Wedding Every Weekend (2020) - full transcript
Nate and Brooke are going to the same four weddings, four weekends in a row. To avoid set-ups, they go together as "wedding buddies." But what starts as a friendship soon becomes deeper.

-Ginny?
-Mm-hmm?
You sure you don't want
to be doing this with Greg?
We already did his,
at the hardware store.
Seriously?
I get table linens,
he gets
a 20-volt cordless drill...
everybody's happy.
Wow.
Maybe someday you'll be
the one with the registry.
Ah, I can't really
picture Colin
picking out china patterns.
I didn't say
it would be with Colin.
Okay. Not now.
Do we need anything else?
Maybe an espresso machine?
Yes. On it.
Do you know anything
about these?
Not much. Sorry.
Ohh.
Don't worry.
I have it
on good authority
you can register
at the hardware store.
I'm not getting married.
I have a store credit
about to expire.
Gotcha.
These ought to do it.
Okay. I think I'll just
go with this one, then.
Uh...
What?
The platinum one...
it's better.
You can recycle the pods,
it's got a bigger water tank.
So, you do know something
about espresso machines.
I know this much...
having the best espresso machine
doesn't really matter.
It's not gonna make
your relationship any better.
It just makes better coffee.
Oh, well, thank you
for the tip, but I'm...
I'm late for work.
Good luck.
Okay, Mary, I'm gonna stretch
the median nerve, okay?
Ow.
Elbow up...
-Palm up.
...Ow.
I'll give it
a little stretch here.
Ow!
Okay, Mary, you just have
to trust the process.
You know I'm not gonna let
anything bad happen to you.
I know, you've always
taken wonderful care of me.
You know who else
is wonderful?
My nephew.
Did I mention
he's one of the biggest
attorneys in Portland?
You have.
Yep!
Several times.
With a very nice Craftsman,
east of the river.
Did you know that?
I did. Mary.
This has to stop,
because you know
I'm with Dr. Colin.
Yeah. I know.
Hey, Dan?
Oil pan gasket's shot.
Can you call around
the usual dealers?
See if somebody has
an original part?
Sure. What do you want me
to tell Mr. Dow
when he calls,
asking if it's done?
Well, you can tell him
his car is jinxed.
Fine. You just tell him
it's almost impossible
to find original parts
for cars like this these days,
and I'm gonna be working on it
until I'm dead.
Just tell him
I need a couple more days.
Will do.
Oh.
Hey, Dan?
You are so jinxed.
Okay. Uh...
Nate... Thomas?
Mm.
Ha... have we met before?
We have.
-Bureaux.
-Ah.
You were registering
for wedding gifts.
-Yes.
-You were?
No.
Uh, I'm not getting married.
No, that was my best friend.
I'm the maid of honor.
I can get rid
of the espresso machine
if it bothers you.
That's funny.
So why don't we get
to why you're here?
Come on in.
Uh, in your doctor's notes,
it says you've got
a probable...
tsk, ACL sprain?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah? How did you do that?
Slipped on some oil at work.
Ouch. What do you do?
I restore vintage cars.
My grandmother left me
a 1976 Plymouth Valiant.
You want to buy it?
Oh, you know, I'd love to,
but I specialize
in high-end classic cars.
This one has dual faux-
sheepskin seatbelt covers.
Oh! Well, in that case, sold!
-Let's take a look at that knee.
-Yeah.
Just put it up here.
Extend it for me,
where you can.
-Right there?
-Yep.
-Yep, yep.
-Right there?
-Yep.
-Okay.
Yeah, it doesn't feel
too unstable.
I'm thinking
probably twice a week
for six to eight weeks.
Oh.
What?
Well, I just kind of thought
you would put a brace on it
and give me some exercises,
and then I'd do 'em at home.
Ah. Yeah, it doesn't really
work like that.
Well, thank you.
I'm sorry, wait.
You're leaving?
Yeah, I mean, I can't afford
to take that kind of time.
I'll just get a brace
from the drugstore.
Doctor said
it would heal eventually.
Maybe, if you don't do anything
to make it worse,
which is where
physical therapy comes in.
I'll look up
some exercises online.
It's not the same.
-I'm sure it'll be fine.
-Okay.
Wait.
You've already paid.
Why don't you let me just
tape it up for you for the day?
Okay.
Have a seat.
Okay. What this does
is it lifts the skin,
creates a space
between the muscle
and the dermis layers.
That space
releases tension
from the ligament,
which increases blood flow
and speeds healing.
There you go.
-Give that a try.
-Yeah. Wow!
Are there instructions online,
so I can do this at home?
I'm sure there are.
Best of luck. Okay.
Hey! So I was thinking,
maybe we should
do something different
for Saturday night
date night.
Really?
What did you have in mind?
Well, I...
thought we could
try a new pizza place.
I don't know, Colin.
Sounds a little dangerous.
You know me.
I am all about taking risks.
It's gotta be gluten-free,
though.
I'll find a place.
Hey, Brooke! Ginny!
Vicky!
Amanda!
If I knew you were coming.
We should've all come together.
Things have been so crazy,
we weren't sure
we would make it.
Planning a wedding
is like a full-time job.
Tell me about it.
Not to mention buying a home.
That's right!
When do you move in?
We close two days
after our wedding,
which means we're postponing
the honeymoon
and now we can come
to your wedding.
I'm so glad!
-Oh... this is awkward, though.
-What?
One of these masterpieces
was gonna be your present.
We should get food after this.
Absolutely.
Ladies? This way.
We should
probably go and get set up.
Can I ask you a question?
How have I kept
my artistic genius
a secret
all these years?
Yeah...
Well, that, and...
...how did you know
Greg was "the one"?
When I realized
it never once crossed
my mind that he wasn't.
Hmm.
In the beginning,
I thought Colin was.
The beginning
is the easy part.
It's exciting.
You're telling
all your best stories,
you're still discovering
new things about each other.
You haven't found out
that the other person eats
cereal for dinner without milk.
That should've been
my first red flag with him.
The thing is, Brooke,
eventually,
you're gonna have to decide
if the person you're with
is someone you want
to make new stories with.
And if he's not...
you have to let him go.
I just don't want
to get my hopes up
and be disappointed.
I just don't think
I can do that again.
Then don't.
It's almost summer.
Take a vacation from dating.
Stop worrying
about meeting your soulmate
and be your own soulmate
for a while.
Just stop trying?
Yes.
No pressure,
no disappointment.
Just do what makes you happy.
Like being my maid of honor,
for example.
Actually, that does
make me very happy.
Maybe I should wait
to break up with Colin
until after, you know,
all the weddings are done.
You're seriously thinking
of staying with someone just
to avoid the singles' table?
Ah! What am I doing?
Oh! It's okay.
Just do your best,
and if you make a mistake,
just paint over it.
Can I do that in life?
I wish, sister.
Oh! Look at you.
Okay.
We need to talk about
the elephant in the room.
I was thinking
the same thing.
We should go back
to the old place.
I was thinking
we should break up.
Wait. What did you just say?
I'm so sorry, Colin.
But you and I,
we're just, um...
we're not...
right together.
Wow! Okay.
That is a...
much bigger elephant
than I anticipated.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
you were so unhappy.
It's not that I'm unhappy.
It's just...
that, um...
You and I are like...
pineapple
and mushroom.
Which one am I?
-Pineapple.
-Good.
And pineapple and mushroom
are really good on their own,
but, together, they're, um...
doesn't...
work.
Yeah.
I guess you're right.
Well...
I guess it's time
for this delicious pineapple
to find his ham.
You will.
Oh.
Your knee still feeling okay?
Yeah.
You know, it's holding up.
The woman who taped it up
at the PT clinic the other day,
she was pretty incredible.
Oh, was she, now?
Okay, I'm just saying,
I'm glad I can keep working.
There's a guy in Seattle
with a '56 Rolls.
He wants me to rebuild
and restore,
but I got to get
this Mercedes outta here.
Any word on that gasket?
Yeah, I'm working on it.
Oh, yeah,
he's waiting on parts, too.
And it's getting harder
and harder
to find original parts
for these cars.
I know,
but that's what our customers
are paying for, Dan.
Right, but the longer
these cars sit here,
the more money
you're losing.
And all the other
restoration places
are using new parts
built for the old cars.
And they're turning cars around
three times as fast as we are.
I realize that,
but they're not
authentic restorations,
they're Franken-cars.
We rebuild,
from the ground up,
with original parts,
and when we're done,
they look and they sound
and they drive
like the day they rolled
off the assembly line.
I mean, that's...
that's what sets us apart.
Yeah.
That's the business
my dad built
and I promised him I would
keep doing it the same way.
We'll find what we need.
Just gotta keep looking.
Oh!
Hey. Uh...
You still want these?
They were in
the bottom of the drawer.
Yeah.
I can't believe
you have other friends.
Uh, well...
Gretchen is a friend
from when I used to do ballet.
Scott is an old buddy
from college.
Amanda, as you know,
my old roommate.
Vicky and I
went to summer camp.
Nina's a client.
Will was one of
my first customers.
And you know Greg,
one of my oldest friends.
In fact,
I'm in this one.
You're the best man?
Nope. Just "man."
Got off easy.
And the most important
one of them all...
yours.
I guess
I'm gonna have to call everyone
and change all my "plus-ones"
to "just ones."
You're gonna have
such a great summer, Brooke.
I know it.
It'll be so good for you
to stay single.
Only people
in happy relationships say that.
Well, at least now
you're not in an unhappy one.
I know.
I just didn't think
it would be so awkward
between me and Colin
at work.
Well, then one of you needs
to go work somewhere else.
Or this might be
the perfect time
for you to open your own
physical therapy clinic.
Maybe next year.
You said that last year.
Win-ner! Again.
Yeah, I'd feel bad,
except I was always
so much better than you
at real soccer.
It's nice that you have this.
Hey! I forgot to tell you
the good news.
What?
Buying me dinner tonight?
You wish. No.
Ginny's maid of honor
just got out of a relationship.
And?
And... I think you guys
would really hit it off.
Want me to set you up?
No.
No!
Come on, wedding set-ups
are the worst.
Don't!
Do not.
Okay, okay.
She's pretty cool, though.
Yeah, so was Molly,
and then she wasn't.
And I never saw that coming.
Yeah.
-Hi.
-Hi, honey.
Where's Colin?
I thought he'd be here.
Uh...
Sorry, guys,
but Colin and I broke up.
Oh, that's too bad.
My plantar fasciitis
was really acting up.
That's your first reaction?
Okay. Let's go outside.
Well, he was
a nice enough guy,
but I could tell
that he wasn't the one.
Well, why wouldn't
you say something before?
Well, it wasn't my place
to say anything, until now.
You did the right thing.
There you go, love.
Aw, doll.
You are the best.
Aw.
I feel like I'm never
gonna find what you guys have.
Oh, of course you will.
But...
What?
Well, maybe you want to stop
dating for a while,
just take the pressure off.
Well, Ginny literally
just said the same thing.
Well, that Ginny
is a smart cookie.
Maybe you and Ginny are right.
Maybe I should just...
take a break.
The entire summer...
stop worrying about dating,
worrying about
finding my soulmate.
Just...
take care of me.
The summer of Brooke.
Mm.
Yeah!
Yeah, I like that.
I'm gonna do it.
You know what the best
part of "Summer of Brooke" is?
What's that?
You having so much time
to help me.
Well, I'm sure
Greg's helping, too.
Oh, you would think so.
You guys okay?
We're fine.
I just don't want to be
the one in charge
of planning everything
for the rest of our lives.
I want us to be a team.
You are a team.
