Kay: Now, Pops, please. If were going -- Mr. Banks: -- and whats his last name? I hope its better than his first one.

And who in Gods name -- To say the least, Mr. Banks isnt taking it well, and to make matters worse, he must host cocktail parties with the in-laws-to-be, initiate financial planning talks with Buckley, and moderate family conferences on who will be invited to the reception. Who can blame him when he sinks so low as to offer Kay $1500 to elope? But Mr. Banks holds his peace, and when the last wedding guest has departed from his confetti-matted house, he has his memories, and you have a merry record of his tribulations.
