["Good" playing]
Come on, Friday.
You have Friday's food, right?
- Enough for three nights?
- Yes.
- And his chew toys?
- Yes.
- And his ear drops?
- Yes.
And you have his little blanket?
- Yep.
- The blue one, not the red one.
- That one's covered in piss.
- Yeah, I know.
Come on, bud.
It was good living with you ♪
It was good… ♪
Oh, shit. I forgot my
Wallet?
Every day.
[John] What would I ever do without you?
[elevator bell dings]
Come on, walk with me.
- John…
- No, I'm very tall.
- They won't even see you.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, well, so am I.
Come on, you know the drill.
You go first, and I follow behind.
- Smile pretty for the cameras.
- [chuckles]
All right. Come on, Friday.
Searching for signs of life
But there's nobody home… ♪
Come on.
John! John, John!
- John!
- [camera shutters clicking]
- Smile!
- This is Friday.
[John] Hi.
I'm not too proud to say ♪
Aha, it was good living with you
Aha, it was good ♪
Ah-ah-ah ♪
Aha, it was good living with you ♪
Aha, it was good ♪
Ah-ah-ah ♪
[song ends]
I'm calling Page Six
and demanding a retraction.
I mean, how hard is it to spell Carolyn?
- You're on Page Six again?
- Oh, no.
- Carole Bessette was in Page Six again.
- [Gordon] Mmm.
Apparently she was seen canoodling
with John at Bubby's.
And last time they called you Caroline.
It's shoddy journalism.
I'd rather they misspelled my name.
The less interested in us they are,
the better.
Yeah, well, they never got Diana's name
right when she was first dating Charles,
and now she's the most popular royal.
You're going to be
the American people's princess.
Which would make us
your ladies-in-waiting.
Uh, you two are demented.
[both chuckle]
I want to keep all that noise out
for as long as possible.
We're in a really good place.
- A good place?
- Mmm.
Honey, you share a home and a dog.
It's basically like common law marriage.
Yeah, you ready to churn out
six patriotic kids that all love boats?
We haven't talked about
any of that stuff yet.
[Narciso chuckles]
But I've never been this happy.
- Mmm.
- Aw.
I'm going to Hyannis Port this weekend
to meet the rest of his family.
Get out.
- Shut up!
- [chuckles]
Carolyn.
- He's ready.
- Yeah.
- [Narciso chuckles]
- [Gordon] Mmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Oh. Looks like our princess
is turning back into Cinderella.
[pen clatters]
[Calvin] Could you please remind Cassandra
that any of our colorful inventory
should be tucked away
at the back of the store,
and if I so much as see a vodka cranberry…
I'll call her this afternoon.
Where are we on the RSVPs?
Great.
My call sheet is riddled with unhinged
publicists angling for invites, so…
Are we expecting your boyfriend?
I'm not sure.
He's slammed right now
with the George launch, so…
Oh, I'm sure you can
pull him away for a night.
Plus he owes me one.
For?
Well, for introducing you.
[scoffs]
If it weren't for me, you'd probably still
be sneaking around with Michael Bergin.
[Berman chuckles, stutters]
It's a fucking mess.
We've got over 150 pages of ads
and no fucking content
to put in between them.
Hey, John, this isn't the bar exam,
all right? You don't get three tries.
We get one shot to launch this magazine.
Okay, what the fuck is that smell?
Your dog took a dump by the copier.
Oh, shit. I'm sorry, Rosemarie.
I'll get it.
I'll do it.
I deal with all your other shit.
What a woman.
[kisses, blows]
Should we give Rosie a raise?
She really goes above and beyond.
You know, she's watching Friday
for the weekend
- even though she's a cat person?
- A raise?
We might not have a company in a month.
I don't think it's helpful
for you to be this stressed out.
Oh, yeah, well, I don't think
it's that helpful for you to be so lax.
Fuck you. I care as much as you do.
Good.
Then I need you to go
into beast mode until the launch.
Pull all-nighters, work weekends.
