I'm counting on you to give them a warm welcome." As Tanner hung up, Andrew walked in. He was wearing a bou-tonniere in his lapel.
"Here are the schedules for the-"
"What the hell is that?" Andrew was confused. "You asked me to bring-" "I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about that stupid flower you have on." Andrew's face lit up. "I'm wearing it to your wedding. I'm your best man." Tanner frowned. "What the hell are you-?" And the realization suddenly struck him. "That was seven years ago, you cretin, and there was no wedding. Now get your ass out of here!" Andrew stood there, stunned, trying to understand what was happening.

KELLY WAS LOOKING forward to getting back to Paris. She wanted to talk to Sam Meadows.
She had a feeling he was going to be helpful. And Angel would be waiting for her.
"Have you ever been to Spain?" "Mark took me there once. It was the most-" Kelly was silent for a long time.
"Do you know the problem I'm going to have for the rest of my life, Diane?
There's no one in the whole wide world like Mark. You know, when you're a kid, you read about people falling in love, and suddenly the world's a magical place. That's the kind of marriage Mark and I had." She looked at Diane.
"You probably felt that way about Richard." Diane said quietly, "Yes." "What was Mark like?" Diane asked.
Kelly smiled. "There was something wonderfully childlike about him. I always felt that he had the mind of a child and the brain of a genius." She gave a little chuckle.
"What?" "The way he used to dress.
