00:00...frack with America and to deal with the devil.
00:03I don't know.
00:04What?
00:04The devil thinks poor kids should get school lunches.
00:11You don't think that's funny?
00:13It's okay.
00:13Where's Corky?
00:14Here's Minya.
00:15I can't believe you don't think that's funny.
00:18That is funny.
00:20Hi.
00:21Sorry I'm late.
00:23I didn't get much sleep last night.
00:25Miller took me to this Greek restaurant and I didn't get to bed until 3.
00:28Didn't get to bed or didn't get to sleep?
00:31What's the difference?
00:32Difference?
00:33No difference.
00:33Let's get to work, shall we?
00:36Hey Frank, where does that take you on me?
00:39You're giving this back to me now?
00:41Well, I haven't been that long.
00:43It's on beta.
00:44I gave that machine away 8 years ago.
00:47Murphy, listen.
00:48Prime Minister Majors agreed to the interview but it has to be in London at the end of the month.
00:52Great.
00:53Oh, wait.
00:54I've got to check my schedule.
00:55That might be when I'm getting married.
00:57What?
00:57Yeah, you and I are getting married.
01:00Didn't I mention it to you guys?
01:02You regaled us for three hours yesterday with the saga of how your dry cleaner lost a button to your blouse.
01:07But no, I don't recall any mention of your plans to unite your soul with another's for the rest of eternity.
01:13What was the ceremony?
01:14Is there going to be a ceremony?
01:16Hmm?
01:16Oh, um, how's two weeks from Sunday sound?
01:19Two weeks?
01:20Murphy, do you have any idea how much there is to do?
01:23I mean, where's the reception?
01:25Who's doing flowers?
01:26Where are you going to get your dress?
01:28Well, Ashley might want to consider wearing a suit.
01:30I mean, it's more appropriate for, you know, mature brides.
01:33Look, I have no desire to go crazy with plans.
01:39Peter and I want to keep this small and casual.
01:41In fact, don't even think of this as a wedding.
01:44Think of it as a man and a woman agreeing not to date anyone else in front of a whole bunch of people.
01:49So, you're getting married.
01:59Yep.
02:01It's a pretty big decision.
02:04I guess.
02:06You're made it all by yourself.
02:08Gosh, I tell you, I don't know if I could have done that.
02:11I think if it were me, I probably would have been here with you for hours just agonizing over what to do.
02:18Yeah, well, lucky for us, Peter asked me and not you.
02:25Yeah, it would have been nice if you at least told me about it.
02:28Well, what do you mean? I just told you.
02:30No, you told everyone.
02:32You didn't tell me.
02:33Your best friend.
02:34I'm sorry, Frank.
02:36If I could, I'd make it up to you by offering you the chance to be flower girl,
02:40but Peter already promised that to his niece.
02:44Glad to see you're taking me so seriously.
02:46Okay, Frank, if I had it to do all over again, I would tell you first, much earlier than anyone else.
02:55How much earlier?
02:57Okay, I'd tell you on the plane.
02:59No, I'd tell you at the motel.
03:01No, I would drag you into the room at the very moment that Peter...
03:05No, no, Ben, I would have him ask you, and then you could ask me.
03:08Don't forget I even brought it up.
03:09Miles, thank God you're here.
03:15What do you think of his tie?
03:17It's fine.
03:19Yeah, that's what I said.
03:21But that idiot in wardrobe just doesn't get it.
03:24Now, can't we fire him before he does something really dangerous?
03:29What are you doing here?
03:30Why aren't you out shooting footage with the sharks?
03:32Oh, sorry, big guy, but they wouldn't let me do it the way you wanted.
03:36No, they said I had to be in a protective cage or I'd be ripped open by the sharks.
03:42Well, I told them it takes a little more than that to scare Miller Redfield.
03:47But then one of the guys showed me a stump, and I sort of called my bluff.
03:52I'll catch you later. I'm B.
03:54Oh?
03:56Late last night?
03:56See, I didn't get to sleep till three.
03:59Didn't get to sleep or didn't get to bed?
04:03God, Miles, would you stop it?
04:05You're driving me crazy with these nutty brain teasers in your...
04:08Tell Corky I stopped by, okay, stud?
04:18I hate him, Jim.
04:21What could Corky possibly be attracted to?
04:24Don't tell me his looks, because I have it on good authority.
04:26I mean, he's had work done.
04:29I don't think this is music.
04:30Oh, it's just that many moons ago, I faced a rival suitor for Doris' attention.
04:37My response was to date as many women as I could make her jealous, and it worked.
