My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) Edit

A bad combination.

A deIuslon...

A good Samaritan.

A great opportunity...

A little.

A lot. I tell oft the bed.

A swing of maybe 40 degrees Fahrenheit represents a packing challenge...

A vislon in pink.

About me?

Accept our ofter...

Actually, I needed to make some phone calls.

Actually, it starts tomorrow.

Actually, it's a very romantic story.

Actually, yes.

Adorable, chocolate covered Kimmy.''

After two weeks of cataloging all his taults...

Against God's plan?

All aboard!

All of a sudden I'm supposed to drop out of schooI...

All right, now!

All right, tolks. Everybody...

All right.

All right. Okay, all right!

All she does is talk about her and Michael's future.

All the pain

Alone together, you know?

Although you quite correctly sense that he is...

Am I gonna be jealous of you for the rest of my life?

And 10 milllon people flying in from all over the world.

And anyone can tell

And bIew me a kiss.

And Dionne turned to me, opened her lovely eyes and said...

And he comes towards you...

And he gives me this look.

And I don't know that I'm necessarily quallfied

And I was there visiting Dionne Warwick.

And I was thinking this could be our last time...

And I will go someplace brilliant, and we'll find her.

And I will love you

And in that time...

And it's wisdom born of pain

And love him and show him that you care

And marry the man of our dreams.

And me in his arms.

And Michael started chasing her before he could answer me.

And needs a brilliant guy that he's close to...

And now that we're through

And squeeze him and love him

And the man of your dreams was always there.

And the way you look

And the way you look tonight

And the world is cold

And then it seems like there's this momentum...

And then you forget you chose it.

And then you say hello

And then you'll never hear it, and you have to.

And thinking and praying

And this is really my last chance.

And this is Walter, my father in Iaw.

And we've been best friends ever since.

And why would you do that?

And without...

And you're off your chair in one, exquisite movement...

And your cheeks so soft

Another contession.

Answer my prayer, baby

Any reIationship over two weeks I should know about?

Are the gods that kind?''

Are you completely insane?

Are you crazy?

Arms at your sides, Please.

As bride to be, she's got you on a technicallty.

At a powerful compIex conglomerate like your father's?

At that moment, I knew I tell the same way.

At the end of six months...

At work I just take time

Bad games, bad pay, bad towns, bad flights...

Bad hoteIs, reaI bad food...

Be prouder still if you were dancing.

Because he sure wants to marry you.

Because he's my friend. He's my good friend.

Before I put on my makeup

Began their unbidden journey.

Being comfortabIe...

Believe me, I've got them.

Besides that I love you, this is even worse.

Besides, she hasn't told anyone. I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Best looking guy in any room.

Big time.

Bite the bullet.

Bizarrely, he's on the telephone.

Breezing through the doors from the shock therapy room...

Brevity is the order of the day.

Brunch tomorrow morning at her parents' house.

But

But all those broken reIationships, all those men.

But he can't accept it.

But he sure can kiss.

But I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you.

But I think you need and deserve...

But I was thinking about you, and I was remembering...

But it's not why I called.

But Jules said, ''No, Pumpkin, no.

But look how much I've gained

But nothing ever could give me one moment's pause about this marriage.

But really doing her a gigantic favor.

But that doesn't excuse any of it.

But then, so are you.

But there it is.

But there's tine tood and cocktalls at a choice of Embassy Suites.

But they don't...

But to love you

But to make that kind of sacritice

But you don't know me

But you know me. I got restless.

But you know what?

But, by God, there'll be dancing.

But, Poopy, we met a long time before that.

Bye.

Call me. 4:00 in the morning, whatever. We gotta talk. Bye.

Can I heIp you, miss?

Can you bring my dress to the church?

Can't win them all.

Cheers.

Choose me. Marry me.

Come back

Come back here!

Come love me again

Come on.

Come on. Ladies and gentIemen...

Common misconception.

Confident.

Could this siren love me?

Could you check on her for me?

Could you excuse us?

Could you give me a minute?

Crazy jealous.

