American Wedding (2003): The Weirdest Proposal Ever | Full Scene

Michelle, we did it. Happy graduation. You know, living at my parents' house, that's a temporary thing. We've been going out for, what, three years? You're not, like, getting bored of things, are you? Michelle, I'm going to ask you something that I've never asked you before. Is it kinky? I don't think so. No. You don't have to be embarrassed if you want to add more spiciness to our relationship. Actually, maybe you could just, you know, use your napkin. My napkin? Mr. Lovenstein? Yes, you have a phone call. Thank you. Hello? Jim, it's Dad. You left the ring at home. The box is empty, but I'm on my way, and I've got the... I've got the ring, so don't panic, son, okay? Bye-bye. Who was that? Uh, that was my dad. That was, uh, my dad. That was, uh, he couldn't get through on it. I didn't answer my cell, so he was, uh, getting all, uh, he was getting all worried. You know how he is, but everything is, uh, everything is okay now. Everything, everything is, uh, everything is perfectly fine. I think I know what you're going to ask me. That's okay. I don't have to use my napkin. Huh? I've got my own techniques. Michelle, where are you going? Michelle? Hey. Hey. Okay. Oh, no. Michelle. Okay. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Michelle. Psst. Michelle, I think you need to stop. Okay, keep going. Oh, my God. Michelle. Oh, my God. Okay. Well, I made it. Where's Michelle? The washroom? You know, I was so nervous she was going to spot me. Here's the ring, son. Oh. Let me tell you something. This is some ring. Look at the rock on this baby, Mr. Big Spender. Hope you didn't blow your wand on this, son. Not yet. Your mother and I could not be more thrilled for you, Jim. I mean, we're so happy, and I know you're excited. I can see it in your face. I mean, you look like you're ready to burst. Uh-huh. I mean, your cheeks, they're flush. I wish your mother could be here. Me? That's what I wish. You know, this is one of those moments, Jim, that you're going to remember for the rest of your life. Yes, it is. You bet it is. I cannot believe my son is going to pop the question. What was that? How can I move it? What is this popping what? What question? You are, oh, you're a wreck. What? You need some air. Okay, walk me to my car. No, I'm not walking. Get some air. Listen to me. This is for your own good. Oh! Oh, my pants! Get your pants! I got the pants, Dad. I got the pants. I got the pants, Dad. Please, Dad. Get your pants. I got the pants. What are you doing? I got the pants, Dad. Everybody, please. Everybody, just come down here one second. Everybody, just quiet. Disgusting. Now, I came here to do something, and damn it, I'm going to do it. Michelle. Hello, dear. Michelle Annabeth Flaherty, I love you more than I could ever explain at this particular moment. Dad, the ring. Will you marry me? Yes. My son. I'm the happiest man in the world. We should all be so happy. Cheers, gentlemen. I'm impressed. Marriage is a binding, unifying, eternal, never-ending, permanent chaining together of two people. Jim, have you thought this through? Yes. Yes, Finch, thank you. I had actually been trying to figure it out for a while. You know, when is the right time? Is there a right time? And finally, I realized, duh, if you love the girl, marry her. Let's dance. Dance? No. No, you have to learn sometime. Come on. Don't laugh at me. I'm just glad that's not me. Finch, you don't think there's one girl you're destined to spend your entire life with? They're all for me, Kevin. Not, uh, not so bad, huh? All right. Let's do this. Sorry. Well, a wedding should be rather entertaining. Bro, that's it? There's no keg anywhere. Jim. Hey, John. Food and the drink are really bad. F for presentation. The good news for you was there. We're going to be ushers at the wedding. This is amazing. I don't recognize half the people in this place. At least they all brought gifts, though. Hello. Hello, I'm Mary Flaverty. Oh, hello. Please come in. We've been expecting you. How was your trip? Delightful. Who's excited about the wedding? Anxious might be more accurate. Oh, we've never met your son. You'll get to meet him. Well, Rudy and Sam would like to meet him, too. We had to bring them in for the car. They've been cooped up for hours. Oh, for heaven's sakes. You brought your sons? Our dogs. We never travel without them. Oh, my goodness. Well, honey, why don't you go get those critters out of the car and we'll start on some cocktails. Right, I'll get the dogs. There's one thing that'll make this wedding perfect. No stifling. That's one dick we are not inviting. Motion seconded. Motion carried. So, Finch, what are you going to do with that fancy NYU diploma? I'll frame it and I'll write my memoirs. You should come to law school, man. You know I could use the company. Kids, Michelle's parents are here. Come on, we're waiting. Oh, crumbs on the shirt. It's bad. It's fine. I'll change.
