The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Page #4

- The repairs won't be done for months.

Oh, my God, the place

was just so perfect.

I'm never gonna find

another place in time.

We will find a place.

I'm sorry.

Lydia never had a real wedding.

My dad died just before my first and...

Come on, let's get you home.

We'll work this out.

Hey, Paul, you wanna

play tennis with Carmen?

Great shot, Paul.

- What?

- Lydia needs me, sweetie.

It'll be a chance for you

to get to know each other.

Dad, Paul doesn't talk.

Yeah, he's a little shy.

Go on. It'll be fun.

- We'll play tomorrow, okay?

- Okay.

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Oh, my gosh! Are you okay?

I'm so sorry, I'm sorry!

It's swelling. I'm so sorry.

- It's no big deal.

- We should just stop.

I'm tired anyway.

- Kalimera, Lena.

- No. I thought... I didn't...

Well, here's your shirt. Thanks again.

Lena, wait.

I was just about to take her out.

Come with me?

No. I shouldn't even be here at all.

They told you, didn't they?

You think this is funny?

Our grandparents hate each other.

You knew my name. Why didn't

you say something the other day?

Well, because the arguments of old men

have nothing to do with us.

Well, they're not arguing about nothing.

What was the fight about?

What everything here is about:

Money and fish.

My grandfather says

your grandfather cheat him.

Your grandfather says

my grandfather...

...sold him fish that make

his whole restaurant sick.

So, what's the truth?

The truth is that

it's a beautiful day and...

Why should the rest of it matter?

Because it does.

Tibby.

Tibby.

Tibby, now, I have had another complaint

of receipt withholding.

- This is your second offense and...

- You're gonna have to dock my pay.

That's right.

Also, the dress code

strictly prohibits blue jeans.

Great.

What are you doing with my stuff?

Your mom gave it to me.

I told her I was your assistant.

- You what? Wait...

- She seemed to think it was a good idea.

Okay, look, you seem like a sweet kid.

No, you seem like a pain in the ass.

But look, I have my own friends.

Three best friends. Even though

they left me here to rot this summer...

...I'm not looking for new ones.

- Neither am I.

I just think it'd be cool

to learn about filmmaking.

Besides, I think I found

a good subject for an interview.

His name is Brian McBrian,

king of "Dragon's Lair. "

I've heard he's broken

every record there is.

Okay, he's definitely not

what you'd call lame...

...but I figured he'd be a good contrast

to all the loser types in the movie.

Start setting up.

Stand next to him.

Pretend you're a fan,

like you watch him all the time.

- Right.

- And action.

Video arcade wizards are fixtures

at most convenience stores.

Brian McBrian is a fixture at this one.

"Dragon's Lair," he says...

...is his calling.

So, Brian, you spend a lot of time here?

Sometimes all day.

So you prefer to spend most

of your time here at the Quick Mart...

...instead of out in the real world?

Well, maybe he finds the world of

"Dragon's Lair" more interesting.

Tell us about it, Brian.

Well...

Basically, you're Dirk the Daring...

...in the year 1305 A.D.

See, the goal

is to rescue Princess Daphne...

...who's being guarded

by Singe, the dragon.

See, chamber number one

is the Snake Room.

- See, snakes slither from the ceiling.

- Really?

You don't even get to see the dragon

until chamber number 23!

Yeah!

- Come on, come on!

- Yeah!

Faster! Faster! Go!

He's right behind you!

- Go, go, go!

- Yeah, I got it.

- Watch this, ready?

- Run fast!

Oh, you must have run out of tape.

What about the rest of the interview?

Well, we could always

come back tomorrow, I guess.

- I mean, if that's cool with you.

- Yeah.

You all right?

Is she speaking Spanish?

- Oh, is that okay? Is that all right?

- Oh, sure! Sure.

It's just that nobody

understands it, sweetie.

Oh, come on, Dad,

you know that is not true.

He and my mom, they used to speak

Spanish all the time.

Especially when they

started being all gushy...

...and they didn't want me to understand.

- Wow, it's 9:
00?

- But I totally understood them.

- I gotta drop that check at the caterers.

Carmen, you're not gonna believe this.

We have decided to have the wedding

right here at home.

With a big party in the back yard.

Dancing under the stars.

It's gonna be perfect.

Where's Paul?

- Oh, he had an appointment.

- At the hospital?

Why would you say that?

We were playing tennis the other day,

and I hit him, but it was an accident...

- No, no. He's okay.

- He's fine.

- He just...

- He just had to do something.

Yeah.

- Dad, Dad, Dad.

- Yo.

What's going on?

Where exactly is Paul?

He's in Atlanta, honey.

Visiting his father.

His dad's in a facility.

He's an alcoholic.

Every month, Paul takes a bus

to visit him.

Krista refuses to see him.

She's not ready for that.

Lydia doesn't want to upset her

by talking about it...

...so we just say

Paul's out for the day.

Okay.

Natasha.

Olivia.

Bridget.

Polly.

- Janna.

- Oh, tampons!

That's special, Mom.

- Jo!

- Now, welcome to camp.

Diana.

Shampoo. Very, very practical.

Hamburgers.

Did you guys hear? Actually, they're

finally giving us Saturday off.

Hallelujah. Can you say "Cantina"?

Hey, where's the Cantina?

I don't know. I think somewhere

up the road. Why?

He wants me to go.

What?

He wants me to go.

Why else would he have said

that right in front of me?

This is my favorite part.

When he takes the big risk

and launches the catapult.

Bailey, come on, I'm trying to see if

there's something we can use from this.

Just one thing.

What was in the package?

Just some...

Just those pair of pants over there.

I'm sharing them

with my friends for the summer.

These?

- What's so great about an old pair of jeans?

- Nothing.

They just happen to

mysteriously fit us all perfectly.

Really?

I wonder what they'd look like on me.

On the off-chance you'd ever

let me try them on.

- Like now, for example.

- Go ahead, do whatever you want.

I need some quiet.

Tibby?

I need you to take the baby!

My Carma-poochie-ay,

I'm writing from the post office...

... and this express mail costs more

than I make in two hours at Wallmans...

... so these jeans

better get to you tomorrow.

Here we are on a typical

Bethesda corner...

...where generations of young entrepreneurs

have proved the old adage:

"When life hands you lemons,

make lemonade. "

So the question on my mind is...

...is this fresh-squeezed or powder?

- Does it matter if it's good lemonade?

- Let me ask the questions.

I'm sad to report that

nothing of consequence happened...

... while wearing the pants.

I spilled a Sprite...

... and my rat-faced manager

accused me of receipt withholding.

- Receipt withholding.

- In rat-faced manager lingo...

... that means forgetting

to give a sales slip.

You know, I was reading

that Bill Gates...

...when he was younger,

he ran a lemonade stand.

- You don't know that, that's not...
