The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) Edit

A documentary.

A Wallmans' employee card or a license to ride a bike?

Actually, I'm saving them for when I'm stuck doing time at Wallmans...

Actually, we live together.

Adissa, Jessica, red.

After my mom died, a few of the teachers thought...

Aisle seven.

All passengers, this is the final boarding call...

All right.

All right.

Also, the dress code strictly prohibits blue jeans.

Although, now that I think of it...

Am I the only one who's not culturally deprived?

And all the things that I was trying to run away from...

And as we all know, obsessed girls cannot be responsible for our actions, can we?

And as we mourn the loss of this beloved wife, mother and friend...

And besides, your week isn't up.

And by the way, doesn't Dad hate bowling?

And Carmen is brilliant, but she doesn't know it.

And from this window, the most beautiful view.

And guess who was the freak.

And her and her mom, they're like Sunshine Twins on uppers...

And hopefully we can dig up some extra fabric.

And I didn't... I don't...

And I know that if you let them, they'll bring you some too.

And I know... You just seem so happy about being Paul and Krista's dad...

And I wish you the very best of luck on this endeavor.

And I'm invoking it now.

And I'm proposing that we share them equally...

And if I'm not sad...

And into a development? Dad, you hate developments.

And it never occurred to you she might be built differently.

And Krista, she's this perky little...

And Lydia agreed to go out with a stranger.

And not having enough of it.

And seven. Anyone feel any kicking?

And that's how it always was with us:

And the sisterhood.

And the sisterhood.

And then I met someone who changed everything...

And then tell me that we were gonna be closer?

And this is gonna work out great. It's going to be fine.

And this moment, and the rest of our lives.

And this summer...

And this... Yes, this needs some serious work here.

And Tibby and Bridget too.

And we were laughing the whole time.

And we were there for those too.

And we're not gonna let you go anywhere, okay?

And what do you see?

And what if nothing exciting happens?

And what was I?

And when it happens, and we reunite...

And who we'll be.

And why are you giving me this hypocritical lecture...

And you know what?

And you risked everything for it.

And you should finish it.

Anderson, Alice, green.

Any removal of the pants must be done by the wearer herself.

Anyway, friends?

Anyway, I do hope that they bring you better luck than they did me.

Anyway, look, we're gathered here today...

Are you embarrassed?

Are you ready for this, old man? You think your knees can take it?

Are you scared?

As much as she wanted to, she couldn't find it.

At least I didn't get the ball stuck on my thumb.

At least I'm getting some good sketching in.

At the Frederick Law Olmstead exhibit at the Smithsonian.

August 19th.

Awesome. You know Baskin Robbins?

Bailey, come on, I'm trying to see if there's something we can use from this.

Bailey's in the hospital, sweetheart. Her mom called.

Barbara, I'm so sorry.

Basically, you're Dirk the Daring...

Beautiful dress! Love it.

Because I'm wallowing in self pity.

Because it does.

Because of what I'm holding.

Because you can.

Because you can't wash the pants.

Because you know they'll always love you, no matter what.

Because, Tibby, I don't think there was a single conversation...

Because...

Bee, how do you know that?

Bee, I can't wear a pair of jeans to a wedding.

Bee, you don't have to prove that to anybody.

Been here long?

Besides, I think I found a good subject for an interview.

Bless us, O Lord, for these, thy gifts which we are about to receive...

Bo, Natalie, red.

Boo hoo, Tibby. You are such a drama queen.

Brian came by yesterday and dropped it off.

Brian McBrian is a fixture at this one.

Bridget just lights everything up. She makes everything more fun.

Bridget liked to take charge.

Bridget.

Bridget.

But are you just asking because you feel sorry for me?

But I don't care.

But I'm just here for the summer. I'm staying with my grandparents.

But if you don't dance with me, I might have to start.

But looking back now...

But mostly give.

But thank you again for saving my life.

But that never happened.

But then again...

But then you realize that that's why it's beautiful.

But wait a minute, I'm getting ahead of myself.

But you already knew that, eh?

But, I mean, if you're, like, shooting squirrels or something like that...

But, Tibby...

Call me crazy, but it's scientifically impossible...

Can we burn it?

Can't buy anything new at a vintage store.

Can't you give me a bit more enthusiasm?

Carmabelle, come on, we're gonna be late.

Carmen, go ahead, just finish what you have to say.

Carmen, honey. Carmen!

Carmen, please come out.

Carmen, that's so unnecessary. Why not?

Carmen, this is Krista and this is Paul.

Carmen, you try them on.

Carmen, you're not gonna believe this.

Carmen?

Carmen.

Carmen.

Come again?

Come back.

Come here.

Come on, come on, "r·pido!"

Come on, I'll race you.

Come on, let's get you home. We'll work this out.

Come on!

Couple of weeks ago, she saw I was having a bad time of it...

Dad, I'm not dressed, I...

Dad, it's Carmen.

Dad, Paul doesn't talk.

Dad, why does Paul visit his alcoholic dad every month...

Dancing under the stars. It's gonna be perfect.

Dear Bridget...

