Mamma Mia the movie script

Answer 1

Mamma Mia! Script - Dialogue Transcript

I Have a Dream

A song to sing

To help me cope

With anything

If you see the wonder

Of a fairy tale

You can take the future

Even if you fail.

Sam Carmichael.

Bill Anderson.

Harry Bright.

Gentlemen, I have to go.

Thank you very much. Take care.

Morning, Rodney.

Taxi!

JFK, please, as quick as you can.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

I missed you. Oh, no...

We're...

- We're...

ALL: Sophie, Ali, Lisa!

We're the greatest, bestest mates!

I'm tough.

- I'm tall.

I'm tiny.

- ALL: And we're gonna rock this place.

Sophie, it's beautiful.

- I want one.

He did well, didn't he?

I'm getting married tomorrow.

I'm so glad you're here,

because I have a secret

and I can't tell anybody else.

Sophie, you're knocked up?

- No! No! No!

I've invited my dad to my wedding.

You are joking!

You found him at last?

- No! No, no, no, no, no, not exactly.

Okay. You know what my mom always said

when I asked about my father.

It was a summer romance,

and he'd gone long before she realised

that she was expecting me.

And I'd always kind of accepted that

that's all I'd ever know.

Well, I was ransacking some old trunks

and I found this.

It's the diary she kept

the year she was pregnant with me.

Sophie!

'July 17th. What a night!'

I don't know if I want to hear this!

- I do!

'Sam rowed me over to the little island.'

That's here. That's Kalokairi.

'We danced on the beach,

and we kissed on the beach,

'and dot, dot, dot.'

What?

'Dot, dot, dot.'

That's what they did in the olden days.

Stop it!

'Sam's the one. I know he is.

'I've never felt like this before.'

Honey, honey

How he thrills me Honey, honey

Honey, honey

Nearly kills me Honey, honey

I've heard about him before

I wanted to know some more

And now I know what they mean

He's a love machine

Oh, he makes me dizzy

Honey, honey Let me feel it

Honey, honey

Honey, honey Don't conceal it

Honey, honey

The way that you kiss good night

The way that you kiss me good night

The way that you hold me tight

The way that you're holding me tight

I feel like I wanna sing

When you do your thing

So this guy Sam's your father!

- The plot thickens.

'All this time, Sam's been telling me

he loves me,

'and now he's announced

that he's engaged,

'so he's gone home to get married,

'and I'm never going to see him again.'

Poor Donna.

'August 4th. What a night!

'Bill rented a motorboat,

and I took him over to the little island.'

Bill? Sophie, wait.

- Hang on.

'Though I'm still obsessed with Sam,

'Bill's so wild. He's such a funny guy.

'One thing led to another,

'and dot, dot, dot.'

'August 11th.

Harry turned up, out of the blue,

'so I said I'd show him the island.

'He's so sweet and understanding,

I couldn't help it and

'dot, dot, dot!'

- Dot, dot, dot!

Oh, my God!

- Here come the bridesmaids.

Donna!

Look at you!

God! Stop growing!

You sound like you're having fun already.

- Oh, we are.

I used to have fun.

Oh, we know!

Honey, honey Touch me, baby

Honey, honey

Honey, honey Hold me, baby

Honey, honey

You look like a movie star

But I love just who you are

And, honey, to say the least

You're a doggone beast

Bugger!

My sentiments exactly.

So, who is your dad?

Sam, Bill or Harry?

- I don't know.

But which one did you invite?

Oh, my God!

- Oh, my God!

Do they know?

What would you write to a total stranger?

'Please come to my wedding,

you might be my father'? No.

They think that Mom sent the invites,

and with what's in here,

no surprise they said yes!

Honey, honey How you thrill me

Honey, honey

Honey, honey Nearly kill me

Honey, honey

I'd heard about you before

I wanted to know some more

And now I'm about to see

What you mean to me

I'm trying to get to Kalokairi.

When's the next ferry?

What?

- Monday.

Bollocks!

- Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

Bride or groom?

Bride, although I've

actually never met her.

BILL: Ahoy, there.

You guys need a ride to Kalokairi?

Excuse me, coming through.

I have a senior citizen

with me. Thank you.

My mother needs a perch.

Mother? We're the same age.

Yeah. Well, parts of us are.

Sailor.

No.

TANYA: Oh, he has your book!

Oh...

Stavros, Stavros.

Stavros.

It's just a fish.

You are so clever.

We're going to look fabulous tomorrow.

I want the perfect wedding,

and I want my father to give me away.

Better be a wide aisle.

I will know my father

as soon as I see him.

Sky! Come here, gorgeous.

SKY: Put me down.

I'm getting married tomorrow.

Please be careful.

So?

There are pins in the dresses.

What do you think?

Oh, yes!

'Oh, yes.' If you had your way,

it'd be a three-minute wedding

in jeans and T-shirts,

washed down with a bottle of beer.

You make me sound so unromantic!

I just thought we should save

our money for travelling.

Well, we're not going anywhere yet.

Anyway, please leave.

We're very, very busy.

I'm just getting some props for tonight.

LISA AND ALI: Ooh!

For his bachelor party.

Why haven't you told him

you've invited your dads?

Because he would say that

I'd have to tell my mom.

Donna's absolutely gonna kill you

when she finds out.

By the time she finds

out, it'll be too late.

I feel like there's a part of me missing,

and when I meet my dad,

everything will fall into place.

BILL: More open!

HARRY: I'm on it. I'm on it.

That's good.

That's it.

