Blake's mom: Now, tell me dear. How many are we expecting from your side of the family? Just a guestimate.

 

Dad: OK. Can I get back to you on that? I'm, I'm not sure at the moment. Excuse me. Pardon me. Sorry.

 

Chessy: Oh, boss, are you okay?

 

Dad: Yeah. I'm fine.

 

Man: Uh, sir?

 

Hallie: Oh, dad, watch out!

 

Chessy: Oh, careful!

 

Dad: Hello, Liz.

 

Mom: Hello, Nick. Well, gosh. There you are. What do you know ?

 

Dad: Uh is there something going on here that I should know about because I'm stunned¹ to see you. But, uh, you don't seem as stunned to see me. I mean, I haven't seen or heard from you in what-- ten, eleven years? All of a sudden on the very day that--

 

Annie: Dad. I can explain why she's here.

 

Dad: Hallie. You know who this is?

 

Annie: Actually, yes. And actually, I'm not Hallie.

 

hallie: Actually, I am.

 

Dad: Both of them? Annie? Hallie?

 

Annie: I guess you and Mom kind of think alike² 'cause you both sent us to the same camp and we met there. And the whole thing just sort of spilled out.

 

Mom: They switched places on us, Nick.

 

Dad: You mean I've had Annie with me all this time?

 

Annie: Well, I wanted to know what you were like, and Hallie wanted to know Mom. And are you angry?

 

Dad: Oh, honey. Of course not. I just can't believe it's you. Last time I saw you, you had diaper rash³. Oh, squirt, you're all wet.

 

Annie: It's all right.

 

Dad: Look at you.

 

Annie: Well, I'm grown up now and quite without a father.

 

Hallie: And I'm headed into my crazy, mixed-up teenage years and I'll be the only girl I know without a mother to fight with.

 

Dad: Hallie, you've been in London all this time? Come here, squirt.

 

Hallie: Mom 's amazing, Dad. I don't know how you ever let her go.

 

Mom: Girls, why-- why don't you let your father and I talk alone for a couple of minutes, okay?

 

Annie: Sure. Fine.

 

Hallie: Take your time.

 

Dad: I don't believe this. Seeing them together. And seeing you. Ow!

 

Mom: Let me help you with that. Oh, excuse me. Do you have a first aid kit⁴?

 

Woman: Yeah, of course.

 

Mom: Why don't you lie down?

 

Woman: Here you go.

 

Mom: Thanks.

 

Dad: So, how are you, Lizzy? Or does everyone call you Elizabeth now?

 

Mom: Oh, no, no. Lizzy's-Lizzy's fine. My dad still calls me Lizzy. Yeah. I've been, uh, been terrific⁵.

 

Dad: Yeah. You know, you haven't changed a bit.

 

Blake: Finally. There you are. Oh! Uh oh, good. You've met. Honey, Elizabeth designs wedding gown⁶s and she's going to make my-- Wait, um, I-- I don't understand. How did you two meet? And Nicky, why are you all wet?

 

Dad: You're making my fiancee's wedding gown.

 

Mom: Well, I-I didn't know she was your fiancee.

 

Dad: Well, how did we meet? How did you two meet?

 

Blake: Am I missing⁸ something here?

 

Dad: You know what? This is one small world.

 

Blake: Um , how small?

 

Annie: Hi, Mer.

 

Blake: Hello.

 

Hallie: How ya doin'?

 

Blake: Oh! Oh! Oh!

 

Dad: Honey, did I ever mention to you that Hallie was a twin?

 

Blake: No. I'm afraid you forgot that little detail.

 

Hallie: Don't feel bad, Mer. He never mentioned it to me either. By the way, I'm the real Hallie. This is Annie. She was pretending to be me while I was pretending to be her. And this is our mother, Elizabeth James.

 

Blake: This is your mother?

 

Girls: Yes.

 

Blake: You were married to him ?

 

Dad: Yeah.

 

Mom: Guilty again.

 

Blake: Oh, well. This is a small world.

 

Dad: And getting smaller.

 

Blake: And what a coincidence that we're all here on the exact same weekend. My, my, my. How sweet.