Creme bruIee can never be Jell O.

Creme bruIee can never be Jell O.

Creme bruIee for dessert.

Cuts his tinger, takes my hand, does the same to me.

Damn straight that's how I feel ! Just come out and say it.

Dance? You can't dance.

Dear, sweet...

Death by a mini bar. How glamorous.

Debutante sisters from NashvilIe who are basically vengetul sluts.

Desperate to talk.

Did I tell you my gown was Iavender?

Did I, when

Did she say the wrong thing again? That is so in character.

Do the things that he likes to do

Do you get nervous in contined spaces?

Do you really love him...

Do you smoke, Richard?

Do you think she still loves me?

Do you think that's a bad sign?

Doesn't anybody leave their car unlocked?

Don't architects find a degree sort of an asset?

Don't forget to shave now.

Don't know just what to do with myself

Doris Day Rock Hudson extravaganza.

Drinking and talking, even if it's just over the phone.

E mall.

Earplugs work.

Eric will understand. Or we could go somewhere...

Eric, I need a tavor.

Ever turns you down

Everybody will be busy with more important things...

Everything for you

Except for that hot aftair we'll have twice a year.

Except for that.

Except it makes me tungus.

Excuse me, miss. Are you locked out?

Excuse me.

Filled with happiness.

Fine. I'm an insensitive. sexist asshoIe.

First, do you think she's all right?

Florence.

For a long and happy life together...

For me there is no one but you

For my best friend...

For your cooperation.

Forever and ever We never will part

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart

Forget my tamily, forget my career...

Friction? No.

From some guy who says he saw her in the luxury box.

From: Walter Wallace.

Future father in Iaw. ''Comiskey''

Garden spots, alI.

George and Werner are not in.

George isn't my fiance, Michael.

George likes to pretend that he's gay.

George, answer this, damn itl

George, believe me...

George, how do you think I feel?

George! Oh, my God!

Get on your plane. I'll call at the turn of the century when I've forgiven you.

GIad I heard this before it's too Iate.

Give it up, kid.

Give me two grain!

Give me your ring. Give it to me!

Go on. This is so moving. Kindred spirits?

Go, Granddaddy!

God.

God.

God.

Going to a movie

Good girl. I'm proud of you.

Good night.

Good.

Great, Kim.

Guillermo!

Hair swept up. Haven't touched your cake.

Has God heard your little prayer?

Has won the best woman.

Have you changed your mind? Do you want to marry Kimmy?

Have you still got that ring?

Have you?

He adored me for nine goddamn years.

He belonged to me.

He could never stack up to the one man I measure everyone against.

He doesn't want creme bruIee.

He likes action movies. He reads over my Shoulder.

He loves karaoke bars...

He said that too.

He sucks soup through his front teeth.

He takes a razor out ot this littIe shaving kit...

He thought he was Dionne Warwick.

He was in love with me every day for nine years.

He will be happy...

He'll choose Kim.

He's got a lot to do. I'm the unotficiaI best man.

He's got to choose.

He's got you on a pedestal...

He's just so wonderful.

He's just so wonderful.

He's lucky. One woman in a billion could put up with his shit.

He's not a baIance sheet. He's Michael.

He's nothing Iike me. He's Iike you actually, only straight.

He's racing back to New York. He just came in for a few hours...

He's reorganizing some ot the divislons of the company.

He's sort of wondering...

Heartbreak for me

Hello?

Her dad is this billionaire. He owns the White Sox and some cable empire.

Her tather owns the Sox and cabIe sports.

Here we go. Here's the hair dryer.

Hey, beautiful. it's so great to hear your voice.

Hey, gorgeous, having a good time?

Highlights.

HomeIess, rootIess, lonely...

How can you like someone that perfect?

How can you possibly be getting married on Sunday?

How come I never knew that when I could have had him?

How come you never took some seIlout estabIishment job?

How could he think that my father and I would do such a thing?

How is he?

How is she?

However, this is on loan...

I am a dangerous, criminaI person.

I am being honest.

I am breaking her heart in the short run...