Come on, Cleopatra.

My shoe!

Well, look at what the tide washed in?

For one night.

- And one night only.

Donna and the Dynamos!

- Donna and the Dynamos!

Look at you!

You baby!

- Look at you!

You look fantastic!

You look like an old hippie!

She looks fab.

These are new, though.

Where did you get these?

Husband number three!

Dynamos! Dynamite!

- Dynamos! Dynamite!

ALL: Sleep all day and...

All night!

TANYA: So, any men at this wedding?

Gorgeous Greeks of independent means?

Here we go! Husband number four!

No! Not for me, for her!

- He's coming!

For her, now that her

book is a bestseller,

and she's got the whole world

stuffing, what,

mushrooms? Various vegetables?

It's time to find Mr Right!

Oh, please. Boring!

Great couple of role models

you two are for Sophie!

A serial bride and a

little hermit over here!

That's me! I'm a lone wolf!

So, when are the lovebirds

flying the nest?

Oh, God! Who knows?

You know, I do not know what is going on

in that child's head sometimes.

She wants a big white wedding, and

she and Sky are making

all kinds of plans for the hotel.

Sometimes I think they'll never leave.

Yeah, but do you really want her to?

Well, I want what's best for her.

Of course not!

Sky! Come meet my backup girls.

Backup girls, my ass!

TANYA: Backup girls, my ass!

He's the leading man

at tomorrow's shindig.

SKY: The lucky man.

- Hello.

You must be Rosie.

- I am.

How are you?

- Very well.

And you must be Tanya.

I've heard so much about you.

- All bad, I hope.

Yes.

- And all true.

Donna... Here, let me get them.

I know who you are.

You're Bill Anderson, aren't you?

Bloke in a Boat in Botswana.

- Yes, I am.

You know, your books are a godsend

on dull business trips.

Now, I may look like I'm pondering

my securities, but in reality,

I'm trekking across

some remote corner of the planet.

You should try it for real sometime.

No, certainly, I'll never be

the spontaneous adventurer.

You're a close friend of Donna's?

No, I haven't heard from her for 20 years.

SAM: Really?

- And then this invite, out of the blue.

You know, that's a coincidence,

neither had I.

Going about!

- You got it!

Right. Wait...

I've got it. Fine. Fine.

You should have brought the iron lung.

Why did I wear stilettos?

Oxygen.

- Oh, my God!

Auntie Rosie!

- Hey, hey!

Look at Sophie. She's gotten so beautiful!

- I know.

Come here to me.

Sophie Sheridan, you get more gorgeous

every time I see you. You do.

I bet you don't remember me.

- Not with all that plastic surgery.

Of course I do, Auntie Tanya.

You haven't changed at all.

I'm so happy for you.

- Look at my baby,

her whole life ahead of her.

Oh, please, I'm getting married.

I'm not joining a convent!

She's feisty. I love that.

- Yeah.

She's a chip off the old block.

If she were more like me,

she wouldn't be getting married at 20.

Or married at all.

I meant to get the laundry down

before you came.

Tanya's going home!

And you'd think with all this

new technology,

they would figure out a machine

that would make the beds.

And if they did,

you'd be going along behind it,

making them again.

I know you, Mom.

But I am good at modern...

Tell them about the Internets.

He's gonna put me on the line.

- Online.

SKY: I'm designing a website.

I just think this place

has so much potential,

and no one knows we're here.

So, if I market it

really, really well, then,

hopefully, people will come flooding in.

We just want this to be

the ultimate romantic destination.

This was once supposed to be

the site of Aphrodite's fountain,

you know, the goddess of love.

And if you drank the water,

you were supposed to find true love

and perfect happiness.

I'll have a glass of that.

- Yeah, I'll have a bucket.

TANYA: Aphrodite's spa?

Well, I thought you didn't want

boatloads of tourists.

Oh, no, not boatloads, no.

But, you know, a few more would be nice.

Okay, now, the thing about the toilet,

if it doesn't flush right away, just go

and come back in a while, and it should...

Nothing works around here, except for me.

I've been running this hotel for 15 years,

and I have never had a day off.

Oh, my God! Sorry.

I work all night I work all day

To pay the bills I have to pay

Ain't it sad?

And still there never seems to be

A single penny left for me

Don't sit down there.

That's too bad

It's broken.

In my dreams I have a plan

If I got me a wealthy man

I wouldn't have to work at all

I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In a rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In a rich man's world

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find

But I can't get him off my mind

Ain't it sad?

And if he happens to be free

I bet he wouldn't fancy me

That's too bad

So I must leave I have to go

To Las Vegas or Monaco

And win a fortune in a game

My life will never be the same

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In a rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In a rich man's world

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In a rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In a rich man's world

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

It's a rich man's world

What's going on?

Do you feel it?

The earth moved, darling.

We're falling apart here.

Don't think about it, come on.

Let's go have fun.

Tanya's packed for a world tour.

Oh, Donna. Donna!

Does she wear it or floss with it?

TANYA: Floss you.

Is it edible, Tanya?

Listen to this.

'The world's most luxurious moisturiser

'contains flakes of 24-carat gold

'and extracts of donkey testicle.'

You're just jealous.

At a thousand dollars a dollop.

Tell you, that's the price you have to pay

if you wanna drink before 11:in the morning.

And we do.

- We do.

Hi.

May I help you?

Sure, we're here for the wedding.

I'm Bill Anderson.

- Huh?

I'm Bright, Harry Bright.

Sam Carmichael.

You are expecting us?

