Daniels cousin Martha Daisy Donovan and her fianc Simon Alan Tudyk are desperate to make a good impression on Marthas uptight father Victor Peter Egan. Their hopes for doing so are dashed when Martha, hoping to calm Simons nerves, gives him what she believes is Valium but is actually a hallucinogenic designer drug manufactured by her brother Troy Kris Marshall, a pharmaceutical student. While on the way to the funeral, Simon begins to feel its effect.An American dwarf named Peter Peter Dinklage introduces himself to Daniel, who is too busy to speak to him at that moment and suggests they talk later. None of Daniels relatives can identify the man. The service begins and the hallucinating Simon, certain he sees the coffin moving, tips it over, causing the body to spill out onto the floor. During the ensuing chaos, Martha drags Simon outside, where her father forbids her to marry him. When Simon is told why he is reacting as he is, he panics and locks himself in the upstairs bathroom. Martha tries to persuade him to open the door while fending off the unwelcome advances of Justin Ewen Bremner, with whom she once had a onenight stand that she deeply regrets and would like to forget. When the drug overcomes Simon, he steps out of the window naked and sees Justin kissing Martha. Thinking what he sees reflects mutual feelings, he proceeds to climb onto the roof, where he threatens to jump. Hoping to calm him, Martha reveals she is pregnant with their child. ........