04:42To this day, I tease her about the mistakes she almost made.
04:45Can you imagine?
04:47Doris, Mrs. Tom Snyder.
04:51The woman should kiss my feet nightly.
04:53But who would I go out with?
04:57Oh, please.
04:59Why, in this building alone, there must be hundreds of eligible women.
05:03How about Vicki in accounting?
05:04Eh, she's got that weird hair thing.
05:06Oh, okay.
05:07How about Patty in the tape library?
05:09Eh, too skinny.
05:10Is that rude in the message center?
05:12She's quite attractive.
05:13Yeah, but she's always wearing those gold sneakers.
05:15Oh, for a second.
05:17Her name is Miles Silverberg, not Brad Pitt.
05:19She's got two X chromosomes and be done with it.
05:24The search for the...
05:25Bill, I thought this was supposed to be the light turkey sandwich from the spa menu.
05:31Yeah, so?
05:32Well, it's got cheese and bacon, and it's slathered in mayonnaise, and it looks just like the regular sandwich, only smaller, and it costs twice as much.
05:45Yeah, but it's really paying off for you, Frank.
05:48You look great.
05:50Really?
05:51You think so?
05:52And this, Vandala, is FYI.
06:02Hey, everyone.
06:04I'd like you to meet Vandala.
06:05I'm showing her around town this week.
06:14Where's Vandala?
06:14Where's Vandala?
06:15Wait a minute.
06:16Indeed, Vandala?
06:18The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Vandala?
06:22Vandala, the walking goddess, Vandala?
06:25No, Frank.
06:26She's the supermarket checkout girl, Vandala, and just got a free makeover at JCPenney.
06:32But, Gavirn, I'm a big fan.
06:33Nice to meet you, my cover.
06:35What's your last name?
06:36It's the same as yours.
06:40So, uh, how'd you guys meet?
06:42I don't know.
06:42Where's Courtney?
06:43What parts of Tyler do you see?
06:44I don't know.
06:44Where's Courtney?
06:45Listen, Vandala, you're a supermodel.
06:47Why are you hanging with Miles?
06:49Well, I've been with some wonderful, handsome men in my life.
06:53Miles is different.
06:57I'm with you so far.
07:00He's smart and funny.
07:02Miles, tell him the joke you told me.
07:05No, that's okay.
07:07Oh, come on.
07:08It's so funny.
07:10It's about the devil and the contract with America.
07:13Hey, that's my joke.
07:14I told you that joke.
07:15Really?
07:16I don't remember.
07:17Let's write your name on my son.
07:18Hey, Mark, it's not my joke.
07:20I'm the one who's different from all those other wonderful, handsome guys.
07:23I'm the one who should be hanging with Vandala.
07:25Give it up, Frank.
07:26Listen, I know lots of jokes.
07:30Listen, you stop me if you've heard this, okay?
07:33Knock, knock.
07:34I've heard it.
07:35Oh, man, this thing's really getting out of hand.
07:41So now I need to know, how many slices of pizza would you guys eat at the wedding?
07:45Pizza at a wedding?
07:46It's a great idea, huh?
07:48I'm surprised more people don't do it.
07:51Murphy, this is Vandala.
07:55Have you seen Courtney?
07:56No.
07:56Hi.
07:57Hey, you're from Denmark, aren't you?
07:59Sweden, actually.
08:00Oh, well, that's close enough.
08:02Um, listen, can you tell me how much would a good smorgie cost these days?
08:07I wouldn't know.
08:08Yeah, I'd like to be sorry.
08:11Have any of you guys seen Tucker?
08:13He's not in the editing bay.
08:14Corky, you're here.
08:15I'd like you to meet.
08:17Vandala!
08:18You know each other?
08:24Oh, yeah.
08:24We met a few years ago when I did a story on the fashion industry.
08:27She's the only woman who ever got me to open up about my physical shortcomings.
08:32You know, I still don't know how you'd go out in public with those hideous nail beds of yours.
08:37Promise not to tell.
08:41How'd you two get together?
08:43Did you buy her at a charity auction?
08:48Vandala and I have been seeing each other...
08:51Oh, really?
08:53For how long?
08:54One day.
08:57Two meals.
08:58Yeah, I was prepping a story for the next wave on models who've gone into acting and...
09:03Something just started feeling really right between us.
09:07Well, I just hope you two are having fun together.
09:10Yeah, we are.
09:11In fact, we're about to go to lunch, our third meal together.
09:14Although, if you count that pretzel we had on the street, that would be meal number four.
09:18But you ate most of it and got mustard all over your time.