Oh, my God. Yes!

You're not Donna's daughter?

I thought you looked familiar.

Sofia.

It's Sophie.

- Well, Sofia is the Greek.

Well, I'm named after a Sofia.

I used to have a great-aunt

living on the mainland named Sofia.

Would you mind if we see our rooms

before we see your mother?

Sure.

It's just that I'd quite

like to freshen up...

before the big reunion.

No! No! I mean, yes,

but come this way.

Come on!

Oh, my God!

I got a crack in my courtyard.

I gotta go fix it.

Hey, listen, Donna? Donna.

- I'm serious. Move.

Sit down!

She won't let me go!

- I know...

I know you're going to make

a fortune with web's...

'With web's...'

- With Sky's site.

I know you're gonna make a fortune with

Sky's website, but...

- It's good.

Are you gonna be okay until then?

I think Tanya is offering

to pawn her bling.

No, seriously, Donna...

- Oh, my God.

Do you need a loan?

- No, sweet.

Oh, God, I'm just whining, you know me.

I don't need to be taken care of.

Yeah, but are you being taken care of?

What do you mean?

- Are you getting any?

Oh, you mean...

Down, boy, down, boy.

No, it takes too much energy.

Yeah. Just more plumbing

to be maintained, isn't it?

Yeah.

Oh, God, I'm so glad

that whole part of my life is over.

You know, seriously.

I do not miss it at all.

Then it's just right here. Good.

Where's Donna? Hey! Okay.

Up you go.

Hmm.

You know,

I don't want to seem ungrateful

for the scenic tour,

but might I be shown my room now?

Well, don't hold your breath, Harry,

but I think this is your room.

Can we see Donna now?

I sent the invites.

My mom doesn't know anything.

Well, she's done so much for me,

and she's always talking about you guys

and the good old days, and

I thought, what an

amazing surprise for her

that you are all gonna be at my wedding.

Hang on, Sophie.

I can't be here.

The last time I saw your mother,

she said she never wanted to see me again.

That was years ago.

Please, it would mean a lot to me.

Listen, I can see that you've been

to a great deal of trouble.

Might I suggest that we all reconvene

on your boat?

Good idea.

- Nope.

Why?

- It's an adventure, Harry.

It's good for you.

- Oh, I see.

Okay, when I sent the invites,

it was a long shot that you'd even reply.

And now you've come all this way

for a wedding.

Surely there must have been

some special reason for you to be here.

Like some siren call, maybe?

You're a little minx, you know that?

You're just like your mother.

I'm glad my boys haven't met you.

They'd never recover.

You have sons?

- Yes, two.

And someday, I'd like to bring them here.

Like you used to bring my mother?

No.

- It's Donna.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Listen, listen, she can't know.

I'm going to go. Please stay.

Promise me that you'll not tell anybody

that I invited you.

Okay? Promise?

You got it, baby.

- It's a promise.

I might regret it, but okay.

- Okay.

There wouldn't, by any chance,

happen to be a trouser press

on the island, would there?

Harry?

Bill?

I was cheated by you

And I think you know when

So I made up my mind

It must come to an end

Look at me now

Will I ever learn?

I don't know how

But I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia Here I go again

My, my How can I resist you?

Mamma mia Does it show again?

My, my Just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been broken-hearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia Now I really know

My, my I should not have let you go

I was angry and sad

When I knew we were through

I can't count all the times

I have cried over you

Look at me now Will I ever learn?

I don't know how

But I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia Here I go again

My, my How can I resist you?

Mamma mia Does it show again?

My, my Just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been broken-hearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia Now I really know

My, my I should not have let you go

You always knew how to make an entrance.

I'd better be dreaming.

You'd better not be here.

You want me to pinch you, Donna?

No! You keep your hands to yourself,

Bill Anderson.

You probably don't recognise me, do you?

Harry! It is you!

I probably changed a bit,

but you certainly haven't.

Why are you here?

What are you doing here?

I'm writing a travel piece.

I'm here on a spontaneous holiday.

Uh-huh.

I just dropped in to say hi.

Okay. What is this?

It's one of those serendipitous moments

in life when three complete strangers

share a common thought.

Strangers?

You don't know each other?

- That's generally the definition.

Okay, good, but who... Why are you here?

Who said that you could

stay up in my old goat-house?

Didn't catch the name.

- Greek lady.

Well, she spoke Greek.

- Yeah.

Or maybe she said we couldn't

stay in the old goat-house.

Yeah, maybe that was it, in Greek.

- There you go.

Yeah, that's it, that's it.

You can't stay here because

I'm closed and I'm full.

And I'm busy, I'm really...

I have a wedding, my...

Local girl's getting married...

Donna. Donna, don't worry about us.

Bill here is used to roughing it.

And Harry here...

- I'm spontaneous.

Spontaneous.

- Ah.

What about you?

Just wanted to see the island.

You know what it meant to me.

Okay, I'm gonna arrange for a boat

to take you all back to the mainland.

I have a boat, Donna.

- You have a boat?

Good, get on it,

and anchors away.

Hey, Donna...

- Away, away.

It's good to see you.

Now, baby, this should

tickle your taste buds.

Down, big fella.

I'm old enough to be your mother.

Grandmother.

Where's Sophie?

I think she went down to the beach.

- What's up?

Donna?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Talk to her.

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

Oh, me.

