just a distasteful memory to each other, we can say we helped create a charming, touching ceremony. What d'you say? What time did you book 'em out on the honeymoon moose? Fine. You stay on your side of the aisle, I'll stay on mine. Wait, wait. Just wait! You're right. You're right, and I agree with you. As members of the wedding, we should put our best foot forward and lie about how much we loathe each other. Good. - Sorry what I said about the socks. - I hadn't done my laundry in two weeks. Anyway, they look great in the gym. So what about you? I guess you'll be getting married in New York. Me and Elaine? Oh, yeah, New York. Big Apple family, you know. - Are you? - Rick and me? - Yeah. - Yeah, I guess. I mean, maybe. Who knows? But sure. Why not? - I don't know. No reason. - OK. Gotta go. - Maurice? - Shelly! - OK if I come in? - Please, yeah. Don't ask me if Holling knows if I'm here or not, cos he doesn't. Don't get spooked. It's just business. Hey, guess what I've got on the second shelf in the fridge. Had it for six months. A Diet Cherry Pepsi. I'll get it for you. Thanks, but it'll just make me pee. So, little missy. - How you been? - I'm OK. Except for when I get the twirly-whirlies. Uh-huh? Well, you're... you're lookin' real good, Shelly. - You're making my stomach gurgle. - That's a start, darlin'. What I'm trying to say is you're not making what I came to ask you very easy. Oh. Well, I don't mean to do that. I'm just as pleased as Punch that you came back, Shelly. I've been countin' the days, tickin' 'em off one by one. Maurice... Do you want me to help you get the words out? You wanna come home to Daddy, right? No! I want you to sing at my wedding. - What?! - It would mean a lot to me and Holling. He walked out on you. He left you standing at the altar in disgrace! He walked back in. And he re-asked me to remarry him tomorrow. I've re-said yes. - What did you expect? - Well... I don't know, I... Well, I thought that we... You... - Well, I thought that I would... - Hop on me? Well, no! Well, not right away. Shelly! Shelly, please... Please sit down. All right, I... I did hope that we'd fool around. But not before I told you how much I'd missed you, how much I'd thought about you, and how I'd dreamed you'd come back. That other day, at the chapel, when everybody kept asking "Where's Holling?", what I kept thinking was "Holling can take care of himself." "But if Maurice passes up a chance to sing in public, he must still be real mad at me." And now you're saying you're not only still PO'd, but that you want me back? Yeah. Isn't a year and a half a long enough time to have a crush on somebody? Wait a minute. Shelly... it was more than a crush. I would have married you. I'm sorry, Maurice, but you can't marry me, cos I'm marrying Holling tomorrow. Besides which, you can't carry a blowtorch for me when I'm carrying little Holling Junior. It's yucky, and it makes me feel weird. I don't understand, dammit! I'm so much... better than he is. You've got to admit that. Maybe you are. But he's better for me. I'm sorry, Maurice. If you'll excuse me, I've got a couple of businessmen waiting to close a big deal. What I always liked best about you, Maurice, was when you'd put on those old show tunes and sing along with the record. Hey! You can't split. We haven't notarised the contracts yet! Come on! One song, Maurice. Give the kid a break. To have wings on your heels on the chance that you'll meet I'm sorry your daddy couldn't stay. - We can always send him a snapshot. - Yeah. Holling's here, Shelly's here, he's here - wearing decent socks. - Got the ring? - Yes. - Show me. - It's in my pocket. - Show it to me. - I'm not gonna show it to you! Oh, for G... It's occasions like these that my thoughts turn to marriage.
