Groomsmen Last Dance, The (2024)

Post by bunniefuu »

There's a lover

in my life...

Looks like

Pete's made a new friend.

So when am I gonna meet

your new boyfriend...

The criminal?

First off, his name's Nolan.

- Second, he's not my boyfriend.

- Oh!

Dad, I can dance

on my own two feet, you know?

[Jackson]

Just humor me, okay?

Just pretend like

you still need me around.

No one ever talks

about how hard it is

to raise a divorced parent.

- [groans] Oh...

- Hi, Betty.

Um, why'd you...?

Why does

Milo keep staring at me?

Because!

He's got...

A crush on you.

No, thank you .

[Jackson chuckles]

Hey, I got an idea.

Why don't we start figuring out

which shows you want to see

on Broadway this fall,

'cause I got a guy

who's got great seats.

I'll have to talk to Mom first.

We'll probably

be moving by then.

Moving?

What?

You just said "moving".

No, I didn't.

Well, I mean, I did,

but I didn't mean "moving".

I meant...

Betty.

Don't tell Mom

I said anything, okay?

She was waiting

for the right time to tell you.

Right time to tell me what?

About Italy.

[Kate] Ooh!

I had a feeling we were gonna

get to Italy sooner or later.

And I imagine there's a story

to go along with this.

Yes.

[clink]

There's a love story, too...

About Jackson.

Oh, the guy with a daughter.

And his ex-wife, Tricia.

Her mother.

Right.

She was in the military.

They gave her a big promotion,

and they sent her

and their daughter, Betty,

overseas.

And this all has

something to do with

why you ran away

from your own wedding today?

Hide! [gasps]

Are they gone?

All clear.

[sighing]

I wanna help you.

Okay? I do.

But you really need

to start telling me the truth.

Just why are you hiding

from the groomsmen?



[sighs]

The only way any of this

is gonna make sense to you

is if I tell you

Jackson's story, too.

Well...

that's fine and all,

but I gotta open the bar

sometime,

so let's get to it.

His ex-wife

and daughter moved to Italy?

A little place on the coast

called Sperlonga.

What does that have to do

with your wedding?

Well, I guess it starts

with a guy eating soup.

[gulps]



Does he do anything else?

[Nando]

He doesn't need to.

He goes online every morning

and eats soup.

With our help, he can become

a major social media influencer.

Watch the numbers.

Watching.

[Nando chortles] Yes!

That's what I'm talking about,

right there.

So you think we should sign him?

Already done.

Six months contract

with an option to renew.

We're gonna make a fortune

with this guy.

Wonderful.

Nice job, Nando.

- Thank you, boss.

- k*lling it.

Killin' it.

And you didn't even

have to lift a finger.

Yeah, you guys are k*lling it

over there, Jacks.

Yeah, never been busier.

We got clients coming in,

deals being done.

It's a great time

for the company.

Don't sound so excited.

You know, when normal people

get successful,

they smile...

sometimes, even laugh!

It just feels like...

it's all kinda happening

without me

actually doing anything.

And this is bad, because...?

Because,

when I started in this business,

it was a challenge.

Every... every contract,

every meeting,

there was kind of a thrill,

but now...

Are you saying

the thrill is gone?

I know how it sounds.

I just look at you guys.

Look what you've done

with your lives.

I don't know.

Maybe I need a new goal.

Like a new adventure?

Are you finally gonna go

hang-gliding with me?

Yes?

No.

[smack]

I'm talking about a goal.

Look, not to put a damper

on your existential crisis,

or anything,

but you and Trish have been

divorced, what,

six years now?

You could always

try dating again.

That ship has sailed.

That's what we thought.

But look at us...

We both got ourselves married

inside a year.

Hmm.

And I have never seen

either one of you happier.

But, honestly,

I've been there...

done that,

and not very well.

What are you talking about?

You and Trish just grew apart,

that's all.

Yeah. No harm, no foul.

[phone ringing]

Oh, speaking of.

That's Trish.

I'll be right back.

Hey. How's Italy?

Very Italian.

How are you?

Oh, you know...

Making people famous

for doing things

our parents told us

not to do in public.

How's Betty?

Well, that's why I'm calling, actually.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing!

We're fine.

She's learning Italian

faster than I am.

But, um, they want me to oversee

a fresh-water project

the government's doing in Kenya.

I'd be gone for a month.

You don't even have to ask.

I would love

for Betty to come stay with me

while you're gone.

Great!

I feel bad for taking her

out of school here,

but I don't know any other way.

Trish.

I got a better idea.

[lively Italian theme rises]

[Nando] You made it. Great.

Now, are you really

going to forget about work

for a while

and just enjoy Italy?

You got the reuse contract

from the cat-video lady?

100%. She signed this morning.

[Jackson] And the guy

who burps "Bohemian Rhapsody"...

Is he renewing?

We're having lunch today.

I'll have the deal done

by end of business.

Right.

Well, what about the, uh...

Jackson, relax!

I've got this.

Everything's under control.

The business isn't going

to fall apart without you.

[Jackson] I know that.

I do. I think.

It's just...

taking some getting used to,

I guess.

Don't worry about a thing.

You're where you need to be.

You're right, you're right.

Italy is exactly

where I need to be.

- Whoa!

- [brakes screeching]

[snapping in Italian]

I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

No!

You almost gave me heart attack!

Watch where you're going.

Maybe you could look both ways

before you cross the street.

And maybe you shouldn't

be on your phone

when you're behind

the wheel of a car.

I was dealing

with a very important situation

back in the States.

Why do Americans

spend so much time worrying

about what's happening

everywhere else

but where they are?

That's kind of

a sweeping generalization,

don't you think?

Well, you didn't prove me wrong.

In Italy, we live in the moment.

And we try not

to hit pedestrians.

[chuckles]

[church bell tolls]

[grumbling in Italian]

Gabriella! Language.

What language, Mama?

I was almost hit by a car.

What?

Yes! Some tourist, of course.

Paying more attention

to his phone than the road.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Can you believe

he actually tried to convince me

it was my fault?

Oh, you spoke with him?

A little bit.

And, uh, what did

you talk about?

Nothing, Mama.

He had an attitude.

You could see it in his eyes.

And what color were they?

- What?

- His eyes.

I think hazel.

It doesn't matter

what color they were, Mama!

He could have run me over.

But he didn't. Oh.

These are the papers

you asked me to sign.

Brava.

Now I just need

to get Papa's signature.

