A scene from Father of the Bride 1991
George

It'll never last.

Nina

Wanna bet?

George

Nina. Annie's much too spirited for this kid. He's totally wrong for her. I give it two months, tops. One month.

Nina

This is the right guy for Annie, George. I'm tellin' you, I feel it in my bones. I mean, we're two lucky parents, George.

George

Lucky? Oh! What about his laugh? It was such a give away. It was so phony with his "Ha! Ha! Ha! Hee! Hee! Hee!"

Nina

I thought it was totally sincere.

George

Oh, please. What about that little rehearsed speech he gave that was right out of a book. "How to Grease Your Future Mother-In-Law."

Nina

You're off here, George, really. I thought it was completely from his heart. Why do you think I cried?

George

Good question. I don't know why either of you cried. I'm losing my voice. Are my glands swollen?

Nina

Let me see. No. No, honey. No.

George

And what about the way he kept touching her?

Nina

What do you mean?

George

What do you mean, what do I mean? He couldn't keep his hands off of her.

Nina

Oh, yes...kind of like when we were engaged, except that wasn't all you couldn't keep off me.

George

That was different. And we certainly never acted that way in your parent's house.

Nina

Oh! You want me to name all the rooms we did it in at my parent's house?

George

That was different. We were like two imbeciles. This is our child we're talking about.

Nina

Our child? Oh, George. You know, I still think you see Annie as a seven year-old girl in pigtails!

George

Well, you know? That just shows how you much you know about me because that is not at all how I see her. Right...a seven year-old with pigtails. I mean, here's the thing. We have no idea who this Brian really is.

Nina

Oh?

George

And if that's his real name. I mean, who knows? You know, maybe he already has a wife. You read about these cases everyday. Men who have wives and families stashed all across the country. He could be a professional con artist who meets innocents abroad, and gives them this song and dance about being an independent...whatever that was...and then skips out after bilking them for all they're worth. What are you doing?

Nina

I'm getting ready for bed.

George

Then I suppose that you're not interested that I believe I remember seeing someone who looked like Brian's twin on "America's Most Wanted"?

Nina

You're right. I'm not. George? George, I thought he was great. I liked him a lot. And I'm really happy...George...Would you please stop making that face? And I'm very happy for Annie. And I'm excited for her. This is a big deal and I think that we should at least hug. This is great news. Oh! A wedding! Father of the Bride. Can you believe it?
