Quotes 

• Wayne Rigsby : Excuse me, ladies, and gentlemen, if I could have your attention for, uh, one second, please. I'd like to offer one more toast. I'd like to thank Stacy and Roberto for making me realize just how important it is to protect a dream.

  [the wedding guests applaud] 

  Wayne Rigsby : I didn't protect my dream. To be honest, I, uh... well, I didn't know how. But what can you do when you meet the right person at the wrong time?

  Angel : Do her anyway!

  [laugher] 

  Wayne Rigsby : Well, yeah, that works, for a while. But eventually, you say things, or don't say things.

  [approaching Van Pelt] 

  Wayne Rigsby : You, uh... make more mistakes than you can count. And in the end... well, things fall apart.

  Grace Van Pelt : Is this your idea of a distraction?

  Wayne Rigsby : Just trust me. Now, if you're lucky, you might find each other again. But there's too much history and heartache to ever find your way back to that dream. At least that's what I thought. I'm hoping I was wrong.

  [he kneels down and presents an engagement ring] 

  Wayne Rigsby : Grace... will you marry me?

  [Van Pelt is stunned] 

  Wayne Rigsby : Well, say something. This is real.

  Grace Van Pelt : Yes, Wayne, of course I'll marry you.

• Wayne Rigsby : [waking up to find Van Pelt playing with Ben]  Sorry he woke you.

  Grace Van Pelt : Oh, it wasn't him.

  Wayne Rigsby : Oh. Was I snoring again?

  Grace Van Pelt : I thought it was a low-flying jet.

• Grace Van Pelt : I used to dream about having a Cinderella wedding.

  Wayne Rigsby : You did? You never said anything.

  Grace Van Pelt : Eh, it was a long time ago. I suppose it all seems silly now.

• Patrick Jane : Grace, I need your help. It is imperative that our young lovers go ahead with the wedding as planned.

  Grace Van Pelt : Good luck with that. You ruined a girl's wedding.

  Patrick Jane : Yes, and I lack the putty to spackle those emotional wounds. That's why I'm calling you.

  Grace Van Pelt : I have putty?

  Patrick Jane : No, you have life experience. Use it to convince the bride that her happily ever after begins tonight.

  Grace Van Pelt : [exasperated sigh]  Really?