Dear Tibby, my heart is too full to write about it just now.

Dear Tibby...

Dearly beloved...

Dearly beloved...

Diana.

Did I mention he's one of the coaches and 100 percent off limits?

Did you guys hear? Actually, they're finally giving us Saturday off.

Did you lose these?

Do you dance better than you swim?

Do you guys realize what this means?

Do you seriously think I would steal your money?

Does this mean there's gonna be a ceremonial burning of the smock?

Don't even think about it. It's against the rules to have flings with the coaches.

Don't forget to steer. That's good.

Don't make me mention it again.

Don't mind them, they're your cousins.

Don't you answer your phone anymore?

Don't you know all the beaches in Greece are nude?

Don't you?

Dounas?

Each sister is going to keep the pants for...?

Especially when they started being all gushy...

Every month, Paul takes a bus to visit him.

Everything got screwed up, and I snapped. And I don't care, and...

Everything.

Exactly, it's...

Except that one time. Tell us again how you guys met.

Excuse me, I get my learner's permit next week and...

Excuse me?

Experiments? That's so cool.

Faster! Faster! Go! He's right behind you!

Fault?

Finish your movie.

Found it a couple of years ago, poor thing.

Frankly, I think we're better off just starting from scratch on this one.

Gee, I don't know...

Get back here, now! I mean it!

Get over these thighs.

Girl down.

Give and take.

Give me your hand.

Go ahead.

Go.

God, I envy you.

Good?

Great shot, Paul.

Great.

Grief is never an easy burden to bear.

Hallelujah. Can you say "Cantina"?

Hamburgers.

HAnd with that, we could get through anything.

He and my mom, they used to speak Spanish all the time.

He makes you drunk.

He said it wasrt as good as the real thing...

He says grace, Mom. He gives thanks to God before he eats.

He wanted to make sure you got home okay.

He wants me to go.

He wants me to go.

He works, you know.

He's a pretty decent guy, Brian is.

He's an alcoholic.

He's in Atlanta, honey.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Her English isn't real good.

Here it is. I asked the school to postpone sending this...

Here we are on a typical Bethesda corner...

Here you go.

Here you go.

Here. Hold them for me, will you?

Hey, baby.

Hey, Carmen.

Hey, come on, I'll race you.

Hey, do you know who would have loved this P, Bee? Your mom.

Hey, how did your suckumentary turn out?

Hey, I actually stacked my last shelf at Wallmans, thank you very much.

Hey, Paul, you wanna play tennis with Carmen?

Hey, pierce alert, pierce alert.

Hey, who's that?

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Hey there, sleepyhead.

Hi, honey.

Hi, I think this is yours. They delivered it to my house by mistake.

Hi, this is Tibby. Here comes the beep. Hopefully you know what to do with it.

Hi.

Hi.

His name is Brian McBrian, king of "Dragors Lair."

His name is Kostas Dounas.

How much we needed some little bit of faith to hold onto...

How old are you, like 10?

Human existence at its lamest.

I also work part time over at the Sweet Shoppe across the way.

I am going to South Carolina. That is only, like, three states away.

I am mad at my dad.

I am mad at my dad.

I beg your pardon?

I brought something for you.

I can't.

I can't.

I changed my mind, guys. I can't do this.

I come back to live with my grandfather.

I did that one time.

I didn't mean to mess up the whole interview.

I didn't throw a rock at him, I threw it at them!

I do it all the time. I'm so used to it. People wash their sheets all the time.

I do not.

I don't know if I've ever seen anyone...

I don't know, but it's really starting to freak me out.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I think somewhere up the road. Why?

I don't remember you telling me you moved.

I feel like...

I feel so tired.

I felt like I was living in some freak show known as "The Land of the Blonds."

I go to the university in Athens.

I go to the university in Athens.

I gotta meet the caterers at the hotel. Mind stopping by Paul's game?

I had no idea her father would be so off when he guessed her size.

I have a surprise for you.

I have a surprise for you.

I have found this in the laundry.

I have put the most special sheets and lace.

I have to go. I should go.

I have to talk to you about something.

I just came to sketch that old church over there.

I just think it'd be cool to learn about filmmaking.

I just wanted to say that what happened between us...

I just wish so much I could talk to my mom.

I just...

I know it sounds boring...

I know that you're tired, okay, but you can't give up.

I know, but that doesn't really matter. You know?

I know.

I know. Isn't he gorgeous?

I liked it because, when you first look at it...

I love everything about this island.

I mean, as hard as it is to be sad about it...

I mean, I don't blame them for what happened, but...

I mean, I love it when you come for Christmas...

I mean, I really should go.

I mean, this is where our moms met, right?

I mean, you have a strength in you that your mom never had.

I moved out of Charleston.

I need some quiet.

I need to say something to you.

I need you to take the baby!

I need you.

I opened it to see if there was an ID in there.

I remember thinking that maybe there won't be any more bad spells.

I remember this one time she decided that she'd make one herself.

I should have told you about them before, and I'm sorry.

I spilled a Sprite...

I swear.

I talked and he wrote.

I think I had more than $4 in here.

