"Grilled cheese sandwich, Mr. Professor." "Now, you pick any subject:" "literature, medicine, art and I give you the name of a Greek genius." "Okay..." "...music." " Yanni." "Game over, I win." "Yanni?" "Who's Yanni?" " You don't know Yanni?" " Thomas, cut it out." " You know who Yanni is." " I do?" "Yes." "Just the other day you said, "Boy, that Yanni and his instrumental contemporary music that defies borders."" " Oh, yeah." " Can you believe this guy?" "Yanni sold out the Acropolis three times, in rainy weather." "I heard he left that place in ruins." "Thank you, good night." "Good morning." "Guess who got an everyday low price on name-brand fashion." " What'd you buy?" "Can I borrow it?" " Sure." "Keep the tags on and don't get it sweaty." "I'm gonna return it." "What are you guys up to?" "Talking about my main man, Yanni." "Speaking of famous Greeks, I was walking down Michigan Avenue working on my posture, and guess who walked right by me." " Pete Sampras!" "ls he as cute as he looks on TV?" "You know, like my husband in real life." "I remember the first time Sampras won Wimbledon." "I thought, "Now, there is a nice Greek boy for my Nia."" "Me marry a guy who chokes in the French Open?" "Please." "You know who Pete Sampras is, don't you?" "As a matter of fact, Pete Sampras and I went to the same summer camp." "What?" " You and Pete Sampras?" " Camp Makajuwan." "Yeah." "Canoeing and sing-alongs and, of course, a lot of tennis." "My son-in-law knows Pete Sampras!" " Do you keep in touch?" " Well, no." "Well, I mean, not every day." "But I do see him every so often." "Why did you not mention this before?" "Well never came up." " His people aren't name-droppers." " That's why I love this guy." "Nico, make him another grilled cheese sandwich." " This time, use the fresh bread." " Okay." "Nia, come out and show us your Halloween costume." "I wanted to be Wonder Woman." "But Telly Savalas gets a lollipop." ""Who loves you, baby?"" "Today was the first time my dad called you his son-in-law without using these:" "It was just so silly." "I don't know why I brought it up." "You should've said it sooner." "Like, "Sir, I know Pete Sampras." "May I marry your daughter?"" "You don't know what happened today." "Dad will tell Mom." "Mom will tell Aunt Voula." "Voula will tell Chicago." "And you will go from being the black sheep to the golden ram." "Or maybe like a really cool goat." " Or maybe a great big liar." " No, it has to be an animal." "Nia, I've never met Pete Sampras in my life." " You lied?" " Well, sort of." "We were at the same summer camp, only he was more into canoeing and I was more into being there three years before he showed up." "But you said you see him every once in a while." "I do, on TV." "You lied to my family." "This is..." "This is totally fantastic." "What else can we lie about?" "Why didn't we think of this sooner?" "I know." "You were in the same fraternity as George Stephanopoulos." "They'll love that." "But let's not use it now." "We can coast on Pete Sampras till Christmas." "Nia, I am not gonna make up lies just to impress your family." "No, I'll make them up, you just say them." "We rang the doorbell, just like you asked." " Hello!" " Hello." "So we were wondering if you would like to come over tomorrow night to watch the soccer game with our friends." " That's cool, I have papers to grade." " No, I mean you." "Me?" "Wow!" "Wait, what?" "You know our house?" "You can come over to it and watch soccer." "Is this a thing where you get Thomas to go, "Okay" and then you go, "Psych"?" "If you want us to." "Thank you." "I would love to join you and your friends." " Is there anything I can bring?" " How about Pete Sampras?" "Bring him." "Or perhaps a bean dip." "Bring both." "Okay, Gus and Maria, I'm sorry, but I..." "Pete Sampras is busy." "Thomas just talked to him and he flies out tomorrow, and he said there's no time to come over." "You talked to him, on that phone?" "What did he say?" " Remind me." " He's worried about his serve." " Right." "Yes, he's very worried." " And you told him to relax." "I know, because he grips the racket." "He grips it!" "He's a gripper." " Yep." " Poor Peter." "He needs to spend time with his own people." "And his old friend Thomas." "That's right." "And our house is right on the way to the airport." " He can't stop by for 10 minutes?" " Oh, he really can't, Dad." "No Pete Sampras?" " It's too bad." " I'll call." " What's that?" " He said he'll call." " Thank you, Thomas." " Thank you, Thomas!" "Pete Sampras is coming to our house!" "Okay, here's where your white lie becomes dark and stinky." " But you told me to lie." " I know." "Okay, okay, okay." "We can fix this." "Look, I had to say it." "I mean, his face." "He looked so sad." "You know, like when he first met me." " I gotta tell them the truth." "I'll call