Interior - Country Club - Dressing Room - Day (Day 2) - Scene 12 -

Stage Direction: A couple of hours have passed. Empty bottles of champagne litter the room. Honor is in her gown, looking beautiful with full hair and makeup. The makeup artist touches her up. The bridesmaids, all in their simple, elegant dresses and full hair and makeup, stand with Rory, around Honor, admiring her. The girls are still drinking champagne. Walker, the most drunk among them, swigs from a bottle. They are all very tipsy, except Rory. Everyone's happy, excited. Italo, the hair guy fusses with Honor;s hair. The girls mill about, putting on their shoes, checking their makeup, et cetera.

Honor nervously - OKay, so I don't look obese?"

Megan reassures her - "You look like a skeleton."

Walker giggling - "A beautiful, blushing skeleton."

Honor - "Whoa"

Rory senses something - "What?"

Honor now with panic - "All of a sudden, the idea of marriage seems totally archaic and insane. Legally binding one woman with one man until they die? It's perverse. Why on earth do people do this? Why am I doing this?"

Walker seeing it too - "Uh-oh. Freak-out"

Claude trying to center things - "You love Josh. Remember?"

Honor calms immediately - "Oh yeah. Josh. Okay Now totally normal. Okay. Freak-out over. I wonder if Josh is freaking out."

Megan helping - "We saw him before when we took a smoke break. He looked nervous."

Honor grinning - "Oh, adorable. hey, can somebody fix my sling-back for me? It feels messed up and I can't reach my own feet."

Walker always helpful in a tipsy way - " Certainly. She crouches drunkenly; still holding the champagne bottle Oh yes, the sling-back is not slung back properly. I think I can remedy this. If I just sling this back -- Champagne spills on the floor. Oops."

Stage Direction: Gasps as the near disaster is registered.

Honor very calm - "Did that get on my dress? Someone tell me if I need to freak-out."

Megan checking - "The Veuve did not get on the Vera."

Stage Direction: Giggles of relief.

Honor talking to Walker - "Oh my god. Get away from me, you lousy drunk."

Walker backing off - "Hey! That's offensive. I am a terrific drunk."

Honor reaching - "I need my designated dresser."

Rory bends down to fix it - "At your service"

Honor asks her - "Make sure it's secure, because I plan on dancing tonight."

Claude asks everyone - "Speaking of dancing, has anyone warned Rory about the quote-unquote dignitaries coming to this shindig? It's always the same culprits."

Rory questioningly - "I need warning?"

Alexandra ever helping - "The ambassador from Luxembourg is very handsy."

Megan continues - "No, the one you have to watch out for is that poet. What's his name?"

Walker asks - "The dude with the red face?"

Megan continues - "He just did some translation of the Bhagavad-Gita. ANyway, he acts like he's gay. but it's such a ruse. Total perv."

Rory notes - "Feet, red face, not gay, Bhagavad-Gita, perv. Got it."

Stage Direction: Sofia, the wedding planner, sticks her head in.

Sofia calls out - "I'm going to steal the bride to take a couple of pictures. Honor, honey, grab your veil. The rest of you -- three minute warning."

Rory finishing Honor's shoe - "You're dance-floor ready, Miss Jones."

Honor tells her - "Thank you, my dear. See you soon, everybody."

Sofia directing traffic - "Head that way, toward the sitting room. We don't want Josh to see you in your dress. It's bad luck."

Honor caught out - "Please. Like I care about things like that."

Stage Direction: Honor exits, followed by Sofia, Italo, and Charlie. Rory sits in a chair. The girls down final glasses of champagne and look into mirrors, hurriedly making last-minute adjustments.

Megan bitching - "I look like a drag queen."

Walker follows - "My hair is insane."

Alexandra not to be left out - I totally want your hair. My hair looks like Kathy Griffin's. Italo was punishing me."

Walker still coming on - "I'll tell you what I want. I want to hook up with someone tonight."

Alexandra explains - "Just remember that pinning guys in the corner and shoving your tongue down their throats can sometimes come off as desperate."

Walker honestly - "Duh. I am desperate. I swear, I might go home with the ambassador from Luxembourg."

Claude tries - "Oh c'mon, there'll be plenty of eligible bachelors there tonight."

Walker on the make - "Like who?"

Claude offers - "The groomsmen for starters."

Alexandra comments - "Tripp Wallison is looking good."

Megan puts in - "You always think he's looking good."

Alexandra defensively - "'Cause he always is. Anyway so do you."

Claude tells Rory - "Alexandra and Megan both have slept with Tripp."

Rory laughing - "Small world"

Alexandra with her two cents - "I'm with Liam. You can have Tripp."

Walker adds - "Tripp's too short. I'm over the whole Mia Farrow, Woody Allen thing."

Claude asks - "How about Josh's brother?"

Walker has a word for all of them - "Poor man's Josh. Really poor man's. He's the Josh they give out at the soup kitchen."

Alexandra totally unconscious - "There's always Logan."

Walker in drunken oblivion - "Been there, done that."

Rory looks up perplexed - "What?"

Claude very dramatically to Walker - "Shush!"

Walker still not knowing - "What, 'shush'? You should talk."

Claude explains - "Rory is Logan's girlfriend."

Walker giggling drunkenly - "Oops. Oh my god, you're Rory, Rory. I'm so retarded. Total brain fart. She turns to Rory Don't worry, this was before you started dating. This was back around Thanksgiving."

Rory now stunned - "Last Thanksgiving?"

Walker tries - "It meant nothing, believe me. Just two ships bumping uglies in the night. It was meaningless."

Megan tries to reassure - "Walker will have sex with anyone."

Walker agreeably - "I will."

Claude genuinely tries to tell Rory - "And I'm sure you know Logan and I dated. But that was ages ago, eons, back when he drove a Z3. And then we had a stupid one-night stand this December. But there's noting between us, I swear. We're just friends who drank too much spiked eggnog. ANd now he's met you, and I think you guys are so great together. Really."

Rory still stunned - "Thanks."

Alexandra tells Walker - "I sorry, I didn't know you had sex with Logan. I thought you two just messed around."

Walker explains - "No, you said you had just messed around with him. I said he and I hooked up. I meant hooked up, hooked up."

Stage Direction: Rory can't even absorb this: Alexandra, too?

Alexandra still talking to Walker - "I thought you meant hooked up. Liked messed around."

Megan to Alexandra - "How come you never told me you messed around with Logan? Why am I out of the loop?"

Alexandra defensively - "I'm with Liam. Officially, nothing happened. These shoes are killing me."

Walker tells her - "Just crunch up your toes a little. That's what I'm doing. Feels good."

Rory blankly asks Megan - "Did you hook up with Logan around Thanksgiving?"

Megan - "No way. Then I was in Biarritz."

Sofia pokes her head back in - "Okay, Ladies! Time to line up; the processional's about to start. Rory, you better go find you seat."

Stage Direction: The wedding planner exits. The girls grab their bouquets and give their last glances in the mirror.

Megan exits saying - "I look like RuPaul."

Editor Note: Scene 12 appears to continue for some length. The set-up infers that the scene does not last much longer.

Hey, look, if you stop screaming, you can have one of those caramel apples I showed you. They're delicious, but to get one, you're going to have to stop making the world's most annoying noise in five, four, three, two--"