I am just a friend

I am strong I am invincible

I am woman

I called because I met someone.

I came here looking for her.

I came here to confront everybody. I won't sIink away like some coward.

I can 't wait for you to meet her.

I can hardly speak

I can make him happier than she can.

I can picture you there sitting alone at your table in your lavender gown.

I can tell you this now, but I was very worried about you.

I can't believe this! Did you try every key?

I can't believe you're doing this to me. I've come all this way to heIp you.

I can't lose him, George. I'm going to bring him back.

I can't wait to talk to you. I'm in Chicago at the Drake Hotel.

I could be Jell O.

I couldn't let him lose face in tront of you.

I didn't get you a gift.

I didn't realize this was a karaoke bar.

I didn't tell you my dress was lavender.

I do bad things to honest peopIe.

I do not.

I do.

I don't have to let go right away.

I don't know if I can do it.

I don't know what made me think of that.

I don't know what made me think of that.

I don't know. I'm still hoping for a miracIe, I suppose.

I don't send you men anymore. You have no idea what to do with them.

I don't want her to trip, so I'll take this up a tiny bit.

I dreamt that some psychopath was trying to break the two of you up.

I find it attracts women.

I first met Julianne...

I got so contused.

I got this really strange

I gotta tell you, when you

I guess I wouldn't be totally oft base it I said that, in her way...

I guess so.

I had to cover a game in MiIwaukee, and she saw me ott.

I have a confession to make.

I have a point.

I have big plans for dancing.

I have done nothing but underhanded, despicable...

I have offered Mike O'Neal...

I have stolen a bread van, and I'm chasing Michael down Michigan Avenue!

I have this monstrous tavor to ask you.

I have to be ruthIess.

I have to go back this evening. We have a tamily thing in the Hamptons.

I have to pick something up for the ceremony.

I have to say this quick or I'll just have this massive coronary...

I have tour days to make you my new best friend.

I haven't caused a probIem, have I?

I haven't done much that I'm proud of the last three days.

I insist you stay for lunch.

I jumped up on the step and I heId the handIe...

I just don 't know what to do with myself

I just don't know

I just hope that it's soon. Or eIse l'd hate to be you at 6:00.

I just wanted you to get mad at Kimmy.

I kissed him.

I knew...

I know you're in here. The guard saw you come in.

I lost.

I love you. l've loved you for nine years.

I made a command decislon that changed my life.

I made a decislon. It's over.

I mean, I'm not the girl that I once was.

I mean, Jules, how could you do that?

I mean, she's She's great.

I mean, you commit to this wedding...

I miss you. l've been calling you for over a month.

I need a cigarette.

I need that speciaI meat now. Pastry, get ready. It's coming at you.

I need your sweet love

I need your sweet love to ease

I only minored in psych, you understand, but...

I realize compared to creme brulee...

I realize this comes at a very inopportune time...

I received the foIlowing e mall this afternoon:

I remember this one night in Tucson six years ago.

I run for the bus, dear

I said that I loved him, and I kissed him.

I said to Dionne...

I said to Dionne...

I saw her.

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

I think about that night all the time.

I think I'm gonna cry.

I think you ought to Iisten to her. it's her life too.

I thought I was like you, and proud to be...

I threw the list away.

I told him to make you best man, but he had to go with his baby brother.

I told him, puppy. If we're engaged, we Shouldn't be ashamed of it.

I travel every week. Got coIlege baIl, mofor sports, training camps.

I tried it on, and it won't come otf.

I tried to steal him.

I want him to work for my father.

I want to be with the man I love. That's what makes it a honeymoon.

I want to stay in schooI, and I want a life of my own.

I want you to quit this shit.

I wanted to. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops...

I was gonna predict that.

I was just trying to win you...

I will be around just waiting for you

I will feel a glow

I will kill your family it you don't get this right. I need this perfect.

I work in a low paying, zero respect job...

I wrote that.

I'd baby sit you, but my loyaIty is to the bride in her time of need.

I'd buiIt you up so much...

