Blind Dating Page #2

Synopsis: U.S.-based Leeza works in Dr. Perkins Medical Research Facility. Her mother, originally from India, was single when she arrived in America, and fell in with a Caucasian male as he looked like a movie star. Her dreams were shattered when he married a prettier Caucasian, leaving her to marry an East Indian. Leeza, now engaged to a boy of her father's choice, namely U.S.-based Arvind, meets with Danny, a Caucasian who is blind since his premature birth. He has enrolled himself at Dr. Perkins facility to try out a new procedure that will result in surgery to a part of his brain to restore his visual cortex, enabling him see in fuzzy black and white images. She is attracted to him, but is aware of her commitment to marry Arvind and feels it would be against the Hindu culture (where love is measured with loyalty, trust, respect, and commitment) to break off her engagement - especially when it seems that Danny may be able to see, reject her, and get involved with a much more attractive female

There'll be volounteers much papa,

so what's the hurry?

The doctor said that family is

Important.

- Yeah Mama. It's important to stay out of it.

- To give support.

- Maybe tomorrow we can drive you there?

- No it's alright, Jay's given me a ride.

Ohhh, Jay's gotta wheels now,he?

Let go my ears.

Ohh sh*t!

Danny, what are you doing?!

In which way, man?

Man. That's wheels.

- Hey you don't need a ride to make it home?

- Yeah.

- Alright buddy, have it going alright?!

- I'll do.

I thought you told mom that

you'll gonna be here watching her...

Second.

- Are you ok?

- I'm fine.

Noooo!

Where is Doris?

Hey, where is Doris?

- Look, what do you want, can't you see I'm busy?

- No, I can't see that you're busy

Can't you see that I'm f***ing blind?

He said the B-word!

He said the B-word.

- What happened to Doris?

- She's on vacation.

It's too bad, I liked her.

What're you staring at?

The signal from the camera

which is mounted on the glasses...

.. goes directly to a chip,

which is implanted in the visual cortex of the brain.

- So my eyes are not part of the process then?

- Absolutely, the camera bypasses them.

But Danny remember. We don't

see with our eyes.

We see with our brains.

Now,

I'd like to tell you that if the

operation is successfull,

.. you would be able to see like

everyone else.

But that's not going to happen.

The best you can hope for...

...is a fuzzy black and white image...

.. may it'll be good enough to keep

from bumping into things..

.. may be it'll be enough to see your face.

Yea? Oh, thank you..

Yes, please

It's doctor Evans. I'd asked her to join us.

I know you know her.

You'll feel comfortable with her

She's going to be a vital

member of the team.

Doctor Evans.

Ohh, Doctor Perkins.

Amarige.

Yes, Danny that's right.

That's my new set.

- Do you like it?

- Yeah.. yeah it suits you.

What do you think doc?

It smells good.

Doctor Evans is going to be responsible for

putting together the psychological reports..

.. of all the potential candidates

for this operation.

- I'd have no problem with that.

- Good.

So all we really need to know,

that if the FDA gives us green light.

Can we put you down as

a potential candidate?

Oh, you can take your time, Danny.

This is a... very important decision.

- So, do you have someone leading you?

- No, I'll get a cab, if you can

put me in the right direction.

You know how to get out

of the building,right?

Hang to the left, go about 15 paces

you should reach the street...

...and a cab should be waiting there.

- Sounds good. -Ok.

- I can take him Doctor Perkins.

- I'm leaving now.

- I think I can manage, Doris.

The name is Lisa.

Why doesn't he use his cane?

Because he doesn't think himself as blind.

- Good night, Doris.

- Good night, Danny.

Taxi!

Lisa, you're late, they are waiting for

you.

- Arvind is here?

- And Mr. Bhat.

I'm sorry, I forgot.

I think you shouldn't say that

to your future husband.

Go go go

- You are in big trouble.

- Take a hike Ravi,

or I tell them what I found under your bed.

- Hey - I'm sorry I'm late.

- It's ok.

I apologize for keeping you waiting.

Why? Do you not speak English?

Of course I speak English.

I see your daughter does not forward

traditions or respect to elders..

...as well as punctuality.

For my daughter, punctuality is

an aspiration..

.and respect has to be earned.

Nice pal! That's my computer.

- I'm sorry, I didn't see it.

- Just pick it up and give it to me.

Relax, I'm looking for it.

Just give it back.

So they know you're blind,

They'd find out sooner or later.

It's none of their business.

Besides, in fact he was rude.

I should've smacked his face.

- You didn't tell me that he was rude to you.

- Yeah, he was rude.

You wanna turn around by now?

I would beat the sh*t out of him.

No, killerman, may be later.

- Is there something in the back?

- Yeah.

Suzie is in the back.

- Suzie? -Suzie

- Who's Suzie?

Ehmm, Danny...

Suzie is a hooker.

- And she's in the back with someone?

- Yes she is.

Oh Jesus, what's going on?

Look I haven't got a booking.

I've been running out the

car for my lady friends...

.. and they take care of the business

in the back with their Johns...

...now the Johns, they have to pay an extra 50$

cause thats classified as kinky sex.

That extra 50$ goes to the house.

Your's truly.

- Hey you wanna go something to eat man?

These soundstracks make me hungry.

- So you gonna through with this surgery

or operation or what? -I don't know.

- What do you have to lose?

- Half my brain?

- Half your brain? What do you mean?

- I told you,

...they have to implant this chip

in my brain.

- This is like brain surgery?

- Yes genius, like brain surgery.

You are a slap.

- What 're you doing?

- You're making a mess.

Look at you face!

This may have like a significant "oops" factor?

What?

"oops" we lost your the half of your

childhood memories. Sorry!

Exactly.

What's the opposite?

Well they said if it works, they set the mother of this

I can get a...

fuzzy, black and white image.

No no no, we don't want anything less than

full blure HD colour, you know?

Digital!

- Denver

And looked still alive.

- Watching him die..

- Excuse me..

Yes, picture.

Oh you wanna take a picture?

Sure, alright.

That's him!

- Have you told your brother how hansome he is?

- Not today! -Well tell him!

Hey Danny, you're gorgeous.

- Well you are.

- Thank you.

Hey, Danny...

.. anytime you wanna go in the back

of your brother's limo with me...

No charge of course.

- Ok you boys.

- You little sexy thing.

- Have a great night.

- Hey, I'll see you tomorrow.

- I see you!

- Alright.

What a woman.

She just made you an offer

you can't refuse.

Oh stop it!

Danny, what top top bullshit means?

Watch your step. You know,

we both know you haven't done it!

In your age, it's not natural man!

That could stop to build up all kind of pressure and..

.. let's not forget about your prostate.

No, no, no,hold on, hold on.

This is why all guys have all those problems!

No sex.

You think having a relationship,

hasn't been on my mind?

I'm not talking about a relationship.

I'm talking about sex.

You know, Danny,

You do wanna do it with a women? Right?!

Yes, of course I do.

I just had a kind of headaches, you know?

You gave me kind of a heart stop for a second.

Look, you don't understand Larry,

I don't want something cheap..

I'm looking for the real thing.

Fine, so you hook up with one nice girl.

I don't want anything arranged, neither a hooker.

OK, no hookers. I'll find a good girl for you.
