ROSE: Hi, Charlie.
You should know that I didn't come over to ruin your date.
Really? Why did you come over?
To tell you that I'm getting married.
Today's the big day, huh?
Oh, please. There's no wedding.
Would it make a difference to you,
knowing that cute little face
will never pop up over that railing again?
That the one woman who's always loved you and been there for you
is forever out of reach?
Come on.
Where are we going?
To the church. I'm going to prove to you
that she's not getting married.
Look. Tell me if you see a wedding.
I see a wedding.
OFFICIANT: Two persons present now come to be joined.
Rose and Manfred...
She's really doing it.
...let him speak now, or forever hold his peace.
And we're clear.
Yep, that ought to do it.
Thanks, Freddie.

I love you all.

Oh, right. Ice.
Water in a useful form.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Everybody all right?
Charlie?
Rose?
What a nice surprise.
(smooches)
Good. Good. Good.
You look great.
Oh, thank you. Married life agrees with me.
Oh, that's right. Congratulations.
So where are you living now?
Uh, Manny and I moved into my beach house.
Oh, so we'll be neighbors again.
I'll have to come by and meet him sometime.
I don't think that's a good idea.
The old boyfriend meeting the new husband.
It's a little awkward.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I've never been that popular with husbands.
Or fathers.
Or boyfriends. Sons.
Surly lesbian roommates.
(sighs) So, anyway, you're happy?
More than I ever dreamed possible.
You know what he said to me the other day?
Without me at his side, he might as well not exist.
Wow. That's a little gay, but all right.
What about you, Charlie?
Is there anyone special in your life?
No. Not really. I mean, there's gals with special skills,
but I got to pay extra.
You should find someone who loves you
the way Manny loves me.
The love is the same. It's just at an hourly rate.
Don't grow old alone, Charlie.
Right.
Bye.
What is it with women?
They go off and get married,
and all of a sudden seem a lot more beautiful.
Ah, no matter, MacTavich. We can grow old together.
After all, you're only 20.
But I doubt you're gonna see 21.

All right, let's do this.
Hi. I'm Jake Harper, and this is the Human Volcano.
We begin by drinking a warm can of Diet Coke.
That's not Coke, dude.
Yeah. My dad did the shopping.
Anyway, a warm diet cola product.
Ah.
And now I will swallow a Mentos.
Mentos.
(gags, sighs)
Now I will lay on the floor.
Goggles.
Right. Safety first.
You feel anything yet?
Oh, yeah. It's working.
If it starts coming out the back door,
pull your pants down and roll over.
Good thinking.
ALAN: Hey, what's going on?
Not a good time, Dad.
What are you doing on the floor?
(vomiting forcefully)
Whoa! Whoa!
Awesome!
(spluttering)
What the hell are you doing?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Yeah. We were just making a video. Hold on.
(retching)
Cool stunts.
Cool stunts?
In God's name, why?
Yeah.
We are ***.
Really?
However did you come up with that name?
Well, we were thinking "What's better than ***?"
That's kind of a rhetorical question.
No. It wasn't that hard.
It came down to a choice
between *** and The Asskateers.
I think you made the right call.
Really?
Oh, yes. I applaud your decision.
The plan is, we shoot a bunch of cool stunts,
post them online, and then sell advertising.
Who on earth would advertise on that?
Well, right off the bat, we figure Coke and Mentos.
It's a product placement bonanza.
Come on, let's go upload our premiere episode.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What about this mess?
(sighs)
Damn it.
I'm gonna be taking care of that kid till I'm 90.
Please, God, don't make me live that long.
You'll never guess who I ran into at the supermarket.
Rose.
Oh. She's back from her honeymoon?
Yep, and living down the beach with her new husband.
Ah, good for her.
Yeah, good for her.
You have to forget about her, Charlie.
I know.
That's why I got me some milk of amnesia.
Nice.
What are you doing down there?
Wiping up cola vomit my son spewed in my face.
Oh, great. The Human Volcano worked.
You knew about this?
It was my idea.
You're kidding.
Yeah. It'll make
a great first episode of The Asskateers.
Actually, I think they went with ***.
Oh, damn. I already had a bunch of t-shirts made up.
What can I say?
Well, still, you got to like that your son's got
a little entrepreneurial spirit.
Thanks for showing me the bright side.
No problem.

You're spying on Rose, aren't you?
It's not spying. It's...
Shut up and leave me alone.
You said you were going to forget her.
And you said you were going to move out after a few days.
Don't change the subject.
I'm just trying to get a glimpse of her husband.
Oh, that's really sad.
Sadder than throwing your back out trying to pleasure yourself?
I was doing yoga.
Then why were you wearing lipstick?
And again, don't change the subject.
I am simply curious to see what kind of guy Rose would marry.
Oh, well, if that's the case,
why don't you just go over there, knock on the door,
and shake the man's hand?
What would I tell him? "Hi. I'm Charlie Harper.
Your wife used to stalk me"?
I might leave that part out.
And besides, I'm sure he already knows about you.
How would he know about me?
Well, it's possible she told him,
or perhaps he noticed the tattoo
of your face on her left butt cheek.
Yeah, I kind of wish she hadn't done that.
After she takes a hot bath,
I start looking like Edward James Olmos.
Just go over, introduce yourself
and welcome him to the neighborhood.
Yeah, I guess you're right.

No, no. This is a bad idea. Please go.
But I thought we could open a bottle of wine
and all get to know each other.
Listen to me, Charlie.
I love my husband.
I'm building a new life with him and I won't let you ruin it.
How could I ruin it?
Well, he doesn't even know you exist,
and I plan on keeping it that way.
How is that possible? What about the tattoo?
I added glasses to it and told him it was Harry Potter.
Now, please get out of here.
Okay, fine.
I'm sorry.
Just so I'm clear, you and I, we're...?

He said, "dicker."

I never met him. Rose told me to get lost.
Wow. That's got to sting a bit.
Yeah, but I understand.
She's happy now, and doesn't want me screwing it up.
You still love her, don't you?
I guess I do.
Funny how these things turn out, isn't it?
I mean, eight, nine years ago,
she was just a crazy one-night stand
who ended up stalking you.
All you wanted to do was get rid of her.
But the years go by,
and stalking turns to friendship.
Friendship turns to love.
But it's too late.
She marries another man, and she's lost to you forever.
Boy, that would make a great movie, wouldn't it?
Yeah, great.
