Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 4, Episode 10 - And Did It... My Way - full transcript

When you look at me like that,

l don't know how l managed
all these years without you next to me.

Well, you weren't exactly
lacking for company.

No, this is different.

Yeah, for me too.

l can't wait to start spending
the rest of my life with you.

We're gonna have a real marriage.
No holding back, no play-acting.

You can tell me anything
and l'll always love you.

Nothing will ever come between us.

Well, l have to be
the luckiest man alive.

You're beautiful,
intelligent, sensitive,



and you're all mine.

She's irrational. She's stubborn.

She won't listen to reason.
She's out of control. Out of control.

- Jim, just calm down.
- She's always been headstrong,

but now he's put her up in that hotel
like they're starring in Pretty Woman.

He's not putting her up at that hotel.
They live there.

How could she accept a ring from
a guy she's known for three weeks?

Maybe if we're lucky,
it'll be a long engagement

and they'll both
come to their senses.

Maybe if we're lucky, one of them
will get hit by a cement mixer

- and they'll be laid up for three years.
- Jim.

Guys, if l could interject
for one minute here.

l can't help thinking
this all has a very familiar ring to it.

You mean like with Dylan?



No, no, no,
with Dylan they were playing house.

We knew they'd be
at each other's throats in three days.

And they never talked
about getting married.

Hello.

Yeah, just one second,
l'll get him for you.

Dad, it's Rene from
Lawrence Carson's office, for you.

Jim Walsh.

What? Today?

Yeah, l think l can
rearrange my schedule.

One o'clock.

Yeah, that'll be fine. Okay, thanks.

Wha-- Jim, what is it?

The Carsons want to meet with us.

They've invited themselves
over for lunch.

Does that mean
we R.S.V.P. to them?

l think l just did.

Larry Carson's not the world's
most spontaneous human being.

His schedule's usually booked
for weeks in advance.

They're obviously just as upset
about this thing as we are.

Yeah. Maybe between
the four of us,

we'll be able to restore
some vague semblance of reality here.

Everything is gonna work out.

Donna, come on.
We're gonna be late.

lf Kelly were here,
l could borrow her black clogs.

Yeah, well, thank God she's not.

l liked it better
when you used to be late.

Wait, let me just grab a granola bar
from the kitchen.

Donna, you can get something
on campus.

David, l'm starving.

- Hi, Donna.
- You're back.

Yeah, l came to pick up a few things.
l'll make it quick.

The quicker, the better.

You guys are being ridiculous.
There's nothing to be angry about.

This is all about the lawyers
and that damn deposition.

Donna, just cool it, all right?

No, l won't cool it.
You guys are my best friends.

With friends like that,
who needs enemies?

You know, Kelly,
you're the psych major.

Why don't you tell me
why your mother is doing this to him?

Listen, David,
your dad has always been nice to me,

but l don't wanna see Erin get hurt.

She's only 2 years old. You really
think it's gonna make a difference?

Not now,
but this is about the rest of her life.

No, Kelly, this is about your mother
being lonely and miserable,

and taking it out on my father.

Come on, Donna, let's get out of here.
We're already late for class.

l'll call you later, okay?

- l'll get it.
- Cool, don't keep me waiting.

Yo, KEG house.

Steve Sanders? Let me check.

Who should l say is calling, please?

Laura?

You just missed him.
He just left for class.

Yeah, sure, l'll tell him. Okay.

What did you do to that girl, man?
She's writhing on the floor.

She's begging for it.

Look, don't make a big deal out of it.
She's a nice girl. lt just didn't work out.

Whatever you say.
Third time she's called.

So now Jim and Cindy think

that they're all gonna form
a united front to stop her.

Bro, your sister's a piece of work--

You know what bothers me the most
about this? She's gonna wind up

- with another trip to Paris out of this.
- Yeah, a few more boyfriends,

she'll have enough frequent-flyer
miles, she can go for free.

