Because I Said So Page #10

Synopsis: Daphne Wilder is a mother whose love knows no bounds or boundaries. She is the proud mom of three daughters: stable psychologist Maggie, sexy and irreverent Mae and insecure, adorable Milly - who, when it comes to men, is like psychotic flypaper. In order to prevent her youngest from making the same mistakes she did, Daphne decides to set Milly up with the perfect man. Little does Milly know, however, that her mom placed an ad in the on-line personals to find him. Comic mayhem unfolds as Daphne continues to do the wrong thing for the right reasons...all in the name of love. In a battle of strong wills, the mother-daughter dynamic is tested in all its fierce, wacky complexity. The girls help Daphne finally discover the truths and impossibilities of motherly love, all while trying to answer the questions: where does it begin and where should it end?

Can you hold it for a minute?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, guys.

Where were we?

With the tuna pasta

and the tuna noodle doodles,

tuna sandwiches, tuna...

I love your eyes.

I even love

your mother.

Well, we gotta get this show

on the road. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Where is she? Well, it should

have started 20 minutes ago.

That's not like her. I mean,

the ceremony has to start soon.

I don't know

where she is, though.

Oh, my God.

I'm worried.

I hope she's okay.

Just call her.

All right. I'm calling.

It's her own wedding.

Oh, no.

No.

Hi, honey.

Hi, Mom. Where are you?

Honey, I just have to talk to you

a little bit later, okay? Mil...

Oh, my God. I kind of think she's

having sex with Joe right now.

Great.

Awesome.

Would she like us to explain that to

all the guests, or just the preacher?

She is a woman after

my own heart.

All right, Mom? We are gonna

give you five more minutes.

Ten. Ten.

Mom. Come on.

Open up the champagne,

sweetie. What's the rush?

Because I said so.

Mom, don't hang up

the phone on me.

You got soul

Everybody knows

That it's all right,

it's all right

When you wake up

early in the morning

Feeling sad,

like so many of us do

Hum a little soul

Make life your goal

Surely something's got to come

to you And say it's all right

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right

Have a good time

'Cause it's all right

It's all right

Are we married or what?

All right.
