Will & Grace (1998–…): Season 10, Episode 18 - Jack's Big Gay Wedding - full transcript

Hey, check this out.

I got it for the trip.

It's called an Astro Pillow.
So--

[grunts]

You put it on like this,

you put down your
tray table, and...

You can sleep like this.
Isn't it cool?

Grace, could you--
could you help me?

It's a little snug.

Do it yourself.
How else will you learn?

Grace, I can't breathe!



I'm Sandra Bullock
in "Gravity"!

You were going to
let me die in there.

I would never let you die.

Then who would be around
to criticize me?

[groans]

Okay, I'm sorry
about the other night.

I should never have said that
you can do better than Noah.

So you don't think
I can do better?

To be clear,
I shouldn't have said it.

Oh, my God,
you just can't help yourself.

The guy bails on your
good friend's wedding, why?

Because he's got
a "buddy" in town?

Hey, we are not
doing this today.

It's Jack's wedding.
All right, you're right.



And Noah's friend
is only in for three days.

- That is such a lame--
- No, not today.

And the wedding is in Spain.
That's a big ask.

- He made a commit--
- Not..today!

[upbeat piano music]

Hi, Jack McFarland,
BTB, bride to be.

Um, is it possible to arrange
a surprise announcement

from the pilot congratulating
me on my upcoming nip-shuls?

Sorry, the flight's
been delayed.

Bad weather in Spain.
No, no, no.

It can't be delayed.
Check again.

Do the thing where you do this.

Okay.

It's delayed.

Well, she checked.

Let me take a crack
at this one, boys.

If you can get
this tin bird moving,

I'll blow into your tubes
until you're fully inflated.

- Karen, you're not a lesbian.
- Oh, really?

Then why is my hot
new lesbian girlfriend

about to meet me here?

There, I said it.
She's black.

Oh, look, the flight's
no longer delayed.

- Oh.
- Oh, thank God.

It's cancelled.

[upbeat trumpet

♪ ♪

Wait, so the wedding's
on hold.

- Eh.
- How's Jack taking it?

[horn beeps]
Why?

So, look, I have something
big to tell you.

- McCoy Whitman, is that you?
- Yeah.

Ooh, can I get
a picture with you?

Yeah, sure thing.

[shutter snaps]

All right.
You want to check it?

- They're always good.
- Oh.

It looks like the network
is going to make me

Chief London Correspondent.

- That's your dream job!
- I know.

It's going to be so great.
So why does it-

- Because I'd be living
in London,

and you'd be living here,
and we'd be so far apart!

Hi, we're huge fans.
Can we--

- Of course. Yes.
- Oh, gosh!

[shutter snaps]

- What are we going to do?
- Well, we'll be okay.

I mean, lots of couples make
the long-distance thing work.

Name one.

You can't!

Um, that guy was
in the picture, so do--

- Let's take another.
- Oh, good!

All right.

[shutter snaps]

Oh, I look bad
in this one, too.

Everyone looks bad
next to him!

Move it along.

- Jack.
- Ohh...

please tell me you found a way
for us to get to Spain.

Oh, wouldn't that be nice?
But no.

We are getting married
at midnight

right here at gate 35A!
The nicest of the 35s.

Papi, I know it's not Spain,

but at least our wedding
will not be on a Tuesday.

Oh, thank God.

Because we wouldn't want
our wedding to be cursed

by being forced
to have it at an--

oh, I don't know, an airport!

What--what, do you want to have
our honeymoon in a men's room?

Jack, that's where we had
our second date.

[upbeat piano music]

Welcome to the pre-wedding
cocktail hour.

a castle on a hill in Spain. not

But Estefan did find
an airport White Castle.

And this jar of Spanish olives
for the reception.

So...

yay.

There will also be
no unicorn dessert station,

no magical up-lighting.

I mean, it's an airport.
There's nothing.

[laughs]

[sobs]

Who's going to perform
the ceremony?

That part is set.
Estefan's tio, Alberto.

He's a judge on
"Spain's Got Talent."

- Isn't he in Spain?
- Your point?

Five, four, three, two...

Excuse me.

Oh, my God, I didn't even
think of this.

If Jack's getting married here,
Noah can come.

I'm going to call him.
I have no opinion on that.

I wasn't asking
for your opinion.

- Well, none was offered.
- None was requested.

Nor was one forthcoming.