Man, she's gonna wrap Stuart
around her little finger

just like she does everybody else.

l think this time it's gonna be more like
an albatross around a neck.

You keep dropping
all these hints about Stuart, man.

What's the deal with him anyway?

- No comment.
- What does that mean?

l already tried to get in the middle
of your sister's love life.

l did more harm than good.
So from now on, she's on her own.

- Even if she's gonna marry the guy?
- Hey, they're just engaged.

- Andrea. Hi.
- Hi, Laura.

Oh, after that chemistry experiment
we had,

l'll never have
another french fry again.

l guess it'll take more than that
for me.

You went to West Beverly,
didn't you?

Don't hold it against me.

Why would l hold it against you?

l'm just kidding.

Some people have ideas.

Well, when you were in high school,
did you know a Steve Sanders?

Yeah, very well.
He's one of my closest friends.

Yeah, he seems
like a really nice guy.

We have a folklore and mythology
class together.

You wouldn't know how
l can get in touch with him, would you?

l don't know. Well, he spends
a lot of time at the KEG house.

Yeah, see, l tried there, but
l don't think he's getting my messages.

The thing is,
is that l missed one of my classes

and l thought
maybe l could borrow his notes.

l don't know how good they'll be.

Yeah, well,
l'd still like to talk to him anyway.

Could you give me
his home phone number?

Sure. l think l have it right here.

- lt's okay, l have a piece of paper.
- Okay.

You know, that's one thing
l really love about college,

all kinds of people coming together
from all sorts of places,

even people
that you would least expect.

He doesn't do his reading.
He doesn't do his assignments.

All he wants to do is watch TV
and play basketball.

So l'm thinking maybe he needs

someone who speaks his language,
someone who knows

how to get through to him,
because l obviously don't.

Let me tell you
something about D'Shawn.

The dropout rate in his high school
was 42 percent.

He's the first person in his family
ever to go to college.

He's only the second in his family
to graduate high school.

- He's a smart kid.
- l know. That's what's so frustrating.

l mean,
with midterms coming up next week,

l don't think he's gonna be eligible
to play on the team this season.

What do you think about
asking D'Shawn to join us

when Lucinda and l
have you over for dinner?

l didn't know we had definite plans.

Well, l think if you meet
in a more relaxed atmosphere,

away from the pressures and the roles
you normally have to play--

- Am l interrupting something?
- Oh, no, no, come on in, sweetie.

- You remember Brandon.
- Sure.

- Nice to see you again, Brandon.
- Yeah, you too.

l was just talking to him about
he and D'Shawn coming for dinner.

You like spicy food?

Yeah. l guess.

Well, great. Then you're in luck.

She's got all these native recipes from
Guatemala that are out of this world.

Yeah, it will be fun.

l love getting to know
my husband's students.

Thank you.

Chardonnay.
And an extra-dry martini.

Thank you.

Jim, this is perfect.

Glad you like it.

And we're very glad
that we could all get together

and discuss
our children's engagement.

l'm sure you have
as many concerns about it as we do.

Well, it certainly
caught us by surprise.

Especially since they've only known
each other for a couple of months.

- Three weeks.
- Hi.

Well, here's the happy couple now.

Brenda, you look wonderful.

- Hi.
- ls this a new suit?

Stuart bought it.
Your son is spoiling me.

- Oh, well, he takes after his father.
- Thank you.

Jim. Cindy.

Or would it be okay
if l just called you Mom and Dad?

l thought it was gonna be
just the four of us.

Well, it is their wedding.

They ought to have some say in it,
don't you think?

Now that we're all here,
let's get down to business.

- Shall we sit?
- Good idea.

Jim, as you well know, l've never
been one to beat around the bush.

Now, l know you've done
very well for yourself.

You've got
a nice little practice going.

But l wanna tell you, nothing would
give me more pleasure

than if you would let me
pay for the wedding.

- Father has so much tact.
- Well--

Poor Larry doesn't know
what he's getting himself into.

l've been talking
to the wedding coordinators.

