My wedding to Marwa is quickly approaching,
but treachery is afoot. There are people
that are against me getting married and being happy.
No one is against you or you getting married.
Don't be so naive, my little friend.
Conspiracy is abound! Ask the djinn. He will tell you.
Do you wish to know if conspiracies abound?
No! Stop trying to trick me into using up all my wishes.
You're just not thinking straight, Master.
-Maybe it's because you haven't slept in a week? -(groans)
GUILLERMO: Nandor is so hyper-focused on having
the perfect wedding, he doesn't even slumber anymore.
He just lies awake all day, thinking of more things
to make the wedding even more perfect.
NANDOR: Ah.
GUILLERMO: More things. More.
More, more, more. (laughs)
Maybe you are the one who is not thinking straight
because you have not slept in a week!
(snoring)
(gasps)
Yeah, no. I'm awake, I'm awake. I was just...
I was just... Uh, my eyes were just a little, just...
What were we talking about?
CREWMAN: We were just talking about how hard
you're working on the wedding.
Yeah, no, it's true. I haven't slept in a week, but I guess
that's what it's like to be the best man to a vampire
who is absolutely losing his fucking mind
because he wants to have the perfect fucking wedding!
Can I do that last part again?
Just without the cursing this time?

NANDOR: Twirl it.
Mm, no.
You know, I've always dreamed of having a big wedding.
Or at least since that time
that we watched The Wedding Planner
on that rainy Sunday together.
-That was nice. -It was okay.
-(knocking) -MARWA: Knock, knock.
-NANDOR: Come in, my love. Hi. -GUILLERMO: Hey.
I wanted to ask you about the flower arrangements.
Yes. Red and black roses.
But I was really hoping we could go for white and pink.
That's... What about the black and the red?
No.
I will have Guillermo look into it straightaway for you.
Thank you, my love. Thank you, Guillermo.
-Of course. -Bye.
-(door closes) -You see?
Even my own bride is trying to sabotage this wedding
with her insane demands!
-Enough. -But... what?
(door opens)
So you're just going to abandon me in my darkest hour?
No one's trying to sabotage your wedding, okay?
-Pull yourself together. -You pull yourself together.
And you do not snap at me.
-I'll snap at you. -You just did.
Nandor, quick question.
Did you invite Sean and Charmaine to your wedding?
Why would I do that? It is an all-vampire wedding, Laszlo.
But I think he would be greatly offended
-if you didn't invite him. -Okay, fine.
Guillermo, figure out a way to make it work.
-LASZLO: Good man. -His request
for a human plus-two is all too transparent.
Add another name to the list of people that are against me
-and my wedding. -(groans softly)
Oh, perhaps I should add your name to the list, also?
How much do you want some of this stuff?
'Cause you literally have a genie...
-A djinn. -who can solve
all these problems, but no.
You don't want to use any of your precious wishes.
Well, P. S.: you're gonna have to, because some of these
things are literally impossible.
-Like what? Name one. -Oh, one? Um, I don't know.
You want a live dodo bird to roast for the wraiths to eat.
Oh, you would deny the servants a hearty meal of their own?
-Can't we just do turkey? -No!
It has be a dodo. What's the problem here?
They're very slow birds, very easy to catch.
-They're everywhere! -Not anymore!
-Since when? -1681!
-You'll figure it out. -(gasps) I'll figure it out.
-Oh. (yelling) -(crashing, clattering)
GUIDE: The nightclub needs cheaper drinks.
No, we want the drinks to be very expensive,
so then we attract rich humans.
Am I right? They gorge themselves
on sauces and creams,
and get their muscles massaged. Oh.
Rich humans are basically like veal--
conceptually repulsive, but so buttery on my tongue.
(yelling, clattering continuing)
Hello?
What the fuck?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
-(Nadja clears throat) -Mm, my goodness.
Guillermo, did you kick five holes in the wall
-and then fuck a chicken? -Hmm.
-No. -What happened to the lamp?
You know what?
I think this little feller is having a tantrum.
Is this true, Guillermo? Is Nandor's wedding
making you put your knickers inside a twist?
It's just too much for you, isn't it?
