I'm here for mom. You're gonna take care of her.
Not by myself, I'm not.
I'm going to finally be a full partner in this marriage, Margene,
and I expect my voice to be heard.
Rhonda: You said you had the money.
Tell him if he doesn't pay up now,
he'll have to pay us double later.
Verlan: I've got him where I want him.
Albert Grant spoke about abolishing you too.
Abolishing me?
Said you may not be around much longer.
Cara Lynn: Why won't you talk to me?
I'm falling in love with you.
The church rarely goes out on a limb like this.
They're retaliating because we didn't give in.
It gives every zealot in Salt Lake City
the license to stab you in the back,
and I'm talking literally.
I didn't tell you that I was seeing someone at B.Y.U.
I thought we were okay.
Heather: I'm really sorry, Ben.
Bill: I'm asking why you didn't take sacrament in church today.
I am experimenting with my actions and my thoughts
and I can't have you judging me for it.
For the first time in our marriage,
I'm worried... About us.

- Tag, you're it. - No, I'm not.
I wasn't ready.
- Tag-back. - Oh, that's not fair.
Nicki: Boys, pick those up.
Ben, grab a piece of that molasses pie and take it to Dean.
Dean? We're on a first-name basis
with a man who sits in a car and guards our house.
And while you're at it, wake him up.
How was church?
Good. Good turnout.
There was the first baby blessing.
( Nell fussing )
I love the principle. I was an only child,
and I love that my children get to grow up
with so many brothers and sisters
and all of the love and support of one mother
and another mother and another mother.
I don't see any children at your so-called children's rally.
I see you.
Nicki, I don't choose what the news people show.
They show what they want to show.
Those banners and t-shirts turned it into
one big advertisement for your sour juice company.
It's called getting a sponsor, Nicki. It happens all the time.
I was tacky. And don't think Bill's not plenty upset over it.
- Hello, Bill. - I gotta run to the store.
There's a new wave of protestors swarming the lot.
That statement from the church really shook up the hive.
Hon, by the way, your front curtains were open last night.
I want them kept closed till all this passes.
- What's this? - Marriage license.
I put stickies where you need to sign.
We're good for wednesday. Justice of the peace will perform the ceremony.
Lee's all set with the adoption papers.
Do I sign it as Grant or Henrickson?
You can sign as either one, sweetheart. It's your choice.
But Barb would still be...
she remains Barb Henrickson unless she decides to change it.
There can be two Mrs. Henricksons.
I'm already living with three.
Bill, I know it's just a paper wedding
and we're not making a big fuss about it,
but I thought maybe I could get a new dress
for the ceremony,
nothing too expensive.
All right,
but we need to be sensitive to everyone.
The ink on the divorce is still fresh.
I don't want anyone to think we're rubbing their nose in it.
You mean Barb.
Of course. I understand, I do.
How are things between you two?
I mean you say everything's all right, but we've got eyes, Bill.
I know that.
I just finalized a divorce with a woman I love,
and we're moving forward slowly and carefully.
People at church were asking questions today...
"where's Barb?" It's embarrassing, Bill.
We're there and she's at home clipping coupons?
What's gonna happen if you two don't work things out?
I'll be sure to let you know if and when that happens.
Compromise on something, for crying out loud.
Greg: What are you doing in there?
I like the way that you smell.
Eh, my dad uses brut...
sort of a family thing.
I got this before my mission.
It's old
like me.
Not too old.
Where did you go on your mission?
( Speaks Estonian )
What was that?
Estonian.
I said, "I love the sound of your voice."
I told Nicki that I had a study group at the library.
We should stick to the ground rules...
actual study days only.
The ground rules suck...
stink. Sorry.
I want to see you more.
What if I went to that show with you tomorrow?
- You mean "les mis"? - Yeah.
With me and my mom? Uh, not a good idea.
No, I know that,
but what if I brought someone?
Like who?
Of course you should have a new dress.
In fact, I would like that wedding dress to be my gift to you...
your "something new."
Really? Thanks, Barb.
I want you to use my personal credit card.
It has a limit of $750.
Oh, I hate this stupid thing.
Mine fell out at the checkout at Albertsons,
and the bagger almost wet her pants.
Here.
This is so generous, Barb.
