Father of the Bride Part II Page #10

Synopsis: In this sequel to "Father of the Bride", George Banks must accept the reality of what his daughter's ascension from daughter to wife, and now, to mother means when placed into perspective against his own stage of life. As the comfortable family unit starts to unravel in his mind, a rapid progression into mid-life crisis is in his future. His journey to regain his youth acts as a catalyst for a kind of "rebirth" of his attitude on life when he and his wife, Nina, find how their lives are about to change as well.

Megan if it's a girl,|and Franck if it's a boy.

Franck Banks. It's got kind of a|continental ring to it, don't you think?

Can't you see him walking around|the house with his little ascot?

George, go check on Annie.

Tell her I'm fine, all right?|Oh, boy.

These contractions are|really coming fast, honey.

But go, go. I'm fine.|And, oh, check on Matty, honey.

And, George? George.

I don't know what|I was gonna say.

Okay.

Okay, hang in there.|A little more.

- That one was a b*tch, huh?|- Yeah.|- Hey.

- Pappala, we're getting closer.|- How're you doin'?|- Hi.|- You okay?

- Yes, that's better. Thanks.|- Fine. Good.|- Dad, how's Mom?

Well, uh, sh-she's, uh--|You're not gonna believe this.

- She's not in labor?|- She is, actually.

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.|- This is some night.

- More ice.|- I'll get it!|- I'll get it!|- No, no, no. I'll get it.

- All right.|- You just, uh-- You just stay there.|- Dad, you should--

- Hold on.|- I got you. I got you.

Go to Mom. I'll be fine.

- The ice man arrives.|- Almost. Almost. Almost. There we are.

There we go. More ice.

Really, Dad, I can handle this now.|You stay with Mom.

Well, she did say she wanted|some ice. I could take this to|her and be back in two seconds.

- How about I find a doctor and get|an update here, okay? Be right back.|- Okay.

- You just-- You just--|- Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.

- Oh! This is very good.|- Okay.|- Mm-hmm.

- Franck. I need you, buddy.|- I'm here, buddy.

- Anything. What?|- W-Well, I need you to help me.|Can you hang in here with me?

Of course. I will hang in|until I hear those babies cry.

I don't know what I'm doing exactly, but|I will keep doing that. You know that.

- Well, I thought you|could stay with Annie.|- Good.

-And then I could check on Nina.|-Fine.|-Then maybe we could switch.

Yeah. George?

We're bonding here,|aren't we?

- I think we are, Franck.|- Someone's buzzing me|awful bad in here.

Go on. Don't worry.|I'm on the case.

Okay. Oh, George. George?|I think I'm almost there.

Yeah, Dad, don't go too far.|We may need you.

Dad? Dad!

- We're moving her into delivery.|- Okay. I'm ready. Let's do it.

- Dad?|- Baby.

Doctor.

What's going on?|What's wrong?

Nina, your contractions|are really close together...

and the baby's just not handling|it as well as we'd like.

The baby's heart rate has dropped.|Now, we're gonna watch it carefully...

and if it doesn't go back up in a couple|of minutes, I wanna do a C-section...

- and get the baby out.|- Oh, George.

Mr. Banks, I'm concerned|your wife's going to need to|be delivered in the next few minutes...

- and obviously I can't be|in two places at once.|- Right.

Everything's going beautifully|with Annie. Her labor's|progressing very well.

I'd like to turn her over|to the chief resident.

I have complete|confidence in him.

I just feel that it's more important|that I stay with your wife.

- Is that okay with you?|- Yeah, fine.

If the baby's heart rate doesn't go up,|how long does it take to--

Once I get her in the operating|room, I can have the baby out|in 60 seconds if I have to.

We're still okay.

- We're in labor in room number four.|- Okay.

- Get Dr. Wagner up here.|- Right.

- Dad! Is Mom okay?|- She's fine. Don't worry.

- Okay.|- Hi, Annie. I'm Dr. Wagner.

- Hi.|- Hold on. We're almost there.|- Okay.

- Bryan!|- Annie!

Oh. Oh, God.

- I hope he's the husband.|- He is.