I'd have to check. I keep it on Powerbook these days.

I'd like to take you to the church...

I'll be right back.

I'll be there.

I'll teIl you why, because that isn't you.

I'm a busy girl. I've got four days to break up a wedding...

I'm better with food.

I'm completely out of sneaky ideas. I have come to the end...

I'm glad you didn't get on that train.

I'm going to give him up to some two faced, big haired food critic!

I'm holding tour or five e malls I wrote over lunch. Send those too.

I'm in a meltdown here! She double crossed me!

I'm IsabeIIe Wallace.

I'm JuIes' fiance, George.

I'm just saving it for a few hours...

I'm just surprised it hasn't come up, that's all.

I'm like the fungus that feeds on pond scum.

I'm not coming back senlor year.

I'm not kidding. I had to tace up to my competitive drives.

I'm pond scum.

I'm so gIad you're here.

I'm so lonesome for you

I'm so used to doing

I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm speechIess.

I'm the bad guy.

I'm writing it up as...

I've been thinking a lot the Iast coupIe of days, about us.

I've changed.

I've just been too arrogant and scared to realize it.

I've never been to Texas.

I've never felt this way about anybody.

I've never had a sister.

I've seen you a lot more naked than that.

If he was feeling what I'm feeIing...

If I could just get up to Walter's oftice, they're by the computer.

If I fall asleep on the altar tomorrow, you'd better be there.

If we've never married, we marry each other.''

If we've never married, we marry each other.''

If you want.

In a mental institution.

In a mental institution.

In my company.

In our reIationships with other peopIe...

In the beginning, it was mostly this prlor claim.

Including marriage or romance or even

Indeed. Worked for me.

Is hold him and kiss him MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING

Is in your hands.

Is that okay?

Is that right?

Is that there is nothing annoying about her perfection.

Is this a reaI interview or some cute guy...

Is this Michael's Julianne?

It always seemed...

It doesn't bother me now, but I'm not Kimmy.

It happens.

It I could just tell you one thing first.

It is not going well !

It is vuinerable and endearing. And that is annoying as shit.

It is.

It needs the sun and the rain

It San Antonlo sweeps Sacramento, we could start there. ''Chicago HiIton And Towers''

It she'll still have me.

It wasn't supposed to get sent.

It would be the greatest thing that ever happened to him.

It would've been a nice wedding.

It'd be like getting AI Capone on tax evaslon.

It'll kiII you.

It's a crime

It's a nonsmoking tloor too.

It's a nonsmoking tloor.

It's a sculpture of the David.

It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

It's been a whiIe. I'm just gonna take your word on that.

It's been over for ages...

It's for the best. It really is.

It's funny, huh?

It's George. I've told you about George. He's my editor.

It's going to be okay. Please, no pictures.

It's horrible.

It's irritatingly perfect.

It's Jell O, but maybe that's what he needs.

It's kind of embarrassing to say it this way, but...

It's like it never happened.

It's my Michael. Michael O'Neal. Sounds desperate to talk to me.

It's no big deaI. She just gave us the wrong keys.

It's not like I'm sending it.

It's not.

It's only six months. lt would mean so much to me.

It's over. She denied it.

It's pretty fIattering.

It's really my father who needs the favor.

It's so

It's so wondertul!

It's sweet of you to want to be protective...

It's time for you to force yourseIf to get personal.

It's Wednesday night.

Jell O makes him comfortabIe.

Jules, I'm scared.

Jules, we're getting married this Sunday.

Jules, you are not the one!

Julianne Potter, this is Hank and Eric from Sport magazine.

Julianne was there visiting some French chef...

Julianne was there visiting some French chef...

Julianne's fiance. They're going to be married.

Just do it and after you do

Just give me 30, 35 years.

Just in town for a quick pre conjugal visit, it you catch my drift.

Just leave me alone, you bitch!

Just once.

Just one thing. Stay away from

Just stepped out. It's a no smoking room.

Just tell him you love him.

Just the way you look

Just the way you look tonight Remember?

Just thinking of you

Just wait.

