Father of the Bride Part II Page #6

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.

- Mom, you're pregnant?|- Well, honey.

It's not something we planned. Sometimes|these things, they just happen.

Who knew? You know,|it was a rainy afternoon.

And, uh, your mom and I were|all alone in the house.

Then, uh, one thing leads to another.|And then the next thing you know, hey.

- Daddy!|- At that moment, I wanted to|crawl under the sofa and die.

You old son of a gun.

''Son of a gun''?|I wish I had a gun.

If it wasn't for this kid|coming into our lives, none of|this would ever have happened.

- It's okay.|- Gee, I don't know what to say.

- That's okay.|- I just never thought we'd both|be pregnant at the same time.

- Yeah, well.|- I'm not crying because I'm|sad, really, because I'm not.

- No. What's-- Well--|- I gotta get a Kleenex.

Annie? Oh.|Annie, don't-- Don't cry, honey.

She's been kind of|emotional lately.

So, our kids will be what?|Not brother and sister. That's wrong.

Oh, no, no, no, no.|Their kid will be your brother|or sister and our kid's cousin?

No, your kid's|uncle or aunt.

Yeah, but our kid will probably|be more comfortable calling us|Grandma and Grandpa...

just like your kid, you know, at|least in front of his friends.

You know, 'cause let's face it.|We're gonna be in our fifties|when he's in preschool.

In our sixties,|when he graduates college.

But, you know, that'll be great|to see another kid in cap and gown,

you know, if we can|still see by then.

Now, at least going to the movies,|that'll be economical.

''One child, two seniors.|Thanks.''

Kid's gonna love spending|his adolescence in a retirement home.

At least he won't have to worry|about us hearing him come in late.

That's right, honey, because|we won't be able to hear, right?

Exactly.

You're so hilarious, George. You're so|hilarious. You're so sensitive.

And I really appreciate you|asking me how I feel about|all this, especially since...

I'm the one who's going|to be having the baby.

You're right.

How do you feel about it?

I know how old I am, George. I've|already been the mother of the bride.

But here I am at the age I am,|and I'm pregnant.

And, you know, I don't|think that qualifies me for|the Guinness Book Of Records, George.

So in answer to your question,|I'm very happy!

I'm happy and|I'm feeling nervous...

and I'm just|very much alone.

Well, anyway,|good-bye, sweetie.

I've gotta go. Yeah.|And thank you so much, Bryan.

Thank you. Thank you.

Do me a favor.|Don't follow me, Banks! No!

I went after her,|but it didn't do much good.

I called her, but she refused|to pick up the phone.

Calling me ''Banks''|was never a good sign.

Fortunately, my daughter was kind enough|to put her old man up for the night.

But I couldn't sleep.

I was worried I wouldn't|have what it takes,

that I wouldn't be the same|for the next one.

- Okay? I miss you.|- Yes.|- Okay.

Okay, gimme a kiss.|Gimme a kiss. I love you.

Bye, Daddy. I love you.

Go up and see Mommy.

I love you, Daddy.

Sorry, Maple Drive's closed.|You'll have to use the detour.

- My house!|- Bye-bye, house.

Bring it back!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!|Stop!

Stop! Stop that ball!|Stop it! Stop that!

Hey, stop! Stop. Stop!

- Stop! Stop, stop!|- Stop!

- Stop! Stop! Stop.|- Hold, please!

- Hang on, guys!|- You have a problem, George?

Mr. Habib, you didn't tell me|you were gonna tear down the house.

- You didn't ask.|- I didn't ask because it just|never entered my mind.

But since you obviously don't want|the house, I have the perfect solution.

Sell the house back to me! I still have|your check here in my wallet.

- I never even cashed it.|- I don't think so, George.

See, I demolish house, build two in|its place. This a great piece of land.

Mr. Habib, this is not|''a piece of land.''

This is my home,|and I'm gonna be a father again...

and I don't want to bring|my baby home from the hospital|to a condo on the beach.

I wanna drive|down that street,

and I wanna pull|into this driveway,

and I wanna honk my horn--

Yes, yes, okay. I know.

Mr. Habib, please.

You see this pathway?

I laid these bricks|with my own two hands.

I planted this grass.

I-- I built this fence.

I broke that window|with a frisbee!

I painted these shutters.

Don't bulldoze|my memories, man.

I'm begging you.|Sell me back my home.

Boy. For how much?

You wanna make a profit|on something you owned for one day?

Yes!

Fine.

Will $5,000|do the trick?

George, just another day ago,

I turned down profit|of 50,000 on lot.

Now, you want to double that,|I consider selling back.

You want me to take out|a loan on something I owned free|and clear just 24 hours ago?

Well, that is up to you, George.

Your path, your fence,|your memories.

You don't know what you're asking, sir.|I am the cheapest man alive.

Then move aside, George,|'cause I going to level the place.

We go to work!|Come, come! Go, go!

- Commence to start!|- Commence to start!

- All right!|- Stop! Stop!|- Stop!

You win.|One hundred thousand dollars.

Very close shave, George. Yes, make out,|please, to the Habib Group.

- Habib Group.|- Inc.

- Inc.|- Very good.

- Welcome home, George.|- It feels good to be back.

Well, I happy I could help.

Mr. Habib,|just one last question.

Would you mind getting|your wrecking ball off my lawn?

Oh, sure. Anything you say, George.|You're the boss.

- We go. Move out!|- That's right! I'm the boss!

So all you guys,|get a move on!

- Get that dump truck out of here!|- Right away!

- And quit standing on my shutters!|- Sorry.

And all of you guys, just pack up|your stuff and hit the road!

And don't trample the pansies.

I laid those bricks,|I planted those pansies,

I painted those shutters,|I broke that window!

I'm home.

I'm home!

First thing I did|was apologize to Nina.

That is not funny, George.|I'm not gonna listen to you.

Then I told her I bought|the new baby a present.

- That did it. Twenty-four hours|later, we moved back home.|- George!

Before we knew it,|it was spring.

- Here you go.|- Everything was in full bloom,

including the women|in my life.

Hello? Oh, hi, honey.

- Baby's been kicking a lot.|- Annie and Nina were|in their second trimesters.

- There was no denying it now.|- Yeah, I know we can't sing.

The stork was not only on his way,|he was circling the neighborhood.

Still trying|to redeem myself,

I did the unthinkable.

I hired Franck to surprise the girls|with a double baby shower.

- It's a baby shower! Oh!|- Hello, ladies.

What dreams are made of!|Look what I have for you!

- It was picture perfect,|- Oh, my!

topped off by two surprise|guests flown in for the occasion|all the way from Vienna.

- It's a stork!|- Oh, my God.

- After the shower,|- Thank you.

Nina was showing a few of her friends|the new baby's room...

and Franck started giving|decorating tips.

But this is what I suggest.

Firstly, if it were me,|you know,

what I would do is I'd|push those windows out and let|sweet San Marino light fill in.

Therefore, the third trimester|in the Banks family began...
