1
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:39,432
The past four years
2
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:41,974
it's been my honor
to serve as your governor,
3
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:43,441
and with your support
4
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:47,002
I will continue to fight
for each and every one of you.
5
00:00:52,452 --> 00:00:54,545
Aren't you clapping
a little too hard?
6
00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:56,452
I can't help it.
That was fantastic.
7
00:00:56,523 --> 00:00:58,423
His speechwriter
must be brilliant.
8
00:00:58,491 --> 00:00:59,480
Yeah, he's okay.
9
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,925
If he isn't appreciated here,
he can always go work
10
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:04,589
for one of the other campaigns
begging for his services.
11
00:01:04,664 --> 00:01:05,961
It's a free country.
12
00:01:06,032 --> 00:01:08,057
...increase Maine's minimum wage
13
00:01:08,134 --> 00:01:10,329
to keep pace with the cost of living.
14
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:13,634
In the last four years...
15
00:01:13,706 --> 00:01:16,368
Of course, there are perks
to working for the governor.
16
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:18,172
Yeah, his really hot daughter.
17
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:21,145
I was thinking of the dental plan,
but she's okay too.
18
00:01:21,214 --> 00:01:25,514
- He's so lucky to have her.
- Oh, he knows that.
19
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:28,247
That's why he's been waiting
for the perfect time to do this.
20
00:01:28,321 --> 00:01:30,084
I know that we will succeed.
21
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:34,455
And I want to thank my family
22
00:01:34,527 --> 00:01:37,496
for their love and support--
my beautiful wife Claire...
23
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:41,925
and my wonderful daughter Maggie.
24
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:04,586
Ben, you're an excellent
campaign manager,
25
00:02:04,657 --> 00:02:07,558
and I'm sure you're gonna make
an equally fine son-in-law.
26
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:11,529
Don't worry, Governor. Marriage
and politics aren't that different.
27
00:02:11,598 --> 00:02:14,533
The key to success is
finding the right candidate.
28
00:02:14,601 --> 00:02:17,900
Yes, except marriage
is even better-- no term limits.
29
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:21,168
Oh, this is so exciting! We can
have the ceremony right out here.
30
00:02:21,241 --> 00:02:24,404
Ben and I were thinking
of something small and intimate.
31
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:27,571
It'll have to be. You can't fit
more than 400 guests out here.
32
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:30,116
Okay, when I say "small"...
33
00:02:30,183 --> 00:02:31,616
You know she always gets her way,
34
00:02:31,684 --> 00:02:34,278
so you might as well give in
and save yourself the grief.
35
00:02:34,354 --> 00:02:36,720
- That's true.
- Well, okay, then.
36
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:41,089
An intimate little 400-person
backyard wedding it is.
37
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:43,629
First Saturday in September's
perfect for a wedding.
38
00:02:43,696 --> 00:02:46,130
The leaves won't have
started to change.
39
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:49,100
There'll be no showy foliage
competing with the bride.
40
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:51,034
Yes, I'll be the one in white...
41
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:52,869
or at least ecru.
42
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:55,601
Your wedding planner's going
to have something to say about that.
43
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:57,165
Do you have someone in mind?
44
00:02:57,243 --> 00:02:59,143
I hadn't even thought of that.
45
00:02:59,212 --> 00:03:00,577
Oh, what about Shel?
46
00:03:00,647 --> 00:03:02,308
- Shel?
- Who's Shel?
47
00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:04,873
Ben's brother. Don't you think
he would be perfect?
48
00:03:04,951 --> 00:03:08,409
- Your brother is a wedding planner?
- More of a party planner.
49
00:03:08,488 --> 00:03:11,150
He was telling me he's always
wanted to get into weddings.
50
00:03:11,224 --> 00:03:12,782
Don't you think he'd be great?
51
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:16,556
Sure, if you want to have fun,
but this is a wedding.
52
00:03:18,531 --> 00:03:20,089
I mean a formal wedding.
53
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:23,329
When I think of Shel,
my mind doesn't go to formal.
54
00:03:23,903 --> 00:03:25,996
Mojito time! Who wants?
55
00:03:26,072 --> 00:03:27,300
Over here!
56
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:31,468
Mustn't go to waste.
There are people sober in China.
57
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:33,205
Whoa! Kids!
58
00:03:33,279 --> 00:03:34,610
Turn that off, Mark.
59
00:03:34,681 --> 00:03:36,410
I hate being on camera.
Turn that off.
60
00:03:36,482 --> 00:03:38,040
I said cut! Cut it!
61
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:41,043
Nope, not, no, no...
62
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,111
I'm cutting you two O-F-F!
63
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:45,487
Yes, you can have.
Open up.
64
00:03:45,558 --> 00:03:47,685
And... done with you.
65
00:03:49,596 --> 00:03:50,620
Hey, Shel.
66
00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:53,325
Ben! What's wrong?
Mom and Dad okay?
67
00:03:53,399 --> 00:03:55,299
Yeah, they're okay. Why?
68
00:03:55,368 --> 00:03:57,302
Shel! Mayo!
69
00:03:57,370 --> 00:03:58,530
Hold on a second.
70
00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:02,504
Garlic, herb, or spicy aoli?
71
00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:04,099
Garlic!
72
00:04:04,177 --> 00:04:05,644
Incoming!
73
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,078
You know I can't catch.
74
00:04:14,153 --> 00:04:16,383
I know. It's just so much
fun watching you try.
75
00:04:18,524 --> 00:04:20,651
- Ted, Ben's here.
- Ben!
76
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:22,490
Oh, no! What's wrong?
77
00:04:22,562 --> 00:04:26,020
Can't I visit my brother without
there being something wrong?
78
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:28,033
Yes, but you never have.
79
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,591
Well, I am now.
80
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:32,633
Look, if you're too busy,
I'll just...
81
00:04:32,705 --> 00:04:34,866
We'll talk in a second.
Let me flip my burgers.
82
00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:37,432
- Turkey, beef, soy, or veggie?
- Sure.
83
00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:51,512
Move, move.
84
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,189
- What are you doing?
- Get over here.
85
00:04:58,431 --> 00:04:59,591
Hey, there.
86
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,188
Hey.
87
00:05:01,267 --> 00:05:03,098
I live in 203. Dan.
88
00:05:04,771 --> 00:05:05,931
Ben.
89
00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:09,965
So, uh... how do you
know Shel and Ted?
90
00:05:10,476 --> 00:05:11,943
I'm Shel's brother.
91
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:13,740
Oh. Cool.
92
00:05:13,813 --> 00:05:14,973
I'm engaged...
93
00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:16,808
to a woman.
94
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,647
Needs some more mustard.
95
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:26,288
Who was that?
96
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:28,884
I can't believe it!
You and Maggie are getting married!
97
00:05:28,961 --> 00:05:31,759
My God, we love her!
You'll have such beautiful children!
98
00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:34,459
- Congratulations, Ben!
- Thanks, Ted.
99
00:05:35,034 --> 00:05:37,434
So, anyway,
100
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:39,596
we're thinking
of a September wedding,
101
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:41,867
and if you're available,
I was hoping that--
102
00:05:41,941 --> 00:05:43,272
I would be your best man?
103
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:45,174
I would love to!
104
00:05:45,244 --> 00:05:48,213
Actually, I was--
I was gonna ask Wayne.
105
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:49,270
Oh.
106
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:51,112
- I've known him since...
- No, no, no.
107
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:52,811
I'm sorry. I didn't mean--
108
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:54,944
No, I shouldn't have assumed.
I'm sorry.
109
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:57,751
So, Ben, what were
you going to ask?
110
00:05:57,824 --> 00:05:59,155
Oh, right.
111
00:05:59,225 --> 00:06:02,217
Uh, listen--
and feel free to say no--
112
00:06:02,295 --> 00:06:05,059
but Maggie thought--
well, we both thought--
113
00:06:05,131 --> 00:06:08,464
that, uh, that you might want
to be our wedding planner.
114
00:06:10,903 --> 00:06:14,566
My first wedding!
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
115
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,232
Mine too.
116
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:17,469
Okay.
117
00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:19,943
I'm glad he was
so excited about it!
118
00:06:20,012 --> 00:06:21,172
Yeah.
119
00:06:22,648 --> 00:06:24,411
Okay, what's wrong?
120
00:06:24,484 --> 00:06:25,917
Nothing.
121
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:27,452
It's just that, you know,
122
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,011
things are a little awkward
between me and Shel.
123
00:06:30,089 --> 00:06:31,920
Growing up,
we were inseparable.
124
00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:34,482
Little League, fishing,
building forts.
125
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,324
He even followed me all the way
to Maine for college.
126
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,365
All the way to Maine
from New Hampshire--
127
00:06:39,432 --> 00:06:41,263
what is that, like,
a 20-minute trip?
128
00:06:42,335 --> 00:06:43,427
Sorry.
129
00:06:43,503 --> 00:06:44,970
So, what happened?
130
00:06:45,037 --> 00:06:48,165
Nothing happened.
We just, uh...
131
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:50,038
just sort of drifted apart.
132
00:06:50,109 --> 00:06:51,974
I told him I was gay,
that's what happened.
133
00:06:52,044 --> 00:06:54,945
Of course it wasn't
because he's gay.
134
00:06:55,014 --> 00:06:56,709
I was always fine with that.
135
00:06:57,717 --> 00:07:01,209
He turned white as a sheet
and started mumbling something--
136
00:07:01,287 --> 00:07:03,278
"I've got to get to rugby practice."
137
00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:06,482
It hasn't really been the same since.
138
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:09,686
That's why I never
came out to my parents.
139
00:07:09,762 --> 00:07:12,526
You know, I figured
if Ben couldn't handle it,
140
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:16,056
an old-school union guy
like my father would finish his beer,
141
00:07:16,135 --> 00:07:19,468
have a final burp,
and then keel over dead.
142
00:07:19,539 --> 00:07:22,804
Well, on the upside,
this wedding is a great opportunity...
143
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:24,843
...for you and your brother
to get close again.
144
00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:31,645
I'm thinking of something tasteful
with just a touch of whimsy.
145
00:07:31,717 --> 00:07:33,776
Oh! I adore whimsy!
146
00:07:33,853 --> 00:07:35,753
Yeah, and mostly
we want it to be fun.
147
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:37,312
Oh, yeah, lots of fun.
148
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:38,516
You'll get to meet Conrad.
149
00:07:38,591 --> 00:07:40,991
Aren't you meeting with
the Fish and Game Commissioner?
150
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:42,049
That was cancelled.
151
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:44,596
The Coast Guard caught some
Norwegians poaching salmon.
152
00:07:44,664 --> 00:07:45,824
Is that illegal now?
153
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:49,493
Poached salmon makes a terrific entree,
especially with a balsamic reduction.
154
00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:51,594
That sounds good!
155
00:07:51,671 --> 00:07:54,731
Dad, this is Shel, Ben's brother.
He is our wedding planner.
156
00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:57,367
- Pleasure to meet you, sir.
- Yeah, you too.
157
00:07:57,443 --> 00:07:59,536
Thanks for taking on this job.
158
00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:03,514
Seeing as how we're gonna be family,
it'll give us a chance to know you better.
159
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:06,279
We were just gonna take Shel
for a tour. Want to join us?
160
00:08:06,352 --> 00:08:07,376
Your dad's busy.
161
00:08:07,453 --> 00:08:09,284
Sure, sweetie, it sounds like fun.
162
00:08:09,355 --> 00:08:11,084
- Good.
- Great.
163
00:08:12,425 --> 00:08:14,655
Fun. Fun.
164
00:08:17,296 --> 00:08:20,857
- Please don't say "fabulous."
- Fabulous, simply fabulous.
165
00:08:20,933 --> 00:08:23,766
You see that dock
and the little lighthouse down there?
166
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:26,669
Conrad had that built for Maggie
on her ninth birthday.
167
00:08:26,739 --> 00:08:27,899
Yes, I did.
168
00:08:28,975 --> 00:08:30,533
Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
169
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:34,569
I'd say that our best place for
the ceremony is right here on the patio,
170
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:37,639
with some guests there and there.
171
00:08:37,717 --> 00:08:39,150
- Sounds good.
- Yeah.
172
00:08:39,218 --> 00:08:40,651
No.
173
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,086
No? No?
174
00:08:43,155 --> 00:08:46,591
I'd say it'd be best to hold the ceremony
right down here by the water.
175
00:08:46,659 --> 00:08:48,593
We'll build a nice gazebo right there.
176
00:08:48,661 --> 00:08:50,822
The guests could sort of
radiate up the lawn,
177
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:53,661
improve sightlines, and we
won't have to mike the service.
178
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:56,930
Shel, maybe the governor
doesn't want anyone radiating.
179
00:08:57,003 --> 00:09:00,166
I'd say he's right.
No, it'll be better his way.
180
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:01,570
Great! Now for music.
181
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:05,441
I say we start out with a string quartet--
something simple, elegant.
182
00:09:05,511 --> 00:09:07,502
Eggshell cotton tablecloths
183
00:09:07,580 --> 00:09:11,539
with centerpieces featuring
either pink tea roses or Oriental lilies.
184
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:14,042
What do you think, honey?
185
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,315
- It's all good.
- Ben.
186
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:19,950
This is not you getting together
with your buddies for Super Bowl--
187
00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:22,187
in which case,
I would go with the lilies.
188
00:09:22,261 --> 00:09:24,593
This is your wedding day.
It matters.
189
00:09:25,698 --> 00:09:27,666
Pink tea roses sound nice.
190
00:09:28,868 --> 00:09:30,130
Fine.
191
00:09:30,202 --> 00:09:32,363
Although the lilies
have a stronger scent.
192
00:09:32,438 --> 00:09:34,599
Yes, they do have a lovely fragrance.
193
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:37,165
Which is helpful
if you're serving fish.
194
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,267
Lilies it is, then.
195
00:09:46,152 --> 00:09:47,141
James!
196
00:09:47,219 --> 00:09:49,380
Oh, it smells so good in here!
197
00:09:50,456 --> 00:09:52,219
- Hi.
- Hi.
198
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:53,986
- This is the lovely bride.
- Hello.
199
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:56,187
- My fianc�.
- Here's the groom, Ben.
200
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:57,593
Dazzle us.
201
00:09:58,731 --> 00:10:01,427
- ...these two as a centerpiece.
- But these roses are amazing!
202
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,434
She likes the roses.
Let's start with the roses.
203
00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:04,799
- Oh, no.
- Nope.
204
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:06,269
You missed this...
