THREE: How’s the fam?
MAC: Brooke’s getting all dolled up for the bachelorette party. Daisy’s staying here with my mom and Big Mama. They’re watchingFather of the Bride, which is funny since Daisy’s never getting married. Ever.
FORD: Isn’t she a little young for you to be worried about that?
MAC: I’m preparing for the inevitable.
HAWK: Hello, Mac. I’m really looking forward to meeting you.
MAC: Me too, whoever you are.
HAWK: Your sister has told me a lot about you.
MAC:I have three sisters, so…
HAWK: Olivia. We’ve been spending quite a bit of time together.
MAC: I still don’t know who this is, but Liv would’ve been my first guess. Has she gotten you to propose to her yet?
HAWK: Sorry. This is Drake Hawkins. And I am currently not engaged to any of your three sisters.
MAC: Oh, hey, Drake. You work with Beau, right? Congrats on making the groomsman cut with all the cousins.
HAWK: Yes. I feel tremendously special. And please, call me Hawk.
MAC: I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but I like it either way.
THREE: Back on topic—I’m bringing poker chips and cards for later. I’ve also got a dart board and darts. I’m looking for suggestions of faces to put on the bullseye. Any ex-boyfriends of Kasey’s?
BRADY: Kasey’s only ever been in love with Beau.
THREE: Tough crowd for sarcasm.
MAC: Are we definitely wearing those Hawaiian shirts?
BRADY: If you’d feel better in construction-worker chic, we can make an exception for you, Mac.
MAC: Ha ha. No. I’m in for the tropical look. I even packed shorts and flip-flops.
FORD: Our cousin. Getting nutty.
THREE: I got hibiscus leis for all the men. Had to order them special.
MAC: Flower necklaces? Extra tropical.
HAWK: A surprising number of men around the world wear flowers and jewelry in their rituals and ceremonies.
FORD: Thanks, Dora the Explorer!
HAWK: I was just saying. In case anyone is uncomfortable wearing a lei.
FORD: I was being sarcastic. Thought that was the vibe.
BRADY: Anyway, boys, I’m sure we’ll all be plenty comfortable tonight. This is about Beau and having fun.
THREE: And flower necklaces.
MAC: Daisy will be jealous.
