A Date with Miss Fortune Page #7

Synopsis: When Jack gets rescued by Maria, a superstitious Portuguese beauty, he has no idea that his life and luck are both about to change. During this accidental "first date", Jack and Maria project idealistic images of themselves -- images that are humorously contradicted through a series of flash-forwards to their future life together.

I see an Isabella.

Okay, look, Seora Maria.

Here's the deal.

Ok, I don't know who

this Isabella chick is,

but I'm in love with Maria.

I really need you to do

a new reading for us.

I need you to tell her we're a good match.

No Maria, no reading.

Then please call her Seora Maria

tell her you want to do a new reading.

Just please, I'm desperate here.

You're my last chance.

So, now you want the voo-doo lady's help?

You should have been a believer!

It's an international flight, you know?

You're never gonna make it.

Ahh, I'll drive fast.

I've got a few more minutes.

Ahhhh.

Doesnt feel real to me.

What?

Everything.

This whole night.

You, me, this diner.

It's like we're inside this other world

and nothing outside of this booth exists.

It's like ah, were Ina zombie movie

and we're the last two

people on the planet.

Yeah.

And like weve known each other...

Forever.

Jack?

What's the craziest thing

youve ever done for love?

Start the truck!

Start the truck!!!

What the hell are you doing?!!!

This is kidnapping!

If Maria wont come here.

I'll bring Seora Maria to her.

Are you insane?!

This is kidnapping!!!

Wilson, a little help!

Put me down you son of a b*tch.

I curse you so that bad luck

will be the only luck you have!

She seems angry.

What is she doing?

She's trying to give me evil eye.

What does that mean?

It's a European thing.

Amy, get us out of here.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

I am cursing the Patriots too!

Leave them out of this!

Stop hugging me.

I'm not hugging you.

It feels like a hug, let go!

It didn't have to be like this!

Come on.

I'm not going anywhere with you!

Everybody put gloves on!

Come on out.

I am not coming out of this truck

Don't make me come in there.

You have to kill me to get

me out of this truck.

Hey!

What are you doing?!

Whoo-oooo, she is nimble.

I'm impressed.

Listen to me, Seora Maria.

You are gonna tell Maria

we are a good match!

You got it?!

Okay.

Son of a b*tch!

She bit me!

Amy you got her?

Oh, I got her.

Jack, you alright?

Come on, lets do this!

Maria!!!

Maria!!!

I've brought our little friend!!

What are you doing here?!

I though youd give up by now!

If that's what you thought Seor Moniz

then you don't know Jack.

Does anyone have a pen?!

Call the police, Jose.

This guy is maluco!

What are you doing here, Jack?

You wouldn't hear me out before,

but I knew youd listen to Seora Maria

if I brought her here.

So, go ahead, ask her.

Maria, he is not the man for you!

He has no place in your future!

He will curse you!!

You shut up!

I'm sick of listening to you!!

Maria, some respect!

Not now.

I demand...

Enough, dad!!

I am sick and tired of being guilted

and listening to how everyone

thinks I should live my life.

Sometimes bad things just happen.

Because they do, not because I'm cursed.

A lousy coincidence...

That's all they've ever been.

But there is one person I

would like to hear from...

So, go ahead Jack.

Maria, I came here because I

wanted Seora Maria's blessing.

But the truth is...

I dont believe in her.

I-I tried, but...

I can't.

Because I cant believe in anything

that would want to keep us apart.

All I know, is what I know.

And thats that I love you.

From the first moment we met, I knew it.

I knew my life would never be the same.

And it hasn't.

I've missed you, Maria.

I have missed your

ridiculous superstitions,

your snoring, your obsessive cleaning.

I don't snore.

I even miss your insane family.

Sorry, guys.

Nahhh.

I've missed it all.

If you really feel that way Jack...

Then why did I see you

kissing that other woman?

What?

What woman?

The brunette, Jack.

I saw you kissing her at your place.

No!

No, no, no.

That was an actor who was

kissing another actor

who just kinda looks like me.

I know that sounds like

bullshit, but it's not.

I was directing them for my show,

which is all about you

and me and Seora Maria

and your family.

That's what I was trying to tell you.

A lot has changed, Jack.

Would you feel the same way...

If you knew?

You're uhh...

Immaculate conception?

I'm gonna be a dad.

What is it, what's the matter?

I think my water just broke.

Someone Callan ambulance!

Nonsense!

Maria's decided on a traditional

Portuguese home birth.

So, I'm calling the middle

wife, please bring her in.
