they laugh and comment on everything. With a pen, Mana-
Yiayia fills out the COSMOPOLITAN Sex Quiz.
Toula (curlers in her hair) rolls curlers into Paris’s hair,
as Paris hands gifts to Maria.
Nikki does Maria’s hair while Maria opens gifts, reads cards.
MARIA:
“With love from Peter.”
CLOSE-UP:
writing on large card:With love from Dominique xoxo
MARIA (CONT’D)
“With love from Dominique, xoxo.”
Who’s Xoxo?
She shows the “xoxo” on the card.
Nikki sprays olde timey hair spray onto Maria’s hair.
NIKKI:
One more layer and your hair won’t
move until your next wedding.
Nikki laughs at her own joke. Toula ducks as Nikki lacquers
Paris’s hair.
NIKKI (CONT’D)
And this’ll last ‘til you graduate
college.

AUNT FREIDA:
Paris, I hear for college you’re
staying in Chicago -- that’s good.
Toula and Paris lock eyes, Toula shakes her head - not today.
PARIS:
You look pretty for your big day,
Yiayia!
Paris hugs Maria.
AUNT FREIDA:
On my wedding day, I was too
excited to eat and I fainted.
AUNT VOULA:
That was our mother’s advice to us
for our wedding night.
MARIA:
Yes! She said, if you’re nervous
about your duties, just pretend to
faint. Your husband will take it
from there.
AUNT VOULA:
I did it.
Everyone laughs.
AUNT VOULA (CONT’D)
I waited for Taki to scoop me up.
But he just put a blanket on me, I
slept on the cold floor by myself!
MARIA:
Remember Paris, not until your
wedding night. Tonight, you
protect the poulaki.
Toula shakes her head.
TOULA:
Okay Mom, you said it, now let’s
move on.
MARIA:
There’s more.
TOULA:
Of course.

(2)Toula nudges Paris.
TOULA (CONT’D)
Did you leave the car running?
PARIS:
Uh huh.
Paris walks out, Maria calls after her.
MARIA:
Paris, your eyes open, your knees
shut.
AUNT VOULA:
And you, if your knees are open,
shut your eyes.
AUNT FREIDA:
I always have my eyes shut tight.
AUNT VOULA:
Not me! I pretend Taki is a
vampire from those movies.
Sometimes he likes me to dress up
like a wizard. He has a magic wand
TOULA:
Oh good, the sex stories are
starting, let me get a better seat.
Toula runs out.
Nikki looks at the time, shoos out the cousins.
NIKKI:
Everyone go get dressed!
Everyone scrambles to run out. Aunt Voula follows.
AUNT VOULA:
Pluck your eyebrow!
Mana-Yiayia tosses her magazine, starts to head out.
NIKKI:
Mana-Yiayia, have a seat.