I still don't understand

why we're doing this.

Told you, Mama...

It's a business merger.

It's to bring together

our restaurant

and Papa's vineyards,

so we can get a loan

from the bank.

Yes, but why do we need

a loan from the bank?

We're doing fine.

We could do better.

We could fix the kitchen,

get new tiles for the floor.

And, maybe, I can help

Papa expand his vineyard...

Do tours or wine tastings.

My daughter... so ambitious!

But Lorenzo is a very proud man.

He will never agree to this.

Well, maybe if

you talk to him about it.

Oh-h*-h*-h*!

You know, your father and I

have an agreement.

I don't talk to him.

He doesn't talk to me.

We all live happily ever after.

If you want him

to sign these papers,

it's up to you.

Hi! You made it.

Couldn't get here fast enough.

Oh, h*, h*.

Okay.

When does she get off school?

In an hour.

[gate creaks and bangs]

I've left instructions

all over the house...

- Okay.

- So you shouldn't

have any trouble

figuring things out.

But, if you have any problems,

just call the landlord.

This is their number.

Okay, great.

[sighs] Aww.

Still make the shelf, huh?

Always will.

How are you doing, anyways?

Great.

The business just had

its best year ever.

Got more clients

than we can handle.

I meant you.

How are you doing?

Me?

I'm good, yeah.

You seeing anybody?

No.

I've got enough going on

these days as it is.

I barely have time for myself.

You know what?

Why don't I head down

to Betty's school early?

That way, I can, uh,

surprise her when she gets out.

She would love that. Yeah.

Okay, good.

Text me the directions.

Jackson!

Yeah?

Um...

She's 14 now.

She's been doing

a lot of growing up lately.

I know.

I understand.

Still my little girl.

[door thumps shut]





[indistinct conversations]

Did you come here

to finish the job?

Oh, good.

I said I was sorry.

Oh, so now you admit

it was your fault?

Okay, fine. My fault.

Happy?

Very! How can I help you?

I was wondering if I could

get a cappuccino to go, please.

We don't do "to go".

Okay. Great.

Then I'll just drink it here,

I guess.

A cappuccino?

- Yeah.

- Right now?

Yes.

You have a rule against that?

Not officially, no, but...

cappuccino's for the morning,

not the afternoon.

It's the Italian way.

Okay.

This has been fun.

Never mind.

I gotta go pick up my daughter

from school.

Bye-bye.

- Ciao.

- Yeah.

[footsteps receding]

Scusi?

Cappuccino...

to go.

That's a to-go cup?

No, but you can

use your imagination.

Okay. Yeah.

Bring it back tomorrow.

Sure.

How much do I owe ya?

It's on the house.

Welcome to Sperlonga.

Thank you.

Um... grazie.

Prego.

You were right.

About what?

His eyes.

They are hazel.

[scoffs lightly] Mama.

[school bell ringing]

[indistinct exchanges]

Betty.

Dad!

When did you get here?

Oh, a little while ago.

I thought I'd come

and walk you home from school.

Dad, this is my friend, Alessia.

Alessia, this is my dad.

- Nice to meet you, Alessia.

- [speaks Italian]

Uh, you drink cappuccino

in the afternoon?

[chuckling]

Yeah.

[speaking Italian]

Sweetheart,

listen to your Italian.

You are incredible.

Grazie, Papa.

[Elizabeth] Then the day came

that Tricia had to leave.

[Tricia]

I'll miss you, sweetie.

[Elizabeth] So, now it was

Jackson and Betty on their own.

[Betty] Okay, I'll be good.

She'll be all right.

Just call us when you arrive.

[Tricia] I know.

Bye! We love you!

We love you.

It's gonna be okay.

[Kate]

And how did that go?

Okay...

[Elizabeth]

Actually, surprisingly well...

- [Jackson] Me and you.

- [Betty] Can we get a dog now?

[Elizabeth] ...until Jackson

tried to use the stove.

Thing is,

nothing really happened.

She stepped out in front

of my car,

I hit the brakes... no problem.

And then she starts

yelling at me,

and later, at the restaurant,

she wouldn't even

serve me a cappuccino.

Well...

at least at first.

The nerve!

Thought people in small towns

are supposed to be friendly.

[Pete]

I think they are.

Unless you're trying

to run them over with your car.

[giggles]

- Okay.

- [doorbell chimes]

I'll get it.

Well...

there are

other restaurants in town.

I'm sure I can figure out

a way to avoid her.

Yeah, but are you sure

you want to?

Why would you say that?

Because you haven't

stopped talking about her

since we got online.

[Danny snickers]

Okay, I gotta go.

Guy's here to fix the stove.

[boys, overlapping] Ciao!

Nice. Ciao.

Thanks for coming so quick.

Yeah, I just can't seem

to figure out

what the problem is.

What are you doing here?

I'm staying here...

Taking care of my daughter.

What are you doing here?

My family owns this house.

I guess that makes me...

How do you say?

Your landlord.

So, the one person in Sperlonga

Jackson doesn't wanna see...

Turns out to be the owner

of the house he's living in.

That's gotta be awkward!

Not at first.

[thump]

There. All better.

[breathes deeply, vexed]

What, exactly, did you do?

Oh, it was a very complicated

repair procedure.

I lit the pilot light.

I could've done that.

So why didn't you, Dad?

Don't you have homework to do?

They don't give us homework

in Italy.

What?

You know, we have

an excellent farmer's market

here in Sperlonga.

I go there every week,

and the tomatoes are very fresh.

We happen to love

our canned tomatoes.

Don't we, buddy?

Whatever you say, Dad.

There's nothing wrong

with canned tomatoes,

but you have to add

some sugar to them

to make the flavor

really come to life.

I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you for your help, uh...?

"Gabriella."

[dryly]

And you're Jackson.

You have my number

in case you need anything else.

Ciao, Betty!

Ciao.

Goodbye, Jackson.

Dad, you didn't tell me

you knew our landlady.

I don't.

Not exactly.

And you... [sighs]

Could've had my back on

the whole canned-tomato thing.



[school bell rings]

[indistinct chatter]

My dad.

Betty! Hey!

Wait. Your dad

waits for you here?

Yes. Every day.

Well, okay.

See you tomorrow, Betty.

[indistinct exchanges]

- Hey.

- Hi, Dad.

Who's that?

That's Gio.

- Gio?

- Yes, Dad.

Before you say anything,

he's just a friend from school.

I didn't say anything.



[speaking Italian]

Ciao!