I have never seen such sorrow

BOTH: In your eyes

And the wedding is tomorrow

How I hate to see you like this

There is no way you can deny it

BOTH: I can see

That you're oh, so sad

So quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friend

I'm the one you must rely on

You were always sure of yourself

Now I see you've broken a feather

I hope we can patch it up

Together

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go

And the scars, they're leaving

You'll be dancing once again

And the pain will end

You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

But the sun is still in the sky

And shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more

Like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more

Like I did before

Sing a new song

It's her dad.

- Whose dad?

Sophie's dad.

Remember how I said it was Sam?

Sam the architect,

who had to go home to get married?

I'm not sure that it was him,

because there were two other guys

around the same time.

Donna Sheridan. You shady lady.

Why didn't you tell us?

Well, I never knew that

I would ever, ever have to.

I never imagined I'd see all three of them

in my old goat-house

the day before my daughter's wedding!

The old goat-house?

- The old goat-house?

No! No! Wait!

Shoot!

Rosie! Tanya!

Wait a minute! Don't let them hear you!

There's no one here.

- Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure!

Do you think

I would forget my daughter's dads?

They were all here. Sam Carmichael,

Bill Anderson and Harry 'Head Banger.'

Harry 'Head Banger.'

They must've gone

back to their boat.

I hope they run aground and drown.

What are they doing here?

It's like some hideous trick of fate.

It's very Greek.

Do they know about Sophie?

- What are they, psychic?

No! I've never told a soul.

Oh, Donna,

keeping it to yourself all these years.

It doesn't matter about me.

The only thing that matters

is that Sophie never finds out.

Well, maybe she would be cool with it.

'Cool with it'?

You don't know my daughter.

This would be like a bombshell.

Donna, they've gone!

I don't know that.

I don't know where they are.

I don't know why they're here.

And I have brought this all on myself

because I was a stupid,

reckless little slut!

Whoa!

Don't you sound like your mother?

I do not!

- Yes, you so do!

Oh, my God, I do not.

- You do, it's Catholic guilt!

You've been living like a nun.

Yeah, whatever happened to our Donna?

Life and soul of the party,

el rock chick supremo?

- Yeah, come on.

I grew up.

- Well, then, grow back down again.

Screw them if they can't take a joke.

- Screw them if they can't take a joke.

ALI: Hey, don't leave.

Whoa, Sophie.

- Sophie!

We're gonna sail around the island.

You wanna come?

You promised you'd come to my wedding.

Yes, well, your mother ejected us

from the goat-house.

She thought we'd better

get out of her hair.

Donna freaked out when she saw us.

What's all that about?

- No.

She's just not even thinking straight.

She's so stressed about the wedding.

You know, but she's got no idea

that you're her lovely surprise.

She'll be so happy tomorrow.

- You think so?

Mmm-hmm.

You took Mom's guitar!

- No, no. I borrowed it. Look.

No, where is it?

D.S.

Donna Sheridan.

And H.B.

Head Banger.

Head Banger?

- Head Banger?

I bought her this. It cost me ten quid

plus my Johnny Rotten T-shirt.

Your mother knew quite a rebel.

I was studying in Paris when I met her.

I hopped on a train

and followed her to Greece,

quite spontaneously.

I can still recall

Our last summer

I still see it all

Walks along the Seine

Laughing in the rain

Our last summer

Memories that remain

We made our way along the river

And we sat down in the grass

By the Eiffel Tower

I was so happy we had met

It was the age of no regret

Oh, yes

Those crazy years, that was the time

Of the flower power

But underneath we

had a fear of flying

Of growing old

A fear of slowly dying

We took a chance

Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall

Our last summer

I still see it all

In the tourist jam round the Notre Dame

Our last summer Walking hand in hand

Paris restaurants

Our last summer Morning Croissants

Living for the day

Worries far away

Our last summer

We could laugh and play

And now you're working in a bank

A family man, a football fan

And your name is Harry

How dull it seems

Are you the hero of my dreams?

Sophie!

Sophie!

- Please, I have to go,

but please come tomorrow, okay?

- Absolutely.

We'll be there.

- It's a promise.

Walks along the Seine

Laughing in the rain

Our last summer

Memories that remain

Sky!

Where've you been?

People have been arriving all afternoon.

No one's seen you.

I'm sorry, I was around

the island, I just...

I just lost track of time.

Where're you going?

- It's my stag do.

My last night of freedom.

Which is how some people might see it,

but for me,

it's the last night before

the greatest adventure of my life.

You know how I said I wanted

to find my father?

Soph, we've been over

this a million times.

You don't need a father,

you have a family.

And you'll never leave me, right?

Are you kidding?

You have turned my world upside down.

I wasn't jealous before we met

Now every man that

I see is a potential threat

And I'm possessive It isn't nice

You've heard me saying

that smoking was my only vice

But now it isn't true

Now everything is new

And all I've learned has overturned

I beg of you

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck

A little small talk, a smile

and, baby, I was stuck

I still don't know what

you've done with me

A grown-up woman

should never fall so easily

I feel a kind of fear

When I don't have you near

Unsatisfied, I skip my pride

I beg you, dear

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

Ladies and no gentlemen,

presenting, for one night

and one night only...

Because that's all

we've got breath for.

Speak for yourself, you old bat!

The world's first girl power band,

Donna and the Dynamos.

Super Trouper

Lights are gonna find me

But I won't feel blue

Like I always do

'Cause somewhere in the crowd, there's you

I was sick and tired of everything

When I called you last night from Glasgow

All I do is eat and sleep and sing

Wishing every show was the last show

Wishing every show was the last show

So imagine

I was glad to hear you're coming

Suddenly I feel all right

And suddenly it's gonna be

And it's gonna be so different

when I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper

Lights are gonna find me

Our song.