them." " Oh, no!" " Well, then I'll go over and talk to them." " Oh, no." " You don't think I can get out of this?" " No." "Oh, yes." "I mean, yes." "Yes." "I'm just saying this is a problem that may work itself out in time." "You know what?" "It's late." "Let's just go to bed and we'll just sleep on it." "All right." "I don't know, Nia." "You think?" "Thomas, I know my parents." "By now, they're arguing about something else and obsessing." " Like, "Who invented the bouzouki?"" " Are you sure?" "Yeah." "I am sure." "I really am." " Okay." "I'll lock up." " Okay." ".Okay- .Okay" "Hi, Nikki." "He doesn't know Pete Sampras." "What?" "!" "Okay." "Now, Nia needs our help and she needs it fast." "You got me all night." "Taki's in the hospital." "Again?" "What's wrong with him this time?" "Nothing." "He just missed everyone in the ICU." "What was that?" "It's either the coffeemaker or a burglar who sounds like a coffeemaker." "Thank God." "Because if the men knew that we meet here..." "...to fix their problems..." " What would happen?" "We'd have to meet somewhere else." "I think it's sweet that Thomas wants so badly to impress his in-laws." "What if we just told Uncle Gus that Thomas never met Pete Sampras?" "Worst case, Gus never believes another word Thomas says." " And best case?" " Dad laughs, Thomas laughs." "And the whole thing brings them closer together." "We probably shouldn't count on that one." "We have no choice." "We need to find Sampras, get him to stop by the house." "And what do you think we should do, kidnap him?" " He is skinny, and there are four of us." " All right." "Let's slow down now." "The first step is finding him." "We must know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody..." "...who knows something." " I know." "I'll take Acrovopoulis to Kakavetsis." "Latukakis to Regopoulis." "Sarondokis to Zavalekis." "I'll call the Weinsteins." "Look, Dad, I got an A on my science test." "You know, Nia, the Greeks invented science." "Yeah, but I got the A." "Yes, you did." "Bravo!" " I'm going with Voula." " Never mind." " I'm going with Voula." " Now, wait." "In the car, we voted for my plan." "And as president of the secret society, I vetoed it." " Can she do that?" " I didn't even know she was president!" " Okay, cover me." "I'm going in." " All right." "Mind if I use the phone to call a guest who's a friend of mine?" "No, no, of course not." "Hi, may I speak to Pete Sampras?" "Hi, Pete, it's me, Jacqueline." "Yes, from Aspen." "Well, my flight was canceled so I bummed a ride on Sting's jet." "Well, anyway, here I am." "I" "Hope you're ready to party, because-- Okay, great." "I'll come right up." "And you just get in the shower, then." "Darn!" "Could you give me Pete Sampras' room number?" "I'd call him back, but he's getting in the shower." "We actually have phones in the bathrooms." "Yeah." "He's not a big phone-in-the-bathroom kind of guy." "So could you just give me that room number?" "It's the same as the number you dialed." " Which was?" " Oh, I'm sorry." "You know, that was a totally real phone call." "Yes, it sounded very real to me." "Okay, he's still watching." "Act like you don't know me." "What?" "Don't say "what," Mom." "It means you know me." "Who are you?" "And why are you talking to me?" "All right." "Girls, we're going to plan B." "Which clearly should have been plan A." "Is that all right, "Jacqueline"?" "Hi, we're the Sampras sisters." "Maria?" "Maria, door!" "Nick?" "I have to do everything myself." "But, who better?" " Thomas, what time is it?" " It's late." "I'm really sorry." "By any chance, is Nia here?" " She's not at your house?" " No." "Nia?" "Maria!" "Nia!" "Nick!" "There's no one in my room, I swear." "Are those my underpants?" "Mom puts them in my drawer, I wear them." " Go see if your mother is upstairs." " Ma!" " So did they go somewhere together?" " Let me think." "Maria came downstairs we put on Jason and the Argonauts she gave me a milk and a honey bun." "That's it!" "She knows that puts me to sleep." "Ma's gone." " They're having one of their meetings." " What are you talking about?" "The women, they like to get together to solve problems that they think are caused by us men." "What did you do?" "What did I do?" "What did you do?" "Don't say what did I do." "I'm your father." "Guys, guys, guys!" "I don't think this is about you." "What do you mean?" "Well, Gus, here's the thing." "I don't actually know Pete Sampras, per se." "If "per se" means not at all, you are in big trouble." " You mean you lied?" " I didn't mean to." "It just happened." " You brought a lie into my house?" " To be fair, it wasn't in your house..." "...per se." " He said "per se" again." "I heard him." "So just give me your best shot." "I deserve it." "Go ahead." "Yell at me, make fun of me, call me names." "Just please, don't give me that sad look." "Ladies, once