A Weekend with the Family Page #8

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.

but they've already made bail.

They've already made bail?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, thank you.

Leave a message at the beep.

Hey, it's me again,

calling you for the millionth time.

Travis, I'm so sorry

about what happened today.

I really should have

I don't care

about anything else right now.

Please, please, please,

just give me a call.

I love you.

[John shouting] Courtney.

[Courtney] Yes, I'm coming,

I'm getting dressed.

Okay, come on.

You can set the hors d'oeuvre over there.

Smells delicious!

And I have all your change of clothes

in the other room.

Thank you so much, Mrs. Clancy.

This really means a lot.

Ooh, don't mention it!

Okay, this better work, PP.

[all whispering softly]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Yeah, that's a good one.

That's what I'm tryin'...

Oh, April, Richard,

this is my younger daughter, Courtney.

-Oh, yes, Courtney!

-Good evening, Governor.

-[John] Honey?

-[Sue] Yes, what?

-Well...

-Well, what?

-Oh, the food!

-[John] Yes!

[Sue] Oh, the food... They're here.

It... It's here. There...

There, over there, the food is... Oh, boy!

Almost ready.

Any moment now.

Oh, good!

[Governor] It smells amazing.

-Yes, yes.

-[Sue] Thank you.

-Slightly familiar.

-[John] Yes...

Richard, I feel that with your backing

-and your constituent support...

-Oh, John, John.

Please, if there's one thing

you're gonna learn about politics,

it's not to discuss them

on an empty stomach.

Sit down. Stay, shh...

-Just a bunch of stress.

-[John] Yes indeed. Absolutely.

-It does smell delicious...

-[John] Yes.

I would like to propose a toast.

[rings glass with spoon]

Glasses. Here is to dear friends,

and the love of family.

What more could a man ask?

Hear, hear.

Cheers.

Mmm

Ha-ha!

-[John] God! Here we go.

-[Governor] Now, let's eat.

[John] All right.

-That's not salmon!

-No, something even better.

[angrily] You!

This smell, I know this smell.

What are you doing here?

-What's going on here?

-Nothing that won't be

rectified real quickly. Yeah.

Sue, call the police.

Daddy, stop!

-You better get over here.

-[dish clatters]

This is breaking and entering.

-Daddy!

-I'll can call the police on you.

Do you know what I'm saying?

-[Dingo] Let me tell you something.

-[John] What?

It's not what you think it is.

What the hell is it then?

Are you completely

trying to ruin me, you, you,

you ghetto fossil?

-A what?

-You heard me.

Just like home.

-It's delicious.

-Absolutely.

-You know I have every legal right...

-[banging]

[angrily] John Clancy,

you look ridiculous.

-I... I just...

-No, you stop that right now.

Why you have to always think

only about yourself?

I ask you fix this, you no fix this.

We all trying to get you stopping.

Don't you remember...

you and I first meeting?

We so in love.

Our parent, they no support us.

That was very painful.

Only thing important is your daughter.

Look at your daughter, she is so happy.

You see how she look at this fool,

and he look at her same way?

John, they both happy.

Remember, we used to be happy.

Mr. Clancy,

this is probably all my fault.

But I've been trying to get this out

this entire weekend.

I really love your daughter,

and I'm willing to do anything

to make her happy

for the rest of our lives.

Just like my parents,

and just like you and Mrs. Clancy.

Guess what I'm trying to ask you is...

Can I he your daughter's hand

in marriage, sir?

Courtney Clancy, would you make me

the happiest man alive?

Will you be my wife?

[whispers]

Yes, yes.

Congratulations.

Oh, everybody clapping!

[everyone applauding]

That's my PP!

Congratulations, son.

[everyone cheering]

[Dingo] Get your ass in here.

[everyone chattering excitedly]

Welcome to the family.

-[Governor] This was amazing, John.

-[John] Yes.

But I still don't know how you knew.

How he knew what?

Very few people know that my mother

was born and raised in Louisiana.

Louisiana! Surprise!

Every summer, we used to go there,

visit her family.

And before we left the state,

she'd take me out for barbeque.

Yes, yes!

To a little, old rib shack.

That old shack that was...

You had no idea. I do.

And then I show up here

and it's on your dinner table.

Aww, that is amazing story.

I hear they used to serve their ribs

on the underground railroad as well.

Yes, yeah, yeah, I think, Harriet Tubman

had the number three...

John Clancy...

any man with that attention to detail

deserved my endorsement for senator.

[grunts excitedly]

Well, thank you, thank you, Richard,

you won't be disappointed.

You keep those ribs comin',

-then I don't suppose I will.

-Oh, absolutely, absolutely!

Well, thank you, guys, so much for coming.

Oh, and hey, if they're interested

in franchising,

I think we can all do some business.

Absolutely, I can make a little money

on the side.

You two have a wonderful evening.

-Right.

-And please congratulate

your daughter again for me.

[John] Oh, yes, yes, yes! Absolutely.

Nice to see you. Thank you.

[speaking Korean]

Thank you for coming.

Yes!

-[Dingo] You gotta go ahead...

-Oh, no. All right!

Okay, but don't pay us no never-mind.

Not a problem, Niphateria,

what can I do for you?

I think the question

is what I can do for you.

I made a little Stanky-leg Stankershet

shot for you, Mr. John.

Just want you to go on

and give it a little swirl.

-Get your life, baby.

-It's gonna change your life.

Don't mind if it does.

You know what you need to do.

Get your life.

In five, four, three, two...

[Dingo and John] Oh, sh*t!

Watch your step.

-Show me what you're working with.

-Show me what you're working with.

Ooh, baby.

-[Dingo] You know what I'm saying?

-[John] Let me holler at you

for a second in the room there.

Oh, John!

Have fun, John.

Pop that thing, pop that thing, pop it!

-[John] Come on!

-You know my... My safe word is kimchi.

[both shouting and screaming

in excitement]

Pop that thing, John. Pop that thing, boy.

You welcome.

No, no, no, no!

-[romantic song starts playing]

-Oh, my God! Baby, you hear that? Listen.

Oh, my God!

Oh, that's our song, baby.

Now, you get this going.

-Oh, baby.

-I love that song.

-We met on that song.

-No, we did it on that song,

What you talking about?

Thank you, Mr. Stankershet.

For what, baby?

Being the man that I always loved.

I love makin' you happy.

And you know exactly how to make me happy.

I love you, baby.

I love you.

Got some movement.

-What's that?

-That's the mandingo.

Houston, we ain't got no problems.

Ooh, Lord, told you

not to give me that cocktail.

Damn, that worked fast this time.