Wedding planning
just might not be his game.
You're right.
Thank you.
That's what I'm here for.
That,
and quality control.
Okay, just bend
your elbow here.
Okay, Mary, I'm just
going to have you
relax for me
a little bit, and...
So, uh, I still have
your friend Gretchen's wedding
in my calendar
for tomorrow.
Oh. Um...
J-Just putting it out there...
if you need a date, let me know.
I am the king
of the conga lines.
I'm sorry, I...
I just don't think
it's a good idea, Colin.
I'm fine on my own.
Oh.
Well, great.
I just didn't want you stuck
at the old singles' table.
My nephew's free
on Saturday night.
Not now, Mary.
I didn't know
what I was missing
until the moment we met.
And I knew you were my soulmate
when we both declared
our mutual dislike
for having to share
a bucket of popcorn
at the movies.
It really is the worst.
Hi.
Brooke.
Excuse me! Hi.
Could you could do me
a huge favor?
One of our other wedding guests
has a brand new "plus-one"
in her life
that she brought last-minute.
And since you ended up
not bringing your plus-one,
is there a chance
you could switch tables
so that they could sit together?
O-Oh...
uh...
Sure! Why not?
Thank you so much.
And hey, you never know.
Maybe tonight
you'll meet someone special.
That... that is literally
the last thing that I want, so.
Oh.
Oh. Oh, you're at
the singles' table, too.
I just sat a beautiful
young woman over there.
I'm just here for the cake.
Oh.
-Oh...
-What?
Uh...
Hi.
Hi!
What're...
What're you doing here?
I mean, I-I know
what you're doing here.
How do you know
Scott and Gretchen?
I only know Gretchen
from ballet,
when I was a kid. You?
Scott's an old college buddy.
Trade school!
Dartmouth.
Right. Yeah.
Yes... ah!
I just figured,
since you fix cars...
Restore cars.
-Yeah.
-It's a big difference.
I know.
How's the knee?
Fine.
You won't admit
that it still hurts, will you?
And that I was right,
and that you need
physical therapy?
Feels great, actually.
In fact, I taped it up myself.
As per the Internet.
Nailed it.
To the bride and groom!
Thank you.
Which is your favorite?
What's that?
Bread.
I'm a sourdough guy myself.
Well, I guess
if I had to choose,
it would be...
...rosemary.
Excuse me? Sir?
Is there any way
we could
procure
some rosemary bread
for the young lady?
No, no, no, no, no.
That's okay. I'm okay.
I'm okay!
A woman of your beauty
deserves anything she wants.
So, are you friends
with the bride or the groom?
The bride.
Me too!
See? We already
have something in common.
I think this is fate.
That is a...
That's a big word.
Um...
Do you really think so?
I feel it.
Yeah.
Would you like to dance?
I'm sorry to break this
to you, good sir, but...
there's no music.
Yeah, there is.
What's your name?
Wow.
Thank you.
No problem.
Well...
I think I'm gonna go take
a walk around the grounds.
Alone?
Uh, yeah.
Being alone right now
is kind of my... my jam.
Ow!
Okay.
I'm sorry if I gave you
the wrong idea back there,
but I'm really not looking
at meeting anyone.
Not in that way.
Well, that's a relief,
because I'm not either.
In fact,
I'm actively avoiding it.
Oh...
Well, that's good.
Bad breakup?
Something like that.
-You?
-Not bad, just recent.
-Mm.
-Yeah.
Sort of just
taking a break
from relationships, actually.
Just... hittin'
the "pause" button.
Oh, I get that.
Except I hit "stop" button.
Deleted the whole playlist.
Yeah.
Hey, can I walk you back?
Uh... no.
Thank you.
I... I like it out here.
It's peaceful.
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Until the part
you get mauled by a bear.
Okay. There aren't any bears
out here.
Oh.
Oh, my... okay, all right.
Walking back.
Yeah.
Is that a bear?
No, it's probably
just a squirrel.
Ah! That's a bear.
Okay, walk a little faster.
-All right.
-Let's go.
Ah!
-Is that your knee?
-Nope.
Why won't you just admit
that you need help?
Because I don't need help.
I need more tape.
No, what you need
is an MRI.
Yeah, which means surgery,
which means I can't work.
I'm the only one at my shop
who can do the rebuilds.
Taking time off
is not an option.
Can we please just drop it?
Fine. It's your knee.
But, for the record,
you taped it wrong,
and it's gonna get worse.
-Whoa.
-What? What?
Bear?
No.
It's an old Fordson.
From the 1920s.
Look at the workmanship.
Beautiful.
Nothing fancy.
Just good engineering.
Nowadays,
everything is so...
complicated.
Uh, it sounds like
dinner's almost over.
Means it's almost cake time.
That's the best part.
Yeah, it is.
Well.
Thank you...
for, you know,
being my wedding buddy.
Thank you!
It was, uh, unexpected.
Well, take care.
You too.
Be sure to get an MRI.
Not gonna happen.
Mm. Okay.
So what do you think?
Yeah! Thumbs up. It's good.
Don't I get a say?
You told me
to bring Brooke
because if you had it your way,
our wedding dinner
would be a nacho bar.
-And it would be awesome!
-He's not wrong.
It would be awesome.
Oh, you're not helping.
Thank you, Brooke.
My buddy, Edgar,
said the same thing.
Actually,
he's one of my groomsmen.
I think you two
would really hit it off.
Mm-hmm.
Greg!
She's not dating, remember?
She's on a "Summer of Brooke."
-That's right.
-You sure?
He's a great guy.
I have to admit,
I've met him a couple of times,
and he's pretty easy
on the eyes.
Hey!
Only second to you, sweetie.
Thank you,
but every guy that I have dated
has been a great guy,
he's just not the right guy.
So just take me off
your "setup list"
until future notice, okay?
Okay.
Okay, mm-kay.
Thank you.
What's up next?
Mazel tov!
What are you doing here?
What are you
doing here?
Will is one of
my oldest customers.
Nina's one of my clients.
Wait, I didn't see you
at the ceremony.
Yeah. Yeah, I just got here,
actually.
I needed a new shirt.
They left the plastic
shoplifting thingy on it.
Please don't tell me you tried
to get that off yourself.
Okay, I won't tell you that.
Please don't tell me it was
the kind with the dye inside
like they use
for bank robbers?
Okay, I won't
tell you that either.
-No!
-Or that it destroyed
a perfectly good tie...
Oh, no!
Oh!
At least they felt terrible
and gave me a new shirt.
So here I am, little late,
but I got a pretty good excuse.
Oh, Nate.
I don't know
how to tell you this,
but they forgot to take
the shoplifting ta...
What?
Wow. You got me.
Nobody ever gets me.
That's good.
It was too easy.
Yeah.
You look great, though.
Yeah. So do you.
I'm starving.
Yeah.
That always happens to me.
Well, not when you're with
"wedding buddy."
Is that official?
I feel like it has to be.
I don't see why not.
Come on.

I wish they made formal dresses

Mm.
Ooh! Don't look now...
this dude's checking you out.
Who?
The guy that looks like
he handcarves his own furniture,
who recently saved
a struggling bookstore
and writes poetry.
-Wow.
-Like, good poetry.
-All in one?
-Yeah.
Oh.
I'm good.
What?
Not your type?
I meant it last week,
when I told you I was
taking a break from dating,
and honestly,
I love not
having to think about it.
-It's kind of freeing, right?
-Mm-hmm.
I mean, really, you just
have to think about yourself,
your future...
you're all that matters.
Exactly.
And now,
our newlyweds would like
to invite their parents
to dance beside them.
Nina and Will would now
like to invite
all their friends and family
to grab that special someone
and join them
on the dance floor.
Would you care to dance?
I would.
Thank you.
-Again.
-Anytime.
Too bad you're not coming
to my friend Amanda's wedding
next weekend.
I am. I'm friends with Vicky.
What?
No!
Okay, you're definitely not
coming
to the fourth wedding then.
Greg and Ginny.
Greg is one of
my oldest friends from school.
-No!
-I'm in the wedding!
-I'm a groomsman.
-I'm her maid of honor!
-What?
-No, wait.
I've been doing
the seating charts,
and I definitely
haven't seen a "Nate."
Did you see an "Edgar"?
Oh, y...
you're Edgar?
I go by my middle name
for obvious reasons.
Only two people in this world
call me Edgar.
My mother,
when she's angry at me,
and Greg because he knows
how much I love it.
I have to tell you something.
Greg tried to set me up with you
for the wedding.
He did the same thing to me!
-I shut him down so hard!
-So did I.
Perhaps we shouldn't tell them
that we've met.
No! Definitely not.
They'll never let it go.
No.
Hey, have you got a gift
for Vicky and Amanda?
I looked online.
There's nothing left.
I have to go in the store.
Oh!
Where are they registered?
Bureaux.
Of course.
We could meet up
and shop together.
Yeah. If you want.
The first time you met me there,
I was, uh, a little testy.
No!
We didn't know each other then.
Now we're...
Now we're wedding buddies.
I promise not to talk
about espresso machines.
It's a deal.

Another spectacular brunch,

So? Another weekend,
another wedding, huh?
Yeah.
I hope all this isn't
too hard on you emotionally.
Oh, I'm fine.
I got a friend going with me
to all the weddings.
-Yeah.
-Oh!
We're just kind of hanging out.
That's great!
Do I know her?
Uh, him.
And no.
"Him"?
Him who?
There's...
There's a new "him"?
Nope. Not a "new him."
Remember?
I'm taking a break from dating?
It's the summer of Brooke.
It's not even worth
even talking about.
Oh, sweetheart, I think
you've forgotten how this works.
You see, we feed you brunch...
...And you feed us
information.
Hmm?
I'm just gonna
clear the plates real quick.
And then I'm gonna go shopping.
Thank you.
Hey!
-Hi.
-Hi. Sorry I'm late.
That's okay.
I just printed off the registry.
Ah, yes. Did you see the price
on these linens?
I could get them
one pillowcase,
or I could
buy myself a yacht.
Oh, that thing's 300 bucks.
How do you know that?
Wow!
Okay.
Uh, well...
maybe it doubles
as a superhero shield.
Oh...
now it's worth every penny.
You two are so cute.
When's your wedding?
Oh, we're not together.
Nope. Wedding buddies.
Oh.
We are!
She doesn't care.
Well, I do.
Forget about the linens.
Let's, um...
Let's find something.
Yes.
These lowball glasses
are pretty nice.
Still pricey.
Oof!
Well,
maybe we just, uh...
go in on them
together?
Sure.
Thank you.
Is this your car?
No. This is
one of my restorations.
Your customers let you just
take their cars out for a drive?
I gotta take them
for a road test.
One of the parts
I was waiting on forever
finally came in.
The engine's running
smooth as silk.
Well, it's... it's beautiful.
She's beautiful.
You know,
when you talk about a car,
it's a "she."
Oh. Yeah. Right. Of course.
It's like
a whole step back in time.
That's exactly
what my dad used to say
when he finished one.
Oh. I didn't realize
this was a family business.
Yep. He left the whole thing
to me when he retired.
I pretty much just picked up
right where he left off.
Where are your parents now?
Are they still in Portland?
No, they got tired
of the gloomy weather.
Moved to Miami.
Now Dad says all he has to do
is sit out front of the condo,
it's like
a never-ending auto show.
Actually,
that sounds pretty perfect.
You want to get some lunch?
I would love to...
uh, yeah,
but I've got to work.
That must be pretty weird,
working with your ex
every day?
Yep!
Yeah, it's awkward.
