Blind Dating Page #6

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

you understand?

- How do I know he's blind?

- Because you...

.. low boy, all the

world knows he's blind.

- And what are you, an eye

specialist or something?

- What are you talking about boy?

Give me that!

Hej, J! You smell that?

- Smells like ass man!

- What!?

Hey! Big man!

- Like into blind kid?

Endow him, Larry.

Let it go! Let go!

Why haven't you going to the Doctor?

Danny, just tell me what

the problem is..

.. I promise you, It's not as bad

as you think.

I don't understand you anymore man.

This operation is something for you,

You understand that?

It's gonna make you life better.

Why would you wanna ruin that?

I'm gonna be right by the car,

making calls.

If you need me right?

- Danny, hi.

- Hi.

- I'ill tell Doctor Perkins you're here.

- Yeah, do that, just...

.. tell him I'm here.

Because I'm here.

Danny, I need to know that you still

feel positive about this operation.

I tell you what..

Why don't you see Doctor Evans

one more time...

She give's us her assessment,

we take it from there?

Danny, wait.

Look, can we go to the park

and talk?

- I never really explain

myself too well.

What's to explain?

You're getting married!

Danny, please.

Danny..

Danny, please.

Danny, there is something else

I should have told you before.

- Oh Jesus, You're carrying his child?

- No!

I haven't even slept with him.

I haven't slept with anyone, ever!

Join the club!

Danny, I'm Indian.

It's hard to explain..

...what that means, to someone,

who isn't Indian.

It's a different world.

It's a different culture.

- This guy is Indian too, right?

- Yes, he is.

When I asked you if you'd love him

you couldn't answer me.

My family's concept of love

isn't what you think it is.

- It's gotta do with duty..

...and loyalty and responsibility..

- To who?

Danny. I can't go against my family.

I can't break a promise I'd made.

I'm sorry.

And It's got nothing to do

with you beeing blind.

Who knows..

.. when you can see..

.. you might not like me anyway.

I'm not an american beauty.

I've gotta go.

- Did I do something wrong?

- No Danny

Falling in love with someone, who

is really engaged is not a crime.

But it's a crime for her falling

in love with me?

Is that what it is?

No, falling in love is completely

natural.

I mean, we even don't have

control over it.

- Then maybe it's like men slaughter?

- I don't understand?

- When you do something,

and you don't really mean it.

No.

No falling in love is..

.. is the most beautiful thing in the

whole world!

Yes.

Yeah I guess so.

- Are you naked today Doc?

- No.

No, but I'd like to be.

- Doctor Sato, we can do this.

- I think it's impossible,

He's missed too many tests,

he's obviously not comitted.

We have enough time to finish

those tests before the operation,

I promise you this boy is comitted.

Most of us live our lifes..

.. viewing it from the outside-in.

Danny experiences his world

from the inside-out.

And that's his strenght.

He is more than capable of dealing

traumatic change.

And with coping with the

outcome of operation,

whatever that may be.

- I'm here, if you need me.

- Thank you.

What?

Is my baby gonna be alright?

He's going to be just fine.

'Cause if anything should happen to him

there's gonna be a lot of shouting.

Down here and in heaven.

You are a good mother.

And you gotta good boy.

Nothing's gonna happen to.

No one's gonna have to shout.

Yes..

I'll be there like 9:30.

Ready.

- The lead?

- Ready.

Activities normal

All readings stable

Automatic pressure up

Mr. Waldesakee. Excuse me..

Danny came through surgery

beautifully.

He's doing very very well.

- So when can we see him?

- When he wake's up.

And we start our tests..

.. as soon as he's strong enough.

- How are you?

- Let's do this. -Alright.

You're going to feel a little pressure.

- You all right?

- Fine.

I'm putting on the glasses.

And when the time is right..

.. take all the time you need..

I'm going to turn on the power,

to the camera.

You let me know.

- I'm ready.

- Good man.

We're gonna do this on

the count of 3. Alright?

One.

Two.

And three.

Right, tell me what's happening.

- What's happening?

- What is it Danny?

Hurts a little bit.

There is some...

There's... There's something here there.

- Things...

- Things?

Probably fuzz leads..

This is an indication that the visiual

cortex is beeing simulated.

It's not all black anymore, it's...

Is there...

Something here like a...

.. square,

Square? Danny, that's a window!

- Something moved! something moved.

- That's me!

That's me, you saw me in front

of the window!

It's a good start.

It is like a older person...

- Let's get you out.

- Well done.

- You OK?

- Yes, yes.

- Hi baby.

- Mom.

Guess who.

What's up ugly?

- Where is Jay?

- I'm here, man.

You rock, man.

I am proud of you, man.

I am so proud of you, Danny.

Guess it works.

But soon, and for the rest of your life.

- No.

You really like her? Don't you?

You're in love with her!

Yeah.

- Guess though.

- Have you told her?

No, I haven't got a chance.

This is the date chosen by the

astrologer..

as the most auspicous day

for the wedding.

- To avoid any calamity.

- Are you agreed with that?

Sure. The 28th is a as good

a date as any.

It's a new procedure

Everyone had to learn this..

But remember, you and I wouldn't be

standing here talking

right now, If it wasn't for

a brave man like Danny

Who take on the risks

of experimental surgerie

and paid the way for

all those who follow

- Is there a camera here?

- Yea.

Close in thight, I smell an Emmy.

Hi Danny, thanks for taking an

interview today.

How you doing?

Danny, why don't you..

.. take a walk down the street..

.. and throw a ball or something?

- Yeah, ehmm

- I've that tried out for...

- Ohh no no no.

Ok stop, you're not gonna do any action

until not without a contract.

- Ok people?

- I'm sorry, who are you?

I'm Lorenzo Waldesakee. I'm his

brother and his manager and..

...and I run "Lorenzo's Limos" and...

.. if any of you people wants

the ride of a lifetime..

...just call Lorenzo...

Call an ambulance!

We gave it our best shot..

...but it's obviously effecting

his brain and...

...we can't take any chances.

So the prosthesis must come out

first thing tomorrow

Now, there is a chance..

.. that the prosthesis might have moved.

- So Danny must lie very still.

- And he must not use these

glasses anymore.

Hi Danny, thanks for taking our interview.

Lisa, the Bacha gonna be

here any minute.

Lisa?! Lisa!

call an ambulance!

Danny how you doing?

Not good.

- Got another headache?