205
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:08,796
I love you.
206
00:10:09,408 --> 00:10:10,602
- Ben?
- Yeah?
207
00:10:10,676 --> 00:10:12,667
- What do you think?
- Excellent.
208
00:10:12,745 --> 00:10:14,406
Here. Let's see this.
Here, Ben.
209
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:29,550
Stop!
210
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:31,790
Try this.
211
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:10,226
One, two, three.
212
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:29,177
Get back on the dance floor!
213
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:35,786
- Look who's here.
- Hey! Hi!
214
00:11:35,861 --> 00:11:37,954
- Hey, gorgeous.
- Hi.
215
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:40,362
- Oh, hi!
- Hug, kiss.
216
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:44,460
I don't know, natural but,
you know, done, but not too done.
217
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:45,936
More fun. Some movement.
218
00:11:46,005 --> 00:11:47,404
- Done and fun.
- Right.
219
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:49,304
Fill this out,
pull the bangs over.
220
00:11:49,375 --> 00:11:52,173
- It's puffy, Freddie.
- I mean, not so big.
221
00:11:52,244 --> 00:11:54,439
No Farrah Fawcett.
Give us a little Jaclyn Smith.
222
00:11:54,513 --> 00:11:55,844
Okay, Jaclyn Smith.
223
00:12:35,287 --> 00:12:38,051
- Well?
- Definitely number three.
224
00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:39,216
No.
225
00:12:39,291 --> 00:12:40,656
- No?
- No?
226
00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:43,854
There's coconut in the frosting,
which a lot of people don't like.
227
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:46,420
The more popular choice will be lemon.
228
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,324
All right.
229
00:12:50,136 --> 00:12:51,398
Lemon it is.
230
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:53,665
I now pronounce this wedding
good to go.
231
00:12:53,739 --> 00:12:55,502
Just think,
232
00:12:55,574 --> 00:12:58,134
two weeks from today,
we'll be married.
233
00:12:58,210 --> 00:12:59,871
I can't wait.
234
00:13:09,488 --> 00:13:12,750
- Welling! Reelect Welling!
- Reelect Conrad Welling!
235
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:16,283
No, the governor won't be attending
your anti-immigration rally.
236
00:13:16,362 --> 00:13:18,592
If people from Vermont
want to move to Maine,
237
00:13:18,664 --> 00:13:20,359
putting up a fence won't stop 'em.
238
00:13:20,432 --> 00:13:23,265
Yeah, I know they're annoying,
but we need the syrup.
239
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:24,927
Ben, you've got to see this.
240
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:28,531
...declaring any ban on gay
marriage to be unconstitutional.
241
00:13:28,607 --> 00:13:31,701
The decision is already under attack
from Senator Ray Brighton,
242
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,575
Governor Welling's opponent
in the upcoming November election.
243
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,410
And if this decision stands,
244
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:40,111
gays will be allowed to marry
in Maine beginning next year.
245
00:13:40,186 --> 00:13:42,848
Now, we cannot
allow this to happen.
246
00:13:42,922 --> 00:13:44,685
As your new governor,
247
00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:48,124
my first act will be to seek
a constitutional amendment
248
00:13:48,194 --> 00:13:52,096
restricting marriage
to one man and one woman,
249
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:53,461
the way God intended it.
250
00:13:53,532 --> 00:13:55,762
So Brighton
is speaking for God now.
251
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,735
That's quite an endorsement.
252
00:13:57,803 --> 00:13:59,862
This is gonna make
gay marriage a major issue.
253
00:13:59,939 --> 00:14:02,066
The press is gonna be
all over you for a response.
254
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:04,871
I've got a fund-raiser
in Bar Harbor tomorrow.
255
00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:07,412
Let's set up a press conference
while I'm there.
256
00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:09,242
- Will do.
- Is Ben there with you?
257
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:11,442
I want him to draft my response.
258
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:13,075
- He's right here.
- Yes, sir.
259
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:15,643
Ben, I need this speech
first thing in the morning,
260
00:14:15,721 --> 00:14:17,712
so drop everything and get to it.
261
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:18,779
Okay.
262
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:17,078
Ready? Easy. Here we go.
263
00:15:17,149 --> 00:15:19,140
- Yep.
- We're good.
264
00:15:19,785 --> 00:15:21,275
- Hello?
- Ben.
265
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:23,014
Yeah, I just read your pages.
266
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:24,521
Yes, sir.
267
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:26,854
They're exactly what
I was looking for. Good job.
268
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:28,985
- Thank you, sir, thank you.
- Thank you.
269
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:31,086
- You're welcome.
- Hold down the fort.
270
00:15:31,163 --> 00:15:32,926
- Yes, I will.
- Bravo, Ben.
271
00:15:32,998 --> 00:15:34,659
Thanks. Bye.
272
00:15:52,518 --> 00:15:55,954
It's starting to look beautiful.
You're doing a really great job.
273
00:15:56,021 --> 00:15:57,181
Thanks.
274
00:15:57,256 --> 00:15:59,622
That means a lot to me,
coming from you.
275
00:15:59,692 --> 00:16:03,025
I know Maggie talked you into this,
so I appreciate you saying that.
276
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:06,757
Where is she? We're supposed
to taste-test champagne.
277
00:16:06,832 --> 00:16:09,824
She's stuck in the office.
She sent me as a replacement.
278
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:12,564
- Sorry.
- Don't be.
279
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:16,005
It'll be like when we used to sneak
into Mom and Dad's liquor cabinet.
280
00:16:16,075 --> 00:16:18,441
- Only without puking this time.
- Creme de menthe!
281
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:20,410
- What were we thinking?
- I don't know.
282
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:22,913
- Follow me.
- What, you wanna race?
283
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:24,313
Come on, old man!
284
00:16:25,417 --> 00:16:26,406
Come on!
285
00:16:26,485 --> 00:16:28,646
Stay away
from the schnapps, Shel!
286
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:36,587
It's a close call,
but I'm leaning toward the Cristal.
287
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:39,631
No, no. Try a little more
Veuve Clicquot. It grows on you.
288
00:16:39,698 --> 00:16:40,995
There you go.
289
00:16:41,066 --> 00:16:43,000
Oh. Hey, your song.
290
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:45,227
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
291
00:16:45,304 --> 00:16:47,499
Come on, come on, come on,
listen, listen.
292
00:16:47,573 --> 00:16:54,604
Ben, you're always running
here and there
293
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,619
You feel you're not
wanted anywhere
294
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:02,017
Nice vibrato.
295
00:17:02,087 --> 00:17:06,421
If you ever look behind
296
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:10,053
And don't like what you find
297
00:17:10,129 --> 00:17:13,326
Here's something
you should know
298
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:17,199
You've got a place to go
299
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:20,395
You've got a place to go
300
00:17:22,574 --> 00:17:24,599
Hey, we should sing that
at the wedding!
301
00:17:24,676 --> 00:17:27,236
Hey, maybe we shouldn't.
Maybe we should sober up.
302
00:17:28,313 --> 00:17:30,247
I'm in no hurry, bro.
303
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:31,680
Me either, bro.
304
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:33,445
Thanks for that update, Katie.
305
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:35,749
- Now onto the campaign trail.
- Hey, look.
306
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:38,187
In a move that will
surely shock campaign pundits,
307
00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:40,157
Governor Welling has weighed in
308
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:44,423
on the State Supreme Court's
decision legalizing gay marriage.
309
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:47,590
- Why don't we get some lunch.
- Wait, I want to see this.
310
00:17:47,666 --> 00:17:49,361
Our gay citizens
311
00:17:49,435 --> 00:17:52,165
are entitled to the same
rights and privileges
312
00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:54,797
as everyone else in our great state.
313
00:17:54,873 --> 00:17:56,340
I love this guy.
314
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:59,775
However, that doesn't mean
we need turn our backs
315
00:17:59,845 --> 00:18:02,040
on thousands of years
of tradition...
316
00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:07,711
which is why I support
a constitutional amendment
317
00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:10,914
to prohibit same-sex marriage.
318
00:18:13,292 --> 00:18:15,351
He's against gay marriage?
319
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:18,226
More like he's in favor
of traditional marriage.
320
00:18:18,297 --> 00:18:19,992
Let's go get some lunch.
321
00:18:20,065 --> 00:18:21,726
I can't believe it.
322
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,392
He seemed like such a good guy.
323
00:18:23,469 --> 00:18:24,902
He is a good guy.
324
00:18:24,970 --> 00:18:27,336
He's always been
a big supporter of gay rights.
325
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:29,499
Yeah. Just not this one.
326
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:32,476
At least not in an election year.
327
00:18:32,544 --> 00:18:34,569
He's an old-fashioned guy,
you know?
328
00:18:34,646 --> 00:18:37,706
And he's not alone.
Over 60% of voters are against it.
329
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:39,614
Well, that doesn't make it right.
330
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:42,418
Right?
331
00:18:42,988 --> 00:18:44,387
Oh, no.
332
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:45,980
You agree with him.
333
00:18:46,058 --> 00:18:48,390
You probably even wrote
his speech.
334
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:51,793
Oh, my God.
335
00:18:52,831 --> 00:18:53,991
You did.
336
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,064
I can't believe it.
My own brother.
337
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,729
I should've known.
338
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:02,569
- Come on, Shel.
- I can't believe it.
339
00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:05,701
It's okay for me to plan your wedding,
but not to have my own.
340
00:19:05,777 --> 00:19:08,371
- It's not that simple.
- Seems pretty simple to me.
341
00:19:08,447 --> 00:19:10,711
You think it's fine for me
to be treated differently.
342
00:19:10,782 --> 00:19:11,874
That's not true.
343
00:19:11,950 --> 00:19:14,942
You can still have a wedding.
You just have to marry a woman.
344
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:16,385
- Funny.
- I'm kidding.
345
00:19:16,455 --> 00:19:18,889
We'll see how funny when
you're planning your own wedding.
346
00:19:18,957 --> 00:19:20,219
You can't walk out.
347
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:23,386
- We have less than two weeks.
- Good luck. I quit.
348
00:19:23,462 --> 00:19:26,124
You can't quit.
You have our deposit.
349
00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:28,223
Right. Fine, okay.
350
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:29,995
All right, I'm not quitting.
351
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:32,300
Thank you.
352
00:19:32,804 --> 00:19:34,465
I'm going on strike.
353
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:37,831
Strike?
354
00:19:41,813 --> 00:19:44,407
- You can't be serious.
- I'm dead serious.
355
00:19:44,483 --> 00:19:46,951
Dad went on strike
for what he believed in.
356
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,817
Dad struck for higher wages
and better working conditions,
357
00:19:49,888 --> 00:19:52,880
not so he could marry
some guy at the VFW!
358
00:19:55,627 --> 00:19:57,117
You're picketing?
359
00:19:57,196 --> 00:20:01,257
Yep. I'm exercising my right
to free speech,
360
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:05,326
and my calves, which is perfect,
because today was leg day at the gym.
361
00:20:06,004 --> 00:20:07,869
Shel, I-- I-- I--
362
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:09,931
This whole "Norma Gay" routine
363
00:20:10,008 --> 00:20:11,942
is not gonna change
the governor's mind.
364
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:14,205
Well, maybe if I can
change someone's mind.
365
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,737
So this is to rally Maine's
gay soccer mom population?
366
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:22,116
Honk if you support gay marriage!
Honk if you're for gay marriage!
367
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:25,623
That's the finger of oppression, ma'am!
368
00:20:25,691 --> 00:20:27,386
I can't believe you're doing this to me!
369
00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:28,926
You did this to me first!
370
00:20:28,994 --> 00:20:29,983
Yeah?
371
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:32,087
Hey, Ben, terrific job.
372
00:20:32,164 --> 00:20:34,928
Our position on gay marriage
is getting a great reaction.
373
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,989
Mostly.
374
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:37,865
I even got a response
from the White House.
375
00:20:37,936 --> 00:20:39,767
The President
and First Lady are coming
376
00:20:39,838 --> 00:20:43,330
to help me with the campaign,
and then they're gonna
377
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:44,568
stay for the wedding.
378
00:20:44,643 --> 00:20:45,871
My God, that's amazing!
379
00:20:45,944 --> 00:20:48,504
What's amazing? Is that the Governor?
Let me talk to him.
380
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:51,845
Is that Shel? Put him on.
I want to give him the good news.
381
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:53,646
He's got his hands full right now.
382
00:20:53,719 --> 00:20:55,516
He's really busy.
Sorry, Governor.
383
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:57,282
I'll be sure to tell him.
Sorry. Bye.
384
00:20:57,356 --> 00:20:58,880
Hello? Ben?
385
00:20:58,957 --> 00:21:01,721
You can hang up on me,
but I will not be silenced.
386
00:21:01,793 --> 00:21:03,454
- Support gay marriage!
- Shel? Shel?
387
00:21:03,528 --> 00:21:07,624
The President of the United States
is coming to this wedding.
388
00:21:11,336 --> 00:21:12,598
The President?
389
00:21:12,671 --> 00:21:15,105
This is gonna be the most
important night of your career,
390
00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:16,606
so put down the picket sign.
391
00:21:16,675 --> 00:21:18,768
Well, this changes everything.
392
00:21:18,844 --> 00:21:21,176
I'm gonna have
to rethink this whole thing.
393
00:21:21,246 --> 00:21:22,406
The seating chart.
394
00:21:22,481 --> 00:21:24,472
The menu, of course.
I mean, the menu...
395
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:29,452
Wait a minute.
I see what you're doing.
396
00:21:29,521 --> 00:21:34,049
If I quit, the bad guys--
meaning you-- win. Good.
397
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:35,650
Very clever. Good try.
398
00:21:35,727 --> 00:21:37,592
- Support gay marriage!
- You've been drinking.
399
00:21:37,663 --> 00:21:39,392
You've been drinking too!
400
00:21:39,464 --> 00:21:43,594
Who do you trust that's sober?
What about your... your...
401
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:44,829
Ted?
402
00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:46,630
The prosecution has no objection
403
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:49,503
to the defense's request
for a continuance, Your Honor.
404
00:21:49,574 --> 00:21:52,941
Very well. Trial will resume
on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.
405
00:21:58,517 --> 00:22:02,078
Hey! I was just gonna call you.
Want to grab some dinner?
406
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:03,644
Why not?
407
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,487
What?
408
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:13,629
Shel, have you lost your mind?
409
00:22:13,699 --> 00:22:16,065
Honk if you support
gay marriage!
