Liz says it is not a Jewish wedding. David Michael says he wants to smash something because it would be cool. Liz says to take it outside. 

Kristy says it would be better if the wedding was outside. Liz says that six generations of Brewers got married in the room they are in and she doesn’t want to break tradition.

Charlie, Sam and Watson show off the car, which upsets Liz, who thought they agreed on a used car, not something expensive and brand new. Watson says he paid the difference and it makes Charlie happy. He adds that Charlie worked so hard to save for a car and was able to get him a good deal. Liz just wishes they discussed it first. Watson says to think of it as a wedding gift from him to the kids…or one kid who will carpool. The family goes for a spin, but Kristy stays behind.