What a lovely young lady.

[Elizabeth]

Alessia was right.

Betty had to do something.

But what?

[Betty] This is

their restaurant website.

Gabriella and her mother

did it all by themselves.

Well, I'm gonna be honest here.

These photographs,

they're not great.

But at least

you can't read the fonts,

so you don't see

the spelling errors.

Um, layout's a bit of a mess.

No wonder

they're not getting any traffic.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Well, I think Gabriella should

probably leave social media

to a professional.

Great. Thanks, Dad!

I knew you'd do it.

Do what?

Help Gabriella

with her web page.

Nope. Didn't say that.

Come on. Dad.

She's a really good person.

She volunteers at the school.

She gives free food

to the firefighters.

Plus, she's

an excellent landlady.

I mean, who else would

come all the way to our house

at night,

just to show you

how to use a lighter?

I know how to use a lighter.

If you won't do it

for Gabriella,

will you at least do it for me?

Your first-born child?

Your only child!

Your only child

who's been torn from your arms

and now lives

thousands of miles away,

in a completely

different country?

Please?

[Elizabeth]

Jackson wasn't sure about this.

After all, it was a big step.

He hadn't come to Italy

with the intention

of meeting anybody.



[Elizabeth] Although Jackson

was trying to stay focused

on Betty...

there were

those canned tomatoes.

Turned out...

Gabriella was right.

So Jackson decided to do

what he did best...

- I like it.

- You like it?

Yes.

[Elizabeth]

he rebranded everything,

from the food to the restaurant.

He even managed to rebrand

the family history.



It was all going very well,

until...

Where did you get that?

[Jackson]

Found it online.

Some old article in a paper.

What do you think?

I don't like it.

I don't like it at all.

Gabriella. Wait.

Okay, hold on.

Wait. What's wrong?

What's wrong?

The fact that you even

asked me that question

tells me

that you know nothing about me.

Or Italy, for that matter.

Here, we value

truth and honesty.

The-the real things

that are important in life.

Not this fake fantasy world

of yours.

Okay. First of all,

it's not my world.

It's just social media.

And, unfortunately,

in this day and age,

for any business...

image is kind of

all that matters.

Well, it doesn't matter to me.

And if it does to you,

then, I'm sorry,

but we have nothing left

to say to each other.

Now, if you don't mind,

I have

a whole restaurant to run.

A real restaurant.

[she starts grumbling

in Italian]

Social media...

[continues in Italian]



I don't get it.

Jackson went

to all that trouble,

having Gabriella's

website redesigned,

and then she kicks him

out of the restaurant?

What's her problem?

That's what

Jackson wondered, too.

But he decided

not to let it bother him.

After all, he had Betty

to take care of

and a whole town in Italy

to explore.

But then,

there were the canned tomatoes.

[Kate] Wait.

The canned tomatoes show up

in the story again?

[Elizabeth] Well, actually...

they don't show up.

He couldn't find any

in the cupboard...

and that changed everything.





You can have that one.

No, no, you take it.

You're the professional.

I'm sure you could use it

more than I can.

There are others.

Okay.

Uh...

Grazie.

You ended up

buying fresh tomatoes after all.

Unrelated to our conversation...

I decided it was time

to expand my vegetable horizon.

Actually...

tomato's a fruit.

Okay.

Whatever it is,

I ran out of the canned ones.

Thank you.

Oh, sorry. Apologies.

Busy today.

Yeah, it is.

It's like

the whole town is here.

Doesn't anybody work

in Sperlonga?

Oh, they work.

But work does not come first.

There's a balance, you know?

You must have life.

You must have love.

And then you have work.

That does sound nice.

I guess I've still got a lot

to learn about the Italian way.

[chuckles]

Su conto.

Grazie.

- Gabriella, I'm sorry...

- Jackson, I'm sorry...

You first.

No. Please.

I didn't mean to insult you.

Or the whole country,

for that matter.

I thought

I was doing a nice thing,

but I guess I wasn't,

and I apologize.

I apologize to you,

because you did do a nice thing,

and you were

just trying to help me,

and our restaurant,

and I overreacted.

You forgive me?

[chuckles]

Only if you forgive me.

[speaking an Italian poem]

I don't know what that was,

but I loved every second of it.

"It's a deal."

Okay, it's a deal.

So, how long have

you owned the restaurant?

Oh, it's not mine.

It's my mother's.

Mm.

She and my father

used to own it together,

and a vineyard...

Just outside town.

Oh?

But, there were a few bad years,

and they fought too much...

About money, mostly.

So they got a divorce.

And now, she has the restaurant,

and he has the vineyard,

and they never speak.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's too bad.

Grazie.

My dream

is to bring the two businesses

back together.

I've already hired a lawyer,

and I'm working

on getting a loan, but...

But?

The reason

I got so upset with you

was because that photograph

reminded me

of what happened to my family...

To my parents...

And how stubborn

my father can be.

Well, I apologize.

I didn't mean to bring up

feelings for you.

It's not your fault.

Papa is just impossible.

I don't know what to do.

Well, I guess this is ciao.

Ciao can mean "hello"

or "goodbye".

Is that right?

But, if you want to say

a "goodbye,"

that means something more...

Like, a more serious goodbye...

Then you say arrivederci.

I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you... for today.

I'll get this bag back to you

as soon as I can.

You may keep it.

A souvenir

of our day at the market.

I will cherish it always.

May I ask a favor?

Sure. Yeah.

I would like

to make dinner for you.

You and Betty.

As an apology for the other day.

[chuckles]

You don't have to do that.

I want to.

Besides,

you can't live

on canned tomatoes forever.





[indistinct chatter

and laughter]

[laughter stops]

[Betty sighs]

I thought you fixed the problem?

I thought I did.

Dad, you know you don't have

to do this every day.

I was...

I was in the neighborhood.

Come on, we need to talk.

Dinner?

With Gabriella?

Yeah. I told her I needed

to talk it over with you first,

just in case it made you

feel uncomfortable.

Why would

it make me uncomfortable?

Because I'm your father.

I'm also a guest

in your mother's house.

Having somebody over

might be awkward for you.

Well, are you saying

this is a date?

No. No, no.

Absolutely not.

This is a friend.

Who's a chef,

who's coming over

to make us dinner.

What do you think?

Well...

a child's teenage years

can be the most difficult

whilst processing

the trauma of divorce.

As your daughter,

I'm willing to accept

this challenge will not be easy.

Somehow...