410
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,940
I'm glad you showed up.
He won't listen to reason.
411
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:27,001
He'll listen to reason. I think
he just doesn't want to listen to you.
412
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:29,047
You go. Take off.
Everything will be fine.
413
00:22:29,114 --> 00:22:30,376
Thanks.
414
00:22:30,449 --> 00:22:32,940
So now you're in league
with Darth Brother?
415
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:35,179
Only partly.
416
00:22:35,253 --> 00:22:37,778
I understand how you're feeling,
but what are you doing?
417
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:40,324
You're not political.
You don't even watch the news.
418
00:22:40,392 --> 00:22:41,552
Anderson Cooper doesn't count.
419
00:22:41,626 --> 00:22:44,390
You don't have to watch the news
to know the governor is wrong.
420
00:22:44,463 --> 00:22:48,524
So join one of the gay political groups
that I'm sure will be protesting.
421
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,898
You're just gonna look foolish
out here by yourself.
422
00:22:50,969 --> 00:22:53,631
Why don't you join me?
Then I'll only look half-foolish.
423
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:59,074
Because I happen to be
a state prosecutor who likes his job.
424
00:22:59,144 --> 00:23:02,113
They frown on us
heckling the governor.
425
00:23:02,180 --> 00:23:05,638
Shel, I love you,
but I can't do this.
426
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:06,911
All right.
427
00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:09,579
Well, I guess we both have to do
what we think is right.
428
00:23:12,824 --> 00:23:14,416
It's gonna be getting dark.
429
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:17,291
Why don't we talk about this
more at home?
430
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:20,721
I think I'm gonna stay here tonight.
431
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:21,788
All night?
432
00:23:22,434 --> 00:23:24,425
But you hate camping!
433
00:23:24,503 --> 00:23:26,232
It'll be cold, and there'll be bugs,
434
00:23:26,304 --> 00:23:28,738
and Heath Ledger won't be
coming by to cuddle with you.
435
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:30,741
I'll be fine.
436
00:23:30,809 --> 00:23:33,835
All right. You know, Shel,
I wasn't gonna say this before,
437
00:23:33,912 --> 00:23:35,903
but this is really tacky.
438
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:40,818
I think you'd better go now.
439
00:24:12,684 --> 00:24:16,415
Support my constitutional right
to get married!
440
00:24:16,488 --> 00:24:19,924
Support my right to get married.
441
00:24:19,991 --> 00:24:23,324
Support my constitutional right
to get married!
442
00:24:29,334 --> 00:24:31,325
Support my right to gay marriage!
443
00:24:33,772 --> 00:24:35,763
Gay marriage, anyone?
444
00:24:38,510 --> 00:24:41,240
At least Rosa Parks
got to sit down.
445
00:24:44,349 --> 00:24:45,338
Hey.
446
00:24:46,718 --> 00:24:49,448
- You here to support gay marriage?
- Hell, no.
447
00:24:49,521 --> 00:24:53,582
I'm here 'cause some guy named Ted
ordered you a pizza and a six-pack.
448
00:24:53,658 --> 00:24:55,421
Oh, thank you.
I got it. Thanks.
449
00:25:07,138 --> 00:25:09,572
I love that you keep yourself
in shape for me,
450
00:25:09,641 --> 00:25:12,109
but don't you think
you're overdoing it a little bit?
451
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:13,269
It's not for you.
452
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:14,835
It's for the President.
453
00:25:14,913 --> 00:25:17,108
If I can't be the most important man
at my wedding,
454
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:19,013
I can at least
have the best pecs.
455
00:25:19,084 --> 00:25:20,813
...or use other means
of transportation.
456
00:25:20,886 --> 00:25:22,820
Governor Welling announced
at a press conference today
457
00:25:22,888 --> 00:25:25,857
that he is in favor of
an amendment to ban gay marriage.
458
00:25:25,924 --> 00:25:27,050
What?
459
00:25:27,125 --> 00:25:29,616
This puts both he and his opponent,
Senator Brighton,
460
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:31,889
on the same side of the issue,
effectively making it
461
00:25:31,963 --> 00:25:33,430
a dead issue in the campaign.
462
00:25:33,498 --> 00:25:35,966
Okay, let me say one thing
before you get mad.
463
00:25:36,034 --> 00:25:38,525
Too late. How could my father
do something like this?
464
00:25:38,603 --> 00:25:40,935
Because even though
he supports gay rights,
465
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:43,634
he believes marriage should be
between a man and a woman.
466
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:46,506
What did he say when
you tried to talk him out of it?
467
00:25:46,578 --> 00:25:48,978
"Thanks, Ben, I'm glad we agree"?
468
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:51,481
You agree?
How could you possibly agree?
469
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,575
- Your own brother is gay!
- Don't remind me.
470
00:25:53,652 --> 00:25:55,051
What is that supposed to mean?
471
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,520
Ben, are you embarrassed
that Shel is gay?
472
00:25:57,589 --> 00:25:59,489
No.
473
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:01,219
Okay, maybe a little.
474
00:26:02,127 --> 00:26:04,561
Hey, but on some level,
Shel is too.
475
00:26:04,629 --> 00:26:07,223
That's insane. He is totally out.
476
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:09,062
He wears a Prada shoulder bag!
477
00:26:09,134 --> 00:26:10,897
Not in front of our parents,
he doesn't.
478
00:26:10,969 --> 00:26:14,769
That is not a cat he wants
out of the bag, Prada or not.
479
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:16,670
What did he say
when he heard about this?
480
00:26:16,741 --> 00:26:18,606
Okay, I'm not gonna lie to you.
481
00:26:19,611 --> 00:26:20,669
He was a little miffed.
482
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:22,906
- I'm calling him!
- No, please don't do that.
483
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:25,916
Look, he's probably
forgotten all about it by now.
484
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:28,475
Besides, he and Ted
are already in bed.
485
00:26:28,553 --> 00:26:32,990
If you call, you might
interrupt... things.
486
00:26:33,058 --> 00:26:35,526
Things? It's called sex, Ben.
487
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,152
You can't even say it. Sex.
488
00:26:37,228 --> 00:26:38,593
I can say it, okay?
489
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:41,791
I'm just more comfortable
when it involves a man and a woman.
490
00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:47,265
Especially when that woman is looking
very sexy in her pink nightgown.
491
00:26:49,741 --> 00:26:53,871
You and your brother have a lot more
in common than you think.
492
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:55,139
Oh, yeah? What's that?
493
00:26:55,213 --> 00:26:58,444
Neither one of you is gonna be
having sex with a woman tonight.
494
00:27:38,089 --> 00:27:39,954
Crazy man.
495
00:28:22,734 --> 00:28:24,429
Support gay marriage.
496
00:28:25,336 --> 00:28:26,769
Morning, Ben.
497
00:28:26,838 --> 00:28:31,241
Question: why is your brother
picketing outside my house?
498
00:28:34,979 --> 00:28:38,142
One, two, three, four.
Don't you close that closet door!
499
00:28:38,216 --> 00:28:40,741
Five, six, seven, eight.
Open up the marriage gate.
500
00:28:40,819 --> 00:28:42,343
- Shel?
- Yes.
501
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:43,887
Ben told me you were upset,
502
00:28:43,955 --> 00:28:46,219
but this isn't the way
to change my mind.
503
00:28:46,291 --> 00:28:47,986
What is the way
to change your mind?
504
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,890
Well, to be honest,
there is none.
505
00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:53,397
One, two, three, four.
I don't work here anymore!
506
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:54,659
Five, six, seven, eight...
507
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:55,825
- Shel?
- Yes, Claire?
508
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,232
Don't you think
that you could protest Conrad
509
00:28:58,303 --> 00:29:00,271
but at the same time
help Maggie and Ben?
510
00:29:00,338 --> 00:29:04,968
It's just a picket sign.
It's not as if he's hanging you in effigy.
511
00:29:05,043 --> 00:29:07,807
That's a good idea.
Can I borrow his red and blue sweater?
512
00:29:07,879 --> 00:29:10,347
Oh, you don't want to use that.
It's hideous.
513
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:12,007
It's so red-state, blue-state.
514
00:29:12,083 --> 00:29:14,051
Madeleine Albright
gave me that sweater.
515
00:29:20,959 --> 00:29:23,052
Governor, I'm really sorry about this.
516
00:29:23,128 --> 00:29:25,392
Well, it's really not your fault, Ben...
517
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,328
but what do you plan to do about it?
518
00:29:27,398 --> 00:29:30,299
I got it covered. After you called me,
I came up with a plan.
519
00:29:30,368 --> 00:29:32,996
- I'll do anything short of a Taser.
- Oh, don't worry.
520
00:29:33,071 --> 00:29:35,972
My plan is equally effective,
and twice as deadly.
521
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:39,500
Support my right
for gay marriage!
522
00:29:40,578 --> 00:29:42,068
Support my right...
523
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:47,846
Hi! Hi!
524
00:29:55,193 --> 00:29:58,560
Shel, look who came out early.
Mom and Dad.
525
00:29:59,297 --> 00:30:00,764
- Oh, look at you.
- Hi, Mom.
526
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:02,925
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, Mom.
527
00:30:03,001 --> 00:30:05,196
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, Shel, how are you?
528
00:30:05,270 --> 00:30:08,239
- Hey, Dad.
- Oh, give me a hug.
529
00:30:12,677 --> 00:30:13,666
Whoa.
530
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:22,842
Oh, Vern, have you ever seen
such a beautiful house?
531
00:30:22,921 --> 00:30:24,320
Doesn't have wheels.
532
00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:27,722
Ben says you've been doing
a knockout job on this wedding.
533
00:30:27,792 --> 00:30:30,454
That's why I thought it'd be fun
to have you come out early,
534
00:30:30,528 --> 00:30:32,189
so you could see Shel hard at work.
535
00:30:33,698 --> 00:30:37,190
Yeah. All right, well,
why don't I show you around?
536
00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:39,463
- Follow me.
- Say, Shel?
537
00:30:39,537 --> 00:30:41,835
What were you doing out here,
anyway?
538
00:30:41,906 --> 00:30:44,466
- Taking a walk.
- In front of the governor's house?
539
00:30:44,542 --> 00:30:48,273
- Back and forth, back and forth?
- Yes, it helps me relax.
540
00:30:48,346 --> 00:30:50,746
What do you guys want
to see Shel work on first?
541
00:30:50,815 --> 00:30:53,283
How about the seating chart?
That's not done, is it?
542
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:56,479
You know what? I will not be
blackmailed any further.
543
00:30:56,554 --> 00:30:58,613
Honey, you can say
anything you want.
544
00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:00,954
We don't care about
the seating chart.
545
00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:04,188
No, this is something
I should've done a long time ago.
546
00:31:04,262 --> 00:31:06,457
- Mom, Dad...
- Oh, no.
547
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:07,793
I'm gay.
548
00:31:08,833 --> 00:31:11,324
Ben and Maggie have been
living in sin for over a year.
549
00:31:14,973 --> 00:31:17,567
Is it because I made you
watch ice skating with me?
550
00:31:17,642 --> 00:31:19,303
No, Mother.
551
00:31:19,377 --> 00:31:20,844
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
552
00:31:20,912 --> 00:31:22,402
I'm just gay,
553
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,143
same way some people
are just smart or just tall or...
554
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:28,651
- Or just Lutheran?
- Yes, exactly.
555
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,587
Actually, I was born gay,
where people choose to be Lutheran.
556
00:31:31,689 --> 00:31:33,714
You were born Lutheran, Shel.
557
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,850
It says so right on
your birth certificate.
558
00:31:35,927 --> 00:31:37,360
No, Dad, that's because...
559
00:31:37,428 --> 00:31:40,090
And it doesn't say "gay,"
I can promise you that.
560
00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:43,622
Okay, the point is,
this is who I am,
561
00:31:43,701 --> 00:31:46,295
and I just hope you both
can accept it.
562
00:31:48,673 --> 00:31:50,334
He really did it.
563
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:54,703
I'm afraid he's not
giving up anytime soon.
564
00:31:54,779 --> 00:31:56,144
So now what?
565
00:31:56,214 --> 00:31:58,409
First thing is to
keep it out of the press.
566
00:31:58,483 --> 00:32:01,509
He's one guy with a picket sign.
Since when is that news?
567
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:05,147
Since the guy is the brother of the man
marrying the governor's daughter,
568
00:32:05,223 --> 00:32:08,090
whose wedding the President
and First Lady will be attending.
569
00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:11,094
Okay. I'll switch all press away from...
570
00:32:11,162 --> 00:32:13,130
- Tisdale.
- Tisdale?
571
00:32:13,197 --> 00:32:17,099
Channel 9 News. I sent him to do a piece
on the wedding with Maggie today.
572
00:32:17,168 --> 00:32:18,362
Oh, God. Maggie.
573
00:32:18,436 --> 00:32:21,963
Well, call him. Call her.
Call it off!
574
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,235
It's too late.
They're on their way here now.
575
00:32:24,309 --> 00:32:26,140
Damn, we got to get rid
of my brother.
576
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:28,874
How?
577
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,312
The governor wants to meet?
578
00:32:30,381 --> 00:32:33,817
I can't promise he'll change his mind.
You've got one chance to wow him.
579
00:32:33,885 --> 00:32:35,819
It doesn't mean
I'm calling off the strike.
580
00:32:35,887 --> 00:32:37,115
We wouldn't expect that.
581
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:38,951
We've got to hurry.
He's waiting for you.
582
00:32:39,023 --> 00:32:40,354
Not that way.
583
00:32:43,761 --> 00:32:45,126
We're meeting on a boat?
584
00:32:45,196 --> 00:32:47,721
Not so much a boat
as it is a nautical conference room.
585
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:50,495
This is Ed Myerson,
the governor's press secretary.
586
00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:52,126
The governor was called away.
587
00:32:52,203 --> 00:32:54,068
He asked me to
write down your thoughts
588
00:32:54,138 --> 00:32:56,072
in anticipation of a later meeting.
589
00:32:56,140 --> 00:33:00,008
Ed will take down everything,
so cover all your points in detail.
590
00:33:00,078 --> 00:33:01,136
Ready when you are.
591
00:33:01,212 --> 00:33:05,740
Uh... okay, uh... well, I guess, um,
basically the question is,
592
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:08,285
Why can my brother get married
and I can't?
593
00:33:08,353 --> 00:33:09,752
- Of course.
- Right?
594
00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:13,052
I mean, that's how this whole thing
kind of started, you know.
