But Toula is looking for more in life. Her mother convinces Gus to let her take some computer classes at college (making him think it's his idea). With those classes under her belt, she then takes over her aunt's travel agency (again making her father think it's his idea). She meets Ian Miller, a high school English teacher, WASP, and dreamboat she had made a fool of herself over at the restaurant; they date secretly for a while before her family finds out. Her father is livid over her dating a non-Greek. He has to learn to accept Ian; Ian has to learn to accept Toula's huge family, and Toula has to learn to accept herself.

Quotes:
Gus Portokalos: It is YOUR LUCKY DAY... to be baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church!
Gus Portokalos: You know, the root of the word Miller is a Greek word. Miller come from the Greek word "milo," which is mean "apple," so there you go. As many of you know, our name, Portokalos, is come from the Greek word "portokali," which mean "orange." So, okay? Here tonight, we have, ah, apple and orange. We all different, but in the end, we all fruit.
Toula Portokalos: When I was growing up, I knew I was different. The other girls were blonde and delicate, and I was a swarthy six-year-old with sideburns.
Toula Portokalos: I had to go to Greek school, where I learned valuable lessons such as, "If Nick has one goat and Maria has nine, how soon will they marry?"
Gus Portokalos: There are two kinds of people - Greeks, and everyone else who wish they was Greek.
Angelo: Hey Ian, we're gonna kill ya! Opa!
Toula Portokalos: [Pointing to Ian's bruised nose] What happened? Biker fight? nose job? What?::Ian Miller: Uh... yeah.::Toula Portokalos: No, really.::Ian Miller: You don't want to know.::Toula Portokalos: Oh I don't know. If I had survived an old lady ass-kicking I would want to brag about it.
Maria Portokalos: Nicko! Don't play with the food! When I was your age, we didn't have food!
Aunt Voula: What do you mean he don't eat no meat? [the entire room stops, in shock] Oh, that's okay. I make lamb.
Maria Portokalos: Toula, on my wedding night, my mother, she said to me, "Greek women, we may be lambs in the kitchen, but we are tigers in the bedroom."::Toula Portokalos: Eww. Please let that be the end of your speech.
