I bet we've been together for a million years.

And I bet we'll be together for a million more.

Oh, it's like I started breathing on the night we kissed.

And I can't remember what I ever did before.

What would we do, baby, without a...

What would we do, baby, without her?

And there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.

What would we do, baby, without her?

Sha -la -la -la.

What are you doing up? It's five o 'clock.

Yeah, I got a test today and I want to get a head start studying.

What's the test in?

I'm not sure.

Should have gotten up earlier.

Alex, what are you doing up?

Well, I was asleep.

I was having a really hot dream.

British pound was being devalued.

Pence by Pence.

And I hear this tapping in my window.

So I get up and look.

And it's Nick.

On a 16 -foot extension ladder.

Thought he'd come to kill me.

Quite a dream.

I think you're making a tremendous mistake.

I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, come on. Now, it's 5 a .m.

You're standing here.

You're wearing 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.

Why are you doing this?

You know, because I love Nick.

No.

No, I mean, why are you really doing this?

Does it have anything to do with me?

Did I somehow unwittingly drive you to this?

No, Alex.

All right, all right, Mel. You got us over a barrel here.

What are your demands?

Alex, can't you understand this? It's so simple.

Nick and I are in love.

No, Mel. Listen to me.

I really care about you.

And I think what you're doing is a tremendous mistake. Not just because of

Although he's a big part of it.

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 telling you this.

Thank you, Alexei.

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.

Oh!

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

Where have you been? I've been waiting hours for you. Oh, what a night. I'm

coming down the street with a ladder in my hand, and the guy in the corner

starts chasing me. He thinks I'm coming after his daughter.

I'm going to miss you, Alex. I'm really going to miss you.

I know.

Don't go.

What am I saying?

I know, Alex. I feel the same way. It's crazy, but I don't want to leave you

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

God, it's just so hard to believe.

Well, you're going to be walking through that door, and we're not going to be

together anymore.

Albie, don't go.

What am I saying?

I never thought it'd 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.

Now, 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? Oh, great. Another sister at dawn.

What are you doing up?

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

I had this weird dream.

A dream that Nick was peeking in our window.

It really scared me.

It wasn't a dream, Jan.

It's worse.

It's true.

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.

Two people for whom a Roadrunner cartoon is a major cultural event.

We're going to be joined in holy matrimony.

Are you happy now?

Why are you against this?

They love each other so much.

Look, Jane, you understand, okay? I think you're a little young to know what

think 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 them now.

That's where you're wrong.

I'm not gonna sit here and let this happen. I gotta go.

I gotta catch him and talk some sense into him.

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're ready to get married, I'm gonna be living far, far

the fabulous tax -free Bahamas.

You're in your pajamas.

Thank you.

Hi. Hey.

I'm Mike, and this is Aaron.

Nick.

Maury.

Getting married, huh?

Uh -huh.

Hey, Nick.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Sit down.

I hate to ask you, but can you lay a 20 on me?

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.

Me.

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.

We really love each other, and we want to be together all the time.

So we're going for it.

There. That didn't take long, and you both did fine.

Have a nice day.

Can I help you?

Yeah. We want to get married.

Well, you came to the right place.

Mallory, Alex, Jennifer, Andrew, breakfast!

How'd you sleep?

Not that great.

I just can't seem to rid myself of these thoughts of Mallory and Nick.

It's crept into my subconscious.

I dreamt about them.

About him.

Last night.

Hey, so did I.

Did you? I dreamt that Nick was peeking through our window.

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 Nicky eloped.

Oh, no, no.

No, no. Oh, no, no.

No, no.

Alex went after him. 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.

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, Stephen. I am dumb. We saw it coming. We knew something was up.

I should have been out there in the shadows beneath her window with the

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, Elise, when we so casually decided it was a good idea

to let Mallory play with other children.

We deserve this, Elise.

David, we've got to stop thinking about ourselves.

We have to accept the fact that they're married.

And make the best out of it. It's how we'd hoped we'd be treated the night you

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

Accepted?

Never. It is done. It is over, Stephen. 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.

What was it about?

Because my window couldn't matter eight minutes.

Hey, uh, Mal, what's your mother maiden name?

Donnelly. At least Catherine Donnelly.

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

Richard.

Stephen Richard Keaton.

You okay, babe?

Oh, I'm fine. I'm just very excited and happy.

Hey, 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 Aaron and Mike here.

If I get rolling, you could be a married woman in ten minutes.

I'll ask you both to sign right here.

And that'll be $25.

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

Yeah, Lola by the Kink.

How about green sleeves?

Where'd that go?

Alas, my love, you do me wrong to cast me out so discourteously.

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.

No, I thought my family would be there, too. My friends would be throwing rice.

Jennifer would carry flowers down the aisle.

Alex would have praised the gift.

Isn't that how you imagined your wedding?

I never thought about it.

Nick, are you nervous?

Yeah, but I'm trying not to think about it.

We're gathered here today to join you, Aaron, 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.

Oh, 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.

Feels like we're breaking the law.

Yeah, yeah. Like our wedding picture's gonna go up on a post office wall.

You know, like you say, we're starting with a couple of strikes against us. I

mean, your parents aren't here, your friends aren't here, this guy doesn't

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 it.

Okay.

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

these two 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.

That's the marriage I came to thought.

You two kids look perfect for each other.

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 giving you a little something 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.

A little something I wanted to get off my chest.

Okay, all right. I warmed up on them.

Now I'm going to stop your marriage.

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

This is the first for me.

Two marriages wiped out with one objection.

A nuptial double play.

Congratulations.

Well, they've, uh...

Got to be married by now, Elise.

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

Even for Nick.

Stephen, that is not the right attitude. They're going to walk through that door

as husband and wife. We're going to have to welcome Nick into this family.

Not how we pictured it, is it, Elise?

No, not at all.

I always thought we'd be at Mallory's wedding court.

All her friends would be there throwing rye.

Jen would carry flowers.

Alex would appraise the gift.

Let's not forget one thing, Stephen.

She's still our Mallory.

Yeah.

But now he's our Nick.

Okay, okay, now that's them. That's Mallory and Nick. Please, honey, try to

civil. I will. I will.

Mom. Dad. We heard.

Congratulations.

Welcome to our family.

Son.

Huh?

Welcome to our family.

You see, when you marry our daughter, you enter our family. So welcome,

welcome.

We're not married. We changed our minds.

Yeah, we decided not to. It didn't feel right.

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?

Oh, no, no, don't be silly. These things happen. The important thing is you're

in no way related to this family.

Hey, uh, 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.

Hi. Hey.

What?

It's hard to be 18.

It's hard to be 35.

to change your mind.

It just felt wrong all of a sudden. I mean, the excitement and the thrill of

all just kind of faded away when I realized I wasn't going towards

was running away.

Nick felt it, too.

I like that, Nick.

I guess I was using marriage as an excuse.

I mean, 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 going to get easier for you.

All the pressures and the frustrations would just magically disappear, but

they're not.

We're just going to have to work through them. 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.

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.

Didn't do this for me.

She's my sister.

I care very deeply for her.

Her happiness is my reward.

Alex, I can't wait all day.

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
