This gold-embossed wedding invitation says next weekend, Raphael. Where’s the consideration?
Alex
I have time!
West
Nora and I will be there, naturally. Thanks for sending an invite to Amber, too. My sister would be annoyed if you didn’t.
Rafe
Your family is my family, etc. and so forth.
James
Of course I will be there too. I’m merely pointing out the offensive lack of time to plan a proper bachelor party.
Alex
Oh, this is going to be good. Do you want to show up to your wedding presentable? Because if so, I’m sorry to say it’s not going to happen.
Rafe
We’re not going hard.
Alex
So no repeat of Ibiza seven years ago.
Rafe
No repeat of any Lost Weekend, no. This wedding is for publicity, and there will be journalists there. Everything has to be above board.
Alex
I hate journos.
James
Are speeches allowed?
West
Encouraged, surely.
Rafe
No. The guest list includes industry people. If you have to toast me, we’ll do it at the bachelor party, when there’s no one but us.
Alex
You mean roast, don’t you? If we have to roast you. And the answer is yes.
West
We’ll do it in Como. Cigars, poker and liquor. Whatever questionable entertainment I can find in Northern Italy on short notice.
Alex
We should race something. Boats? Horses? Motorbikes?
James
You’re so desperate to lose.
Alex
Very funny. Who’s the best man, Rafe?
Rafe
The wedding is for publicity.
Alex
It still matters. We’re already competing for who’ll be West’s.
Rafe
I’ll have three groomsmen, no best man.
James
That’s a cop-out.
West
How’s the new wife? Has she stabbed you in your sleep yet? Blink twice if you need help.
Rafe
I’m keeping my bedroom door locked. But she’s doing her damned best to be as annoying as she possibly can.
Alex
I hate to say it, but I like that for you.
James
Looking forward to meeting her.
