Blind Dating Page #4

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

That's what parks are for.

But he didn't tell me about trees.

I really hate trees. Like a lot.

- Can we take a walk?

- Wait a minute.

You want me to follow you?

No, you lead. I just give you a shoulder.

- Rights

- Lead.

- Where are we going?

- Do you like baseball?

- I don't know, I've never been.

- You've never been? -No.

You'll love it. It's a beautiful game.

You got the smell of the grass...

.. the sound of the ball when it gets crushed.

- There is nothing like it.

- Maybe I should go sometime?

Does Doctor Perkins talk to you about

the operation?

Yeah, he said the final choice will be

based on personality.

You're not gonna have a problem there.

- I am not so sure about that.

- Danny, I've worked with a lot of visiually impaired people...

.. and I can honestly say, I've

never met anyone like you.

- What do you mean?

- Well...

.. it's this feeling oyu give to other people.

- And you don't use your cane..

- I use my cane.

- Not always! And that's supid and

dangerous and...

...also kind of brave.

- You thought about a guide dog?

- Oh yeah, walk dogs.

Just got this little problem with dog sh*t.

I guess what I wanna tell you is, you're ok.

Think I'm ok enough that you have dinner with me?

OK!

- Who are these friends you're going out with?

- Just friends from the hospital mom. Bye!

- Thank you.

- Thanks. I mean I like to read..

...but I love to watch movies, because movies...

.. they don't not describe the trees, the sky..

...and the birds and all that stuff, in

movies they just talk.

They just talk.

And when I hear someones voice,

it tells me so much about people.

Like your voice. Your voice tells me that..

.. ahh, wait. You have short black hair...

.. and..

.. you have these big, beautiful, dark

eyes.

- Doctor Perkins could have tell you that.

- No, it's your voice. I'm telling you..

And your hair, I can tell it is short,

because I can hear it's rushling around.

Altough I did take a chance in your eyes,

but now I know it's true..

.. they are big and beautiful.

I'll figure a lawyer, you now has got to

read people's minds..

.. and when you're blind that's

mostly what you do.

- And are you reading my mind?

- Yes, sure. -And?

I can tell that you wanna be here...

.. but there's also something

holding you back..

.. and I don't know what this is.

I think you're gonna be a very good lawyer.

What I'd really like to do is...

.. go to medical school.

And then join Doctor Perkins' research team.

- Why don't you?

- It's not that simple.

- I am a woman.

- I noticed.

And one day I'd like to get married

have a family..

- Can't you do both?

- No.

Not without an understanding husband.

So you just gonna have to choose

the right one.

- That is one fine lady Mr. Waldesakee.

- Thank you, James.

I can smell when Mrs. Luciano makes

fettucini food 3 blocks away...

.. or they cut grass on the baseball field...

.. I love your perfume..

.. and your smile.

You smell that the blossoms

are out earlier this year!?

Now you show out.

- Is anybody else around?

- No, we are alone.

I had the best night I've ever had.

I just hope it's been half as good for you.

I've had a wonderful time.

Alright, thanks.

An oil leak now.

So will you tell me about it?

She is the most natural person on the whole world.

She's got the most beautiful smile.

How do you know, what her smile looks like?

You don't understand, It's the sound of it.

I love the sound of her smile.

So why did you not take her back

to my place last night?

Look it's not everything coming down to sex.

That's true, money and looks are

important too.

Hey Mike. Don't forget to clean

those footprints of my ceiling.

- Unbelievable.

- What's so unbelievable?

- Your face.

- It's hot.

- Hi!

- Hey.

They're gorgeous, thank you.

- Do you like Humphrey Bogart?

- I like Humphrey Bogart.

Let's go, kid.

- And what about us?

- Always have Paris.

We lost him, until you

came to Casablanca?

We got him back last night

I said I would never leave you.

You never will.

I gotta job to do too.

- Danny, I've gotto go.

- No, don't go.

Lisa, I never felt this way for any

other woman before.

- I'll see you soon, ok?

- Yeah.

- Bye.

- Bye!

Arvind will take over the business in

a few years, when I retire.

And with a loyal wife by his side,

he will be well able to provide for his family.

Arvinds I believe will provide for his future family are

no doubt because he's Indian.

And there should be no doubt of the

loyalty of his future wife either.

I want to tell you how proud we are

all of you Danny.

First for getting chosen for

this operation, and..

.. second, for having pale to go through it.

- What does "pale" mean?

- Balls! -Stop corrupting me common, please.

Thank you, pop. Thank you, Larry.

I would just like to say that..

...If this thing does workout...

.. and I can see your faces for the first time..

.. and I find out that you're all too ugly,

I'm moving out! -Heyyy

- Chinchin

- Salut -salut -salut!

Doctor Perkins says if it's succesfull..

.. I might be able to see enough to..

.. get around, even identify faces.

I might be able to see your face.

And know what you look like.

Only a man can cause joy one day

and tears the next.

What has Arvind done?

Mom it isn't not Arvind.

- Is he Hindu?

- He's not Indian.

A few years after I came to this

country, I met this man.

An american. He was very handsome

like a moviestar.

Everytime I saw him

my heart jumped.

- Mom, what happened?

- He met a beautiful American girl.

Nothing to be sad about,

just thankful.

I met your father just after that.

You are my only daughter, and

I love you very much.

But, you made a promise to Arvind.

And only you can decide, if

you can honor that promise or not.

I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier.

- What are you talking? What does

that suppose to mean?

- Danny, I've had a wonderful time with you..

and...

.. no one's ever made me feel this way..

.. but I'm engaged to be married.

Engaged to be married?

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I can't see you anymore.

Am I missing something here?!

I don't understand.

I'm sorry. I've should have told you earlier.

Do you love this guy?

Do you!?!

- He's a nice guy Danny.

- That doen'tanswer my question!

- Do you love him?

- It's not that simple!

There's a lot more to it than that!

Just be honest with me.

At the end of the day, you'd rather

be with someone who can see..

.. instead of some a**hole blind guy.

Danny, I know what it's like to get dumped.

I understand.

What you've got to do is look at it like

you're one of the ten guys. OK?

For every 10 "no"'s that you get

you gonna get 1 "yes", ok? So..

.. this "no" is really just bringing you

that much closer to a "yes".

Trust me on this Danny,

It's all mathematics.

Ready, set, pitch! Wow!

Elbony double for sure.

I smell money man..

- Hey, hey hey.