-Let him speak. -I'm perfectly fine to...
Say no more. We can help.
-Okay. -GUIDE: Let's see here, let's see here.
Oh, well, getting a dodo bird is easy. That's no problem.
-It is? -Yes, I have an antique dodo bird net
in the Chamber of Curiosities. You can borrow it.
NADJA: It is obviously
not in my nature to want to help Guillermo.
Don't put your back out being grateful. (sputters)
But because he is the nightclub's accountant, I really
need him to not have a stroke.
The Baron has not gotten back to you
about officiating the wedding ceremony?
-GUIDE: Hey. -Yes.
We will take care of The Baron so then you can turn all
of your attentions to catching the dodo bird.
Oh, wow. That feels
really weird being so nice. (gags) Ooh.
-He is a good boy. -(Sire chuffs)
Would either of you like to give him
-a little scritchie? -No, but...
-(barks) -Oh. -Eeh.
Of course, I am so flattered that Nandor asked me
to officiate his wedding
-to the beautiful and charming what's-her-name. -Hmm.
-Marwa. -Gesundheit.
But what you ask of me--
-it is simply not possible. -Baron,
everyone who's anyone who's a vampire is going be there.
Yes, I am aware of that.
I am sorry.
But look at my wretched state.
Oh, I could not bear so many witnesses
to this tattered vessel.
Once they dined on the lavish feast
that was my visage,
but now, well, I serve them
only a charred and flaking peasant's crust.
-Oh. You look great. -Yes, -Oh.
-NADJA: Never looked better. -Oh, you are too kind.
-GUIDE: We're being honest. -NADJA: Yeah, it's the truth.
But I am not the dashing, radiant being
that I once was.
I think I might know just what you need.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
That he's still fuckable
-even though he looks like a burnt log? -No.
Obviously, he's fuckable. I mean, come on.
I am thinking that somebody
needs a...

-Okay, what about this one? -DJINN: It's just kind of what
you're wearing right now.
Back in Al-Qolnidar, I would just wear the severed penis
of an enemy on a sling made from his dismembered intestines.
-This is a wedding tradition? -No.
For me, that was a Tuesday night.
(titters)
Nothing? Okay, whatever.
-Nandor? -Yes, my love?
-I was just looking through the guest list -Mm-hmm.
and I noticed that my parents are not on here.
They had a prior engagement of being very dead.
I just always thought my parents would be there
for my wedding day.
Okay, fine. I will see what I can do.
Thank you.
(sighs) How many wishes do I have?
-You know I can't tell you that. -Eh.
Okay, fine. I wish
for you to bring Marwa's parents back to life for the wedding.
-And do you want them to speak English? -Sure. Why not?
Do you want to bring them back to life permanently, or-or...?
Eh, just for the weekend is fine.
-It is done. -MARWA: Baba-joon! Maman!
-MARWA'S MOTHER: Oh, my dearest. -MARWA'S FATHER: Where is that
-idiot husband of yours? -MARWA: Baba, please.
On second thoughts,
maybe an early departure on Sunday after brunch.
GUILLERMO: Oh, and for the chocolate fountain--
it's possible to just put stuff on that
that's not necessarily chocolate, right?
-WOMAN: Like what? -What? We want, uh, it...
-I'm not sure yet, but it's... -Yes, that's fine.
Okay, it's fine? Can I get a couple
of those, uh, five-hour energy capsules, please?
Talking about the normal ones or the kinds for your dick?
Derek. Sorry, one se-one second.
-Derek, what are you doing here? -I'm working.
-Working? You're a vampire. -Hush.
And being a vampire doesn't exactly pay the bills, so...
-What bills? -Clothes, coffin,
storage facility for the coffin. Which, by the way,
I'm not allowed to sleep in,
but whatever. But, you know,
it's not a bad gig.
Why don't you just take money from the peop...
...from the victims that you kill?
Because I'm a vampire, not a thief.
All right, so that's $16.56.
-18, 19, and 20. What's going on, my man? -Thanks.
-I'm-I'm good. I just... Oh. -(phone buzzes)
It's the flower people. I have to take... I have
-to take this. Hello. Guillermo. -Oh, okay.
