Part 2, Pages 65-82 Summary

On the morning of the wedding, Debbie calls Max. She does not want him to wear the sports coat he had on yesterday to the ceremony today and offers to take him suit shopping. Hurriedly, Gail whispers that this will give them one last opportunity to talk her out of marrying Kenneth, and Max agrees to go. Gail will accompany them. Gail and Max bicker about Debbie: Max feels that Gail is interfering in matters that are ultimately up to Debbie, and Gail is irked that Max is so difficult to reason with: She feels that he has always been this way, and spending so much time with him and having him in her home is frustrating. Gail wonders if Debbie wants Max to purchase a new suit because she feels that her family is too shabby in comparison to Kenneth’s, and she has a moment of resentment for Kenneth’s family. She then recalls meeting Max’s family for the first time: She hadn’t liked them either. She thinks that relationships can be tricky.

At the store, Max tries on a series of suits while Gail tries to talk to Debbie.
