I might, yeah.
I just might reconsider.

Pull!

I miss reesa.

Oh, we don't want
to rush into it.

First I'll take Vicki back
to Cleveland to meet my parents.

Then in a month or so,
we'll have a small wedding.

Not exactly
a long engagement.

So, how do you propose
to support my daughter?

Oh, no problem there, sir.

that you and Vicki are too young

love story of all time.

They were younger.

Yes,
but I wasn't Juliet's father.

Sir, Cleopatra was a teenager
when she ruled Egypt.

And so was Joan of arc when
she led the armies of France.

If girls
are old enough to do that,

they're old enough
to get married.

Charles, I don't want
my daughter ruling Egypt

Sir.

Hi.

Now, look.

I know I don't have
any authority on land,

but I declare a truce.

When you told me
you wanted to get married,

I guess I just
overreacted a bit.

My first thoughts were,
"will my little girl

be able
to finish her education?

Where will they live?

Will Charles be able to handle
a new job and a new wife?

And are they ready
to cope with children?"

And in a more rational moment,
I realized how wrong I was...

That kids are more mature
and self-sufficient these days.

So if you both think
you can handle it,

you have my blessing.

Have fun.

and what you're doing.

Goodbye, Isaac.

[ Sobs ]

I love you.

Thank you, miss.

Well, you all ready
to go home?

-No.
-No.

Greece is the most
beautiful place I've ever seen.

I hate to leave.

Me too.

I don't want
to leave, either.

It doesn't feel right
going home without Isaac.

Well, your friend's ears
should be burning.

Here he comes.

-Isaac?
-Isaac.

Isaac...

What are you
doing here?

It's a long story, goph.

What about reesa?

You said you loved her.

I do, sir...

Enough to let her go.

Well, now that you're back,
I don't mind telling you

that we were not very happy
about losing you.

You make
a wonderful friend.

Why not?

I learned from the best.
