♪ ♪

Penny [on TV] :
Sweetheart, are you sure

that seeing him
is a good idea?

When someone
breaks up with you,

it's because
they no longer care.

I didn't invite him,
did I?

He insisted on smoothing
things over

before tomorrow.

What is Matilda doing?

She's breaking in
her wedding shoes.

I'm getting
married tomorrow.

I heard.

Alex and Nicholas
have to get along.

I don't want my wedding
to become about them.

[chuckles]

That's fair.

Do you think
Alex'd believe it

if I answered the door
holding a book?

Penny:
Honestly, sweetheart,
it's all futile.

Everything that you do
from now on

is annoying to him.

[laughs]

Genevieve:
It's just sitting there

with its bad energy
emanating out, haunting me.

Barb [over phone]:
It's not scary.

You need to learn
that romance

isn't a dirty word,
Genevieve.

It's not normal
to write

a speech
about yourself

for somebody else
to read.

And every time
I touch it I feel like

my heart's beating
really fast,

and like I'm falling
into the dark place.

Then write
your own speech.

I'm trying.
I'm really trying.

Barb: Can I hear it?

Good afternoon.

Thank you for coming
and making this day

so special for Matilda.

She's dreamt
of this moment

ever since
she was a little girl,

which was
two months ago,

because
she's a child.

These are
child brides,

this wedding
should be ill*gal

and you should all
be ashamed of yourselves.

Barb: Okay...

I do have
some concerns.

At least
somebody does.

Hi.

Hi.

Yep.

Oh, look.

There's mail.

Mail for me.
I'm a mail recipient.

I'm a big boy.

I'm a big boy
with mail.

[sighs]

Can I maybe get
a glass of water?

Yeah, yeah.
Oh, of course.

Were you waiting for me
to offer you a glass of water?

Yeah.

I can get you some water.
I can...

get our guest
some water.

We got
a water purifying jug.

So...

things around here
are on the up and up.

So what have
you been up to?

Well,

there's this jug...

uh, and, uh...

there's like getting up
and moving around

and then
there's like, uh,

Matilda's wedding.

And, uh...

I think that's it,
really.

What about with you?

I guess I've been
partying a little.

Cool.

Sorry.

Uh, do you wish
I wasn't here?

No. I'm good, fine.

'Cause you've got
a weird energy.

Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.

Nicholas?

Can you stop
pretending

like we weren't together
for a literal year?

Well, you're
the one who asked

for a glass
of water.

[spraying]

Hi, Alex.

Hi, Matilda.

Cool nose ring.

Oh. Uh, thanks.

How are you feeling?

Everything is
ready to go.

Nicholas, did you
tell Alex your news?

No.

I wasn't planning
on doing that.

Oh, what news?

Matilda: You can't be
embarrassed, Nicholas.

You need to be proud.

I am proud.

Just privately.

[sighs]

If you don't tell him,

I will.

[sighs]
Yeah, okay.

I, um...

I got diagnosed
with autism.

So... That's all.

Matilda:
See?

Didn't that feel good?

Feels great. Yeah.

Thank you.

Matilda:
Well, okay.

I'll let
you guys

smooth things
over now.

Well...

I just this second
contracted chronic fatigue,

so I think
I'm gonna go to bed.

Wait, what?

Uh, I didn't know.

Yeah, me neither.

Wh-when did
this happen?

Uh, just after
we broke up, actually.

So this was
because of us?

No, you didn't
give me autism.

But you got
diagnosed.

Yeah, nailed it.
Flying colors.

Nicholas,
I had no idea.

I had no idea.

Yeah.

We don't
have to do this.

Actually,
I think, um,

I'll just say goodbye

and then be
somewhere else.

What? We can't
talk about this?

No. No.

Talking is something
that you tricked me into
when we were together.

But I don't gotta
do that anymore.

Now I'm allowed to just
like change the topic

and go and eat treats.

Nicholas.

Okay.

Well...

I am gonna go,

but, um, feel free
to stay and hang out.

And drink that water.

It's nice water.

But I wanted
to talk about things

so they wouldn't be
awkward for tomorrow.

Yes, we did it.

We made sure, didn't we?
Very good.

Things tomorrow
are gonna be so smooth.

-I promise.
-Really?

Nicholas:
Yes, goodbye!

♪♪

Don't cry

or you'll make me cry.

Genevieve:
Oh, wow.

Yeah, great.

You-you look beautiful.

I need more bronzer,
don't I?

Hmm, what?

No. No, you don't.

I told Britney I needed more,
but she didn't listen.

She didn't put enough
blush on you either.

It's fine.
I'm... I'm fine.

You're fine.

Uh, can you get it
from my room?

I can't do this.

-What?
-You're 18 and you're
getting married.

At first I thought
Toby would say no,

but he didn't.