I think I know who I wanna be.

I think I'll never see you, my Lena.

I think I'm gonna start my own genre, call it the "suckumentary."

I think that tonight we're the sisters of these "pantalones."

I thought I'd never see you again.

I thought you were looking forward to "El Campo de F˙tbol."

I told her you usually slept late...

I told you the smell of junk food would wake her up.

I usually do it myself anyway.

I want you to do something for me.

I was just about to take her out. Come with me?

I was just sitting in the kitchen doing my homework...

I was looking for you, actually.

I wish that were enough, Dad.

I wonder what they'd look like on me.

I'd like to think that fate had a hand in what happened that summer.

I'll come over first thing tomorrow.

I'll go by there if I have time.

I'll handle this.

I'll let her know.

I'm 17.

I'm afraid of what I'll miss.

I'm glad you called.

I'm gonna be fine, Mom.

I'm gonna cook that for you. And "pl·tanos" too.

I'm gonna get on a plane and I'm just gonna come down there.

I'm just fed up, and I can't be here...

I'm kind of jealous of her.

I'm like, "Get a life, Ma," you know?

I'm never gonna find another place in time.

I'm not drinking.

I'm sad to report that nothing of consequence happened...

I'm sharing them with my friends for the summer.

I'm so sorry, Tibby. What I said, it was not nice.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I can't.

I'm sorry...

I'm still waiting for Carma poochie ay to send me the pants.

I'm sure Barbara can work on this for you.

I'm sure they were just excited.

I'm tired anyway.

I'm wrong about most people, so...

I've never known that kind of faith.

I've never told anyone that before.

I've never wanted anything this much in my entire life.

If it's that important then my dad would tell me that himself.

If you wanna go to Greece looking like Laverne De Fazio.

In fact, we were a foursome before we were born.

In the event of an emergency...

In the name of the Father, the Son...

In this life...

Infinite X's and O's, Lena.

Is it really them you're afraid of?

Is it yours?

Is she gonna do baton twirling with you?

Is that her?

It does not mean nothing to break the hearts...

It had pralines, blueberries and a whole bunch of graham crackers.

It happened just how I always imagined it would.

It hurts too much.

It is a wedding, and I do want it to look uniform.

It just so happens that I need some extra money for new video equipment.

It makes me so sad that people like Kostas and Bridget...

It makes our butts look good. That's enough for me.

It sucks.

It was awful, and I'm sorry.

It was great.

It was lying next to you. I opened it to see if there was an ID.

It was more like the entire contents of our refrigerator on a round crust.

It was nothing! We were just dancing!

It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer.

It'll be a chance for you to get to know each other.

It's "Dragors Lair."

It's a fish market.

It's abandonment, nevertheless. I hate you all.

It's about time you showed up.

It's Bethesda Memorial. I tried calling you.

It's called leukemia.

It's gonna be okay, Carmen.

It's just that nobody understands it, sweetie.

It's like you traded me and Mom in for something that you thought was better...

It's like you're just in this place where nothing bad could ever happen, you know?

It's more that I'm afraid of time.

It's my fault.

It's okay to miss her, Bee.

It's perfect in all its loneliness.

It's swelling. I'm so sorry.

It's the best high there is.

It's the fact that you've found yourself this new family...

It's what the school shrink called me.

Just one thing.

Just some experiment from their hippie days...

Just some...

Just stay on the phone with me until you fall asleep.

Just tell me, Dad, what did I do wrong?

Just those pair of pants over there.

Kind of got used to having her hanging around.

Kostas Dounas.

Kostas!

Kostas. What are you doing here?

Krista refuses to see him.

Lena Kaligaris has a body!

Lena Kaligaris.

Lena Kaligaris. Then you are Greek too, eh?

Lena Kaligaris...

Lena should be first because Greece is the furthest away.

Lena, don't you realize this is tragedy?

Lena, I don't think he's coming back this time.

Lena, no one sits near a smelly fish market...

Lena, wait.

Lena!

Lena. I think I'll die and never see my Lena.

Let's go.

Life?

Like a movie, only boring.

Like if you just push a bit further, if you just keep moving...

Listen, you have to take them, Bailey.

Look, you'd never want him to be happy, and that's why you blame him.

Looks good on you.

Looks like you got a lot already.

Love your sisters and love yourself.

Luck was on his side today.

Lydia doesn't want to upset her by talking about it...

Lydia never had a real wedding.

Maggie!

Maggie! Morning.

Maggie.

Mags!

Maria can certainly do your sheets, not a problem.

Marsden, Olivia, red.

Maybe I'll go for a walk, get some fresh air.

Maybe later, Dad. I'm pretty tired from the trip.

Maybe she'll just be happy like this forever.

Maybe that's what strikes me most about Kostas.

Maybe we just get through it...

Maybe.

Me too.

Miss you too.

Mom taught me how to make "arroz con pollo."

Mom, please.

Money and fish.

Must suck.

MVP. I play forward.

My Carma poochie ay, I'm writing from the post office...

My dad died just before my first and...

My deepest sympathies. Bridget.