Starting right fucking now.
Great, I'm in. Sit down.
[sighs]
Just breathe, all right?
- [sighs]
- Relax.
Oh, God, that's good.
- Okay. Breathe, man.
- Okay. Okay. [Chuckles]
All right, now you gotta choose the cover.
Herb sent some options of Cindy.
I marked down my favorites.
Cool. I'll show them to Carolyn
and see what she thinks.
Oh. Good. I definitely want
your girlfriend's opinion.
- Cindy was her idea.
- [knocks on door]
Sorry I'm late.
Speak of the devil.
What's up, kitty cat?
If we don't leave soon,
we're gonna hit Friday traffic,
and at that point,
we might as well leave tomorrow.
- Hi.
- John.
Are you leaving?
- Well, I'm taking Carolyn to Hyannis Port.
- Mmm.
I'll be back Monday. Relax.
Rosemarie, he's very easy, loves the ball.
- Hi, sweet boy. Hi.
- [Friday pants]
Give him some chicken, he'll be fine.
Sorry, I… I assumed he told you.
- Of course he didn't.
- [scoffs]
But hey…
[chuckles, sighs]
Enjoy the trip. It's fun there.
Hope you brushed up on current politics.
[Tense music plays]
[engine revving]
- [brakes squeal]
- [engine stops]
This is amazing.
[Music ends]
- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
I just want this weekend to be perfect.
But my family's a lot.
No shit.
I mean, it can't be any worse
than Caroline and Ed's, right?
John, I swear to God, if there's
another birthday, I will fucking kill you.
No. No, it's just… it's…
There's gonna be a lot of people.
Well, I'm excited to meet Ethel.
[sighs] Don't call her Ethel.
Say, "Mrs. Kennedy."
Okay.
It's nothing personal.
Ethel is just kinda intense,
even more so now that my mom's gone.
Now she's the undisputed matriarch.
It's like she can smell fear, you know?
- Now I am worried. [Chuckles]
- No, don't be.
- You give a terrible pep talk.
- Mm-mmm.
You're gonna do great.
[Gentle music plays]
I can't believe you're here.
[guests chattering]
Hi.
- There's the golden boy.
- [groans]
Get off me.
Carolyn, this is my cousin Dave.
Carolyn, important question,
why are you slumming it with my cousin?
You know, he's not just a failed actor
but also a failed lawyer?
Yeah, don't listen to this bonehead.
You know, he wet the bed until he was ten?
[giggles]
Uh, heads up,
Ethel doesn't let couples sit together.
She says it prevents
the flow of conversation.
- Oh. Okay.
- She's gonna stay here with me.
Rules don't apply to Mr. Magazine.
- Is that the best you can do?
- [footsteps approaching]
John, will there be a swimsuit issue?
Couples don't sit together.
It's fine.
I can handle having dinner
five feet away from you. [Kisses]
Quandaries.
Yeah, so George. George.
The centerfold?
Hi, I'm Joe.
- Carolyn.
- This is Michael.
- Pleasure.
- He's here alone
- 'cause his wife hates him.
- Hilarious.
No. Our kids are sick,
so she's home taking care of them.
Why don't you get that sitter
you love so much to watch 'em?
Carolyn, come sit with us.
Katie.
Excuse me.
- This is Kara.
- Hi.
Carolyn.
[Ethel] Hello, everybody.
So, the bad news is
the chef butchered our bourbon brioche
bread pudding desserts spectacularly,
but the good news is now there's
a whole bunch of extra bourbon
- that needs to get drunk tonight.
- [chuckling]
Hopefully some of you are up to the task.
John, would you say grace, please?
Sure.
[clears throat]
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts
we are about to receive…
From thy bounty.
Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Amen.
- [Dave] Nice, John.
- Thank you.
- All right.
- [guests chattering]
My roommate from Wellesley
went into publicity
so she could meet a rich husband and quit.
- [chuckles]
- No. No, not me. I love working.
Well, I'd love working too if my job
was to look at hot, half naked men.
