Toula sees Paris holding Bennett’s hand.

Paris looks over at her parents, and waves. Toula and Ian

wave back. Then take each other’s hands.

Costa, Aristotle, the male cousins descend on Bennett and

take him to the ground. Nick steps in and pushes them all

back so Paris can pass.

Theodore winks at Paris as she and Bennett go to sit with

Mana-Yiayia, who keeps an eye on THREE LITTLE KIDS sleeping

on chairs put together around the table.

Toula sees Gus is with Maria at their table, the timing is

right. She turns to Ian.

TOULA:

I have to do something.

Toula reaches into her purse, takes out the letter from Find

Your Ancestry.

Concerned, Ian follows.

TOULA (CONT’D)

Dad, here, the letter came.

Toula hands Gus the letter. He looks at her, then opens it.

And reads.

GUS:

Ah-ha, I knew it!

Gus signals for the band to stop playing. Everyone looks:

GUS (CONT’D)

Everyone! This document here, is

official! I am related to

Alexander the Great!

MARIA:

Of course!

EVERYONE is impressed, and claps. Nick stands up.

NICK:

Hey, that means we all are!!

Now EVERYONE goes nuts celebrating.

Ian turns to Toula, smiles and leans in, whispering.

IAN:

Did you write that letter?

TOULA:

Yup.

Toula sees Gus celebrating with Panos, plus his cronies from

the Rehab Center: Kaveh, Pim and Baird.

The Band plays again, Toula and Ian join the line and dance

in a circle.

The FAMILY follows, passing Athena, Nikki, Ilaria, Marianthi

and Jennie as they pose for a picture, pulling each other’s

necks back.

MARIANTHI:

Pull.

FLASH.

CUT TO:

EXT. PORTOKALOS HOUSE - NIGHT, LATER

The GREEK MUSIC is loud.

Mrs. White, Marge and Edie, stand in front of the Portokalos

home. Their body stance is a tad wistful.

The door opens, Toula lets out the dog, sees the women...

MRS. WHITE

It’s loud.

Toula takes a moment to think. Then-TOULA

Do you want to join us?

Mrs. White, Marge and Edie look at each other.

EDIE:

Well, I could eat a little

something.

MARGE:

I’m thirsty.

The women walk toward Toula. Toula waves them in.

Establishing.

CUT TO:

INT. N.Y.U. DORM - DAY

Paris sits on her bed, happily looking around her sparse

room. Just a New York University poster is on the wall.

Her roommate, ELIZABETH, 18, looks up.

ELIZABETH:

I’m Elizabeth.

PARIS:

Paris.

A moment goes by. Then....

ELIZABETH:

Um, are they staying?

WIDEN to reveal:
Toula, Ian, Maria, Gus, Aunt Voula, Uncle

Taki, Nick, Ilaria, Athena, Yianni, Angelo and Nikki are

there. Toula realizes they are staring.

TOULA:

Okay!

IAN:

We’re going.

The family quickly leaves gifts, (Gus’s is Windex), kisses

Paris, and they go.

Ian pulls Toula toward the door.

Toula looks back once at Paris. And smiles.

TOULA:

Bye.

Toula closes the door.

FADE OUT.
