A Weekend with the Family Page #3

Synopsis: A young attorney looks to gain a position at a prestigious law firm while secretly dating his boss' daughter, who he's hoping to marry; but when his loving girlfriend decides to arrange a surprise family weekend get-together, his plans blow up in his face, especially with the arrival of his ghetto-fied family, the Stankershets. Travis and Courtney portray love interests who struggle to hold on to their relationship all while their two families wage war in an explosion of hilarity. It's the far east against the deep south; strict, traditional, Korean customs versus a backwards, country way of life. In the end, Travis must find a way to make the two families peacefully co-exist long enough for him to propose to the woman he loves.

So, this was just some masculine thing?

No, it wasn't just some masculine thing.

I was trying to avoid

exactly what's going on right now.

Look, I didn't want you to think

I was just dating you

because you're the boss' daughter.

I knew if you saw me get it on my own,

then you wouldn't question

my love for you.

Babe, I'm sorry.

Fine, I believe you.

Thank God.

So, what now?

Uh... Google, flights,

we are packing this up.

-Babe, we cannot leave.

-Yes, we can.

Did you see how your dad looked at me?

I was...

As a matter of fact,

who was Billy Clapton?

Where did you hear that name?

You dad, he called me Billy Clapton.

Billy Clapton was my ex,

a few years back in college.

I thought he loved me, but I found out

he was only using me

because he knew who my father was,

and he wanted to be a part of his firm.

Exactly why I didn't want

to say anything, you see...

Wait, what happened to Billy Clapton?

I have no clue.

I told daddy about him,

and I never heard from Billy again.

Oh, no.

I'm dead, your dad is gonna kill me.

He gonna hide the body

somewhere with his lil' judge friends.

And they ain't gonna find my body.

-He'd never go to jail 'cause...

-This is gonna be

a lot harder than I thought.

-Google, flights, pack...

-My dad will never respect you.

...'cause I'm not about to die over this.

We cannot leave.

I think we done past the respect point.

Did you see how you daddy

was looking at...

Travis, just give my dad a chance

to get to know you

so he can see how amazing you are.

You're nothing like Billy.

All right, what are we up against?

Tell me what's going on. Why are we here?

Well, this is my mother's

favorite holiday.

So, my dad takes it very seriously.

-Babe, we can do this.

-Yes, we can.

We're gonna get through this together,

we're a team.

As Bonnie and Clyde. Me and you, girl.

-[Courtney] Hi!

-[Sue] Honey!

We will begin Sebae shortly,

and then, have dinner after.

-Travis, will you be joining us...

-[Courtney] No, no, no, no!

Oh, yes! Travis is all about the Sabbath.

Imma be all up in there with y'all.

Terrific, will you be needing a hanbok,

or did you bring your own?

No, I got my own handbook.

I write in it all the time.

I write my poems in there.

No. Hanbok.

That's the same.

[hesitantly] Yeah. No, I don't...

What's that?

[Sue] Don't worry, I think John have

extra one.

Thanks, Mom.

Handbook? Really?

Handbook, hanbok, it's all the same...

That's your good dress.

[gong rings]

[exotic music plays]

How wonderful? Very good, Travis.

That hanbok is a antique from Korea.

It is priceless.

Anything should happen to it,

you die.

It's very nice, Mr. Clancy.

It's just a little long, but...

[speaking Korean]

Dad, please!

Travis, this is a tradition

known as a Sebae.

Everybody move over.

It is done to honor one's elders.

Okay, yeah, I'm all about honoring

one's elders,

'cause I used to work at Walmart

and when the elders came in,

I 'd just hold the door for 'em.

-Some will be in a little wheelchair...

-Babe, babe, babe.

Okay, they get it.

-Sorry.

-Okay, this is very simple.

All you have to do is bow down

to mom and dad four times,

and say a little phrase.

Okay, what's the phrase?

[speaking Korean]

Okay, everybody kneeling down.

It means, "Please receive

a lot of luck in the new year."

Very important in Korean tradition

to properly begin Seollal

with good fortune.