This means a great deal to me.
What if we did a reception?
It's three days away, Nicki.
A reception requires months of planning and...
and besides, I don't want the street gummed up
with hummers and dusty pickup trucks
or for word to get out
and be accused of manipulating marriage
like a game of three-card monte.
Just a few guests, nothing huge.
So you'd invite all your closest friends?
Some of us don't need mass approval.
Help me peel the tatoes.
- Have you asked Bill? - I wanted to ask you first.
Bill wants us to respect your feelings.
Of course I want to respect them too...
the stigma that divorce carries in the state,
the distance you and Bill must be feeling.
I think Barb wants us to peel potatoes. Focus on that.
What did Bill say to you exactly?
Your relationship with Bill is private.
So is mine.
But he is deeply concerned about the ability of the family
to move forward, if that's what you're asking.
And if he asks what you said, I would assume
I could I tell him you share the same concern.
Of course I do.
Honey, tell me you didn't walk home.
- You know the rules. - It's only six blocks.
Six blocks of opportunity for some crazy l.D.S. Nut
to make good on that fatwa against us.
Your mother's right, sweetheart. You should have called.
Okay, well, I will next time. Promise.
( Oven beeps )
You can call me.
( Quietly ) How's Gary?
I was studying.

Is my new blue suit upstairs?
I thought it was at Nicki's, but I can't find it.
It's for a meeting in the morning.
I don't know. I'll go check. ( Turns off music )
- Oh, it's fine. I can. - Is everything okay?
It's just the landlord about the store lease.
Did you speak to Marge
about her shilling Goji at the rally?
No, not yet. She's still so proud of the event,
I don't want to criticize her if I don't have to.
But I'll ask Stuart to check out Goji and Michael Sainte.
He's gonna do some poking around.
Did Nicki talk to you?
Yes. I guess it's fine
as long as we keep it small, right?
The dress?
No, the reception.
There's a reception now?
In this environment? How many people?
Just family and a few friends.
It's like when you and I got sealed.
I... I think we need to make it happen.
You're really okay with this?
Bill, wherever you and I stand,
Nicki deserves a special day.
I guess a reception's fine.
This is Adaleen Grant. Leave a message.
- ( Phone beeps ) - Mama, call me.
I have some very special news.
Don't make me worry about your safety
more than I already do.
And call me and at least let me know
he hasn't thrown you in that hole again.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
No. Who knows?
I've called four times and haven't gotten through.
Do you need something?
Maybe tomorrow isn't the best time,
but Mr. Ivey and his mom have two extra tickets to something.
To what?
A play.
What kind of play?
It's a comedy with music downtown.
But what is it about?
It's about poor people fighting the government in France.
And there's singing?
Mom, it's a musical.
And Mr. Ivey is being very generous,
and I've never been to a show like this.
But did he ask me to come?
Yeah.
Then we'll go. I'd love to.
There is no meeting, Bill. Alby bought the building.
- ( Phone ringing ) - The fax came in this morning. He's our new landlord.
The a.C. Breaks down... we call Alby. Water damage... we go to Alby.
We get a gas leak... we'll be a smoldering heap before he gets a guy up here.
And we stood 3' from that smirking rat
while his lawyers were probably already closing the deal.
Female voice: We're sorry. The number you have called
is not in service at this time.
What's going on? No one at UEB Answers
or I keep getting busy signals.
Bill, he has the assets of the UEB
He has access to $300 million.
He'll chase us all over the wasatch front.
We go to the UEB It meets tomorrow.
Alby's misappropriating funds.
You're fighting on the wrong battlefield.
You can't appeal to the UEB
These are the men who blindly followed Roman,
who blindly follow Alby. They're lemmings.
- But he is clearly insane. - Face reality, Bill.
There's a church-inspired boycott.
Thousands of devout mormons are shunning our stores like a leper colony.
We need to cash out while we still can.
I'm not cashing out.
We are not retreating an inch, don.
The UEB Has the power to stop him,
so we go to the UEB
Female voice: We're sorry. The number you have called
is not in service at this time.

Every one of these little circles...
Frank: They just give you two wet naps.
What am I gonna do with two wet naps?
Man on tv: ...Weeks, months, years.
And eventually it ends up on my show.
