Distance Between Homes and Connections Made
Hallie
How far away is London anyway?
Annie
Well, from here it's 3,000 miles, but sometimes it seems much further... How far away is your home?
Hallie
Oh, California is way on the other end of the country. Actually, here's a picture of my house.
[shows Annie a photo]
Annie
Wow! It's beautiful.
Hallie
Yeah. We built it when I was little. We've got this incredible porch that looks over the entire vineyard and-
Annie
Who.. Who's that?
[points to figure in the photograph]
Hallie
Oh, that's my Dad; He didn't know I was taking the picture then, or else he would have turned around. He's kinda like my best friend. We do everything together. What's the matter?
[Annie sighs]
Annie
Oh, it's chilly in here, that's all...
Hallie
Want one?
[pulls out a packet of Oreos]
Annie
Oh, sure, I love Oreos! At home I eat them with... I eat them with peanut butter.
Hallie
You do? That is so weird... So do I!
[surprised; pulls out a jar of peanut butter]
Annie
You're kidding! Most people find that totally disgusting!
Hallie
I know! I don't get it...
Annie
Me either.
Hallie
What's your dad like? I mean, is he the kind of father you can talk to, or is he one of those workaholic types who says; "I'll talk to ya later, honey...", but you know, never really does? I hate that.
Annie
I don't have a father, actually. I mean, I had one once, I suppose... But my parents divorced years ago. My mother never even mentions him. It's like he evaporated into thin air, or something...
Hallie
It's scary the way nobody stays together anymore.
Annie
Tell me about it.

Discussing Family Dynamics and New Relationships
Nick
Hal, come here. We have to talk.
Annie as Hallie
Okay, shoot.
Nick
Okay, honey... I wanna know what you think about making Meredith part of the family.
Annie as Hallie
Part of our family?
Nick
Yeah.
Annie as Hallie
I think it's an awesome idea. Inspired. Brilliant, really.
Nick
You do? Really? You do?
Annie as Hallie
Totally, it's like a dream come true. I've always wanted a big sister.
Nick
Oh... um... Honey, I think you're kind of missing the point.
Annie as Hallie
No, I'm not. You're gonna adopt Meredith. That's so sweet, Dad!
Nick
No, I'm not going to adopt her... I'm going to marry her.
Annie as Hallie
Marry her?! That's insane! How can you marry a woman young enough to be my big sister?! Mais tu plaisantes, j'espère. Meredith, ce n'est pas une fille pour toi. Mais c'est pas possible, je rêve. Qu'est-ce qui...
[leaps from her seat; starts ranting in French; translation: But you're joking, I hope. Meredith, she's not the girl for you. But it's not possible, I'm dreaming. What...]
Nick Parker
Hal, Hal, Hal! Calm down, Hal! Are you speaking French?
[beat]
Annie as Hallie
I... I learned it at camp. Okay, I'm sorry. Let's discuss this calmly. Calmly and rationally.
[takes a breath]
Nick
Yeah, and in English, if you don't mind, right?
Annie as Hallie
Okay.
Nick
Sweetheart, what has gotten into you?
Annie as Hallie
Nothing, nothing, just... just... Dad, you can't get married! It'll totally ruin completely everything!
Nick
Hal! Hal! Hallie!
Chessy
Don't look at me, I don't know a thing.

Reunions and Revelations in The Parent Trap
Nick
Hello, Liz.
Nick
Is there something going on here that I should know about? Because I'm stunned to see you. But, ah, you don't seem as stunned to see me. I mean I haven't seen or heard from you in what, 10, 11 years? And all of sudden on the very day that ...
Annie
Dad, I can explain why she's here.
[suddenly appearing, interrupting]
Nick
Hallie, you know who this is?
Annie
Actually, yes. And actually, I'm not Hallie.
Hallie
Actually, I am.
[suddenly appearing]
Nick
Both of them? Annie, Hallie?
Annie
I guess you and Mum kind of think alike because you both sent us to the same camp, and we met there, and the whole thing just sort of spilled out.
Elizabeth
They switched places on us, Nick.
Nick
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 Mum and – are you angry?
Nick
Oh, honey, of course not. I just can't believe it's you. Last time I saw you, you had diaper rash. You're all wet.
[they hug]
Annie
That's all right.
Nick
Look at you!
Annie
Well I'm quite 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.
Nick
Hallie, you've been in London all this time? Come here, squirt.
[Hallie nods; they hug]
Hallie
Mom's amazing, Dad. I don't know how you ever let her go.
Elizabeth
Girls, why-why don't you let your father and I talk alone for a couple of minutes, okay?
Hallie
Take your time.
[Annie and Hallie walk away]

Reviewing the Mother's List
Martin
All right, shall we review your mother's list?
Annie
Mm-hmm.
Martin
Now, let's see... Vitamins?
Annie
Check.
Martin
Minerals?
Annie
Check.
Martin
List of daily fruits and vegetables.
Annie
Check. Check. Check for fruits, check for vegetables. Go on.
[Martin looks at her oddly]
Martin
Sun block, lip balm, insect repellent, stationery, stamps, photograph of your mother, grandfather... and, of course, your trusty butler, me.
[Annie bites back a smile]
Annie
Got it all, I think.
Martin
Oh, and, um, here's a little something from your grandfather; A spanking-new deck of cards. Maybe you'll actually find somebody on this continent who can whip your tush at poker.
[holds out a deck of cards]
Annie
Well, I doubt it, but thanks.

