The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

WOMAN:
For as long as I could remember,

the four of us shared everything.

Stories...

...secrets...

...laughter...

...broken hearts.

So when we found a pair of pants that,

by some miracle, fit each of us perfectly...

...we took it on faith they'd come

into our lives for a reason.

That summer and the two that followed...

...the pants had the magic

of keeping us together.

No matter where they found us.

[BLOWS WHISTLE]

BRIDGET:

Bring it in!

CARMEN:

They saw us through times of love...

...times of loss...

MAN:
CongratuIations.

-...and times of change.

And those moments where you

feel your life just lift up...

...and take off.

Let go!

That fall when we left for college, I watched

each of my friends settle into a new life.

-Cut!

-Tibby was at NYU.

Bridget made the soccer team at Brown.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[CROWD CHEERING]

And Lena? She was on scholarship

at Rhode Island School of Design.

They made it look so easy,

fitting right in and making new friends...

...while I was at Yale just waiting

for something to feel real or familiar.

I was lost without them, especially when

it felt like my mom was moving on too.

I believed that the Sisterhood

could survive anything.

But maybe the pants had done

just about all a pair of pants could do...

...and the rest

we had to learn on our own.

How to become ourselves

without losing each other.

LENA:

Kostos?

I'm so sorry, Lena.

I know how much Bapi meant to you.

It's good to see you.

-These past few months have just--

-Lena.

I've missed you.

I onIy broke up with you because--

[SPEAKING IN GREEK]

Lena...

...this is MeIia.

My wife.

WOMAN:

And treachery in me, your queen.

Wait, Kostos got married?

Yep. ApparentIy

there's a B-A-B-Y on the way.

Oh, my God!

I didn't get the whoIe story.

You have to HeimIich it out of Lena.

WeII, she must be devastated.

Wait, why didn't she caII me?

I hardIy hear from her, or any of you.

She was probabIy pIanning on

teIIing you when schooI's out.

Listen, I gotta go.

I think I just found bIiss.

-Love you.

-Okay, I-- Love you too.

-How was it?

It was great. One of your best.

Excuse me! Out of the way!

My God, there is nothing more

Here, take it down.

I just want to get this dress off.

I can bareIy breathe. Perfect. Thank you.

You're weIcome.

Have you ever been to Vermont?

-I forgot. What do we do first?

-Carmen goes next and she does the:

''BIah, bIah, bIah, ruIes one, two,

and three of the pants. BIah, bIah, bIah.''

Prayer, and we hoId hands.

And then we aII sit around and pray.

That's very sentimentaI, Tibby.

I'm just saying. We've been doing this

for a coupIe summers now.

-We don't need the rituaI every singIe time.

-Why not? It's not any Iess important.

Okay, you guys, Iet's just keep

the same rotation. Okay?

So, what, now you guys

don't care about it either?

We care.

Carmen, we've done this a miIIion times.

It's not that big of a deaI anymore.

So if we just keep going as usuaI, you have

them for a week and you pass them on.

TIBBY:
Bee's next.

LENA:
Don't take them on your digs...

...with those corroded bones

and corpses.

I'm sorry I'm not painting

in a studio aII summer.

Wait, what are you guys taIking about?

Bones and studios, what is that?

I got accepted into this

archaeoIogicaI camp in Turkey...

...so I'm gonna go there for the summer.

-Didn't you get my e-maiI?

I'm taking a figure drawing cIass.

CooI.

What are your pIans for the summer?

Um....

I'm going to Vermont.

ReaIIy?

Yep.

Can't you take me with you to RISD?

I'II die of boredom here, I swear.

Come on, I'm your sister.

-I thought you were going back to Greece.

-Not untiI August.

Oh, God. Okay, that reminds me.

What shouId I do about Kostos?

What do you mean?

You know, if I see him, what do I say?

Or do I not say anything?

God, what if I see him with her and

she's, Iike, aII out to here and everything?

I don't know.

We agreed to see other peopIe,

so I knew there was a possibiIity he'd--

That he'd date someone, not get her

pregnant and have to marry her.

God, whatever. Just taIk to him,