Now the u.K. Spends around $240 million a year
cleaning the gunk from the streets.
It doesn't disappear by itself.
- ( Loud thud, cat screeching ) - ( Frank groans )
It could take up to five years...
Lois.
( Groaning ) Lois.
Call an ambulance.
You gotta call an ambulance.
I can't get up.
Lois.
Lois!
A water-soluble...
Lois!
In the United States it was developed...
How's it going so far?
Nicki: Oh, just a second.
First impressions?
Marge, it's white.
( Whispers ) It's white.
Do you need a hand?
Do I look all right?
Say something.
Wow.
Really?
Wow, that's the one.
Isn't mama Nicki beautiful?
Barb has to see this. Don't change.
So how's it down in cougar town?
I love B.Y.U.
I solved that thing with my dormmate.
She puts it on every day now. Smells a lot better.
Good. Well, you did her a favor.
No one wants to date a smelly flower.
How's your missionary doing?
That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about, bishop.
I don't know what to do,
and I've already prayed about it.
I just...
I really like him,
and we write, like, twice a week.
But you've met another boy.
I never expected to get serious
about this boy or his family.
Heather, this is a common dilemma
for young women to face
when their missionaries are away... staying true.
They're polygamists.
Sister Tuttle,
you and I both know what you believe,
what our church believes about polygamy.
His parents are polygamists,
but he's still trying to figure out what he is.
And I want to help him.
But something happened.
I overheard it,
and there's no one
for me to talk to about it, not even him.
They're a good family, bishop.
They don't deserve to be singled out
or shunned by the entire city.
Perhaps you'd feel better if you unburdened yourself.

She's been so good since you've started coming by.
I think she knows there's a man in the house again.
Aren't you freezing?
( Turns off music )
I can bring some bigger blankets.
You're really nice to me, Ben.
Who lives here with you?
Crystal
and her friend Jeff.
You need some adult food.
It's not that bad.
The carrots are good.
You need food. Where's your husband?
He should be taking care of you.
He is.
He'll be back soon.
And when we have our house in Henderson
he's going to build me a recording studio in the basement.
He's going to be my manager.
Bill just called. He's a block away. What's going on?
- We lost home plus. - What do you mean?
- They bought the building, not the store. - Who did? The church?
No, Alby. Alby owns home plus now.
- He owns the property. - Oh, Barb, what's the difference?
- Wait, both stores? - I don't know.
This is crazy. We can't lose home plus.
Home plus is Bill. Bill is home plus.
- Home plus is us. - ( Door opens and closes )
Bill, I've been trying to call anyone on juniper creek
and just get disconnected numbers.
Are you closing the stores?
We should burn it down, collect the insurance and give him ashes.
We're not committing arson. Can you at least get through to your mother?
No, I tried her. Evie said the place is on lockdown.
All right, he's finally made his move
and overplayed his hand. There are ways to beat him.
Well, like what? What can you do?
I'm going down there to see. But it's just one store.
So if we have to move every nail and screw
by wheelbarrow into another building
and leave him holding the mortgage
on an empty warehouse... fine by me.
I want to talk about something else much more important.
I want to talk about us.
We're having a wedding this week
and, well, I want it to be
more than just a swapping of signatures on a piece of paper.
Ceremonies are important for the lift of a family,
and this wedding gives us the opportunity
to recommit to our eternal marriage.
Okay, what are you proposing?
A resealing... all of us...
at the wedding, a recommitment,
a reminder that despite our differences,
we can come together to reaffirm our unbreakable Bonds.
Sorry, no way.
Nicki, I understand you want a special day,
but we need to think of everyone.
All I do is think of everyone.
Barb had a special day all to herself. I want one too.
A resealing isn't going to make your day any less special.
In fact it's gonna make it more special.
Oh, baloney.
Fine.
So we won't do it at the wedding.
We'll do the wedding Wednesday
and the resealing this weekend.
I vote yes.
I mean if it'll bring us together... yes, absolutely.
Barb?
I don't know.
What do you mean?
I mean I just don't know if I can go through
with a resealing on Wednesday or this weekend.
I thought this was a way to validate our oneness
without asking anyone to compromise their beliefs.
I appreciate that, I do,
but I don't think I can just get resealed
until we work out our issues, Bill.
