Preview of Marriage to Ike Turner Full Transcript

Priest

While each man thinks he knows love... love, we have learned, is a mystery. That's what makes today so special. We witness two people choosing to marry ones they truly love.

John Beckwith

Whoa, whoa, hey!

Jeremy Grey

Hey! Hey! He's the best man.

Secretary Cleary

Yeah.

John Beckwith

Thank you.

Sack Lodge

I don't believe this.

Jeremy Grey

Hat in hand.

John Beckwith

I'm sorry I'm late.

Jeremy Grey

I'm glad you're here.

John Beckwith

And I'm sorry I called you white trash. I didn't...

Jeremy Grey

John, apology accepted.

John Beckwith

Okay. And I'm sorry I called you a hillbilly, I don't even know what that meant.

Jeremy Grey

John, it's okay. Do you mind if I get married now?

John Beckwith

No, go ahead.

Jeremy Grey

Okay.

John Beckwith

Hi, Todd.

Priest

Although we may choose whom we marry... we don't always choose...

John Beckwith

Psst. Claire, I'm not here to bother you, I just came to be his best man. Don't worry about me. Pretend I'm not here.

Claire Cleary

Okay.

John Beckwith

I'm not a nut. You look really pretty, by the way. That's all I'm gonna say. I can't stop thinking about you. It's all I think about and I don't know what to do.

Jeremy Grey

Ahem.

John Beckwith

I'm sorry.

Priest

You see, love is mysterious...

John Beckwith

God, I miss you.

Claire Cleary

Okay, excuse me, I'm sorry.

John Beckwith

Claire, hold it a second. Claire, Claire. Claire, will you wait just a second? All I wanted was a second alone so I could try to explain things. But I've never gotten that chance. Maybe I don't deserve it. So here goes. For longer than I care to remember, my business has been crashing weddings. I crashed weddings to meet girls. Business was good. I met a lot of girls. And it was childish, it was juvenile...

Claire Cleary

And pathetic.

John Beckwith

Yeah, that's probably the best word to describe it. But you know what? It also led me to you. So it's hard for me to completely regret it. And that person that you met back at your folks' place, that was really me. Maybe not my name... I'm John Beckwith, by the way. Or my job... but the feelings we felt... the jokes, the stupid laughs, that was all me. I've changed. I've realized something. I crashed a funeral earlier, and I...

Claire Cleary

Wha...?

Jeremy Grey

Oh, Jesus.

John Beckwith

It wasn't my idea. I was basically dragged to it. I went with Chazz, who you forgot to tell me is totally insane. He also might be a genius, because it actually does work. He's cleaning up.

Claire Cleary

John.

John Beckwith

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's neither here nor there. And I see this widow and she's a wreck. She's just lost the person she loves the most in this world. And I realized we're all gonna lose the people we love. That's the way it is. But not me, not right now. Because the person I love the most is standing right here... and I'm not ready to lose you yet. Claire, I'm not standing here asking you to marry me. I'm just asking you... not to marry him. And maybe take a walk. Take a chance.

Sack Lodge

Wow. Wow! This congregation really doesn't care about how depressing your life is, John, okay? Claire, baby, could you go back up on the altar so we can have a wedding?

Claire Cleary

I'm sorry. I am.

Sack Lodge

What?

Claire Cleary

I can't marry you.

Sack Lodge

Secretary... your daughter's a little...

Secretary Cleary

Sack, I've always liked you... so I put up with your stories about scallops and otters and it's all good because you seemed to make her happy and that's what matters to me most. But this is her decision. I stand by my daughter.

Sack Lodge

You don't know shit. Claire, go back up on the altar.

Claire Cleary

No.

Sack Lodge

Claire! Claire, get up on that altar right now.

Claire Cleary

Stop it.

Sack Lodge

Claire, get your fucking ass on that altar right now!

John Beckwith

Wow, getting a nice preview of what marriage is gonna be like with Ike Turner here.

Claire Cleary

Sack!

John Beckwith

Oh, God, here it goes.

Jeremy Grey

Share that with the Dalai Lama, jackass.

John Beckwith

I think I had him.

Jeremy Grey

I know you did. Just go kiss the broad.

John Beckwith

Claire Cleary

Yes.

Secretary Cleary

Just wonderful.

Chazz Reinhold

So damn beautiful. With every death there comes rebirth. It's the circle of life.

Girls

Oh.

Chazz Reinhold

We're gonna be all right. Hey. Hey.
