Joseph eva great to see you. Getting readyfor the big day . Actually, weve just been taking a walk and discussing the wedding plans. I remember how it was before our wedding. It must have been beautiful. It was outside in golden gate park. All our friends were there. Everyone was singing, crying. Weddings can bevery emotional. No. It was tear gas. Our wedding was held during a protest. Was it political . No. It was her father. Were having some family problems, too. Why cant he be happy for me . Ive tried to talk about it with him, but somehow, we cant communicate. We thought you could talk to him, steven. Joseph, eva,id love to help, but i dont knowhow i could. I barely know david. But you can relate to him. Youre more his age, and you speak his groovy kind of lingo. Besides, who can we go to . Were alone exexpt for the people at the center. Please, steven. We could really use some help. David comes to the center every thursday to visit. All right, ill try. Im not surewhat ill say. Thank you. Thank you. Now we can go on with our walk. See you thursday. Ill be there. Bye. Oh. What was that all about . Well, joseph and evawant to get married. His son davidis opposed to the idea. Oh, well, im sure he has his reasons. Caring for an elderly parent, thats an awesome responsibility. How would you know . Aw, come on, mom. Ive given this lots of thought. Children have an obligation to plan for the day when their parents become a burden on society. I mean, uh. God knows i have. Thats a relief, alex. Your mother and iwere afraid wed be set adrifton an ice floe. Dad, mom, i promise you thats the last resort. No, when your time comes, you get put into the most comfortable, elegant Retirement Center available. Were not going to live in a Retirement Center. Were going to live with you. Well, then its the ice floe. Joseph, eva, hi. Hello, steven. Wheres your camera . Well, sam, im here to paya social call today. Thats great. And i got all made up. I didnt noticeanything different. See what i did with my hair . No. I parted it on the other side. Of the room oh crazy. Steve, can i have a word with you . Oh, sure. What is it . First, i wantto thank youfor coming. David is goingto be here soon. Im sureyoull be able to, but if you runinto any kindof a difficulty, ive just prepareda short list of points you mightwant to make. David, remember when you were 7 years old and i bought you that bicycle . Thanks, but i dont think itll come to this. Hello, dad. Ah, hello, david. My, this isa surprise. Who wouldve expected youto be here today . He comes every thursday. Why dont youpart your hair on the other sideof the room . I know where im not wanted. Cry on my shoulder. Come on, sweet potato. David,can i speak to youfor a minute . Yeah. Sure. Well, look, i. I realizeyou have an objection to your father and evagetting married, but please reconsideryour position. From what i see, wouldnt a marriage make the restof their golden years more fulfillingand rewarding . Look, i appreciate your concern, but it isnt any of your business. David, rememberwhen you w re 7 and i bought youthat bicycle . Dad, if you have something to say to me, try saying it yourself. Why are youso stubborn . Why cant youaccept eva . Shes a wonderful woman. Shes solike your mother. Shes nothing like my mother. You dont remember mom. You want to get married and move on and forget she ever existed. Oh, so thatswhat all this is about. David, dont you know dont you thinkshed want meto be happy . Uh, look,maybe i should go. No. No. Maybe i should. How did it go . Oh, hes impossible, but i dont care anymore. Hes not going to ruin our happiness. We are going to get married, eva, and were going to get married right here in this center. Maybe we could fix it up a little. Throw something over sam. Youll lose the whole look of the room. I just wishit could bemore like family. Look, joseph, eva, my family would be honored if youd consider having the wedding at our house. Thank you. Andrew, arent weddings lovely . I dont know. Joseph and eva arethe first in my crowd to get married. My father tells me youre something of a card player. Aw, well,im nothing special. You play . Uh, me . No, no. Id like to learn, though. Me, too. Black marialowball with a split . Oneeyed jacks, kings with the ax . [knock on door] david. I didnt thinkyoud come. Until a few minutes ago, neither did i. If youve come hereto try to stop me, dont. Uh, no. Listen, i thought a lot about what you said. Dad, you were right. Mom would want you to be happy, and i do, too. And evas a wonderful woman. So congratulations. Thank you, david. This means more to me than youwill ever know. Well, listen, if you can possibly forgive me, id love to be your best man. Theres no better best manin this room. Thanks. Mom, the brides ready. Oh. Uh. Joseph, eva is ready. We can start now. We can start now.