I will rise above.

Very nice.

Is that a yes?

Three, two, one...

we have lift-off.

- Well done, Dad.

- Thank you.

And it took you

only three clicks this time.

Okay...

Now let's see

if you can boil water.

It's on my resume.

And don't forget

to add a palm full of salt.

My father says pasta water

should be "as salty as the sea."

[chuckles]

I'll set the table.

I think some of Mom's good stuff

is still in one of the boxes.

Your daughter

is a lovely young lady.

Yeah.

- You must be very proud.

- I am.

Trish and I have done our best

to try to be good parents.

I think you have succeeded.

Thank you.

Yeah.

We do it together.

When our marriage ended,

we discovered that we were

better off as friends.

So we try our best

to maintain a good relationship

so that we can raise Betty

with the same level

of love and commitment.

Betty's very lucky

to have you as a father.

Oh, I'm lucky to have her.

[clink]

Fathers and daughters

can be a...

a very complicated thing.

Thanks for my car.

[chuckles]

It almost ran me over

in the store.

- Okay...

- It made me think of you.

[chuckles]

[water bubbling and sizzling]

[speaks Italian]

- What's wrong? "Cutie"?

- [speaking Italian]

- Oh, you're speaking Italian.

- Yes.

Here, watch out,

the stove is still on.

You okay?

Did you burn yourself?

No. Did you?

No. I'm okay.

Found them...

[Jackson]

Yeah, the plates. Um...

Why don't you go and get set up,

and we'll, uh...

Start over again?

Yeah.

We'll start over again.

[chuckles]



[Jackson]

That was amazing.

I do not think I'll be able

to eat again until December.

Actually, we have

a wonderful dinner

at the restaurant

for La Vigilia,

which is Christmas Eve.

I can save you a table

if you'd like.

Will I have to boil water?

You're pretty good at it, Dad.

You know, once you got

the hang of it.

Thank you.

I had an excellent teacher.

Actually, I'm the one

who should be thanking you...

Both of you...

For letting me share

this evening with you.

It meant a lot to us, too.

Okay.

Oh, no, wait! Selfie time.

Of course.

A little closer.

Yeah. How's that?

Closer.

[chuckling]

Okay.

[snap]

[Elizabeth]

At first, it looked like

she got Jackson and Gabriella

together,

which meant he now had a friend,

which also meant

that he wouldn't be

following her back and forth

- to school every day...

- Stay.

I'll, uh, get the plates.

At least,

that's what she thought.



Hey, Dad.

I found the canned tomatoes.



The canned tomatoes again?

I told you...

They change everything.

When her original scheme

to get Jackson

and Gabriella together

didn't work out,

Betty had to go to Plan B.

[Kate]

And what was "Plan B"?

[Elizabeth]

She hid the canned tomatoes.

It was the only way

she could think of

to get Jackson

to go to the farmer's market.

She figured it would

only be a matter of time.

Of course,

Gabriella didn't know about

any of this at all,

so when she asked Jackson

if she could make them dinner,

it was actually her idea.

You mean Gabriella really was

interested in Jackson?

Uh-huh.

So, obviously,

he had to take evasive action.

Like what?

Wait!

What did Betty do?

She's been

trying to set me up with

Gabriella from the restaurant.

The one you almost ran over

with your car?

We've moved on from that,

but yeah.

- So, what's wrong?

- "What's wrong"

is that, uh, I am not

looking for a relationship.

Besides,

I leave here

at the end of the month.

I do not want

to give Gabriella the impression

that I am interested in her.

But you are, aren't you?

That's not the point.

The point is...

You are interested in her!

The point is,

I just can't do this

right now, okay?

I came to Italy

to look after my daughter,

and maybe figure

a few things out.

I did not come here

to fall in love.

So what do you want us to do?

We've already talked about it,

and I think she understands,

but if Betty calls you...

Which...

I know she will...

Just tell her

no more trying to fix me up.

Gabriella or anybody.

Absolutely.

100%.

Okay.

[sighing wistfully]

I gotta go.

What are you thinking?

Exactly what you're thinking.

- Ee!

- [whack]



- Ciao.

- Ciao. Hi.

Looks good.

We always decorate

for the festival.

That's great.

Um, Gabriella...

Do you know Il Illusionista?

No, I don't, but...

It means "The Conjurer".

It's a very well-known opera.

It was written right here

in Sperlonga,

almost 200 years ago.

It was first performed

in the piazza right over there.

Isn't that something?

Each year, for the anniversary,

we have a festival.

So we all dress up in costumes

and masks from the opera.

There's food and dancing,

and wine.

You will come, yes?

Actually, we need to talk.

Okay.

We can talk while you help.

Yeah. Sure.

Okay.

[sighs heavily]

Look, there's something

I need to tell ya.

That sounds very serious.

It is.

It is to me.

Um...

I-it's about

our, um... our situation...

This situation.

Wh-What do you mean "situation"?

[to self]

What am I even saying?

You know what?

Forget this.

What I mean is "us"...

Just like in the movies.

I don't watch

a lot of movies. Um...

Is there something wrong,

Jackson?

Yeah. Yeah, something is wrong.

Um... it's about when

you made dinner the other night.

Okay. You didn't like it?

No! No. I loved it...

It was one of the best meals

I've ever had...

But we can never do it again.

I can make lunch?

[sighs]

No. I mean, um...

anything.

You and me, we can never do...

anything again.

I'm sorry.

I know this probably

doesn't make...

Goodbye, Gabriella.



Gabriella,

your father mailed back

those papers you sent him

for the loan.

He... He didn't sign them.

Of course he didn't.

What was I expecting?

Hey!

I saw you talking

to your American friend.

He seems very nice.

I thought he was, too, Mama.

I thought he was, too.



[Kate] Now, hold on!

Are you telling me

that's the end of the story?

Jackson just left her

standing there,

and didn't even say why?

He couldn't. The truth was,

he didn't really know himself.

Well, this certainly

isn't much of a love story.

That's because

it's not over yet.

A week went by

with Gabriella pretending

she didn't care...

and even though Jackson

pretended he didn't care,

he stopped

buying canned tomatoes...

and still went to the market

to buy fresh tomatoes.

Since neither of them

would make the first move,

it looked like whatever romance

they might have had

was over before it even started.

I can't decide, Dad.

Which one do you want?

Me?

No, neither. Thanks.

Dad, you have to wear a mask

to the festival tonight.

It's a tradition.

Well, it's a good thing

we're doing something else then.