- Your song?

It's my song.

Smiling, having fun

Feeling like a number one

Tonight the Super Trouper

Beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue

Like I always do

'Cause somewhere in the crowd, there's you

So I'll be there when you arrive

The sight of you will prove to me

I'm still alive

And when you take me in your arms

And hold me tight

I know it's gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper

Lights are gonna find me

Shining like the sun

Look, look, look, look, look.

Smiling, having fun

Feeling like a number one

Tonight the Super Trouper

Beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue

Like I always do

'Cause somewhere in the crowd, there's you

Super Trouper lights

Are gonna find me

I can't believe you!

Excuse me! Hello.

This is a hen party. Women only!

Thank you.

- Okay.

Why are they here, then,

if it's not to ruin Sophie's wedding?

But I thought you weren't so keen

on this wedding.

I don't want them spoiling it.

They have no right to turn up like this.

What have they ever done

for their daughter?

Donna, Donna, they

didn't know she existed.

Well, they didn't need to know, did they?

I've done a great job with Soph,

all by myself,

and I won't be muscled out

by an ejaculation!

Is there a man out there?

Someone to hear my prayer?

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Won't somebody help me

Chase the shadows away

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Hi.

- Hi.

I think I should explain to Donna

that I come in peace.

Oh, no, really. You should wait

until she has a few drinks in her first.

Really.

- Good idea. Good idea.

What you drew on the boat...

This is good. This is really good.

Why don't you pursue this?

You have a real talent here.

I have enough to do here.

Is that really your dream?

Running the villa with Donna?

She just can't do it by herself.

Do you know,

I drew this whole place up

on the back of a menu one night.

I always dreamt I'd come back here.

What kept you?

What's your mother said about me?

She never mentioned you.

- Sophie?

What am I doing here?

Some air in here.

Somebody up there has got it in for me.

I bet it's my mother.

Oh, and wasn't she a ray of sunshine.

I'm gonna go get them out of here.

You go in there guns loaded,

there's gonna be questions.

Help me out of these boots.

- Come on, then.

All that fricking yoga's

made my feet bigger.

Now, listen.

Listen, what we're gonna do is,

we'll get them plastered tonight,

and then tomorrow,

Tanya and I will take them fishing.

Fishing? Oh, please.

What do you suggest we do with three men?

Well, then, now, that takes me back.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness

To the break of the day

Hello.

- You okay?

I'm fine.

Fancy Donna having a grown-up daughter!

Do you have any children, Harry?

- Well, I have the dogs, Lucy and Kipper.

That's the extent of my relationships.

I'd have loved a daughter.

I'd have spoiled her rotten.

Is your father here?

- I don't know.

I don't know who my father is.

Is there a man out there?

Someone to hear my prayer?

This is fantastic!

How on earth did Donna get money

to buy this place?

She was left some money by the old lady

she looked after when I was little.

Sofia, that I'm named after.

- My great-aunt Sofia?

I guess.

I always heard her money

was left to family.

How old are you?

- I'm 20.

Will you excuse me a minute?

I'm sorry.

Bill!

Bill, wait.

Why did your great-aunt

leave my mother money?

I don't know!

All my life, there's been

this huge unanswered question,

and I don't want any more secrecy!

What do you want from me?

- Bill, please!

Are you my father?

Yes. I think so.

Yes.

You know what comes next?

Oh, you're not going to tell me

that you have a twin sister, are you?

Will you give me away tomorrow?

Give you away?

- No! Our secret until the wedding.

Cute.

Oh, God.

Okay.

People everywhere

A sense of expectation hanging in the air

Giving out a spark

Across the room

your eyes are glowing in the dark

And here we go again

We know the start, we know the end

Masters of the scene

We've done it all before

And now we're back to get some more

You know what I mean

Voulez-vous

Take it now or leave it

Now is all we get

Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous

Ain't no big decision

You know what to do

La question c'est voulez-vous

Voulez-vous

Go dance with Mom!

Sophie, come here.

I know why I'm here.

Why didn't Donna tell me?

How long have you known I'm your father?

What? Not long at all.

Sam, listen to me.

My mom doesn't know that I know.

So can we wait until after my wedding?

Who's giving you away tomorrow?

- Nobody.

Wrong. I am.

Our secret till then.

Voulez-vous

Take it now or leave it

Now is all we get

Are you okay?

I can't breathe.

Voulez-vous

Ain't no big decision

You know what to do

La question c'est voulez-vous

Voulez-vous

Oh, my God!

I'm your father!

- Harry!

Now, that's why you sent me the invite.

You wanted your old dad

to walk you down the aisle.

Well, I won't let you down. I'll be there.

Voulez-vous

Take it now or leave it

Now is all we get

Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous

Ain't no big decision

You know what to do

La question c'est voulez-vous

For the wedding.

upside down.

Fancy Donna having a...

I'm your...

Who's giving you...

Sophie!

Soph!

Stand back, everybody.

-Give her some space.

Soph...

Baby!

Come on, Mother, rise and shine.

I was tossing and turning all night.

Those three guys are still loose

on this island.

We got to do something.

Donna! Donna! Donna! Donna.

It's all under control.

I have been tossing and turning all night.

I've got three dads coming to my wedding,

and I have to tell two of them

they're surplus. Only, which two?

It's all under control.

I'm taking Bill and Sam fishing...

We're each gonna go off.