Great shooting the shit with you, man.
-Mm-hmm. -Really good.
In fact, good to talk to, well, anyone.
I'm sorry, can you give me one se-one second?
Really quick, one second.
Derek?
-Are you okay? -Ye-Yeah.
Yeah. No. Ish.
You know, it's really lonely
being a-a vampire.
Say, do you want a key cut or something?
Do you want to go to a vampire wedding?
-I do. -I'll send you the info?
-Yeah. Text it to me. -I'll text it to you. I have to go,
-though, okay? Okay. -Okay. Cool.
-Wait. You had my number this whole ti... Mm. -Hello?
-Yeah. I have to go. -Hmm. Okay, yeah.
NANDOR: I am not being
greedy with my wishes.
I simply do not have that many left.
-How many do you have left? -Not many.
-Ay... -GUIDE: Well, poor Guillermo.
He's about to have a nervous breakdown
with all this stuff he has to get done.
-Boo-fucking-hoo. -NADJA: She's right.
And it's a terrible thing when you work with someone,
and all you want to do is please them,
but they treat you like a piece of human shit they wish
they could just scrape off the sole of their shoe.
-What? -Huh?
Nandor, what is the point in having a djinn
if you're not going to use the djinn?
-Uh... -GUIDE: With all due respect,
you are being a real bridezilla.
-I don't know what that is. -GUIDE: Oh, it's like
a combination of a bride and a Godzilla.
What is a Godzilla?
Okay, I think we're getting a little bit off-topic.
He's a giant lizard creature that destroys cities.
-Enough! -Whoa!
-Whoa! Fuck! -(high-pitched tone)
-You were saying? -Nandor,
if you want these impossible things,
then you're going to have to use your wishes.
Okay, fine! I wish for Baron Afanas to be returned
to his original, non-burnt-up, non-just-a-torso form.
-It is done. -I wish for a live dodo bird
that we will slaughter and roast
and feed to the Wraith waitstaff.
-It is done. -And while we're at it,
I wish that Marwa would like all the same things that I like.
-NADJA: Ah. -It is done. -And I wish that...
I'm sorry, but you've used up all your wishes now.
-What? -Well, it's been, um...
-Yes, yeah. Happy now? -I just got everything
-I wanted out of this, so... Yeah, big smile. -Hmm.
Okay, I wish for you all to get the fuck
-out of my bedroom. -DJINN: Okay, I can do that. -(squawks)
-ANNOUNCER: This season... -Game face.
...the boys are back with even bigger flips.
More demo, more laughs...
(laughing)
Remove those blindfolds.
...and even more surprises than before.
Tuesdays at 9:00.
NANDOR: I am very glad that
my wedding will now be perfect.
I do feel a little sad that I had
to use up all my wishes to make it so.
Hmm. Looking back,
-(yawning) -...I probably should not
have used up so many wishes on such trivial things.
I wish for the lid of my coffin to be closed.
Are you sure? I can just go fetch Guillermo.
With Guillermo, it will be a whole thing.
-(lid closes) -NANDOR: Ah.
Guillermo.
The dodo did a doo-doo.

Will you listen to yourself? 'Cause maybe it's you
who's actually not too sure about this wedding.
And maybe you're the one trying to sabotage it
by accusing everyone else of being against it.
Can you blame me for being a little afraid?
It's a big step for me.
Hey, it's gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay.
I'm gonna be right here by your side.
So, if you're scared, I'll be right there.
I never said I was scared.
I said I was afraid. There's a difference.
-Okay. -Hmm.
-Well, if you get afraid, I'll be there. -Yes.
Thank you, Guillermo.

-Lovely. -You look beautiful.
-Hi. -Mm. -You may sit.

Let's leave it.
Dearly benighted,
we gather here tonight
to join these two in unholy matrimony.
-I'll be all over that later. -BARON: Not to bore you
with a long speech because, well,
it is not just the bride and groom
who are eager to get down to some fornicating.
-Am I right? -NADJA: Yow! Yow!
(laughing)
So, before they exchange rings,
I must ask if anyone here can show just cause
why Nandor and Marwa may not be lawfully wed.
