Father of the Bride Part II Page #5

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.

- What's wrong with her?|- Nothing.

Nothing that won't go away|in nine months.

Kids, you're gonna|have a baby.

- Excuse me?|- Nina's pregnant.

- Oh, my God.|- Pregnant?

- And who, may I ask, is the father?|- George!

Don't ''George'' me,|you two-timing Mata Hari.

I swear, we haven't|done it in six weeks.

I haven't just felt myself|lately, but pregnant?

How could this happen,|Nina Dickerson?

Why are you calling me|by my maiden name, you big jerk?

And, what do you mean we haven't|done it in six weeks? What about|that little escapade in the kitchen?

Oh, please. That was|a stupid nothing. I mean, that|was a moment of pure insanity.

Would you like to know|how many moments of pure insanity...

I've delivered|over the last 20 years?

Phil, look at me.|I'm about to be a grandfather.

Things like this|do not happen to men my age.

Come on! Picasso had children|well into his seventies.

Ah, well, you know, Picasso.|I mean, Picasso.

I mean, there-- He's the one guy in|history who had kids into his seventies.

But, you know, he's an artist.|He can do anything he wants.

I'm just-- You know,|I'm just a, a regular Joe.

You know, regular Joes don't|have, have babies at my age!

You know, I was-- I was just|adjusting to being a grandfather!

Preg--

Oh! Oh, my God!

- All right. Here you go, Mr. Banks.|- Oh, I'm all right.|- George?

- Now, wait a minute.|- Here. Let me help. I'll help.|- I'm okay.

- You okay?|- I'm okay.|- Let's see if you got|your sea legs back yet.

- Sorry about that. I'm just, uh--|- The shock.

- I know.|- Anyway, thank you.

- Uh-huh. Bye-bye.|- Thank you.|- I know, honey. Me too.

I just-- God. I can't|believe it, huh? Yikes!

Well, you don't think he could be like,|you know, wrong or something, do you?

I don't think he used a|home pregnancy test, George. No.

Honey, this is definitely like|I'm-- This is happening, George.

I know it's a lot to deal with,|but we'll just-- we'll just|let it sink in, all right?

- Good idea.|- Okay. Mom's the word, huh?

Did she say,|''Mom's the word''?

Oh, man. This was a life curve|I was not ready for.

''Grandmother Has Baby.'' It was like|a National Enquirer headline.

One would have thought nothing on earth|could have topped this moment.

- Wrong again.|- It's the musk oil smell|that scares me.

- Oh, well.|- Oh!

- Oh, my God, the Banks!|- Oh, my gosh.

And my favorite|father of the bride.

- Hi. How are you?|- Hello!

- Great. Wonderful. You|look wonderful. Mr. Banks.|- Oh. Look at you!

- Chop, chop, chop.|Oh, you look beautiful.|- How are you, sir?

Imagine running into you here of all|places. This is our home away from home.

Well, I am always fixing, you know.|A nip, a tuck, a little suction.

You know, I look in the mirror|and I say, ''Hello. Looking sad.''

So I come down here, I valet|park, and bongo, Cher Bono.

So how 'bout you? Nothing is wrong,|I hopes? Your health is good?

- Oh, yeah, yeah. We're--|We're good. We're perfect.|- Oh, yeah, it's good. It's great.

- We're healthy and,|uh, nothing to report.|- Very healthy.

- Nothing at all.|- Great.|- Oh, well.

- Oh.|- Mrs. Banks.

- Huh?|- You forgot your prenatal vitamins...

and all your pamphlets|on becoming a mommy again...

- and the ultrasound photo.|- Oh.

Your baby's first picture.

- Oh, no.|- Baby's first picture? Don't--

- Don't tell me you are pregnant?|- No?|- Yeah. I am.

- Oh, my God!|- I know. I just found out.

Oh, I love that so much! Mother of|the bride and a mommy! Get out of town!

- Oh, mazeltov, Mrs. Banks!|- And guess what.

- What?|- Annie's pregnant too.

- Oh, no!|- I didn't hear that!

Mother and daughter are|pregnant together? Oh!

That is fabulous!|I love that ! That's chic.

- I think I'm gonna faint.|- He did.

This is what I suggest. You must|let me do the baby shower.

- Howard, hands me the book.|Quick. Quick, boy.|- Oh!

No, no, Franck. Not this time.|No more parties. No way. N-O.

You never wants to have fun,|George. And you never change.

Every party has a pooper|That's why we invited you

- Party pooper|- Party pooper

Every party has a pooper|That's why we invited you George Banks

- That's you|- It was on the second chorus...

of ''Every party has a pooper''|that I got woozy again.

Next thing I knew, we|were driving through town.

Nina was glowing.

She looked so peaceful.

Grab your coat|and get your hat

Leave your worries|on the doorstep

- You can't get me!|- Just direct your feet|- Slow down, son!|Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait, son!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!|- To the sunny side of the street

Can you hear|the pitter-pat

- Yeah, that happy tune he's whistlin'|- George?

- Nina?|- Honey, I need to know how|you feel about all this.|- Life can be so sweet

- Dad, I want a hot dog!|- On the sunny side of the street

- They don't have any hot dogs!|They don't have hot dogs!|- I don't like--

Don't! Josh! No! No! No!

I feel super about it.|I'm totally up for it.

- You are?|- Definitely.

Oh!

So what do you think? You think we have|the stamina to have a baby?

What do you mean, honey?|For the actual pregnancy?

- Well, I know I have|the stamina for that part.|- Oh, well. That's a relief.

I'm talking about the rest of it,|like the next 18 years part.

But, George, for weeks you've been|telling me how young you are.

- And you've been telling me|how old we are.|- Well, we're obviously|not too old, honey.

Well, Nina, let's be honest. I|mean, just because a man wears sneakers,|it doesn't make him a teenager.

I was completely kidding myself.|When I was working out at the gym, there|were 60 year olds more buff than me.

Oh, so we're too old for this. ls that|what you're trying to tell me, George?

No, it's just that I was beginning|to feel like we were approaching...

that big parenting|finishing line.

Now to be all the way back|at the starting gate?

Not to mention, we will be|like the oldest parents ever|at the starting gate.

I mean, let's face it. Between us,|we're almost a hundred years old.

But don't get me wrong.|I'm into it.

3:
00 a.m. feedings and diapers and car|seats and Mister Rogers and vomiting.

- Hi.|- Hi.

Hi, sweetie. Hi.

- Hi.|- Hi.|- Hi, guys.

- Hi.|- Hi.|- Everything go okay?

Oh. Oh.

So what's going on?|What'd the doctor say?

Is that, uh, TV still on the blink?|Because I have time now, I--

- Dad.|- Okay.

- Well, he, uh--|- Mom, you can tell me. I'm a big girl.

Well, honey, as it turns out,|my, my blood tests are fine.

- Good.|- Yeah. And I'm not even|going through menopause.

- I thought you were too young for that.|- Yeah, well, I don't know.

So what is it?|Did he find anything?

Well, actually, he did, didn't he?|He did find a little something.

He did? What?

Believe it or not,|your father and I--

- We're going to have a baby.|- We're pregnant!

You guys!|That is so unfunny.

I mean, can you imagine|if that were true?

I mean, you couldn't be.

You're serious?|You're really pregnant?

I'm due September 4,|Labor Day.

Perfect timing, huh? Labor Day.|You know, we should go now.