We're gonna grab a man,

interrogate him, swap notes and decide.

And Harry's talked

Tanya into water sports.

Oh, God.

Nurse, donkey testicles, quickly!

No, after you. Please.

- No. No. Go ahead.

No, no, no, no, you first.

I want to get something off my chest.

- Me, too.

Last night,

I discovered something wonderful.

It was a wake-up call,

a way to look at myself and

what I really want out of life.

Last night? You didn't know?

You didn't even suspect that you were...

Well, no. Of course not.

That's always been a secret.

And now we... Say it out loud.

No! No! No! It's absolutely hush-hush.

I mean, for now.

All will be revealed tonight.

Talking of

revelations, last night...

You and the little lady?

I think I know what's going on.

No, you don't. You don't.

- It's obvious.

I saw it from the moment

you clapped eyes on each other.

You're kidding.

I'm gonna level with you, Harry.

I don't think I can do this.

Well, she's a wonderful girl,

but can I take her on in my life?

Bill, where's your spontaneity?

It's this...

This family, you know?

- You don't have to marry her.

What?

Hey, right in time for breakfast.

We're serving up the works here.

Think you just did.

- Sunny-side up! Lox or ham?

I'll just...

I'm just gonna...

What a mess!

Hey!

- What?

You okay?

- Yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine.

Sophie.

- What?

Last night, you and Sky... What's wrong?

Tell me. Tell me what's wrong.

I don't know what to do.

- You know what to do.

You don't have to do anything.

Not too late, I can still

call off the wedding.

Everybody will understand.

Call... Call off the wedding?

Isn't that what you want?

- No.

No.

No, that's what you want.

No!

- Yes! God!

Sophie!

You just... You have no idea.

You never had a wedding.

You never did

the marriage-and-babies thing.

You just did the baby thing.

Well, good for you.

- You know, I don't know why

you're going off on me

now! I really don't!

Because I...

God! I love Sky, and

I want to be with him!

Good! Great.

And I don't want my children growing up

not knowing who their father is.

Because it's just... It's crap!

Voulez-vous

What are you doing?

- Stop, you're terrible.

Come on, man. What are you talking about?

Okay, okay, Sophie's gonna have

an absolutely beautiful wedding, right?

You're supposed to be helping me.

You guys... He's got to get ready.

I see you kept my bagpipes.

They're supposed to ward off

unwanted visitors.

Well, you don't need bagpipes to do that.

What are you doing here, Sam?

This is our dream, remember?

Villa on the island?

- Yeah. Well, this is my reality.

Hard work and a crippling mortgage. Shoot!

And a hotel that's crumbling around me.

Look, I'll help... Let me

have a look at this...

No, that's all right, I can

deal my own disasters.

Why didn't you tell me

it was Sophie getting married?

Well, I didn't think

it was any of your business.

Why is she getting married?

Settling down on the island?

I mean, if it was up to me,

I'd be telling her to go get a life.

Yeah.

- She's a bright kid.

I know. I know.

But, you know, my daughter

has a mind of her own.

Oh, yeah. I see that. I see that.

But she's so young.

- I know.

I mean, does she know

what she really wants?

You see, I think part of her

just wants to let you know

that she isn't going to leave you

alone here, on your own.

What do you mean?

- Donna, look.

I have two grown children.

I know something about letting go.

If Sophie felt you were okay on your own,

would she want something different

for herself?

Okay, here's the thing.

I love being on my own. I really do.

You know, every morning,

I get up and I thank God

that I don't have some middle-aged,

menopausal man

telling me how to run my life.

You know, I'm free and I'm single.

And it's great.

Where are those happy days?

They seem so hard to find

I try to reach for you

But you have closed your mind

What ever happened to our love?

I wish I understood

It used to be so nice

It used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling

Can't you hear me?

SOS

The love you gave me

Nothing else can save me

SOS

When you're gone

How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone, though I try

How can I carry on?

You seem so far away

though you are standing near

You made me feel alive

but something died, I fear

I really tried to make it out

I wish I understood

What happened to our love?

It used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling

Can't you hear me?

SOS

And the love you gave me

Nothing else can save me

SOS

When you're gone

- When you're gone

How can I even try to go on?

- How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone

- When you're gone

Though I try how can I carry on?

- Though I try how can I carry on?

Donna must be tearing her hair out,

doing this wedding on her own.

What would the father of the bride

normally do?

Pay. Though my dad

drew the line at my third.

I see. Excuse me.

Harry?

Harry!

Tanya! Let's pick up

where we left off last night.

Last night never happened.

I've drawn a veil over last night.

Oh, my God. Look at the time.

I've got work to do.

Work?

- A little repair and renovation.

Come on.

You don't mess with a masterpiece.

Oh, ignore him, Tanya,

he's all mouth and no trousers.

Tanya can't ignore the chemistry

between us.

Little boys who play with fire

get their fingers burned.

You're so hot, teasing me

So you're blue

Well, I can't take a

chance on a kid like you

It's something I couldn't do

There's that look in your eyes

I can read in your face

that your feelings are driving you wild

Oh, but, boy, you're only a child

Well, I can dance with you, honey

If you think it's funny

But does your mother know

that you're out?

And I can chat with you, baby

Flirt a little, maybe

Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy

- Take it easy. Better slow down, boy

That's no way to go

Does your mother know?

Take it easy

- Take it easy. Try to cool it, boy

Play it nice and slow

Does your mother know?

Come on, boy.

