Paris sits on the grass, eats lunch. She watches Bennett
leaning against a tree.
But Bennett is watching cool girl, Tiahn, as she unwraps a
sandwich. Suddenly, he walks up to her -
BENNETT:
Tiahn, will you go to prom with me?
SFX:
Drum banging.From behind Tiahn, banging a drum, Clifford comes from
school. TWO FRIENDS play a recorder and ukelele. EVERYONE
on the grass watches as they get to Tiahn, stop playing.
Clifford loudly declares.
CLIFFORD:
Tiahn, will you go to prom with me?
Tommy, as usual, talks too loud.
TOMMY:
Oh my Buddhah! You’re both asking
her to prom!
Clifford c*cks his head at Tommy, gets it, looks past Tiahn
at Bennett.
CLIFFORD:
Bennett, why are you asking my
girlfriend to prom?
TOMMY:
Girlfriend?!
Bennett’s mouth goes dry. STUDENTS watch. It’s clear he
didn’t know they were dating.
BENNETT:
I didn’t know you were --
TIAHN:
(kindly)
We just started dating.
TOMMY:
Harsh.
(loving the awkwardness)
So Tiahn, who are you going to prom
with? Bennett or Clifford, your
booooyfriend?
(CONTINUED)
71
CONTINUED:
Tiahn smiles kindly to Bennett, then turns to Clifford.
TIAHN:
Yes Clifford, I will go to prom
with you.
EVERYONE watches Clifford and Tiahn embrace. Bennett doesn’t
know what to do, his feet are glued to the ground.
TOMMY:
Ooh Bennett, walk away, dude. It’s
not too late to change schools.
Without thinking, in a huge burst of bravery, Paris stands
Paris taps Bennett’s arm, he turns.
PARIS:
Will you go to prom with me?
What feels like the entire school is watching. Bennett is
stunned. Paris is embarrassed. Then-
BENNETT:
Well, yeah!
Paris is beyond relieved. The drama over, students walk
away.
Paris shakes Bennett’s hand.
PARIS:
Great. Um, I’ll pick you up-BENNETT
No, I’ll pick you up.
Bennett leans into Paris.
BENNETT (CONT’D)
What’s your name?
SMASH CUT TO:
INT. MILLER LIVING ROOM - LATER THAT DAY
In that same three-way hug, Toula and Ian have their arms
wrapped around ecstatic Paris.
PARIS:
I’ve never done anything like that.
(CONTINUED)
72
CONTINUED:
IAN:
It’s brave.
PARIS:
I heard I come from a long line of
strong women.
TOULA:
You do.
PARIS:
But Prom is on the 20th.
TOULA:
You’re going to miss your
grandparents’ wedding.
PARIS:
That sentence doesn’t make sense.
IAN:
It’s okay sweetie, prom is
important.
Toula and Ian keep hugging her. Paris steels herself.
PARIS:
Guys?
TOULA/IAN
Yes?/Uh huh?
PARIS:
I want to go to New York
University.
Toula and Ian look at each other, what do we do now?
CUT TO:
In the dark and quiet room, Toula sits in the armchair, upset
about Paris’s decision. It’s not okay.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. PORTOKALOS HOUSE - DAY
It’s a beautiful June day.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
Aunt Voula orders everyone around.
LOUD VOICES YELL in Greek as a TENT goes up LOPSIDED behind
the Portokalos home. Angelo and his business partner PATRICK,
30’s, help with the tent.
AUNT VOULA:
Higher. Use your man-muscles.
Nick and GRANDCHILDREN paint the fence blue and white
stripes.
Angelo wheels by with a GIANT HOMEMADE WEDDING CAKE. Aunt
Voula sticks her finger in the cake.
CUT TO:
INT. DANCING ZORBA’S KITCHEN - SAME DAY
Toula, melancholy, sifts powdered sugar onto kourambiedes.
She knows she can’t tell the family Paris’s news.
Toula glances at Ilaria, holding her BABY.
Around her, the kitchen is alive with preparations.
Pots of meat stew simmer, fat noodles are cooked, bechamel
sauce is stirred.
Athena layers filo dough, brushes it with butter. Aunt
Freida mixes a large vat of spinach and feta cheese.
Marianthi runs by with a pot of honey and orange rinds.
Jennie runs the other way with a mixing bowl of yeasty dough.
Mana-Yiayia sits in the corner online gambling on an iPad.
Nick turns to see Angelo come in, explaining the kitchen to
his partner Patrick.
ANGELO:
After the wedding, you pack
everything, bring it back. The
pans go here...
Patrick nods, takes an inventory of pans.
Now Nick overhears:
MARIANTHI:
What’s wrong, Toula?
(CONTINUED)
74
CONTINUED:
Marianthi is too close. Toula quickly covers.
TOULA:
Nothing! It’s okay. It’s a big
day.
Nick puts pans of moussaka by the door. Angelo pokes Nick.
ANGELO:
(whispers)
What’s up with Toula?
NICK:
I dunno. But she’ll tell me
eventually.
Angelo puts foil covers on pans.
NICK (CONT’D)
Because why keep a secret from your
own family?
That lands. Angelo slowly turns around, looks at Nick.
Nick’s eyes are kind. Angelo realizes Nick knows.
Angelo feels Aunt Voula beside him and turns to her. Aunt
Voula points to Patrick as he walks out of the kitchen.
AUNT VOULA:
He’s your partner. Or your
partner?
Angelo takes a moment, then without shame:
ANGELO:
He’s both.
Aunt Voula’s eyes are warm, she nods.
AUNT VOULA:
I know.
Suddenly, the iPad rings, Mana-Yiayia holds it up.
AUNT FREIDA:
It’s Maria on The Facetimes.
Toula runs over.
TOULA:
What do you need?
Maria appears -- at Nikki’s salon -- on the iPad.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
(2)MARIA:
Where are you? Who is going to

Nikki leans in from behind Maria.
NIKKI:
Everyone get over here!