And this doesn't have to be a big deal.
It really doesn't.
I'm gonna go salt the back patio.
I thought you'd want it.
I want it.
We need to find a new footing.
Bill, you and I are already sealed.
No matter what the church or my mother says,
I believe in that sealing.
We're dangling over an abyss, Barb.
I've been working on a way
for me to participate in the wedding.
There's something called the universal life church.
- The universal what? - Just listen.
It's... it's... it's online.
It's nondenominational.
Click a few boxes, wait five to seven business days,
and they send you a certificate... you're a minister.
So I thought I'd officiate the wedding.
You're joking.
Tell me you're joking.
We don't want any of this public, right?
I officiate... we do the wedding at Nicki's house.
Or we do the county clerk's office...
some nosy secretary recognizes us,
makes a call to channel 6.
I just hung a plaque outside a church
I worked hard to build and protect.
- I know. - No, you don't know.
A church means something. It stands for something.
This may be a pap wedding,
but you don't just go join a paper church.
Why would you do this anyway?
It wouldn't change one thing
about our disagreement over the priesthood.
It's not about that.
It's a statement of my investment
in this marriage and this family.
This is about me being there
with you and Nicki on a very special day.
You and I obviously have different views
on what would make it a special day.
Thanks for all the groceries, Ben.
This must be at least $100 worth of food.
Did you bring a can opener?
You don't have a can opener?
Don't worry. I'll grab one from work.
Lottie eats a lot of tuna.
I don't think you should work at that place, Rhonda.
I think you can do a lot better.
I'm a good singer and I'm a good dancer.
And I know it. And I like doing it.
But it's not a nice place. It's really skeezy.
What kind of future is that?
Look, I only work places with a 3' rule.
I don't let men touch me,
if that's what you're worried about.
I'm not a tramp.
And no one takes advantage of me.
Rhonda, we can't do what we did again.
I can still come by.
I can still bring you things,
but as a friend.
Are you okay with that?
Thanks for helping me.
You're welcome.
This is so exciting...
a musical with an intermission.
You look nice, mama.
Your teacher certainly has a crush.
What do you mean?
I'm not blind.
I see the way he glances at me
when I pick you up.
Maybe I should invite him to the wedding.
His head would probably explode.
I'm so sorry. Was parking a nightmare?
No, we found a spot
two blocks down at the sinclair station.
This is for you.
Thank you.
You made it.
Mama, this is Mr. Ivey's mom.
- Call me Denise. - Nicolette.
Nicolette, so nice to meet you.
And, Cara Lynn, you look so pretty tonight.
( Melodic bell rings )
I'm sorry to rush everyone.
We should find our seats, so...
Aren't you gonna take our coats?
Of course.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Nicolette.
Oh, and thank you
for recommending Cara Lynn for the summer math camp.
You know, we're having a get-together at our house
this Wednesday... friends and family.
You should come.
Bring a date or your mother.
Or a date.
Love you too, mom.
Uh, I'll see you inside.
( Melodic bell rings )
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Usher: Enjoy the show.

All right, let's go around and report our numbers for the week.
And don't feel bad if they're low.
Everyone has slumps. Let's start with you, Beth.
I moved 24 units and increased my downline by three.
- ( Applause ) - Excellent.
Minnie?
32 units and an increase of five.
Oh, this is wonderful.
Carl, hi. What's going on?
We're almost done here.
Pam, we talked about this.
Carl, please.
We're leaving now.
Pam?
I'll talk to you later, Margie.
( Whispers ) He can't make you go.
Kindly stay out of our business.
She can make her own choices, Carl.
Not when her choices involve putting us
thousands of dollars in the hole hoodwinking other idiots.
Well, maybe if you didn't boss her around so much...
- Marge. - She's quitting right now.
No, she's not. You put too much pressure on her.
She is a loving, sweet, capable woman.
- Butt out, Marge. - No, Carl, you butt out. Just butt out.
She's right. I am capable.
And you can't even find a job. Go find a job, Carl.
Bill: If Barb officiates, we can keep the wedding
in the family... no justice of the peace.
Why didn't she come to me first?
This sensitivity thing isn't a one-way street.
Might be a nice gesture if we let her.