My grandfather says your grandfather cheat him.

My parents were married in that church...

My thighs.

Natasha.

Nice! Get up, Wendy! Get there! Yes!

No fair attacking the driver.

No picking your nose when wearing the pants.

No, actually, Duncan took the smock, but I do have my nametag.

No, actually...

No, Carmen, come over here and look at yourself.

No, Dad, you don't know.

No, don't say anything.

No, I have a better one. No double cuffing.

No, it's not exactly nearby.

No, no, no. Don't be silly.

No, Tib, can you pretend to be on my side?

No, when I was 10 I didn't have an iPod.

No, you seem like a pain in the ass. But look, I have my own friends.

No.

No. I shouldn't even be here at all.

No. That's okay.

Not now, Maggie.

Not of dying, really.

Not really.

Nothing can touch you.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Now save it for the championship.

Now you know why I was so afraid of you going there.

Now, you're gonna let it out very slow.

Now!

Of course you did.

Of course, the endorphins don't suck, either.

Oh, come on, Dad, you know that is not true.

Oh, except that you're not with me.

Oh, jeez! I gotta get back to work. Duncars gonna have a hissy fit.

Oh, just, stuff about your life.

Oh, man, you were right, and I was wrong, but I'm...

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Oh, my God, Lena, look at you.

Oh, my God, the place was just so perfect.

Oh, my God, they're finally here.

Oh, my gosh! Are you okay?

Oh, my parents moved to the U.S. Too.

Oh, no.

Oh, someone. Someone who?

Oh, sweetheart...

Oh, you must have run out of tape.

Okay, Bridget.

Okay, Carmen, it's your turn.

Okay, good.

Okay, he's definitely not what you'd call lame...

Okay, here, I'll show you.

Okay, Katie, let's go, let's go!

Okay, ladies, time to call out the cavalry.

Okay, look, you seem like a sweet kid.

Okay, pants equal love.

Okay, Paul, he doesn't talk. He didn't say a word.

Okay, right.

Okay, rule number one:

Okay? There wasrt. There was a school photo and a pathetic picture of a kitten.

Okay? You have to let them help you.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Pass!

On the off chance you'd ever let me try them on.

One, and relax. Good work.

One, two, three!

Or can't you see that?

Or is it something else?

Or that, unlike you and your daughter, she has an ass...

Or the ones we didn't want to face at all.

Others try to hide their beauty...

Our mothers met at a prenatal aerobics class.

Out with it. Out, out.

Overtime! All right!

Pass, Vreeland!

Paul, Paul Rodman.

People have always said to me that I take after Yia Yia...

Pick it up!

Please, God, let me sprain my ankle as soon as possible.

Please.

Plenty of them. Don't change the subject.

Polly.

Pretend you're a fan, like you watch him all the time.

Problem is...

Put your hand close.

Put your hand on my hand.

Quiet and stubborn and afraid of showing too much.

Relax. All right.

Right, right. Way out.

Right.

Same thing!

Sassy britches.

Say, what do you say we go to Mario's to celebrate your homecoming?

Say, you're a real natural with that thing.

See you around, Tibby.

See you later.

See, chamber number one is the Snake Room.

See, the goal is to rescue Princess Daphne...

See, this says 721 and I'm 271. I'm Bailey Graffman.

Seven miles.

Shampoo. Very, very practical.

She always woke up starving after one of her episodes.

She drives you crazy.

She said that we were right all along, that they really are magic, and...

She sure was until she found out it was girls only.

She's at the doctor's.

She's just tired. She's been there a really long time, all day.

She's kind of special that way, huh?

She's not ready for that.

She's precious. Like a jewel.

Shy and beautiful Lena.

So are you gonna put them on yourself, or are we going to have to do it for you?

So he may not have that much time to spend with you.

So how do you know English so well?

So I hear you go to Columbia.

So I met with a guy.

So I was thinking, you know, maybe you could have them for a while.

So I've noticed.

So if you get lonely, come home, okay?

So most exciting thing that happens to you.

So that we...

So the question on my mind is...

So this is the view from my window.

So who told you?

So why do I feel this way, Lena?

So you found a hottie after all, huh?

So you prefer to spend most of your time here at the Quick Mart...

So you ripped off my wallet?

So, Brian, you spend a lot of time here?

So, Roberta, what do you like best about working here at Wallmans?

So, what are you doing here?

So, what's in yours?

So, what's the truth?

Some people show off their beauty...

Some things never would be.

Somebody call an ambulance!

Somebody help!

Somehow we would always find our way back to each other.

Sometimes all day.

Sometimes, that worked in our favor.

Sorry to wake you...

Sorry, could you... Hold that thought for one minute. I'm sorry.

Sorry, young lady, no more holes.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Stand next to him.

Start setting up.

Sub! Vreeland, you're out!

Sure, he probably could have handled it better...

Sweetheart, why don't we say grace before we start eating dinner?

Take care, and be sure to write, huh?

Take it down! Take it down!

Take those out right now and try these on.

Tell us about it, Brian.

Thank you.

Thank you. A manifesto.

Thanks for lending me a shirt.

