Hey, mal.

What are you
doin' up? It's : .

Yeah. Um, I got a test today,

And I wanted to get a
head start studying.

What's the test in?

Um, I'm not sure.

You should've gotten up earlier.

Alex, what are you doing up?

Well, i...

I was asleep.

I was having this
really hot dream.

The british pound
was being devalued...

Pence by pence.

And then I hear this
tapping at my window.

[Knocks on counter]

So I get up and look,

And it's nick

On a -foot extension ladder.

Thought he'd come to k*ll me.

[Deep breath]

Quite a dream. Yes.

Mal, you're makin' a
tremendous mistake.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Oh, come on. Mal, it's a.m.

You're standing here.

You're wearin' a white dress.

You're carrying a suitcase.

Now, either you
are a bride-to-be

Or a visiting nurse.

Please, take my temperature.

Alex, sit.

Nick and I are eloping.

Mal, why are you doing this?

You know. Because I love nick.

No. No, I mean, why are
you really doin' this?

Does it have anything
to do with me?

Did I somehow unwittingly
drive you to this?

No, alex.

All right. All
right, mal. You, uh...

You got us over a barrel here.

What are your demands?

Alex, can't you
understand? This is so simple.

Nick and I are in love.

No, mal, listen to me.

I really care about you,

And I think what you're
doing is a tremendous mistake,

Not just because of nick,

Although he's a big part of it,

But because of you.

You're just now starting
to realize your potential,

You're just now starting to get
a glimpse of what you can become,

And if you get married
now, it all stops short.

I love you.

That's why I'm tellin' you this.

Thank you, alex.

I know how difficult
it is for you to be nice.

I love you, too,

And I know this upsets you,

But this is my decision to make,

Not yours or anybody else's.

[Clatter]

Oh.

What, did you guys switch
rooms on me, or what? Ok.

Where have you been? I've
been waiting hours for you.

Aw, what a night. I'm comin' down
the street with a ladder in my hand,

And the guy on the
corner starts chasin' me.

He thinks I'm comin'
after his daughter.

I'm gonna miss you, alex.

I am really gonna miss you.

Mal...

Don't go.

What am I saying?

I know, alex.

I feel the same way.

It's crazy, but I don't
wanna leave you either.

I mean, you've been
like a brother to me.

God, it's just so
hard to believe.

I mean, you're gonna be
walkin' through that door,

And, uh, we're not gonna
be together anymore.

Mallory, don't go.

What am I saying?

Ahh, I never thought it would
be so hard to leave this house.

So many memories for me here.

Yeah. Me, too.

You know what I
really want, alex?

I really want you
to be at my wedding.

I mean, with all
our differences,

You're my big brother,
and you should be there.

Hey, come on, little guy.
You know, it's not that far.

It's just across the
state line in essex county,

Right next to the burger barn,

Where the reception's gonna be.

No.

I want you to take
a good look, alex,

Because next time you see
me, I won't be mallory keaton.

I'll be mrs. Nick moore.

And I will be mr. Nick moore.

Alex, are you all right?

Aw, great. Another
sister at dawn.

What are you doin' up?

I've been up for a while
hiding under my covers.

I had this weird dream.

I dreamed that nick was
peeking in our window.

It really scared me.

It wasn't a dream, jen.

It's worse.

It's true.

What?

Nick was looking in your window.

I guess he was looking in every
window in the house tonight.

Why was nick looking
in our windows?

I don't know.

I guess he wanted to
see how humans sleep.

Did they elope? Please
tell me they eloped.

Yes, they eloped.

People for whom a
road runner cartoon

Is a major cultural event

Are gonna be joined
in holy matrimony.

Are you happy now?

Why are you against this?

They love each other so much.

Look, jen, you don't
understand, ok?

I think you're a little young
to know what's at stake here.

You're wrong. I know plenty.

I know more than you.

Nobody knows more than me.

Well, it's too late now, alex.

They're gone. They're
gonna get married.

You can't stop 'em now.

That's where you're wrong.

I am not just gonna sit
here and let this happen.

I gotta go. I gotta catch 'em

And talk some sense into 'em.

Alex, this is just so mean.

I hope you don't come
and mess up my wedding

When I'm ready to get married.

Jennifer, when you are
ready to get married,

I'm gonna be
living far, far away

In the fabulous
tax-free bahamas.

Alex, you're in your pajamas.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hey.

I'm mike, and this is erin.

Nick. Hi.

Mallory.

Getting married, huh?

Uh-huh.

Nick, can I talk to
you for a second?

I'll sit down.

Uh, I hate to ask you,

But can you lay
a on me? Uh...