Because it's the safe thing to do
or because it's the nice thing to do
for Barb
on our wedding day?
( Brakes squeal )
Woman: I've got the satellite dish.
( People chattering, laughing )
Boy: Throw it in.
Nicki: Something bad is happening.
He invested UEB Assets...
the tithes and fast offerings of all of your families...
into a vengeance scheme against me and my own.
He's put his own selfish interests
ahead of what's best for juniper creek.
You think you know what's best for juniper creek?
You've lured away nine of our sisters
and 14 of our precious children
to a den of winos and crack whores.
It's a shelter for the abused,
clearly defined at the safety net meetings you never attend.
You and your apostate wife have destroyed families
and led women to perdition.
We've given them access to healthcare, counselors to speak to.
We're breaking down the walls of isolation.
Heavenly father never meant for us to assimilate with the gentiles.
Look at e way the world treats you, Bill.
That's the life you want for your family?
Lura's thriving.
Your children are in a real school.
Get out.
He paid significantly over market price
for the property simply because I was the tenant.
You can still go back on the deal.
My attorney has the paperwork ready.
You can override Alby's signature.
Your wife tricked my daughter away...
away from her husband, her kids.
I didn't know that, rod. I sincerely hope
that they can work out their differences.
It comforts me, Bill Henrickson,
that you will burn in hell.
Alby's already led you there.
I saw the satellite dishes.
I saw the cell phones.
Something dark is happening here, mama.
Your brother had cell phones banished.
The children discovered something called "sexting."
He's cutting you off from the world.
Oh, the world's a terrible place.
No tv, no phones... the children study harder.
Everybody works harder.
The blessings will rain down upon us.
I'm doing his office.
Why are you here anyway?
Because I'm getting married.
You're already married.
Legally married, to Bill.
And I want you to be at the wedding, mama.
It'd mean more to me than any gift.
State marriages have no meaning to me.
Well, they mean something to me.
Don't you see where this is leading you?
I don't want to lose you.
Mama, look at me.
We're on separate paths, Nicolette.
( Static hissing )
- ( Door opens ) - Bill: Hello?
Mom. Mom.
Mom, turn that down.
Dad, what the heck happened?
I busted my hip.
Leave him alone. He'll be fine.
How long has he been lying here?
Since yesterday morning.
I got him a pillow.
No.
No no.
They'll take him away and they won't bring him back.
And they'll put me away somewhere.
- Bill, no. - This is crazy.
Yes, I need an ambulance right away.
Juniper creek.
I'm sorry.
Here.
Here we go. Here we go.
But I'll stay by your side
no matter what. No matter what.
Yes, hello. Yes, juniper creek.
Hi.
I prayed and I thought about it.
I want to be your girlfriend.
But you broke up with me.
I know. And I shouldn't have,
but I was... I was scared and confused.
And I care about you too much to go away.
So here I am, not going away.
What about your missionary?
I dear-Johnned him.
It's kind of cold out here. Can I come in?
- You want some cocoa? - Yeah.
Come on.
- Vanaema's kook. - What?
Vanaema's kook... grandmother's cake.
The jam goes on the crust and then you crumble some of that on top.
It's usually served with Estonian whipped cream.
I bought cool whip instead.
Get to work.
How'd your mom like the show?
She loved it. She thinks you're very cultured.
So do I.
Next time I think
we need to leave your mom out of the middle of things.
She thinks you have a crush on her.
Nicki's pretty sheltered.
Bill, Barb... they all are really, but they're nice.
Oh, they're not worldly like you?
Oh, is that it? You think I'm naive?
No.
I will be worldly someday
with you.
( P.A. Chatter )
Where's Bill?
What's this whole officiant business?
Why didn't you come to me first?
Um, hi Nicki. Is Frank okay?
He's in surgery.
He has a femoral fracture. They're putting a plate in.
He'll be fine.
Bill told me you want to marry us.
You are trying to control my wedding day, and I resent it.
I wish I didn't, Barb, but I do.
I am sincerely not trying to control anything.
I just want to be a part of the ceremony.
I want to give you to Bill and him to you.
I want to join you together,
just like Sarai giving hagar to Abram.
You... you are the reason we're here.
There's no one to take care of us
because there's no sisterwives,
because you called them and ran them all off.