I can see what you want

But you seem pretty young

To be searching for that kind of fun

So maybe I'm not the one

Now you're so cute I like your style

And I know what you mean

When you give me a flash of that smile

But, boy, you're only a child

Well, I can dance with you, honey

If you think it's funny

Does your mother know that you're out?

And I can chat with you, baby

Flirt a little, maybe

Does your mother know that you're out?

Well, I can dance with you, honey

If you think it's funny

Does your mother know that you're out?

And I can chat with you, baby

Flirt a little, maybe

Does your mother know that you're out?

Does your mother know that you're out?

Does your mother know that you're out?

Does your mother know?

Does your mother know that you're out?

Boy down! Boy down!

Yo, girls. We done good.

Yes, any colour. Doesn't matter.

There's no plan,

God knows there's no plan.

It looks great, though.

- Ella, Donna, where would you like this?

Carlos, get the meat out of the heat.

Put a cover on that

thing. That's beautiful.

And tell... lone, help him get the...

Harry, what are you doing here?

- Hello.

I just wanted to give you this.

I don't mean here, here.

I mean, why are you on this island?

- I realised...

What is this?

Now, I realised you'll have had to

tighten your belt a bit over the years,

bringing up Sophie on your own,

and I just wanted to make

a small contribution to the wedding.

I can't accept this. I can't...

- No. No.

Harry, I can't.

- No. No.

Harry? I can't...

- No, you'll have to catch me first.

Sky.

- What's the matter?

You have to help me.

- Why, what's happened?

Baby?

Sophie!

Soph.

I've done something completely insane.

All my dads are here for our wedding,

and they all think they're giving me away.

All your what?

I read Mom's diary,

and I have three possible fathers.

But how are they here now?

I invited them.

I thought that I would know my dad

right away,

but I didn't. I just...

I have no idea.

And now, my mom is gonna kill me,

and they're gonna hate me, and you...

- Hold on. Hold on.

You invited these guys

and you didn't tell me?

No, I thought you would try to stop me.

I know I messed up.

- Sophie?

Is that what this whole

big white wedding is about?

You finding your dad?

- No. No!

I wanted to take a boat to the mainland

with a couple of witnesses.

And you insisted on this sodding circus

so you could play Happy Families.

It's about knowing who I am. And I wanted

to get married knowing who I am.

That doesn't come from

finding your father,

that comes from finding yourself.

And the irony is,

I was travelling to find myself.

I put everything on hold for you.

Because I loved you

and I wanted what you wanted.

Now, I don't know.

You don't know if you love me?

Of course I love you.

I just wish you'd told me.

Is everything okay?

Sophie, what's wrong?

- Not now, Sam.

Yes, yes, yes, now.

Because I'm supposed to be

giving you away.

And how can I when I know

you're not really gonna be happy?

I've heard all this from my mother, and

I think she knows me better than you do.

I know. But I've done

the big white wedding,

and believe me,

it doesn't always end

in 'happy ever after.'

That is you. That's not me.

Okay? I love Sky more than anything

in the world. And I...

Did you feel that way

before you got married?

No.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be

getting dressed?

Where's Ali and Lisa?

I thought they were going to help you.

Will you help me?

Mmm-hmm.

Wait. It's okay, it's okay.

We have time.

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye

With an absent-minded smile

I watch her go

With a surge of that well-known sadness

And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm losing her

Forever

And without really entering her world

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind?

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes

Her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake

I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone

There's that odd melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to

those wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Well, some of that we did

But most we didn't

And why, I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind?

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do you think I'm letting you down?

Why would you even think that?

Well, because of what you've done.

I mean, the Dynamos, raising a kid,

and running a business all on your own.

Well, honey, I didn't have a choice.

I couldn't go home, you know.

When I got pregnant, my mother told me

not to bother coming back.

And I wouldn't have had it any other way.

My God, look at what we've had.

Will you give me away?

Yeah.

BOTH: Sometimes I wish

That I could freeze the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye

With an absent-minded smile

Donna!

Donna. I need to talk to you about

who's giving Sophie away.

That would be me.

- But...

What about her dad?

- Her dad isn't here.

It's what she wants.

She told me she wants her father here.

What if her father wants that, too?

- What? Sam, don't do this now.

I can't hear this now!

Donna, listen to me. This is about us.

I don't wanna talk

About things we've gone through

Though it's hurting me

Now it's history

I've played all my cards

And that's what you've done, too

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play

The winner takes it all

The loser standing small

Beside the victory

That's her destiny

I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense

Building me a fence

Building me a home

Thinking I'd be strong there

But I was a fool

Playing by the rules

The gods may throw the dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all

The loser has to fall

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain?

But tell me does she kiss

Like I used to kiss you?

Does it feel the same

When she calls your name?

Somewhere deep inside

You must know I miss you

But what can I say?

Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide

The likes of me abide

Spectators at the show

Always staying low

The game is on again

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk

'Cause it makes me feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand

I apologise

If it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense

No self-confidence, but you see

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

The game is on again

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all

And the loser has to fall

So the winner takes it all

And the loser has to fall

Donna!

The winner takes it

All

Donna, there you are.

It's okay.

- They're my best shoes.

Panic over! Here she is.

ALI: She's here.

Oh, don't worry.

- Oh, God.

I love you.

Welcome to Sophie and Sky,

and to all your friends

who have gathered together this evening.

And welcome, especially, to Donna,

who represents your family.

We are all here together in this

glorious...

- And welcome to...

To

Sophie's dad.

I have to tell you. He is here.

- I know. I invited him.