The reason I'm asking is I don't think
I got enough left for the ceremony.

I didn't think I'd have
to buy her lunch.

Hey.

You know each other long?

About a year. You?

We met last tuesday.

Wow. That's not
very long, is it?

Well, we met early in the day.

Oh.

We really love each other,

And we wanna be
together all the time,

So we're goin' for it.

There. That didn't take long,

And you both did fine.

Have a nice day.

Well, can I help you?

Yeah. Uh, we wanna get married.

Well, you came
to the right place.

Mallory, alex, jennifer,
andrew! Breakfast!

How'd you sleep?

Not that great.

Come on, kids! Get
it while it's hot!

You know, I just can't
seem to rid myself

Of these thoughts of
mallory and, uh, nick.

It's crept into my subconscious.

I... I dreamt about them.

About him.

Yeah? Last night.

Hey, so did i.

Did you?

Mm-hmm.

I dreamt that nick

Was peeking through our window.

Really? I had the same dream.

Really?

He... He was whispering,

"Mallory..."

"Mallory."

He was in mine, too.

"Mallory.

Mallory."

Was he wearing a
tie in your dream?

Yes, he was.

A blue tie?

Yes.

Mallory!

Mallory!

Good morning. Good morning.

Where's mallory?

Don't blame me.

What do you mean,
"don't blame me"?

"Don't blame me" is not an
answer to "where's mallory?"

They eloped. Mallory
and nick eloped.

Oh, no! No! No! No!

Oh, no! No!

No! No!

Alex went after 'em.

Yes! Yes! Thank you!
Thank you for sending alex.

They had a big lead on him.

No! No!

Where did they go?

I don't know. Nobody
tells me anything.

Why didn't you tell us sooner?

Because it's what
mallory wanted,

And because I'm really
hoping they make it.

No. No, no. Cheryl. That's
all right. We'll find her.

Uh, you've been a big help.
Thanks for your concern.

We're all worried.

If I see mallory,

I'll be sure to tell her
about your new sweater.

You bet. Bye.

Well, we've tried everything.

Friends, police. There's
nothing left to do.

I feel so dumb.

You're not dumb, steven.

I am dumb. We saw it coming.

We knew something was up.

I should've been out there in
the shadows beneath her window

With the entire
ohio national guard.

But instead, what was I doing?

I was sleeping with you.

What a ridiculous
thing to be doing.

You are dumb.

It all started years ago, elyse,

When we so casually decided

It was a good idea to let
mallory play with other children.

Do we deserve this, elyse?

Steven, we've gotta stop
thinking about ourselves.

We have to accept the
fact that they're married

And make the best out of it.

I-it's how we'd hoped
we'd be treated

The night you climbed up that ladder
and crawled into my parents' bedroom.

Accept this? Never.

It is done. It is over.

Steven, I don't like it, but I don't
want to lose mallory. Do you?

No.

Well, if we want
her in our life,

Then we have to be ready to
make some accommodations.

You're right.

You're right.

I had a bad dream.

Sometimes we all
have bad dreams.

Yeah. What... What was it about?

Nick was at my window
going, "mallory, mallory."

Hey, um, mal, what's your
mother's maiden name?

Donnelly.

Elyse catherine donnelly.

And what about your
dad? He got a middle name?

Richard.

Steven richard keaton.

You ok, babe?

Oh, I'm fine.

I'm just very excited and happy.

Hey, uh, you look happy.

Um, excuse me. How
long will this be?

I mean how long will this take?

Well, we just have to
marry off erin and mike here.

If I get rolling, you could be

A married woman in minutes.

I'll ask you both
to sign right here.

And that'll be $ .

Now, is there any special music that
you would like played at your wedding?

Yeah. lola by the kinks.

How about greensleeves?

How's that go?

♪ Alas, my love
you do me wrong ♪

♪ To cast me out
so discourteously ♪

Uh, surprise me.

Nick, I never dreamed
it would be like this.

I always imagined
we'd be married

In a much bigger
place. Didn't you?

I never thought about it.

You know, guys don't think
about that kind of stuff.

And I always thought my
family would be there, too.

My friends'd be throwing rice

Jennifer would carry
flowers down the aisle.

Alex would appraise the gifts.

Isn't that how you
imagined your wedding?

I never thought about it.

Nick, are you nervous?

Yeah, but I try not
to think about it.

[wedding march playing]

We're gathered here today

To join you, erin, and
you, michael, in marriage,

Which is an
honorable institution.

It is the foundation of the home

As the home is the
foundation of society.

Ohh. Sounds serious.

The desire to join
together in love

With another human being

Is both noble and courageous.

Nick, why are you
getting married?

Because you asked me.