Here, you may observe

as we pay respect to my mother

and the father. Okay?

-Ready?

-Ready.

[chanting Korean]

Now, we do the same think for mom and dad.

I'll give it a whirl. [laughs]

[John laughs sarcastically]

This custom deserves much more

than you giving it a whirl.

Daddy.

[Courtney] Ready? Babe?

Ready? Okay.

[chanting in Korean]

[Travis mispronouncing]

Say about the mini bad hoes.

-[robe rips]

-Oh!

Ooh!

Oh, no!

[whimpers]

Oh, oops!

[John shrieks in anger]

[grits teeth in anger]

I stepped on it.

[shouting in Korean]

Anybody got a needle and thread?

[doorbell rings]

Babe! Oh, my gosh!

I totally forgot, I have the biggest

surprise for you. Come, come, come!

[mouthing words inaudibly]

[Courtney giggling]

You guys, come, come, come, come!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Okay, Travis, I have the biggest

surprise for you! [squeals]

Okay, you ready?

Yeah, babe, I'm ready. Another surprise.

[exclaims] I invited your family.

[Dingo exclaiming in amazement]

Lord! Lord! Lord!

Nip, look at this, Oh, my goodness!

Baby, our son done landed

in a pot of honey.

-He done come up like 7Up!

-Came up like a Mountain Dew!

-[in a sing-song voice] Won't they do it?

-[Dingo] Won't they?

[Nip] Yes. Where's my baby at?

Where PP at? PP?

PP, where you at, babe?

-PP...

-There he is, Ma. I see him.

PP?

The heck! What you got on, boy?

[exclaiming in shock]

That's my baby...

[Nip] Move, that's my baby!

Gimme the Tazin.

[Nip sings]

This little light of mine

My baby, he's all fine, Lord!

This little light of mine

My baby, he's all fine, Lord!

-Come on!

-Wake up, nigga.

It's time to party.

[Dingo laughs hysterically]

[Nip] Wake up, baby.

-[Dingo] There he is.

-Boy, you were so excited to see us,

you just fainted.

Mamma, Daddy, what you all doin' here?

Boy, that ain't no way

to talk to your mamma.

Can't you see she happy to see you?

-Sorry, Papa.

-Okay...

Look, your girl called us, told us,

"Just come on down."

Honey, she bought

the plane tickets and everything.

[whispers] First class!

[Nip laughs loudly]

[Dingo] Great flight, baby.

Hey, PP, your mamma hung that phone up

so damn fast,

you would've thought

she was on Amazing Races.

-[Nip] Survivor.

-[Nip and Dingo singing] I'm a survivor...

[Sarge in a commanding voice]

At ease, soldier.

Give your brother a big hug.

Babe, your brother.

-Come on.

-Yeah, my brother.

Come on, it's been a long time...

[shouting on top of his voice]

What did I tell you? You got to be ready

at all times.

Never know when there's gonna be

an invasion.

Now you must repeat, "Time, nigga."

-Time, nigga.

-Time, nigga.

That's what I'm talking about.

Tap that ass.

Still darned soft, huh?

Still darned soft. Soft like sugar.

[Sarge] That's sweet, boy.

All right,

take off that little suit, baby.

It's so wonderful to finally meet you.

Now, you are gorgeous.

Ain't she gorgeous, Dingo?

She's as pretty as me.

[Dingo] Fine as spring wine.

And that body look like

it's tight as sh*t too.

You done good, PP.

My boy got good taste.

-[Nip] Yes, he do.

-[Dingo] Yes, he does.

-PP?

-That's short for piss pot.

You see, he peed the bed

up until he was 16 years old.

-Seventeen.

-Mm-hmm, 17.

The doctor said he had the bladder

of a two-year-old.

Oh, really?

He'd piss everywhere. Rugs, sheets, shoes.

[Sarge] Really piss-ass f*ggot.

But you ain't gotta worry about him

pissing on you,

unless you want him too.

[Stankershets laughing hysterically]

We just playing with you, baby.

[Nip] Ain't nobody playing.

But girl, you are even