09:24And I didn't even care.
09:28See ya.
09:29Bye.
09:30Bye.
09:31Ah, poor Miles.
09:33Poor Miles?
09:34Yeah.
09:35Didn't you see those nail beds?
09:37Disgusting.
09:38Well, here we are.
09:48Wait a minute.
09:49This place doesn't look like it has the best fries in town.
09:52Where the hell are we?
09:54A private store.
09:56I'm sorry I had to trick you, Murphy, but I couldn't get you here any other way.
10:00Oh, sure you could.
10:01All you'd need is a chloroform-soaked rag, some rope, and a car truck that doesn't open from the inside.
10:08Goodbye.
10:08Murphy, wait.
10:10This is my wedding gift to you.
10:13Because I know that under that tough exterior is a little girl who always dreamed of a fairytale wedding.
10:20All that's underneath this exterior is a very hungry woman who didn't have lunch because she was promised fries
10:25and instead wound up inside Jeannie's bottle.
10:28Hey, Murphy.
10:29You'll thank me later.
10:31Just give it a chance.
10:32Whenever you've had enough, just give me the word and we'll go.
10:35Okay?
10:36Oh, all right.
10:38Hello.
10:40I'm Scarlett.
10:41How are you gals today?
10:43Okay, I've had enough.
10:44Let's go.
10:46I understand there's always a little stress when your daughter's getting married, isn't there?
10:54I'm not getting married.
10:56She is.
10:57Of course.
10:58Well, you've come to the right place.
11:01Now, tell me, what sort of a function did you have in mind?
11:05Nothing big, nothing fancy, nothing pink.
11:07In fact, nothing.
11:08On a budget.
11:09On a budget.
11:11Okay.
11:13Let's look at some gowns first, shall we?
11:16Because as we say in this business, when you walk down that aisle, if their eyes don't pop, then the wedding is a flop.
11:22Now, here we are going to call the storybook princess.
11:30To frou-frou.
11:31To frou-frou.
11:31Oh, frou?
11:33Oh, now, here's something.
11:36Unspoken romance.
11:37To see-through.
11:38Oh, the eve of m'lady.
11:41I'd rather die.
11:44I like this one.
11:46What's this one called?
11:47The curtain.
11:49Let's move on to cakes, shall we?
11:54Now, our top seller is our all-vanilla six-tiered Swan Lake Fantasia.
12:03All right.
12:04Well, we have the five-tiered Sherry Swirled Garden of Eden.
12:07Well, how about a Sara Lee Bundt cake with some Baskin-Robbins mint chip?
12:14Could we substitute Rocky Road for the mint chip?
12:18Feel free to browse.
12:22Hey!
12:25Look who it is!
12:27Murphy and Corky!
12:29What a coincidence!
12:30Hi.
12:31What are you doing here?
12:32Oh, nothing.
12:33Me and Bendy.
12:34She likes it when I call her that.
12:35We were walking by, and she just insisted we come in.
12:39No, I didn't.
12:40Really?
12:41I thought you did, V.
12:42She likes it when I call her V, too.
12:44No, I don't.
12:46I mean, we're not even talking, not even thinking, you know.
12:50Well, hey, you never say never.
12:53Ooh, you know, Vandala, I think this dress would look just great on you.
12:58No, it wouldn't.
13:00You're right.
13:00It'd look much better off you.
13:01Oh, well, uh, let's get going.
13:06I hear the place out in the street has the best fries in town.
13:09Do they have chili fries?
13:10I love chili fries.
13:12Me, too.
13:14Whoa.
13:15First fast cars, and now chili fries.
13:18We have so much in common.
13:20We'll be on number five.
13:21Cheers.
13:22You don't think they're serious, do you?
13:28Oh, please.
13:29Miles hates fast cars.
13:31Every time I edge a bit over 100 and do a little swerving, he practically bursts into tears.
13:37I know.
13:38He's obviously willing to make time for her.
13:41Time he's never willing to make for me.
13:43Well, if you're still interested, why do you waste time with the sieve?
13:46I mean, Miller.
13:46No, sweetie, would you stop throwing black teeth and beards on all the pretty boys?
13:54I'm not wasting time with Miller.
13:57He's sweet and affectionate, and he always wants to be with me.
14:02So does a golden retriever.
14:03And unlike Miller, they actually seem to understand you when you talk to them.
14:08Listen, we're going out to dinner tomorrow night at Chez Malage.
14:11You want to come with us?
14:12That way you can see if you're interested in using the restaurant for your reception
14:15and get to know Miller better in the bargain.