Just wishing and hoping

Kim said when Michael turned the job down that there was no friction.

Kimmy hates to sing. She hates it.

Kimmy? Kimmy. Kimmy? Kimmy.

Kiss him good bye and go home.

Kissed him...

L've always been uncomfortable around rich people.

L've been on a book tour.

Let me make you happy.

Let's not take the attention away from Kimmy.

Let's stop for a drink. You can take a later tIight.

Lf he gives you any grlet, come see me.

Lf you can't come and hold my hand, I'll never get through this.

Lf you turn me down, I don't know what I'll do.

Lf your new love

Like a night in the forest

Like a sleepy blue ocean

Like a summer rose

Like a thousand years ago.

Like a walk in the rain

Like all those flighty nitwits I'd always pitied.

Like most devastatingly handsome single men of his age are...

Like some glittering...

Like the mountains in springtime

Look at her skin. Who does her hair?''

Look, tell him you love him.

Losing jobs...

Love is a strong word...

Love the bag, love the shoes, love everything. Love to.

Love?

Loving him means loving all of him.

Lower, actually.

Lower.

Ls something wrong?

Lt I didn't have to hate her, I'd adore her.

Lt must have hurt going through so many guys and never finding the right one.

Lt would only be six months maybe.

Lt's a four day wedding with all the traditional events...

Lt's his career. I'm supportive. I've been everywhere.

Lt's Jules. Have you gotten a call from Kimmy?

Lt's Michael. Jules, it must be months, huh?

Luckily, I woke up and I see...

Maybe I'll go back to New York for awhile and hang with you.

Maybe it's Congratulationss.

Maybe Michael couldn't commit to this marriage...

Maybe not the actual truth.

Maybe there won't be marriage.

Maybe there won't be sex.

Maybe you could go down to the lobby.

Me hanging on in the rain.

Me too.

Michael and I are the same person: self absorbed and vaguely loveable.

Michael and I were a wrong tip right from the start.

Michael can see it.

Michael does a favor for Walter.

Michael trusted you, so I trusted you.

Michael will not...

Michael? A job like that?

Michael's chasing Kimmy?

Mom!

Monday morning, crack of dawn, Walter will walk you right up there.

My best friend these days.

My bride to be here is about to kick some ass on

My darling, believe me

My daughter joins me in this plea...

My daughter's every happiness...

My evil plotting to have that manicure, but it's too late now.

My exit!

My God, it's the bride and the woman she'll never live up to.

My handsome new son scarcely did you justice.

My heart is beating so

My husband says to scoot you to the baIlpark...

My job never bothered you before.

My job's not good enough. I'm not good enough.

My new son in Iaw...

My sister was licking an ice sculpture, and her tongue troze right to it.

My wedding. You'd think my boss would leave me alone.

Never can tell.

Never.

No potentiaI for long range IikabiIity.

No, I said good bye.

No, she doesn't want to, Michael. Leave her alone.

No, you don't know the one

No! It's just wonderful !

Nobody trusts anybody anymore?

Nobody's doing business.

Not even terribly imaginative things since I got here.

Not that long, but a long time.

Not the person I was expecting.

Not you. You wouldn't be comfortable unless you were distinctive.

Now I love this man, and there is no way...

Now I'm just scared.

Now it's got this phlegm rattling thing happening behind it.

Now let's hear from the maid of honor, the lovely Julianne.

Now, for God's sake, the wedding is at 6:00 p.m.

Now, relax. We don't want your face coming off with it, do we?

Of his snoring? He says it's worse than ever.

Of my rapidly fraying rope!

Oh, but you're lovely

Oh, how I love you

Oh, my God. Race you to the altar.

Okay, kid, you're up.

On the other hand...

One thing tirst. Excuse me.

Or a cleaning woman or, you know, some kind of

Or is this just about winning?

Or Phoenix. Or depending on the Indiana CIeveIand game

Or you're just averaging 30 days to return a call.

Ot course.

Ot Miss Kimberly Wallace!

Passes you by.

PeopIe think...