I choose their underwear.
They're like my Ken dolls.
Well, with one big difference.
[laughs]
Oh. Carolyn, tell Kara
what you told me earlier.
- Mmm. Mmm.
- About your dating philosophy?
Date 'em, train 'em, dump 'em.
- Oh my, God!
- Date 'em, train 'em, dump 'em.
- [laughs] I love that.
- Isn't it great?
- My
- It's amazing.
Excuse me, Carolyn. Are you cold, dear?
Yes, I'm looking at you. [Chuckles]
Are you… Are you cold?
No, Ethel.
Sorry. Mrs. Kennedy.
Oh. I'm just growing flushed just looking
at you with that thing on your shoulders.
[clears throat]
Well, I have to use the bathroom.
Excuse me.
[Vicki chuckles]
How convenient.
Right as Ethel's about to grill us.
Bobby, can you just
stay seated for now, please?
- Thank you.
- [Bobby] Okey do key.
[Ethel] And now for the real conversation.
A lot going on in this country,
and as always, I like
to know your thoughts. Everyone's.
Joe, do you think the US should lift
that trade embargo on Cuba?
Well, we risk alienating our Latin
American allies if we hold the line, but
Well, is it worth losing
that senate seat in Florida, John?
Well, at some point we have to
stand up for what's right,
regardless of short-term political costs.
Somebody get this guy a magazine.
[guests laugh]
So, on what terms
would you lift the embargo, Dave?
Oh.
Well, you start with political prisoners
and then you get Castro
to hand over the stolen oil.
Ah. Katie,
how do you get him to the table?
There's no recouping assets
without normalized relations.
What Kerry and McCain are doing
with Vietnam, it's a workable model.
Lifting the embargo…
- Open dialogue.
- [distorted chattering]
[Ethel] Carolyn, what do you think?
About what?
Well, Katie was just saying that Clinton
is looking into establishing
diplomatic relations with Vietnam.
Any political risks there?
[scoffs]
I thought we were talking about Cuba.
Oh. Well, it's all connected, dear.
You might want to read about it.
To Carolyn,
for facing this dinner table
for the first time.
- Hear! Hear! Yes.
- Cheers.
[Carolyn groans]
[groans] Ethel hates me.
And that shawl was final sale
and cost a week's pay.
And all I ate was corn.
- You did great.
- [groans]
Maybe next time just don't sit
so far away.
Ethel likes to give very easy questions
to people who are sat closest,
and then they get progressively harder
as she works her way down the table.
Seriously? Why didn't you tell me?
It's not that big of a deal.
It's just a dinner party game.
Didn't feel like a game.
Felt like a hazing.
Yeah, well, in this family,
they go hand in hand.
- Well, that's fucked up.
- [chuckles]
I love you.
Let's get you to bed, okay?
You'll feel better in the morning.
My bag's gone.
[sighs]
Ethel. She moved you to another room.
Because of Vietnam?
[chuckles] No. 'Cause she's old-fashioned.
- [grunts]
- I'm sorry. I'll get your bags.
No. No, no, no. Stay.
If I'm gonna win,
I have to play by her rules.
[both sigh]
Bye.
[door closes]
[seagulls calling]
[Katie]
She just completely crowds the net.
It's like trying to lob Shaquille O'Neal.
- I know, I won't be playing with her.
- [Ethel] Come on.
She just calls everything out.
Come on, girls, we're Kennedys.
We play hard.
- [Kara] But you saw her
- [Katie] That's what you saw
Morning.
Ah. Sleeping Beauty awakens.
[chuckles] I was just looking for John.
Oh. He's out dragging with the boys.
You know, they tow each other
behind a boat,
and you have to hold on to a rope
until you fall off.
It's definitely not safe.
What fun would that be?
[chuckles]
Could I trouble you for a coffee?
Coffee's served at breakfast,
which you didn't sign up for.
[Kara] Carolyn, what's your dating mantra?
Date 'em, train 'em, dump 'em?
