GEORGE: I used to think a wedding was a simple affair. A boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say "I do." I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition. I know. I've just been through one. Not my own. My daughter's. Annie Banks-MacKenzie. That's her married name. MacKenzie. I'll be honest with you. When I bought this house seventeen years ago, it cost me less than this blessed event in which Annie Banks became Annie Banks-MacKenzie. I'm told that one day I'll look back on all this with great affection and nostalgia. I hope so. You fathers will understand. You have a little girl. An adorable little girl who looks up to you and adores you in a way you could never imagine. I remember how her little hand used to fit inside mine. How she used to sit on my lap and lean her head against my chest. She said that I was her hero. Then the day comes when she wants to get her ears pierced and she wants you to drop her off a block before the movie theater. Next thing you know she's wearing eyeshadow and high heels. From that moment on, you're in a constant state of panic.

BRIAN: Hello, Mr. Banks.
GEORGE: Hi.
BRIAN: I've heard so much about you. It's great to finally meet you, sir. Annie talks about you so much, I feel like I already know you.
ANNIE: Brian?
BRIAN: Oh, Annie.
ANNIE: So, this is him!
NINA: Oh, he's just, just a...
BRIAN: A little nervous. This is one of those situations you read about. You know, meeting the in-laws. You two seem great. I'm sure I have nothing to be nervous about. But still...

BRIAN: Well, that's true, basically. You know, driving down here, I tried to put myself in your place. Your daughter comes home after spending four months in Rome, and I'm sure you couldn't wait to see her. And she shocks you with the news that she's getting married. And to somebody you've never met before. I'm sure that was pretty heavy, to use a word from your generation. I just want to say that I'm an upstanding citizen, and I've never been engaged before. I've never really been in love before. And, I think Annie is the greatest person I've ever met. And I can't wait to marry her and one day have children and grandchildren. And I'm going to do my best to be supportive of her dreams, and she's a very gifted architect, and I'm just thrilled that I met her! I love your daughter. The feelings I have for her are never going to change. And I'm here to stay.
