, and you still use a tree.
01:06:55 I didn't want to go back
01:06:59 I'm not very popular
01:07:01 How come you're not
01:07:03 I'm not popular
01:07:05 That's the toughest thing
01:07:07 You don't want to disappoint
01:07:11 but sometimes it's inevitable.
01:07:12 Even when you believe
01:07:15 you have to hope
01:07:17 To thine own self be true.
01:07:18 Even when it sucks, huh?
01:07:20 Even when it sucks.
01:07:21 Look, Shel,
01:07:26 I know. I got...
01:07:28 - See ya.
01:07:32 Now the polls are showing
01:07:33 Welling's tough stance
01:07:36 has put him comfortably
01:07:37 Let's hope gays will leave the marching
01:07:41 and go back to their parades.
01:07:47 Son.
01:07:49 I know. I heard.
01:07:51 My strike is making the governor
01:07:54 I guess I embarrassed you
01:07:57 Look, I can't really say
01:08:02 this gay stuff.
01:08:03 I don't know.
01:08:06 But I do know I'm proud of you,
01:08:08 taking a stand for something
01:08:12 But I lost.
01:08:16 Let me tell you something.
01:08:19 In '86 when our union
01:08:23 we were out for six months.
01:08:25 We ended up losing anyway.
01:08:27 I put my sign down
01:08:30 So you think I should go back
01:08:33 That's between you
01:08:35 All I'm really trying to say is,
01:08:40 I'll never regret taking a stand,
01:08:46 Thanks, Dad.
01:08:49 Look...
01:08:51 we went back out
01:08:55 I mean, you can lose a battle
01:08:59 Remember that.
01:09:03 I'm sorry I didn't tell
01:09:08 I'm sorry.
01:09:10 I'm just sorry that you
01:09:15 You know, there's no secret,
01:09:19 could ever come between us.
01:09:22 You're my son, no matter what.
01:09:32 Hey, Ben?
01:09:36 It's Magpie.
01:09:38 Dude, on the phone,
01:09:41 Hi, honey.
01:09:43 Hi, honey.
01:09:45 Did you sneak out early
01:09:48 to see the bride
01:09:50 I got to run out for a while.
01:09:52 Cool. Hey, even though
01:09:54 can I still wear
01:09:57 How'd you know about the wedding?
01:09:59 I was on the extension.
01:10:06 Out of the way, please.
01:10:09 Thank you.
01:10:12 Excuse me, darling.
01:10:14 Have you seen a small Panamanian
01:10:17 No, I'm happy to say.
01:10:19 What are you doing
01:10:21 Why aren't you with your rabble,
01:10:24 The media wants my reaction to the poll.
01:10:29 You can tell them
01:10:32 the wedding's been put on hold.
01:10:33 Maggie apparently
01:10:36 and no one knows where she is.
01:10:38 Maggie's called off the wedding?
01:10:40 You didn't hear it from me.
01:10:49 Thank you.
01:10:58 Thank you.
01:11:00 Good morning.
01:11:01 I know it's been a long night,
01:11:05 I want you all to know
01:11:07 and everyone that supported us
01:11:10 have made a difference--
01:11:12 an even bigger difference than
01:11:16 I know I sure couldn't.
01:11:19 We may have lost the battle...
01:11:23 but in my heart I know
01:11:29 We'll win because
01:11:31 and because the people
01:11:34 and co-workers we return to
01:11:37 that we will not be treated
01:11:40 because of who we love.
01:11:42 And if you're not out to all the people
01:11:47 Because those who think gay people
01:11:49 are out to destroy
01:11:51 don't know us very well.
01:11:53 We do not destroy.
01:11:55 We renovate.
01:11:59 And we are gonna make
01:12:02 and even more beautiful than ever.
01:12:07 I may not always agree
01:12:11 but they are my family.
01:12:13 And this whole thing started
01:12:15 because I believe everybody
01:12:19 For better or worse,
01:12:23 There was to be
01:12:25 but it's not gonna happen
01:12:27 Now...
01:12:30 I'd like to ask y'all a little favor.
01:12:33 Does she have any idea how
01:12:36 How could she do this to me?
01:12:39 Oh, and you too, Ben, naturally.
01:12:42 Okay, I called up all the guests
01:12:44 that the wedding may be canceled--
01:12:46 postponed with extreme prejudice.
01:12:51 I'll be right in there.
01:12:52 Try her cellphone again.
01:12:55 My speed dial tries every two minutes.
01:12:59 It's probably just pre-wedding jitters.
01:13:02 I know I was really nervous
01:13:05 Of course, that wouldn't
01:13:08 It's not jitters.
01:13:10 She just doesn't want
01:13:12 who's totally unaware
01:13:15 Oh, no, dear. If that were true,
01:13:19 I'm calling in the state troopers.
01:13:22 I'm surprised she doesn't have
01:13:24 one of those GPS deals
01:13:27 so you could locate her
01:13:30 My God, of course she does.
01:13:32 - You're a genius!
01:13:35 If you're calling security, tell them
01:13:54 Wait for it.
01:14:03 It could be cooler.
01:14:05 Oh, my God.
01:14:07 - What?
01:14:09 Get out of the way.
01:14:14 The lamé, get rid of the lamé!
01:14:40 All right, gentlemen, focus.
01:14:42 Tenors, little more to your left.
01:14:44 Get in places, and remember,
01:14:49 Okay.