What do you want to do?

Dad! Are you guys hearing this?

My father is denying me

a very important

cultural experience

of great educational value,

without which,

I'll probably not get into

the college of my choice.

[Pete] Come on, Jacks.

Take her to the festival.

Yeah! Festivals are awesome.

[doorbell chimes]

Let's go skydiving. Come on.

[grumbles] He's just

trying to avoid someone.

That's not true.

If you guys think it's so great,

then why don't you fly down here

and you go yourselves?

- Okay!

- Let's go!

[overlapping] Ta-dah!

[friends laughing]

Hold on.

Did you know about this?

I got two extra masks.

- Oh...

- No, you didn't.

Oh... yes!



[Jackson] I still cannot

believe you guys are here.

Hey, well, Chelsea went

to see her parents in Varna,

and this was kinda on the way.

I've always wanted to see Italy.

I just didn't think it would be

through such tiny eyeholes.

All right, back here.

Ciao, Betty.

Che bella tua maschera!

Grazie! Anche la tua.

Betty, aren't you gonna

introduce us to your friend?

Oh. Um, uh...

yeah, sure.

Gio, this is my dad,

and, Dad, this is Gio.

Buona sera, signore.

Buona sera, Gio.

And these are

my honorary uncles,

Pete and Danny.

Ciao bee-loh.

What he said.

[speaking Italian]

Wait, Betty!

We're gonna meet

right back here...

One hour, remember?

- Jackson, relax!

- I'm relaxed.

She's 14, okay?

Gotta let her have some fun.

Yeah!

Oh, hey. Hey!

Eyeholes are so small.

[Pete] Okay, I gotcha.

[Italian pop song plays]



Gosh.

Told you.

I knew this was gonna be fun.

- I like it.

- Okay! Okay!

I think I could move to Italy.



Oh. Excuse me.

Pardon me.



Hey, is... is that...

Hey, isn't-isn't-isn't-

isn't-isn't...

Is that...?



Look at our boy!



I'd have never thought it

if I didn't see it.

- I gotta get this.

- Get it! Get it, get it.

Okay. Look at him go.

He doesn't even know

we're watching.



I didn't know he could

move his hips like that.

I didn't know he had hips!



[applauding]

- Dip her again!

- Do it again!

Double dip!

Double dip, Jackson!

Whoo! Yeah! Yeah!

That's our boy!

Don't look at me...

It was all her.

Thank you for the dance.

[crowd applauding]

[festival music plays in video]

You two danced like that,

and you didn't get her name?

Doesn't matter.

It was just

a quick little "nothing" dance.

This is your idea of "nothing"?

Aw! No wonder he hasn't been

on a date in six years.

[Danny and Pete] Ahh...!

[Jackson chuckles dismissively]

Oh, I'm an espresso guy.

We drink cappuccino

in the morning around here.

And I have been on dates.

I've been on a bunch of dates.

I've been on four dates.

It's just not happening...

That's all.

Mm-hmm. What about this? Hmm?

Is this happening?

Like, you do want to find her,

don't you?

I told you guys,

I'm not interested

in getting into a relationship.

But, you did say you wanted

new goals in your life.

And maybe this is it.

- "Goal."

- [Jackson] Don't do the hands.



[Danny] Hey, guys!

Look what I got!

Real Italian olive oil

from real Italian olives.

- [cackles]

- It's perfect,

if you're planning to have

500 people over for a salad.

Okay.

Okay, it says the restaurant

is right on that corner.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Wait.

That's where you guys

want to have lunch?

[Danny]

Yeah, it looks great.

[Pete] And it's on the guide.

And it's got great reviews!

Betty put you up to this?

What? No!

Wha... What are you

talking about?

Daniel, you know exactly

what I'm talking about.

That is Gabriella's restaurant.

Whoa. Whoa. The "Gabriella" who

you tried to hit with your car?

That Gabriella?

We're past that.

Whoa. But what's the big deal?

Betty said you two were friends.

We were.

It just didn't exactly end well.

Well, I'm sorry, Jacks,

but I'm hungry,

and your feelings

can't compete with my stomach.

Let's go, Pete!

- [pat-pat]

- Let's go!

Maybe we can use this oil

for a salad!

[Jackson] Great.

Buongiorno.

Hi.

Ciao.

Oh... oh!

Oh, you must be Gabriella!

Hi!

- I-I'm Danny.

- Hi.

- This is Pete.

- Hi.

We're Jackson's best friends

from America.

[Gabriella] Wow.

She knows.

[dryly] From America? Really?

I would've never guessed.

[speaking Italian poorly]

Tavolo...

poor tray, poor fav-voray?

"Table for three."

You can follow me this way.

Yeah!

Nailed it!

Your menus right here.

Ah, thank you.

- Of course.

- Thank you.

Can I get you

something to drink?

I will have a glass of wine,

please. Thanks.

Red. Red.

It's a little early for wine,

so I'll have a grappa.

You do know grappa

is stronger than wine, right?

Yeah,

but it doesn't sound stronger.

"Grappa!"

Um, and what about for you?

Um, it's after 12 noon,

so maybe you would like

a cappuccino?

Bleh.

Water. Thank you.

There, see?

Look, you got yourself

all worked up about nothing.

- Oh, no.

- What?

Oh, no! I think...

I think my olive oil's leaking.

Oh, great.

[Jackson sighs, stressed]

- It's like...

- [splashing]

It's on the other side.

- Where? What other side?

- Yeah, yeah.

Oh! Got it!

- Oh!

- [Pete] Are you okay?

You okay? You got it?

I'm fine.

I've got it.



[Pete] He's got it.

You gonna clean it up?

[Danny snaps] I'll clean it up!

Wow.

Okay, so...

what about you

and Gabriella, huh?

Maybe it's time

you get back in the game?

Sports metaphor.

You sound a lot like Danny.

Look, all I'm saying...

Is...

I know.

You should at least talk to her.

Okay? You both are adults,

and whatever happened

in the past

is over and done, right?

No, it's a bad idea.

Uh, you guys stay, enjoy lunch.

I'm gonna go.

Jacks.

[gasps] Oh!



- [slow-clapping]

- Jacks...

[guys] Jacks...

Jacks!

- Look at you!

- Look at you!

- Look at us!

- Look at us!

[Pete] Clapping for him!

I don't think he doesn't want...

Doesn't want us to do it.

Oh, sorry.

You got this!

You got it!

You could've said something.

