CONTINUED:

Paris turns, walks past GROUPS OF TEENS. She is alone.

TOMMY:

Ooh, drama.

Toula blinks, looks up at:

A banner hangs:
COLLEGE FAIR TONIGHT.

CUT TO:

EXT. CHICAGO STREETS - DAY

The downtown Loop in the distance, the Cadillac drives

through Greek Town.

CUT TO:

I/E. GUS’S CADILLAC/CHICAGO STREETS (THE PRESENT)

Gus drives, as Toula thinks.

TOULA (V.O.)

I guess when my daughter started to

pull away, I should have stepped

back.

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL GYM - DAY (FLASHBACK)

PACKED volleyball game. Paris is a Line Judge. Wearing a

PARENT VOLUNTEER sticker, Toula works the SNACKS TABLE on the

side.

TOULA (V.O.)

But I stayed too close. I kept

volunteering at her school. I

wanted her to think I was cool

again.

Toula keeps waving to Paris, who wishes she would go away.

Then, a volleyball smacks Toula in the head. She drops. The

GYM of PEOPLE sucks in air. Paris cringes at the attention.

Toula is on the ground.

CONTINUED:

TOULA (V.O.)

Then I remembered I’ve never been

cool.

MARGE and EDIE, 40’s, the overbearing Volunteer Moms, smirk

into their hands. STUDENTS, including Tommy, are quietly

giggling. Then-

TOMMY (O.C.)

Here comes the principal.

The principal is backlit. It’s IAN MILLER, 40’s, and even

though he looks worn down by the teen years, he is handsome.

TOULA (V.O.)

My husband has always been cool.

He just has it. And he always knows

what to say.

Ian leans in.

IAN:

You okay, babe?

Toula sits up, nods, sees: Paris looks at her with disdain.

DISSOLVE TO:

I/E. GUS’S CADILLAC/CHICAGO STREETS - DAY (THE PRESENT)

Remembering this, Toula winces.

TOULA (V.O.)

Just when my daughter doesn’t want

me around anymore, my parents need

me more than ever.

Gus, driving, nods off. Toula nudges his chin, he wakes up.

Toula sees they pass the SENIORS’ REHAB CENTER.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. REHAB CENTER WAITING ROOM - ANOTHER DAY (FLASHBACK)

TOULA (V.O.)

So I take them to get groceries, to

their doctors, and to Physical

Therapy.

Toula waits:
through the glass, Gus does hip therapy.

CONTINUED:

Toula blows off dust from a peanuts bowl. Eats some.

The receptionist, DOMINIQUE, looks up.

DOMINIQUE:

The old guys suck the chocolate off

those nuts.

Toula spits nuts.

CUT TO:

I/E. GUS’S CADILLAC/OLYMPIC TRAVEL - DAY (THE PRESENT)

Gus drives past closed-down buildings, one with two tattered

signs:
OLYMPIC DRY CLEANING, and OLYMPIC TRAVEL AGENCY.

Toula sees the sign.

TOULA (V.O.)

I used to love being a travel

agent. But in a tight economy the

first things to go are luxuries

like travel and dry cleaning.