Thanks.

That despite everything he's suffered...

That it was the pants' destiny to find us.

That was your chance, Papou. And I'm asking now to have mine.

That's cool.

That's good.

That's it.

That's just it, you've never known...

That's kind of like a thank you but different.

That's pretty impressive.

That's right.

That's special, Mom.

The first one out of the gate was Bridget.

The hotel that's doing our wedding had a water main break.

The important thing is...

The magic's not sanitary.

The most sacred.

The one time I wore them I almost drowned...

The other one's name, it's Carmen.

The rest of us followed within the week.

The Traveling Pants.

The truth is that it's a beautiful day and...

The water in the toilet is blue.

There has to be.

There were some things we would never make sense of.

There you are.

There's a part of me that wants to let him in...

There's an important member of our family...

These pants will give you a miracle.

These?

They are liars! They are thieves! They are barbarians!

They hire these ice cream scientists...

They just happen to mysteriously fit us all perfectly.

They make things happen.

They must've got the numbers screwed up.

They really didn't have anything in common...

They told you, didn't they?

They were killed in a car accident...

They're not kids, they're teenagers, just like you.

They're not. I just came out early to check out the competition.

They're out of their minds.

They've got one of them...

Think I'll run home.

This entire thing. About you, and Lydia and the kids...

This is crazy.

This is George and George Junior.

This is important, Carmencita. What he did was wrong.

This is my favorite part.

This is the foot brake.

This is the perfect pizza.

This is where I sell my fish.

Thrilling footage on how to stack deodorant.

Tib, it's me, it's Carmen. I'm coming home.

Tibby forgot to take her happy pill this morning.

Tibby, he didn't handle it at all.

Tibby, the rebel.

Tibby, those look so great on you. Why can't you just admit it?

Tibby, you look amazing. Turn around. Look at you!

Tibby, you're a babe!

Tibby! I thought I made it perfectly clear...

Tibby?

Tibby.

Time to figure out who I'm supposed to be...

To the pants.

To us. Who we were, and who we are.

Together and apart.

Together, it was as if we formed one single, complete person.

Told me what?

Tonight, on the eve of our separation...

Too bad you can't express mail 12 year olds.

Took me weeks before I got the hang of it.

TouchÈ!

Tucking in your shirt and wearing a belt at the same time.

Turn your back on them...

Usually a roughly constructed prototype works as a starting point, but in this case...

Very slow.

Video arcade wizards are fixtures at most convenience stores.

Vreeland, Bridget, red.

Vreeland, Bridget, red.

Wait, where are we?

Way to go, Lena.

We can only take comfort in the fact that she is in a better place now...

We can tell everybody that Carmers Puerto Rican.

We couldn't get him to go to church with us once. Who is this guy?

We don't answer the phone during dinner.

We don't know yet. She might just have to hold the banner.

We have decided to have the wedding right here at home.

We have invited ourselves over for a sleepover.

We know you're a superstar, okay? We got it.

We need rules. Every sisterhood has rules.

We should play tennis tomorrow.

We were 16 and had never been apart. And all that was about to change.

We were playing tennis the other day, and I hit him, but it was an accident...

We were there for each other...

We were there for the things we couldn't face alone.

We will find a place.

We will fix the hem on Krista's...

We will never, ever wash these pants.

We'll be doing interviews, right? Talking to people...

We'll just stop for one second, okay?

We'll just take the hem up and it'll be perfect.

We're getting married.

We're not really looking for interesting. It's just real, you know.

We're not won'thy! We're not won'thy!

We've secured a spot in the playoffs, we're gonna shake it up a little.

We've told that story so many...

Wear them well. Love you, Carmen.

Wear them. They'll make you brave.

Well, because she knows who she is.

Well, because she knows who she is.

Well, he's an unbelievable soccer player.

Well, here's your shirt. Thanks again.

Well, I didn't exactly tell you to slow down.

Well, I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, I gotta go.

Well, I lived with my parents in Chicago until I was 12.

Well, I might've been showing off for you just a little bit.

Well, is she gonna be okay?

Well, it actually evolved into something quite different than I expected, so...

Well, it's hard to explain.

Well, maybe he finds the world of "Dragors Lair" more interesting.

Well, maybe some other time.

Well, maybe sometimes it's easier to be mad at the people you trust.

Well, me too. His name is Eric.

Well, then you should talk to us.

Well, there ain't nothing too interesting.

Well, they're not arguing about nothing. What was the fight about?

Well, Tibby kind of marches to her own drum.

Well, we could always come back tomorrow, I guess.

Well, we'll have to work on that, won't we?

Well, what have you heard about me?

Well, your mom told me about your friend Bailey.

Well...

What about the rest of the interview?

What am I supposed to be saying here?

What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here.

What are you doing with my stuff?

What are you doing? Stop!

What aren't you guys understanding? I am not going.

What do you get in this box?

What do you mean?

What everything here is about:

What is she doing in there?

What is she doing right there? Tell me.

What is that?

What made you choose to paint this?

What was in the package?

What were they thinking, having another baby at their age?

What you were saying the other day, about me being afraid?