I wanted to,

I just didn't know how.

It was an accident.

I didn't know it was you.

Thought I was dancing

with a stranger,

and by the time

I realized who it was,

it was too late.

Besides, the way

you left here last week,

I thought you never

wanted to see me again.

Gabriella...

[phone rings]

I have to go meet Betty.

[blurts] Six years.

What is six years?

Trish and I divorced

six years ago.

I haven't been in a serious

relationship since then.

I don't know why

I'm telling you this,

except to say that, uh...

I haven't danced in a long time.

Until last night,

I thought I'd forgotten how.

Say ciao to Betty for me.

[birds chirping]

Dad, I thought

we talked about this.

You can't walk me home

from school every day.

Well, I was in the neighborhood.

So, tell me about Gio.

Is he a friend?

Special friend, or...?

Or what, Dad?

Boyfriend?

Go ahead, ask me.

I didn't mean to, uh...

Yes, you did, Dad.

Yes, you did.

Gio is just a friend, Dad.

In fact, he and Alessia

are my only friends.

You know why?

Because you walk me

to school every morning,

then, every afternoon,

you're standing here,

waiting for me,

like the Dark Knight.

Honestly, Dad,

it creeps people out.

That's not

what I'm trying to do.

Do you know

how that makes me feel?

It makes me feel like

you don't trust me.

I just want you to be okay.

I know.

And I love you for it.

But... you're being

too overprotective, Dad.

You're trying to protect me

from the world the same way...

the same way

that you're trying

to protect yourself.

[chuckles uncomfortably]

What does that mean?

You keep telling people

you don't want a relationship.

You know what I think?

I think you're just afraid,

and you're trying

to protect your heart

from getting hurt again.

It's not fair, Dad.

It's not fair to you.

It's not fair to me.

I don't need a bodyguard.

I need a dad.





You okay?

Yep.

Yep, Betty and I just had

a father-daughter talk

on the way home from school.

Could've gone better.

She's a great kid, Jacks,

but if you keep

holding her too tight,

you're gonna lose her.

She's 14.

Yeah.

She's 14!

Time to let go a little.

Let her live her own life a bit.

She's my daughter.

- I have a responsibility.

- And you use it...

Just like you use

your high-power career

and your marriage

that didn't work out...

To keep yourself from moving on.

When are you gonna face

the truth, Jacks?

[sighing heavily]

You can't hide

behind Betty forever.



- Yes!

- Yes!

Uh, where's...

Where's the rest of this?

This is how

we serve breakfast in Italy.

But my tummy's from America.

Gotta go. Bye.

Betty!

[Danny and Pete's words catch]

Dig in.

Betty, hold on. I'm coming.

Really, Dad?

Just hold on.

Hear me out, okay?

I wanted to tell you that, uh...

as a father

of a child of divorce...

I think it's time

that you started to walk

to school on your own.

- Dad...

- No, no.

I'm sorry.

My mind is made up here.

You can beg, and you can plead,

but you have got to learn

to do this on your own.

It's embarrassing.

I think it's time that you...

walk to school by yourself.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, too.

I'm sorry.

[doorbell chiming]

Buongiorno.

I made too much lasagna.

[chuckles lightly]

Maybe you would like some?

Mm!

Gabriella, you are a life-saver.

Jackson's been trying

to starve us to death.

- Okay.

- I'm glad you like it.

Okay, I have to go.

My bus leaves in 20 minutes.

I don't wanna be late.

Where are you going?

To my father's vineyard.

If I want that loan,

I need his signature.

So far, he's refused,

but maybe if I talk to him

face to face...

anyway, enjoy your lasagna.

Ciao.

Ciao.



What?

Dad. You're not gonna make her

take the bus, are you?

Tsk.

Yeah.

- More for us.

- Yes!

- Mm.

- Mm!

Gabriella, wait.

I have a car.

If...

you want to use it.

Grazie,

but I never

learned to operate a car.

In Sperlonga, there's no need.

Ah.

Yeah.

Okay. Well...

I could drive.

Yeah.



Are you sure you know the way?

Don't have to.

Got an app.



[Gabriella] Turn here.

[Jackson]

The app says to go straight.

[Gabriella] Are you going

to listen to me or your phone?

[Jackson] My phone's connected

to a billion-dollar

satellite system,

so it's never wrong.

Still nothing.

Well, maybe you should've been

following my directions

after all.

No one likes to hear

"I told you so," Gabriella...

even when it's in

a lovely Italian accent.

Okay, so...

looks like that last pothole

did a number

on this transmission.

We're probably stuck here

until someone comes along.

Might as well get comfortable.

It's gonna be a long wait.

- Okay...

- [bangs door shut]

I guess we're walking.

Don't wait for me.

You know, I'm not trying

to be "that dad,"

but, pretty soon, she's gonna

be going to university or...

getting married.

Then she'll be taking

my grandkids

to swimming lessons

and band practice.

Jackson! Jackson.

"In the moment." Okay?

We made spaghetti

one time, okay?

I'm not that Italian yet.

[Jackson sighs]

Oh, and then we had a fight...

and Betty said

that I don't trust her.

Do you?

Of course, I do.

I love my daughter.

Oh, that is not the same thing.

As a daughter, I think

one of the greatest gifts

a parent can give a child

is their trust.

That's all Betty's asking for.

So... do you trust her?

Hmm.

Come on.

We've got a long way to go,

and we'll never get there

on foot.

[Jackson]

Well, what do you suggest?





[Jackson]

This is absolutely beautiful.

You grew up here?

I spent

my childhood playing here.

Come on, I know a shortcut!



I have a confession to make.

I haven't been

completely honest with you.

This isn't a shortcut...

We're lost?

[laughs]

You can be honest.

You can just tell me.

No.

That night at the festival,

when we danced...

It wasn't an accident.

I was waiting for you.

I was hoping for you to show up.

I knew it was you all along.

Why didn't you just tell me?

You can tell me that.

I didn't want you to leave,

and all I really wanted

was one last dance...

with you.



[clacking]

[laughing]

[door creaks]

Ciao, Papa.

Buona sera.

[chuckling]



What happened?

Ah, it's not that serious,

but the car won't be ready

until tomorrow.

Which means you guys

are on uncle duty.

No problem.

But you really have

to tell your daughter

to let Danny win

once in a while.

His poor little ego.

[chuckles] Okay.

I gotta go.

[ends call]

You're a friend

of my daughter's?

Yeah, that's right.

What kind of friend?