14:18Hey, throw in a swift kick to the head and you got yourself a deal.
14:23Fine, Murphy, don't go.
14:24If you want to miss out on a good atmosphere of free food and a fun evening, that's fine, Murphy.
14:30Free food? What free food?
14:31Oh, yeah.
14:32If you tell you about a restaurant you're considering using them for your reception,
14:36they'll let you sample their food for free.
14:38Well, what time's our reservation?
14:42Good evening.
14:44I understand you're thinking of having a wedding reception with us.
14:48I'm sure you'll find our staff courteous.
14:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:50Now, this meal is totally free, right?
14:52You're not going to stick me with any sales tax or tip or anything.
14:55We want you to freely sample our menu
14:57so you'll know Chez Malage is the only place to be a reception.
15:01Then sample, we shall.
15:02Fork over the menus.
15:03Charlie, I'm going to roots here.
15:05Well, French food.
15:11Crazy, huh?
15:13Fifty years ago, we were at war with them.
15:16Now we're eating in their restaurants.
15:21No.
15:24The French were on our side.
15:26Yeah, sure.
15:27After we dropped the bomb on them.
15:29If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go freshen up.
15:41Miller's a dear.
15:43But the more time I spend with him,
15:46the more I realize he can be a little...
15:49slow.
15:51A little slow?
15:53I hate to break it to you,
15:54but he just went to freshen up in the kitchen.
16:02Oh, my God!
16:06Of all the places supermodel and actress Vendel and I
16:09could have chosen for a six-meal together,
16:11what are the odds of us choosing the same one as you guys?
16:15Hey, Miles,
16:16Korky flew me into this great deal.
16:18If you tell a restaurant you're thinking of having
16:20your wedding reception there,
16:21they give you all the food for free.
16:23Neat, huh?
16:24Call me crazy, but I'm betting Liz Taylor's
16:26been gripping places with this scam for a year.
16:32Sounds great.
16:33How about Vendel and I get in on the action?
16:35Oh, I don't know, Miles.
16:36Oh, come on.
16:37It'll be fun.
16:39Are you ready to place your order?
16:41Uh, sure.
16:42We'll have one of everything.
16:44One of everything?
16:45Oh, that's right.
16:46There's five of us now.
16:47Okay, we'll have two of everything.
16:49It's fun, huh?
16:50Nice and cozy.
16:53Miller, you're back!
16:55Oh, I just missed you.
16:57Wow.
16:59Miles, hey,
17:00I didn't realize you were joining us.
17:02Listen,
17:03you have got to check out
17:04these self-flushing toilets.
17:07They're amazing.
17:08No, I went back eight times to test it.
17:10I even tried sneaking away from it,
17:12but God struck me dead
17:14if that clever little toilet
17:15couldn't tell when I left.
17:16Miller.
17:21Whoa.
17:23Aren't you that supermodel gondola?
17:28Gondola.
17:30Yeah, right, right, right.
17:31I got to tell you,
17:33I've been digging that picture of you
17:35in those gold lycra stretch pants.
17:37Question.
17:38Do they make them for guys?
17:40Because I think I'd look pretty hot in the world.
17:44Damn, I was afraid this would happen.
17:46What's it matter, Murphy?
17:47Starting to full up on breadsticks.
17:49Wait a minute!
17:51This duck of the raw,
17:53she's out of this world.
17:54You want some?
17:55I don't mean to be rude,
17:56but aren't you full yet?
17:58Hey,
17:58I was full an hour ago,
18:00but pros play with pain.
18:02Please, Dr. Fripp, please.
18:04You know what else I love about Vandola?
18:06She understands my busy schedule.
18:08You know what else I love about Miller?
18:10He always makes time for me.
18:12Well,
18:13you know what I really love about Vandola?
18:14She's always there for me.
18:16I'm leaving, Miles.
18:18What?
18:19Why?
18:19But we're having such a great time.
18:21No,
18:22we haven't even had dessert yet.
18:25Miles,
18:26you haven't talked to me
18:27for the last hour.
18:28It's obvious there's something going on
18:30between you and Corky,
18:31and I vowed never to get caught up
18:33in the middle again.
18:34Once,
18:35but Tom and Roseanne was enough.
18:40Well,
18:41I hope you're happy.
18:43The best thing Sweden sent to this country
18:45since Abba just walked out on me.
18:47Leave me!
18:50I want to go home now, too, Miller.
18:55Well,
18:55gotta go.
18:58Where do you think you're going?
19:05Of course,
19:05we couldn't skip dessert,

19:08Oh,