I've been looking
at other clinics,
but there's nothing available
at my level,
and if I left,
I'd be taking a pay cut, so.
What about
opening your own clinic?
You been talking to Ginny?
That's what she's been saying.
So what's stopping you?
Tch. Money.
Time.
Fear of failure.
Yeah.
Well, as my dad always said,
"The only way to truly fail
is to never try."
Oh. Interesting.
Like how your knee's gonna fail
because you refuse
to try physical therapy?
Wow!
Walked into that one.
Actually, you limped in.
Oh! You're relentless.
I just care what happens
to my patients.
And that's why you're gonna
succeed in business.
Bye.
So, I was wondering
when you'd be returning
my Oregon State sweatshirt?
Oh, uh, well,
I only wore it that day,
to the football game,
and then I... I gave it back.
Mm...
Ah, it's fine, forget it.
Keep it.
Well, I don't have it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Colin?
If this is the way
that things are gonna be,
I don't think that we can
work together anymore.
Yeah, it has
been pretty awful.
But, you know,
there's no other clinic in town
that can afford
to hire either one of us.
Trust me, I've looked.
Oh. Well...
actually, I don't need
to find another clinic,
because I'm going to open one
on my own.
Really?
You've been talking
about doing that forever.
I didn't think
you'd actually do it.
Well...
I am.
Yeah.
First, I'm gonna make sure
that all of my current clients
are taken care of,
and then, after that...
well,
I guess
it's time to move on.
What did I just do?
Oh.
Hi!
Oh.
No. No. Of course
I won't forget the gift.
Oh, yeah. Sure. Okay.
I will... yeah,
I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Who was that?
Oh, just a friend
I'm going to Vicky and Amanda's
wedding with.
I heard a man's voice.
Did you?
Brooke, I thought
the whole point
was not to jump
into a relationship.
I'm not!
Then who are you going with?
No one!
Just tell me who it is.
Fine!
It's, um...
N... well, it's Nate.
Who's Nate?
Edgar. Edgar.
Greg's Edgar?
-Yeah.
-Are you serious?
Yeah.
Do you know what this is?
This is fate.
I can't wait to tell Greg.
Wait!
How does Nate know Amanda?
He went to summer camp
with Vicky.
This is so exciting.
Tell me everything!
Listen.
There's nothing to tell.
We're just wedding buddies.
We... we're not looking
for anything else.
-Zero pressure.
-Fine.
Zero commitment.
Zero talking about it.
But... Okay.
But we can go together, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure,
we can, uh, go together.
Like a double date?
Like a carpool.
Whatever you want
to call it.
A carpool.
Hi, Ginny!
I was just gonna call you.
Nate's gonna
pick you guys up first,
and then we...
Oh.
Oh. Sorry.
Yeah, no, you guys
should absolutely stay home
if you're not feeling well.
For sure.
Feel better.
Okay.
Talk to you soon.
You ready?
Ready.
Oh... seriously?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh. Come on!
They must've given me
a bad part.
Unbelievable.
It's just one thing
after another with this thing.
Do you think you can fix it?
I don't know, at this point.
But I do know we're gonna
have to leave it here,
take another car
to the wedding.
Well, I'd take my car,
but I left it at the mechanic's.
We could take a cab
back to the shop
and get my car,
but we're gonna miss
some of the ceremony.
I don't want to miss
a minute of the wedding.
Uh...
There is one other option.
Wow.
This car
needs
a lot of work.
And yet,
I'm strangely drawn to it.
Yep!
The tantalizing smell
of vinyl, dust,
and old lady perfume.
Does it run?
As far as I know.
What do you think?
I think we have
a wedding to get to.
I gotta admit,
I'm kinda digging this ride.
-Yeah.
-Listen to that V-8!
I had no idea
how solid this thing was.
Who knew
all of this awesome
was right in front of me
this whole time?
I know, right?
I want to show you something.
This piece of candy
has been in here
for over 30 years,
and I never throw it out.
I don't know, I think
it's strangely comforting,
for some reason.
That's sweet.
And that candy
is definitely not anymore.
Look at that car.
Wow!
Amazing car.
I'm assuming
you're being sarcastic.
Not at all.
Everyone's looking for cars
like this right now.
They're just so... ironic.
The uglier, the better.
Well, well, well,
look at you.
Trendy
and you didn't know it.
I know, right?
Hey, if
you're ever looking to sell,
let me know.
Oh, this is...
it's not...
Hey.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
And now you may kiss.
Thank you so much,
you two.
It was so nice to see you.
We'll see you later, though.
-Bye.
-That was so sweet.
-Ah!
-Hi!
Oh, thank you.
I am so glad
that you could make it.
That ceremony was beautiful.
He cried.
-I didn't cry.
-Just...
Okay, there are
flowers everywhere,
I had allergies.
I cried so hard.
I didn't realize
that you knew Nate.
Or that you knew Brooke.
Do you two
want to sit together?
We can make that happen.
I know the bride.
I do too.
Uh, no. No, no, no.
We don't want to bother you.
It's fine, wherever we are.
We're good.
Okay, great.
Enjoy.
-Okay. We'll see you later.
-Congratulations.
Thank you.
Well, I guess we should go
and find our tables.
Yeah.
I kind of just assumed
we would be
at the singles' table.
Yeah.
Hmm...
Okay, I'm table three.
There you are. Table 12.
Hmm.
I mean, I guess
we could've taken Vicky
and Amanda up on their offer.
Yeah, but I don't want
to bother them...
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-...with that, right now.
We could ask somebody
if they wanted to switch.
-Trade! Yeah.
-Do like, uh...
Sure.
Yeah.
Um, excuse me?
I was just wondering
if there was
any way that my, um...
buddy and I could sit
at the same table?
Okay, oh, I'm sorry,
but I have
specific instructions
to put you
at those specific tables.
Sorry.
Table three.
-Twelve.
-Okay.
Hi. I'm James.
Hi. Brooke.
Amanda thought
we would enjoy sitting together,
since we have
a lot in common.
We do?
You're a physical therapist,
right?
I'm an orthopedic surgeon.
I keep you in business.
And I appreciate that.
Yeah.
I mean, I do prefer
to get my clients to a place
where they don't have to see you
in the first place, but, uh.
Until they stop
doing their exercises,
re-injure themselves,
and decide they want it
fixed for real.
Mm-hmm.
I think
I'm gonna have some bread.
Uh...
Just you know what?
I gotta grab something.
I'll be...
right back.
Why...
Why can we not
come to a wedding
without somebody
trying to set us up?
I mean, I guess
they just want us to be as happy
as they are, but...
Yeah.
Well, it is not that easy.
No! Not by a long shot.
Mm-mm.
I mean, I guess
Greg and Ginny thought
we would get along, but...
Except, I didn't even
want to meet you.
I didn't want to meet anyone.
-No. Yeah.
-So.
Yeah.
I guess this whole
wedding buddy thing then
really worked out for us.
Yeah. Absolutely.
I-I wouldn't change a thing.
No.
Come on in.
I'll show you around.
I realized
that you restored cars,
but I didn't understand
what an artform it is.
Hello!
Hi!
Oh. Dan. Uh, this is Brooke.
Oh. Brooke.
The physical therapist?
And wedding buddy.
Really? Huh!
Well, it's great to meet you,
Brooke.
And thank you so much
for helping out old Nate.
Actually, he won't let me
help him at all.
-What's wrong with you?
-Go away, Dan.
I have to get back
to the office.
I have some, uh,
office-y things to do,
but, uh, you two,
take your time.
Okay.
Thanks, Dan.
Oh!
-You need to get an MRI.
-It's not that bad.
It's not
getting any better either.
I will look after it
when the Mercedes is done.
And the Rolls,
if I get it.
And then...
maybe.
Dan!
Yep?
What time
does your garage open
on Thursday morning?
Nine.
Great.
I will see you at my house
7:30, Thursday morning.
You are doing physical therapy,
whether you like it or not.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Wait, why your house?
Why not the clinic?
Because I quit.
I'm gonna open up
my own office.
That's incredible.
Congratulations.
Why didn't you say something?
Um, because I'm still
kind of processing it.
And when I talk about it,
I get nervous,
and then I start
questioning myself,
and then I wonder if
I've made a huge mistake.
It's not a mistake.
This is you taking charge
of your own future.
I'm happy for you.
Thank you.
I still have to get a loan
and find a space.
Ah.
But in the meantime,
I can see clients privately
from home.
Like you.
Mm-hmm.
Thursday...
7:30.
I'll be there.
What's wrong?
Uh, Jim Fletcher
got the Rolls job.
You're kidding me.
The guy uses new parts!
It won't even be
an authentic restoration.
The car's owner doesn't want
to wait months
for everything to come in.
The harder it is
to find originals,
the longer
every other job takes.
You don't have the turnover.
Pretty soon...
Can't keep everybody working.
Something's
got to change, Nate.
You can't keep going like this.
Or like that.
Thank you, guys, for brunch.
Oh, anytime, honey.
You know, this really is
a beautiful part of town.
We should come here more.
Oh, look.
There's a space for rent.
Is that so?
Why, you know, this looks like
the perfect location
for a small medical office.
Wow...
Yeah, real subtle, guys.
Did you take me out to brunch
at the Pearl District
to lure me here?
"Lure?"
Oh, no, that's a strong word.
I think "happened upon,
on purpose" is better.
Do you know
what I think this is?
A fantastic
investment opportunity.
Do you guys seriously
really want to invest?
Of course we do.
Thank you.
I appreciate that, I do.
I, um...
I think this is something
that I got to do on my own.
Well...
I can see
that the "Summer of Brooke"
is really doing you good.
It is.
You're looking
at least ten grand.
You can't be serious.
Well, I can do
a temporary repair for less,
but this roof?
It won't last long.
Or I could just
keep using the buckets.
You could, but there's
no guarantee it won't get worse.
I'll just have
to take my chances.
Hang onto this just in case.
Thank you.
Nate. Hey.
Hi!
Is it not a good time?
Oh, no.
Oh, Brooke, I'm so sorry.
I can't believe
I'm using my "rainy day" fund
for actual rain.
What are you going to do?
Buy bigger buckets.
Hey, you don't have
to work on my knee today.
I can come back.
No. No, it's okay.
I'm really glad you're here.
Me too.
That should do it.
Thank you for this.
Hopefully, it'll get me through
a whole round of golf.
Well, a day at the spa
sounds like way more fun.
Oh, really?
Agree to disagree.
Oh.
Hello?
Oh. Uh...
Okay.
Well, will you be open
by four?
Okay.
What's up?
That was the country club.
A tree fell on the power line
and they're closed all day.
Well, I guess that means
golf is out, too.
No, that's okay.
I-I understand.
Yeah, it is a lot of people,
last minute.
Okay. Thanks.
Any luck?
Nope.
-Courses are all booked.
-Same with the spas.
Maybe we try to find
something for everyone
to do together.
You mean, like,
combine the parties?
Yeah, it's called
a "Jack and Jill."
I went to one last year,
we went to an escape room.
It was a blast.
I literally saw a couple
break off their engagement
after an hour
in one of those, so...
No escape room.
Mm-hmm.
Hang on.
Outdoor activities, Portland,
bachelor, bachelorette.
You think they'll go for it?
Only one way to find out.
One Mississippi,
two Mississippi,
three Mississippi...
That's what I'm talking about!
How's your knee holding up?
You tell me.
I'm coming for you.
I'll be here.
All right, blue team,
look alive, here we go!
I'm counting on you!
One Mississippi,
two Mississippi,
three Mississippi...
Oh!
Oh!
Yeah! Whoo!
