Boom! Mark: Dude, what were you doing out there? Neal: I set a pick.
Lily: Yeah, I just read in Cosmo that one of the keys to a healthy relationship is participating in your partner's passions.
Roxanne: Lil, Cosmo's for skanks.
Lily: No, no, it has interesting statistics, like couples with the most successful relationships have sex four or five times a week.
-Whitney: Five times a week?! -Lily: Yes.
Whitney: Who has time for that? Roxanne: Well, that is what happened in my marriage.
I mean, things got platonic.
We stopped having sex.
Well, stopped having sex.
He continued with other people.
Mark: It's not his fault.
He's a man.
Monogamy is not natural.
If the cavemen had been monogamous, there would be like six people.
Alex: Mark, you can't justify everything you do using cavemen.
Mark: Why not? The cavemen did it.
I'm just saying, once you're in a long-term relationship, you're not tapping that every night.
Lily: Oh, look, they're gonna do the cake.
Man: Some of the cupcakes are missing.
[ Crowd murmuring .]
Sarah: It was her.
Alex: Wow, you're on fire tonight.
What are you closing with blackface? Alex: Just got an e-mail from Mark.
Went home with the pregnant girl.
He said he wants to know if it counts as a threesome.
Aah! Your feet are freezing.
Whitney: Why aren't we having sex? Alex: 'Cause your hair's up and I ate pork.
Whitney: Okay.
I-I don't mean now.
I mean why aren't we having it more often? Wait, what do you mean, my hair is up? Alex: When your hair's up, you don't like to be touched.
Or talked to.
Whitney: When's the last time I wore my hair down? Alex: [ Inhales sharply .]
Uh, twoYears ago? Whitney: Okay.
Be serious.
It's just I don't think we're having sex enough.
I mean, why aren't we tapping this every night? Alex: Well, you can tap that whenever you want.
Whitney: This is serious, okay? This is a thing.
This happened to Roxanne.
This happened to my mother with all three of her husbands.
I don't want to end up like my mother.
She has seven parrots.
Alex: I thought she had seven therapists.

That's a new record.
Candy: [ Scoffs .]
It's one thing for him not to show up for your college graduation.
Whitney: Okay.
Mom, you told him the wrong time.
Candy: Well, it's not his fault that he is so selfish that he doesn't show up and support you the way that I do.
-Whitney: Right.
-Candy: He's not a bad guy.
Whitney: Mm-hmm.
Candy: He's just a horrible person, and he owes me a check.
But this is not about that.
This is about you.
[ Sighs .]
Why aren't you back there with him? Whitney: Oh, they won't let me because we're not married.
-Candy: Aha.
-Whitney: It's stupid.
Candy: I told you, you should get married.
Whitney: No, you told me to marry him because if he cheats on me, I'll get half his stuff.
Candy: It's the law.
I'm just trying to help.
-So sue me.
-Whitney: Dad already did.
Candy: Yeah, well, he showed up for that.
You know what? Maybe you shouldn't marry Alex.
That way, you don't have to be stuck with him for the rest of your life.
Whitney: But I -- I do want to be stuck with him.
That's that's exactly what I want.
Candy: Now you're not making any sense.
Nurse: Miss cummings? You can come see Alex now.
Whitney: Oh, my God, I am so sorry.
That was such a stupid idea.
-Alex: No, it wasn't.
-Whitney: Yes, it was.
You were in here, and I was stuck out there, and that scary nurse wouldn't let me back, and [Sighs.]
I realized thatI want to be stuck with you for The rest of my life.
So [ Clears throat .]
AlexWill you marry me? -Alex: No.

Whitney: [ Chuckles .]
I'm sorry.
I just I was worried that things were gonna fizzle or fade or I don't know.
I just I really want us to stay together.
Alex: I love you.
And I hate moving.
-Whitney: Oh.
-Alex: So This is the best part about being together for so long, is that, you know, you can wear hoodies and your hair up or down or I don't care.
And get off the floor.
What are you doing? Whitney: Oh.