Speak now or forever hold your peace.
-There's no one disagreeing. -Then,
-by the power vested in... -MARWA'S MOTHER: I object.
-(gasping, murmuring) -SEAN: Whoa.
-MARWA: Mama, please. -Awkward.
NANDOR: I told you.
-Didn't I tell you? -Yes.
A vampire marrying a woman he was already married to,
but then abandoned to die alone, only
to be brought back to life by djinn magic?
It's just not natural.
Mother, this is what I want.
But I can't just not say anything.
(sighs) Well, you could try.
So awkward.
So... that happened.
-Now, with no further ado... -I, too, object.
-The fuck? -NADJA: I sort of feel like
this is more about Nandor wanting a wedding,
and wear a big dress, than actually wanting
to be married to Marwa. Facts are facts.
-I'm gonna sit down. I'm done. Proceed. -NANDOR: Thank you for that.
(laughing): Well, anybody else?
-Actually, yes, I thought of something else. -(people murmuring)
Oh.
I just want to conclude by saying
I think all marriage is a sham. (laughs)
Apart from my own marriage
to my darling wife Nadja over there.
The very first time I met Nandor the Relentless,
-I fell deeply in love with him. -Ooh!
'Course, as I got to know him better,
that feeling faded.
But the memory
of that one-sided passion
is still too much
for me to give this marriage my full endorsement. Thank you.
Hello. Um, my name is Derek.
-Who invited this guy? -I'm just a bit bummed
these two can find love and get married, but I can't
find one chill bud to have a bull sesh with?
I only very recently became aware
that vampires are real.
Which, by the way, doesn't freak me out at all.
-Mm. -It got me to thinking.
-Everlasting life. -CHARMAINE: Aw.
You know? That's a long time.
Long time to be with another person.
You like her right now, but...
Marwa, I just want to say that I think it's a little rude
that you haven't stopped by my house.
You're new to the neighborhood. You haven't bought any, like,
cookies or anything. That's what people do.
Nope. Sorry, we do not validate.
Once again, for the last time, please do not get in line
to ask if we validate.
G-Get on with it.
I cannot tell you how moved I am
-to see you all gathered here. -Since when did The Sire speak English?
Oh, I taught him. Flashcards, mostly.
-Hmm. -Time lays waste to all.
And love turns to dust.
Ruin is inevitable.
And all else is prelude.
SEAN: He's got a point.
NANDOR: Thank you for that.
GUILLERMO: Next it's... The Guide again.
I forgot to say earlier,
I also fell deeply in love
with Marwa when I first met her.
Enough of this bullshit! I've had enough!
I know what you are doing.
You're plotting against me.
Fuck you.
-And I agree with him. -Thank you.
I admit,
I have had my doubts about this marriage, as well.
-(loud gasping) -I almost called it off more than once.
-What? -But then, yesterday, a feeling came over me.
And I realized that if this is what
-Nandor wants... -NADJA: Oh. -LASZLO: Oh, fuck.
-then it is what I want, also. -Oh.
'Cause when it comes to Nandor,
I like what he likes.
(cheering, whooping)

Marwa, I must ask,
when did this moment come over you
where you realized that
whatever I like, you like also?
Yesterday evening.
Was it early evening or late?
Late evening.
-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.
Yes.
I'd forgotten how handsome a vampire the Baron is.
Oh, yes, he's absolutely delicious.
I must confess we had a little quickie
in the cloakroom after the ceremony.
-As good as you remembered? -Oh, so much better.
Right. Well, then don't mind if I do.
-Oh, enjoy, my love. Ooh. (laughs) -I bloody will.
I say there, Baron,
fantastic to see you returned to your former glory.
I have been wanting to have a private word with you, Laszlo.
If you would be so good as to meet me
in the coatroom in five minutes.
Oh, yes. I think I can manage that.
Ah. Oh.
-MARWA: Baba, let's dance. -So.
So.
I suppose later tonight
is when you will make her a vampire
so that the two of you can be together
forever and ever
and all eternity.
We will see.
Yes, just as I thought.
SEAN: So that was great.
-Then other times, I hit, uh, -Thank you.