Well, your knee
seems to be holding up...
but you might want
to get your arm checked out.
Yeah, Edgar.
Maybe stick to Foosball.
Oh, be nice, sweetie.
Always!
Brooke, I'm having
so much fun.
Way better than a spa day.
Not that it wasn't a good idea.
It's way more fun,
and I have to give Nate
the credit.
It was his idea.
Nate, if I could have
a second best man,
that would be you.
Yeah?
You know what I mean.
I'm open! I'm open!
-Nate!
-Ahh...
You good?
Yeah.
-You okay?
-I'm okay. I just slipped.
All right. No!
Let's get ice. Ice.
Grab some ice.
You can tell me
how dumb I am
for not fixing my knee.
I'm not gonna tell you that,
but promise me you'll come
for physical therapy tomorrow.
Definitely.
Okay, sit here.
Okay.
Okay...
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh.
They're watching us.
Hey, you want to really
mess with them?
Sure.
I think they bought it.
It's pretty convincing.
Yeah.
Kind of even felt real.
I should get back in the game.
Ahem. Yeah.
I guess I'll just stay here
and...
ice my knee.
Yeah, just...
and just put your hand
right there.
Okay.
-Easy. Easy!
-Oh, ho, ho, ho!
Don't get excited.
I was just messing with...
We were messing with you!
Oh, yeah. Sure.
Brooke, you know, the best
wedding present I could get
would be to for you
find true love.
Okay.
Hi there.
This is Brooke Ethridge.
Sorry to call so late,
but, um...
...you were right,
and I'm ready to fix the roof,
so if you're still available
this weekend,
that would be great.
Okay.
I think
it's the universe telling me
I shouldn't go into business.
Why? Why, why?
Because I have to use
the money for the loan
to fix the roof.
I am so sorry.
What can I do?
Nothing.
But while you're here,
I should get you that brace.
Oh.
Can't you just tape it up?
Tape's not
gonna cut it anymore.
Hey. Do you remember,
at Vicky and Amanda's wedding,
we pulled in,
there was a guy
who loved the car?
Mm-hmm?
Well, he gave me his number,
and he said, if you ever
wanted to sell it,
give him a call.
I just texted him
and he's interested.
I mean, only if you are.
Do you think he'll offer me
enough to pay for the roof?
I think,
if I fix up the car for him...
...maybe.
I can't pay you for that.
Don't have to.
We're bartering.
You help me with the knee,
I fix up the car.
Well, then I guess
it was meant to be.
Okay. Just texted the guy.
He's gonna be here
in a couple minutes.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm just, um...
Don't want to get my hopes up.
Well, I'll tell you this much...
when you drove this thing in,
Dan asked if could buy it,
on the spot.
You're gonna be okay.
Okay.
Is that your dad?
Yep.
It's sweet.
He must be
really proud of you.
Yeah.
I think he is.
But, uh, business is changing.
I'm not sure
I'm gonna be able
to keep running it
the way he did.
What about your parents?
Also retired.
Annoyingly happy.
Yeah?
You haven't seen two people
more in love.
Yeah.
They have fun together.
They laugh together.
They're each other's
biggest supporters.
They're just...
best friends.
That's nice to hear.
I haven't had
a whole lot of luck
in the marriage department.
Oh, you were married?
We were engaged for a year.
And then...
two months before the wedding,
she told me that she hated
Portland weather,
and she wanted
to move to Arizona
to be closer to her family,
and she had already
gotten me a job,
uh, managing the body shop
at her father's car dealership.
Ooh.
Ooh...
Yeah, well, for starters,
you would've hated that job, so.
See, you've only known me
a month
and you realize that.
Kingston!
-Hey! Good to see you.
-Hey.
There she is.
I am so excited about this.
So I'm thinking 10 grand
for the car,
and another 10
for the retro-mod?
What's a "retro-mod"?
Oh, uh, well,
that's keeping a classic car
old-looking on the outside,
but fitting it
with a modern engine,
technology, air conditioning.
It's, um, like a new car
inside an old one.
That sounds like a great idea.
Yeah, well,
there's a huge market.
Yeah, it's not one of
the services that I offer.
Bummer.
Maybe we can make an exception
just this once.
What?
Yeah, I think
you should do it.
Just this once.
-You're sure?
-I am, yep.
Thank you.
So, 10,000 for the car?
Well, uh, it's worth 11,500.
10,500.
11,000, all cash,
and you have a deal.
Done.
I'm gonna go to the bank
and be back
in about an hour.
Okay.
Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
Thank you.
That was impressive.
My dad used to be a lawyer,
he told me never
to accept the first offer.
Mm, that's too bad,
because I was actually gonna
offer you a ride
to the rehearsal dinner.
Oh.
Well, maybe, for you,
I'll have to make an exception.
That's the story
they love telling
to embarrass us.
Look who it is.
We'll be right back, all right?
Oh! Well, you two look nice.
Thank you.
And you both came together.
Interesting.
Yeah, we just thought it would
be easier to take the same car.
Better for the environment.
Is that so?
Yeah!
I haven't seen you smile
this much in years, Edgar.
Probably because I'm thinking
about the time in college,
you tried to start
a boy band.
Lies!
That's not a lie!
Well, this changes everything!
The wedding's off.
Oh. I'm sorry, Nate.
I didn't mean to bring up...
It's okay.
It's okay.
First of all,
we'd like to thank
Greg's parents,
Jim and Martha,
for hosting today.
Whoo!
And...
I want to thank
my amazing fiancée,
who's been working non-stop
to make our wedding weekend
absolutely perfect.
I mean, she did
all the heavy lifting.
All I have to do
is show up in a tux
and say "I do."
Thanks, Gin.
To friends,
family,
and the future.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Ginny!
What's wrong?
Why are you so upset?
Because...
you seem so happy
that you didn't have to do
any of the work.
Is this how it's gonna be
for the rest of our lives?
Well, I would've helped more,
but every time
I suggested something,
you shot it down.
Oh, you mean like
hiring a Metallica cover band
to play at the reception?
I wasn't being serious!
That's the problem.
You don't
take of this seriously.
Hey.
You okay?
I just completely
lost it on Greg.
What's wrong with me?
Nothing.
It is normal to have nerves
the night before
your entire life
is about to change.
He loves you, Ginny.
He just wants you to be happy.
That's all he's doing
with these wedding plans.
He wants you to have
the wedding of your dreams.
You're right.
And now I messed it all up.
He probably doesn't even
want to marry me now.
Of course he does.
There is no one
that belongs together
more than you two.
Except maybe you and Nate.
I'm gonna go get Greg.
Okay?
Thanks, B.
Yeah.
I feel like,
no matter what I say,
I can't win.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe I'm not meant
to be married after all.
Yeah.
Yeah, you should definitely
go back to being single.
Being single, you only
have to think about yourself.
You don't have somebody
telling you what to do.
It's freedom!
I wouldn't give up being single
again for anything...
...except
what you and Ginny have.
Come on,
you guys are best friends.
You make each other laugh.
You're soulmates.
And yeah, the stress got to her
for a second...
it's gonna happen.
But now there's something
you can to help.
You can go back in there
and you can tell her
how much you love her.
And that you can't wait
to marry her.
'Cause I think we both know
you can never do better.
I really can't wait.
Yeah. Good. Don't tell me.
Go tell her.
Okay?
Okay, okay. Mwah.
Well...
looks like all is well.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just have a lot of things
to do before tomorrow.
Maid-of-honor stuff.
I can help.
Uh, no thanks.
I'm okay on my own.
Okay.
I mean, that's what this summer
was supposed to be, right?
Just letting myself
be on my own...
...and I, uh,
I haven't done that.
I'm not doing that,
so, um...
What are you...
What are you saying?
I'm saying that...
I'm really glad that we became
wedding buddies...
I just...
I think that I should focus
on my business now.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean,
the summer was...
but, you know, I gotta...
I gotta focus on my... stuff.
I mean,
I'm sure you'll be fine.
You have the whole
"retro-mod" thing.
Yeah, I just did it
that one time.
Just to sell your car.
Yeah.
What?
Why do you do that?
You're doing the same thing
with your business
that you do with your knee.
I just don't understand why
you won't do the thing
that will make things better?
I guess I just don't like
people telling me
what they think
I need to do.
Yeah.
I know.
Well, I mean, don't worry.
One more day,
and you won't have to hear it
from me again.
You'll be free.
You ready?
I am so ready.
You look stunning.
Thank you.
Don't forget to bend your knees
and keep your feet flat
so you don't faint.
I won't.
Okay.
I better get out there.
-You're first.
-Oh!
You may kiss the bride.
Whoo!
Hey, look at you two.
Finally hitting
the big leagues, huh?
-Yeah.
-Yep.
Well, when you two finally
make it official, call me.
Hey, you two!
Hi.
How's married life?
So far, perfect.
Hey, thanks
for the awesome glasses.
We'll have you two over
for drinks sometime soon, okay?
Sounds good.
We should go find our table,
but we will see you
at the conga line.
♪ Mm-mm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm!
There it is.
Um, look, I know
it's kind of hard right now,
but I think we should just keep
putting on happy faces.
For Ginny and Greg.
Why wouldn't we be happy?
We had a lot of fun
at the weddings,
and now we're just
moving on with our lives.
Exactly.
Um, we should
go find our seats.
Okay.
Hi.
I'm Brooke Ethridge
and I have been best friends
with Ginny
since we the first day
of seventh grade.
Ginny once told me
to look for someone
you feel inspires you
to write new stories with them.
I asked her how she knew
Greg was the one,
and her answer was simple...
she couldn't possibly imagine
writing those stories
without him.
Greg and Ginny...
...here's to a life
of love
and happiness.
To the beginning
of your beautiful new story.
To the bride and groom.
To the bride and groom!
Thank you.
Be sure to get that MRI.
Good luck with the clinic.
Thank you.
Bye.
Okay. Bye.
Oh, wow.
Oh, this looks incredible.
You've done an amazing job.
You know, I gotta admit,
it's kind of nice
not having to worry
about finding parts.
Yeah? Well, guess what?
It's even nicer
not having to worry
about finding new business.
What do you mean?
I got a list a mile long
of these.
Just say the word.
Okay.
Yes!
Time to move on.
Yes!
And I just wanted
to thank you all
for coming to the grand opening
of Ethridge Physical Therapy.
Whoo-hoo!
I am so proud of you.
Thank you.
I am proud of me, too.
But something's missing. Right?
Or someone?
It just wasn't
meant to be, Ginny.
I still don't get it.
You two were fine
at the barbecue.
What changed?
I overheard him talking to you
after your fight with Ginny.
All he could say
was how happy he was
that his life was single,
and that's fine.
But that's all I needed to hear.
Brooke.
I say this
as your best-friend-in-law...
you messed up.
I can't believe
I pushed him away.
I ruined everything.
Then fix it.
Go and talk to him.
I blindsided him.
Just like his fiancée.
Why would he want
to talk to me now?
Hi...
Hi.
What are you doing here?
You still have it?
Come take a look.
I made a little trade
with Kingston.
When I saw it again...
I knew
I couldn't let it go.
It's perfect.
It's still missing
a pretty important part.
A fuzzy seat-belt cover?
This is why you came here?
To show me the car?
I heard that you fix people
who are in pain.
Your knee?
I'm so sorry, Nate.
I overheard you talking to Greg
about how happy
you were being single and free
and I thought
I had to let you go.
What about
all the other stuff that I said?
I only found out
about that today.
I am sorry
for pushing you away.
All this time.
I...
I didn't know.
It's a good thing we know
how to put things back together.
If you want to...
I love you.
Congrats, man.
