Pleased to meet you, sir.
- Holling, please.
- Holling.
Isn't he just the coolest?
I gotta go to Betsy Palmer's
to get my dress fitted.
Why don't you sit down, get a little buzz
on and get to know each other?
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Bye.
So, uh... can I get you anything?
You got any Drambuie?
Uh... no.
Well, then a pitcher of draught
should do it.
You know, to be honest, I was...
I was kinda hopin' Shelly would
get hitched to that astronaut fella.
Have you ever met Maurice?
I... I admit he don't have
all his oars in the water,
but he's sure got a lot of cash, huh?
I guess it must be strange
for a father like yourself
to be giving away his only girl
to a total stranger.
Not really.
Shelly took off when she was 14,
and she's been down a road or two
since then, huh?
- You been married before?
- No. No, no, I haven't.
Four-time loser, myself.
- Anyway, good luck.
- Well, thank you very much.
I don't think I'll need it. I want you to
know that Shelly and I are very much in love.
I wanna do this right by formally asking
for your daughter's hand in marriage.
How old are you?
I'm 62.
Mr Masuto respectfully says
you're putting your head up,
and that your grip is all wrong.
But he'd be honoured
to play another round.
Well, you can tell Mr Masuto
that I would be honoured to honour him.
Smart shank, Fleischman.
You're forging a bond with these ninjas
tighter than a G-string on a sumo wrestler.
- I wasn't trying to.
- And by letting them win,
you're lulling them into
a false sense of superiority.
How long before this deal is closed?
These guys make me nervous.
We'll seal the hatch on it after I take
Wing and Wang upriver tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Shelly's getting married tomorrow.
- So?
- She wants you to sing at the ceremony.
I can't very well do that if I'm gonna
be in the next county all day, can I?
- I guess not.
- You guess right.
Look, Maurice, I've been jilted.
Everybody's been jilted.
What's jilted got to do with anything?
I wish 'em well. I... Well, I really do!
If she wants to live over a bar
with a man who doesn't believe in guns...
If that'll make her happy,
that's fine with me.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- Where is he?
You were supposed to bring him.
Where is he?
- Maurice asked me to send his...
- Not Maurice. Holling.
- Holling? Holling isn't here?
- The best man should keep tabs on him.
But all you care about is wheeling
and dealing on plastic grass!
- Maggie...
- You don't care about her.
Look, O'Connell...
Maggie, it's not Dr Fleischman's fault
Holling didn't come.
If you leave now,
you can make the graveyard shift.
- Oh, no. Don't think that, Shelly.
- She's right. Don't think that.
You know Holling.
He probably just forgot what time it is.
It hasn't even been an hour yet.
I looked everywhere, and he's nowhere.
Well...
OK, I'm gonna go. Hold this a second.
This is no longer bonding, defined as
"that which binds, links, unionises".
This is playing golf in a thunderstorm,
defined as "absurd and totally insane"!
Come on, son. Look at 'em out there,
quackin' away like
a couple of mallards on a marsh.
I'm talkin' about me!
Joel, unless I'm mistaken, I didn't ask you
in. You asked to be let in. Am I right?
Yes, but...
And this is your first taste of wheelin'
and dealin' with the big boys, right?
Granted, it's a little humid out there,
and you are sounding a little nasal,
but the forecast for this deal
is sunny and mild.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- When's the deal gonna close?
- Soon. Trust me.
- OK, but...
- Shh!
This is Chris,
and we're on the phone lines.
- Who am I talkin' to?
- Jewels, up on the Kayak River.
- Jewels, what's on your mind today?
- I went up to Baker's Point to find Holling.
- He used to make camp there with...
- Cut to the chase, Jewels.
Alll saw was a couple of empty beer cans
and used condoms.
Not a trace of Holling. Not even a track.
He's halfway to the Arctic Circle now.
Where's