Barb did the responsible thing.
She brought shame upon us.
Everyone knows about our v.D. Now.
No one remembers me
as Orville Henrickson's beautiful daughter.
I'll be remembered as "v. D. Lady"!
Lois, I'm terribly sorry you see things that way.
I'm glad my son divorced you.
- Lois! - Mom, you apologize.
- Honey, she didn't mean it. - Oh yes, I did.
Bill: Shame on you. That's enough.
Well, I see everyone's okay here.
Glad I checked in.
Have a seat. Come on, mom.
( Knocks on door, door opens )
Excuse me, Mr. president.
There are some people here to see you.
You see the coat, Lynn, the briefcase in my hand?
What do these things tell you?
Senator barn, do you have a few minutes?
Have a seat.
Thank you.
Woman on tv: In Ethiopia there's a phenomenon
called "green hunger."
Everything appears to be green and lush,
but people are actually starving.
They have absolutely no access to food.
Right now in many parts of the country
- the crops have failed. - ( Door opens )
Hey.
What're you watching?
Africa.
How's your dad?
Still in recovery.
Honey, I hate to be the bad guy here,
but I'm worried about you and this Goji business.
Did Carl talk to you?
Why would Carl talk to me?
Pam tried to quit today.
Well, Carl tried to get her to quit. He crashed our meeting.
I talked Pam into staying. He got mad.
Pam got mad at him. I know I shouldn't have stepped in the middle,
- but I'm really worried about them. - You're right.
You shouldn't have stepped in the middle. Their marriage is their business.
Carl may have gone about it the wrong way,
but I understand his concern.
Goji blast is a money pit.
In what way?
Sweetheart, it's a pyramid.
It's multilevel marketing.
I'm part of an international community in over 60 countries.
It's a structure that preys on people beneath you.
I did some digging on Michael Sainte and goji.
There's no proven benefits to that juice whatsoever.
Goji teaches faith
and builds schools and Bridges and clinics.
Honey, the amount of money goji actually gives to charity
is a pittance. It's all show.
We're given the tools to succeed.
And we pass those tools on to our downline.
And they pass them on to theirs.
It's like pay it forward.
I'll be upstairs.
You should meet Michael Sainte.
I have, on the hill.
Well, then you should give him a chance.
You understand you have to be near the top of the pyramid
to see any big profits? Where are you?
If you're asking what level I'm at,
I'm still at the building level, okay? I know that money's tight.
I'm only using what I put aside from hearts on a sleeve.
Sweetheart, you have more faith,
hope and charity in your little finger
than I've got in my entire body.
Heavenly father got all the pieces right when he made you.
But you open yourself up to people
who might take advantage of that, like Michael Sainte.
I'm not telling you what to do.
I just don't want to see you
get left holding the bag.
Mom.
I thought dad was coming to spell me.
Well, I told him I wanted to.
Thanks, Benny.
Me again.
I brought you some chicken broccoli casserole.
Put it there.
They won't let me see him till morning.
He's in the I.C.U. You should rest.
Why'd you come back?
What, you think I scare that easily?
( Phones ringing )
I hate hospitals.
The doctors think they may be able
to release him in 24 hours.
We actually found a nice place
for Frank to rehabilitate.
What do you mean, rehabilitate?
He needs some physical therapy,
help getting to the bathroom.
Lois, he needs professional care to convalesce.
I see.
I shudder to ask...
where will I be staying?
We know you don't want to stay with us,
and we understand.
Bill and I were gonna talk to you
about this together.
There are a few homes
very close to where we live and they're very nice.
It's like really having your own apartment.
Please, Lois, take a look.
And we... we can take you to visit Frank.
Visit? No.
It's just while he recovers.
Leave.
And the meals are made from scratch.
Lois!
Leave!
All right, all right, I am staying right here.
I know this is a disappointment.
So much in life is.
The only thing that we care about
is that you are well taken care of.
And whether you like or not, that's how we love you.
Step on it. We need those finished.
This is dumb.
Sorry, I couldn't find any yellow or purple,
- but this is mostly yellow. - Mostly.
Hey, Cara Lynn, why don't you take Wayne and Raymond upstairs?
- I'll finish those up. - All right, bedtime, guys.