What?

What?

What?

What? Are you gonna wash the magic out of the pants?

What's going on?

What's here?

What's that?

What's that?!

What's your best one so far?

What's yours do?

When did I say that?

When he takes the big risk and launches the catapult.

When I finally got around to looking for a new job, Wallmans was the...

When I found your letter, I tried to come sooner.

When I know what I want.

When I went down to the harbor, I went swimming...

When sending the pants, we'll write a letter...

When you hear your name called and the color of your team...

When you're 20...

Where are the shampoos?

Where exactly is Paul?

Where they came from and why they chose us...

Where's Paul?

Where's your little friend these days?

Who is that?

Who's your friend?

Why am I telling you this? Don't you have somewhere to be?

Why are you working there, anyway?

Why aren't you understanding you are going?

Why did they come back to Greece?

Why did you leave? Why did you have to go?

Why else would he have said that right in front of me?

Why is that so hard for me to say, Tibby?

Why should the rest of it matter?

Why would you say that?

Why?

Why?

Why? Why is that?

Will you help me get out of them?

With a big party in the back yard.

Would you like to help?

Yeah, a little. But, you know, she's 12.

Yeah, and you have something else too.

Yeah, he is.

Yeah, he's a little shy.

Yeah, like you talk to me? No.

Yeah, she's not really my friend.

Yeah, we're on Hobart Place, not Street.

Yeah, well, we all have our special talents.

Yeah, you should've warned me, but it's more than that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. All the ones with the blue flags are his.

Yeah. Bailey.

Yeah. I just got them back. From Lena.

Yeah. I will be as soon as I get out of these stupid heels.

Yep, nice shot.

You all right?

You call that nothing?

You can casually scratch while really picking a little.

You can never say you look fat while wearing the pants.

You can't even think it!

You didn't. You were good.

You don't even get to see the dragon until chamber number 23!

You don't have to apologize, sweetheart. You were upset. I know.

You don't understand.

You got it!

You guys! But it's still a sacred place!

You had that same moment once, when you met Yia Yia.

You have to swear.

You have us.

You just... You have to believe.

You knew my name. Why didn't you say something the other day?

You know what I like most about the stars?

You know what? Just forget about the dress.

You know who would be good at something like that?

You know, I don't even know if you could call it a pizza.

You know, I don't know, Tibby.

You know, it's more than that.

You know, then just never mind.

You know, with all the talking, just with you and with Yia Yia.

You like your room? And your bed?

You look at them, at all of them up there...

You look good! Little Lena.

You made promise to me. Does that mean nothing to you too?

You must never see this boy again.

You must never speak of them.

You need rest.

You said, "There's city and there's country, and everything else is a wasteland."

You see?

You shouldn't have to throw a rock at him, either.

You think that a pair of jeans that fits all three of you is going to fit all of this?

You think this is funny? Our grandparents hate each other.

You too. Bye.

You understand?

You woke her up. Thank you.

You wouldn't have to pay me or anything. I could carry equipment and stuff.

You.

You're awfully sure of yourself, huh?

You're probably right.

You're so cool. What are you listening to, "Teletubbies Hit Parade"?

You're the one who loves jeans so much, why don't you try them?

You're the weird girl with the price sticker on your forehead.

You've got a price sticker on your forehead.

Your dad called.

Your grandfather says my grandfather...

Your grandfather would die if he know about this.

Your high school won Nationals.

Your letters, they made her sound like...

Your mom gave it to me. I told her I was your assistant.

"Kalimera", Lena. No. I thought... I didn't...

All right. Alma, Megan, green.

Amen. Dig in. This looks great.

And me. And me.

Are you making a movie or something? More like an ode.

At Wallmans. I was there. Oh, yeah.

Bacon. Honestly, you two.

Be quiet, you're gonna... You know what, Tibby?

Bee, there is no rule number 11. Well, I think there should be.

Blue? Yes, Mom, blue.

Bowling? Well, he's down here bowling.

But I totally understood them. I gotta drop that check at the caterers.

But I'll be fine, thank you. All right.

But it seems you are already asleep. Yeah.

Can I take this off now? Sure. Certainly, darling. Go ahead.

Carmen, I really don't have time... Tib, Bridget needs us.

Carmen! You look wonderful.

Carmen? What?

Come on, come on! Yeah!

Come on, come on! Yeah!

Come on, I'll drive you over to see her. That's okay, I'll...

Dad, Dad, Dad. Yo.

Do you forgive me? Forgive you? Who the hell are you?

Do you work for him? No, just in the summer.

Does it matter if it's good lemonade? Let me ask the questions.

Doesrt look like anybody's home. They're probably out looking for me.

Eric. I know.

Excuse me? Saturday night. Meet me.

Forbidden to cuff or tuck. Okay, okay.

Forget the caldera. I wanna see the guy. Where's the boy?

Go, go, go! Yeah, I got it.

He just... He just had to do something.

He's gonna throw me out of the wedding. No, he's not.

Hello? "Carmen, it's Lena."

Here we go. Carmen, this isn't church.