Then I thought

Nicholas would
stop it,

but he gave you
Mom's freaking wedding ring.

I thought at least
one grown-up would say no,

but they didn't,

and now there's
no one left but me,

so I'm saying it now.

You cannot
go through with this.

Oh, my God,
I made a mistake.

I wanted my lips
to be more plump,

and so I put on
the lip plumping gel,

then I got addicted
to the pain,

and now
they're so red

and they're
so sore.

And I don't know
how to make them

come back to normal.

Nicholas, Genevieve's trying
to stop me getting married.

What?

-No, she's not.
-Yes, I am.

Okay,
first things first.

Matilda, put down
that makeup brush.

This is the one time
I feel like

I haven't been
able to be supportive.

You know that
must mean something.

Genevieve, should we
do a little time-out?

Matilda: I thought
you were happy for me.

You said so
at the proposal!

I was drunk!

-[knock on door]
-Oh, my God.

That's gotta
be the driver.

Oh, just need
five more minutes!

Oh, my God, that hurt
my lips so bad.

Every website
warned me about this.

Can you marry before
you can legally drink?

About jealous
maids of honor.

Oh! You think
that's why

everyone else
hates this idea too?

The whole world
is furious

they don't get
to marry Drea?

-Matilda: Well...
-[cell phone ringing]

What am I supposed
to do now, Genevieve?

[ringing continues]

Oh, God, that's Suze.

Hi! Hello.

Hi!

Just checking in
to see

where you're at.

Uh, everyone's
here already,

and, uh, Drea's
getting all nervous.

Yeah, well,
um...

I need a break.

Suze [over phone]:
Who is that?

Is that Matilda?

Okay,
see you soon.

[line disconnects]

Matilda!

Come on. Hey!

Genevieve,
please.

I need you
to help me here.

Help with what?

It's not helping if
you're helping with hurting.

It's not helping
if you're helping

push them
down the stairs.

But we love
love, no?

Am I the only one
still hanging onto that?

Does she love her?

Is this what
love looks like
to you people?

[laughs]

"You people"?

Sorry. I am.
I'm-I'm really, really sorry.

Oh, my God. I'm gonna
have to do my whole face

just to mask my lips.

I, um, I need to
get out of this dress.

Genevieve, stop.

Don't you
touch that zip.

No, I am.
I can't, I can't, actually--

Nicholas:
Genevieve, stop.

I can't breathe.

We've gotta
accept the fact,

that we're past the point
of stopping this

and into the point
of processing it.

How did you make
your lips worse?

[laughs] I don't wanna
do my whole face

if the wedding's
gonna be called off.

I don't want to.

-Now I'm almost
out of highlighter.
-[cell phone ringing]

Matilda, you're
so highlighted.

Please believe me.
You're...

Hi, Susan.
Hi.

Nicholas,
my main man.

-Toby?
-Toby [over phone]:
Yeah, just, uh...

we're checking on

how things are
going over there, um,

'cause Suze is worried
that we may have

a runaway bride,

starring
Matilda Moss.

No, she's just putting on
more highlighter.

Toby: Okay, he said

she's just putting on
some more highlighter.

[whispering]
He's lying.

[whispering]

Okay, bye.

Drea, what can
I get you?

A wife.

Mm...

Matilda:
I don't know what to do.

Okay, well,
let's just breathe

and take a second, right?
We can take a second.

Great. It only
takes a second

to say the words
"cancel the wedding."

Nicholas: Okay,
what do you think, Matilda?

Should we cancel
the wedding?

Please?

You're being...
so ungrateful.

Ungrateful? What am I
supposed to be grateful for?

This wedding is just
as much for you guys

as it is for me.

Well, how? How could
this possibly be for us?

After today,
I won't be your burden.

Right?

Drea and I will
take care of each other.

I'm setting you free.

No, Matilda.
That is not how we feel.

We are in this, right?

You don't need
to be married off.

This isn't 1862.

We can afford
to keep you.

Matilda, listen,
if the only reason

you're getting
married to Drea

is so that you're not
a burden to us,

then Genevieve's right,
it's a mistake.

That's not the
only reason.

It's not
a reason.

It can't be a reason
because it's not true.

If you really wanna be
less of a burden,

let's start by
putting your dishes

in the dishwasher
when you're done.

[sighs]

Well, I don't know.

It wasn't supposed
to be like this today.

-I'm confused.
-[cell phone ringing]

Suze.

Suze [over phone]:
Nicholas?

-Yeah.
-Nicholas, we are on the verge
of an episode, here.

-Mm-hmm.
-I need you to tell me

that Drea's about to see
Matilda get out of a car.

Hmm.

Suze: How long?
Five minutes?

Hmm. Bye.

What do I do?

Okay. Matilda, Listen.