You did it, Edgar!

-Ginny?
-Mm-hmm?
You sure you don't want
to be doing this with Greg?
We already did his,
at the hardware store.
Seriously?
I get table linens,
he gets
a 20-volt cordless drill...
everybody's happy.
Wow.
Maybe someday you'll be
the one with the registry.
Ah, I can't really
picture Colin
picking out china patterns.
I didn't say
it would be with Colin.
Okay. Not now.
Do we need anything else?
Maybe an espresso machine?
Yes. On it.
Do you know anything
about these?
Not much. Sorry.
Ohh.
Don't worry.
I have it
on good authority
you can register
at the hardware store.
I'm not getting married.
I have a store credit
about to expire.
Gotcha.
These ought to do it.
Okay. I think I'll just
go with this one, then.
Uh...
What?
The platinum one...
it's better.
You can recycle the pods,
it's got a bigger water tank.
So, you do know something
about espresso machines.
I know this much...
having the best espresso machine
doesn't really matter.
It's not gonna make
your relationship any better.
It just makes better coffee.
Oh, well, thank you
for the tip, but I'm...
I'm late for work.
Good luck.
Okay, Mary, I'm gonna stretch
the median nerve, okay?
Ow.
Elbow up...
-Palm up.
...Ow.
I'll give it
a little stretch here.
Ow!
Okay, Mary, you just have
to trust the process.
You know I'm not gonna let
anything bad happen to you.
I know, you've always
taken wonderful care of me.
You know who else
is wonderful?
My nephew.
Did I mention
he's one of the biggest
attorneys in Portland?
You have.
Yep!
Several times.
With a very nice Craftsman,
east of the river.
Did you know that?
I did. Mary.
This has to stop,
because you know
I'm with Dr. Colin.
Yeah. I know.
Hey, Dan?
Oil pan gasket's shot.
Can you call around
the usual dealers?
See if somebody has
an original part?
Sure. What do you want me
to tell Mr. Dow
when he calls,
asking if it's done?
Well, you can tell him
his car is jinxed.
Fine. You just tell him
it's almost impossible
to find original parts
for cars like this these days,
and I'm gonna be working on it
until I'm dead.
Just tell him
I need a couple more days.
Will do.
Oh.
Hey, Dan?
You are so jinxed.
Okay. Uh...
Nate... Thomas?
Mm.
Ha... have we met before?
We have.
-Bureaux.
-Ah.
You were registering
for wedding gifts.
-Yes.
-You were?
No.
Uh, I'm not getting married.
No, that was my best friend.
I'm the maid of honor.
I can get rid
of the espresso machine
if it bothers you.
That's funny.
So why don't we get
to why you're here?
Come on in.
Uh, in your doctor's notes,
it says you've got
a probable...
tsk, ACL sprain?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah? How did you do that?
Slipped on some oil at work.
Ouch. What do you do?
I restore vintage cars.
My grandmother left me
a 1976 Plymouth Valiant.
You want to buy it?
Oh, you know, I'd love to,
but I specialize
in high-end classic cars.
This one has dual faux-
sheepskin seatbelt covers.
Oh! Well, in that case, sold!
-Let's take a look at that knee.
-Yeah.
Just put it up here.
Extend it for me,
where you can.
-Right there?
-Yep.
-Yep, yep.
-Right there?
-Yep.
-Okay.
Yeah, it doesn't feel
too unstable.
I'm thinking
probably twice a week
for six to eight weeks.
Oh.
What?
Well, I just kind of thought
you would put a brace on it
and give me some exercises,
and then I'd do 'em at home.
Ah. Yeah, it doesn't really
work like that.
Well, thank you.
I'm sorry, wait.
You're leaving?
Yeah, I mean, I can't afford
to take that kind of time.
I'll just get a brace
from the drugstore.
Doctor said
it would heal eventually.
Maybe, if you don't do anything
to make it worse,
which is where
physical therapy comes in.
I'll look up
some exercises online.
It's not the same.
-I'm sure it'll be fine.
-Okay.
Wait.
You've already paid.
Why don't you let me just
tape it up for you for the day?
Okay.
Have a seat.
Okay. What this does
is it lifts the skin,
creates a space
between the muscle
and the dermis layers.
That space
releases tension
from the ligament,
which increases blood flow
and speeds healing.
There you go.
-Give that a try.
-Yeah. Wow!
Are there instructions online,
so I can do this at home?
I'm sure there are.
Best of luck. Okay.
Hey! So I was thinking,
maybe we should
do something different
for Saturday night
date night.
Really?
What did you have in mind?
Well, I...
thought we could
try a new pizza place.
I don't know, Colin.
Sounds a little dangerous.
You know me.
I am all about taking risks.
It's gotta be gluten-free,
though.
I'll find a place.
Hey, Brooke! Ginny!
Vicky!
Amanda!
If I knew you were coming.
We should've all come together.
Things have been so crazy,
we weren't sure
we would make it.
Planning a wedding
is like a full-time job.
Tell me about it.
Not to mention buying a home.
That's right!
When do you move in?
We close two days
after our wedding,
which means we're postponing
the honeymoon
and now we can come
to your wedding.
I'm so glad!
-Oh... this is awkward, though.
-What?
One of these masterpieces
was gonna be your present.
We should get food after this.
Absolutely.
Ladies? This way.
We should
probably go and get set up.
Can I ask you a question?
How have I kept
my artistic genius
a secret
all these years?
Yeah...
Well, that, and...
...how did you know
Greg was "the one"?
When I realized
it never once crossed
my mind that he wasn't.
Hmm.
In the beginning,
I thought Colin was.
The beginning
is the easy part.
It's exciting.
You're telling
all your best stories,
you're still discovering
new things about each other.
You haven't found out
that the other person eats
cereal for dinner without milk.
That should've been
my first red flag with him.
The thing is, Brooke,
eventually,
you're gonna have to decide
if the person you're with
is someone you want
to make new stories with.
And if he's not...
you have to let him go.
I just don't want
to get my hopes up
and be disappointed.
I just don't think
I can do that again.
Then don't.
It's almost summer.
Take a vacation from dating.
Stop worrying
about meeting your soulmate
and be your own soulmate
for a while.
Just stop trying?
Yes.
No pressure,
no disappointment.
Just do what makes you happy.
Like being my maid of honor,
for example.
Actually, that does
make me very happy.
Maybe I should wait
to break up with Colin
until after, you know,
all the weddings are done.
You're seriously thinking
of staying with someone just
to avoid the singles' table?
Ah! What am I doing?
Oh! It's okay.
Just do your best,
and if you make a mistake,
just paint over it.
Can I do that in life?
I wish, sister.
Oh! Look at you.
Okay.
We need to talk about
the elephant in the room.
I was thinking
the same thing.
We should go back
to the old place.
I was thinking
we should break up.
Wait. What did you just say?
I'm so sorry, Colin.
But you and I,
we're just, um...
we're not...
right together.
Wow! Okay.
That is a...
much bigger elephant
than I anticipated.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
you were so unhappy.
It's not that I'm unhappy.
It's just...
that, um...
You and I are like...
pineapple
and mushroom.
Which one am I?
-Pineapple.
-Good.
And pineapple and mushroom
are really good on their own,
but, together, they're, um...
doesn't...
work.
Yeah.
I guess you're right.
Well...
I guess it's time
for this delicious pineapple
to find his ham.
You will.
Oh.
Your knee still feeling okay?
Yeah.
You know, it's holding up.
The woman who taped it up
at the PT clinic the other day,
she was pretty incredible.
Oh, was she, now?
Okay, I'm just saying,
I'm glad I can keep working.
There's a guy in Seattle
with a '56 Rolls.
He wants me to rebuild
and restore,
but I got to get
this Mercedes outta here.
Any word on that gasket?
Yeah, I'm working on it.
Oh, yeah,
he's waiting on parts, too.
And it's getting harder
and harder
to find original parts
for these cars.
I know,
but that's what our customers
are paying for, Dan.
Right, but the longer
these cars sit here,
the more money
you're losing.
And all the other
restoration places
are using new parts
built for the old cars.
And they're turning cars around
three times as fast as we are.
I realize that,
but they're not
authentic restorations,
they're Franken-cars.
We rebuild,
from the ground up,
with original parts,
and when we're done,
they look and they sound
and they drive
like the day they rolled
off the assembly line.
I mean, that's...
that's what sets us apart.
Yeah.
That's the business
my dad built
and I promised him I would
keep doing it the same way.
We'll find what we need.
Just gotta keep looking.
Oh!
Hey. Uh...
You still want these?
They were in
the bottom of the drawer.
Yeah.
I can't believe
you have other friends.
Uh, well...
Gretchen is a friend
from when I used to do ballet.
Scott is an old buddy
from college.
Amanda, as you know,
my old roommate.
Vicky and I
went to summer camp.
Nina's a client.
Will was one of
my first customers.
And you know Greg,
one of my oldest friends.
In fact,
I'm in this one.
You're the best man?
Nope. Just "man."
Got off easy.
And the most important
one of them all...
yours.
I guess
I'm gonna have to call everyone
and change all my "plus-ones"
to "just ones."
You're gonna have
such a great summer, Brooke.
I know it.
It'll be so good for you
to stay single.
Only people
in happy relationships say that.
Well, at least now
you're not in an unhappy one.
I know.
I just didn't think
it would be so awkward
between me and Colin
at work.
Well, then one of you needs
to go work somewhere else.
Or this might be
the perfect time
for you to open your own
physical therapy clinic.
Maybe next year.
You said that last year.
Win-ner! Again.
Yeah, I'd feel bad,
except I was always
so much better than you
at real soccer.
It's nice that you have this.
Hey! I forgot to tell you
the good news.
What?
Buying me dinner tonight?
You wish. No.
Ginny's maid of honor
just got out of a relationship.
And?
And... I think you guys
would really hit it off.
Want me to set you up?
No.
No!
Come on, wedding set-ups
are the worst.
Don't!
Do not.
Okay, okay.
She's pretty cool, though.
Yeah, so was Molly,
and then she wasn't.
And I never saw that coming.
Yeah.
-Hi.
-Hi, honey.
Where's Colin?
I thought he'd be here.
Uh...
Sorry, guys,
but Colin and I broke up.
Oh, that's too bad.
My plantar fasciitis
was really acting up.
That's your first reaction?
Okay. Let's go outside.
Well, he was
a nice enough guy,
but I could tell
that he wasn't the one.
Well, why wouldn't
you say something before?
Well, it wasn't my place
to say anything, until now.
You did the right thing.
There you go, love.
Aw, doll.
You are the best.
Aw.
I feel like I'm never
gonna find what you guys have.
Oh, of course you will.
But...
What?
Well, maybe you want to stop
dating for a while,
just take the pressure off.
Well, Ginny literally
just said the same thing.
Well, that Ginny
is a smart cookie.
Maybe you and Ginny are right.
Maybe I should just...
take a break.
The entire summer...
stop worrying about dating,
worrying about
finding my soulmate.
Just...
take care of me.
The summer of Brooke.
Mm.
Yeah!
Yeah, I like that.
I'm gonna do it.
You know what the best
part of "Summer of Brooke" is?
What's that?
You having so much time
to help me.
Well, I'm sure
Greg's helping, too.
Oh, you would think so.
You guys okay?
We're fine.
I just don't want to be
the one in charge
of planning everything
for the rest of our lives.
I want us to be a team.
You are a team.
Wedding planning
just might not be his game.
You're right.
Thank you.
That's what I'm here for.
That,
and quality control.
Okay, just bend
your elbow here.
Okay, Mary, I'm just
going to have you
relax for me
a little bit, and...
