The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Page #3

Your high school won Nationals.

MVP. I play forward.

So I've noticed.

I'm 17.

Come on, I'll race you.

That's it.

Seven miles.

Oh, God, don't you love to run?

Yeah.

It's the best high there is.

Exactly, it's...

It's like you're just in this place where

nothing bad could ever happen, you know?

Like if you just push a bit further,

if you just keep moving...

Nothing can touch you.

Of course, the endorphins

don't suck, either.

- So Tami's feeling okay?

- Yeah.

Is she gonna do

baton twirling with you?

We don't know yet.

She might just have to hold the banner.

Sweetheart, why don't we say grace

before we start eating dinner?

- I would love to.

- All right.

Bless us, O Lord, for these,

thy gifts which we are about to receive...

...from Thy bounty,

through Christ, our Lord.

- Amen. Dig in.

- This looks great.

- I will get that.

- Oh, it's okay.

We don't answer the phone

during dinner.

Except that one time.

Tell us again how you guys met.

We've told that story so many...

- You wanna tell it?

- I don't.

- Want me to?

- All right.

- I dialed the wrong number.

- And I answered.

- Lydia answered.

- During dinner.

Just that one time.

And Lydia agreed

to go out with a stranger.

- Is that not what happened?

- Oh, no, come on. No, I did not.

- That is exactly what happened!

- We went bowling. It was so much fun.

- Do you remember you bowled a two?

- A two is a bad score.

At least I didn't get the ball

stuck on my thumb.

The water in the toilet is blue.

- Blue?

- Yes, Mom, blue.

And by the way,

doesn't Dad hate bowling?

- Bowling?

- Well, he's down here bowling.

- And he says grace.

- Grace?

He says grace, Mom.

He gives thanks to God before he eats.

We couldn't get him to go to church

with us once. Who is this guy?

- I don't even...

- You need to talk to him, Carmen.

- Just tell him how you feel.

- I do talk to him. I talk to him all the time.

Yeah, like you talk to me? No.

This is important, Carmencita.

What he did was wrong.

I'm gonna get on a plane

and I'm just gonna come down there.

Look, you'd never want him to be happy,

and that's why you blame him.

And this is gonna work out great.

It's going to be fine.

Dear Tibby...

... I think we may have been very,

very wrong about the pants.

The one time I wore them

I almost drowned...

... and then got plucked

onto a fishing boat...

... by a guy who made me touch

a live fish. It was disgusting!

At least I'm getting some

good sketching in.

I love everything about this island.

Oh, except that you're not with me.

Infinite X's and O's, Lena.

- How was town?

- Fine.

I have found this in the laundry.

Is it yours?

No, actually...

...I sort of borrowed it.

When I went down to the harbor,

I went swimming...

...and someone just lent it to me.

Oh, someone. Someone who?

A boy?

Which one? I know everyone.

Don't mind them, they're your cousins.

They're cousins too?

How many do I have?

Plenty of them.

Don't change the subject.

Out with it. Out, out.

His name is Kostas Dounas.

Dounas?

He's a Dounas?

You must never speak of them.

They are liars! They are thieves!

They are barbarians!

Your grandfather would die

if he know about this.

You must never see this boy again.

You understand?

- Yes.

- No, that's not enough.

You have to swear.

I swear.

Okay.

What am I supposed to be saying here?

Oh, just, stuff about your life.

Well, there ain't nothing

too interesting.

We're not really looking for interesting.

It's just real, you know.

- That's the point of a documentary.

- A what?

A documentary.

Like a movie, only boring.

Hi, I think this is yours.

They delivered it to my house by mistake.

They must've got

the numbers screwed up.

See, this says 721 and I'm 271.

I'm Bailey Graffman.

Yeah, you're the one that fainted

the other day, right?

- At Wallmans. I was there.

- Oh, yeah.

You're the weird girl

with the price sticker on your forehead.

Wait here, I got something for you.

It was lying next to you.

I opened it to see if there was an ID.

So you ripped off my wallet?

That's kind of like a thank you

but different.

I think I had more than $4 in here.

Do you seriously think

I would steal your money?

I opened it to see

if there was an ID in there.

Okay? There wasn't. There was a school

photo and a pathetic picture of a kitten.

So, what's in yours?

A Wallmans' employee card

or a license to ride a bike?

Excuse me, I get my learner's permit

next week and...

How old are you, like 10?

- Twelve.

- Whatever. Same difference.

No, when I was 10

I didn't have an iPod.

You're so cool. What are you listening to,

Teletubbies Hit Parade?

You woke her up. Thank you.

Must suck.

- What?

- Having to babysit on your day off.

Why are you working there, anyway?

It just so happens that I need some

extra money for new video equipment.

When I finally got around to looking

for a new job, Wallmans was the...

Why am I telling you this?

Don't you have somewhere to be?

Not really.

Looks like you got a lot already.

- Are you making a movie or something?

- More like an ode.

- To what?

- Lives of quiet desperation.

Human existence at its lamest.

- Fascinating. Maybe you need an assistant.

- Maybe I don't.

You wouldn't have to pay me or anything.

I could carry equipment and stuff.

Hi, honey.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Who's your friend?

- She's not my...

- Bailey, Bailey Graffman.

Well, I gotta go.

See you around, Tibby.

There you are.

- Hi.

- Hey.

We should play tennis tomorrow.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- In the morning?

- Yeah.

Are you ready for this, old man?

You think your knees can take it?

- You actually think you can return my serve?

- I do, Dad. I do.

- Like to put money on that?

- I'll put money on it.

- Sweetheart?

- Yeah.

I gotta meet the caterers at the hotel.

Mind stopping by Paul's game?

Sure.

Well, he's an unbelievable

soccer player.

We'll just stop for one second, okay?

- It's right on the way.

- Yeah. Yeah, okay.

- Hey.

- How are you?

Good. Didn't think your team

was scrimmaging till later today.

They're not. I just came out early

to check out the competition.

Well, you're looking at her.

You're awfully sure of yourself, huh?

When I know what I want.

You got it!

Take it down! Take it down!

What's that?!

Overtime! All right!

- Overtime, yes.

- Which one of those is yours?

Paul, Paul Rodman.

So you're the golden boy's dad.

He's a good player.

- Yeah, he is.

- Al!

Okay. Pass!

Pass, Vreeland!

Now!

Yep, nice shot.

We're not worthy!

We're not worthy!

Sub! Vreeland, you're out!

This is a scrimmage, Vreeland,

as in practice.

Everyone on the team

needs to get some.

We know you're a superstar, okay?

We got it.

Now save it for the championship.

- Who do we got, Deanna?

- Katie, you're up.

Okay, Katie, let's go, let's go!

Same thing!

Nice! Get up, Wendy!

Get there! Yes!

The hotel that's doing our wedding

had a water main break.

- The whole place is flooded.