A good friend, Papa.

He brought me all the way

up here to see you.

It's been a long time.

You never invite me.

Since when does my daughter

need an invitation?

But I'm afraid

you wasted your trip.

I've told you before,

I'm not interested.

Did you even read it?

Yes. The merger

with your mother's business...

The loan, the expansion...

Yes, I read it.

And you don't think

it's a wonderful idea?

This vineyard has been

in our family

for over 200 years.

I'm not gonna risk it

over some foolish idea.

It's not "a foolish idea," Papa.

Every vineyard

does wine tastings,

every vineyard does tours.

Well, not this one.

We have a tradition

of excellence here.

I'm not gonna throw

all that away

just to have some-some tourists

stampeding all over my house.

No offense.

None taken.

Please.

This project

is like a dream for me.

Why won't you just give me

a chance to make it come true?

[sighs]

You must be hungry.

I'm going to prepare

some dinner.

[Gabriella scoffs]

- Papa!

- Gabriella.

h* detto no.



Gabriella was right.

Her father sounds impossible.

It was looking that way until...

Jackson?

- [Elisabeth] Jackson.

- [knocks]

Thought I'd see

if you needed any help.

You cook?

I can boil water.

Boil it in this.

I want you to know

my daughter and I

have always been very close.

She's my greatest joy.

Well, forgive me for

saying this then, sir, but...

you have

a strange way of showing it.

Fathers and daughters...

It's complicated.

[faucet running]

[shuts tap off]

[Jackson]

Only if we make it that way.

"As salty as the sea."

Where'd you learn about that?

Gabriella taught me.

She said

she learned it from you.

I have a daughter.

And I love her very much.

But I'm learning

love and trust

have to go hand-in-hand...

or neither of them

mean anything at all.

I trust my daughter.

Okay. So why don't you

give her a chance?

Because she's not ready.

[Jackson chuckles softly]

You know, I bet...

whoever it was in your family

that started this vineyard

200 years ago...

They heard that same thing.

It's a good thing

they didn't listen.



[sighs]



That is where

I had my heart broken

the very first time.

He told me he loved me,

he said he was gonna

stay with me forever,

and then he left...

That's sad.

He had to go to soccer practice.

We were eight years old.

[laughs]

I'm sorry...

about your dad.

I should've known

I wasn't going to convince him.

Fathers are stubborn.

Doesn't matter...

what your dad does

or doesn't do.

I think you're gonna

do great things.

That is very kind.

No. It's just the truth.

I've made a career

out of betting on people,

and I would bet on you any day.

But not on us?

I think you're the most amazing

woman that I've ever met.

But...?

But I go home

at the end of the week.

That's just the reality of it.

And as much as I... want to,

I have far too much in my life

to let this happen...

to you, to me... to us.

You deserve...

a lot better than that.

I'm sorry.

At least we had a dance.

Yeah.

At least we had a dance.

Arrivederci, Jackson.

[birds singing]

[motor revving]

Sounds like

she's working fine now.

I'll just go let Gabriella know.

She's gone.

What?

Yeah.

She took the early bus

back to town.

She left you this.

Tch. [sighing]

I believe my daughter

must care for you very much.

And I care for her.

It's just not gonna work out.

That's a shame.

I, too, had

someone who cared for me.

Gabriella's mother... my wife.

But I was foolish.

And I've regretted it

ever since.

You were married once, hmm?

Yeah, that's right.

What happened?

We just grew apart, you know?

Grew apart, and, uh...

No. That's not what happened.

Uh...

That's just what

we told everybody.

And ourselves.

Truth is, it was my fault.

I was so focused on my career

and giving my daughter

the life that I never had

that I, uh...

I lost sight

of what was important.

I let my marriage fall apart.

By the time

I realized what was happening,

it was too late.

[sighing]

Love...

Love is rare enough

in this world, Jackson.

When we find it...

we should never

turn our backs on it.

It may never come again.

In bocca al lupo.

Lorenzo, what does that mean?

[laughs]

It means, essentially,

"good luck."





[turns engine off]



[phone dialing, on speaker]

[Nando] Jackson!

Nando.

What's up? You okay?

No, everything's all right.

Look.

I need to ask you a question.

Are you all right, Gabriella?

I'm fine, Mama.

[sighs]

[testily] Lorenzo.

What are you doing here?

I'm actually here

to see my daughter.

What is it, Papa?

You left this at the house.

Thank you.

I signed it.

- [envelope crinkles]

- What?

If I can't trust my own

daughter to run our business,

who can I trust?

[chuckling]

Grazie, Papa! Grazie.

I will make you proud.

You always have, Gabriella.



Un espresso, per favore.





I know it's a little late...

but I was wondering

if I can get a cappuccino.

I'll have to ask the owner.

I'll see what I can do.

When do you go back to America?

Well, what's funny about that,

is that it turns out

they also don't need me

quite as much

as I thought they did,

so, if it's all right

with you, I, uh...

I was thinking maybe I'd

stick around for a little while,

if that's okay.

That is, um, very okay.

For as long as I can remember,

I've been telling anybody

that would listen

that I don't want this,

that I, uh...

don't want to be

involved with anybody,

but that's not true.

Truth is, I was afraid.

Afraid of what?

Afraid of failing again.

Afraid of it being my fault.

I guess I was afraid...

that maybe I didn't deserve

a second chance at love.

But you make me

believe that maybe I do.

And I would really like

to find out...

with you.

I would too.



[Kate] Wow!

So Jackson had to go

all the way to Italy

to believe in love again?

Now that is romantic.

[knocking at door]

I think your groomsmen are back.

[sighing]

No.

I know who this is.



You must be Milo.



Turn around, it's you

I'm seeing face to face

You stop my breathing...

I'm looking for Betty?

You know nobody

calls me that anymore.

I do.

I have to put some things

away in the storeroom.



Are you okay?

Yeah. Yes, I'm... fine.

When they told me you ran off,

I thought maybe

you'd changed your mind.

Maybe you didn't

want to marry me anymore.

Are you kidding?

Of course, I want to marry you.

[chuckles in relief]

So why'd you leave?

Because...

I wasn't sure

that you wanted to marry me.

What?

Why would you even say that?

Uncle Danny, Uncle Pete, Dad...

They all have

these great stories about how

they faced some big challenge

before they finally found love.

Doesn't it bother you

that we don't have

anything like that?

How could we?

We've known each other

since we were kids.

Exactly!