You couldn't have.

I don't know which one it is.

Oh, my God.

That's why they're all here!

- I'm sorry. Sorry. I just...

Please, please forgive me!

Please forgive me. Please.

I don't know.

Can you forgive me?

- What?

I don't care if you slept with

hundreds of men.

You're my mom, and I love you so much.

Oh, Soph.

And I haven't slept with hundreds of men.

Am I getting this right?

Sophie may be mine,

but she may be Bill's or Harry's?

Yeah, yeah. That's right.

And don't get all self-righteous with me,

because you have

no one but yourself to blame.

Yeah, if you hadn't just dumped my mother

and gone off and married somebody else...

Hey, hey, wait a minute!

I had to go home. I was engaged.

But I told Lorraine I couldn't marry her,

and I came right back.

You... You...

Why didn't you call me?

- Because I was crazy enough

to think that you would be waiting for me.

Only when I arrived, they told me

you were off with some other guy.

So, Lorraine called me an idiot

and married me to prove it.

Sorry, can I just... Might I just butt in?

Oh, Harry, don't... It's all right.

You don't have to.

No, no, I just wanted to say it's great

to have even a third of Sophie.

I never thought I'd get

even that much of a child.

Donna, you were the

first girl I ever loved.

Well, actually, you were

the last girl I ever loved.

Now, this gives me an excuse

to come here much more often.

We can find out if you want,

but I'm with Harry.

Being a third of your dad is great by me.

- By me, too.

I'll take a third.

Typical, isn't it? You

wait 20 years for a dad,

and then three come along at once.

Dearly beloved...

You know, I have no clue which one of you

is my dad, but I don't mind.

Now, I know what I really want.

Sky, let's just not get married yet.

What?

- What?

You never wanted this anyway.

I know that. Let's just

get off this island...

and just see the world. Okay? All right?

I love you.

Donna, do I take it the wedding

is cancelled?

I'm not entirely sure

what's happening right now.

Hang on.

Why waste a good wedding?

How about it, Sheridan?

You're going to need someone

to boss around on this island of yours.

Are you nuts? I am not a bigamist.

Neither am I. I'm a divorced man

who's loved you for 21 years,

and ever since the day

I set foot on this island,

I've been trying to tell you

how much I love you.

Come on, Donna.

It's only the rest of your life.

I can't conceal it Don't you see?

Can't you feel it?

WOMEN: Say I do

Oh, yeah.

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

Donna, please show it

You love me And you know it

Say I do

I do

I do, I do,

I do, I do.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

I'm so happy!

Here's to us One more toast

And then we'll pay the bill

Deep inside both of us

Could feel the autumn chill

Birds of passage You and me

We fly instinctively

When the summer's over

And the dark clouds hide the sun

Neither you nor I'm to blame

When all is said and done

In our lives We have walked

Some strange and lonely treks

Yeah.

Slightly worn

but dignified

And not too old for sex

Yeah!

Clear-headed and open-eyed

With nothing left untried

Standing calmly at the crossroads

No desire to run

There's no hurry any more

When all is said and done

Standing calmly at the crossroads

No desire to run

There's no hurry any more

When all is said

And done

That's not for me. I'm

If you change your mind

I'm the first in line

Honey, I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Sorry.

If you need me, let me know

I'm gonna be around

If you got no place to go

If you're feeling down

Speech!

I'm gonna make a speech, everybody.

Yeah, get ready.

If you're all alone

When the pretty birds have flown

Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best And it ain't no lie

If you put me to the test

If you let me try

Take a chance on me

Take a chance on me

Go, Bill.

We can go dancing

We can go walking

- As long as we're together

Listen to some music

Maybe just talking

You'd get to know me better

'Cause you know I've got

So much that I wanna do

When I dream I'm alone with you

It's magic

You want me to leave it there

- Afraid of a love affair

But I think you know

That I can't let go

If you're all alone

When the pretty birds have flown

Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best And it ain't no lie

If you put me to the test

If you let me try

Take a chance on me

Take a chance on me

It's Aphrodite!

Mamma mia Here I go again

My, my How can I resist you?

Mamma mia Does it show again?

My, my Just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been broken-hearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia Now I really know

My, my I should not have let you go

I have a dream

A song to sing

To help me cope

With anything

If you see the wonder

Of a fairy tale

You can take the future

Even if you fail

I believe in angels

Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels

When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream

I have a dream

I'll cross the stream

I have a dream

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

See that girl

Watch that scene

Dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low

Looking out for a place to go

Where they play the right music

Getting in the swing

You come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy

Night is young and the music's high

With a bit of rock music

Everything is fine

You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet Only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine

Oh, yeah

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

See that girl

Watch that scene

Dig in the dancing queen

Bye.

- Bye.

You want another one?

Do you want another one?

Do you want another one?

Let's give it to them!

- You want another one?

Let's rip it up!

My, my, at Waterloo

Napoleon did surrender

Oh, yeah And I have met my destiny

In quite a similar way

The history book on the shelf

Is always repeating itself

Waterloo I was defeated, you won the war

Waterloo

Promise to love you for ever more

Waterloo Couldn't escape if I wanted to

Waterloo

Knowing my fate is to be with you

Waterloo Finally facing my Waterloo

And how could I ever refuse

I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo I was defeated, you won the war

Waterloo

Promise to love you for ever more

Waterloo Couldn't escape if I wanted to

Waterloo

Knowing my fate is to be with you

Waterloo Finally facing my Waterloo

Waterloo Finally facing my Waterloo