Oh, my No, that was…
- That was just something my friend said.
- Take credit.
It's fabulous.
I'm gonna see if John's still afloat,
but I'll see you guys later.
Hi.
Thank you.
We can match.
Ooh. It fell. [Chuckles]
[children screaming, giggling]
- Give it up.
- [chattering]
- Tag. No tag backs. No tag backs.
- [giggling]
[Dave] Is it finally actually happening?
Did hell freeze over?
Screw you.
And yes.
Yeah, I think so.
[children laughing]
[Ethel] A lot of history there.
Oh. Are you well?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
I'm good.
Time will tell.
[footsteps departing]
Hey. Been looking for you.
- Is it time to head back?
- Yes.
But I was wondering, how would you feel
about making a little detour?
Okay.
[Gentle music plays]
[water splashes]
My mom used to love it here.
It was her sanctuary.
It's so peaceful.
[water lapping]
You know, the thing about fishing is
it's always so much better with a partner.
[chuckles] What?
I've been carrying this around with me,
waiting for the perfect moment.
But the problem is
so many moments with you feel perfect,
so I figured I had to just choose one.
So I'm doing that now,
here.
On this boat, on this day,
with these fish.
Carolyn Jeanne Bessette,
will you marry me?
[chuckles]
I love you.
I do want to be with you.
But there's…
There's a lot of big stuff
we have to talk about…
Before we can get married.
Like…
Like how our lives
really fit together, you know?
- Is that a no?
- No.
I just…
I think we need to have more of a…
More of a conversation…
So I can really mean it when I say yes,
which I think is what we both want.
So, if you said yes right now,
you wouldn't mean it?
I don't know.
[John clears throat]
It's way too soon to propose, John.
Mom and Dad only dated for a month
before they got engaged.
That's completely different.
- And you know Mom would be the first
- Mom would love Carolyn.
[sighs] It's just like you're taking
these big leaps before you're prepared.
Between Carolyn
and this whole magazine thing
I run a magazine.
It's not a "thing."
Take a look around. Ask my staff.
But do you know what you're doing?
Oh, my God, I can't win.
For years,
there's always been this pressure
for me to do something with my life.
I'm finally doing something with my life,
and you're worried
I haven't thought about it enough?
I have. And I trust myself, okay?
She said she has to think about it.
Wait, so you… you mean you
She can't say yes until we have a talk
about how our lives will fit together.
[chuckles]
What?
What's so funny?
Nothing. I just, uh…
I think I might be starting to like her.
Those are my chips.
I know. I want one.
[door opens]
I'm surprised you called.
["Whitewash" playing on speakers]
I got an agent.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
That's great.
It was…
Um, an MTV casting director called and
said that I was too famous for Road Rules.
[chuckles]
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
I got a girlfriend too.
Yeah, she does makeup.
And, um, she actually
reshaped my eyebrows.
Remember when I tweezed yours?
Yeah, I do.
And then there was nothing left.
- No, I swear they were cool.
- Mm-hmm.
[imitates swooshing noise]
- I'm happy for you.
- Thank you.
So how's Prince Charming?
There really… There was
nothing between us when we were…
We were hanging out.
He was seeing someone else.
I guess I was the only one
that saw the writing on the wall.
I'm sorry.
I should have reached out,
but then those pictures came out
and I felt like it was too late
to say something,
and then I just kind of…
It's okay.
But I am. I'm…
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
- You know, I am used to you going AWOL.
- [scoffs]
- But it's very good to see you.
- You too.
Well, if you'd let me be
a real friend one day, I would…
Welcome the opportunity.
I… [grunts]
- I-I don't think that's a good idea.
- Okay.
- Yeah, that's fair.
- Uh-huh.
Can I ask you a question?
You are the most guarded…
And elusive woman that I have ever met.
How are you able to date
the most famous man in America?
I know you, Carolyn.
[sighs]
He asked me to marry him.
I didn't say yes.
Well, that makes me feel a little better.
What do you mean?