Unexpected Reunion at the Airport
Elizabeth
Hey stranger.
[thinking she is talking to her father, who has a newspaper up]
Hallie
Hey Mom, did you know that the Concorde gets you here in half the time?
[puts down newspaper]
Elizabeth
Yes, I, I've heard that...
[flustered]
Annie
What are you doing here?
[after Hallie surprises Elizabeth and Annie by arriving in London and showing up at their home before Elizabeth and Annie do]
Hallie
It took us about 30 seconds after you guys left for us to realize we didn't wanna lose you two again.
Elizabeth
We?
Nick
We. I made the mistake of not coming after you once, Lizzie. I'm not gonna do that again no matter how brave you are.
[walking in from another room]
Elizabeth
And I suppose you just expect me to go weak at the knees, and fall into your arms, and cry hysterically. And say we'll just figure this whole thing out. A bi-continental relationship with our daughters being raised here and there. And – And, you and I just picking up where we left off and growing old together. And... and... come on, Nick, what do you expect? To live happily ever after?
Nick
Yes. To all of the above. Except you don't have to cry hysterically.
Elizabeth
Oh, yes I do.
[with tears in her eyes; they kiss]
Hallie
We actually did it.

Revelations About Mom Spark Urgency for Action
Hallie
Oh my God, Mom's incredible! I cannot believe I lived my entire life without knowing her! Sh-She's beautiful, and fun, and smart, and I love the gowns she designs...!
Annie
But–
[tries to interrupt]
Hallie
...And I got her talking about how she and Dad first met! And, if you ask me, there's like a whole possibility, like–!
Annie
Hallie, stop! We've got a major problem! You're going to have to bring Mother out here, immediately!
[desperately]
Hallie
Immediately?! Are you nuts?! I've only had one day with her! I'm just getting to know her. I can't... I won't!
Annie
But this is an emergency! Dad's in love!
Hallie
Get out of here! Dad doesn't fall in love! I mean, at least, not seriously...
Annie
Trust me, he's serious about this one. He's always holding her hand, and kissing her neck and waiting on her hand and foot!
Hallie
He is?
Annie
It's disgusting!
Hallie
Well, you'll just have to break em up! Sabotage her, do whatever you have to!
Annie
I'm trying, but I mean, I'm at a slight disadvantage; I only met the man 12 hours ago! Hal, you've got to get back here to help me!
Hallie
Annie, I can't – I want more time with Mom!
[holds up a cellophane-wrapped candy and gets an idea]
Annie
Thanks for the help, Hal.

Searching for Annie in Napa
Elizabeth
Annie! Annie!
Hallie
That's where I have to go! I have to go see Annie!
Elizabeth
Oh, I see, and where might Annie be?
Hallie
In Napa, with her father Nick Parker.
Elizabeth
You're not Annie?
Hallie
That would be correct.
Elizabeth
You're Hallie?
Hallie
I am. Annie and I met up at camp and, and we decided to switch places. I'm sorry... but I've never seen you and I've dreamt of meeting you my whole life, and Annie felt the exact same way about Dad, so... so we sort of just switched lives. I hope you're not mad, because I love you so much, and I just hope that one day you could love me as me, and not as Annie.
Elizabeth
Oh, darling, I've loved you your whole life.
[kisses her]
Martin
I've never been so happy in my entire life!

Were they? OK, that's good. Ah, well then I'm just going to go back to my room and check out the ol’ minibar situation.
Martin
Allow me to assist you.
Elizabeth
Wait! Does everyone here know something I don't know?!
Annie
Mum... Daddy's getting married.
Annie
To Cruella de Vil – She's awful, Mom! We can't let him go through with it!
Hallie
She's all wrong for him, Mom! And the only way he won't marry her is if... You tell her, she knows you better.
[stops; to Annie]
Annie
Is if he sees you again.
[sits down next to her mother]
Elizabeth
Wait a minute... You're not trying to set me up with your father?!
Hallie
Actually, we are. You're perfect for each other!
Elizabeth
Hold it! You two knew about this?!
[notices both Martin and Chessy trying to sneak away]
Chessy
What?! Oh, no!
[feigning ignorance]
Martin
No! Madame, no! Absolutely no idea–!
Chessy
No, no, no, no! I had no idea–! ...Yes. I did know something...

Chessy
I had an inkling, anyway...

