The Other Sister Page #11

Synopsis: When Carla Tate, now a young woman, is 'graduated' out of the training school where she has resided for many years because she is mentally challenged, her hope is that she will be accepted for all that she can now do for herself. But Carla's family is wealthy which permits her mother, already blinded to her daughter's rather high-functioning abilities, to try and provide for Carla beyond her needs or desires, bringing forth the inevitable confrontations... for what Carla may lack in mental ability she certainly makes up for in her insistence on being independent, even to living in her own apartment. But if this isn't enough, into the mix comes a young man, equally challenged mentally, who moves Carla beyond anyone's control...

- Honey, we know that. - My wedd...

No! - No, no, excuse me. - Calm down.

- I think it's just as important that I have somebody here that I want here. That's all I'm saying.

- All you do... Danny and Michelle...

- My wedding comes once in a lifetime.

- Listen to me for one minute.

- Come here. Come here. - This

is ridiculous. - Listen to me.

- Be quiet! - Please.

Everybody, please. - Shh!

This is a Tate family wedding.

I'm very proud of that.

And, Caroline,

I'm very proud of you.

But we have hundreds of guests

and family who are attending...

so I think it would behove us

to suppress the minutiae...

long enough to show everybody

how proud we are to be Tate family.

- Now, let's rehearse.

- Well said. Well said.

But my favourite actor's Dustin Hoffman. Did... Did

you... Did you ever see that movie, The Graduate?

Is that the one where, uh, he's in a

dress, or is that the one with the camels?

- Deming. This station is Deming. Next stop is El Paso.

- And then... And then...

And then s-she goes off to get, get married

to somebody else, and see... and see...

Dustin knows

that she still loves him.

A- A-And...

And then he gets

all confused and, and mixed up...

and then... and then he goes

and he tries to rescue her.

All aboard!

All aboard!

- Do, do-do-do, do-do do-do, do-do-do-do,

do - O-Okay. Okay, bye! I'll see you later.

Nice talking to you.

Uh... I-I-I

was going to Florida...

and I-I-I changed my mind, and I want...

I wanna go back to San Francisco.

Do, do-do-do, do-do

do-do, do-do-do-do, do

You want to exchange

your ticket?

Yes! Yes, I want...

Um, okay. Okay.

And here's to you

Mrs Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know

Hey, hey, hey

- Do Flipper! - God, you're

a freak. - Hey, hey, hey

- Yea! Yeah! Do more, Heather.

- No.

I'm not doing any more. Can we just

play, like, another game or something?

Yeah, but I don't wanna play...

Pin the Penis

on the Naked Guy again.

- Yeah, I'll second that.

- Come on, you guys! This is fun.

I mean, we gotta have fun.

This is my last night single.

God bless you, please

Mrs Robinson

Heaven holds a place

for those who pray

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

- You go, Carla.

- Okay. Now it's my turn.

I wish I could

see Daniel again.

- Oh, Carla, don't be sad.

- Oh, Carla, don't get sad.

- Come on. You gotta be happy. This is my sisters happy night thing.

- No.

But I wish I could see him

again just for a little second...

to tell him

that I don't hate him.

Where have you gone

Joe DiMaggio

A nation's turns

its lonely eyes to you

Whoo-whoo-whoo

What's that you say

Mrs Robinson

Joltin'Joe has left

and gone away

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hi. You look like you need a ride.

Come on. Dad says it's okay.

- O-Okay.

- Hi. I'm Jenny.

- You want a pretzel or a marshmallow?

- Yeah, thank you.

I'm really hungry.

Who presents this woman

to be married?

- We do.

- We do.

- Please be seated.

- Okay.

Thanks, Fred!

Thanks for the ride!

Excuse me. The soup kitchen

is around in the parish hall.

But it won't be open until 5:00.

But I-I, see, I don't...

I don't want any soup.

- L-I came to see a girl in the wedding.

- I don't think so.

- But can I... Carla...

- I said I don't think so.

Okay.

I give you this ring

as a symbol of my vow.

I give you this ring

as a symbol of my vow.

And with all that I am

and all that I have...

And with all that I am

and all that I have...

I honour you

in the name of God.

I honour you

in the name of God.

The union of husband

and wife in heart...

body and mind is...

- Ginger. - What?

- Intended...

- by God for their mutual joy. - Did you

just throw something at my head? - No.

And for the health

and-and comfort...

gi... given one another in...

- prosperity... - Radley, what is

going on? - Someone's throwing...

Well, what on Earth

is this happening?

And for the gift

and heritage of children.

- Is this your idea of a joke?

- They are laughing right now...

- Please, this is not funny.

- At the wedding.

But to reverently and

deliberately in accordance...

with the purposes for which

it was instituted by God.

Danny?

Daniel.

- Carla Tate.

- Daniel!

- What?

- Oh, my God, it's Daniel.

Meet you out front

in the lobby.

Mark, the homeless boy

is up in the organ balcony.

I'm gonna go back down.

- What are they up to?

- Okay.

- Don't make trouble.

- Whoa!

- No. Is he all right?

- Daniel? Are you okay?

I think...

He seems to be okay.

I don't wanna be apart

ever again, Daniel.

- Yeah, never again.

- I love you.

Carla, Carla.

I wa-wa-want to get married.

I want... I want to spend... I want

to spend the rest of my life with you.

You know, I thought our worst problem

was gonna be parking.

Carla Tate, will you marry me?

Did he say marry her?

- Just call up...

- Winnie, not right now!

Yes, I will, Daniel McMahon.

Daniel, stand right here.

- Okay.

- And a little bit quiet.

- Just be quiet.

- This is good. It's like Where's Waldo?

E- Excuse me, um... Mother,

could you say something, please?

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm...

I'm so terribly sorry...

for this slight inconvenience, but

you know how children will be sometimes.

In any event, I think we should proceed

with our very lovely ceremony...

and Carla will retire

as a bridesmaid...

and she will come and join us with

Daniel, and we will finalize these vows.

- Well done.

- Thank you. You have been fabulous!

Love is in the air.

Ladies and gentlemen, as

best man of these festivities...

it is my one duty of the evening

to make a toast.

To the bride and groom!

Go along. It's all right.

Have a good time, all right?

- Elizabeth, it should have been filmed for a TV special.

- Hi!

- And that boy jumping off the balcony!

- Oh, wasn't that... Well, well, we didn't exactly plan that.

- We're gonna be calling you Granny soon.

- Well, I hope so. Oh, what's the matter?

She broke her shoe.

I can't take her anywhere.

It's all right.

- Mom?

- Yes?

- Is it time to plan another wedding?

- Radley!

- Uh, I don't think you need...

- I know that you don't like Daniel now...

but in time...

Oh! Everything's perfect,

and your daughters are so beautiful.

- I know they are beautiful, Mary.

- But don't you have a son?

No, no.

Cousin Vivian has a son.

- Oh! Thank you.

- Vivian. Yes. That's very... Okay.

- Mom.

- What, honey?

- You do like him?

- Oh, I like him. It's just I don't know if you're ready...

- Hi, Radley. - Did you think so? -

You don't think I'm ready to be married?

Oh, Carla.

Will you please listen to me?

Please listen

to what I'm saying.

When you think you're in love, your eyes

are closed to all logic and reason.

- It's not the time to make a big decision.

- No, but my eyes are not closed, Mother!

Dear, Carla,

we can have this discussion...

without you getting upset

in front of everybody, Carla.

- My eyes are not closed, Mother!

- Please, Carla.

- Carla!
