Father of the Bride Part II Page #8

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, uh, what time is it?|It's, uh-- All right, it's 11:36. 11:36.

All right.|So that would be 11:36.

Plan ''F,'' uh, route ''B.''

We can be there in 17 minutes.|Annie, don't worry.|We got everything under control.

What is this?|What am I wearing?

My blouse.

- Oh, honey!|- What? What happened?|- Oh, my God.

- Sorry. False alarm.|- Oh, sweetheart.|- Well, that doesn't--|- It's all right.

- Don't worry about it.|- That's okay.|- I'm sorry.|- That's not unusual.

- Are you okay?|- Don't worry about it.|- That can happen.

We'll be back|before you know it.

We got home just|as the sun came up.

The girls fell right|to sleep...

as I headed off to work.

Hello! It's fabric day.

- Hello, George.|- Hi.|- A pleasure to see you.

And oddly enough, knowing Franck was|at the house made me feel better,

although I have no idea|what he did there all day.

Do the baby workout|Make the babies gleeful

Oh, that's good.|That's good!

Little tin soldier|Happy tin soldier

Right. And now|with an attitude.

Hello! Who you?

Get away! I don't|like what you say! Now, leg up--

Uh-oh. Mom! Dad!

- I'll get it. What flavor?|- No flavor. This is it.

Good. I didn't even|get undressed this time.

Where's my chart?

- George, don't forget the suitcase!|- I won't!

Dad, keys!

You'd think I could tell the difference|between labor pains and indigestion.

- Yeah.|- I'm really sorry, Mom. Really.

- Mom?|- I understand, honey.

You know, I think-- Oh, boy,|I think I just gotta--

- I'm gonna lie down here|just for a sec.|- Oh, me too.

I'm gonna go catch|a few winks before I--

Dad, where've you been?|I'm late for camp!

- Camp. Camp.|- Come on!

At this point I hadn't|slept in 48 hours.

Have a good day|at work, George.

Yeah, Dad. Good night.

Ohh.

Hello! Pappala's home!|We got a surprise for you, George.

I'm sorry I can't stay,|George,

but I-- Whoops! I caught a cold|from your house.

Come on, George.|Hurry up. ''Quick-ah.''

I'm too tired|to ''kovick-ah.''

Okay, George, this is it.|The baby suite is finished.

Think of it, buddy.|After today, I'm out of your hair.

- Did we come in on budget?|- Close enough, George. Close enough.

- Now close those eyes.|- Oh, Franck, I'm not|gonna close my eyes.|- Don't ''oh, Franck'' me.

You never wants to have any fun.|Close those eyes.

- All right.|- Drumroll, if you please.

Okay, open up.

Welcome to babyland.

- It's beautiful.|- Thank you, sir.

I mean it.|It's perfect.

Oh, well, coming from you, George Banks,|that-- that means a lot.

A lot.

A whole lot.

And here's the bill.|Ju-Just don't go nuts, George.

Just-Just-Just try to remember, uh, what|you feel right at this minute, okay?

In fact, do me a favor.|Maybe you open it after I leave.

That will be better.

- George!|- He's up here and he loves it!

Oh, well, good!|Honey, dinner's ready.

- She cooked?|- She wants to give you a break.

She's been cooking up a storm all day|in that freezing kitchen.

What's the matter, George?|You look a little pooped.

Oh, I haven't slept in three days.|You know, I try to sleep at work,

but I keep thinking any minute|one of 'em's gonna go into labor|and I'll just end up--

Totally wired. Trust me.|I know the feeling.

And do you know how|I spell relief? V-A-T-S-N-I-K.

- V-A-T-S-N-I-K?|- Vatsnik.

The best sleeping pill in|the whole wide world. I swear by them.

Oh, no, no, no.|I don't take sleeping pills.

Oh, George, you need|your rest. You do.

What if they need you,|and you're walking into walls?