Reflections on Marriage and Wedding Gowns
Hallie as Annie
So, doesn't designing all these wedding gowns ever make you think about getting married again, or at least make you think about the "F" word?
Elizabeth
The "F" word?
[surprised]
Hallie as Annie
My father.
Elizabeth
Oh! Oh, that "F" word! Well, no actually, because I didn't even wear a wedding gown when I married the "F" word.
Hallie as Annie
You didn't? Why not?
Elizabeth
Why the sudden curiosity about your dad, huh?
Hallie as Annie
Well, maybe because he's never mentioned? And you can't blame a kid for wondering. Mother, you can't avoid the subject forever. At least tell me what he was like.
Elizabeth
Okay. He was quite lovely, to tell you the truth. When we met he was... actually, entirely lovely.
Hallie as Annie
All right?
Elizabeth
All right.
Hallie as Annie
So, did you meet him here in London?
Elizabeth
We met on the Q.E. 2.
Hallie as Annie
Q.E. what?
Elizabeth
The Queen Elizabeth II. It's an ocean liner that sails from London to New York... cause I wasn't keen on flying then, and neither was your father. We met our first night on board ship. We were seated next to each other at dinner. He's an American, you know.
Hallie as Annie
No kidding? So, was it love at first sight?
[feigning ignorance]
Elizabeth
I knew you were going to ask me all these questions one day!

Memories of a Mother Through Hidden Photos
Annie
Hallie, what's your mother like?
Hallie
I never met her. She and my dad split up when I was a baby, maybe even before, I'm not sure. He doesn't really like to talk about her... but I know she was really beautiful.
Annie
How do you know that?
Hallie
Because my dad had this old picture of her hidden in his sock drawer and he caught me looking at it all the time so he gave it to me to keep. I'm really thirsty, you sure you don't wanna go to the mess hall and get a lemonade?
Annie
Will you stop thinking about your stomach at a time like this?!
Hallie
At a time like what?
Annie
Don't you realize what's happening? Oh man, this is beyond coincidence, this is beyond imagination! I only have a mother, and you only have a father... You've never seen your mum, and I've never seen my dad. You have one old picture of your mum, I have one old picture of my dad! Well, at least yours is probably a whole picture; Mine's a pathetic little thing, ripped right down the middle...! What are you rummaging in your trunk for this time?
[as she and Hallie step back into the cabin; notices Hallie going through her trunk]
Hallie
This. It's the picture of my mom. And it's ripped too.
[she finally faces Annie as she holds a picture to her chest]
Annie
Right down the middle?
[knowing]
Hallie
Right down the middle.
[nervously]
Annie
This is so freaky. Okay. On the count of three, we'll show them to each other, okay?
[races over to her trunk and takes out a photo and holds it to her chest]
Hallie
Okay.
Annie
1...
Hallie
2...
Annie and Hallie
3!
[together]
Hallie
That's my dad...
Annie
That's my mum... That's the lunch bell.
[she hears the lunch bell]
Hallie
I'm not so hungry anymore. So if your mom is my mom, and my dad is your dad... and we're both born on October 11th, then you and I are... like... sisters.
[as she wipes away her tears]
Annie
Sisters? Hallie, we're like twins!
Hallie
Oh my god!
Annie
Oh my god!

A Playful Exchange Among Camp Friends
Zoe
I swear I heard your evil clone sneezing all the road across the mess hall.
Hallie
That's the fashion, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it!
[sings]
Hallie
I'm tired. I'm crawling back into bed and sleeping until lunch.
Nicole
That does not seem like a possibility, babe.
Hallie
No luck.
Annie
That girl is without a doubt the lowest, most awful creature that ever walked the earth!
Hallie
Thank you. Thank you very much.
[She and Zoe and Nicole are pink from pent-up laughter. They slap hands as the two Marvas approach, clipboards at the ready]
Marva Senior
Good morning, girls.
Girls
Morning, Marvas. Marvas?!
[The girls respond automatically]
Marva Senior
Navajos! Surprise inspection! Ten-shun!
[She reaches for the handle to the screen door, but Hallie is blocking the road]
Hallie
No, Marva, don't go in there. One of the girls got sick and it's a big mess. Save yourself the aggravation. It's really disgusting.
[She thinks fast]
Marva Senior
Well, if someone's sick, darling, then I must go ahead.
[She reaches for the handle again, and Hallie tries to stop her. Above the doorway is perched the bucket with chocolate syrup. The Marvas are about to get it]
Hallie
No, really! I can't let you go in. She's highly contagious!
Annie
Actually, we're all quite fine in here. Unless Hallie Parker knows something we don't. Really, I exist, open the door and come see for yourself, ma'am.
[She looks above the door]
Hallie
I warned you it was a mess in there!
Annie
She should know. She did it!
Marva Senior
You and you. Pack your bags.
Marva Senior
The rest of you go on back to your activities. You two–– The isolation bunk.
[She gestures toward a lonely cabin perched on top of the hill]
Marva Senior
We have six weeks left of camp. And you two, who refuse to get along, are going to spend every glorious one of them together.
Marva Junior
You eat together, you'll bunk together and do all of your activities together. Either you'll find a fashion to get along or you'll punish yourselves far better than we ever could.