The wedding's tomorrow. We don't have half the things done that we should.
I'll be up at 4:30 putting Crescent rolls in the oven.
You'd better let Bill get some sleep tonight.
He needs his energy tomorrow.
I've been thinking since yesterday
when Bill proposed the resealing,
and I think we should do it.
You and Barb are like vultures.
My wedding is not a corpse to be picked at.
Nicki, I know you want tomorrow to be your day.
I understand that. I respect that.
But this is a family, and this wedding
was supposed to be about growing as a family.
There are 364 other days in the year for us to grow.
I just think it'd be a nice time for us
to all recommit to each other no matter what.
I was only 16 when I was sealed to Bill.
And I'm gonna lie, I had no clue
what being sealed even meant back then.
I need a sealing that means something to me now, you know?
I see Pam and Carl.
I don't want us to get there.
If I consider what you're asking...
and that's just a really big if...
then I'm telling you right now
the only name going on that cake is mine.
( P.A. Chatter, phones ringing )
I'll be right behind you.
We'll be together forever.
Oh, come on, Frank. Come on now.
Oh, come on now. Come on.
Just... Frank, come on.
Lois, there you are.
- Lois, no! - ( All shouting )
- Nurse: I need a doctor! Security! - Frank!
- Man: All right, get her out of here. - What are you doing, Lois?
25%? You can't raise our rent 25%.
What do you think this is... a game?
25% is an interesting number, don't you think?
On top of the church boycott too...
must be tough.
Does it incite you to throw in the towel,
move to another location perhaps?
These are all interesting questions.
I suppose we'll see.
I will build a dam
against every drop of state money flowing your way...
no more food stamps, no more housing grants.
You and your legislations.
You have already threatened that.
You think I'm powerless? What would your flock do if they found out
their Shepherd had lain with another Shepherd?
I guess the real question is,
what kind of man are you?
We've got to take him out of the picture.
I don't want to do this, don, but we have got to see this through.
I am not engaging in a holy war.
This is between you and him...
a grudge between the Grants and the Henricksons,
not me.
What do you want out of life?
A chance to get it right.
A nice family.
A boat.
Ow. Ow. Argh! Ow.
Strip
and stay in your corner.
Slower.
You like this, don't you?
A little.
I mean, I know that they have the berries there.
- Yeah. - But they've never had the juice...
I just need you for, like, two minutes.
Margene, uh, yeah, of course.
Just... excuse me just a minute.
Can I get you some water?
No, I have to be at a wedding.
Just tell me quick...
is this worth it?
What's on your mind, Marge?
- I got into this to help people. - Mm-hmm.
I saw the kids in Guatemala,
the harelips, the charity,
and I wanted to do good works.
But my husband says that you prey on people like me,
that your business is blt on sand.
And my best friend tried to quit, and I talked her back into it.
- And now her marriage is doomed. - Wait, whoa whoa.
Slow down. It's okay.
Obviously your best friend has bigger issues in her marriage.
- That's not your fault. - I know.
And your husband doesn't sound terribly supportive.
No, he is. He... he really is.
He's just concerned. Should I be concerned?
Look, Marge,
some of our goji-go-getters...
they just sell the juice,
build their downlines.
They never absorb the deeper message.
We're sharing prosperity.
I believe that.
You get that, Marge.
You got that from day one.
As far as your husband goes,
you tell him that I have won three humanitarian awards
for my missionary work in Africa.
I've been vetted by "the Harvard business review,"
"the wall street journal."
I've rung the closing bell at the stock exchange.
You're on the right team.
Margene on tape: I was worried.
I was shy.
I was an only child. I was a bit in over my head.
Barb reassured me and brought me under her wing
and just made me feel so welcome and loved.
I couldn't have done it without her that first year.
If it wasn't for Barb,
I would have run away 10 times over.
I was so young and inexperienced.
Honey, we just want one minute.
We want to do the resealing.
We want to do it after the wedding.
You signed off on this?
It's important we're all together
for time and all eternity.
But I thought we already are.
I'm about to go into battle
and I want to be sealed to my wives
and have that sealing in a true church.
Nicki was sealed by a false prophet; Marge was 16;
And you and I were sealed...
By a church of hypocrites. I know.