595
00:33:13,124 --> 00:33:15,854
That was the initial conception...
596
00:33:18,262 --> 00:33:19,661
What are you doing here?
597
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:22,165
Master's in journalism
from Northwestern.
598
00:33:22,233 --> 00:33:25,498
They send me out to cover
this cotton candy crap.
599
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:27,538
I thought it would be fun
if we did the interview together.
600
00:33:29,507 --> 00:33:32,305
Well, hello!
There's the happy couple.
601
00:33:32,377 --> 00:33:34,641
Casper, this is Maggie,
my beautiful bride-to-be.
602
00:33:34,712 --> 00:33:36,373
Maggie, it's a pleasure
to meet you.
603
00:33:36,447 --> 00:33:38,642
You too. Where's Ed?
604
00:33:40,151 --> 00:33:42,210
See, if you don't treat people equally,
605
00:33:42,286 --> 00:33:46,347
this essentially stops
becoming America, right?
606
00:33:46,424 --> 00:33:48,016
- Right?
- Right.
607
00:33:48,092 --> 00:33:49,957
I'm here at Governor Welling's estate,
608
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:53,987
where this Saturday a very
special wedding will take place.
609
00:33:54,065 --> 00:33:56,693
Even the bridal bouquet
will be red, white, and blue.
610
00:33:56,768 --> 00:33:58,861
I mean, sure, anyone can
live together, but...
611
00:33:58,936 --> 00:34:01,166
...saying "I do" in front
of my family and friends
612
00:34:01,239 --> 00:34:03,230
is gonna be
the happiest day of my life.
613
00:34:03,307 --> 00:34:05,400
So, are you brave enough to tell us
614
00:34:05,476 --> 00:34:07,410
what a wedding
whose guest list includes
615
00:34:07,478 --> 00:34:10,379
the President
of the United States costs?
616
00:34:10,448 --> 00:34:13,474
Well, we could, but money's
not important. What matters is...
617
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:15,985
...having your relationship
accepted by society.
618
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:17,248
That's true.
619
00:34:17,321 --> 00:34:18,913
I just want
what everyone else has.
620
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,287
Yeah.
621
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:22,689
Everybody-- No!
622
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,422
What's going on here?
You're doodling?
623
00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:27,760
- What is this? What are you doing?
- It's an octopus.
624
00:34:29,767 --> 00:34:31,928
There's no doubt
in this reporter's mind
625
00:34:32,003 --> 00:34:35,769
that the state of this union
will be happily ever after.
626
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,172
This is Caspar Tisdale
for Channel 9.
627
00:34:40,011 --> 00:34:41,945
I think that went well, don't you?
628
00:34:42,013 --> 00:34:44,106
You jerk! You liar!
629
00:34:44,182 --> 00:34:45,979
Shel, oh, my God, you're soaked.
630
00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:48,314
- Who's that?
- Don't worry about him.
631
00:34:48,386 --> 00:34:51,514
Stop! Don't put that camera away.
They're trying to silence me.
632
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:53,079
Support gay marriage!
633
00:34:53,157 --> 00:34:56,024
How fast can we set up again?
634
00:34:57,695 --> 00:35:01,062
It's the Channel 9 News with anchors
Matt Wildman and Katie Gonzales,
635
00:35:01,132 --> 00:35:04,568
Arlo Donovan with the weather,
and Brook Palmer on sports.
636
00:35:06,971 --> 00:35:09,565
- I'm toast.
- I'm not speaking to you.
637
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,837
Thank you for doing this. You're really
gonna help me get my message out.
638
00:35:12,910 --> 00:35:15,879
Hey, call me Caspar.
Sounds better on the air.
639
00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:17,505
Welcome to Channel 9 News.
640
00:35:17,582 --> 00:35:18,879
Poor Shel.
641
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:21,111
I didn't lie to you.
I told you he was miffed.
642
00:35:21,185 --> 00:35:22,413
Miffed?
643
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:24,819
"Miffed" and "on strike"
are not the same thing.
644
00:35:24,889 --> 00:35:27,858
When factory workers get screwed,
the union does not go out on "miff."
645
00:35:27,925 --> 00:35:30,792
Ben, don't you think your parents
would like to come inside?
646
00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:33,194
Oh, I think they'd rather
be alone in the RV for a while.
647
00:35:33,264 --> 00:35:34,561
It's been a pretty rough day.
648
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:38,033
Okay, this says it has something
to do with Shel's genes.
649
00:35:38,102 --> 00:35:40,263
Not his blue jeans,
650
00:35:40,338 --> 00:35:42,966
which I always thought
he wore too tight anyway, but...
651
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:45,400
Oh, dear.
652
00:35:46,277 --> 00:35:51,112
FYI: poor Shel told them
we've been living together.
653
00:35:51,182 --> 00:35:52,615
Now they think you're a slut.
654
00:35:52,683 --> 00:35:54,241
...more liberal constituents.
655
00:35:54,318 --> 00:35:57,446
Both Governor Welling and his
opponent, Senator Ray Brighton,
656
00:35:57,522 --> 00:36:00,787
have announced their support
of a constitutional amendment
657
00:36:00,858 --> 00:36:03,292
defining marriage as between
a man and a woman.
658
00:36:03,361 --> 00:36:05,659
But for at least one member
of the governor's circle,
659
00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:07,925
this announcement
was a call to action.
660
00:36:07,999 --> 00:36:11,162
Caspar Tisdale joins us now
with more on the story.
661
00:36:11,235 --> 00:36:12,224
Caspar.
662
00:36:12,303 --> 00:36:15,864
This is Caspar Tisdale reporting live
from Governor Welling's estate,
663
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:18,238
where an unusual protest
is underway.
664
00:36:18,309 --> 00:36:20,334
Shel Grandy was handling
the arrangements
665
00:36:20,411 --> 00:36:22,902
for his brother's wedding
to the governor's daughter--
666
00:36:22,980 --> 00:36:26,279
that is, until the governor
came out against gay marriage,
667
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:28,750
and that's when Mr. Grandy,
who happens to be gay,
668
00:36:28,819 --> 00:36:30,946
decided to go on strike.
669
00:36:33,491 --> 00:36:34,856
Do I talk now?
670
00:36:34,926 --> 00:36:38,259
Well, you wouldn't be
a very good spokesman if you didn't.
671
00:36:38,329 --> 00:36:41,765
Well, I'm here to say that
the governor is being unfair.
672
00:36:43,334 --> 00:36:45,962
Your protest doesn't seem
to have picked up much steam.
673
00:36:46,037 --> 00:36:47,902
Has anyone joined you
out here on the line?
674
00:36:47,972 --> 00:36:51,100
No, I'm pretty much...
I'm just doing this on my own.
675
00:36:51,175 --> 00:36:53,609
Do you think that
will change the governor's mind?
676
00:36:53,678 --> 00:36:55,703
No, no, I don't think
that's gonna happen.
677
00:36:55,780 --> 00:36:58,214
He already told me that
he's not gonna change his mind.
678
00:36:58,282 --> 00:37:01,183
So at this point, you're really
just striking out of spite.
679
00:37:01,252 --> 00:37:02,344
No, I'm--
680
00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:03,853
I'm striking--
681
00:37:03,921 --> 00:37:07,721
I'm striking for my--
my beliefs.
682
00:37:07,792 --> 00:37:10,818
I believe wholeheartedly
in my beliefs.
683
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:13,557
I guess you got all the political savvy
in your family, huh?
684
00:37:13,631 --> 00:37:15,326
He's never done this before.
685
00:37:15,399 --> 00:37:17,264
What would you say
to all the people
686
00:37:17,335 --> 00:37:20,896
who are thinking you're just
another crackpot with an axe to grind?
687
00:37:20,972 --> 00:37:23,805
Shut up!
No one's thinking that.
688
00:37:23,874 --> 00:37:25,398
We're not just a fringe group.
689
00:37:25,476 --> 00:37:28,001
There are a lot of us out here,
Mr. Tisdale.
690
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:29,376
Interesting thought.
691
00:37:29,447 --> 00:37:32,712
If all the world's florists,
hairstylists, and choreographers
692
00:37:32,783 --> 00:37:36,048
were to go on strike,
could we survive?
693
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,645
For Channel 9 Action News,
this is Caspar Tisdale
694
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:41,385
reporting live from
Governor Welling's estate.
695
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:43,086
Great TV, kid.
696
00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:48,221
You bitch.
697
00:37:48,299 --> 00:37:50,893
He made Shel look like
a complete fool.
698
00:37:50,968 --> 00:37:53,129
- He did, didn't he?
- Yep.
699
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:58,535
Well, I'd sure hate to lose
my hairstylist.
700
00:37:58,609 --> 00:38:02,045
Let's hope he doesn't strike
while the curling iron is hot.
701
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:05,207
And on that note, let's go
"straight" to the weather
702
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:06,614
with Arlo Donovan.
703
00:38:08,286 --> 00:38:09,685
Where's Arlo?
704
00:38:09,754 --> 00:38:11,221
He just left.
705
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:14,417
It appears Arlo has
stepped away from the map.
706
00:38:15,926 --> 00:38:18,053
Turning now to our next story...
707
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:20,927
"I'm on strike too, ass wipes."
708
00:38:27,872 --> 00:38:29,032
Katie?
709
00:38:30,341 --> 00:38:32,468
Back to you, Matt.
710
00:39:01,105 --> 00:39:04,006
Honey!
Were you watching upstairs?
711
00:39:04,375 --> 00:39:07,708
That fruit loop I delivered
pizza to was on the news.
712
00:39:07,778 --> 00:39:09,678
Jerome, we need to talk.
713
00:39:18,789 --> 00:39:22,555
You're being too hard on yourself.
He didn't even give you a chance to talk.
714
00:39:22,626 --> 00:39:24,321
Mom says don't feel too bad.
715
00:39:24,395 --> 00:39:27,660
She'd come out and tell you herself,
but she's too busy telling Dad.
716
00:39:28,632 --> 00:39:31,157
Why did they decide
to come out so early?
717
00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:35,798
Oh, my God. You're kidding.
You called them?
718
00:39:38,509 --> 00:39:39,806
Are you okay?
719
00:39:39,877 --> 00:39:40,901
Yeah.
720
00:39:41,979 --> 00:39:44,573
I thought if I'd go on TV,
I'd get some people on my side,
721
00:39:44,648 --> 00:39:48,482
but I just ended up looking like
a jackass, just like you predicted.
722
00:39:48,552 --> 00:39:50,213
It wasn't that bad.
723
00:39:50,287 --> 00:39:51,686
It'd be easier to believe
724
00:39:51,756 --> 00:39:54,316
if you hadn't felt the need
to race over here and tell me.
725
00:39:54,392 --> 00:39:56,986
Well, the important thing is
it's all behind us now.
726
00:39:57,061 --> 00:39:59,154
Come on.
Let's go home.
727
00:40:04,168 --> 00:40:06,193
What are all these cars doing here?
728
00:40:44,074 --> 00:40:46,304
Oh, no.
729
00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:17,239
- What kind of strike is this?
- Well, I don't know.
730
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:18,775
Is anything even open?
731
00:41:18,843 --> 00:41:20,834
- What's going on?
- We're on strike. Goodbye.
732
00:41:22,012 --> 00:41:24,207
I can't believe it!
What is going on?
733
00:41:25,015 --> 00:41:26,505
This strike is something else!
734
00:41:27,651 --> 00:41:29,619
Support Shel!
735
00:41:29,687 --> 00:41:31,211
Support gay marriage!
736
00:41:31,288 --> 00:41:34,382
Send a message
to our governor.
737
00:41:34,458 --> 00:41:38,485
Support Shel!
Here, take a flyer.
738
00:41:38,562 --> 00:41:39,961
Support Shel!
739
00:41:42,233 --> 00:41:43,222
Reelect Welling. Please hold.
740
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:45,291
Ben, thank God you're here.
741
00:41:45,369 --> 00:41:47,166
The advance team
from the White House is at the airport
742
00:41:47,238 --> 00:41:49,138
and no one was there to pick them up.
743
00:41:49,206 --> 00:41:50,833
But Angela arranged for a limo.
744
00:41:50,908 --> 00:41:52,205
The limo service is on strike.
745
00:41:52,276 --> 00:41:54,210
Well, why didn't she call
somebody else?
746
00:41:54,278 --> 00:41:55,540
Angela's on strike too.
747
00:41:58,115 --> 00:42:00,549
Hello? Reelect Welling.
Please hold.
748
00:42:00,618 --> 00:42:02,552
Hello? Mom? Not now.
749
00:42:02,620 --> 00:42:06,181
Five, six, seven, eight,
open up the marriage gate!
750
00:42:06,257 --> 00:42:09,818
One, two, three, four,
don't you close that closet door!
751
00:42:09,894 --> 00:42:13,557
Five, six, seven, eight,
open up the marriage gate!
752
00:42:13,631 --> 00:42:16,759
One, two, three, four,
don't you close that closet door!
753
00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:20,531
Five, six, seven, eight,
open up the marriage gate!
754
00:42:20,604 --> 00:42:23,334
One, two, three, four,
don't you close that...
755
00:42:23,407 --> 00:42:26,501
Well, naturally,
world affairs come first.
756
00:42:27,845 --> 00:42:30,245
Well, you give
the First Lady my best.
757
00:42:31,582 --> 00:42:34,244
An emergency summit
on the Middle East has come up.
758
00:42:34,318 --> 00:42:36,650
The President won't be
attending the wedding.
759
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:38,654
Well, if it's an emergency summit--
760
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:42,681
Please. An emergency summit
is the presidential equivalent
761
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,627
of "I'd love to come,
but I have to wash my hair."
762
00:42:59,977 --> 00:43:02,571
Whoa! What do you
think you're doing?
763
00:43:06,350 --> 00:43:07,817
Honoring the strike.
764
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,322
Hi, is this World of Weddings?
765
00:43:13,390 --> 00:43:16,621
Yes, I'm calling about
a wedding coordinator.
766
00:43:17,328 --> 00:43:21,162
This Saturday
at the Governor's estate. Hello?
767
00:43:21,231 --> 00:43:24,132
No, the wedding
is actually this Saturday.
768
00:43:24,201 --> 00:43:26,135
At the, uh, Governor's estate.
769
00:43:27,171 --> 00:43:28,297
Hello?
770
00:43:28,372 --> 00:43:31,170
Hi. I'm looking
for a wedding coordinator.
771
00:43:32,142 --> 00:43:34,007
Hello, Till Death Do Us Part?
