The Other Sister Page #12

- Is everything all right?

Just... Oh! Wh...

Are you all right?

No, it's fine.

Carla, wait a minute! Wait!

Carla! Wait!

My God, this looks bad.

I better go tell the girls.

Carla, stop it! Stop! Carla!

Oh, my God.

Carla, just wait a second.

I just want you to understand!

- Carla, listen to me. Listen.

- What? What?

It's not that I don't like Danny. It has

nothing to do with whether I like Danny or not!

- Yes, it does!

- No, it doesn't.

- What's wrong with him, Mother?

- Nothing is wrong with him, Carla.

He's fine. He's perfectly fine.

I'm just asking for you to wait.

Danny's the first boy you've met,

and I think you can do better!

No, but I can't do better

because I'm not better.

- You're better. You're better.

- Stop touching me!

- You're better!

- I'm not a baby!

No, I'm not better.

I'm just me, Mom.

Can't you see me?

- I just...

- You never look at me!

And no matter

how long I wait...

I can't be a painter,

and I can't play tennis.

- And I'm not an artist.

- Okay, but I...

But I know how to do some things.

- Yes. Yes.

- And I can love.

And I love Daniel,

and he loves me very much.

I know he does,

but, Carla, I just...

don't think that

he can take care of you!

He can barely take care

of himself.

We can take care

of each other!

We don't need you, Mother!

But don't worry.

You don't have to come to my wedding.

I'll do my own wedding. I hated

everything you did for Caroline's wedding.

Okay.

I hated the dumb hats

and these dumb shoes...

and your big, ugly centrepieces.

The only thing I like is this dress.

- This is pretty.

- Okay.

I'm gonna keep it.

- Oh, my God! Come back inside, dear, please.

- No!

- I'm gonna do my wedding all by myself.

- Please, Carla.

And if you don't like Daniel,

I don't care. Don't come.

Because Daniel

will be there for sure.

- I'm going home, Mother.

- Carla, come back!

- No!

- Please!

Ohh! Oh, C...

But, Carla... Carla!

Y- Your mom's not gonna

help throw our wedding?

- No.

- Are you sure?

'Cause she... she throws

a really nice wedding.

Yes, I'm very sure.

She's not planning the wedding

because we are.

Ow! Oh, you almost got me.

- Please come to our wedding on February 14 at St Francis Church.

- Heather?

Guess what. Carla's

getting married this weekend.

The bridesmaids are going to be you,

Heather and Rachel from school.

Yes, you plan it.

I will chip in.

And some other school friends

are coming too.

Oh, tell Carla I said thank you

so much for including Michelle.

But be on time.

Daniel made a special

arrangement with the church...

and we're going to be married...

in between another wedding

and a funeral.

- It's almost time.

- Uh, yes. Yes, Winnie.

- There's your suit, Dr Tate. - Thank

you. Thank you. - It's been pressed.

- See you at the church.

- Yes.

Where were you this morning?

Carla asked me to talk to Danny

about responsibilities, about bravery.

- I'm going to that wedding, Elizabeth.

- Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna go

to that wedding.

Carla refuses to let me pay for

the wedding, but she does want me...

to walk her down the aisle,

and I'm gonna walk her down the aisle.

When you reach a certain age and

you're not talking to your children...

I think you're missing

a very important part of the journey.

You better get going.

You're going to be late.

- Hi!

- Watch your step.

- Hi.

- Hi, sweetie.

I'm so proud of you.

I love you.

That's the mother,

the boyfriend...

and the baker, Danny's boss.

That's the housekeeper

and the son-in-law.

At last

My love has come along

My lonely days are over

- Life is but a song

- I think your boy's gonna be a great baker.

Come on, come on!

- Who gives the...

- Will you turn that down?

Who gives their blessing

that this woman be wed?

I do.

You are beautiful.

Please be seated.

- Do you, Daniel McMahon, take...

- Oh... Uh... See, 'cause... 'cause...

Actually, Carla and I, we're gonna...

we're gonna do our own vows.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- You said you didn't want to do that.

- Yeah, but that was before...

w- when we didn't make it up yet.

And we came up with our own vows now,

at the last minute.

Okay... Okay, you... We... We say our vows,

and then you say your vows.

But we'll still pay you

if you don't wanna do your...

Please, just do whatever's

in your hearts.

Okay. Carla Tate?

I love you very much...

and I wanna make you happy.

And, uh, I, I take you

as my wife...

forever and forever

and forever.

And then it... it's my turn.

So...

Daniel... Daniel McMahon...

I love you very much...

and I want to make you happy...

and I take you as my wife...

That's all right.

Just try it again.

That doesn't matter.

It... It doesn't matter.

I just wanted to say...

that I love you very much...

and I wanted

to let everybody know...

and I take you

as my husband...

for the rest of my life.

That's all.

Oh, uh, uh... Just wait... One... One

moment. We have to do the rings. The rings.

- Danny.

- Now, please take this ring.

Okay, w-with this ring,

I give you my love...

and... and I...

my promise and my, my joy...

that for wherever you are,

I will always love you.

I feel exactly the same way.

Oh, wait. Just one more.

I'm sorry. One more moment.

And now, by the power

vested in me...

Here it comes.

I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

Go in peace.

Now you may do it.

Now you can kiss your bride.

Please join me in greeting

Mr and Mrs Daniel McMahon.

Yea!

- Thanks, Dad.

- Love you.

Hi!

Oh, my Carla.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, Carla.

I want you to meet my husband.

- Hi.

- I just would love to welcome you to the family.

Thank you.

Daniel... Oh!

That's very, very sweet.

- Thank you, Mom.

- Yes.

- It was such a beautiful wedding.

- Well, that's very...

That's okay. Don't worry about it.

That's absolutely fine.

- Bye, Caroline. -

Bye, sweetie. - Bye!

- Oh, congratulations.

- Bye!

- Look at her.

- It's time to meet Michelle.

- Heather would like you to meet Michelle.

- Where?

- Where is she?

- Okay, okay, okay.

- Mother?

- Michelle.

It's a pleasure

to finally meet you, Mrs Tate.

- I've heard so much about you.

- Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.

Ow. Honey,

I have birdseed in my eye.

Thank you so much.

W- Wait! Everyone...

Everybody, just...

J- Just... Wait

for a second, okay? Wait.

What are we waiting for, Daniel?

- What's going on?

- No, just wait one second, okay?

Wait.

Carla, look.

- Oh, wow!

- This is my present for my bride.

- Thank you!

- This is my present for my bride!

Look, Danny.

Walkin' Wally is walking for us!

At last

My love has come along

- Platoon, halt!

- Oh, my God. L-It's Joseph.

- My lonely days

- Eyes right!

Congratulations, Carla and Danny!

- And life is like

- Yea!

- A song - Ready,

Bye, Mom!

- Bye! - At last - Don't

worry, Mom. Everything's fine.

are running through your head