Because if the most eligible bachelor
in all of America can't get you to commit,
who can?
I didn't say no.
I said I'd think about it.
How's that going?
He's fine.
He's focused on his magazine launch
and this huge press conference
with, like, every news outlet in America.
Okay.
From a man's perspective,
if it's not a yes, then it's a no.
But you tell yourself whatever you need.
[people laughing, on TV]
[chuckles]
[TV shuts off]
- Hey.
- We need to talk.
Talk about what?
You proposed to me.
Weeks ago.
Yeah, I know.
That moment's kind of burned in my brain.
You don't think it's weird
we haven't talked about it at all?
It's late. I've had a long day.
Every day is a long day.
I'm fine. Really.
You're not.
I know you're not. John…
Please.
Okay.
Just always had this crazy notion
that when I proposed to the woman I loved,
she would say yes.
And you said, "I don't know."
And I don't know what to do
with "I don't know."
I do know that I love you.
It's not a question of if I want
to spend the rest of my life with you.
It's a question of if
I'm cut out to be Mrs. JFK, Jr.
And I don't know if this
is hard for you to understand
because you've been famous
since you were born,
but this will radically change my life.
Listen, I promise you,
our personal lives
will be off-limits to the public.
Yeah, you can't promise that though.
You… You've never been married before.
You have no idea
how this will escalate… everything.
- I know how to handle the press.
- [scoffs]
I had to watch
my mom do it her whole life.
I'll teach you.
I'll show you.
You won't be alone.
I promise you,
I'll do everything in my power
to protect us, to protect you.
Just trust me.
[inhales deeply]
Can I try on the ring?
It's beautiful.
It was my mom's.
I'll wear it when it's just
the two of us alone, okay?
Wait, so you're still not sure?
We have a lot to discuss,
but I'm glad we're talking.
This is good.
Yeah, me too.
[sighs]
[people laughing, on TV]
[door opens]
[Kelly] Hello, Calvin.
Well, they told me that
you were going separately tonight.
I am. The galleys for my book
were mailed here by accident.
Send a messenger.
So that's why you're in a bad mood?
What makes you say that?
Well, I felt it the moment
I came off the elevator.
Your emotional state is like
the weather system in this place.
- Well, then, did you read it?
- Mm-hmm.
[scoffs]
Apparently, Carolyn's your protégé.
In fact, I'm barely even mentioned.
You're opening a flagship store
on Madison Avenue tonight.
Are you really that starved for attention?
- No, it's not about me.
- [scoffs]
If her personal life is going
to become a distraction,
- then she can't work here anymore.
- All due respect,
you're the last person
to be lecturing anyone on discretion.
No, Kelly, I'm not…
I'm not doing this with you.
You knew.
From the beginning, you knew
what you were signing up for.
I didn't know how hard it would be.
Do you remember how we used to be?
Ten years ago?
We were inseparable.
You wouldn't make a move without me.
Look at her.
Every woman on Earth is wondering
why she wouldn't say yes.
What more could she possibly want?
But she's smart. She's smarter than I was.
She knows if she marries him,
that will be her defining characteristic.
It will be like she never existed
before she met him.
If you could go back to the moment
that I proposed to you, would you say no?
Of course not.
Come with me tonight.
Hmm? Together,
side by side, one last time.
It's your night too.
Oh. It's never been my night.
Let's go. [Chuckles]
[Berman] Mazel tov.
You overshadowed your own magazine launch.
No, who gives a shit about George
when America's most eligible bachelor
might be engaged?
And I had to read about it
- in the fucking newspaper?
- Oh, my God.
John Kennedy, Jr. is just waiting around
for his no-name girlfriend
to decide whether to marry him.
Right when we need people
to buy into you now more than ever.
And what? You end up in the press
looking like a fucking chump?
- It's humiliating.
- You don't think I know that?
I don't know how this got leaked.
According to the Post,
it's one of kitty cat's friends
who says she's, uh…
what, uh, just "taking her sweet time"
and she's gonna, uh, "drag this thing out
just to make you sweat."
