Blind Dating Page #3

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

Signora, take your time. Can I get you

something to Drink?

- An expresso perhaps?

- Out!

- Oh God, get out of here!

- Have you ever done it in the bathroom Danny?

I just wanna meet a normal woman.

I will tear you out

... big mama...

I have been looking so forward to this night, that I..

brought a little something along with me as a suprise.

Danny, I wanna feel the way that you feel,

I wanna see the things that you see.

I wanna be as one with you Danny.

Look!

- I have a blindfold, I can see the blackness!

- Larry!

- Doris still on vacation?

- You're bright good at this, aren't you?

I've got good instinct.

I will tell him you're here.

This is a very big decision Danny.

- You're sure you wanna do it?

- Yeah, sure I am.

- That's very brave of you Danny.

- You sound like I'm volounteering for a...

.. suicide mission? Is it?

No, no.

What I ment to say was,

neurosurgery is never without risks...

- .. and it would be wrong to say otherwise.

- What are the risks?

We really don't know.

Help!

I.. I think what Doctor Perkins is trying to sayv is that...

.. you're very couriagous...

...to try something, that has not been done,

very often.

I can take Mr. Waldesakee to a cab Doctor.

If he wants.

Sure.

They told me...

.. there's allways risks with brain surgery,

but what the hell, you gotta be brave sometime.

Sure you gotta be brave, but it's not so smart

to walk around without a cane.. Step!

Thanks Mom.

You're welcome. You're in luck, here

is the cab.

I gotta confess something,

I don't really need a cab...

.. I just kinda wanted to talk.

Oh, well, that is very sweet.

My brother Larry is gonna pick me up. He uh...

.. runs a Limo Service.

- He's not here yet.

- How can you tell?

If he were here, trust me, you'd know it.

But when he allready comes,

can we give you a ride?

Oh, thanks but I better not, my bus is here..

- .. so I better go.

- Yea. -OK..

- Bye. -Ok. See you soon!

- Thanks mom.

- Thank you.

If she brings us any more food,

we could open our own restaurant.

We don't have to. After we get married,

we're gonna take over this one.

It's all been discussed.

- Oh and what else has been discussed?

- That you will run this place..

- .. until we start having kids.

- And have you discussed when that's gonna be?

The sooner the better. And eh...

I think we start practising now.

Arvind. What if I don't want to run

this restaurant?

What if want to go to Medical School?

What?

Sorry.

The final choice isn't going to be made

on abthomal criteria.

It's probably going to be made

on a candidate's personality.

His ability to cope with the...

...success or failure of the operation.

Danny! Do you wanna join me for lunch?

I got to the Park across the road.

- I got turkey and cheese

- You have any shrimp?

- No.

- Allright.

...my brother Larry, when I was a kid,

old me thats a kid supposed to run free, in a park.