772
00:43:35,646 --> 00:43:38,410
Yeah, this Saturday
at the Governor's estate.
773
00:43:42,353 --> 00:43:44,514
This Saturday
at the Governor's estate.
774
00:43:44,588 --> 00:43:46,920
Hi, I was wondering
if you could help me out.
775
00:43:46,991 --> 00:43:49,118
I need a wedding coordinator.
776
00:43:49,193 --> 00:43:52,287
Oh, you have...
many wedding coordinators.
777
00:43:52,363 --> 00:43:53,489
That's fantastic.
778
00:43:56,066 --> 00:43:58,534
Thank you for coming
on such short notice, Mrs...
779
00:43:58,602 --> 00:44:01,127
Fairfield, darling, Fairfield.
780
00:44:01,205 --> 00:44:02,934
And you're in very good hands.
781
00:44:03,007 --> 00:44:06,636
I'm known as
"The Wedding Planner to the Stars."
782
00:44:06,710 --> 00:44:08,200
In Maine?
783
00:44:08,278 --> 00:44:11,873
Remember Tony Orlando and Dawn?
I did one of the Dawns' weddings.
784
00:44:11,949 --> 00:44:13,041
Oh, she was--
785
00:44:13,117 --> 00:44:16,018
Okay, what the hell is going on
at the gate? I can't hear myself think!
786
00:44:16,086 --> 00:44:18,884
Oh, that's, uh--
that's-- that's nothing.
787
00:44:18,956 --> 00:44:20,890
Actually, it's our
former wedding planner
788
00:44:20,958 --> 00:44:23,119
making a very valid stand
for gay rights.
789
00:44:24,461 --> 00:44:27,726
Well, my second
husband Macey was a gay.
790
00:44:27,798 --> 00:44:29,698
Yeah. Gay as the day is long.
791
00:44:30,834 --> 00:44:34,235
He ran off
with the pool boy, Javier.
792
00:44:34,304 --> 00:44:36,033
He's a very handsome man, Javier.
793
00:44:36,106 --> 00:44:39,007
Always wore a white thong.
794
00:44:39,076 --> 00:44:41,943
Didn't speak a word of English.
Didn't have to.
795
00:44:45,315 --> 00:44:46,748
Azaleas!
796
00:44:46,817 --> 00:44:47,909
Excuse me?
797
00:44:47,985 --> 00:44:52,979
Nothing says "we'll be
together forever" like azaleas!
798
00:44:54,058 --> 00:44:57,152
You know, actually,
we like everything Shel picked out.
799
00:44:57,227 --> 00:45:00,685
- We just need you to coordinate.
- Gold lam� as far as the eye can see!
800
00:45:00,764 --> 00:45:04,723
Giant topiary cupids,
dancing waterfall...!
801
00:45:04,802 --> 00:45:07,202
...three, four, don't you close
that closet door.
802
00:45:07,271 --> 00:45:09,796
Five, six, seven, eight,
open up the...
803
00:45:09,873 --> 00:45:11,807
Let her through.
Let her through.
804
00:45:15,646 --> 00:45:18,171
Shel, I don't want to do
this wedding without you.
805
00:45:18,248 --> 00:45:20,682
I want to postpone,
but they're trying to guilt me into it.
806
00:45:20,751 --> 00:45:23,185
My father says it's gonna
hurt his campaign.
807
00:45:23,253 --> 00:45:24,720
That's okay, Maggie.
I understand.
808
00:45:24,788 --> 00:45:27,450
- I love you.
- I love you too.
809
00:45:33,263 --> 00:45:35,959
You're gonna miss
a great wedding, Shel.
810
00:45:36,033 --> 00:45:38,797
Mrs. Fairfield
has lots of good ideas--
811
00:45:38,869 --> 00:45:41,963
ice sculptures, a champagne
fountain, cherub caterers.
812
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:43,563
Cherub caterers?
813
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,473
Yep. She's promised us
lots of pizzazz.
814
00:45:48,512 --> 00:45:49,945
Pizzazz.
815
00:45:50,013 --> 00:45:53,107
The only thing worse than
pizzazz is razzle-dazzle.
816
00:46:01,191 --> 00:46:03,785
- Wayne?
- Dude!
817
00:46:05,229 --> 00:46:08,858
Oh! That's how you
greet your best man!
818
00:46:13,370 --> 00:46:15,895
I thought you were staying
at the Verdi Hotel.
819
00:46:15,973 --> 00:46:17,907
So did I, but they
screwed up my reservation.
820
00:46:17,975 --> 00:46:20,637
Something about the gay dudes
going on strike.
821
00:46:20,711 --> 00:46:24,272
So it looks like I'm gonna be
crashing here with you...
822
00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:26,340
and Magpie.
823
00:46:35,993 --> 00:46:38,655
What started out as a simple,
one-man protest
824
00:46:38,729 --> 00:46:40,424
has ended up affecting every state...
825
00:46:40,497 --> 00:46:43,227
From Augusta, Maine,
to San Diego, California,
826
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:45,564
no American city
is immune to the strike.
827
00:46:45,636 --> 00:46:49,094
In a wave of support that
caught most Americans by surprise,
828
00:46:49,173 --> 00:46:52,700
Shel Grandy's strike for the right
to marry has swept the nation...
829
00:46:52,776 --> 00:46:56,007
The gay strike is one week old,
and there seems to be no end in sight.
830
00:47:14,331 --> 00:47:16,231
You? I'm totally surprised.
831
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:19,929
The way that it's sweeping the nation
demonstrates the level of discontent.
832
00:47:20,003 --> 00:47:22,028
It's sort of like the gay equivalent to
833
00:47:22,105 --> 00:47:24,699
"I'm mad as hell,
and I'm not gonna take it anymore."
834
00:47:24,775 --> 00:47:25,799
Excellent analogy.
835
00:47:25,876 --> 00:47:27,901
Thanks. Sort of
getting the hang of this.
836
00:47:27,978 --> 00:47:30,640
So, you're out there
striking for gay marriage.
837
00:47:30,714 --> 00:47:33,046
We know you've gotten
thousands of proposals.
838
00:47:33,116 --> 00:47:36,051
Does anybody "strike" your fancy?
839
00:47:36,119 --> 00:47:39,054
I'm not gonna deny there are
a lot of great guys out there,
840
00:47:39,122 --> 00:47:41,249
but no one compares
to my boyfriend Ted.
841
00:47:41,325 --> 00:47:42,587
In that case,
842
00:47:42,659 --> 00:47:46,186
this is a slightly disappointed
and still single Ken Caldwell
843
00:47:46,263 --> 00:47:48,026
reporting live from Los Angeles.
844
00:47:48,098 --> 00:47:49,656
Thank you.
845
00:48:27,537 --> 00:48:28,697
Can I have one of those?
846
00:48:35,379 --> 00:48:36,607
Thanks.
847
00:48:44,655 --> 00:48:46,782
- What do we want?
- Marriage equality!
848
00:48:46,857 --> 00:48:48,950
- When do we want it?
- Now!
849
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,524
- What do we want?
- Marriage access!
850
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:01,036
All we want is marriage access.
851
00:49:01,104 --> 00:49:03,868
We pay our bills, we pay our taxes.
852
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,607
In yet another assault on one
of our most cherished institutions,
853
00:49:13,684 --> 00:49:15,208
gays want to get married.
854
00:49:15,285 --> 00:49:17,515
What next? Polygamy?
855
00:49:17,587 --> 00:49:21,489
Incest?
A man marrying his dog?
856
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,987
Don't even think about it.
857
00:49:32,869 --> 00:49:36,100
The Dow-Jones is already
looking good in heavy trading.
858
00:49:36,173 --> 00:49:37,868
That's not all that's looking good.
859
00:49:37,941 --> 00:49:40,501
Merchandisers are clearly
feeling optimistic
860
00:49:40,577 --> 00:49:43,205
from the terrific pre-school
Labor Day sales numbers.
861
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,646
The profits from last weekend
signal the kickoff
862
00:49:45,716 --> 00:49:48,583
of the big winter retail sales period,
which begins with Labor Day
863
00:49:48,652 --> 00:49:51,951
and culminates with the end-of-the-year
winter holidays.
864
00:49:52,022 --> 00:49:55,253
In other news, the man
gay striker Shel Grandy
865
00:49:55,325 --> 00:49:59,557
wants to marry has been revealed
as Augusta prosecutor Ted Moore.
866
00:50:02,032 --> 00:50:04,023
Hey, Ted.
Congratulations.
867
00:50:10,073 --> 00:50:14,510
That was "Endless Love,"
going out to Shel and Ted.
868
00:50:14,578 --> 00:50:16,944
And now Celine Dion with...
869
00:51:02,426 --> 00:51:07,090
All we want is marriage access.
We pay our bills, we pay our taxes.
870
00:51:07,164 --> 00:51:08,597
You guys, it's Ted!
871
00:51:08,665 --> 00:51:09,996
All right, Ted!
872
00:51:12,002 --> 00:51:13,663
Congratulations!
873
00:51:18,041 --> 00:51:21,340
Throwing a strike is no different
than throwing a good party.
874
00:51:21,411 --> 00:51:23,606
The key is make sure
everyone feels welcome
875
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,910
and keep them circulating.
That's about it.
876
00:51:27,684 --> 00:51:30,380
Uh-oh. Excuse me
one second, please.
877
00:51:30,454 --> 00:51:33,855
Hi. I know what you're gonna say,
and I'm really sorry.
878
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:36,290
Can we please talk
about this in private?
879
00:51:36,359 --> 00:51:37,485
Sure.
880
00:51:39,696 --> 00:51:43,188
Oh! Hello! I'm Wanda.
I'm Shel's mom.
881
00:51:43,266 --> 00:51:47,600
I recognize you from the newspaper.
You're Shel's special friend.
882
00:51:47,671 --> 00:51:49,662
- Nice to meet you.
- Oh, you!
883
00:52:01,151 --> 00:52:05,110
It's not funny. Are you sure
these are the ones Shel ordered?
884
00:52:05,188 --> 00:52:07,156
Well, they're the ones they sent.
885
00:52:07,224 --> 00:52:09,715
Mind you, they were
giggling when they delivered.
886
00:52:09,793 --> 00:52:11,727
I'm sorry!
887
00:52:12,796 --> 00:52:13,820
Never mind.
888
00:52:13,897 --> 00:52:18,834
Look, darling, there is still time
to get you in a nice top hat and tails.
889
00:52:21,371 --> 00:52:23,430
Maybe you should wear
your blue Armani.
890
00:52:23,507 --> 00:52:28,240
Dude, these tuxes you ordered
are awesome!
891
00:52:33,450 --> 00:52:34,883
Oh, God.
892
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,246
Oh, God.
893
00:52:40,657 --> 00:52:42,352
I like it.
894
00:52:46,763 --> 00:52:48,958
- Sorry about that.
- No need to apologize.
895
00:52:49,032 --> 00:52:50,624
I was happy to be
grilled by your mom
896
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:52,998
about an impending wedding
I know nothing about!
897
00:52:53,069 --> 00:52:54,127
She seemed to like you.
898
00:52:55,572 --> 00:52:58,803
I never said anything
about us getting married.
899
00:52:58,875 --> 00:53:01,844
I mentioned your name
once in an interview. That's it.
900
00:53:01,912 --> 00:53:02,936
- That's it?
- Yeah.
901
00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:04,878
The bailiff wants
to throw me a shower!
902
00:53:04,948 --> 00:53:06,643
It'll blow over.
You know the press.
903
00:53:06,716 --> 00:53:10,083
Tomorrow Britney will drop
another baby, and it'll be old news.
904
00:53:10,153 --> 00:53:11,620
I'd better be.
905
00:53:12,889 --> 00:53:15,722
And so what if people think
we do want to get married?
906
00:53:16,826 --> 00:53:18,487
Is that a bad thing?
907
00:53:21,498 --> 00:53:23,659
We just moved in together
six months ago.
908
00:53:23,733 --> 00:53:26,930
Eight months ago. And we've been
together two and a half years.
909
00:53:27,003 --> 00:53:30,404
- That's longer than Ben and Maggie.
- We're not like them.
910
00:53:30,473 --> 00:53:32,737
What are you saying to me?
911
00:53:32,809 --> 00:53:35,710
Are you saying you wouldn't want
to marry me even if you could?
912
00:53:35,779 --> 00:53:38,009
- I don't-- I don't know.
- You don't know?
913
00:53:38,515 --> 00:53:39,846
I don't know.
914
00:53:40,517 --> 00:53:44,283
I've never spent one instant of my life
thinking about getting married.
915
00:53:44,354 --> 00:53:47,221
One of the benefits of being gay
was that I always thought
916
00:53:47,290 --> 00:53:50,623
I wouldn't have to spend one instant
thinking about getting married,
917
00:53:50,694 --> 00:53:52,059
until now, thanks to you.
918
00:53:52,128 --> 00:53:54,961
Who wants to marry you anyway?
Not me. I'm not asking.
919
00:53:55,966 --> 00:53:56,955
Well, fine.
920
00:53:57,033 --> 00:53:58,057
Fine.
921
00:54:05,875 --> 00:54:08,207
Bridesmaids swing to the left.
922
00:54:08,278 --> 00:54:11,577
The cherub flower girl
takes her position.
923
00:54:11,648 --> 00:54:12,876
Everyone settles.
924
00:54:12,949 --> 00:54:14,644
There's a hush, and I sing...
925
00:54:14,718 --> 00:54:17,983
Sometimes when we touch...
926
00:54:18,054 --> 00:54:19,988
Governor brings Maggie...
927
00:54:20,056 --> 00:54:22,422
The honesty's too much...
928
00:54:22,492 --> 00:54:23,481
Maggie, greet Ben.
929
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,758
And I have to close my eyes
and hide
930
00:54:27,831 --> 00:54:29,264
Maggie, turn away.
931
00:54:29,332 --> 00:54:31,300
Ben, swing her around gently
toward you.
932
00:54:31,368 --> 00:54:34,201
I want to hold you till I die
933
00:54:34,271 --> 00:54:36,296
He takes her left hand.
934
00:54:36,373 --> 00:54:38,432
Till we both break down and cry
935
00:54:38,508 --> 00:54:40,100
She takes his hand.
936
00:54:40,176 --> 00:54:42,440
I want to hold you...
Squeeze it!
937
00:54:42,512 --> 00:54:44,810
Till the fear in me
938
00:54:44,881 --> 00:54:46,781
Maggie's line--
"Ben, I'm scared."