Carolyn had nothing to do with it.
She's as invested in George
as any of us. More so.
She practically put
the whole thing together.
I've slept in this office every night
for the past 40 days.
I have showered in the men's room sink.
I've been hospitalized twice with
irritable bowel syndrome due to stress.
I have begged, borrowed and stolen
nearly 175 pages of ads for us.
I have steered this ship
and wrangled you for the past 18 months.
Your girlfriend didn't put
this whole thing together, John. I did.
I am your partner, and you fucked me!
What do you want me to do?
[Carolyn] Shit.
[John] I know.
I really wanted you to come
to the George launch, but now…
[groans] No, I wouldn't have come anyway.
The focus should be on the magazine,
not our relationship.
Agreed.
Berman thinks I should issue a statement.
About what?
The proposal.
He thinks that it's all
the press is gonna wanna talk about,
so I should issue a statement
saying that I didn't propose.
[scoffs] Seriously?
Well, you're not going to do that.
[sighs]
Right?
The future of George hinges
on this press conference.
There are a lot of people who've worked
really hard for a lot of months.
They're counting on me.
I don't know what to do.
I don't wanna hurt you.
But you understand, right?
Sounds like you don't have a choice.
[keys jingle]
Are you leaving?
- Carolyn.
- Dog has to go out.
[reporter] It's standing room
only today in Federal Hall
as John F. Kennedy, Jr. prepares to unveil
his highly anticipated
political magazine George.
No stranger to media attention,
Kennedy recently generated
a slew of headlines
regarding his alleged proposal to
Calvin Klein publicist, Carolyn Bessette,
a proposal that,
according to reports, went unanswered.
But Kennedy's office
set the record straight, saying,
"The stories regarding an engagement"
between John F. Kennedy, Jr.
And his girlfriend are false.
"John is not engaged, and he
did not propose to Carolyn Bessette."
Kennedy's team chalked the rumors up
to a slow news day.
All right, we are getting word
that Kennedy is taking the stage.
Let's cut to our feed from Federal Hall.
[Berman] Without further ado, here he is,
my friend, John Kennedy, Jr.
[John] Hi. Thank you.
- Ladies and gentlemen, meet George.
- [camera shutters clicking]
[crowd clamoring]
All right, the answers to the most
frequently asked personal questions
are as follows: Yes. No.
We're merely good friends.
None of your business.
Honestly, she's my cousin
from Rhode Island.
I've worn both.
And maybe someday, but not in New Jersey.
Thank you.
[Berman] I think this is a good time
for questions. Uh, any
Carolyn.
Hey. Honey.
[sighs]
Apparently, it was the most widely covered
magazine launch in history.
At the after party,
Berman was mobbed by advertisers.
It was like his version of an orgy.
[chuckles] That's funny.
I know you're unhappy.
Can we talk?
About what?
Sounds like everything went great
with you and Berman.
Carolyn, stop.
Carolyn. Come on, stop.
Carolyn, come on.
Do not grab me.
What am I supposed to do?
You're running away from me.
Carolyn.
So when you wanna talk,
I'm supposed to just
drop everything and listen,
but when I wanna talk,
I have to chase you through a park?
I just need space. Jesus.
You know what I think?
I think you can't handle a partner who's
emotionally mature enough to talk to you,
because what you really need
is an excuse to escape.
You don't know what I need.
Actually, I do. You need control.
You need to be the one who abandons.
It's obvious and, quite frankly, lame.
You wanna talk abandoning?
You looked me in the eye and promised me
you would do everything in your power
to keep our private life out of the press.
And then at the first chance,
you turn around
and make a public statement
about our private life to the press.
And it wasn't even true.
How can I trust you?
- You said it was okay.
- [camera shutters clicking]
No, I said it sounds like
you don't have a choice.
But you hear what you wanna hear.
- Berman said that we have to
- Oh, really?
Berman made you do it?
You made me do it.
None of this would have happened
if you just accepted my proposal
in the first place
like a normal fucking person.
