  Charlie Salinger : Yeah, but that was three years ago.

  Kirsten Bennett : Right. He knows that. And he promised he wouldn't bring it up.

  Charlie Salinger : He had to promise? What did he have to promise not to say?

  [they reach them] 

  Kirsten Bennett : Daddy! Mommy!

  Ellie Bennett : Oh, sweetheart! Oh,

  [giggles] 

  Ellie Bennett : will you look at you. You are glowing. Will you look at her, Gene? Is she not lit from within?

  Ellie Bennett : this is a happy occasion, isn't it? Gene. Gene?

  Kirsten Bennett : Oh, why don't we go get the baggage? Um, because we're parked in a read zone, So you know what? We, um... Better move it.

  [she takes her father to get the baggage] 

  Gene Bennett : Uh-oh. Okay.

  Ellie Bennett : [to Charlie]  He's a little bit off. You see, that airline beef bourguignon just kind of bogs him down. But he just finished saying how happy he is.