939
00:54:46,850 --> 00:54:49,478
Ben--
"I know. I'm here."
940
00:54:50,453 --> 00:54:54,184
Subsides
941
00:54:56,192 --> 00:54:58,456
I also do a terrific "Mack the Knife,"
942
00:54:58,528 --> 00:55:01,691
but I'd like to save that for when
you're ready to cut the cake, okay?
943
00:55:01,765 --> 00:55:02,959
Well?
944
00:55:03,533 --> 00:55:05,160
Really good.
945
00:55:05,235 --> 00:55:06,600
Yeah.
946
00:55:06,670 --> 00:55:08,797
But you're going to be so busy.
947
00:55:08,872 --> 00:55:12,433
Maybe we should just
go with a deejay.
948
00:55:12,509 --> 00:55:14,534
What are you talking about?
949
00:55:14,611 --> 00:55:18,172
Nothing is as good
as live musicians.
950
00:55:18,248 --> 00:55:20,842
- Is he alive?
- Ben!
951
00:55:20,917 --> 00:55:22,316
We're gonna think about it,
952
00:55:22,385 --> 00:55:26,287
'cause we need to go get ready
for the rehearsal dinner, so...
953
00:55:26,356 --> 00:55:29,917
Oh, really?
Where you having it?
954
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:33,127
Sorry, Governor,
we ran out of Guinness,
955
00:55:33,196 --> 00:55:35,630
and our delivery guy is out on...
956
00:55:36,399 --> 00:55:37,423
Well, you know.
957
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,795
Yeah, we know.
958
00:55:39,869 --> 00:55:42,633
- Fish and chips and burgers coming up.
- I'm really sorry about this.
959
00:55:42,706 --> 00:55:46,904
I had a reservation at Finique,
but they got the dates mixed up.
960
00:55:46,976 --> 00:55:49,536
That's a shame.
I really love French food.
961
00:55:49,612 --> 00:55:52,877
What's odd is that none of the other
places you called could fit us in either.
962
00:55:52,949 --> 00:55:55,543
I'll bet that's because of Shel.
963
00:55:55,618 --> 00:55:58,178
Turns out your son's very popular.
964
00:55:59,222 --> 00:56:01,247
Well, at least one of them is.
965
00:56:01,324 --> 00:56:04,350
Well, Shel always did have
loads of friends.
966
00:56:04,427 --> 00:56:08,488
Who wouldn't be proud to count Shel
amongst their friends and their family?
967
00:56:08,565 --> 00:56:10,897
Maggie, could I see you alone
for a moment?
968
00:56:10,967 --> 00:56:12,127
Sure.
969
00:56:12,635 --> 00:56:13,795
Excuse us.
970
00:56:19,175 --> 00:56:20,540
Dude.
971
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,574
Look, sweetheart,
I know you blame Ben
972
00:56:26,649 --> 00:56:29,743
for everything that's gone wrong
in the last couple of weeks.
973
00:56:29,819 --> 00:56:33,016
Actually, Dad,
I don't entirely blame Ben.
974
00:56:33,089 --> 00:56:34,420
Well, in any case...
975
00:56:36,192 --> 00:56:39,628
Ben's the one you've been taking
potshots at all night.
976
00:56:39,696 --> 00:56:43,598
I know. Sorry.
It's not my finest hour.
977
00:56:43,666 --> 00:56:47,067
It's just I'm starting to see a side of him
that I really don't like.
978
00:56:47,137 --> 00:56:48,900
Maybe you need
to remind yourself
979
00:56:48,972 --> 00:56:51,600
of all the things that
you do like about him.
980
00:56:51,674 --> 00:56:53,608
After all, you did
agree to marry him.
981
00:56:53,676 --> 00:56:55,974
Yeah, because
I stupidly love him.
982
00:56:56,045 --> 00:56:58,946
And I'm sure he stupidly
loves you too.
983
00:56:59,015 --> 00:57:02,280
He's just so frustrating.
984
00:57:02,352 --> 00:57:04,786
Look, why don't you do
what your mother does
985
00:57:04,854 --> 00:57:06,583
when she's frustrated with me.
986
00:57:06,656 --> 00:57:08,954
Needlepoint's not my thing.
987
00:57:09,959 --> 00:57:13,690
Actually I meant to say
calmly talk things out.
988
00:57:13,763 --> 00:57:14,821
Needlepoint?
989
00:57:15,398 --> 00:57:16,888
Yeah.
990
00:57:18,635 --> 00:57:21,570
So, last January when I didn't take
991
00:57:21,638 --> 00:57:24,801
your mother to Hawaii
to the governors' conference
992
00:57:24,874 --> 00:57:27,741
and she started making
those little pillows?
993
00:57:27,811 --> 00:57:30,644
I can't believe
you're just realizing this.
994
00:57:30,713 --> 00:57:33,978
Okay, this conversation
is not going at all the way I planned.
995
00:57:34,050 --> 00:57:37,986
Let's get back to the table so I can
give your mother the good news.
996
00:57:38,054 --> 00:57:39,453
What good news?
997
00:57:39,522 --> 00:57:42,650
It seems I'm taking her
to Maui this winter.
998
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,250
I'm glad we solved your problem.
999
00:57:45,328 --> 00:57:48,923
Don't worry. I think I may have
a way to solve your problem too.
1000
00:57:50,767 --> 00:57:52,997
- Did you?
- Everything okay?
1001
00:57:53,069 --> 00:57:54,934
- How are you doing?
- Hi, great.
1002
00:57:55,004 --> 00:57:57,495
Ben, I've been thinking.
1003
00:57:58,508 --> 00:58:00,567
If we sit down
with Shel and start...
1004
00:58:14,757 --> 00:58:16,384
How was the rehearsal dinner?
1005
00:58:16,459 --> 00:58:20,259
I heard Finique lost the reservations.
Bummer. Strike for gay marriage!
1006
00:58:20,330 --> 00:58:23,231
- I think I have a way to end this.
- Oh, yeah?
1007
00:58:23,299 --> 00:58:25,164
You're gonna want to hear this.
1008
00:58:27,237 --> 00:58:28,226
All right.
1009
00:58:28,304 --> 00:58:30,465
Let's go someplace a little quieter.
1010
00:58:43,987 --> 00:58:46,353
Should I be leaving a trail
of bread crumbs?
1011
00:58:46,422 --> 00:58:50,415
Is your plan to take me out here
and hope I can't find my way back?
1012
00:58:50,493 --> 00:58:53,860
No, this is real. The governor's willing
to issue a statement in favor
1013
00:58:53,930 --> 00:58:57,127
of civil unions as soon as you call off
the strike. You won, Shel.
1014
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,895
- Did you say "civil unions"?
- Yes.
1015
00:58:58,968 --> 00:58:59,957
No deal.
1016
00:59:00,904 --> 00:59:02,371
What do you mean no deal?
1017
00:59:02,438 --> 00:59:05,430
The governor's going out on a big limb.
What more do you want?
1018
00:59:05,508 --> 00:59:07,533
I want the same thing
you have: marriage.
1019
00:59:07,610 --> 00:59:09,544
Civil unions
are the same as marriage.
1020
00:59:09,612 --> 00:59:13,207
And sitting in the back of the bus is
just as comfortable as sitting in front.
1021
00:59:13,283 --> 00:59:15,547
Marriage isn't just
about a beautiful wedding.
1022
00:59:15,618 --> 00:59:16,846
There are legal issues--
1023
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,378
tax benefits, health insurance,
property rights, Social Security,
1024
00:59:20,456 --> 00:59:23,118
and other laws that apply
to married couples, not civil unions.
1025
00:59:23,192 --> 00:59:24,352
- Really?
- Really.
1026
00:59:24,427 --> 00:59:27,885
I may have started this
because I was mad, but I've learned a lot.
1027
00:59:27,964 --> 00:59:29,363
You want to make a difference?
1028
00:59:29,432 --> 00:59:31,400
Go talk to the governor
and change his mind.
1029
00:59:31,467 --> 00:59:33,162
I can't do that.
1030
00:59:33,236 --> 00:59:36,569
You know, it makes perfect sense
that your song is "Ben,"
1031
00:59:36,639 --> 00:59:40,234
because it's about a rat, which is
exactly what you turned out to be.
1032
00:59:40,310 --> 00:59:41,800
I hate that song!
1033
00:59:41,878 --> 00:59:45,211
I remember so clearly your face
the day I told you I was coming out.
1034
00:59:45,281 --> 00:59:46,612
You made that rat face!
1035
00:59:46,683 --> 00:59:49,584
It wasn't a rat face.
That was a wince of surprise.
1036
00:59:49,652 --> 00:59:51,643
It was a wince of,
"My brother's a fag!"
1037
00:59:51,721 --> 00:59:55,555
Excuse me for not throwing on
the Village People and dancing for joy.
1038
00:59:55,625 --> 00:59:58,890
It was a lot to spring on me.
You're the one who changed, not me.
1039
00:59:58,962 --> 01:00:02,193
I didn't change, Ben.
You just started treating me differently.
1040
01:00:02,265 --> 01:00:05,962
- Sometimes, I could just...
- Hit me? Go ahead.
1041
01:00:06,035 --> 01:00:08,902
Thanks to you, Maggie hates me,
half the town's booing me.
1042
01:00:08,972 --> 01:00:10,633
Even Mom's giving me the evil eye.
1043
01:00:10,707 --> 01:00:12,834
You might as well.
You've done everything else!
1044
01:00:13,409 --> 01:00:15,070
Go ahead, hit me.
1045
01:00:16,312 --> 01:00:17,301
Come on, hit me!
1046
01:00:21,417 --> 01:00:24,580
You hit me.
I can't believe you just hit me.
1047
01:00:24,654 --> 01:00:27,782
You told me to hit you.
I thought you wanted me to hit you.
1048
01:00:27,857 --> 01:00:30,018
Ow! I didn't say
you could hit me.
1049
01:00:30,093 --> 01:00:32,653
- It was implicit when you hit me.
- Oh, yeah?
1050
01:00:39,235 --> 01:00:41,465
Not bad for a fairy, huh?
1051
01:00:52,015 --> 01:00:55,382
- Wait. Dad's coming.
- Where?
1052
01:00:55,451 --> 01:00:59,046
I can't believe
you still fall for that.
1053
01:00:59,122 --> 01:01:01,022
Break it up. Break it up!
1054
01:01:02,091 --> 01:01:03,456
He started it.
1055
01:01:03,559 --> 01:01:05,526
You so started it.
1056
01:01:05,595 --> 01:01:07,358
You.
1057
01:01:07,430 --> 01:01:10,194
Hey, aren't you
that gay strike guy?
1058
01:01:12,535 --> 01:01:13,866
Yeah.
1059
01:01:15,038 --> 01:01:17,802
- We're behind you, man.
- Yeah. Can you sign my helmet?
1060
01:01:17,874 --> 01:01:20,365
Yes, I'd be delighted to.
1061
01:01:24,547 --> 01:01:28,483
- There you go.
- "To my gay brother."
1062
01:01:28,551 --> 01:01:30,041
What makes you think I'm gay?
1063
01:01:30,119 --> 01:01:32,178
Sorry, I just assumed.
Let me fix that.
1064
01:01:32,255 --> 01:01:36,487
Now it's
"To my not-gay brother."
1065
01:01:36,559 --> 01:01:38,322
Grandy, you made bail.
1066
01:01:40,697 --> 01:01:42,096
The straight one.
1067
01:01:45,702 --> 01:01:47,363
The gay one gets out too.
1068
01:01:51,774 --> 01:01:55,073
Funny how we both chose
to wear concealing hats.
1069
01:01:55,144 --> 01:01:58,045
Oh, please, I came this close
to wearing Shel's sombrero.
1070
01:01:59,048 --> 01:02:00,640
Yeah, we'd make a great photo op.
1071
01:02:00,717 --> 01:02:03,652
"Governor's daughter
and Assistant District Attorney
1072
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,281
were seen bailing their respective
boyfriends out of the Big House."
1073
01:02:07,356 --> 01:02:09,756
When Shel said he wanted
to fight for gay marriage,
1074
01:02:09,826 --> 01:02:11,794
I had no idea he meant literally.
1075
01:02:11,861 --> 01:02:15,297
I don't think it's about gay marriage
as much as it's about Ben and Shel.
1076
01:02:15,364 --> 01:02:16,388
Oh, yeah.
1077
01:02:16,466 --> 01:02:19,560
Do you think they are ever going
to grow up and forgive each other?
1078
01:02:19,635 --> 01:02:21,330
It's hard to say.
1079
01:02:21,404 --> 01:02:25,932
Unfortunately, along with the great hair,
they both inherited a stubborn streak.
1080
01:02:26,676 --> 01:02:29,668
Why couldn't they both
just have been double-jointed?
1081
01:02:31,147 --> 01:02:33,115
It's not my fault.
He's a crazy person.
1082
01:02:33,182 --> 01:02:35,548
A civil union is not a marriage!
1083
01:02:35,618 --> 01:02:36,607
You hear that?
1084
01:02:36,686 --> 01:02:40,087
He's right. Would you be satisfied
just signing a contract with me?
1085
01:02:40,156 --> 01:02:41,145
I give up.
1086
01:02:41,224 --> 01:02:43,852
I give up. You're the only
sane one of the bunch.
1087
01:02:43,926 --> 01:02:45,587
While you were siding with Shel,
1088
01:02:45,661 --> 01:02:48,824
he was trying to help me
talk him out of striking.
1089
01:02:48,898 --> 01:02:51,799
I didn't do it for you,
Ben, I did it for Shel.
1090
01:02:51,868 --> 01:02:53,893
Frankly, I think
you're kind of an ass.
1091
01:02:53,970 --> 01:02:55,733
Let's get out of here, shall we?
1092
01:03:07,250 --> 01:03:09,480
I'm sorry we fought
over the marriage thing.
1093
01:03:09,552 --> 01:03:11,747
I don't like being pressured.
1094
01:03:12,822 --> 01:03:14,312
Ted, if you love someone,
1095
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:17,882
the idea of staying together
shouldn't feel like pressure.
1096
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:19,587
I've been thinking about this.
1097
01:03:19,662 --> 01:03:24,156
If we're not in this for the long run,
I'm not so sure I want to be in it at all.
1098
01:03:24,233 --> 01:03:28,829
Wait. Shel, why can't we just go
back to the way it was before?
1099
01:03:31,941 --> 01:03:33,932
'Cause I'm...