Hey, how can they be perfect on you too? That is a little weird.

Hey. How are you?

Hi. Hey.

Hi. I'm Bridget.

Honestly. That's not...

Honey, time to wake up. Hi.

How about this one? It's great.

I don't do that anymore. Good one.

I don't even... You need to talk to him, Carmen.

I don't want to say I told you so, but... Then don't.

I gotta get married. Okay.

I just... I want... It's all right. You don't...

I know you hate it when I butt in. It's okay.

I know. No, you don't know.

I look like a tramp. Oh, dear.

I mean, if that's cool with you. Yeah.

I mean, will she look like Krista? Definitely.

I was referring to you holding a fish. Oh, you know what?

I will get that. Oh, it's okay.

I would love to. All right.

I'm fine, Lena. Oh, my God. You're gonna fall.

I'm not sure that's entirely helpful. I'm just saying parents screw up.

I'm sure it wasrt that bad. It was. It was horrible.

In the morning? Yeah.

Is it blue like this? No, not at all.

Is that not what happened? Oh, no, come on. No, I did not.

Is this your boat? My grandfather's.

It looks good. It looked great on you. Please buy them.

It will. It has to! No, I really doubt it.

It's beautiful. And these are my cousirs donkeys.

It's my mom! Your mom?

It's no big deal. We should just stop.

It's really confusing. Yeah, that would do it. That would do it.

It's right on the way. Yeah. Yeah, okay.

It's the bacon. I think it's the olives.

It's what they're good at. They do. It's up to us to see things they can't.

It's what they're good at. They do. It's up to us to see things they can't.

Janna. Oh, tampons!

Jo! Now, welcome to camp.

Just a little bit? Yeah.

Just tell him how you feel. I do talk to him. I talk to him all the time.

Kids! Kids, come on out here! Kids?

Lena! Are you serious?

Lena! Kostas!

Lf my grandparents saw me here, they'd... They'd what?

Like now, for example. Go ahead, do whatever you want.

Look. Cute. Oh, my God. Lena.

Look. Here you go. Put them on.

Lydia answered. During dinner.

Lydia, it's really... It's a beautiful day.

Maggie. What...? Hey, Maggie.

Maria? Yeah, our housekeeper.

Morning. Don't you ever sleep?

No boys allowed. Don't talk about it.

No cuffing or tucking. My turn, my turn.

No, it's all right, I understand. Do you?

No, no. He's okay. He's fine.

Oh, come on, honestly. Are you serious? You have to.

Oh, he had an appointment. At the hospital?

Oh, is that okay? Is that all right? Oh, sure! Sure.

Oh... My...

Okay, Lena, seriously. Once the ceremony's done, we're leaving.

Okay. Good point. I love it.

Okay. Tibby, you next.

Okay. Yes, Bee?

Overtime, yes. Which one of those is yours?

Put them on. Now. We'll help your thighs get into them.

Really? Yeah.

Receipt withholding. In rat faced manager lingo...

Right. And action.

See, snakes slither from the ceiling. Really?

She's just thinking. She's strategizing. I think she's trying to grow a brain.

She's not my... Bailey, Bailey Graffman.

Sisters of the Pants? Yes!

So Tami's feeling okay? Yeah.

So why do we have to pay for them? Tibs.

Sometimes you're much too much. Be careful.

Stop it! I do not. When did this happen?

Ta da! Straight A's. That's fantastic.

Tell him that. Why should I have to?

Tell me what? That I'm angry with you, Dad.

Thank you. Take care.

That is exactly what happened! We went bowling. It was so much fun.

That sounds like a really good rule to me. Yeah.

That you're hugging a pair of jeans? These aren't just jeans.

That's good. That's rule number six.

That's nine. So we need one more.

That's right, amen. Get up there. Go on.

That's the point of a documentary. A what?

The '80s are over. You know what else is tacky?

The one in Greece? Yeah.

They didn't fit me, remember? Yeah, I know.

They look amazing on you. Look at them.

They're perfect. I can't wear a bikini.

This is your second offense and... You're gonna have to dock my pay.

Tib, God. Just open it. That's what I'm trying to do.

Tibby! Come on, now. I'm just kidding.

To what? Lives of quiet desperation.

Totally. Cut!

Twelve. Whatever. Same difference.

Watch this, ready? Run fast!

We decided we'd change it for her. Yeah, how about a little road trip?

We need a final rule. Final rule.

We'll play tomorrow, okay? Okay.

We're gonna be bridesmaids together. Excuse me?

What are you talking about? Come on.

What for? This just came for you.

What? Having to babysit on your day off.

What? Lydia needs me, sweetie.

What? She's just kidding, Lena.

What? No. No. Come on, you got to.

What's so great about an old pair of jeans? Nothing.

What's your rule? I don't have a rule.

Whatever, let's just ignore it. We can't just ignore it.

Where are we going? We're going over there.

Where did you read that? In a magazine.

Who do we got, Deanna? Katie, you're up.

Who is? Little girl next door.

Who? '70s TV icon.

Why? Why? Carmen, we have to.

Yes, you can. No, Lena, I can't.