Oh, go put your
head condom back on.

So I just got off
the phone with the network,

and it turns out
I didn't get the job.

What, no!
Darn it, those dummies.

[grunts]

- It's okay if you're happy.
- I am, I'm sorry.

But I'm thrilled for us.

We both know the long-distance
thing never works.

Yes, I agree,
and that's why I told them

thanks but no thanks.

Wait, why did you thank them
for not giving you a job?

Well, I was
just being polite.

You know how the Brits are.

[British accent]
Tut-tut, spot of tea.

On your marks, get set, bake!

Okay, they--they offered me
the job, but I said no.

Sweetie, you can't turn down
your dream job because of me.

- I don't want to lose you.
- Well, if you stay,

you'll end up resenting me.
I couldn't stand that.

You got to call them back.

I know.

Another round, barkeep.

- Hello, Mrs. Walker.
- Smitty?

You work here, too?

Because of all the death
and illness in my family,

I have to work multiple jobs.

Though I guess dancing
while Wall Street guys

throw lit cigarettes
at me, well,

that's not really a job.

Oh, Smitty.
You are a treasure.

If I wasn't a lesbian,
I would kiss you.

I'm a lesbian now.
You are?

Oh, my gaydar must be going
the way of my hearing

and--and my sense of smell,

and--and my ability
to digest solid food.

[laughs]

Smitty, you got to give a gal
a chance to breathe.

[laughs]

Oh, it's just that
after my marriage ended,

I didn't know who I was
or what I wanted.

And then, Nikki came along
and told me.

And now, I am exactly
who I'm supposed to be.

I think.

I don't know.

Did you ever think
that maybe you're not gay?

You're just lost.

[laughs]

Wait a minute,
that's not funny.

[bright piano music]

Chardonnay, please.

Noah's not coming.
We do not need to get into it.

Ah.

That is such a "you"
thing to say.

- Mm.
- Oh, now you're lecturing me?

I get it, it's a bummer.
He's a bummer.

Are you happy?
Are you happy?

I'm happy enough.
Noah is kind, and he loves me.

You get to a point in your life
where you're lucky

if you get 60%
of what you want.

- Grace--
- It's not sad.

It's a reality.
Don't say that.

You--
No, do not tell me

that I could do better,
because I can't.

I can't do better.
Wow.

I wish you could see yourself
the way I see you.

Because if you did,
you'd know you deserve 100%

of what you want.

♪ ♪

We have another problem.

to marry us. e anybody

You big gay bitch!

I just found out
that you're getting married,

and you didn't invite me!

I know, I'm so sorry.
We totally forgot.

That bothers me, Jack.

If I wasn't on my way to Tampa
to marry my sister--

Hey, you cannot
marry your sister.

In Florida, you can.

I'm not marrying her,
you dummies.

I'm performing the ceremony.
I'm ordained.

Wait, you can marry people?
Would you ever consider, like--

All right,
I'll do it for 75 bucks.

- 25 bucks.
- 100.

- 200.
- You got yourself a deal.

Oh!

Oh, oh!
Oh!

- I'm so sorry.
- No, no, no, no, no.

I'm sorry, I just--
I bit into the--

- Gooey center?
- I call it the pearl.

Oh, please, don't stop eating.

That is the nicest thing
a guy has ever said to me.

I find that
kind of hard to believe.

You know, I was going to get
one of those

sad little airport cookies,
but then, I thought

"why settle for mediocrity

when there is this
deliciousness out there?"

Agreed.

- Marcus.
- Grace.

- Where you headed?
- Nowhere.

My friend is getting married
here in the airport.

Oh, that's where I
want to get married.

- Really?
- No.

[laughs]

Just my indelicate way
of telling you

that I'm not married.

- Smooth.
- Yeah.

[chuckles]

- Where you going?
- Uh, Italy.

Yeah, then France, and then,
I don't know where.

- Wow, that sounds amazing.
- Yeah, yeah.

I just--I woke up one day,
and I thought...

I don't know, you ever just
have one of those moments

where you just--
you rethink your entire life?

Constantly.

[chuckles]

How long you going away for?

Mm, as long as it
makes me happy.

- Oh.
- And as long as I

can pass for a Canadian.
I wish I could do that.

Not the Canadian part.
I'm too loud.

The dropping everything
and just taking off thing.

- Oh, then do it.
- Oh, I--

[scoffs]

I don't do stuff like that.

