The Other Sister Page #10

"Hat hair. "

But Cupid's arrows

overcame her dishevelled coif...

and I did fall in love with her,

very much in love.

And next month

she's going to make me...

the happiest man alive

by becoming my wife.

And now I would like to dance

to our favourite song...

"Baby, I'm Yours. "

My favourite song is

"Michelle, My Belle. "

- What? What did you say?

- Nothing.

- Baby, I'm yours

- Baby, I'm yours

- And I'll be yours

- Yours

Until the stars

fall from the sky

Yours until the rivers

all run dry

In other words, until I die

- Baby, I'm yours

- Hi.

Uh, I just... C-Caroline and Jeff...

w- would you mind

j- j-just to sit down for ju...

Olive juice.

Could you sit down as well?

- Just give him a minute.

- He might...

- All right, let's just see what he has to say.

- Maybe he has a surprise.

My name is Daniel McMahon...

and I... I'm in love

with a girl too.

A- A-A-And she...

she does not have hat hair.

- That's was a joke, Mom. - He's a stand-up

comic. It was a good joke. - Mmm. Yes.

Her... Her- Her na...

Her name is Carla Tate...

and she love... s-s-she loves me too.

And I have never had that before.

And my... my dad...

is... is, uh...

he's gonna send me to Florida.

And I want her to...

I w-w-want her to come along with me.

Oh! Wow!

- That is out of the question.

- He's just kidding.

- That is out... - Please. - Excuse me. Look

what I've done. - He's just kidding, dear.

He's full of surprises, Mom.

And we love each other so much...

that last Thanksgiving...

we did it.

And it was... it was so beautiful.

- That is not what... But he's

saying that... - Daddy. - Mark.

- Daddy, please go up there and do

something. - B-But, Mom... - O-O-Okay.

- I'd like to sing a song for her. - That's not what he

was saying... - It's okay. It's all right. It's all right.

And here's our song.

Seventy-six trombones

led the big parade

No, that's not

what it is, what...

With 110 cornets close at hand

Stop laughing!

Stop laughing at me!

Stop laughing at me!

You stop laughing at me!

- Honey. Honey. Honey.

- That's not funny, Daniel!

Honey... Baby, please...

Baby. Baby, baby. It's okay.

- It's all right.

- Stop laughing at me!

Sir. Sir, if you would

kindly step this way, sir.

Step this way, sir, please.

Uh, everybody dance, please!

Play something.

All right, Jeff, get the girls home.

We'll call you later.

- I hate what he did.

- Calm down. I know.

- I know, I know, dear.

- Charles!

- Now, just get in this car, sit down... - Where

the hell is he? - Sit down and relax. Why did...

- I don't know where Charles is. Is she okay?

- Where is he?

- I think he's probably in the restroom. -

Well... - Gary, did you see our limousine driver?

Carla, Carla, I'll be right back.

Just sit right there.

Oh, for God's sake!

Where is that man?

- Is she all right?

- Yes, she's fine!

Carla. Carla.

Why did you do that, Daniel?

- I'm s... I'm sorry.

- Why did you tell everybody our love secrets?

- I'm sorry, Car...

- No!

You made everyone laugh at me!

I'm sorry, Carla. I never... I don't... I

mean, I don't think everybody laughed at you.

I don't care if you're sorry,

Daniel!

God!

You're stupid!

What you did was stupid,

and I don't want to ever see you again!

So? I don't even care!

I never... I don't care!

I never... I don...

I don't wanna see you either!

- Shut up! Leave me alone!

- I think you're stupid too!

- I think that you're really stupid!

- Carla!

- I want you to leave me alone!

- Carla!

- Mom, make him leave

me alone. - Here. - Whoa!

- No, no, no. No, no. - Charles,

get her in the car. - You're stupid!

- No, I'm not stupid. - I'm not...

I'm not stupid! - Just go in.

- Gary! Make sure he gets home!

- I'm not... I'm not stupid!

- Get a cab. Get him home.

- I don't love him.

- I know.

- You're stupid.

- Go home, Danny. Just get in.

- Here. Good.

'Round yon virgin

Mother and child

- Let's go, Charles.

- We'll be out of here in a minute, Dr Tate.

Holy infant

so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly

- Why did he do it?

- Peace

Danny had too much to drink and he

didn't know what he was saying, pumpkin.

He didn't mean to embarrass you.

Everything is going to be fine.

It's all going to work out in the end.

I don't understand

How the sun keeps shinin'

And I don't understand

Why the seasons change

Oh, he's fine.

Yeah, he's a friend of the band.

- And I don't have a clue

- Oh, yeah. That's the kid who's leaving.

What makes the rivers flow

Loving you is all I know

I can't tell you why

The stars come out

in the evenin'

And I can't tell you

where they go

When they're gone

And I don't have a clue

What makes a flower grow

Loving you is all I know

I don't know how the world

keeps on spinnin' 'round

I don't know why the sky

don't come fallin'down

I just know that I would die

Without your touch, oh

I don't know why the tide

needs to reach the shore

I just know that I need you

for forevermore

- Knowin'that I get inside our love

- All aboard!

I don't understand

How the sun keeps shinin'

I don't understand

Why the seasons change

and change and change

And I don't have a clue

What

What makes the rivers flow

Loving you is all I know

Is all I know, is all I know

Is all I know

Loving you is all I know

All right,

let's start the rehearsal.

The groomsmen over here, and we'll

have the bridesmaids come up and...

Excuse me, but are they going

to continue to act like clowns?

Well, they're just having fun.

They're good guys.

- All right, excuse me.

- Ohh! Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, but, you know,

Cousin Anne...

she was not exactly thrilled

with her hotel accommodations.

- Hi. - Okay. - Not that she has

any idea what a hotel accommo... Oh.

- I'm sorry, who is... Are you a groomsman?

- No. This is my assistant Mark.

Okay. Cousin Anne's very happy.

Let's move on.

- All right. - Let's do move on,

all right? - Excellent. All right.

- Everybody, we're gonna start with a...

- Excuse me. Excuse me.

Would you mind if I had just a few

minutes alone with my family, please?

- Fine. - Thank

you. - Okay, listen.

- I'd just like to say that the only reason

I'm even here... - Oh, Heather. - Huh?

Is because it's Caroline's dream to have

all of her sisters at her wedding.

But this might be the very last time I

attend a family function without Michelle.

Duly noted. Let's rehearse, okay?

Come on. Let's go. Let's rehearse.

- Yeah, and if Daniel is not here...

- Dad, I mean it.

- I have no one to dance with, Mom. - You have someone you can

dance with, honey, right here. - We'll talk about this, okay? Shh.

You can dance with your cousin Theodore.

I'm sure he would love to dance with you.

You know... Hello! Guys! This... It's, like,

Danny, Michelle... Would you give me a break here?

It's the middle child's wedding.

You know what I'm saying?

- The middle child's wedding. I am the middle

child. - Caroline. - Honey. Caroline, honey.
