My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 Page #2

ATHENA (CONT’D)

Toula, you seen these eyes? You

and Ian better fix that.

TOULA:

(nope)

Yep.

GUS:

Okay bye!

Gus drives as Athena yells out.

ATHENA:

After school you have hockey!

Your brothers are coming so make

sure you score!

Gus drives off as Aristotle blows kisses to his mom.

GUS:

You’ll score, the Greeks invented

hockey.

Paris eye rolls in the back, Toula eye rolls in the front.

But Costa and Aristotle vehemently nod.

COSTA:

Yes, because what do you play

hockey on? Ice.

ARISTOTLE:

What is the Greek word for ice.

Payo.

COSTA:

Payo, puck, there you go.

ARISTOTLE:

There you go.

GUS:

There you go....

Paris and Toula scowl out the windows of the car.

The NOSY/CRANKY NEIGHBOR, MRS. WHITE, 60’s, walks her dog and

grimaces as the Cadillac passes her. Gus good-naturedly

honks hello. Mrs. White jumps, then swears under her breath.

CUT TO:

EXT. CHICAGO SUBURBS - DAY

Gus’s Cadillac drives.

GUS (O.C.)

Now give me a word, any word and I

will show you how the root of that

word is Greek-

ARISTOTLE (O.C.)

Facebook!

CUT TO:

EXT. HIGH SCHOOL STREET/STEPS - DAY

GUS (V.O.)

The Greeks invented Facebook. We

called it the telephone.

Gus’s car pulls up. The boys head to the lower school. Toula

watches Paris get out. Of course, Gus has one more nugget of

wisdom:

GUS:

Paris, keep your eyeballs open now

for a nice Greek boy. Make babies,

don’t waste your eggs.

Toula winces. Paris can barely contain her revulsion.

PARIS:

Outstanding.

Paris turns to the high school.

Suddenly, Toula leaps from the car, grabs Paris.

TOULA:

(blurts, loud and fast)

Paris, Pappou didn’t mean to say

anything hurtful, you’re beautiful,

so beautiful, of course you don’t

look old, he just says stuff like

that, to, well, to me too, you

don’t need a boyfriend, you don’t

have to get married or have babies-

Paris side-eyes the ever-present school loudmouth TOMMY, and

the COOL STUDENTS, including TIAHN, CLIFFORD, all 17.

And, BENNETT, 17. Bennett.

Toula doesn’t see the effect he has on Paris.

Paris turns to glare at Toula.

PARIS:

(teeth gritted, sotto)

Mother.

Toula stops talking, stares at her daughter.

TOULA (V.O.)

When did my name change from--

CUT TO:

TOULA (V.O.)

Toula realizes she is holding Paris’s face. She drops her

hands.