Perfection can get wearing atter awhiIe.

Perfectly harmIess.

Planning and dreaming

Planning and dreaming his kisses will start

Please come.

Please give it up for the dazzIing vocal styIings...

Please put her on. Thanks.

Please, tell him it's my fault and I love him.

Please! You'll never catch her!

Please?

Please.

Please.

Plus, she's got billions of dollars, and she's apparently perfect.

Present company excepted.

Pretending to be my friend, and I made you my maid of honor!

Probably drumming your fingernails on the white linen tablecloth...

Produced an unconsclous, psychosomatic...

PubIic relations is a reaI probIem area for him.

Putting her career on hold to toIlow you around in this dumb job...

Radiant with charisma.

Ready? Okay.

Really?

Remember, it is the duty of the best man...

Right.

Save for later.

Say you love me too

Say, Pinky, I wanna hear you sing. Come on.

Seemed like

Send out this, this, not this, this.

Serlously.

SettIed...

She couldn't sit down for seven years until she met teensy weensy littIe me.

She does possess strong feelings

She moaned.

She said I was crazy and paranold.

She said, ''How could I call it oft?

She serlously can't sing a note.

She slipped out, the little monkey, during the commotion.

She would be so miserabIe tagging along after this insensitive doofus.

She'd sent insane with a bad review...

She's 20. Her name's Kim. You're gonna love her. She's beautiful.

She's a junior at the University of Chicago.

She's crazy about you.

She's probably with Michael doing the nasty.

She's toast.

She's very good on the Psychic Friends Network.

She's Whitney Houston's aunt.

Shocked? No.

Shouldn't you promote a bridesmaid or someone you've known longer?

Show him that you care just for him

Shut up!

Since I've met Michael, all I've heard is ''Julianne this'' and ''Julianne that.''

Sleek, stylish...

So all of this has been about George?

So do you think he'd really accept?

So don't go feeling all sorry for Miss Preteen Illinois.

So dumb, in fact, that I can't. But I'm gonna.

So I cried for maybe the third time in my entire life...

So I get up the nerve to break his heart...

So if you're looking to find love

So if you're thinking of how great

So Kimmy would be

So raise our glasses and wish Mike and Kim every happiness...

So sometimes

So this is your basic call off the wedding party?

So you can hang with Michael.

So you can walk down that aisIe...

So you've met her parents?

Some people might find that kind of perfection boring...

Somebody has to be in this building! I need a brick.

Someday

Sometimes she does wear pink.

Sometimes...

Sophomore year at Brown...

Steal the bride's teIlow, and I haven't one clue how to do it.

Successtul.

Suddenly, a familiar song.

Suddenly, Michael realizes...

Sure, she does.

Surely, she must be the understudy to some fabulous Broadway star.

Take your time.

Takes a few hours.

Taking off a weekend to get married?

Tearing my fears apart

TeIl her I'll marry her at 6:00...

TeIl him you were afraid of love, afraid of needing.

Tell him the actuaI truth?

Tell him this is the worst, cruelest, dumbest moment to do this to him...

Tell him you've loved him for nine years...

Thank God you were here.

Thank you.

Thank you...

Thanks, Richard.

That cruds up the tungus that teeds on the pond scum.

That expIains the thump.

That he can completely trust.

That is, it you've absorbed enough profanity.

That part I knew.

That someday we'd end up like this:

That sounds like three favors, doesn't it?

That the world is just as it Should be...

That was just terribIe!

That way...

That won't get you into his arms

That won't get you into his heart

That you can share

That's all l've ever been

That's beside the point. We were interrupted.

That's great.

That's it.

That's JuIes.

That's what you came here to do.

The answer was so simple.

The bathroom's a swamp. He wears Reeboks to dinner.

The best times of my life, maybe.

The doorman told me. And you are singing the song.

The e mall that Walter sent to your boss

The exquisite tragedy.

The guy's a one man festival of idlosyncratic

The little twerp groveledl She's so wrong for him.

The misery...

The moment I wake up

The moment I wake up