No, I mean, if I hadn't asked
you, would you be here?

By myself?

Would you have asked me?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure we're ready.

Then why did you say yes?

Well, you know, you're so much
smarter about these things than me.

I mean, you know, I figured
since you thought we were ready,

We must be ready
and I just didn't notice.

Nick, why doesn't it feel
right? We love each other.

I don't know. It feels
like we're breakin' the law.

Yeah. Yeah, like our
wedding picture's

Gonna go up on a
post office wall.

You know, like you
say, we're startin'

With a couple of
strikes against us.

I mean, your
parents aren't here.

Our friends aren't here.

This guy doesn't know lola.

Maybe my parents are right.
Maybe we're going too fast.

Maybe we could
slow down a little.

I mean, we don't have to get
married if we don't want to.

No. Nobody can force us.

Ok.

Oh, nick, I love you.

Let's not get married.

If there is anyone here
who objects to this wedding

Or could show just
cause why these parties

Should not be legally
joined in holy matrimony,

Let him speak now
or forever hold his...

Stop! Stop this marriage!

It's completely crazy!
They're too young!

Alex, over here.

Uh, that's the
marriage I came to stop.

You kids look
perfect for each other.

Just, uh...

Carry on with your vows.

You know, mike, he's
right. We are too young.

Maybe we are too young.

Oh, I don't know
that for sure, mike.

Just givin' you a
little somethin'

To think about
during the ceremony.

You know what? We
could go out for a while

Before we get married.

Maybe we won't like each other.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Anytime.

You're welcome.

Just a little somethin' I
wanted to get off my chest.

Ok, all right, I
warmed up on them.

Now I'm gonna
stop your marriage.

Alex, we didn't get
married. We decided not to.

This is a first for me.

Marriages wiped
out with one objection.

A nuptial double play.

Congratulations.

Well, they've, uh, got to
be married by now, elyse.

I mean, how long does
it take to say, "I do"?

Even for nick.

Steven, that is not
the right attitude.

They're gonna walk through
that door as husband and wife.

We're gonna have to
welcome nick into this family.

It's not how we
pictured it, is it, elyse?

No, not at all.

I always thought we'd be at
mallory's wedding of course.

All her friends would
be there throwing rice.

Jen would carry flowers.

Alex would appraise the gifts.

Let's not forget
one thing, steven.

She's still our mallory.

Yeah.

But now he's our nick.

[Vehicle parking]

Ok. Ok, now that's them.

That's mallory and nick. Ok.

Please, honey. Try to be civil.

I will. I will.

Mom, dad...

We heard.

Congratulations.

Welcome to our family.

S-son.

Huh?

Welcome to our family.

You see, when you
marry our daughter,

You enter our family,

So welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

We're not married.

We changed our minds.

Yeah. We decided not to.

It didn't feel right.

Oh!

Oh!

Nick, I have never felt
closer to you than...

Than I do at this moment.

Hey, me, too, dad.

Hey, uh, I'm sorry about

Almost marrying your daughter.

No hard feelings?

No, no, no. Don't be silly.

These things happen.

The important thing is you're
in no way related to this family.

Hey, uh, you get
some sleep, you hear?

I will.

I love you, nick.

I love you, too, mallory,
and I always will.

And I'm gonna wait for you,
so you better wait for me.

I will.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Hi.

Boy, I tell you,
it's hard to be .

It's hard to be .

Tell me, honey...

What... What made
you change your mind?

It just felt wrong
all of a sudden.

I mean, the excitement

And the thrill of it all
just kind of faded away

When I realized I wasn't
going toward something,

I was running away.

Nick felt it, too.

I like that nick.

I guess I was using
marriage as an excuse.

My... My life has gotten
so complicated so fast.

I just wanted something
settled, something safe.

Oh, honey, I wish
I could promise

That everything was
gonna get easier for you,

That all the pressures
and the frustrations

Would just kind of
magically disappear,

But... But they're not.

We're just gonna have
to work through them.

You know, we'll... We'll work
through them as a family,

But you don't have to
run away from us again.

Don't worry. I
won't, not that way.

I mean, next time I get married,

I want a big wedding
with everybody there.

Aww, yeah, that sounds great.

You can even invite nick.

Hey.

Well, it was close.

It was very close.

Thankfully I was there in time

To nip it in the bud.

Come on, alex. It had
nothing to do with you.

No, but what you
tried to do, alex,

Helping your sister,
was very touching.

I didn't do this for me.

She's my sister.

I care very deeply for her.

Her happiness is my reward.

[Knock on door]

Alex, I can't wait all day.

Sit, ubu, sit.

Good dog. [Barks]