So, uh, I still have
your friend Gretchen's wedding
in my calendar
for tomorrow.
Oh. Um...
J-Just putting it out there...
if you need a date, let me know.
I am the king
of the conga lines.
I'm sorry, I...
I just don't think
it's a good idea, Colin.
I'm fine on my own.
Oh.
Well, great.
I just didn't want you stuck
at the old singles' table.
My nephew's free
on Saturday night.
Not now, Mary.
I didn't know
what I was missing
until the moment we met.
And I knew you were my soulmate
when we both declared
our mutual dislike
for having to share
a bucket of popcorn
at the movies.
It really is the worst.
Hi.
Brooke.
Excuse me! Hi.
Could you could do me
a huge favor?
One of our other wedding guests
has a brand new "plus-one"
in her life
that she brought last-minute.
And since you ended up
not bringing your plus-one,
is there a chance
you could switch tables
so that they could sit together?
O-Oh...
uh...
Sure! Why not?
Thank you so much.
And hey, you never know.
Maybe tonight
you'll meet someone special.
That... that is literally
the last thing that I want, so.
Oh.
Oh. Oh, you're at
the singles' table, too.
I just sat a beautiful
young woman over there.
I'm just here for the cake.
Oh.
-Oh...
-What?
Uh...
Hi.
Hi!
What're...
What're you doing here?
I mean, I-I know
what you're doing here.
How do you know
Scott and Gretchen?
I only know Gretchen
from ballet,
when I was a kid. You?
Scott's an old college buddy.
Trade school!
Dartmouth.
Right. Yeah.
Yes... ah!
I just figured,
since you fix cars...
Restore cars.
-Yeah.
-It's a big difference.
I know.
How's the knee?
Fine.
You won't admit
that it still hurts, will you?
And that I was right,
and that you need
physical therapy?
Feels great, actually.
In fact, I taped it up myself.
As per the Internet.
Nailed it.
To the bride and groom!
Thank you.
Which is your favorite?
What's that?
Bread.
I'm a sourdough guy myself.
Well, I guess
if I had to choose,
it would be...
...rosemary.
Excuse me? Sir?
Is there any way
we could
procure
some rosemary bread
for the young lady?
No, no, no, no, no.
That's okay. I'm okay.
I'm okay!
A woman of your beauty
deserves anything she wants.
So, are you friends
with the bride or the groom?
The bride.
Me too!
See? We already
have something in common.
I think this is fate.
That is a...
That's a big word.
Um...
Do you really think so?
I feel it.
Yeah.
Would you like to dance?
I'm sorry to break this
to you, good sir, but...
there's no music.
Yeah, there is.
What's your name?
Wow.
Thank you.
No problem.
Well...
I think I'm gonna go take
a walk around the grounds.
Alone?
Uh, yeah.
Being alone right now
is kind of my... my jam.
Ow!
Okay.
I'm sorry if I gave you
the wrong idea back there,
but I'm really not looking
at meeting anyone.
Not in that way.
Well, that's a relief,
because I'm not either.
In fact,
I'm actively avoiding it.
Oh...
Well, that's good.
Bad breakup?
Something like that.
-You?
-Not bad, just recent.
-Mm.
-Yeah.
Sort of just
taking a break
from relationships, actually.
Just... hittin'
the "pause" button.
Oh, I get that.
Except I hit "stop" button.
Deleted the whole playlist.
Yeah.
Hey, can I walk you back?
Uh... no.
Thank you.
I... I like it out here.
It's peaceful.
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Until the part
you get mauled by a bear.
Okay. There aren't any bears
out here.
Oh.
Oh, my... okay, all right.
Walking back.
Yeah.
Is that a bear?
No, it's probably
just a squirrel.
Ah! That's a bear.
Okay, walk a little faster.
-All right.
-Let's go.
Ah!
-Is that your knee?
-Nope.
Why won't you just admit
that you need help?
Because I don't need help.
I need more tape.
No, what you need
is an MRI.
Yeah, which means surgery,
which means I can't work.
I'm the only one at my shop
who can do the rebuilds.
Taking time off
is not an option.
Can we please just drop it?
Fine. It's your knee.
But, for the record,
you taped it wrong,
and it's gonna get worse.
-Whoa.
-What? What?
Bear?
No.
It's an old Fordson.
From the 1920s.
Look at the workmanship.
Beautiful.
Nothing fancy.
Just good engineering.
Nowadays,
everything is so...
complicated.
Uh, it sounds like
dinner's almost over.
Means it's almost cake time.
That's the best part.
Yeah, it is.
Well.
Thank you...
for, you know,
being my wedding buddy.
Thank you!
It was, uh, unexpected.
Well, take care.
You too.
Be sure to get an MRI.
Not gonna happen.
Mm. Okay.
So what do you think?
Yeah! Thumbs up. It's good.
Don't I get a say?
You told me
to bring Brooke
because if you had it your way,
our wedding dinner
would be a nacho bar.
-And it would be awesome!
-He's not wrong.
It would be awesome.
Oh, you're not helping.
Thank you, Brooke.
My buddy, Edgar,
said the same thing.
Actually,
he's one of my groomsmen.
I think you two
would really hit it off.
Mm-hmm.
Greg!
She's not dating, remember?
She's on a "Summer of Brooke."
-That's right.
-You sure?
He's a great guy.
I have to admit,
I've met him a couple of times,
and he's pretty easy
on the eyes.
Hey!
Only second to you, sweetie.
Thank you,
but every guy that I have dated
has been a great guy,
he's just not the right guy.
So just take me off
your "setup list"
until future notice, okay?
Okay.
Okay, mm-kay.
Thank you.
What's up next?
Mazel tov!
What are you doing here?
What are you
doing here?
Will is one of
my oldest customers.
Nina's one of my clients.
Wait, I didn't see you
at the ceremony.
Yeah. Yeah, I just got here,
actually.
I needed a new shirt.
They left the plastic
shoplifting thingy on it.
Please don't tell me you tried
to get that off yourself.
Okay, I won't tell you that.
Please don't tell me it was
the kind with the dye inside
like they use
for bank robbers?
Okay, I won't
tell you that either.
-No!
-Or that it destroyed
a perfectly good tie...
Oh, no!
Oh!
At least they felt terrible
and gave me a new shirt.
So here I am, little late,
but I got a pretty good excuse.
Oh, Nate.
I don't know
how to tell you this,
but they forgot to take
the shoplifting ta...
What?
Wow. You got me.
Nobody ever gets me.
That's good.
It was too easy.
Yeah.
You look great, though.
Yeah. So do you.
I'm starving.
Yeah.
That always happens to me.
Well, not when you're with
"wedding buddy."
Is that official?
I feel like it has to be.
I don't see why not.

Mm.
Ooh! Don't look now...
this dude's checking you out.
Who?
The guy that looks like
he handcarves his own furniture,
who recently saved
a struggling bookstore
and writes poetry.
-Wow.
-Like, good poetry.
-All in one?
-Yeah.
Oh.
I'm good.
What?
Not your type?
I meant it last week,
when I told you I was
taking a break from dating,
and honestly,
I love not
having to think about it.
-It's kind of freeing, right?
-Mm-hmm.
I mean, really, you just
have to think about yourself,
your future...
you're all that matters.
Exactly.
And now,
our newlyweds would like
to invite their parents
to dance beside them.
Nina and Will would now
like to invite
all their friends and family
to grab that special someone
and join them
on the dance floor.
Would you care to dance?
I would.
Thank you.
-Again.
-Anytime.
Too bad you're not coming
to my friend Amanda's wedding
next weekend.
I am. I'm friends with Vicky.
What?
No!
Okay, you're definitely not
coming
to the fourth wedding then.
Greg and Ginny.
Greg is one of
my oldest friends from school.
-No!
-I'm in the wedding!
-I'm a groomsman.
-I'm her maid of honor!
-What?
-No, wait.
I've been doing
the seating charts,
and I definitely
haven't seen a "Nate."
Did you see an "Edgar"?
Oh, y...
you're Edgar?
I go by my middle name
for obvious reasons.
Only two people in this world
call me Edgar.
My mother,
when she's angry at me,
and Greg because he knows
how much I love it.
I have to tell you something.
Greg tried to set me up with you
for the wedding.
He did the same thing to me!
-I shut him down so hard!
-So did I.
Perhaps we shouldn't tell them
that we've met.
No! Definitely not.
They'll never let it go.
No.
Hey, have you got a gift
for Vicky and Amanda?
I looked online.
There's nothing left.
I have to go in the store.
Oh!
Where are they registered?
Bureaux.
Of course.
We could meet up
and shop together.
Yeah. If you want.
The first time you met me there,
I was, uh, a little testy.
No!
We didn't know each other then.
Now we're...
Now we're wedding buddies.
I promise not to talk
about espresso machines.
It's a deal.
♪ Your love is everything
to me ♪
♪ With you
is where I long to be... ♪
This cake is really good.
So good.
♪ ...So don't waste
precious time ♪
♪ And give your love to me
♪ It's easy...
Another spectacular brunch,
love.
So? Another weekend,
another wedding, huh?
Yeah.
I hope all this isn't
too hard on you emotionally.
Oh, I'm fine.
I got a friend going with me
to all the weddings.
-Yeah.
-Oh!
We're just kind of hanging out.
That's great!
Do I know her?
Uh, him.
And no.
"Him"?
Him who?
There's...
There's a new "him"?
Nope. Not a "new him."
Remember?
I'm taking a break from dating?
It's the summer of Brooke.
It's not even worth
even talking about.
Oh, sweetheart, I think
you've forgotten how this works.
You see, we feed you brunch...
...And you feed us
information.
Hmm?
I'm just gonna
clear the plates real quick.
And then I'm gonna go shopping.
Thank you.
Hey!
-Hi.
-Hi. Sorry I'm late.
That's okay.
I just printed off the registry.
Ah, yes. Did you see the price
on these linens?
I could get them
one pillowcase,
or I could
buy myself a yacht.
Oh, that thing's 300 bucks.
How do you know that?
Wow!
Okay.
Uh, well...
maybe it doubles
as a superhero shield.
Oh...
now it's worth every penny.
You two are so cute.
When's your wedding?
Oh, we're not together.
Nope. Wedding buddies.
Oh.
We are!
She doesn't care.
Well, I do.
Forget about the linens.
Let's, um...
Let's find something.
Yes.
These lowball glasses
are pretty nice.
Still pricey.
Oof!
Well,
maybe we just, uh...
go in on them
together?
Sure.
Thank you.
Is this your car?
No. This is
one of my restorations.
Your customers let you just
take their cars out for a drive?
I gotta take them
for a road test.
One of the parts
I was waiting on forever
finally came in.
The engine's running
smooth as silk.
Well, it's... it's beautiful.
She's beautiful.
You know,
when you talk about a car,
it's a "she."
Oh. Yeah. Right. Of course.
It's like
a whole step back in time.
That's exactly
what my dad used to say
when he finished one.
Oh. I didn't realize
this was a family business.
Yep. He left the whole thing
to me when he retired.
I pretty much just picked up
right where he left off.
Where are your parents now?
Are they still in Portland?
No, they got tired
of the gloomy weather.
Moved to Miami.
Now Dad says all he has to do
is sit out front of the condo,
it's like
a never-ending auto show.
Actually,
that sounds pretty perfect.
You want to get some lunch?
I would love to...
uh, yeah,
but I've got to work.
That must be pretty weird,
working with your ex
every day?
Yep!
Yeah, it's awkward.
I've been looking
at other clinics,
but there's nothing available
at my level,
and if I left,
I'd be taking a pay cut, so.