The only thing
you need to know,

the only question
you need to know

the answer to is this:

Are you in love
with Drea?

Wait, that's
the only question?

-Just--
-I am!

I am in love
with Drea,

and I wanna
get married. I do.

But, wait, that's not
even the point.

She's still


Genevieve,
you're my sister.

Get in the limo
and come to my wedding.

Fine.

But I'm not reading
the speech you wrote me.

Fine.
Read your own speech.

Never wrote a speech.

Fine. Don't read
any speech.

I really don't care.

[cell phone ringing]

Suze.

Hi. Don't worry.

Yeah, I saved the day.

She's here!
She's here!

Okay, everybody.

How we all doing?

That's not gonna cut it.

I want y'all

how psyched we are
for their union.

-[cheering]
-[whooping]

Okay.

[sighs]

Now, before we get
to the official stuff,

Matilda's younger
sister Genevieve

has requested
she say a few words.

Uh...

Uh, hello,
esteemed guests.

Today I stand before you
a proud sister.

We all knew Matilda
was pretty on the outside,

but today we see she is

equally pretty
on the inside too.

Uh, I know that we all think
of Matilda as a role model,

but not many realize

that the biggest role model
in Matilda's life is...

is actually me.

Ever since I was born,

I am the person who Matilda
wished that she could be.

I'm obviously the funniest
and the smartest sister,

but I am also
the most loving sister,

and the only person
who knows

how to make
Matilda feel better

when she's feeling sad.

I sacrificed a lot of
my youth to support Matilda.

Even though she hardly
ever thanks me,

I can see now that
because of my help,

she's ready to take
the next steps in her life.

I've always been
the most important person

in Matilda's life,

and I hope that one day
I will be able to see

how much
she appreciates me.

And I promise
that I will take good care

of my recently diagnosed
autistic brother

when she's gone.

-[chuckles] Yeah.
-Genevieve: Yeah.

Um...

Drea...

Drea, I know
that those are
big shoes to fill,

but I can tell that,
in time,

you'll become
just as reliable

a companion to Matilda
as I have been until now.

Thank you.

[applause]

Beautiful.

Thank you, Genevieve.

Do we say
"I do" now?

Whoa, someone's
ready for a kiss.

Girl, you got some vows
you gotta make first.

Toby: This guy
has such great energy!

He's-he's a natural!

Shh. You think
you're whispering

but you are not.

You have
never whispered.

I'm nervous.

Matilda: Hey.
It's okay, look at me.

We're doing
this together.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

Matilda and I are
lucky enough to have

so many people
who care about us,

because of this,

we've had a lot of people

very involved
in our relationship.

Sometimes
uncomfortably so.

So, um...

Matilda and I
have decided

that we are going to
keep our vows a secret.

Matilda: Mm-hmm.

Drea:
We mean no offense.

Okay...

Um...

-Suze: Ooh. Yeah!

Isn't it wonderful?

-Hello, hi.
-Hey.

-How are you?
-Hi.

Good. How are you?

So good, yeah.

Can I talk to you
about something?

Wait. Can I decide
on the something?

I think you're
gonna like it.

-Am I?
-I wanna say
that I'm sorry.

Okay, yeah, no,
I do like it.

Yeah.

I've been fantasizing
about this moment
for weeks.

-Thank you.
-I just... You're welcome.

I just wanna tell you that,
you know, I'm proud of you

for, like, going out there
and working on yourself.

I didn't really think
that you would ever do that.

What? No...

I'm not
working on myself.

No, I-I mean, just like
you going out there

and getting diagnosed
and trying to better yourself.

And I don't know,
maybe I'm a little giddy
from all the romance

but it makes me feel like
maybe we could try again.

Oh, no, I'm not trying
to better myself.

-Yeah, you are.
-No, no.

Wait...

You know that autism
can't be cured, right?

Like, I'm not trying
to work on myself.

-I'm not trying
to better myself.
-No. Yes.

This is how
I'm always
gonna be, right?

Like, I gave you
my best

and you didn't
like it.

And I just think
maybe that's that.

Yeah, no, no.
Okay, um...

Let me
try this again.

Um, I...
I wanna...

I'm trying to make us
fall in love again.

I don't wanna
change, actually.

Like, I don't need
to change either.

Like, I'm cool.

-Yeah, no. Okay.
-You know that I'm cool, right?

Can I just take
that part back, please?

-Just...
-No.

Yeah, I get it.
I get it.

And, yeah, you can,
but also, like,

that is sort of
how it's been,
hasn't it?

Don't you think?

I don't know.

I just think maybe there's
someone out there for me

that doesn't
want me to change,

and there's someone
out there for you

that you won't
wanna change.

And we should
just like

focus on finding
those people, please.

Okay, I think
I just misspoke.
