A scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2002
Ian

What do you do for Christmas with your family?

Toula

Uh, my mom makes roast lamb.

Ian

Mmm... with mint jelly?

Toula

No.

Ian

[pause]

And...?

Toula

And...

Toula

[pause]

I'm Greek, right?

Ian

Right...?

Toula

So, what happens is my dad and uncles, they fight over who gets to eat the lamb brain. And then my aunt Voula forks the eyeball and chases me around with it, try to get me to eat it, 'cause it's gonna make me smart. So, you have two cousins, I have 27 first cousins. Just 27 first cousins alone! And my whole family is big and loud. And everybody is in each other's lives and business. All the time! Like, you never just have a minute alone, just to think, 'Cause we're always together, just eating, eating, eating! The only other people we know are Greeks, 'cause Greeks marry Greeks to breed more Greeks, to be loud breeding Greek eaters.

Ian

Wow.
