College Road Trip Page #3

Synopsis: Melanie Porter (Raven-Symone)is a talented high school graduate who has selected a University 800 miles from home. Her over protective father, James (Martin Lawrence) doesn't want her to be so far away, so he cooks up a plot to try to convince her to go to a local University. On the guise of going to her selected university, he forces a visit to his preferred (close to home) school. This is a typical road trip movie with lost cars, bumming rides on buses and planes, covering that difficult time of life when a father loses control of his daughter.

are taking their own little trip!

Oh, my goodness. I could go with them.

They can drop me off.

It's only a couple hours from DC.

(SCREAMING)

Perfect. Problem solved.

I am so proud of you!

Thank you, Mommy, thank you!

(CAR HORN HONKS)

- Hey!

- Hey!

I'm going to Georgetown!

(SCREAMING)

Katie and Nancy.

All right, bye! Girls, be safe!

GIRLS:
(CHANTING)

Georgetown, Georgetown!

- Come on, baby. Come on.

- Perfect?

Problem solved?

What happened to our big plan?

We agreed on Northwestern.

Did you even know

she applied to Georgetown?

- I helped her fill out the application.

- What? Whose side are you on?

Both of yours. And put down that bat.

Look, you can't be on both of our sides.

Baby, Georgetown is a great school!

We don't know anyone there.

How will she begin

to take care of herself?

Because you're an amazing father,

and you showed her right from wrong

and you taught her

how to think for herself and be strong.

She's ready for this because of you!

Nice try, Michelle,

but you and I both know

it's nothing nice out there.

I know this is hard for you, but she is

not a little girl anymore. Okay?

You gotta relax. I'll see you at dinner.

I'll show you relaxed.

Are you sure

you can't go out Saturday night?

My best friend from college

is gonna be in town,

and let me tell you this,

the Wizard is the party master.

Party master?

Man, wasn't college the best?

Total freedom to do whatever you want.

What?

I had my parents convinced

I was an oceanography major

for a whole year, just so they'd pay

for spring break in Mexico!

Mexico?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Oh, man, when I think back

to half the stuff I did in college,

there's no way

I'm letting my kid out of my sight

when she goes off to college.

Not a chance.

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(LAUGHING)

- Everything okay, Chief?

- I got everything under control.

JAMES:
I'm taking three days off.

Sure hope he doesn't do

something crazy.

GIRLS:
(SINGING)

We're going on a road trip

A road trip, a road trip

(WHOOPING)

You guys, I think

we should start really early tomorrow,

because I cannot believe

we're actually going.

I can't believe

your dad's actually allowing you to go.

I've been working with him

for 17 years, all right?

And he knows,

you can be Chief at the station,

but you have to be Dad at home.

- That's right. You tell him exactly that.

- Thank you very much.

Oh!

Surprise!

Road trip, road trip! Yeah!

(HUMMING)

- Oh, no.

- Oh, no.

Mom, this is crazy!

Have you seen the thing

that we're driving in?

It's gonna be like

a thousand-mile ride-along.

No, no.

My life is a thousand-mile ride-along.

Why is he doing this to me?

Because he loves you