By the time we're finished with this,
my poor husband

is gonna have to build a whole new city
just to pay for it all.

Well, l mean, what exactly
are we really talking about here?

Well, naturally,
we have a lot of obligations.

l mean, from our side alone, we're
looking at between 350, 400 people.

Just a few of their closest friends.

So how many guests
would you like to invite?

Well, l really haven't
the slightest idea.

Oh, dear.
l hope l haven't offended anyone.

Cindy, Jim, we want you to be involved
in absolutely every decision.

Cindy and l kind of hoped
that the children could wait a while.

Dad.

No, no, no,
we couldn't agree with you more.

We were thinking
a June wedding would be perfect.

That is, if it doesn't bother
Stewie's allergies.

Mother.

Listen, l've gotta say
one thing about my son.

He may be irresponsible,
he may be immature,

he may be spoiled rotten.

But for once in his life,

he made a snap decision
that is right on the money.

Don't you think?

- Well--
- Good.

Then it's all settled.

The ladies will spend
the next six months

arguing over their color schemes,

while we try to figure out
how to come up with the cash.

Oh, Larry. lsn't he awful?

He's terrible.

Listen, l'm sorry.

Figures they'd try to turn our wedding
into a three-ring circus.

And my parents are so negative
about us, it's ruining everything.

- There is a way around it, you know.
- What?

We hop on a plane to Las Vegas
tonight and we do it ourselves.

Tonight?

We know we're gonna get married,
so why postpone the inevitable?

l can't think of a single reason why.

We'll grab our things
and we won't tell a soul.

There is one person
that l have to tell.

Are you crazy?

Mom and Dad are gonna kill you.

After tonight, l'll be out of their control.
There's nothing they can do about it.

Brenda, this all seems
a little impetuous.

l mean, have you given this
any thought at all?

l've been doing nothing
but thinking about it for weeks.

But not like this. l mean,
the two of you are acting like fugitives.

Why do l have to keep on
explaining myself to everyone?

Look, Brandon,
l was really hoping for your blessing.

l mean,
you're the only one l can turn to.

Then l guess you have my blessing.

Thank you.

Do you realize the next time
you see me, l'll be Mrs. Stuart Carson?

Oh, one more thing,

whatever you do, don't tell
Mom and Dad, okay, promise?

Still hanging out at the Peach Pit,
huh, McKay?

That's what it looks like.

The old high-school hangout.
Hard to break old habits, huh?

No. l just like the food.

l guess you're one of those guys
that can't handle change too well.

Maybe l just don't try to fix something
that isn't broken.

Or maybe you just can't face
what's already breaking up.

Oh, you're so subtle, John.

You know, Kelly tells me
she doesn't wanna see you anymore.

But every time l turn around,
she's still with you.

So l figure you must have
some kind of hold on her.

No, Kelly can see whoever she wants.
She knows that.

But why she'd wanna see you,

that's just beyond me.

That's right, McKay.

lt is beyond you.

l don't like that kid.

Even when he was in high school,

l always knew there'd be trouble
whenever he showed up.

Yeah.

Let me ask you something, Nat.
l've been with a lot of girls.

Why is it the only two l ever loved
are running around with total dirtbags?

The nerve of those people,

barging in here, railroading their
over-inflated plans down our throats,

and then saying they want us involved
in every decision.

l didn't know what l was supposed
to do. Carson's my biggest client.

l couldn't tell him
we don't want him in our family.

Will you tell me one thing? Why are
they so eager to marry off their son?

You know what l think?

l think this is just an excuse
for Vivian to throw another party.

So how'd it go?

Not exactly as we'd hoped.

The Carsons have decided to throw
them the wedding of the century.

- And you guys are okay with that?
- We didn't have a whole lot of choice.

Listen, Jim,
maybe it's not as bad as we think.

l mean, they are talking about
six-months' preparation.

A lot can change in six months.

Listen, l'm not ready to give up yet.

l still think if we get Brenda alone
and sit her down,

we can reason with her.