I'm sorry I needed time to think about
a proposal that came out of nowhere.
It came out of love!
But you know what? I take it back.
No, John…
If it's too hard
of a decision for you to make?
- Let me relieve you of the burden.
- John.
- Give it. Give me the… Give it.
- Ow! John, stop it! No!
- [grunts] John, stay. Stay.
- [grunts]
Fuck is the matter with you?
- Just…
- [grunts]
[panting]
Do you know how lucky you are?
You should be grateful.
Why?
'Cause everyone in the world
wants to marry you?
No, because you're a crazy,
complicated person and a pain in the ass
and I still love you.
And you're easy?
You pretend to be
some humble man of the people,
but you're a spoiled brat
obsessed with his own image.
That's why you had no choice
but to deny the engagement.
You weren't worried about George.
You didn't suddenly give a shit
what Berman wants.
No, you had to deny the engagement
because you couldn't handle the world
knowing there was a woman on planet Earth
who might not wanna marry you.
Who's looking for
the escape hatch now, huh?
Talk to me, fucking pussy.
- What? Are you scared of me, huh?
- You're the one who's scared.
You're terrified of committing
to this relationship.
I may act impulsively,
but at least when I'm in, I'm all in.
Are you even capable of that?
Do you even know what you want?
Friday.
What happens if
I don't fit into your life?
It'll be a disaster for you,
and everyone will blame me.
I don't ever wanna get divorced.
Well, neither do I.
I saw what it did to my mom,
and I promised myself I'd be…
I'd be really sure
before I married someone.
You can't eliminate risk entirely.
All people are risky.
Can I have my ring back?
Why can't we just love each other?
Why does it have to be so hard?
[Carolyn] Come on, let's go.
You can't just sit here
on the curb and cry.
- People are looking.
- I don't care.
You have to move.
You already got my ring.
You're not getting my dog too.
He's our dog.
He's our dog.
Why didn't you tell me
about breakfast sign-up?
At Hyannis?
I wanted to let you sleep.
I didn't think you'd wanna
make breakfast at 7:30 with Ethel.
Was I wrong?
No.
I don't think I can do
organized family activities.
You don't have to.
I don't wanna change you.
I don't wanna bring you into my world.
I want you to pull me out of it.
I want you to be my family.
You and me.
On our own private island,
even when we're in a crowded room.
I want a simple life.
I won't have that if I'm with someone
who wants to be president.
Carolyn, I can barely run George.
You can be coy with the press
all you want,
but if I'm gonna marry you,
I want the truth.
Let's not ignore the reality
of who you are…
And who your family is.
Do you think you might
want to be president one day?
No.
I don't want that.
I don't wanna be a great man.
I just wanna be a good man.
A good partner.
To you.
I love that you don't feel the need
to please me
- or anybody else.
- [chuckles]
I even love that you didn't say yes
when I proposed.
It was weird.
- I think I talked about fish.
- [scoffs]
Fishing partners.
[chuckles]
I thought that you didn't say yes
because you were waiting
for a more eloquent proposal.
No, I liked what you said.
- Really?
- Yeah.
You know, I never…
I never thought about…
A proposal or…
Or being someone's wife.
I never imagined…
Getting engaged or growing old together.
So when you asked me, I…
I had to ask myself, "Do I want this?"
And be honest,
I don't think marriage is necessary.
But I'm down to do it with you.
Oh, my God.
[crying]
Yes.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
["Name" plays]
Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes, I'll marry you, and I'll…
I'll take the risk with you.
And we can drive each other crazy…
For as long as we both shall live. Yes.
Yes, yes.
And even though
The moment passed me by ♪
I still can't turn away ♪
'Cause all the dreams
You never thought you'd lose ♪
Get tossed along the way ♪
And letters
That you never meant to send ♪
Get lost or thrown away ♪
And now we're grown-up orphans
That never knew their names ♪
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame ♪
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while ♪
And I won't tell no one your name ♪
And I won't tell 'em your name ♪