CUT TO:
EXT. PORTOKALOS HOUSE - SAME DAY
Patrick drives up in a truck marked PET-CETERA. Angelo backs
out a rack of poofy wedding dresses, wheels it up the
Portokalos driveway.
Toula (hair in curlers) parks in her driveway, Paris (hair in
curlers) jumps out and runs into the house.
Toula sees the Mail Carrier leaving the Portokalos mailbox,
and on a hunch, runs over to grab the mail.
Toula sees:
the letter from Find Your Ancestry. Oh no, nottoday....
She tucks it into her jacket.
CUT TO:
It’s quiet. Angelo goes through a rack, hands a tux to Ian.
ANGELO:
This should fit.
Ian holds it up to himself -- it’s short. And there’s
glitter on the lapels.
ANGELO (CONT’D)
Funk band.
IAN:
Of course.
ANGELO:
The Funkateers.
IAN:
Is that even a word?
Gus and Uncle Taki eat, play with Alexander the Great cards.
GUS:
Look, Alexander the Great
conquering Mesopotamia.
(CONTINUED)
79
CONTINUED:
UNCLE TAKI:
Speaking of, be gentle with your
bride tonight.
Uncle Taki and Gus laugh their heads off.
Then -- through the side window, Gus sees Nick pull up.
And his brother PANOS, 70’s, gets out of the car.
Shocked, Gus looks at Uncle Taki and Ian.
GUS:
That’s my brother, Panos!
(scowls)
I don’t like surprises.
UNCLE TAKI:
Gus, the kids, they did it for you.
Uncle Taki takes a BOTTLE OF OUZO and SHOT GLASSES, goes out
to meet Panos.
Gus is upset.
IAN:
airline points.
GUS:
Ian, you don’t know this, you’re
not successful like me. When you
do well, you become a sign of hope
for the optimist. But to the
pessimist, you represent the stench
of their own failure. Those people
hate you for their life choices.
IAN:
It was a long time ago.
GUS:
I send him money, he sends it back.
Ian gestures for Gus to come with him outside.
CUT TO:
Ian follows as Gus comes out to greet his brother Panos.
(CONTINUED)
80
CONTINUED:
GUS:
(cordial, stiff)
Welcome.
PANOS:
Congratulations on your wedding
today.
GUS:
Thank you.
A moment goes by. It’s nice.
Taki hands the ouzo and glasses to Nick, leaves with the
suitcase.
TAKI:
Panos, I’ll put your suitcase in
the guest room.
PANOS:
Nick, you have a big house.
Suddenly Gus bellows.
GUS:
What do you mean by that?!
Ian does a double-take. Panos quickly turns back.
PANOS:
You know what I mean!
Ian gets out of the way.
GUS:
My son works hard, he deserves a
house!
PANOS:
And I don’t?!
GUS:
You could have had this -
PANOS:
I chose to stay and work in our
country! I didn’t abandon her then
and I won’t now! I’m a real Greek!
GUS:
I’m a real Greek too!
(CONTINUED)
81
CONTINUED:
(2)Trying to change the subject, Nick holds up the tray of ouzo.
NICK:
Let’s drink!
Nick pours ouzo. Panos takes a glass. Nick urges Gus to
take one too. He does. Panos raises his glass.
PANOS:
To the homeland.
GUS:
To the Patritha. And the drachma.
They drink. Suddenly Panos and Gus hug.
Nick pours another. Then-
GUS (CONT’D)
To you, Panos, my brother.
That goes a long way.
PANOS:
To you, Costa, my brother!
Ian raises his glass.
IAN:
To you, Nick, my brother.
Nick touched, hugs Ian.
NICK:
To you, Ian, my brother.
They all drink. Gus nudges Panos about Ian.
GUS:
(in Greek, subtitled)
He’s okay for a Xeno.
Ian nudges Gus.
IAN:
(in perfect Greek,
subtitled)
You’re okay for a grouchy old man.
CUT TO:

Holding a bowl, Toula runs from the kitchen to the hall.
TOULA:
Paris, you want keftethes?
Toula puts the bowl on the hall table. She opens her purse
to transfer lipstick and her phone to a cocktail purse, looks
at the Find Your Ancestry letter. Thinks.
PARIS (O.C.)
Mom?
Toula turns.
Paris is at the top of the stairs. She is dressed, her hair
and makeup are subtle and fresh... she is ready for prom.
Paris comes down the stairs. And, at the base of the stairs:
PARIS (CONT’D)
(wryly)
You’re not on the Prom Chaperone
committee?
TOULA:
Oh, they asked but I said no.
(pause)
Why, do you need me to be?!
PARIS:
God, no!
TOULA:
Okay then.
(pause)
Am I always so close, you see your
shadow as two people?
PARIS:
(gently)
Yeah.
Toula finally gets it. She nods.
TOULA:
I’m stepping back now. Go and have
a great time. Tonight... and to
college in New York. And even
though I’ve taken a step back, I’ll
always be right here.