Yeah, what's up,
what's up, what's up?

Steve, it's Brandon.
Pack your bags, we're going to Vegas.

Dig it, a road trip.

All right man, Vegas.
Do you need an lD, because--?

Steve, we're not going there
to gamble.

Then why are we going?

Brenda's eloping.

- What did you say?
- You heard me,

With Stuart?

No, with Pope John Paul ll.
Of course with Stuart.

Hey, man, what's with your sister?
What, is she flipping out?

l don't know. l'm gonna get us tickets
for the 5:00 flight from Burbank.

Burbank? Why do we have to drive
all the way to Burbank?

Because everything from LAX
is booked. Let's just do this, okay?

Listen, any probIems,
I'm gonna caII you right back,

Okay.

So, what's the problem?

Gee, Steve,
where would you like me to start?

- Who is this?
- lt's Laura.

Laura.

Look, l've been meaning to call you.
l'm sorry l haven't.

But l'm on my way to Vegas right now.
l'll speak to you when l get back, okay?

HeIIo?

Kel, you're not gonna believe this.

She what?

She is?

When?

Okay.

Bye.

You're not gonna believe this,

but Brenda's on her way to Las Vegas
to get married.

l'm going out.

Okay. Where are you going?

Las Vegas.

Las Vegas?

l thought you'd stopped gambling.

l have stopped gambling, Dad.

Well, then why in the world
are you going to Las Vegas?

l promised Brenda l wouldn't tell you.

- What now?
- Brandon.

She and Stuart
are getting married there tonight.

l have taken
just about enough of this.

- Oh, my God!
- We're going.

No, Dad, you can't go.

lf you show up there,
she'll never trust me again.

We won't tell her you said anything.

And what, you just wound up
at the hotel by coincidence? Come on.

You can't do anything to stop her
anyway.

- We're still her parents.
- And if you try, you're gonna lose her.

He's probably right, you know.

But you have some kind of plan,
right?

Ladies and gentIemen,
this is the Iast and finaI caII

to board FIight 86 to Las Vegas,
scheduIed for departure at 5 p,m,

l can't believe we made it here
in one piece.

What were you worried about?

l don't know, maybe it was
that Cadillac we cut off on Barham

or the big rig we almost jackknifed
on the freeway.

- l told you we'd get here.
- Yeah, right on time.

Hey, gotta hand it to Brenda.
Vegas is a great place to party--

l told you,
we're not going there to party.

Hey, what's the big deal?
Marriage, blackjack.

- lt's all a crapshoot, right, man?
- Excuse me, son.

Donna, maybe if you hadn't taken
so long to pack,

we wouldn't have had to rush here.

l wanted to be prepared.

What do you have to bring
to Las Vegas? A few spangles?

- A little see-through negligee?
- Kel, it's nothing like that.

Yeah, maybe l should have brought
my Girl Scout uniform.

Oh, my God, look who's here.

- l told you it'd be a party.
- What are you guys doing here?

We thought we'd catch
Wayne Newton's supper show.

You don't think we'd let Brenda
get married without us, do you?

Our seats are over there.

- Oh, Donna.
- See you later.

Who else did you tell, Steve?

Only Kelly.

And my good friend, E.

Don't give me any hassle, okay?
lt's a late boarding pass.

l already went through it with the guy
at the front desk. Hey, guys.

Oh, come on, Bren, you know
what they say. The more, the merrier.

David, you made it.

Yeah, l got somebody
to cover my shift.

Donna, l'm gonna go sit in the back.

No, Kelly Taylor,
you come back here right now.

We are all sitting together.

Donna.

Just let her go.
l don't wanna talk to her anyway.

No.

Can't the two of you put
your differences aside for one night?

l mean, this is the biggest moment
in Brenda's life.

And the last thing she
or any of us need

are the two of you
at each other's throats.

Yeah, l guess we could call
a temporary truce.

Sort of like a national holiday?

Gee, Kel,
would you like the window seat?