1100
01:03:34,010 --> 01:03:36,001
not the same person I was before.
1101
01:03:40,516 --> 01:03:42,143
Shel, get in the car.
1102
01:05:04,467 --> 01:05:07,368
Maggie, say something.
We gotta talk about this.
1103
01:05:07,436 --> 01:05:09,529
Ben, right now,
I don't want to talk to anyone.
1104
01:05:09,605 --> 01:05:12,438
I don't want to see anyone.
I just want to be left alone.
1105
01:05:18,814 --> 01:05:22,250
Magpie, your wedding planner
lady called.
1106
01:05:22,318 --> 01:05:25,151
She said she couldn't get doves,
but you shouldn't worry
1107
01:05:25,221 --> 01:05:27,655
'cause she lined up
some trained pigeons.
1108
01:05:36,032 --> 01:05:39,729
It appears the two-week-old gay strike
has actually helped Welling.
1109
01:05:39,802 --> 01:05:42,100
Over 60% of voters
support his decision
1110
01:05:42,171 --> 01:05:44,036
to stand up to the protesters.
1111
01:05:44,106 --> 01:05:45,630
You see? There you go.
1112
01:05:45,708 --> 01:05:48,438
The moral majority's on my side.
1113
01:05:48,511 --> 01:05:52,277
Conrad, you know, just because
people disagree with you on this
1114
01:05:52,348 --> 01:05:54,839
doesn't mean that they are immoral.
1115
01:05:55,518 --> 01:05:57,008
Me, for instance.
1116
01:05:57,186 --> 01:06:00,121
Well, you?
You're on their side?
1117
01:06:00,189 --> 01:06:01,952
It's not them or us, dear.
1118
01:06:02,024 --> 01:06:03,889
We're all the same.
1119
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:08,056
Frankly, I'm a little disappointed
that you seem to have forgotten that.
1120
01:06:08,631 --> 01:06:10,895
Is that needlepoint?
1121
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,401
Yes, I'm going to cover
the dining room chairs--
1122
01:06:13,469 --> 01:06:15,266
all 12 of them.
1123
01:06:15,938 --> 01:06:18,270
I think I'm going to get some air.
1124
01:06:20,810 --> 01:06:22,505
Don't catch cold.
1125
01:06:36,325 --> 01:06:37,383
Governor.
1126
01:06:37,460 --> 01:06:39,826
Sorry, I was-- I wasn't--
1127
01:06:39,895 --> 01:06:42,125
Clearly, I was, but, you know,
I didn't yet.
1128
01:06:43,199 --> 01:06:47,727
You know, I often find common ground
with my political opponents,
1129
01:06:47,803 --> 01:06:51,432
but I don't very often
find a common tree.
1130
01:06:52,508 --> 01:06:55,909
Nine bathrooms, and you still use a tree.
You really are a man of the people.
1131
01:06:55,978 --> 01:06:59,072
I didn't want to go back
in the house yet, you know?
1132
01:06:59,148 --> 01:07:01,207
I'm not very popular
with my wife right now.
1133
01:07:01,283 --> 01:07:03,148
How come you're not
using your parents' RV?
1134
01:07:03,219 --> 01:07:05,210
I'm not popular
with my dad right now.
1135
01:07:05,287 --> 01:07:07,881
That's the toughest thing
about being in politics.
1136
01:07:07,957 --> 01:07:10,949
You don't want to disappoint
the people you love,
1137
01:07:11,027 --> 01:07:12,688
but sometimes it's inevitable.
1138
01:07:12,762 --> 01:07:15,094
Even when you believe
in something in your heart
1139
01:07:15,164 --> 01:07:16,961
you have to hope
they understand.
1140
01:07:17,033 --> 01:07:18,557
To thine own self be true.
1141
01:07:18,634 --> 01:07:19,965
Even when it sucks, huh?
1142
01:07:20,036 --> 01:07:21,060
Even when it sucks.
1143
01:07:21,137 --> 01:07:26,541
Look, Shel,
I'm enjoying our little talk here.
1144
01:07:26,609 --> 01:07:27,598
I know. I got...
1145
01:07:28,411 --> 01:07:30,379
- See ya.
- Thanks, Gov.
1146
01:07:32,314 --> 01:07:33,611
Now the polls are showing
1147
01:07:33,682 --> 01:07:36,242
Welling's tough stance
against the gay strikers
1148
01:07:36,318 --> 01:07:37,910
has put him comfortably
in the lead.
1149
01:07:37,987 --> 01:07:41,423
Let's hope gays will leave the marching
to people with real issues
1150
01:07:41,490 --> 01:07:42,787
and go back to their parades.
1151
01:07:47,396 --> 01:07:48,556
Son.
1152
01:07:49,498 --> 01:07:51,489
I know. I heard.
1153
01:07:51,567 --> 01:07:54,730
My strike is making the governor
even more popular than ever.
1154
01:07:54,804 --> 01:07:56,897
I guess I embarrassed you
for nothing, huh?
1155
01:07:57,973 --> 01:08:00,965
Look, I can't really say
this is easy for me...
1156
01:08:02,278 --> 01:08:03,711
this gay stuff.
1157
01:08:03,779 --> 01:08:05,110
I don't know.
1158
01:08:06,115 --> 01:08:08,413
But I do know I'm proud of you,
1159
01:08:08,484 --> 01:08:12,079
taking a stand for something
you believe in.
1160
01:08:12,955 --> 01:08:15,253
But I lost.
1161
01:08:16,258 --> 01:08:19,056
Let me tell you something.
1162
01:08:19,128 --> 01:08:22,962
In '86 when our union
went on strike,
1163
01:08:23,032 --> 01:08:25,762
we were out for six months.
1164
01:08:25,835 --> 01:08:27,496
We ended up losing anyway.
1165
01:08:27,570 --> 01:08:30,471
I put my sign down
and went back to work.
1166
01:08:30,539 --> 01:08:33,007
So you think I should go back
to work on the wedding?
1167
01:08:33,075 --> 01:08:35,908
That's between you
and your conscience.
1168
01:08:35,978 --> 01:08:40,005
All I'm really trying to say is,
even though we lost,
1169
01:08:40,082 --> 01:08:44,542
I'll never regret taking a stand,
and neither should you.
1170
01:08:46,489 --> 01:08:47,820
Thanks, Dad.
1171
01:08:49,692 --> 01:08:51,250
Look...
1172
01:08:51,327 --> 01:08:54,694
we went back out
a couple of years later, and we won.
1173
01:08:55,831 --> 01:08:59,597
I mean, you can lose a battle
and still win the war.
1174
01:08:59,668 --> 01:09:00,999
Remember that.
1175
01:09:03,973 --> 01:09:06,635
I'm sorry I didn't tell
you and Mom I was gay sooner.
1176
01:09:08,777 --> 01:09:09,937
I'm sorry.
1177
01:09:10,946 --> 01:09:14,609
I'm just sorry that you
didn't feel that you could.
1178
01:09:15,618 --> 01:09:19,054
You know, there's no secret,
no matter how big,
1179
01:09:19,121 --> 01:09:21,112
could ever come between us.
1180
01:09:22,291 --> 01:09:25,454
You're my son, no matter what.
1181
01:09:32,101 --> 01:09:33,799
Hey, Ben?
1182
01:09:36,872 --> 01:09:37,998
It's Magpie.
1183
01:09:38,073 --> 01:09:40,735
Dude, on the phone,
phone, phone.
1184
01:09:41,810 --> 01:09:42,970
Hi, honey.
1185
01:09:43,979 --> 01:09:45,503
Hi, honey.
1186
01:09:45,581 --> 01:09:48,573
Did you sneak out early
because it's bad luck
1187
01:09:48,651 --> 01:09:50,642
to see the bride
before the wedding?
1188
01:09:50,719 --> 01:09:52,448
I got to run out for a while.
1189
01:09:52,521 --> 01:09:54,580
Cool. Hey, even though
the wedding's off,
1190
01:09:54,657 --> 01:09:56,989
can I still wear
the pretty tux today?
1191
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,050
How'd you know about the wedding?
1192
01:09:59,128 --> 01:10:01,528
I was on the extension.
I'm the one who blew his nose.
1193
01:10:06,602 --> 01:10:08,263
Out of the way, please.
1194
01:10:09,338 --> 01:10:10,327
Thank you.
1195
01:10:12,508 --> 01:10:13,941
Excuse me, darling.
1196
01:10:14,009 --> 01:10:17,706
Have you seen a small Panamanian
gardener with a topiary elephant?
1197
01:10:17,780 --> 01:10:19,577
No, I'm happy to say.
1198
01:10:19,648 --> 01:10:21,912
What are you doing
over here anyway?
1199
01:10:21,984 --> 01:10:24,782
Why aren't you with your rabble,
leading the charge?
1200
01:10:24,853 --> 01:10:28,050
The media wants my reaction to the poll.
I'm trying to think what to say.
1201
01:10:29,358 --> 01:10:32,122
You can tell them
that you succeeded at one thing--
1202
01:10:32,194 --> 01:10:33,821
the wedding's been put on hold.
1203
01:10:33,896 --> 01:10:36,228
Maggie apparently
wants to call it off,
1204
01:10:36,298 --> 01:10:37,925
and no one knows where she is.
1205
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,560
Maggie's called off the wedding?
What happened?
1206
01:10:40,636 --> 01:10:43,230
You didn't hear it from me.
I happen to know from a very...
1207
01:10:49,445 --> 01:10:50,503
Thank you.
1208
01:10:58,854 --> 01:11:00,151
Thank you.
1209
01:11:00,222 --> 01:11:01,587
Good morning.
1210
01:11:01,657 --> 01:11:05,593
I know it's been a long night,
but in spite of the polls,
1211
01:11:05,661 --> 01:11:07,925
I want you all to know
that everyone here
1212
01:11:07,997 --> 01:11:10,591
and everyone that supported us
around the country
1213
01:11:10,666 --> 01:11:12,293
have made a difference--
1214
01:11:12,368 --> 01:11:16,099
an even bigger difference than
I think any of us could have imagined.
1215
01:11:16,171 --> 01:11:18,002
I know I sure couldn't.
1216
01:11:19,508 --> 01:11:21,169
We may have lost the battle...
1217
01:11:23,012 --> 01:11:26,243
but in my heart I know
one day we will win the war.
1218
01:11:29,318 --> 01:11:31,684
We'll win because
we're gonna keep trying
1219
01:11:31,754 --> 01:11:34,689
and because the people
and friends and family
1220
01:11:34,757 --> 01:11:37,351
and co-workers we return to
have been put on notice
1221
01:11:37,426 --> 01:11:40,122
that we will not be treated
like second-class citizens
1222
01:11:40,195 --> 01:11:41,924
because of who we love.
1223
01:11:42,998 --> 01:11:46,593
And if you're not out to all the people
in your life, then maybe it's time.
1224
01:11:47,169 --> 01:11:49,296
Because those who think gay people
1225
01:11:49,371 --> 01:11:51,635
are out to destroy
the institution of marriage
1226
01:11:51,707 --> 01:11:53,641
don't know us very well.
1227
01:11:53,709 --> 01:11:55,904
We do not destroy.
1228
01:11:55,978 --> 01:11:57,309
We renovate.
1229
01:11:59,715 --> 01:12:02,912
And we are gonna make
marriage stronger
1230
01:12:02,985 --> 01:12:05,613
and even more beautiful than ever.
1231
01:12:07,389 --> 01:12:10,051
I may not always agree
with everyone in my family...
1232
01:12:11,327 --> 01:12:13,318
but they are my family.
1233
01:12:13,395 --> 01:12:15,090
And this whole thing started
1234
01:12:15,164 --> 01:12:19,396
because I believe everybody
deserves a beautiful wedding.
1235
01:12:19,468 --> 01:12:23,165
For better or worse,
that includes my brother.
1236
01:12:23,238 --> 01:12:25,103
There was to be
a wedding here today,
1237
01:12:25,174 --> 01:12:27,540
but it's not gonna happen
without our help.
1238
01:12:27,609 --> 01:12:28,769
Now...
1239
01:12:30,346 --> 01:12:33,042
I'd like to ask y'all a little favor.
1240
01:12:33,115 --> 01:12:36,141
Does she have any idea how
embarrassing it would be to cancel now?
1241
01:12:36,218 --> 01:12:38,152
How could she do this to me?
1242
01:12:39,121 --> 01:12:42,284
Oh, and you too, Ben, naturally.
1243
01:12:42,358 --> 01:12:44,918
Okay, I called up all the guests
and gave them the heads-up
1244
01:12:44,993 --> 01:12:46,927
that the wedding may be canceled--
1245
01:12:46,995 --> 01:12:50,192
postponed with extreme prejudice.
1246
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:52,258
I'll be right in there.
1247
01:12:52,334 --> 01:12:55,269
Try her cellphone again.
Maybe she'll answer this time.
1248
01:12:55,337 --> 01:12:58,966
My speed dial tries every two minutes.
She just doesn't want to talk to me.
1249
01:12:59,041 --> 01:13:02,568
It's probably just pre-wedding jitters.
1250
01:13:02,644 --> 01:13:05,909
I know I was really nervous
about my honeymoon night.
1251
01:13:05,981 --> 01:13:08,814
Of course, that wouldn't
really be a problem for her.
1252
01:13:08,884 --> 01:13:10,715
It's not jitters.
1253
01:13:10,786 --> 01:13:12,754
She just doesn't want
to marry some oaf
1254
01:13:12,821 --> 01:13:15,585
who's totally unaware
how she's feeling half the time.
1255
01:13:15,657 --> 01:13:19,753
Oh, no, dear. If that were true,
no woman would get married.
1256
01:13:19,828 --> 01:13:22,888
I'm calling in the state troopers.
Maybe they can find her.
1257
01:13:22,965 --> 01:13:24,523
I'm surprised she doesn't have
1258
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,034
one of those GPS deals
on her cellphone
1259
01:13:27,102 --> 01:13:30,003
so you could locate her
in case of emergency.
1260
01:13:30,072 --> 01:13:31,562
My God, of course she does.
1261
01:13:32,808 --> 01:13:35,504
- You're a genius!
- We'll pinpoint her in two seconds.
1262
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:40,173
If you're calling security, tell them
the gays are invading the south lawn.
1263
01:13:54,263 --> 01:13:55,662
Wait for it.
1264
01:14:03,939 --> 01:14:05,201
It could be cooler.
1265
01:14:05,274 --> 01:14:07,834
Oh, my God.
We have our work cut out for us.