What about
opening your own clinic?
You been talking to Ginny?
That's what she's been saying.
So what's stopping you?
Tch. Money.
Time.
Fear of failure.
Yeah.
Well, as my dad always said,
"The only way to truly fail
is to never try."
Oh. Interesting.
Like how your knee's gonna fail
because you refuse
to try physical therapy?
Wow!
Walked into that one.
Actually, you limped in.
Oh! You're relentless.
I just care what happens
to my patients.
And that's why you're gonna
succeed in business.
Bye.
So, I was wondering
when you'd be returning
my Oregon State sweatshirt?
Oh, uh, well,
I only wore it that day,
to the football game,
and then I... I gave it back.
Mm...
Ah, it's fine, forget it.
Keep it.
Well, I don't have it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Colin?
If this is the way
that things are gonna be,
I don't think that we can
work together anymore.
Yeah, it has
been pretty awful.
But, you know,
there's no other clinic in town
that can afford
to hire either one of us.
Trust me, I've looked.
Oh. Well...
actually, I don't need
to find another clinic,
because I'm going to open one
on my own.
Really?
You've been talking
about doing that forever.
I didn't think
you'd actually do it.
Well...
I am.
Yeah.
First, I'm gonna make sure
that all of my current clients
are taken care of,
and then, after that...
well,
I guess
it's time to move on.
What did I just do?
Oh.
Hi!
Oh.
No. No. Of course
I won't forget the gift.
Oh, yeah. Sure. Okay.
I will... yeah,
I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Who was that?
Oh, just a friend
I'm going to Vicky and Amanda's
wedding with.
I heard a man's voice.
Did you?
Brooke, I thought
the whole point
was not to jump
into a relationship.
I'm not!
Then who are you going with?
No one!
Just tell me who it is.
Fine!
It's, um...
N... well, it's Nate.
Who's Nate?
Edgar. Edgar.
Greg's Edgar?
-Yeah.
-Are you serious?
Yeah.
Do you know what this is?
This is fate.
I can't wait to tell Greg.
Wait!
How does Nate know Amanda?
He went to summer camp
with Vicky.
This is so exciting.
Tell me everything!
Listen.
There's nothing to tell.
We're just wedding buddies.
We... we're not looking
for anything else.
-Zero pressure.
-Fine.
Zero commitment.
Zero talking about it.
But... Okay.
But we can go together, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure,
we can, uh, go together.
Like a double date?
Like a carpool.
Whatever you want
to call it.
A carpool.
Hi, Ginny!
I was just gonna call you.
Nate's gonna
pick you guys up first,
and then we...
Oh.
Oh. Sorry.
Yeah, no, you guys
should absolutely stay home
if you're not feeling well.
For sure.
Feel better.
Okay.
Talk to you soon.
You ready?
Ready.
Oh... seriously?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh. Come on!
They must've given me
a bad part.
Unbelievable.
It's just one thing
after another with this thing.
Do you think you can fix it?
I don't know, at this point.
But I do know we're gonna
have to leave it here,
take another car
to the wedding.
Well, I'd take my car,
but I left it at the mechanic's.
We could take a cab
back to the shop
and get my car,
but we're gonna miss
some of the ceremony.
I don't want to miss
a minute of the wedding.
Uh...
There is one other option.
Wow.
This car
needs
a lot of work.
And yet,
I'm strangely drawn to it.
Yep!
The tantalizing smell
of vinyl, dust,
and old lady perfume.
Does it run?
As far as I know.
What do you think?
I think we have
a wedding to get to.
I gotta admit,
I'm kinda digging this ride.
-Yeah.
-Listen to that V-8!
I had no idea
how solid this thing was.
Who knew
all of this awesome
was right in front of me
this whole time?
I know, right?
I want to show you something.
This piece of candy
has been in here
for over 30 years,
and I never throw it out.
I don't know, I think
it's strangely comforting,
for some reason.
That's sweet.
And that candy
is definitely not anymore.
Look at that car.
Wow!
Amazing car.
I'm assuming
you're being sarcastic.
Not at all.
Everyone's looking for cars
like this right now.
They're just so... ironic.
The uglier, the better.
Well, well, well,
look at you.
Trendy
and you didn't know it.
I know, right?
Hey, if
you're ever looking to sell,
let me know.
Oh, this is...
it's not...
Hey.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
And now you may kiss.
Thank you so much,
you two.
It was so nice to see you.
We'll see you later, though.
-Bye.
-That was so sweet.
-Ah!
-Hi!
Oh, thank you.
I am so glad
that you could make it.
That ceremony was beautiful.
He cried.
-I didn't cry.
-Just...
Okay, there are
flowers everywhere,
I had allergies.
I cried so hard.
I didn't realize
that you knew Nate.
Or that you knew Brooke.
Do you two
want to sit together?
We can make that happen.
I know the bride.
I do too.
Uh, no. No, no, no.
We don't want to bother you.
It's fine, wherever we are.
We're good.
Okay, great.
Enjoy.
-Okay. We'll see you later.
-Congratulations.
Thank you.
Well, I guess we should go
and find our tables.
Yeah.
I kind of just assumed
we would be
at the singles' table.
Yeah.
Hmm...
Okay, I'm table three.
There you are. Table 12.
Hmm.
I mean, I guess
we could've taken Vicky
and Amanda up on their offer.
Yeah, but I don't want
to bother them...
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-...with that, right now.
We could ask somebody
if they wanted to switch.
-Trade! Yeah.
-Do like, uh...
Sure.
Yeah.
Um, excuse me?
I was just wondering
if there was
any way that my, um...
buddy and I could sit
at the same table?
Okay, oh, I'm sorry,
but I have
specific instructions
to put you
at those specific tables.
Sorry.
Table three.
-Twelve.
-Okay.
Hi. I'm James.
Hi. Brooke.
Amanda thought
we would enjoy sitting together,
since we have
a lot in common.
We do?
You're a physical therapist,
right?
I'm an orthopedic surgeon.
I keep you in business.
And I appreciate that.
Yeah.
I mean, I do prefer
to get my clients to a place
where they don't have to see you
in the first place, but, uh.
Until they stop
doing their exercises,
re-injure themselves,
and decide they want it
fixed for real.
Mm-hmm.
I think
I'm gonna have some bread.
Uh...
Just you know what?
I gotta grab something.
I'll be...
right back.
Why...
Why can we not
come to a wedding
without somebody
trying to set us up?
I mean, I guess
they just want us to be as happy
as they are, but...
Yeah.
Well, it is not that easy.
No! Not by a long shot.
Mm-mm.
I mean, I guess
Greg and Ginny thought
we would get along, but...
Except, I didn't even
want to meet you.
I didn't want to meet anyone.
-No. Yeah.
-So.
Yeah.
I guess this whole
wedding buddy thing then
really worked out for us.
Yeah. Absolutely.
I-I wouldn't change a thing.
No.
Come on in.
I'll show you around.
I realized
that you restored cars,
but I didn't understand
what an artform it is.
Hello!
Hi!
Oh. Dan. Uh, this is Brooke.
Oh. Brooke.
The physical therapist?
And wedding buddy.
Really? Huh!
Well, it's great to meet you,
Brooke.
And thank you so much
for helping out old Nate.
Actually, he won't let me
help him at all.
-What's wrong with you?
-Go away, Dan.
I have to get back
to the office.
I have some, uh,
office-y things to do,
but, uh, you two,
take your time.
Okay.
Thanks, Dan.
Oh!
-You need to get an MRI.
-It's not that bad.
It's not
getting any better either.
I will look after it
when the Mercedes is done.
And the Rolls,
if I get it.
And then...
maybe.
Dan!
Yep?
What time
does your garage open
on Thursday morning?
Nine.
Great.
I will see you at my house
7:30, Thursday morning.
You are doing physical therapy,
whether you like it or not.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Wait, why your house?
Why not the clinic?
Because I quit.
I'm gonna open up
my own office.
That's incredible.
Congratulations.
Why didn't you say something?
Um, because I'm still
kind of processing it.
And when I talk about it,
I get nervous,
and then I start
questioning myself,
and then I wonder if
I've made a huge mistake.
It's not a mistake.
This is you taking charge
of your own future.
I'm happy for you.
Thank you.
I still have to get a loan
and find a space.
Ah.
But in the meantime,
I can see clients privately
from home.
Like you.
Mm-hmm.
Thursday...
7:30.
I'll be there.
What's wrong?
Uh, Jim Fletcher
got the Rolls job.
You're kidding me.
The guy uses new parts!
It won't even be
an authentic restoration.
The car's owner doesn't want
to wait months
for everything to come in.
The harder it is
to find originals,
the longer
every other job takes.
You don't have the turnover.
Pretty soon...
Can't keep everybody working.
Something's
got to change, Nate.
You can't keep going like this.
Or like that.
Thank you, guys, for brunch.
Oh, anytime, honey.
You know, this really is
a beautiful part of town.
We should come here more.
Oh, look.
There's a space for rent.
Is that so?
Why, you know, this looks like
the perfect location
for a small medical office.
Wow...
Yeah, real subtle, guys.
Did you take me out to brunch
at the Pearl District
to lure me here?
"Lure?"
Oh, no, that's a strong word.
I think "happened upon,
on purpose" is better.
Do you know
what I think this is?
A fantastic
investment opportunity.
Do you guys seriously
really want to invest?
Of course we do.
Thank you.
I appreciate that, I do.
I, um...
I think this is something
that I got to do on my own.
Well...
I can see
that the "Summer of Brooke"
is really doing you good.
It is.
You're looking
at least ten grand.
You can't be serious.
Well, I can do
a temporary repair for less,
but this roof?
It won't last long.
Or I could just
keep using the buckets.
You could, but there's
no guarantee it won't get worse.
I'll just have
to take my chances.
Hang onto this just in case.
Thank you.
Nate. Hey.
Hi!
Is it not a good time?
Oh, no.
Oh, Brooke, I'm so sorry.
I can't believe
I'm using my "rainy day" fund
for actual rain.
What are you going to do?
Buy bigger buckets.
Hey, you don't have
to work on my knee today.
I can come back.
No. No, it's okay.
I'm really glad you're here.
Me too.
That should do it.
Thank you for this.
Hopefully, it'll get me through
a whole round of golf.
Well, a day at the spa
sounds like way more fun.
Oh, really?
Agree to disagree.
Oh.
Hello?
Oh. Uh...
Okay.
Well, will you be open
by four?
Okay.
What's up?
That was the country club.
A tree fell on the power line
and they're closed all day.
Well, I guess that means
golf is out, too.
No, that's okay.
I-I understand.
Yeah, it is a lot of people,
last minute.
Okay. Thanks.
Any luck?
Nope.
-Courses are all booked.
-Same with the spas.
Maybe we try to find
something for everyone
to do together.
You mean, like,
combine the parties?
Yeah, it's called
a "Jack and Jill."
I went to one last year,
we went to an escape room.
It was a blast.
I literally saw a couple
break off their engagement
after an hour
in one of those, so...
No escape room.
Mm-hmm.
Hang on.
Outdoor activities, Portland,
bachelor, bachelorette.
You think they'll go for it?
Only one way to find out.
One Mississippi,
two Mississippi,
three Mississippi...
That's what I'm talking about!
How's your knee holding up?
You tell me.
I'm coming for you.
I'll be here.
All right, blue team,
look alive, here we go!
I'm counting on you!
One Mississippi,
two Mississippi,
three Mississippi...
Oh!
Oh!
Yeah! Whoo!
Well, your knee
seems to be holding up...
but you might want
to get your arm checked out.