So apparently
either I continue to believe in a sealing
that means nothing to you anymore,
or we get resealed in a church where I don't feel welcome.
Honey, of course you're welcome.
No, not really.
I'm sorry. I truly am.
Just let's not let this ruin the day.
Barb?
Don't push her into it.
We need to respect what she wants too.
She's asking questions. That's a good thing.
She'll be okay.
Barb: Easy on the blush, Marge.
She's already a blushing bride.
You look beautiful, mama.
( Phone beeping )
Oh, no no no. Hold it in. Just hold it in.
Okay, I've got waterproof mascara.
( Phone beeping )
Who are you texting?
A friend.
Oh, is Gary your plus-one?
Gary couldn't make it.
Aww.
Here. Blot. Don't wipe.
I thought I might deviate a bit from the usual vows.
I mean, don't worry. It's nothing drastic.
I just wrote a short little something.
It slips right in. I think you'll like it.
Thank you, Barb.
Of course.
No, Barb,
thank you.
( Quietly ) Mama.
Dad went and got her.
I do love you, Nicolette,
and so did your father.
Walk me down the aisle.
( "The wedding march" playing )
You look beautiful.
( Whispers ) Thank you.
Brothers and sisters,
family and friends,
we're gathered here today to join
William Orville Henrickson
to Nicolette Eugenia Grant
in the joy of holy and legal matrimony.
Family is everything.
It's what keeps us going in tough times.
And I have faith that our family
will keep going through anything.
This family is ordained of God.
So, unless anyone has
any objections to this union,
we will proceed to the vows.
Very good.
William Orville Henrickson,
do you take Nicolette Eugenia Grant
to be your lawfully wedded wife,
to have and to hold from this day forward
for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish
for as long as you both shall live?
I do.
And do you, Nicolette Eugenia Grant,
take William Orville Henrickson
to be your lawfully wedded husband,
to have and to hold from this day forward
for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish
for as long as you both shall live?
I do.
I am so blessed.
Then by the power vested in me
by the state of Utah,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
( Camera shutters clicking )
( Children playing )
- Hi. - Mom.
- Hi. - Hi Barb.
- Was that beautiful? - Just gorgeous.
- Boy: Give it to me. It's mine. - Barb: Oh, settle down.
- Hi. - Hi Barb.
- Boy: Ow, you stepped on my foot. - Boys, must stop jumping.
Come on.
( Sighs ) Get ready to call the ambulance.
- Hi. - Hey.
You need anything? You good?
Man: It's all great, thanks.
Barb: All right.
There's more food out there.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Benny... oh, we don't have napkins. - Okay.
( Cell phone ringing )
What?
Frank: Where are you?
Uh, a wedding.
I need you, Lois.
- Uh... - Where are you? I really need you.
- We need to walk now. - Get away from me.
- Stand... - ( Hangs up )
Bill: By virtue of the holy priesthood
and the authority vested in me,
I pronounce us husband and wives
for time and all eternity.
I seal upon us by virtue of the holy priesthood
in the name of the father and of the son
and of the holy ghost.
Amen.
Margene and Nicki: Amen.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
What?
I like that you're good at taking care of people.
Yeah, I think I found my groove.
Boy: He's choking me. He's choking me. Anybody, help.
Guys, no rough-housing.
Hey, break it up. Break it up, come on.
- Hey guys. - Hi.
Isn't she a beautiful bride?
Bob, how're you doing? Good to see you.
Man: This is great.
- Everything here okay? - Yeah, okay.
( Phone ringing )
Hey, what's up, dad?
Leave? Why?
♪ Isn't she lovely? ♪
What do you mean, he spoke to you?
♪ Life and love are the same... ♪
The bishop?
( Whispers ) Oh my...
Ben!
( Doorbell rings )
Bill, I just wanted to say hi.
Oh hi. How are you guys?
( Police radio chatter )
Can I help you?
We're sorry to disturb your party, ma'am.
Are you Barbara Henrickson?
What's the problem?
Is someone's car blocking something?
We know this is a bad time. Could you step outside?
Why?
What is this about?
Mrs. Henrickson, we believe you possess information
pertaining to an open investigation.
An investigation of what?
Statutory rape.
Excuse me.