What, something you want to
do when you want to do it?

Don't make it
sound reasonable.

Look, sometimes, the things
we do without thinking,

they end up being the best
things that we ever do.

Really?
Because I have a Bowflex

and cargo pants
that would say otherwise.

Hey, you wouldn't want to--
with--

Oh--oh, man, forget it.

I'm--I'm going to sound
like a crazy person.

Uh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You just--you seemed so--

[stammers]

Forgive me.
Okay, enjoy your wedding.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

Points for almost asking.

[bright piano music]

Hey, babe.

[laughs]

So wait,
what was the thinking

behind getting married
at an airport?

The DMV was booked?

[clears throat]

Look, um,
I need to say something.

You know how I've said
that being with you

has changed me,
and you've said that

maybe I'm not being
totally honest with myself.

What are you trying to say?

Mm, what do you think
I'm trying to say?

Karen, I can't
say it for you.

[exhales]

It's just so hard.
I just--

I've realized that...

I am...

[exhales]

[chuckles]

Why can't I say the word?
Why can't I just say it?

What--what is wrong with me?
Why am I so ashamed?

Why can't I just speak my truth
and be who I am?

Nikki...

[button clicks]

I'm straight.

[echoing]
I'm straight, I'm straight...

I'm straight...
I'm straight... I'm straight...

There are children around!

[bright musical flourish]

So, about to be married
at an airport.

since Batman married Robin

in that filthy cave.

Look at it this way.

You waited for the right one.
You didn't settle.

You didn't care about
the distance or the obstacles.

And you're both really,
truly gay.

It's not like one of you
is gay and black

and the other one
is white, straight, and lost.

♪ ♪

Buddy, this is your moment.
Today, it's all about you.

I have waited to hear you
say that for 30 years.

If you hurt my Jackie,

I know someone
who will reach up inside you

and turn you inside out.

[purrs]

No, not in the good way.

Thank you.

Gracias.
[coins rattle]

Mi amor,
you look beautiful.

I know.

Queerly beloved,
we are gathered here

under this extremely
harsh lighting

that I wouldn't wish
on my evil twin sister--

she should rot in Hell--

to unite these two "men"...

In holy matrimony.

And now, I believe that
both Jack and Estefan

have prepared their own vows.
Jack?

Estefan, you know me
well enough to know

that I have prepared nothing.

It's true, I know that.

For months,
all I've ever talked about

was having the perfect wedding.

I wanted it to be the greatest
moment of my life.

And now, standing here,
looking in your eyes...

[exhales]

I know I got exactly
what I wanted.

This is perfect.

Flight 201
to Dallas, Fort Worth,

has been moved to gate 63.

Like I said, perfect.

You are the love of my life.

Te amo.

Te amo siempre, Jack.

No, no, no.

- It's going to be okay, McCoy.
- No, it's not.

We're going to break up,

to dating underwear models

and Italian soccer stars.

It's going to be hell.
Ah, well, me too.

What with all the
part-time piano teachers

and no-show Grindr dates.

I--I totally get it.

How do you keep a relationship
going from so far apart?

- You can't.
- Unless...

[Estefan continues
singing in Spanish]

Unless what?

And now, do you, Jack,
take Estefan

as your
lawfully-wedded husband?

Maybe everything else
was not as I planned,

but this moment is.

All eyes are on me
as I say--

I will!
I will marry you, Will Truman!

[screaming] I knew it!

I knew it!

Jack, Jack, Jack, you're
still getting married first.

I'm dying inside.

That helps.
Let's keep going.

[bright piano music]

That was the craziest,
most impulsive thing

I have ever seen you do,
and I have never been prouder.

Yeah, yeah, it's weird,
because crazy and impulsive

is usually your department.

Did we switch bodies
when we opened

that book of magic spells?

You inspired me, though.

I'm kind of thinking about
doing something

crazy and impulsive myself.

Is it something
that has the chance

of making you
more than 60% happy?

It might.

Well, then go.
Go get yourself some happy.

Smitty, this isn't like me,
but I'm happy for my friends.

I guess it makes me feel like

maybe there's a chance
that I'll find love again.

Mrs. Walker, you're hilarious.

We have a boarding
opportunity for passengers

Ma'am are you boarding?

I was just--um, uh,
waiting for someone.

I guess it was crazy.

Hold up.
Hold the gate.
