-Leave.
all right, blair, look, look.
-Stop. okay.
- need your help, all right?

-And since we're getting married
-For christmas now and this place
-Has been a little rundown -- and
-''ve been meaning to fix it up.
- just haven't got around to it.
-And you know marci, and i can
-Tell that she is not really keen
-On living here, so i was gonna
-Surprise her with some
-Renovations.
-But renovations cost a lot of
-Money.
-Then preston offered me a job to
-Come work for him, and the money
-Would be good.
-But i just don't understand how
- M gonna get all this done in
-The next three weeks!
-Oh, my god, uncle duck.

and have you told marci?
no.
oh, boy.
-Ohh.
-You gonna decorate that tree
-Before marci gets here?
-Nothing a chandler woman hates
-More than a naked christmas
-Tree.
uncle duck, what am i gonna
-Do?
well, first thing you're
-Gonna do is pull yourself
-Together and be happy, 'cause in
-Three weeks, you're gonna marry
-The girl of your dreams.
-And next, you're gonna call
-Preston.

mm-hmm. and you're gonna name
-Your price, 'cause if he wants
-You to work for him -- look, he
-Needs you.
-Trust me.
-And he will pay.
mm-hmm. nope.
- M calling it all off.
and after that, you're gonna
-Call marci and tell her you're
-Working for the cousin she
-Despises, loathes, and abhors.
-[[ [ sighs ]
but what the heck?
-While you're doing all of that,
-You're gonna get this place in

but you were standing in
-Front of it.
- couldn't see the whole thing.
-[[ [ scoffs ]

it's just like old times,
-Isn't it?

-As you are, myra.
you better stop it.

hold on, preston.
-There's one big issue that we
-Have not resolved yet.
-It seems to me that you're in a
-Bit of a lurch and you really
-Need my help.
mm.
it also seems to me that you
-Have a really big caseload that
-You're trying to dump on me.
-Now, with that being the case, i
-Think it's time that we talk
-Dollars.
-Now, i've done pro bono work in

-There isn't a firm in atlanta

ditch this display.
oh.
you're a go-getter, aren't
-You?
well, i think to think that i
-Am, yes.
i like that in a woman.
oh.
i like your ideas, too.
thank you. well --
but you realize that
-Advertising is a male-dominated
-Industry?
i do realize that.
in fact, the other agency
-That i'm considering is run by a
-Man.
oh.
he's good, but he's not a
-Woman.
oh.
i like to see women in
-Leadership roles, women who --
-Oh! -- don't have to answer to a

right on, sister.
-Yeah.
you're hired.
oh, well, thank you.
-Thank you so much.
how soon can you get started?
uh, right away, actually.
excellent.
-''ll have my attorneys draw up

-Weeks and --
well, when i said "right
-Away," i meant "right away after
-Christmas."

well, yes, i actually have to
-Leave for atlanta next week, and
-While i'm there, um, i'm getting
-Married.
oho! okay.
- was never one to get married,
-But congratulations.
-Best wishes.
-Blah, blah, blah.
-So, i guess we'll just set
-Everything up when you get back
-To new york.
or we could do it while i'm
-In atlanta.
-You know, e-mail, skype --
-Modern technology -- it's like
-Being there.
not really. mnh.
-But if we must.
-All right, i'll have the

-Formally accept his offer.
so?
and i ain't gonna lie --
-The money's good.
-[[ [ chuckles ]
and when i say "good," i mean
-"fantastic."
okay, so, what's the problem?
well, the problem is, it's
-Preston.
-Do you remember how he tricked
-Marci last year to -- to
-Represent clarion candy, knowing
-They were in hot water?
yeah.
yeah. and how he got my
-Client to drop the lawsuit
-Against him by using his little
-Henchmen to scare all the other
-Employees out of joining the
-Suit.
yeah. so what?
-He plays hardball.
it's not just that, duck --
-He tries to belittle people,
-Tries to make them feel
-Inferior.
no one can ever make you feel
-Inferior without your consent.
-Mm.
did you just make that up?
no.
who said it -- gandhi, mlk?
eleanor roosevelt.
-Yeah.
okay.
-Like i was saying, i just don't
-Think i can do it.
- don't know if i can bow down
-To another man like that.
mm, too much pride, huh?
- would always rather be happy
-Than dignified...
-"jane eyre," charlotte bronte.
okay.
-Like i saying, was i just don't
-Want to feel like a sellout, you

well, not for him -- forus.
-That's what a relationship is

-That loft.
-Oh, i'm so glad!

-You didn't sell the loft?
-So, this whole time, you've been
-Playing me?
that's not --
you never intended to move to
-My parents' house, did you?!
keep your voice down.
i'm not keeping my voice
-Down, marci!
that is not what i meant.
that is exactly what you
-Meant!
-And i'm glad we had this little
-Chat, because i don't want to be
-Married to a woman...
keep your voice --
-......that does not trust me,
-And let alone can't be trusted!
what in the world is going on
-In here?!
-You could hear both of you out
-In the sanctuary!

-The both of you need to calm
-Down.
hey, what's wrong?
oh, my goodness.
-The people are arriving.

mnh.
marci...
-You said, "i've always dreamed
-Of a man like blair -- actually,
-Blairisthe man i always
-Dreamed of."
-You said that just last night.
-And, blair, you said, "marci,
-''ve always loved you."
-You said that last year on
-Bended knee when you proposed to
-My daughter -- yes, you did, and
-You meant it.
-And now the two of you want to
-Sit here like simpletons and
-Pretend that those words and
-Those feelings don't matter.
-And why?
-Because both of you were willing
-To swallow your pride and work
-For people you detest to help
-Each other out.
-Now, did you go about it the
-Right way?
-No, you did not.
-But i see love written all over
-Those actions.
- see it. we all see it.
-Now, let me tell you something,
-All right?
-Life is short...
-And love is everything.
-It's not to be toyed with or
-Taken for granted.
-Why do you think you've taken so
-Long to get married?
-Because you wanted to be sure --
-You wanted to be sure that you
-Found the one.
-And now you're just gonna throw
-It away -- is that it?
-[[ [ sniffles ]
- feel like an idiot.
i do, too.
so, do you still want to get
-Married?