Yes, you do. Tibs, come on.

Yes. No, that's not enough.

You actually think you can return my serve? I do, Dad. I do.

You didn't tell me you were an artist. I'm not, really.

You don't even know me. I'm trying to.

You don't know that, that's not... Yeah, I do. I read it in a magazine.

You found out, didn't you? We still have time for one more interview.

You got a key, honey? No.

You have a body! Look at that.

You shouldn't be washing sheets. Oh, it's not a problem at all.

You wanna tell it? I don't.

You what? Wait... She seemed to think it was a good idea.

... a little common sense, it's not such a bad thing, Bee.

... although that only seems to get me into more trouble.

... and I don't understand why.

... and in somehow holding us together...

... and then got plucked onto a fishing boat...

... and this express mail costs more than I make in two hours at Wallmans...

... can still be open to love...

... detailing the most exciting thing that happened while wearing them.

... except their due dates.

... fainting in Wallmans does kind of qualify me as a loser.

... he can still look at life in the most uncomplicated way.

... I guess I was kidding myself to think that when the pants arrived...

... I think we may have been very, very wrong about the pants.

... is the kid that delivered them, some wise ass pain in the neck...

... like wearing these pants...

... or getting to a new level of "Dragors Lair"...

... so these jeans better get to you tomorrow.

... that means forgetting to give a sales slip.

... they were gonna make everything better.

... to understand the things that no one else in the world could.

... well, that will always be a mystery.

... when it felt like nothing would ever be the same again.

... while I, who have lost nothing, am not.

... while wearing the pants.

... who have lost everything...

... who's decided to permanently glue herself to my hip.

...about treating people decently...

...and for her to say that means...

...and he showed me I can take a chance, even if it's only for a moment.

...and I feel like some outsider who doesn't even belong to you anymore.

...and I wanna know why. Are you ashamed of me?

...and just started making this thing.

...and now it's time to start their real family?

...and probably a soccer star at some huge college...

...and she just walked in...

...and she'll just jump in and start asking these questions.

...and someone just lent it to me.

...and that is when you truly have nothing.

...and that this summer they travel among us...

...and the rest of our lives.

...and the rest of our lives.

...and they didn't want me to understand. Wow, it's 9:00?

...and they'll link us in hearts and spirits...

...and we'll just start over on the other one.

...and we're gonna pretend like this never happened.

...asked me if I wanted to talk.

...because I've never been able to tell you.

...because that's easier than feeling something?

...because they want the world to see it.

...because they want the world to see something else.

...because, Dad, I wanted to surprise you.

...before they left for the United States.

...blending machines, you know, for the mix ins...

...but a whole summer and just the two of us?

...but at least it'd keep me practicing.

...but I don't think she understood me.

...but I figured he'd be a good contrast to all the loser types in the movie.

...but I figured he'd be a good contrast to all the loser types in the movie.

...but I was just wondering if Maria could grab your sheets.

...but what no one ever sees is that...

...but you never even had the time to be mine.

...but you only visit me twice a year?

...can fix this.

...don't you think maybe it's harder not to be?

...even though we're far apart from each other.

...except when, God forbid, something happened with the wedding plans.

...I do experiments.

...I don't speak Greek very well.

...I sort of borrowed it.

...I'm not looking for new ones. Neither am I.

...if I feel alive...

...in the unity of marriage.

...in the unity of marriage.

...in the year 1305 A.D.

...instead of out in the real world?

...is his calling.

...is this fresh squeezed or powder?

...it looks kind of forgotten, and then...

...it only makes her choice that much more unfathomable.

...just ended up catching up with me that much sooner.

...kind of seen me a certain way.

...like she's trying to get to know them or something.

...nightmare.

...of those who love you?

...or anything else that might actually show you have a shape.

...or guest lists, or tablecloths or...

...or guest lists, or tablecloths or...

...promise me you'll give me a shot.

...regardless of the schedule.

...so I called you, because I knew you...

...so serve to me your absolute hardest. I'll do that.

...so we just say Paul's out for the day.

...sold him fish that make his whole restaurant sick.

...that a pair of pants could fit me... And me.

...that employee headsets are to be worn at all times.

...that I have her face and her smile...

...that it must be true.

...that the tailor didn't have enough bolts of material to cover.

...that, I don't know, I needed to be evaluated or something.

...the pants have already worked their magic on me.

...the pants will automatically go to the sister in need...

...then it doesn't seem like she's dead.

...then it proves that I'm not like her.

...there's this whole other part of me that is just like you.

...to celebrate the joining of this man and this woman...

...to celebrate the joining of this man and this woman...

...to honor a gift that has been sent to us.

...unless they're waiting for someone.

...was my fault.

...we are assembled here, in the presence of God and these witnesses...

...we will document it on the pants themselves.

...when you walk around screaming, "Screw the world"...

...where generations of young entrepreneurs have proved the old adage:

...while the rest of you jet off on your little adventures.

...who's being guarded by Singe, the dragon.

...whose job is to invent three new flavors a month.

...with that much intensity...

...you always change your mind about them.

...you are an artist.