more, I cannot give out guest information." "What can you give out?" "Other than the aroma of machismo and musk." " Oh, dear." " Look, what I'm trying to say is might you be interested in a trade?" "One suite number in exchange for another sweet number." "Oh, that's a smart line." "Let me try it out on security." "Don't bother, we're going." "Take this bag to the penthouse." " Penthouse?" "Go, go!" " Don't attract attention." "Go, go, go!" "Okay, good." "Move back!" "Move back!" "No, move back!" "I can't-- Move back!" "Crazy Sampras sisters." "No wonder their brother won't see them." "I don't want them wandering around, getting into trouble, that's why." "Well, they're not here." "Nico, look in the back." " So now are you happy?" " Why would I be happy?" "See, you never get a straight answer from this guy." "So, okay, once and for all, you never, ever met Pete Sampras?" "I know it was stupid, but I was trying to impress you." "You, the college professor, was trying to impress me, the immigrant?" " Yes." " Well, I guess that backfired." "Can you blame me?" "You're never impressed with anything I do." " Well, what do you want me to do, lie?" " Just never mind." "All right, you're a good driver." " What?" " I said, you're a good driver." " That's it?" "You like the way I drive?" " You can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles himself behind the wheel. ls he confident?" "Is he man enough to really step on the gas?" " I like the way you drive too, man." " You're not going to hug me." "Wouldn't think of it." "There must be some clue here as to where they went." "Mom's cell phone." "That's a clue." "Okay." "Now it means she doesn't have her phone, and we can't call her." "Just dial the last number she called." "Okay, but it's still my clue." "Peninsula Hotel." "How may I direct your call?" "Oh, boy." "What?" "You better sit." "It was the Peninsula Hotel." "Mom's having an affair." "Nico, the happy sheep doesn't leave the handsome shepherd." "Sounds better in Greek." " Come on." "Peninsula Hotel, let's go." " So, Gus should I drive?" "My car?" "Are you nuts?" "Don't look at me." "May I have a glass of water?" "Thanks." " You said the premises." "This is the bar." " Calm yourself, "Jacqueline."" "I've just been informed that your best friend, Pete Sampras has checked out and left for the airport." "Yes, I know, because we're all meeting Sting at the place..." " Forget it." " I've just the pill to make that happen." "I'll have a shot of whatever in your hand." " No, wait, forget it." "I have no money." " Hey, David charge the lady's drink to my room." "No, that's okay." "The lady can take care of herself." "Thank you." " I insist." " Look, Yanni, I don't mean to be rude but I'm a married woman, and-- Oh, my living God, you're Yanni!" "You are so much better than Pete Sampras!" " Nice meeting you." " Wait, I'll skip to the end!" "I married a non-Greek and my family will never accept him." "Well, David, club soda." "I'd like to hear this pretty lady's story." "Pretty?" "Check out Yanni." "There is Nia." "Hey, who's the eye candy she's talking to?" "Oh, my God, it's my family." "I apologize in advance." "Honey, I've played the Parthenon." "I think I can handle this." "Hey, Nia, who's your friend?" "That's Yanni!" "I almost hit on Yanni!" " Yanni, this is my brother, Nick." " Oh, Nick, how are you doing?" " Nice to meet you." " Yeah, you too." "I'm into girls, Yanni." " Good for you." " Thanks." " And this is my dad, Gus." " Hello, Gus." " Nice to meet you." "How are you?" " Nice to meet you, Yanni." "Your music makes my wife frisky." "Well, I do my best." " And this is my husband." " Hey, Thomas." " Long time no see." "How you been, pal?" " Fine." "Thomas and I go way back, don't we, pal?" " You know Yanni?" " Yes, you do." " Yes, I do." " Why didn't you tell me?" "Well, because my people aren't name-droppers." "That's it, that's enough!" "If the hotel had told us he checked out already then nobody would have bitten you." "Oh, my God." "It's Gus and everybody." "I wonder if they know they're standing next to Yanni." " Yanni!" " Yanni!" "Yanni!" "Nikki, let go!" "Nikki, let go!" "You're going to break him!" " I'm sorry." " Gus, I have a favour to ask of you." "Yanni, you have a favour to ask from me?" "What is it?" "An arm?" "A kidney?" "Name it." "Your daughter, she's a very beautiful woman." "Where were you a year ago?" "For her sake, I would like you to try a little harder with your son-in-law." " For you, Yanni, I try." " Okay, Gus, that's good." "I gotta catch a plane in the morning." "I'm on tour nowadays and, you know, I gotta wash my hair." " Good night, everybody." " Good night, Yanni!" "Goodbye, old friend." "Bye." "Dad, what were you and Yanni talking about?" "Oh, he just said that you should be nicer to your father." "Nice try." "Yanni!" "Yanni!"