No, David, l would never
deprive you of that. Go right ahead.

Thank you so much.

Look, David, l'm sorry.

You know l hate this mess between
our parents just as much as you do.

The worst part about it is,

l had a sister for a year
and now l miss that.

Me too.

Out of all my mom's five marriages,
you're the only brother l ever had.

Well, you know what,
if you're willing to give it another try,

l've got this room at a great apartment
right on the beach.

That is my room
and don't you forget it.

l'm already crying.
l just love weddings.

Will all passengers
please take their seats

and fasten their seat belts?

Please make sure your seat
is in the upright position.

We'll be departing shortly.

Dylan, you came.

You kidding? l wouldn't miss
this wedding for the world.

Room service.

Oh, boy.
My last supper as a single woman.

Well, you can't get married
on an empty stomach.

My God.

Here you go.

This is turning out to be
everything that l had hoped for.

Well, you ain't see nothing yet.
To the rest of our lives.

l cannot believe we did it.
l mean, we got away from them all.

Okay, if you have an ace,
it's worth one or it's worth 1 1 .

lf you have a picture card,
it's worth ten.

l wonder how long it takes
before you really know somebody.

Okay, say you have a 1 6, the dealer
has a seven or higher showing,

you ask the dealer for a hit
and he'll give you a third card.

l mean, do you ever really know
what someone else is thinking?

What are you thinking?

The whole concept of human
connection, maybe it's just an illusion.

Andrea, you need to listen
to me here now

because we're going to Vegas and you
need to learn how to play twenty-one.

But l'm not 21 . They're never
gonna let me into the casinos.

They'll never check.

- Twenty-one.
- Twenty-one.

Wanna go to a wedding?

Look, l respect the fact you don't
wanna interfere in Brenda's life.

But now that she's gonna marry
this guy,

you gotta tell me what you know
about Stuart Carson.

Hey, don't get me started, all right?
l don't wanna get involved.

Bro, you got involved
the second you set foot on this plane.

All right.

Used to be this place called
Eve's Apple. You ever heard of it?

No. What was it,
some kind of nightclub?

Yeah, some kind of nightclub.

That's where everybody went
to score their drugs.

Stuart was the manager, and when
he wasn't managing, he was dealing.

Well, that settles it, man.

We gotta figure out a way
to stop her from marrying this guy.

Just because he was dealing then
doesn't mean he's dealing now.

So, what are we supposed to do?

Cross our fingers
and hope that he's cleaned up his act?

Hey, man, let's just hope that
your sister knows what she's doing.

You guys,
it was so wild getting off that airplane

and seeing all those
aluminum palm trees.

lt was like we were entering
a whole new universe.

Wait till you see the moving statues
and the jousting matches.

Circus Circus is by far the best.

Yeah, l have to admit,
it's not quite what l expected.

What did you expect?

A lot of mobsters and hookers.

No, l just didn't think
it was the kind of place

you could bring your family to.

Talk about an entrance.

lt's from an old Marx Brothers movie.
Say the magic word, you win a duck.

- Thanks, Groucho.
- l'm Harpo.

- l'm Chico.
- No, no, no, l'm Chico. He's Zeppo.

l think you're all crazy.

All right, man,
what's on the agenda first?

A little blackjack?
Maybe a little craps?

Well, wait,
shouldn't we find Brenda?

l don't know, Donna.
lt is their honeymoon.

We did not come all this way
to leave them alone.

- We have to give Brenda a shower.
- Yeah, a cold shower.

Thank you.
You mean l am not the only one here

who thinks
this is just a little bit ridiculous?

This has to be the most idiotic thing
Brenda's ever done.

You don't know what she was like
when she was a kid.

So, what do we do?

We have to go and find her
and tell her how we feel about all this.

l don't think that's a good idea.
The first one of us that tries to stop her

is just gonna be driving her
to the nearest chapel.

Yeah, he's right.
The thing we have to do

is make her think
that we're all behind her on this,

make it out like this is the coolest thing
she's ever done.

