Nick Parker: What's going on?
Meredith Blake: Here's what's going on, buddy: the day we get married is the day I ship those brats off to Switzerland, get the picture? It's me, or them. Take your pick.
Nick Parker: Them.
[Hallie and Annie stare at each other excitedly]
Meredith Blake: Excuse me?

Nick Parker: T-H-E-M, them.
[staring into Meredith's face]
Nick Parker: Get the picture?

Hallie: You wanna know the *real* difference between us?
Annie: Let me see... I know how to fence and you don't. Or, I have class and you don't. Take your pick.
Hallie: [infuriated] Why, I oughta...!

Annie: Hallie, what was 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 want to go to the canteen and get something to drink?
Annie: Will you stop thinking about your stomach at a time like this!
Hallie: At a time like what?
Annie: [as she and Hallie step back into the

cabin] 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 Mom, and I've never seen my Dad. You have one old picture of your Mom, I have one old picture of my Dad but at least yours is probably a whole picture.
[Hallie races over to her trunk]

Annie: Mine's a pathetic little thing, ripped right down the middle... What are you rummaging in your trunk for this time?
Hallie: [she finally faces Annie as she hold a picture to her chest] This. It's the picture of my Mom. And it's ripped too.
Annie: [knowing] Right down the middle?
Hallie: [nervously]

Right down the middle.
Annie: [races over to her trunk and takes out a photo and holds it to her chest] This is so freaky. Okay. On the count of three, we'll show them to each other, okay?
Hallie: Okay.
Annie: One...
Hallie: Two...
Annie: [together with Hallie] Three!

[they both gasp as they place the photo together and realize...]
Hallie: That's my Dad...
Annie: That's my Mom...
[she hears the bell]
Annie: That's the lunch bell.
Hallie: [as she wipes away her tears] 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.
Annie: Sisters? Hallie, we're like twins!
Hallie: Oh my god!
Annie: Oh my god!
[they hug]

Annie: That girl is without a doubt, the lowest, most awful creature to ever walk the planet!
Hallie: [watching from outside, impersonating Elvis] Thank you, thank you very much.

Nick Parker: I told Hallie.
Meredith Blake: You did? And?
Nick Parker: She went ballistic. She started yelling in French. I didn't even know she spoke French.

Hallie: [playing poker with Annie at camp] I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'll make you a little deal: *loser* jumps into the lake after the game.
Annie: Excellent.
Hallie: Butt naked.
Annie: Even more excellent. Start unzipping, Parker.
[revealing her hand to Hallie]
Annie:

Straight, in diamonds.
Hallie: You're good James... but... you're just not good enough.
[revealing her hand to Annie]
Hallie: In your honor, a royal flush.

Hallie as Annie: [crying, seeing her mother for the first time] I'm sorry, it's just I've missed you so much.

Nick Parker: Hal, come here. We have to talk.
Annie as Hallie: Okay, shoot.
Nick Parker: Okay, honey... I want to know what you *think* about making Meredith part of the family?
Annie as Hallie: Part of *our* family?
Nick Parker: Yeah.
Annie as Hallie: I think -

it's an awesome idea. Inspired. Brilliant really.
Nick Parker: You do? Really? You do?
Annie as Hallie: Totally, it's like a dream come true. I've always wanted a big sister.
Nick Parker: Oh... um... Honey, I'm think you're kind of missing the point.
Annie as Hallie: No, I'm not. You're going to adopt

Meredith. That is so sweet, Dad.
Nick Parker: No, I'm not going to adopt her. I'm going to marry her.
Annie as Hallie: [leaps from her seat] Marry her? That's insane! How can you marry a woman young enough to be my big sister?
[she begins to rant, accidentally yelling in French]
Annie as Hallie: 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...
Nick Parker: Hal, Hal, Hal. Calm down, Hal!
[realizes]
Nick Parker: Were you speaking French?
Annie as Hallie: I... I learned it at camp.
[takes a breath]
Annie as Hallie: Ok, I'm

sorry. Let's discuss this calmly. Calmly and rationally.
Nick Parker: Yeah, and in English if you don't mind, right?
Annie as Hallie: Okay.
Nick Parker: 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!
[she runs from the house]
Nick Parker: Hal! Hal! Hallie!
[he looks to Chessy, who appears at a window]
Chessy, the Parker's Maid: Don't look at me. I don't know a thing.
[she closes the windows]

Annie as Hallie: [after a discussion about how Annie as Hallie seems different to Chessy] Chessy, I changed a lot over the summer, that's all.
Chessy, the Parker's Maid: OK, but if I didn't know any better, I'd say it's almost like you were... forget it, it's impossible.
Annie as Hallie: Almost if I were who, Chessy?

Chessy, the Parker's Maid: Nobody, nobody, forget I mentioned it.
Annie as Hallie: Almost if I were - Annie?
Chessy, the Parker's Maid: [slowly turning around] You know about Annie?
Annie as Hallie: [dropping her "Hallie" accent] I... *am* Annie.

Annie: [Hallie is getting ready to cut Annie's hair] Don't shut YOUR eyes!
Hallie: Okay, sorry. Got a little nervous!
Annie: YOU'RE nervous? An 11 year-old is cutting my hair!
Hallie: Hey, you sounded just like me!
Annie: Well, I'm supposed to, aren't I?
[sighs in desparation]


Annie: Go on, just do it.

Elizabeth James: [thinking she is talking to her father, who has a newspaper up between them] Hey stranger...
Hallie: [puts down newspaper. then] Hey Mom, did you know that the Concorde gets you here in half the time?
Elizabeth James: [flustered] Yes, I, I've heard that...
Annie: [after Hallie surprises

Elizabeth and Annie by arriving in London and showing up at their home before Elizabeth and Annie do] What are you doing here?
Hallie: It took us abound 30 seconds after you guys left for us to realize we didn't want to lose you two again.
Elizabeth James: We?
Nick Parker: [walking in from another room] We. I made the mistake

of not coming after you once, Lizzie. I'm not going to do that again no matter how brave you are.
Elizabeth James: 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... c'mon, Nick, what do you expect? To live happily ever after?
Nick Parker: Yes. To all of the above. Except you don't have to cry hysterically.
Elizabeth James: [With tears in her eyes] Oh, yes I do.
[he kisses her]

Elizabeth James: [Hallie, as Annie, is underneath Elizabeth's covers struggling to tell her about the switch] Annie!
Hallie as Annie: That's where I have to go; I have to go see Annie!
Elizabeth James: I see, and where might Annie be?
Hallie as Annie: In Napa, with her father Nick Parker.

Elizabeth James: You're not Annie?
Elizabeth James: That would be correct.
Elizabeth James: You're Hallie?
Hallie as Annie: 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 James: Oh darling, I've loved you your whole life.
Martin, the James' Butler: [sobbing after he kisses Grandfather's hand] I've never been so happy in my entire life!

[continues sobbing as Grandfather closes the door]

Grandpa Charles James: [Annie smells him] What are you doing?
Hallie as Annie: Making a memory! Years from now, when I'm all grown up, I'll always remember my grandfather and how he always smelled of...
[smells him again]
Hallie as Annie: peppermint and pipe tobacco.

Hallie as Annie: Doesn't designing all these wedding dresses ever make you think about getting married again; or at least make you think about the "f" word?

Hallie: [takes out a box of Oreos] Want one?
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*!
[takes out a jar of peanut butter]
Hallie: So do I!
Annie: You're kidding! Most people find that totally

disgusting.
Hallie: I know, I don't get it.
Annie: Me either.