1266
01:14:07,910 --> 01:14:09,741
- What?
- Let's go, gang.
1267
01:14:09,812 --> 01:14:11,302
Get out of the way.
1268
01:14:14,550 --> 01:14:17,815
The lam�, get rid of the lam�!
Anything lam� goes away.
1269
01:14:40,476 --> 01:14:42,808
All right, gentlemen, focus.
1270
01:14:42,878 --> 01:14:44,573
Tenors, little more to your left.
1271
01:14:44,646 --> 01:14:49,413
Get in places, and remember,
if you can't see me, I can't see you.
1272
01:14:49,985 --> 01:14:51,418
Okay.
1273
01:14:52,521 --> 01:14:53,783
Ted?
1274
01:14:53,856 --> 01:14:56,620
What are you doing here,
besides sabotaging the gazebo
1275
01:14:56,692 --> 01:14:58,922
these nice lesbians
just put back together?
1276
01:14:58,994 --> 01:15:00,154
I love you.
1277
01:15:01,530 --> 01:15:05,364
I love you so much, and I don't
want to lose you, you crazy man.
1278
01:15:09,471 --> 01:15:10,802
I love you too.
1279
01:15:14,343 --> 01:15:17,574
- But... I'm not ready to get married.
- I understand.
1280
01:15:17,646 --> 01:15:20,774
I just, uh, you know, moving in
together was traumatic enough.
1281
01:15:20,849 --> 01:15:21,838
I know.
1282
01:15:21,917 --> 01:15:24,078
- Just give me some time.
- I'll give you time.
1283
01:15:24,152 --> 01:15:26,712
I am Mr. Time. I'll give you
all the time you need.
1284
01:15:26,788 --> 01:15:28,653
- How much time do you need?
- Shel!
1285
01:15:28,724 --> 01:15:30,419
- What?
- I don't know, I don't know.
1286
01:15:30,492 --> 01:15:32,483
I just, uh... in time.
1287
01:15:32,561 --> 01:15:36,088
Okay? Maybe... maybe
I just need a sign.
1288
01:15:38,667 --> 01:15:41,067
Okay, not that kind of sign.
1289
01:15:41,837 --> 01:15:43,828
- Okay.
- Okay.
1290
01:15:46,408 --> 01:15:49,241
Wow. This is gonna be beautiful.
1291
01:15:49,311 --> 01:15:50,778
It sure is.
1292
01:15:51,847 --> 01:15:55,112
Ben and Maggie
must be so excited.
1293
01:15:55,183 --> 01:15:56,343
Maggie!
1294
01:16:03,525 --> 01:16:05,186
Let's jump in my car right here!
1295
01:16:07,095 --> 01:16:10,656
Who's driving this van?
Who's driving this van?
1296
01:16:23,579 --> 01:16:25,240
Maggie.
1297
01:16:26,214 --> 01:16:28,444
Ben, wha--
How did you find me?
1298
01:16:28,517 --> 01:16:30,576
The GPS on your cellphone.
1299
01:16:30,652 --> 01:16:33,985
Only you've been moving around a lot--
I've been chasing you all day.
1300
01:16:34,056 --> 01:16:36,217
Listen, sweetheart,
running is not the answer.
1301
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:40,591
I know I've been an idiot,
but please stay and marry me.
1302
01:16:40,662 --> 01:16:43,096
Ben, I-I don't want to get married
1303
01:16:43,165 --> 01:16:46,328
until it's a happy occasion
for everyone, including me.
1304
01:16:46,401 --> 01:16:49,598
And I don't know if I'd be happy
marrying someone
1305
01:16:49,671 --> 01:16:52,162
who'd take sides
against his own brother.
1306
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,767
You know, Shel didn't
let you down for being gay.
1307
01:16:55,844 --> 01:16:58,278
You let him down by not accepting it.
1308
01:16:58,347 --> 01:17:00,542
But I do accept it. I get it now.
1309
01:17:00,616 --> 01:17:02,311
Okay, I really want
to believe you,
1310
01:17:02,384 --> 01:17:04,852
but you're gonna have to
be a little more specific.
1311
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,320
Okay, okay. When you called off
the wedding this morning,
1312
01:17:07,389 --> 01:17:10,620
I knew that I had screwed up
the happiest day of my life.
1313
01:17:10,692 --> 01:17:12,057
And then it hit me:
1314
01:17:12,127 --> 01:17:14,755
that's what I have been trying
to keep Shel from having all along.
1315
01:17:14,830 --> 01:17:18,391
Right now, he and I
are fighting for the same thing.
1316
01:17:18,467 --> 01:17:20,662
And I swear to you,
as soon as I stop
1317
01:17:20,736 --> 01:17:23,466
begging you for forgiveness,
I'll start begging him.
1318
01:17:23,538 --> 01:17:26,200
So please,
don't get on that plane.
1319
01:17:27,275 --> 01:17:28,503
What-- what-- what plane?
1320
01:17:29,578 --> 01:17:31,170
The plane you were taking.
1321
01:17:31,246 --> 01:17:34,409
Oh, actually, I was here
to pick up Stephanie.
1322
01:17:34,483 --> 01:17:36,542
But she missed her flight,
which is fine,
1323
01:17:36,618 --> 01:17:38,609
'cause I no longer
need a maid of honor.
1324
01:17:39,721 --> 01:17:43,179
Ben, even if Shel forgives you,
there's no time.
1325
01:17:46,561 --> 01:17:49,257
- We can't get married like this.
- Maggie!
1326
01:17:49,331 --> 01:17:51,492
Oh, my God.
1327
01:17:53,735 --> 01:17:55,066
Maggie!
1328
01:17:55,237 --> 01:17:57,034
Maggie!
1329
01:18:23,498 --> 01:18:26,399
- Bonnie, thanks!
- Oh, my God.
1330
01:18:30,972 --> 01:18:32,906
- Thanks, girls!
- Yeah, boss.
1331
01:18:36,178 --> 01:18:38,078
- Oh.
- Whoa.
1332
01:18:39,347 --> 01:18:41,008
How did you--?
What did--?
1333
01:18:41,083 --> 01:18:42,414
I can't believe it.
1334
01:18:42,484 --> 01:18:44,349
- This is what I do, Ben.
- No, no, no.
1335
01:18:44,419 --> 01:18:48,913
I mean, I can't believe you'd do this
for me, Shel. I'm-- I'm sorry...
1336
01:18:48,990 --> 01:18:51,584
I know. When I have time,
I want to hear the whole apology,
1337
01:18:51,660 --> 01:18:54,220
but right now,
hair and makeup, stat! Let's go!
1338
01:19:21,523 --> 01:19:23,013
Wait.
1339
01:19:24,893 --> 01:19:26,724
One more thing.
1340
01:19:26,795 --> 01:19:28,285
I got the rings.
1341
01:19:38,540 --> 01:19:39,973
Wow.
1342
01:19:49,885 --> 01:19:52,718
Wait'll you see where she's
wearing something blue.
1343
01:20:08,737 --> 01:20:09,726
Hi.
1344
01:20:13,608 --> 01:20:14,870
Second.
1345
01:20:25,687 --> 01:20:28,121
We are gathered here to witness
1346
01:20:28,190 --> 01:20:30,454
and to celebrate in holy matrimony
1347
01:20:30,525 --> 01:20:33,619
the union of Margaret Welling
and Benjamin Grandy.
1348
01:20:33,728 --> 01:20:37,562
It's not unusual
to be loved by anyone
1349
01:20:38,867 --> 01:20:43,327
It's not unusual
to have fun with anyone
1350
01:20:44,339 --> 01:20:48,673
But when I see you
hanging around with anyone
1351
01:20:49,878 --> 01:20:51,505
It's not unusual
1352
01:20:51,580 --> 01:20:53,912
To see me cry
1353
01:20:53,982 --> 01:20:55,882
I wanna die
1354
01:20:57,085 --> 01:20:59,383
Ed, there's something
I have to do-- trust me.
1355
01:20:59,454 --> 01:21:01,081
- Mrs. Welling?
- Just trust me.
1356
01:21:02,524 --> 01:21:03,513
Wow.
1357
01:21:03,592 --> 01:21:07,551
But when I see you out and about,
it's such a crime
1358
01:21:07,629 --> 01:21:13,226
If you should ever wanna be
loved by anyone
1359
01:21:13,301 --> 01:21:15,269
It's not unusual
1360
01:21:15,337 --> 01:21:17,897
It happens every day
1361
01:21:17,973 --> 01:21:19,133
No matter what they say
1362
01:21:19,207 --> 01:21:20,970
I'm gonna throw the bouquet!
1363
01:21:21,276 --> 01:21:24,837
You'll find it happens all the time
1364
01:21:24,913 --> 01:21:27,746
Come on, you crazy people!
Come on!
1365
01:21:27,816 --> 01:21:30,011
- What you wanna do
- Everybody!
1366
01:21:30,085 --> 01:21:31,848
Come on, come on, come on!
1367
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,185
Why can't this crazy love
be mine?
1368
01:21:35,257 --> 01:21:36,246
Ready?
1369
01:21:37,325 --> 01:21:38,724
One!
1370
01:21:38,793 --> 01:21:39,782
Two!
1371
01:21:39,861 --> 01:21:41,351
It's not unusual
1372
01:21:41,429 --> 01:21:43,863
To be mad with anyone
1373
01:21:44,833 --> 01:21:50,430
It's not unusual to be sad
with anyone
1374
01:21:50,505 --> 01:21:55,704
But if I ever find that
you've changed at any time
1375
01:21:55,777 --> 01:21:57,404
It's not unusual
1376
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:01,711
To find that I'm in love
with you, whoa, whoa
1377
01:22:01,783 --> 01:22:06,220
Hi. Um, uh, Vern,
this is Ted, Shel's...
1378
01:22:06,288 --> 01:22:08,085
lover.
1379
01:22:12,460 --> 01:22:14,052
Nice to finally meet you, sir.
1380
01:22:14,129 --> 01:22:15,357
Call me Vern.
1381
01:22:15,430 --> 01:22:17,295
So, I hear you're a lawyer.
1382
01:22:17,365 --> 01:22:18,832
Prosecutor, actually.
1383
01:22:18,900 --> 01:22:20,060
Oh. Well, that's good.
1384
01:22:20,135 --> 01:22:22,228
I mean, it means
you always got work.
1385
01:22:23,505 --> 01:22:26,065
You wouldn't happen
to be a Lutheran, would you?
1386
01:22:28,143 --> 01:22:29,974
I am so getting laid tonight.
1387
01:22:30,045 --> 01:22:32,138
Say yes.
1388
01:22:34,416 --> 01:22:37,351
I have been, uh,
requested to ask you all
1389
01:22:37,419 --> 01:22:41,116
to clear the dance floor
for a very special dance.
1390
01:22:41,189 --> 01:22:44,215
So please clear the floor.
Thank you.
1391
01:22:44,292 --> 01:22:46,283
Come on, come on.
Something special.
1392
01:22:54,669 --> 01:22:57,604
Ben, the two of us
1393
01:22:57,672 --> 01:23:01,938
Need look no more
1394
01:23:02,010 --> 01:23:04,604
We both found
1395
01:23:04,679 --> 01:23:07,910
What we were looking for
1396
01:23:09,017 --> 01:23:13,283
With a friend to call my own
1397
01:23:13,355 --> 01:23:17,451
I'll never be alone
1398
01:23:17,525 --> 01:23:20,585
And you, my friend, will see
1399
01:23:20,662 --> 01:23:24,098
You've got a friend in me
1400
01:23:24,265 --> 01:23:29,532
You've got a friend in me
1401
01:23:29,604 --> 01:23:33,335
Ben, you're always running
1402
01:23:33,408 --> 01:23:36,809
Here and there
1403
01:23:36,878 --> 01:23:41,906
You feel you're not wanted
anywhere
1404
01:23:41,983 --> 01:23:43,917
Anywhere
1405
01:23:43,985 --> 01:23:48,820
If you ever look behind
1406
01:23:48,890 --> 01:23:51,654
Shel, this is so beautiful.
1407
01:23:52,927 --> 01:23:54,827
Thank you.
1408
01:23:55,897 --> 01:23:59,890
You've got a place to go
1409
01:23:59,968 --> 01:24:01,458
- What?
- Do you mind?
1410
01:24:02,937 --> 01:24:05,565
- What do you want? What?
- I thought maybe we--
1411
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:06,902
I'm not gonna dance with you.
1412
01:24:06,975 --> 01:24:08,840
Dancing with a man
make you uncomfortable?
1413
01:24:08,910 --> 01:24:10,707
Get away from me!
1414
01:24:10,779 --> 01:24:13,509
It doesn't make me uncomfortable.
Let's dance. I lead.
1415
01:24:13,581 --> 01:24:14,570
- I lead.
- I lead.
1416
01:24:14,649 --> 01:24:15,638
- I lead!
- All right, lead.
1417
01:24:21,956 --> 01:24:26,757
Ben, most people
would turn you away
1418
01:24:26,828 --> 01:24:28,796
Turn you away
1419
01:24:28,863 --> 01:24:33,926
I don't listen
to a word they say
1420
01:24:34,002 --> 01:24:36,368
A word they say
1421
01:24:36,438 --> 01:24:40,772
They don't see you as I do
1422
01:24:40,842 --> 01:24:43,310
I wish they would try to
1423
01:24:43,378 --> 01:24:47,747
I'm sure they'd think again
1424
01:24:47,816 --> 01:24:53,152
If they had a friend like Ben
1425
01:24:53,221 --> 01:24:54,688
Like Ben
1426
01:24:54,856 --> 01:24:55,880
Like Ben
1427
01:24:56,057 --> 01:24:58,150
Like Ben
1428
01:24:58,326 --> 01:25:00,954
Like
1429
01:25:01,029 --> 01:25:05,295
Ben
1430
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,915
But, Shel, the institution of marriage
has been around for a long time.
1431
01:25:28,990 --> 01:25:31,857
- I understand.
- You can't expect it to change overnight.
1432
01:25:31,926 --> 01:25:33,587
Nothing stays the same forever.
1433
01:25:34,996 --> 01:25:38,227
But, Shel, it's not like I can
just reverse my opinion.
1434
01:25:38,299 --> 01:25:40,290
I mean, come on, Governor,
why not?
1435
01:25:40,368 --> 01:25:43,531
Well, for one thing, I don't want to.
I want to get reelected.
1436
01:25:43,605 --> 01:25:45,436
So you're against gay marriage...