But all the time,
we gotta drop these little bombs

that hopefully will make her
come to her senses.

Brilliant.

Yeah, because if we do it right,
it'll drive her up the wall.

So we all set to go?

Well, the honeymooners
are in Suite 1 096.

- Thank you, Rosie the maid.
- Thank you, Steve Sanders.

- Then let's do it.
- All right. Guys, wait a minute.

We got Brenda figured out.
What about Stuart?

l'll take care of Stuart.

l wonder what my life is gonna be like
as a married woman.

Nothing like my mother's,
that's for sure.

Well, you can do charities or
join clubs.

Or do nothing. lt's all up to you.

What about my career?

Darling, don't misinterpret me.

Anything is possible, as long as it
doesn't take you away from me.

Have l told you that l love you
within the last ten minutes?

Think you're just about due.

That must be housekeeping
to turn down the bed.

Well, tell them
the bed's already turned down.

- l can't believe how rude they are.
- l'll get it.

Surprise!

How did you guys
all know l was here?

- Who do you think?
- Oh, you've got the biggest mouth.

l just thought you'd want all your
friends to see you cross the threshold.

l've been thinking about you guys
all day.

Well, how about it?
Have you done it yet?

Done what, Kelly?

Get married. Are we too late?

Nope. Stuart and l decided to get
married at the stroke of midnight.

lsn't that romantic?

Yeah, that's real cool. Let's go.

Dylan, l am so glad you're here.

Well, l got to thinking about it.
You're right.

l have no right to tell you
how to run your life.

You're a smart young woman
and you'll do fine.

l wouldn't miss it for the world.

What's going on out here?

Well, looks like
we have some company.

Well, everyone,
welcome to my honeymoon.

Not yet. Not until your bachelor party,
tough guy.

And you are getting a bridal shower.

Well, it wasn't on the itinerary,
but what the hell?

Well, okay.

Room service, this is Suite 1 096.

l need three magnums
of your finest champagne.

And l want you to charge it
to Stuart Carson. Carson.

And l need a peanut butter
and banana sandwich. Thank you.

This suite is incredible.

Oh, well, come on
and l'll show you the rest.

Stewie. Stewie.

l can't believe you guys just hopped
on a plane. Talk about good friends.

- lt's more like a family.
- Get used to it.

You're just not marrying Brenda,
you're inheriting a whole family.

Take all the girls, for instance.
They're inseparable.

They're either talking on the phone
or at each other's house.

And you'll get to know all of them
just as well as you know Brenda.

- They will get to know you.
- Know what's great about these girls?

There's never any secrets
between them.

l mean,
Brenda tells these girls everything.

Wow, look at this bed. lt's huge.

l bet you even have a sauna
in your bathroom.

And a steam room.

This suite must cost a fortune.
Well, good thing Stuart has one.

Yeah, you're lucky
he didn't make you sign a prenup.

Well, actually, he did.

But it's no big deal.

l mean, he's tearing it up
after six months.

Well, then l guess
there's nothing to worry about.

l'm just glad we're all together.

Yeah, me too.

Now you guys can be
my maids of honor.

- l would've killed you if you didn't ask.
- Well, when you all showed up here

l thought that you had come
to try and stop me.

Why would we wanna stop you?

Hey, everybody, listen up.

This is a great suite,
but what are we doing here?

Come on, this is Vegas.

Buck and a half to win 9 and a half.

Yo, eleven.

Oh, my God.

Okay, who's feeling lucky?

You guys, we can't do this.

We're underage. lt's against the law.

Come on, Andrea,
like they're really gonna check.

Well, what if they do?

Would you guys
stop worrying so much?

Nobody's even looking.
Just go for it.

Fine.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Quick, grab a cup, grab a cup.

This is fantastic? Oh, l love Vegas.

Talk about beginner's luck.

This is great, just keep talking.

- Oh, this is amazing.
- How much do you think is here?

l don't know,
but let's go cash it all in, come on.

