Harry: You go and ask her you old fart

Grandpa: Boy youth is wasted on the young

Anna (in Tess's body): [Coming back from Anna's audition, Tess looks at Ryan and begins tearing up] Mom, what's wrong?

Tess (in Anna's body): I need you to do something for me.

Anna (in Tess's body): Sure, Mom, after, after what you just did for me. Anything.

Tess (in Anna's body): It needs to happen now before all the toasts and speeches.

Anna (in Tess's body): Okay.

Tess (in Anna's body): Clearly, we're not switching back tonight. I need you to tell Ryan that you need to postpone the wedding.

Anna (in Tess's body): [Shocked] What?

Tess (in Anna's body): No, listen. I can see you're not ready for this and I can wait. I guess that I was just so happy, I wasn't thinking about what's best for you and Harry.

Anna (in Tess's body): But, but, but, Mom...

Tess (in Anna's body): - If he loves me like I think he does, he'll wait, too. He'll understand. He'll be very sweet and gracious about it. But, please...

[Crying a little more]

Tess (in Anna's body): ... just, please let him know that I love him and be as kind as you possibly can... for me.

Anna (in Tess's body): [Understanding] Okay, Mom. I know exactly what to say.

Tess (in Anna's body): I'll be along in a minute.

[Anna - Tess's body - walks over to the head table, while, Tess - in Anna's body - stands back for a minute to let a few tears]

Anna (in Tess's body): [to Ryan] Um, you should sit down.

[Ryan sits down, where Anna - in Tess's body - picks up a glass and rings it to gain the attention of the whole party]

Anna (in Tess's body): Uh, hi. Um, I, I guess I, I'm gonna start the toasts.

[Tess, in Anna's body, looks confused]

Anna (in Tess's body): So, 3 years ago, we had a really bad thing happen. We lost a Father and a Husband, and I didn't think we'd ever get over it. But then, this guy, next to me, came into the picture and everyone could see that I was happy again. I was singing in the shower again, not well, I might add...

[Everyone laughs]

Anna (in Tess's body): ... But I was still worried about my kids, Anna and Harry, whether or not they would be able to accept a new man in their life. And now I know how Anna feels. And what she feels is that...

[Anna's emotion begins to build]

Anna (in Tess's body): ... No one could ever take the place of her Dad...

[Voice breaking, tears coming in]

Anna (in Tess's body): ... Because he was a really great Dad. But somebody could be a part of a new family in its own kind of cool, new little unit and that, for someone as special as Ryan, that we would all make a little more room. Anna would really wanted her Mom to know that.

[the room begins to shake in the style of an earthquake with Anna and Tess switching back to their own bodies]

Anna: [Overjoyed to be back in her own body,] And I am so psyched to be here. I guess...

[Walks down the steps, grabs a glass of water from a waiter]

Anna: ... all I'm trying to say is, Ryan, welcome to our family.

[Raising her glass of water]

Anna: To the Bride and Groom.

[Everyone applauds]

Ryan: [In Tess's ear] What the Hell just happened?

Tess: Trust me, you don't wanna know.

[They kiss]
