-Who? -Look, her dad hates me, y'all. For real. -[Emily] Okay, not hates. -What? He just don't think I'm good enough to marry his perfect-ass daughter. -[Emily] Perfect da-- Who? Me? -[Marcus] Yes, you. Okay, listen, no. My dad's a little tough, yes. I mean, he is the dean of Emory Business School, so he's a little traditional. I literally don't understand what you're saying right now. This is Marcus we're talking about! I know. It's insane! How could anyone not, like, absolutely love you? You're the best. [Marcus] Her father holds all these things against me. Like, number one, you know, he looks down on me because I had a failed marriage before, right? Things don't work out. It is what it is. Number two, he treats me like I'm some regular construction worker. I own my own construction company. I'm my own boss. This doesn't seem justified. Yeah, but strike three, I'ma be honest. I did punch her brother in the face at her mama's birthday party. -Got it. -There's that. Well, my dad never got to meet Ron. Oh, no! Sorry, did he die? No. San Quentin's just so far. I got it. Wait, I got it. I got it. I freaking got it. -What? -Do it tonight. -[Kyla gasps] -Wait. Do what tonight? -Get married tonight! Here! -Get married! Tonight! Yes! Right! Tonight, you guys! Wait, why would we do that? [Ron] You said your family wouldn't approve. You'll be surrounded by friends that love and support you. -Yeah. [chuckles] -Friends! It's a wedding just for you guys.