What, are you kidding?
This machine's hot, we can't stop now.

Oh, yes, you can.

l need to see some lD, please.

Do we look under 21 ?

l gotta tell you, that's a big compliment.
Thank you.

Let's see a driver's license
or a picture lD.

You're kidding, right?

Come on. You don't have to leave the
hotel, but you can't stay in the casino.

And l believe 500 of those dollars
belongs to us.

Anything left over
you can pick up at the cashier's.

Welcome to Las Vegas.

Never check, huh?

Steve, l ain't going down there.

Come on, pal,
you wanna borrow my lD, it's cool.

Bro, you know
that's not the problem.

Great. You won't gamble with me,
Dylan won't drink with me.

And you probably wanna back out
of your bachelor party, right?

Hey, l'm not turning into a monk.

l know this great place
just outside the city limits

that doesn't serve any booze,
so you guys can get in.

No drinks?

You'll live, Steve.

Believe me,
the girls in this place make up for it.

Yeah? Sounds like you're
still the swinging guy, Stuart.

No way, man. These days
l'm on the straight and narrow.

After some of the stuff
that's happened to me...

Like what?

Dylan, you knew me in the old days.

You think l'd be marrying Brenda
if that's what l was still into?

l guess not.

What are we gonna do,
stand around here and talk about it

or are we gonna make a move,
you know what l'm saying?

Let's go.

Okay, it's gonna be
a little harder than l thought.

Yeah. l'm beginning to like the guy.

- You too?
- Yeah.

What's so funny?

l was just picturing Vivian Carson's
face when she finds out

that all 350 of her closest friends
are gonna miss the wedding.

Honey, what are we doing?

l don't know.
Making ourselves miserable.

There's still time
to catch a flight to Vegas.

What about what Brandon said?

lf we're gonna lose Brenda,
we might as well go down fighting.

l'm gonna go pack.

l'll call the airlines.

Here we go.

Only in Las Vegas would they have
a bridal shop in the hotel lobby.

Yeah, and one that's still open
at 1 1 p.m.

Lucky for us.

l didn't notice until l was
in the dressing room,

that this is a polyester blend.

l mean, how can l get married
in a wash-and-wear gown?

Well, it's the sentiment that counts.

Well, it's something new.

l've had this handkerchief
of Grandma Rose's for years.

Definitely something old.

Okay, and here's something borrowed.
Now, you give that back.

And something blue.

A garter?

Well, l was gonna surprise you
with it later, but there you go.

l guess that just about
takes care of everything.

Well, except for the ceremony.

This is so weird.

You know, the last wedding
l was at was Mel and Jackie's.

But l'm sure yours will work out
much better than theirs.

Oh, would you check out
the set of headlights on that chick?

David, those are not headlights,
those are high beams.

l think l'm in love.

l gotta hand it to you, Stuart.

l mean, l just don't think l could spend
the rest of my life stuck to one girl.

Well,
when you got a girl like Brenda...

Oh, yeah, l'm sure she's grown up
a lot since we were together.

Yeah, l'm sure she has.

Because back then,
fidelity wasn't really her strong suit.

You know what l'm saying?

But that's ancient history.
You don't wanna hear about that.

Well, maybe l should.

There was this guy
in her aerobics class.

Aerobics class?

Then she had a boyfriend in Paris.

Paris?

Yeah.
She said it didn't mean anything.

You know what?
lt probably didn't mean anything.

l mean, we were just both too young
to settle down.

Yeah, well, you know,
this is a whole different situation.

Yeah, you know, l'm sure it is,

l'm sure that you know Brenda
a lot better than l do.

Look at the time, would you?
We gotta get out of here.

Yeah, Stu.
You're about to get hitched.

There's still no answer.

Try Stuart's room again.
Maybe they're there.

Honey, we've called them half a dozen
times. What if we're too late?

Call the concierge, get a list
of all the wedding chapels in town.

Yes.

Now, on to the music.
l have Hawaiian, ''The War Chant.''

lnspirational, ''Love Me Tender.''
Traditional, ''The Wedding March.''

