A Date with Miss Fortune Page #6

Oh, I had a very bad case of love brain.

Oh god, could he make me laugh.

We were always laughing.

So one day he asked me to marry him.

That night, I prayed to God,

that Seora Maria would see

a bright future for us,

that we were a good match.

When we went to see her,

she looked me straight in the eye and said,

"He's not the one".

You see...

I knew he was the one,

I didn't dare go against the community.

You know how Portuguese people talk.

So, we broke up and it broke my heart.

A week later, Seora Maria

was calling him every day.

She wouldn't give any body

permission to marry him.

I ended up getting married

six months later.

Seora Maria was in love with dad?

No.

She was in love with Uncle Joao.

But that would mean that

you and Uncle Joao...

Were madly in love.

When I wasn't given

permission to marry him,

I was introduced to his older brother,

your father, and I settled down.

Not knowing the future

can be very frightening.

But it's the beauty of life.

Lose your fears, Querida.

Stop trying to control the

future and start living it.

Everybody makes mistakes.

But if you're too scared

to make them on your own...

You might miss out on something wonderful.

Querida.

I should have listened to

my heart, not Seora Maria.

Hello Jack, I'm umm, I'm pregnant.

Uhh.

Hello Jack, how are you?

I'm umm, I-I-I'm pregnant.

No um, hey Jack, umm, guess what?

Oh come on dummy get a grip.

Okay.

And, cut!

Perfect, it's looking great

guys, looking great.

Can we take it one more time

from the top of this scene?

Mhmm, yeah.

Wanna find another joke here?

Yeah, I'll figure it

out, I'll figure it out.

It's great though, it's great.

Brian, this time deliver the line

about the underwear with frustration.

Like you can't believe

shed even suggest that.

It looks like the sun will be up soon.

Yeah.

This is my favorite time,

right before dawn.

So peaceful.

Before anyone's has had a chance

to step out and ruin it all.

When I first came in here you

were listening to something,

what was it?

It's a song my cousin wrote.

It's kinda sad.

Mind if I listen?

Okay, come sit next to me

Time's running out

Only minutes away from saying goodbye

Will I see you again?

Can't let something this

perfect come to an end

So close, but yet so far,

thought I knew just who you are

Breaking down

My heart is through and through

How is it that you cant see you...

Are the one for me?

We almost had it all

But lost it somehow

My heart was placed with hope

But the flicker's going out

We almost had it all

But fate has taken you

Ladies and gentleman youve

all been so wonderful

and so patient, we're gonna be

going in about five minutes.

Enjoy the show!

Five minutes buddy!

We are gonna kill this.

What if we don't, huh?

What if our show ends up like

the "Marty's Party" pilot.

What is that I never saw that?

Exactly!

The studio audience was so silent

they pulled the plug before the second act!

Hey shh, that is not gonna happen here.

We are gonna rock this!

I promise you.

I need this, Wilson, this is my last shot.

I can't work at a Starbucks,

the learning curve there looks ridiculous!

Hey, guys.

What do think of Seora Maria's make-up?

I like it.

Looks good.

Let's make her creepier, huh?

Break a leg.

Break legs, Thelma.

Break legs!

Nice.

Here we go.

I don't care.

Mr. Bojangles totally

threw me under the bus.

Don't blame Mr. Bojangles.

You know, I specifically asked you

if you threw out the bathroom garbage.

And you said, "Yes!"

I thought I did.

I'm sorry!

So...

No uhhh, sex tonight?

Yes! Yes!

C'mon man, c'mon!

Don't make fun of Seora Maria!!

Oh, come on, she's a

freakin' fortune teller!!!

Who always happens to always be right!

She was right about my

dad, right about your mom,

right about my dad hooking

up with your mom!

She's never wrong!

Well, shes wrong about us.

All I know, is what I know.

And that's that...

I love you.

This is about you and me, not

about you, me and Seora Maria!

You called?!

What do you want?

I need to speak with Maria.

You've done enough to Maria!

I'm not leaving until I speak to her.

I should kill you for

what you did to Maria!

You have no respect!

You come here and use my front door?!

Nobody uses my front door!

Not even the mailman!

I'm not leaving.

Daddy, who is it??

Nobody...

Maria, It's me!

I have to talk to you.

There's nothing left to say Jack.

I still love you.

Do you still love me?

What are you doing?

I'll do anything for

another chance with us.

Whatever it takes...

Too much time has passed and I've moved on

and so have you.

That's not true.

I just finished shooting

my show and it's all...

I'm not feeling well.

Goodbye, Jack.

All you've ever done is upset her.

Oh, what the hell?!

Oops, sorry, we uhh...

We came here to you to celebrate

and you werent here so we...

We kinda started without you.

Hey, hey, Jack, uhh...

Hey.

Uh, Lisa from plumbing asks

about you all the time.

Hey dude, we did it!

The network ordered 12episodes right away!

We totally banged it man!!

Amy, can I talk to Wilson alone for a sec?

Yeah, yeah of course.

I'll uhh, see you in the

truck my little samosa.

Yes, yes, yes.

My big big hammer.

Dude, were you mad

that I was getting my pipes

cleaned on your couch?

No.

I bet you wish you had sprung

for scotch-guard now huh.

You should be drinking with me, we did it!

They're talking about a

Thursday night time slot man!

I went to see Maria.

And cancelled before we aired.

She wouldn't hear me out and

I don't know what to do.

This isn't going away, is it?

When we were writing, it was

like I was still with her.

I know its pathetic.

No, I get it.

I get it now that we're done

you feel like youre

losing her all over again.

Ah, sh*t buddy.

Alright.

I know what to do.

Here we go, here we go.

You ready?

This is stupid.

I love you.

Lets do this.

Come on, come on.

This is never gonna work Wilson.

Yes it will.

Look, all you gotta do is get

the old broad to give you the

thumbs up and then Maria

will take you back.

Okay, lets do this.

Hey, there.

Money.

Nice to see you too.

Want me to...

Alright.

I know its nuts, right?

But what do you got to lose?

Nothing.

You're like a little Portuguese ninja.

Shhh!

I see a quarrel in your

past that haunts you.

I see a reunion!

A man...

Apologizing.

Your father...

He feels guilty because he

forced you to play sports.

He realizes that he's been

trying to live his dreams through you.

That never happened.

I'm talking to him!

Oh my god.

That makes so much sense now.

He named me after a volleyball...

Look Seora Maria, kay we are

here to see my future, not his.

He paid, not you.

Jack I gotta go, I gotta call my dad.

I see you chasing a woman.

No wait...

Another.

I see you chasing two women.

That can't be.

Who are they?

I see Maria.

Who's the other?

Hmmmmm.

It's to murky, I can't tell.

No no, wait...
