"The Prince's Bride" is the nineteenth episode of the third season of the American comedy-drama television series Entourage. It is the 41st overall episode of the series and was written by co-executive producer Rob Weiss, and directed by David Nutter. It originally aired on HBO on May 20, 2007.
The series chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they attempt to further their nascent careers in Los Angeles. In the episode, Vince, Eric and Ari meet with a multi-millionaire who could fund Medellín. Meanwhile, Drama gets an opportunity to star in a film by Brett Ratner, and Turtle goes out with Kelly on a date.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 3.38 million household viewers and gained a 2.0/5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, although some criticized the lack of progress in the main storyline.
Lloyd (Rex Lee) calls Drama (Kevin Dillon) to inform him that Brett Ratner was impressed by his work in Five Towns, and wants him for Rush Hour 3. He arrives at a party at Ratner's house, but is disappointed when it is revealed that he was not the intended guest. Nevertheless, Drama refuses to leave the party, hoping Ratner changes his mind.
Vince (Adrian Grenier), Eric (Kevin Connolly) and Ari (Jeremy Piven) visit Yair Marx (Assaf Cohen), a multi-millionaire playboy from Israel, to have him invest in Medellín. During the meeting, Yair's bride, Nika, takes an interest in Vince, making him uncomfortable. Later, she calls Vince, telling him that he will get funding, but asks to meet him at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) visits Kelly (Lauren London) for a date, which is interrupted when Rufus (Marlon Young) suddenly arrives. When Rufus falls asleep, they decide to go dining, and Turtle allows Kelly in driving his car.
After so much insistence, Ratner reluctantly allows Drama to appear as an extra in the film, delighting him. Vince and Eric visit Nika, but she is angry that Vince believed they would have and leaves upset. Despite that, Yair calls to tell Vince and Ari that he will fund the $60 million budget and invites them to his house. Yair tells Vince that he is aware of the meeting, disappointed over his decision. However, Vince is surprised when Yair actually refers to turning down Nika, and tells him he will fund the film if he has sex with his wife, who is waiting for him upstairs.