01:14:52 Ted?
01:14:53 What are you doing here,
01:14:56 these nice lesbians
01:14:58 I love you.
01:15:01 I love you so much, and I don't
01:15:09 I love you too.
01:15:14 - But... I'm not ready to get married.
01:15:17 I just, uh, you know, moving in
01:15:20 I know.
01:15:21 - Just give me some time.
01:15:24 I am Mr. Time. I'll give you
01:15:26 - How much time do you need?
01:15:28 - What?
01:15:30 I just, uh... in time.
01:15:32 Okay? Maybe... maybe
01:15:38 Okay, not that kind of sign.
01:15:41 - Okay.
01:15:46 Wow. This is gonna be beautiful.
01:15:49 It sure is.
01:15:51 Ben and Maggie
01:15:55 Maggie!
01:16:03 Let's jump in my car right here!
01:16:07 Who's driving this van?
01:16:23 Maggie.
01:16:26 Ben, wha--
01:16:28 The GPS on your cellphone.
01:16:30 Only you've been moving around a lot--
01:16:34 Listen, sweetheart,
01:16:36 I know I've been an idiot,
01:16:40 Ben, I-I don't want to get married
01:16:43 until it's a happy occasion
01:16:46 And I don't know if I'd be happy
01:16:49 who'd take sides
01:16:52 You know, Shel didn't
01:16:55 You let him down by not accepting it.
01:16:58 But I do accept it. I get it now.
01:17:00 Okay, I really want
01:17:02 but you're gonna have to
01:17:04 Okay, okay. When you called off
01:17:07 I knew that I had screwed up
01:17:10 And then it hit me:
01:17:12 that's what I have been trying
01:17:14 Right now, he and I
01:17:18 And I swear to you,
01:17:20 begging you for forgiveness,
01:17:23 So please,
01:17:27 What-- what-- what plane?
01:17:29 The plane you were taking.
01:17:31 Oh, actually, I was here
01:17:34 But she missed her flight,
01:17:36 'cause I no longer
01:17:39 Ben, even if Shel forgives you,
01:17:46 - We can't get married like this.
01:17:49 Oh, my God.
01:17:53 Maggie!
01:17:55 Maggie!
01:18:23 - Bonnie, thanks!
01:18:30 - Thanks, girls!
01:18:36 - Oh.
01:18:39 How did you--?
01:18:41 I can't believe it.
01:18:42 - This is what I do, Ben.
01:18:44 I mean, I can't believe you'd do this
01:18:48 I know. When I have time,
01:18:51 but right now,
01:19:21 Wait.
01:19:24 One more thing.
01:19:26 I got the rings.
01:19:38 Wow.
01:19:49 Wait'll you see where she's
01:20:08 Hi.
01:20:13 Second.
01:20:25 We are gathered here to witness
01:20:28 and to celebrate in holy matrimony
01:20:30 the union of Margaret Welling
01:20:33 It's not unusual
01:20:38 It's not unusual
01:20:44 But when I see you
01:20:49 It's not unusual
01:20:51 To see me cry
01:20:53 I wanna die
01:20:57 Ed, there's something
01:20:59 - Mrs. Welling?
01:21:02 Wow.
01:21:03 But when I see you out and about,
01:21:07 If you should ever wanna be
01:21:13 It's not unusual
01:21:15 It happens every day
01:21:17 No matter what they say
01:21:19 I'm gonna throw the bouquet!
01:21:21 You'll find it happens all the time
01:21:24 Come on, you crazy people!
01:21:27 - What you wanna do
01:21:30 Come on, come on, come on!
01:21:31 Why can't this crazy love
01:21:35 Ready?
01:21:37 One!
01:21:38 Two!
01:21:39 It's not unusual
01:21:41 To be mad with anyone
01:21:44 It's not unusual to be sad
01:21:50 But if I ever find that
01:21:55 It's not unusual
01:21:57 To find that I'm in love
01:22:01 Hi. Um, uh, Vern,
01:22:06 lover.
01:22:12 Nice to finally meet you, sir.
01:22:14 Call me Vern.
01:22:15 So, I hear you're a lawyer.
01:22:17 Prosecutor, actually.
01:22:18 Oh. Well, that's good.
01:22:20 I mean, it means
01:22:23 You wouldn't happen
01:22:28 I am so getting laid tonight.
01:22:30 Say yes.
01:22:34 I have been, uh,
01:22:37 to clear the dance floor
01:22:41 So please clear the floor.
01:22:44 Come on, come on.
01:22:54 Ben, the two of us
01:22:57 Need look no more
01:23:02 We both found
01:23:04 What we were looking for
01:23:09 With a friend to call my own
01:23:13 I'll never be alone
01:23:17 And you, my friend, will see
01:23:20 You've got a friend in me
01:23:24 You've got a friend in me
01:23:29 Ben, you're always running
01:23:33 Here and there
01:23:36 You feel you're not wanted
01:23:41 Anywhere
01:23:43 If you ever look behind
01:23:48 Shel, this is so beautiful.
01:23:52 Thank you.
01:23:55 You've got a place to go
01:23:59 - What?
01:24:02 - What do you want? What?
01:24:05 I'm not gonna dance with you.
01:24:06 Dancing with a man
01:24:08 Get away from me!
01:24:10 It doesn't make me uncomfortable.
01:24:13 - I lead.
01:24:14 - I lead!
01:24:21 Ben, most people
