Directed by: Jay Roach
Starring: Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo
Ben Stiller gets arrested for being rude to a stewardess and for saying "bomb." Robert De Niro races to the airport and does a quick interrogation. De Niro approves of the wedding and asks "will you be my son-in-law?" Stiller proposes to Pam. She says yes. Pam's mother says that all that's missing is for her and De Niro to meet Stiller's parents. De Niro watches a surveillance recording confirming his suspicion that Stiller did in fact flush the toilet.

Answer: Greg was probably surprised at just how "richy" they really are. Because lacrosse camp seems like a really rich, preppy thing to do. But mainly, I think he was suprised because he did not know that his girlfriend's ex and his girlfriend's sister's fiance knew each other. He didn't realize how connected they all were.