Believe me, I never take pills myself|neither. But sometimes, I need to rest.

So I take a half a Vatsnik,|close my eyes, and I wake up a new man,

refreshed and replenished|and ''roaring'' to go.

Just-- You know what?|Keep them. They're very mild.

- Mild?|- Oh, yeah. No, y-y-you'll|thank me. You'll see.

- George, Franck, dinner!|- On our way. ''Quick-ah.''

I'm so happy that you|like the room, George.

Sit next to me|at dinner, okay?

- Hi, Dad.|- Hey, Matty. How was camp?

- Good.|- Ann, how're you feelin'?

Great. Really energized.|Bryan's coming home tomorrow.

- Don't think we'll see|any action tonight?|- Don't think so, Dad.

- Hey, honey. How're you feelin'?|- Oh, good. Fine.

- Went to the doctor today.|- And?|- And right on schedule.

Three weeks.

Hmm. Well, here goes.

- Dad, what are you taking?|- Well, Dad hasn't been|sleeping so well lately,

so I thought I'd take|a couple of very mild sleeping pills.

Hmm.

Please pass the rolls.

Thanks.

Dad?

- What's he doing? What's going on?|- George? George?

I never saw anything like it.|He said, ''Pass the rolls.''

- By the time I passed them,|he was gone.|- George!

- Georgie, love, what is wrong?|- Oh, my God! George?|- George! George!

- He's not dead, Mom. He just|took two sleeping pills.|- George, baby.

- Are you all right?|- He took them both?|- You gave him sleeping pills?

He said he could not sleep, but|two Vatsnik is like, ''Good-bye,|George, see you next Thursday.''

- George! Oh, my! George!|- I didn't think he would|take them both, you know.

- Look at him! He's like--|- Truth is, I take half|a Vatsnik and I'm a goner.|- Honey!

- He took them both at once?|- Looked that way to me.

Well, at least he'll sleep,|you know. Matthew, help me|get him into the living room.

- Can I help in some way?|- No, no, no. We men can do it.

- On three we lift, Matthew.|- Okay.|- One, two, and we go.

- George?|- Oh!

Drop that boy on me.|Am I moving?

- Oh, yes, you're moving.|- Oh, that's good.|- Oh, dear. Oh, Franck.

- Going down.|- Oh, God, are you all right?|- Am I getting shorter?

- Oh, no.|- Help me, baby.|- Second strength.|- Okay. Okay.

Okay.

- Franck?|- Yeah?|- Is he breathing?

- Yes, breathing and drooling.|- Oh, honey. Oh, dear.

- There you go!|- Oh! Oh!|- Mom?

Oh, what are Vatsnik anyway? I've never|heard of it. Are they prescription?

Not yet. They're from my country.|They're not exactly legal.

But trust me,|there are no funny side effects.|I've been taking them for years.

Oh, yeah. Okay. He's going to be fine.|Don't you worry.

- Um, Mom?|- Well, if he's so fine,|why are you taking his pulse?

- Mom!|- Well, just to check it.|Pulse excellent. See? He's fine.

- He'll just sleep like|a little lamb. Okay.|- Oh, George.|- Nina!

- What?|- Mom, this is it.|I'm not kidding this time.

- Are you sure?|- Yes. I'm gonna have this baby tonight.

All right, Franck. Franck,|we need you to drive us to the hospital.

- No, no! No, no!|- I'm too big to get|behind the wheel, Franck.

Franck! Franck! Franck,|we need you. Could you drive us|to the hospital, Franck?

Huh? Okay. Thank you.

Yes, the hospital.|I'll drive you there.

- I'll take the suitcase.|- Okay, come on. Come on. Let's go.|- I'll be there in a moment.

- Hurry up. Hurry.|- Ladies, not to worry.|We have no problem.

- Good. Then hurry.|- Hey, Mom, can I drive?|- No.

George! Wake up!|Please, wake up!

You're gonna be|a grandpappala.