The Hawaiian War Chant?

How about if we just take
''The Wedding March''?

Yeah, that's good.
That sounds good.

And as an extra added touch,

we also offer celebrants
to throw rice as you leave the chapel.

l don't think we need
any more celebrants.

- But you do want the rice?
- Rice sounds good.

Good. Okay, that's 55 for the license
and the silver-embossed license holder,

40 for the ceremony,
1 5 for the audiocassette,

40 for the videocassette,
25 for the photos,

40 for the live organist and the rice.

Which makes a grand total of $21 5.
Would that be cash or charge?

You know, Donna,
now would be as good a time as any.

For what?

For me and you to get married.

Have you lost your mind?

Tomorrow we can have it annulled,
but tonight...

David Silver,
you have lost your mind.

lt was worth a shot.

So, Stuart, a few more moments
of freedom left. You ready?

Yeah, l'm ready.

That's good. Got the ring?

You can't hold your own ring, man,
that's what you got a best man for.

l really don't have one.

Well, you know, you got one now.

This is hopeless.

Keep trying.

Yes, have a Stuart Carson
and a Brenda Walsh

gotten married in your chapel today?

WeII, ma'am,
they're here right now,

They are? Right now?

HeIIo?

Well, it's a good thing
we got here early to get a good seat.

Brandon, l am really nervous.

Nothing to be nervous about,
is there?

No. l'm just glad you're here
to give me away.

Yeah, me too.

Although l know
Dad would've loved to have done it.

Yeah, l know.

You know, l think eventually
he'll accept Stuart as his son.

After all, it is till death do you part.

Well, this is it.

ln a world of alienation and poverty
and war and misery,

perhaps we most truly reveal
our belief in possibilities

when we make the commitment
to share our lives forever.

And ever and ever.

lt is not a decision
entered into lightly.

For marriage is not a gambol
across sunlit meadows.

Oh, no.

lt's a long and arduous journey

through a dark forest
fraught with unseen dangers

and sometimes disappointments.

But it is the ultimate testament
of man's refusal to accept despair.

So at this time l turn
to the congregation and l say:

lf anybody here knows why these two
should not be joined in holy matrimony,

let him speak now
or forever hold his peace.

l do.

Not yet.
l haven't asked you the question.

No, no, no. Just wait, wait.

- Stuart, l don't know how to say this.
- No, it's okay. Go ahead.

Look, these last few weeks...

l don't think anyone could imagine
asking for anything more.

lt's been the most exciting time
in my entire life.

l know.

Look, l thought l was in love with you.
But l'm more in love with love.

- l mean, do you understand?
- Yes. l do.

When l look at my parents,
they've been married for 20 years.

lt's been such hard work.
You know, l realize--

We hardly know each other.

You don't want us
to get married either.

Oh, thank God.

All right, that's it!
Stop the wedding! Stop the wedding!

Dad, what are you doing?

We're not gonna let you
go through with this.

We are stopping the wedding
right here and right now.

Too late, guys.
lt's already been stopped.

Good.

- Good.
- Right.

l can't believe all of you were just
standing there watching it happen.

Come on,
what were we supposed to do?

You know how Brenda is.

Guys, you know,
it's not too late to hit the tables.

We could catch the 2:00 show
of Siegfried and Roy.

l have to get some sleep.

You know, l hate to admit it,
but they look great together.

You know,
but for a small turn of fate,

this would have been
our wedding dance.

You're lucky to have
so many good friends.

Well, there's always room
for one more.

You know,
somewhere along the way,

l realized l was trying to create a life
for myself by becoming part of yours.

lt's pretty pathetic, huh?

Well, in a way, l guess l was
kind of doing the same thing too.

Not that it wasn't wonderful.

Oh, it was great while it lasted.

You know, just because
you're not my husband

doesn't mean l don't love you.

Yeah.

Well, we'll always have Vegas.

Should we do
our special little dip here?
