The premise
Here’s the bit.
Keith returns home to announce his engagement and invite his family to a wedding in Hawaii. His parents are delighted, but his older brother Clive questions the relationship, dismisses the bride-to-be’s photograph and lashes out at their mother. When Keith challenges his behavior, Clive claims years of caring for their parents have gone unappreciated. An invitation to be best man briefly softens him, until the travel arrangements fail to meet his standards.

Son!

Clive (older brother)
Wow! Congratulations, little bro.
- 00:31
Keith (younger brother)
Engaged. Kind of a big deal. More for me, I guess. That's what that means.
- 00:38
Keith (younger brother)
Yes, well, um...
- 00:39
Clive (older brother)
She got a name?
- 00:40
Keith (younger brother)
Uh, Stephanie.
- 00:42
Mom
Marriage is a wonderful journey.
- 00:45
Clive (older brother)
50% on the divorce. Sorry, bro. Them's just the facts.
- 00:51
Keith (younger brother)
I will, uh, I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
- 00:55
Clive (older brother)
You got a photo?
- 00:56
Keith (younger brother)
Oh, yeah.
- 00:57
Clive (older brother)
AKA, does she exist?
- 00:59
Keith (younger brother)
There you go.
- 01:02
Mm! Ha-ha!
- 01:07
Mom
Oh, she's beautiful!
- 01:10
Clive (older brother)
Let me get eyes on this. Everybody else already had great lighting. Airbrushed?
- 01:22
Keith (younger brother)
Uh, no.
- 01:22
Clive (older brother)
She kind of looks like that one model on The Price is Right.
- 01:26
Keith (younger brother)
Uh, yes. Uh, that's her.
- 01:29
Mom
The Price is Right, Clive. That's your show.
- 01:33
Clive (older brother)
Shut up, Ma! No, it's not.
- 01:37
Keith (younger brother)
Uh, yeah. Stephanie.
- 01:40
Clive (older brother)
Mm-hmm. People always underbid on her showcases. Not the best presenter.
- 01:48
Clive (older brother)
Where's the wedding?
- 01:49
Keith (younger brother)
Oh, uh, in Hawaii.
- 01:51
Mom
Oh!
- 01:52
Keith (younger brother)
Yeah.
- 01:52
Clive (older brother)
Oh! Whoa! Awesome! Woo-hoo! Mele Kalikima!
- 02:04
Clive (older brother)
She ever been married before?
- 02:05
Keith (younger brother)
Uh, no.
- 02:06
Clive (older brother)
So she says. Ex-boyfriend, she got one?
- 02:09
Keith (younger brother)
Of course.
- 02:10
Clive (older brother)
Sloppy seconds, at least. Right, Dad?
- 02:16
Mom
Keith, she sounds wonderful.
- 02:19
Keith (younger brother)
Thank you, Mom.
- 02:19
Clive (older brother)
Shut up, Mom! Silence from you! You're cut off from talking!
- 02:29
Keith (younger brother)
You know what, Clive? I really don't appreciate the way that you're talking to Mom.
- 02:37
Clive (older brother)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Yes! Yes! The prodigal son! You know what? You want to go? Let's go! Because I've been here for the last 15 years taking care of Mom and Dad while you've been trollopsing all over the world. And why? So you can come back here and criticize me for how I treat them?
- 02:59
Keith (younger brother)
No, I actually came here to ask you if you would do me the honor of being my best man. I know that we have, uh, had our differences, but you're my older brother.
- 03:22
Keith (younger brother)
We'll pay for your room, and we're also going to rent you a car.
- 03:25
Clive (older brother)
Uh-uh.
- 03:26
Keith (younger brother)
And we'll pay to fly you out there.
- 03:33
Clive (older brother)
First class.
- 03:35
Keith (younger brother)
Well, we can't afford first class.
- 03:37
Clive (older brother)
Whoa, f***! I'm eating in my room!
- 03:52
Keith (younger brother)
Well, that, uh, that went better than expected.
- 03:55
Mom
I think so.
- 03:57
Keith (younger brother)
Yeah. Thank you.
