Father of the Bride Page #3

---

I mean, he's like you, Dad,

except he's brilliant.

He happens to love the fact

that I want to be an architect.

He wants me to design

a house for us to live in.

He said he'd move

anywhere I got a job.

Give me a little credit, George.

I'm not gonna marry some ape

who wants me to wear...

go-go boots and an apron.

I'm telling you you'll love him.

He's a genius.

And sweet.

And l-- I love him more

than anything in the world.

- What does Bryan do?

- Who's Bryan?

- I forgot his name!

- He's an independent

communications consultant.

- Independent?

- Yes.

Yeah. That's code for "unemployed." This

is perfect. You meet an unemployed...

amazingly brilliant non-ape

that I'm going to have to support.

I suppose I'm going to have to hire him

and fire some hard-working guy...

with three kids

because my son-in-law--

the, the independent

communications consultant--

can't get a job anywhere else.

No wonder he'll move

anywhere you get a job.

You're not getting married,

and that's it, and that's final.

And I don't like you calling me George.

I mean, when did this start?

Daddy, what is wrong with you?

What? You're telling me

you're happy about this ?

George, please, will you stop

acting like a lunatic father...

and go out and talk to her

before she runs out that door...

marries this kid

and we never see her again?

All right.

"Kid." How do you know he's a kid?

He could be 45 years old.

An independent

communications consultant...

does not mean

he's an unemployable non-ape.

Bryan happens to be

a computer genius.

Companies send him all over the world

hooking up these complex systems.

Major banks and corporations

send him to, to Tokyo...

and Brazil and Geneva.

I mean, he's--

He's a genius.

You mentioned that.

How old is this genius?

Twenty-six, not forty-five.

You guys still think I can't hear you

when you're one room away.

If you love him so much,

I know I'll love him too.

- Bryan?

- Mackenzie.

Bryan MacKenzie.

- Yeah.

- I can't wait to meet him.

Good, 'cause he'll be here

in an hour to meet you.

I suppose you're not in the mood

for a little one-on-one?

- Daddy, I'm wearing heels.

- Come to the right place.

I've got sunshine

On a cloudy day

When it's cold outside

I've got the month of May

-He's got it behind the back. The crowd

is going wild. The crowd is going wild.

-I guess

- It's-- It's--

- You say

What can make me feel this way

My girl, my girl

my girl

- Talkin' 'bout my girl

- Hey!

My girl, ooh-ooh

Hey, hey, hey

- Hey, hey, hey

- Yes.

- Dad!

- Yes!

Oh, travelling!

I don't need no money

Fortune or fame

I got all the riches, baby

- This is it. Eight up.

- One man can claim.
