College Road Trip Page #8

Synopsis: Melanie Porter (Raven-Symone)is a talented high school graduate who has selected a University 800 miles from home. Her over protective father, James (Martin Lawrence) doesn't want her to be so far away, so he cooks up a plot to try to convince her to go to a local University. On the guise of going to her selected university, he forces a visit to his preferred (close to home) school. This is a typical road trip movie with lost cars, bumming rides on buses and planes, covering that difficult time of life when a father loses control of his daughter.

Of course.

Porter, Porter, Porter...

You made it just in time, Miss Porter.

They're all waiting for you,

right in there.

Yes! Yes!

How do I look?

- Like an angel. All right.

- Thanks, Dad.

That was horrible.

- Aren't you going in?

- MAN:
Next, please.

Mel.

What?

(SIGHS)

I'm afraid.

Well, guess what? I was afraid, too.

Dad, what are you afraid of?

I was afraid that if I let you go,

that you'd never

need your daddy again.

But I'm always gonna need you.

Mel, this is what you gotta do.

Go in there with all confidence.

Keep your head up. And do your best.

All you can do is win.

Yeah, I like that.

And if they don't accept you after that,

it's their loss.

I'm so glad you're my dad.

Time for you to shine, baby.

I'm gonna let you go now.

SCOOTER:

Cookies, cupcakes, pies ...

Oh, Danielle.

Nice look today.

DANIELLE:

I ain't a gift to a friend.

SCOOTER:

Look what are you wearing!

Maybe, Scooter.

I'm an Abigail Adams now.

Really?

Yes, Scooter, really!

Aw, sweet desserts.

It's from the pastries.

Delicious!

Thank you, Scooter.

You're welcome.

Time to go.

Let's go, Trey.

- Melanie Porter.

- Porter.

Here we go. Room 217.

I just checked in your neighbor.

You did? Really? Who is it?

(SCREAMING)

I don't believe it! Can you believe it?

- I'm in Room 218!

- I don't believe it.

My gosh!

You inspired me to apply here,

and now we're gonna be neighbors!

I have to go get my dad.

He's gonna be so excited to see you!

- Dad?

- Surprise!

James! How are you?

It's so good to see you.

Oh, this is my wife, Sugarplum.

Hi!

(BOTH GROWLING)

This is my sugarplum, Michelle.

Hello, Michelle.

It's so nice to meet you.

- Hello, Michelle.

- Hi.

So, our daughters are staying

in the same dorm? How crazy is that?

You know what I'm thinking?

- Booster club karaoke party!

- Booster club karaoke party!

A little more singing.

A little more singing!

Absolutely!

- Come on, poopsie.

- Okay!

Hey.

(SINGING) People

People who need people

(FLY BUZZING)

Are the...

(COUGHING)

I swallowed a bug.

Wait for me!

I can't help it. I like that guy.

Our baby.

This is it.

Come here, baby.

I never thought this day would come.

I did. But I'm proud of you.

Thank you, Daddy.

I love you.

I love you, beautiful.

I'll see you at Thanksgiving, all right?

(INAUDIBLE)

(INAUDIBLE)

(INAUDIBLE)

It'll be okay.

- Where does the time go?

- Yeah.

Come on, baby. Let's head home.

JAMES:
Trey? Five minutes, dinner.

TREY:
Coming, Dad.

I can't believe

it's been three months already.

I just hope

she hasn't changed too much.

Well, how changed could she be?

You talk to her every week.

(GRUNTING)

Where did Albert get that hat?

(SINGING) Over the river and through

the woods to the Porters' house we go

I love this guy! Oh, what a gas!

Come on, James!

The karaoke's all set up.

We're going to sing and dance!

No, maybe after we eat.

We don't want to start singing

without the girls.

- Okay, all right.

- That was Melanie and Wendy.

They're two minutes away.

I can't wait to meet Tracy.

- Tracy?

- JAMES:
Yeah.

That's a friend of hers from school.

They're gonna be studying in Japan

together next semester.

Now, James,

you promised me you're not

gonna make a big fuss about Japan.

No, this is the new James Porter.

New and improved.

There's nothing I can't handle. I'm cool.

- We're here!

- We're here!

Mel-bear!

(EXCLAIMING)

MELANIE:
Look at you,

you look fabulous!

JAMES:
You look fabulous.

Thank you.

Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet Tracy.

Uh-oh.

(GRUNTING)

Nice to meet you, Mr. Porter.

Mrs. Porter.

(BOTH EXCLAIMING)

Tracy.

- You're a guy.

- Mmm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm a guy.

(WHISPERING) Say "nice to meet you."

Nice to meet...

- Nice to meet you, Tracy.

- There you go.

Thanks. Thank you, sir.

James, I am so proud of you.

It takes a good dad to accept anything.

I'm so happy you just said that!

Scooter!

- Ding-dong!

- Dad, everyone, this is Scooter!

And Scooter and I are getting married!

Dad!

(SINGING) Getting to know you

Getting to know all...

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(THUDDING)

(RIGHT BACK WHERE

WE STARTED FROM PLAYING)

Oh, and it's all right and it's coming on

We got to get right back

to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We got to get right back

to where we started from

Do you remember that day

That sunny day

When you first came my way

I said no one can take your place

And if you get hurt

If you get hurt

By the little things I say

I can put that smile back on your face

Oh, it's all right and it's coming on

We got to get right back

to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We got to get right back

to where we started from

Oh, it's all right and it's coming on

We got to get right back

to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We got to get right back

to where we started from

Oh, it's all right and it's coming on

We got to get right...
