Hey, who's this with you? Oh, this is Rebecca. She's a reporter. Very famous. Did they, uh, mention that I haven't been tagged in 30 years 'cause they suck at this game? Extensively. Never been tagged. Just saying. I can't believe you would rather not invite your closest friends to your wedding than risk getting tagged. Hey, Bob, look, you're here, ain't you? Right? I knew you'd come. Cookie, the valet needs the keys. Hi, baby. Come here, honey. Come here. We didn't invite you. - Yeah. Sorry. - Uh, guys. This is Susan, my soon-to-be-bride. - Hi. Nice to meet you, Susan. - Hey. - Hi. - She'll explain why. It's just... I know it sounds really crazy. It's just, everyone on my mother's side have had May weddings, and I don't want my wedding ruined over... I swear, I don't wanna be that woman, but I do feel like that woman is kind of understandable in this situation. Don't make excuses, baby. You don't have to. Come on. Look, I already broke a fucking window. What are we gonna do here, guys?

- We got it. - Thank you. No way, I'm not signing this. You're officially re-not invited. How's that? Okay, then fine. I'll crash your fucking wedding, and I'll tag you as you try to kiss your bride. Hey, hey, hey- Look, Susan. You seem like a lovely person, and I'm sure this will all be fine. We just need to formalize it, something we've been doing a long time and, uh...

- All right. - So good to see you, Bob. You know what? Don't touch me when we're on a truce. It's very patronizing. Yeah, it's a little weird for me, too. Well, it was really nice meeting everyone, and I look forward to getting to know you guys better this weekend and just... I don't know. I've just dreamt about this day my whole life, so... - Congrats, Susan. We're happy for you. - It's gonna be great. Thank you. It's really good to see you, boys.

- To Jerry. - Wait. Oh! So, boys, how did it go? - Not good. - So bad. So, so bad. Did you guys just sign away your chance to tag him? Yeah, but we're still okay because non-wedding times are fair game. We just gotta find the right window. - What happened? - He kicked our ass. - Well, technically, he punched my ass. - Punched your ass. - Repeatedly. - Hard. Well, according to the bylaws, that is highly illegal. Except he didn't hit my asshole, -so it's legal. - It's legal. Okay, what are you talking about? Here. Page... Yes! Right there.

Fair question, Rebecca. Beep. I'll take this. Tag is more than a game. It's a way of life. No, buddy. That's exactly right. You nailed it. Facial disgracial. Okay, Lou, thank you. We'll take it from here. Uh... But he's exactly right. It's so much more than a game. Say I'm LeVar Burton. Say I'm LeVar Burton. I was there when Sable lost his virginity.