Yeah, Edgar.
Maybe stick to Foosball.
Oh, be nice, sweetie.
Always!
Brooke, I'm having
so much fun.
Way better than a spa day.
Not that it wasn't a good idea.
It's way more fun,
and I have to give Nate
the credit.
It was his idea.
Nate, if I could have
a second best man,
that would be you.
Yeah?
You know what I mean.
I'm open! I'm open!
-Nate!
-Ahh...
You good?
Yeah.
-You okay?
-I'm okay. I just slipped.
All right. No!
Let's get ice. Ice.
Grab some ice.
You can tell me
how dumb I am
for not fixing my knee.
I'm not gonna tell you that,
but promise me you'll come
for physical therapy tomorrow.
Definitely.
Okay, sit here.
Okay.
Okay...
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh.
They're watching us.
Hey, you want to really
mess with them?
Sure.
I think they bought it.
It's pretty convincing.
Yeah.
Kind of even felt real.
I should get back in the game.
Ahem. Yeah.
I guess I'll just stay here
and...
ice my knee.
Yeah, just...
and just put your hand
right there.
Okay.
-Easy. Easy!
-Oh, ho, ho, ho!
Don't get excited.
I was just messing with...
We were messing with you!
Oh, yeah. Sure.
Brooke, you know, the best
wedding present I could get
would be to for you
find true love.
Okay.
Hi there.
This is Brooke Ethridge.
Sorry to call so late,
but, um...
...you were right,
and I'm ready to fix the roof,
so if you're still available
this weekend,
that would be great.
Okay.
I think
it's the universe telling me
I shouldn't go into business.
Why? Why, why?
Because I have to use
the money for the loan
to fix the roof.
I am so sorry.
What can I do?
Nothing.
But while you're here,
I should get you that brace.
Oh.
Can't you just tape it up?
Tape's not
gonna cut it anymore.
Hey. Do you remember,
at Vicky and Amanda's wedding,
we pulled in,
there was a guy
who loved the car?
Mm-hmm?
Well, he gave me his number,
and he said, if you ever
wanted to sell it,
give him a call.
I just texted him
and he's interested.
I mean, only if you are.
Do you think he'll offer me
enough to pay for the roof?
I think,
if I fix up the car for him...
...maybe.
I can't pay you for that.
Don't have to.
We're bartering.
You help me with the knee,
I fix up the car.
Well, then I guess
it was meant to be.
Okay. Just texted the guy.
He's gonna be here
in a couple minutes.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm just, um...
Don't want to get my hopes up.
Well, I'll tell you this much...
when you drove this thing in,
Dan asked if could buy it,
on the spot.
You're gonna be okay.
Okay.
Is that your dad?
Yep.
It's sweet.
He must be
really proud of you.
Yeah.
I think he is.
But, uh, business is changing.
I'm not sure
I'm gonna be able
to keep running it
the way he did.
What about your parents?
Also retired.
Annoyingly happy.
Yeah?
You haven't seen two people
more in love.
Yeah.
They have fun together.
They laugh together.
They're each other's
biggest supporters.
They're just...
best friends.
That's nice to hear.
I haven't had
a whole lot of luck
in the marriage department.
Oh, you were married?
We were engaged for a year.
And then...
two months before the wedding,
she told me that she hated
Portland weather,
and she wanted
to move to Arizona
to be closer to her family,
and she had already
gotten me a job,
uh, managing the body shop
at her father's car dealership.
Ooh.
Ooh...
Yeah, well, for starters,
you would've hated that job, so.
See, you've only known me
a month
and you realize that.
Kingston!
-Hey! Good to see you.
-Hey.
There she is.
I am so excited about this.
So I'm thinking 10 grand
for the car,
and another 10
for the retro-mod?
What's a "retro-mod"?
Oh, uh, well,
that's keeping a classic car
old-looking on the outside,
but fitting it
with a modern engine,
technology, air conditioning.
It's, um, like a new car
inside an old one.
That sounds like a great idea.
Yeah, well,
there's a huge market.
Yeah, it's not one of
the services that I offer.
Bummer.
Maybe we can make an exception
just this once.
What?
Yeah, I think
you should do it.
Just this once.
-You're sure?
-I am, yep.
Thank you.
So, 10,000 for the car?
Well, uh, it's worth 11,500.
10,500.
11,000, all cash,
and you have a deal.
Done.
I'm gonna go to the bank
and be back
in about an hour.
Okay.
Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
Thank you.
That was impressive.
My dad used to be a lawyer,
he told me never
to accept the first offer.
Mm, that's too bad,
because I was actually gonna
offer you a ride
to the rehearsal dinner.
Oh.
Well, maybe, for you,
I'll have to make an exception.
That's the story
they love telling
to embarrass us.
Look who it is.
We'll be right back, all right?
Oh! Well, you two look nice.
Thank you.
And you both came together.
Interesting.
Yeah, we just thought it would
be easier to take the same car.
Better for the environment.
Is that so?
Yeah!
I haven't seen you smile
this much in years, Edgar.
Probably because I'm thinking
about the time in college,
you tried to start
a boy band.
Lies!
That's not a lie!
Well, this changes everything!
The wedding's off.
Oh. I'm sorry, Nate.
I didn't mean to bring up...
It's okay.
It's okay.
First of all,
we'd like to thank
Greg's parents,
Jim and Martha,
for hosting today.
Whoo!
And...
I want to thank
my amazing fiancée,
who's been working non-stop
to make our wedding weekend
absolutely perfect.
I mean, she did
all the heavy lifting.
All I have to do
is show up in a tux
and say "I do."
Thanks, Gin.
To friends,
family,
and the future.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Ginny!
What's wrong?
Why are you so upset?
Because...
you seem so happy
that you didn't have to do
any of the work.
Is this how it's gonna be
for the rest of our lives?
Well, I would've helped more,
but every time
I suggested something,
you shot it down.
Oh, you mean like
hiring a Metallica cover band
to play at the reception?
I wasn't being serious!
That's the problem.
You don't
take of this seriously.
Hey.
You okay?
I just completely
lost it on Greg.
What's wrong with me?
Nothing.
It is normal to have nerves
the night before
your entire life
is about to change.
He loves you, Ginny.
He just wants you to be happy.
That's all he's doing
with these wedding plans.
He wants you to have
the wedding of your dreams.
You're right.
And now I messed it all up.
He probably doesn't even
want to marry me now.
Of course he does.
There is no one
that belongs together
more than you two.
Except maybe you and Nate.
I'm gonna go get Greg.
Okay?
Thanks, B.
Yeah.
I feel like,
no matter what I say,
I can't win.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe I'm not meant
to be married after all.
Yeah.
Yeah, you should definitely
go back to being single.
Being single, you only
have to think about yourself.
You don't have somebody
telling you what to do.
It's freedom!
I wouldn't give up being single
again for anything...
...except
what you and Ginny have.
Come on,
you guys are best friends.
You make each other laugh.
You're soulmates.
And yeah, the stress got to her
for a second...
it's gonna happen.
But now there's something
you can to help.
You can go back in there
and you can tell her
how much you love her.
And that you can't wait
to marry her.
'Cause I think we both know
you can never do better.
I really can't wait.
Yeah. Good. Don't tell me.
Go tell her.
Okay?
Okay, okay. Mwah.
Well...
looks like all is well.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just have a lot of things
to do before tomorrow.
Maid-of-honor stuff.
I can help.
Uh, no thanks.
I'm okay on my own.
Okay.
I mean, that's what this summer
was supposed to be, right?
Just letting myself
be on my own...
...and I, uh,
I haven't done that.
I'm not doing that,
so, um...
What are you...
What are you saying?
I'm saying that...
I'm really glad that we became
wedding buddies...
I just...
I think that I should focus
on my business now.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean,
the summer was...
but, you know, I gotta...
I gotta focus on my... stuff.
I mean,
I'm sure you'll be fine.
You have the whole
"retro-mod" thing.
Yeah, I just did it
that one time.
Just to sell your car.
Yeah.
What?
Why do you do that?
You're doing the same thing
with your business
that you do with your knee.
I just don't understand why
you won't do the thing
that will make things better?
I guess I just don't like
people telling me
what they think
I need to do.
Yeah.
I know.
Well, I mean, don't worry.
One more day,
and you won't have to hear it
from me again.
You'll be free.
You ready?
I am so ready.
You look stunning.
Thank you.
Don't forget to bend your knees
and keep your feet flat
so you don't faint.
I won't.
Okay.
I better get out there.
-You're first.
-Oh!
You may kiss the bride.
Whoo!
Hey, look at you two.
Finally hitting
the big leagues, huh?
-Yeah.
-Yep.
Well, when you two finally
make it official, call me.
Hey, you two!
Hi.
How's married life?
So far, perfect.
Hey, thanks
for the awesome glasses.
We'll have you two over
for drinks sometime soon, okay?
Sounds good.
We should go find our table,
but we will see you
at the conga line.
♪ Mm-mm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm!
There it is.
Um, look, I know
it's kind of hard right now,
but I think we should just keep
putting on happy faces.
For Ginny and Greg.
Why wouldn't we be happy?
We had a lot of fun
at the weddings,
and now we're just
moving on with our lives.
Exactly.
Um, we should
go find our seats.
Okay.
Hi.
I'm Brooke Ethridge
and I have been best friends
with Ginny
since we the first day
of seventh grade.
Ginny once told me
to look for someone
you feel inspires you
to write new stories with them.
I asked her how she knew
Greg was the one,
and her answer was simple...
she couldn't possibly imagine
writing those stories
without him.
Greg and Ginny...
...here's to a life
of love
and happiness.
To the beginning
of your beautiful new story.
To the bride and groom.
To the bride and groom!
Thank you.
Be sure to get that MRI.
Good luck with the clinic.
Thank you.
Bye.
Okay. Bye.
Oh, wow.
Oh, this looks incredible.
You've done an amazing job.
You know, I gotta admit,
it's kind of nice
not having to worry
about finding parts.
Yeah? Well, guess what?
It's even nicer
not having to worry
about finding new business.
What do you mean?
I got a list a mile long
of these.
Just say the word.
Okay.
Yes!
Time to move on.
Yes!
And I just wanted
to thank you all
for coming to the grand opening
of Ethridge Physical Therapy.
Whoo-hoo!
I am so proud of you.
Thank you.
I am proud of me, too.
But something's missing. Right?
Or someone?
It just wasn't
meant to be, Ginny.
I still don't get it.
You two were fine
at the barbecue.
What changed?
I overheard him talking to you
after your fight with Ginny.
All he could say
was how happy he was
that his life was single,
and that's fine.
But that's all I needed to hear.
Brooke.
I say this
as your best-friend-in-law...
you messed up.
I can't believe
I pushed him away.
I ruined everything.
Then fix it.
Go and talk to him.
I blindsided him.
Just like his fiancée.
Why would he want
to talk to me now?
Hi...
Hi.
What are you doing here?
You still have it?
Come take a look.
I made a little trade
with Kingston.
When I saw it again...
I knew
I couldn't let it go.
It's perfect.
It's still missing
a pretty important part.
A fuzzy seat-belt cover?
This is why you came here?
To show me the car?
I heard that you fix people
who are in pain.
Your knee?
I'm so sorry, Nate.
I overheard you talking to Greg
about how happy
you were being single and free
and I thought
I had to let you go.
What about
all the other stuff that I said?
I only found out
about that today.
I am sorry
for pushing you away.
All this time.
I...
I didn't know.
It's a good thing we know
how to put things back together.
If you want to...
I love you.
Congrats, man.
You did it, Edgar!