- How'd you know we were here?|- Well, I got to the folks' house...

and saw the tray|of uneaten lasagna.

- I'm so glad I made it.|- Me too.

Slow down, kids.|This is our stop.

Dad, if--

- Just go. Go.|- Okay.

I don't see enough of an improvement,|Nina. Let's get you delivered.

- Pat, we're on our way.|- Okay.

- Nina.|- Oh, George.

What if she doesn't|get the baby out in time?

- She will.|- Excuse me.

- Hey, you know what I|was thinkin' about?|- What?

- I was thinkin' about our first date.|- Oh, yeah.

The one you showed up|an hour late for?

- Oh, actually, I wasn't an hour late.|- Yes, you were, George.

You showed up as I was pulling|away from the restaurant.

Well, that's not exactly|what happened.

Actually, I got there on time.|I told you this.

- Never.|- I didn't?

Remember, you told me I'd know|you because you'd be wearing|that red turtleneck?

- Oh, George.|- And I just...

stood in the window and I watched|you walk to that booth in the back.

And you were so|incredibly beautiful.

I was afraid to go in.|And I--

- And I just stood there,|- Excuse me.

watching you sip your water|and talk to the waiter,

and I just fell in love|with you.

George.

And when you left, I watched you|get in your V.W. bug...

and I saw your hair blowing out|the side of the window, and--

and you started to drive off, and I|just got afraid I'd never see you again.

That's when I almost|ran you over.

Thanks for telling me this,|George.

Thanks for marrying me, Nina.

We're ready.

Dad, it's a boy.|We have a son.

Congratulations.|How's Annie?

Perfect.|She's just perfect.

He's so cute.|Seven pounds, nine ounces.

- How's Nina?|- I'm, uh, still waiting.

Yeah. Well, I guess|I-I better get back.

- Go.|- Okay.

It's wonderful.|Give Annie a kiss for me.

I will.

I'm a grandfather.

Mr. Banks?

I have someone|that I'd like you to meet.

It's a girl.

I love girls.

- How's Nina?|- She's excellent. She did beautifully.

Am I nuts, or is this|the most beautiful baby ever born?

She's perfect.

Oh. Would you tell Nina|she has a grandson?

I will. Congratulations.

And thanks.

My pleasure.

Hey. Hey.

Hi, beauty. Hi.

Dad, you gotta see him.

Annie says he looks|just like you.

- Come here, you.|- Boy.

- Oh, that's yours?|- She's a daughter.

- Oh, she's beautiful.|- Say. Say.

It was at that moment, with my daughter|in one arm and my grandson in the other,

that I realized life isn't|gonna get much better than this.

- Oh, there he is.|- Oh, let me see him.

- Ohh!|- Hi, Dad. Mom.

- There they are.|- Oh, my God. They're so sweet!

Hello!

Before we knew it,|two months had passed,

and it was time|to say good-bye.

Have you got the stroller?

I guess we're off.

That's it.

Mom?

- Oh, honey.|- I'll miss you.

- Knock 'em dead, okay?|- Okay, I'll try.

- Let me hug George good-bye,|okay? Can I?|- Ohh. Yeah.

- Hi. Hi. Are you George?|Oh, you're George.|- Can I get a little hug?

- Can I hold him?|- Huh?|- Yeah, sure.

- Okay.|- Yeah.|- All right, honey. Okay.

- Two hands.|- Two hands.|- Two hands.

Yes. Good.

- Well.|- Well, good-bye. Take care.

- Bye.|- We'll call you.|- Okay.

See you, George.

We'll call ya.

Bye, Megan.|Call me, okay?

I may be your nephew's mother,|but I'm still your big sister.

- Here. I got her a going-away present.|- Hey. Okay.

Thanks.

You better get going if you're|gonna get to Phoenix before dark.

Yeah, we better.

Okay, well, remember. If you're|ever up for a 3:00 a.m. feeding,|it'll be 6:00 in Boston.

So, you know,|don't hesitate.

- I'll take him. Oh, sleepy.|- Hey, wait a minute.

I haven't had a chance to kiss|my grandson good-bye yet.