We don't have any story to tell

about the first time we met,

or-or-or how we ended up

with the same seat on the train,

or-or how our dogs

got their leashes tangled

at the park.

We actually

don't even have dogs.

That's not the point!

The point is...

in all these years

we've been together,

nothing that exciting

has ever happened to us.

Love doesn't always

have to come with an airbag,

you know?

But are you sure

that's enough for you?

Don't you wish we had

a story of our own to tell...

Some romantic thing

that makes this all make sense?

Come with me.



I've been in love with you

since the first time we met.

Even back then, I knew, one day,

I was going to ask you

to marry me.

But...

I couldn't tell you that

when we were nine years old...

so...

I decided to send you

a secret message.

[coin clatters]

I knew you loved

playing this game,

and I thought maybe someday

you'd figure it out.

Do you have any idea

how hard it was

to keep the high score

on this machine

for all those years?

[Elizabeth] That was you?

"MLB"...

I thought that was Uncle Danny...

"Major League Baseball".

Nope.

All you had to do

was beat my score,

and you would've found...

this.

"Milo Loves Betty"...

"MLB."

You did this for me?

I did it for us.

Now we have

a story of our own to tell.

So what do you think?

Wanna go get married?

Wait!

I wanna beat

your high score first.

[chuckles]

Let's go. We still have

a wedding to get to.



Sunlight fell

And reminded me

Life can be so gracious

Sometimes...



And I felt like

Everything around me

was connected

Somehow



I am not ready for this.

Yes, you are, Dad.

Remember all those times

you walked me to school

in Italy?

Those were just practice runs.

[chuckles softly]

Okay.

They say

Hold on to the ones you love

Keep 'em close to you

They say

Hold on

to this time we have

And let the light

shine through



Sometimes I get

A little bit emotional

When I see love unfold



Two hearts

bound by reflections

Of the memories

they'll forever hold



And they say

"Hold on

to this time we have

And let the light

shine through"

Welcome!

Welcome to friends and family,

special guests

from near and far,

trusted companions,

and even unfamiliar strangers

who may one day become...

family.

We never know.

Because life's mysteries

are constantly unfolding

like a lotus flower,

growing wild

in the untamed country

- of our heart...

- Mom. Mom.

- Fe...

- Mom.

Uh... [chuckles]

Thank you.

We are gathered here today

to witness the joining

of two lives.

Elizabeth Grace Ryder...

and Milo Carter McLean.

Would you please join hands?





[Georgia] And so...

by the power vested in me

by the great state

of Pennsylvania,

I now pronounce you married.

Go ahead.

You can kiss!

[guests cheering and applauding]

[applause continues]



[clinking]

[laughter and applause]



Uh, hi! Hey, everyone!

Hi. Hello.

Um, for those of you

that don't know me

or remember me

from the last wedding

we were all at together,

I am Danny,

and I thought instead of me

standing up here

doing all the talking,

I'd like to invite

my fellow groomsmen...

Pete,

and the father of the bride,

Jackson,

to say a few words.

Pete?

Okay.

[chuckles as crowd applauds]

Wow, okay.

Um, wow.

Hi, babe. Heh.

[Pete chuckles]

[sighs] Um...

Elizabeth,

I have been so lucky

to have your dad

as one of my best friends

for all these years,

because it has given me

a front-row seat to watch you

grow from a sweet...

funny, and adorable little girl

into this incredible woman

we all see today.

[crowd applauding]

And even though

you are a properly married

young lady now,

that doesn't mean

I'm going to let you win

at our favorite video game.

[guests laughing]

And I have been

so honored...

to be your father.

It's taught me a lot.

About kindness...

respect...

trust.

Trusting the people

that you love.

Now, I know your name

is Elizabeth these days,

but if it wouldn't be

too much trouble,

would it be all right,

once in a while,

if I can still call you Betty?

[blows kiss]

To my daughter...

to my new son-in-law...

I wish you both

all the happiness,

all the joy,

and all the love in the world.

Cheers.

[overlapping] Cheers!

Hi, everyone.

Thank you all for coming.

For all these years,

I've had my dad,

and my Uncle Pete,

and my Uncle Danny

as role models

when it came to marriage.

Can you imagine how hard

it's been to live up to that?

[crowd chuckling]

I mean, they've had adventures.

Uncle Pete had to travel

thousands of miles,

through a Bulgarian forest,

and the storm of a century,

but...

nothing could stop him

from marrying Aunt Chelsea.

And Uncle Danny had to go

all the way to Greece

and jump off a cliff to realize

that his true love

had been there,

right beside him, all along.

Right, Uncle Zack?

[mouths words]

And then...

my dad.

I am...

so proud of him

for finding love again

with Gabriella...

even if it meant traveling

halfway around the world

and dancing

in an Italian festival

with a creepy mask on.

[laughter]

The thing is,

I've learned

so much from all of them.

But I was afraid

that Milo and I just...

couldn't

live up to those legends.

But my husband...

said something to me

that changed everything.

He said,

"Love doesn't always

have to come with airbags."

[laughter]

And I realized

that maybe I didn't need

some big adventure

to make our wedding complete.

Because

we're already having one.

Love...

is the greatest adventure

of all.



[smooch]

[crowd applauding and cheering]

[applause continues]



Thank you, Dad.

For everything.

I'm so proud of you.

Look at you...

dancing on your own two feet.



You don't mind, do you, Dad?

Just for old times' sake.

[sighs]

Come to join the fun?

May I have this dance?

If she says so.

Of course.



Okay.

So, did you schedule

Mrs. Biedermann

for her knee surgery?

You know how hard it is

to get into the O.R. these days.

You know the problem

with two doctors

getting married?

They always seem to talk shop.

[chuckling]

So, am I still your plus-one?

[chuckles]

Baby, you're my only one.

["Shake Your Groove Thing"

playing]

Oh, no!

[Pete] Oh, no...



No...



Shake it, shake it...

Shake your groove thing

Shake your groove thing

Yeah, yeah

[Jackson]

Are we really still doing this?

Show 'em how we do it now

Let's show the world

we can dance...

Whoo!

...Bad enough

to strut our stuff

The music gives us a chance

We do more out on the floor

Groovin' loose

Or heart-to-heart

We put in motion

every single part

Funky sounds wall to wall

We're bumpin' booties

Havin' us a ball, y'all...

So, what's this

all about anyway?

Well...

it's a long story.

Shake your groove thing

Shake your groove thing

Yeah, yeah

Show 'em how we do it now
