Finding Mr. Right Page #2

Synopsis: City girl Jiajia is traveling to Seattle to give birth to the son who's going to help her win over her rich, married boyfriend. Armed with his unlimited credit card and the singular goal of bringing a little U.S. citizen back to Beijing, Jiajia knows how to play this game of modern love. But when Jiajia arrives in Seattle, the city which inspired her favorite movie Sleepless in Seattle, nothing goes right: she's stuck sharing a small house with two other pregnant ladies, she has trouble reaching her boyfriend on the phone, and eventually, even the credit card stops working. To top that off, the only person willing to spend time with her is her driver Frank. Frank is the opposite of everything she ever wanted in a man... or could he be exactly the kind of guy she really needs?

You're sure my doctor is the best right?

This isn't an illegal clinic, right?

You want a female doctor who speaks Mandarin.

Two conditions are satisfied.

And she's the most expensive one.

It looks real...

but I'm sure there are fakes

in the US as well.

Fill this out.

She's a Chinese doctor. Why all the English?

I can't do this.

It's discrimination.

How many times have you been pregnant before?

This is my fourth time.

You really bought it?

It's my first time.

Any allergies to medication?

Yes, poison.

I don't think there is any.

Any operations?

I fell down a tree when I was a kid.

Had a few stitches on my head.

Does that count?

How many stitches?

Three, four, five... Whatever.

You know the English language well.

You even know how to write "stitches"? Wow.

OK. See you next week. Bye.

DB. Oh, Frank. Long time.

We didn't finish this.

Sorry. You don't have to do this.

Chris, show this lady in.

Sure.

Doctor Tang said you used to be a doctor,

but you don't look like one.

That's why I quit.

Why did she call you DB?

Isn't your name Frank?

Is it like a respectful term for older men,

like in Korean films?

In the US, it's all privacy.

Oh, crabs. Alaskan crabs.

So big. It's still moving.

280 bucks.

USD280?

Yeah.

Let me pay all.

No, thank you. I got that.

It's too early,

I don't want to go back to that boring house.

My treat!

Let's go to the best restaurant in Seattle!

I have to go pick up my daughter.

Daughter? Where's her mom?

In China.

And she leaves you here alone

with all the blond bimboes?

Bimboes are no match for a wife

who makes so much money. Right Frank?

8 dollars and 50 cents

OK.

8 dollars and 50 cents,

you sure your card won't be declined?

Frank, who's that guy?

That's her baby's father.

White GUY-

OK. Thank you. Bye bye.

Hi, Frank.

Hi.

He's cute.

What about the girl?

His girlfriend.

What?

I'm just like that leading character,

the type of good wife

They didn't officially marry

but have been approved by the Party.

That's as good as married.

See the other girl?

He has a wife, come on! Shameless girl.

Yue, be quiet.

OK.

No one here says pregnant women

can't eat crabs.

What crabs? They're eating dumplings.

Eat your apple.

Watching TV?

I have seen this one.

This 9UY---

He marries that little fox

in green in the end.

And the lady in white...

Do you have to give out the ending?

Yes.

Say, Joe,

So you are very fluent in English,

did you learn it in bed?

Are you out of your mind?

So you can do it but I can't talk about it?

What did I do?

I saw that cute white boy the other day.

He has a girlfriend,

and you still keep his baby.

It's none of your business.

Another word and I'll slap you in your face.

Such a dumb ass.

You think you're so special

because you speak English,

If I had a white boyfriend,

I'll speak 1000 times better than you.

Let me tell you something, little girl.

Don't think you can get your way...

just because you have some bloody money.

I never believed for a second

that it's honest money earned by yourself.

It's either from your daddy or sugar daddy.

You're just jealous that my man

is happy to pay for everything.

Your man?

From the way you spend the money,

who knows whose man it really is

How dare you!

B*tches see everyone as b*tch.

So you think you can hit me, huh?

Stop it.

It's not worth it, not worth it Watch out

Calm down, calm down!

What are you doing?

You're too pregnant for all this!

She hit me!

You deserve it!

Shut up, both of you!

Think of your babies!

Can't believe you're going to be mothers.

Why are you still standing there?

Not my fault.

Damn

Damn

Damn, damn, damn

Dance with me.

I don't know how to dance.

Come on.

I really can't.

That'll teach you about not calling me.

Don't think I won't get any men just

because I'm pregnant.

Don't drink so much.

Sorry.

Check out the mini-skirt behind you.

It's OK. She doesn't understand.

Check it out.Come on, are you for real?

So your wife is away? How do you manage?

Manage what?

You know what I mean.

What do you do about your needs?

Do you know that this kind of place

is not good for the baby?

If you think your baby is precious,

stop drinking.

All gone.

You don't think I'm a good mother?

Let me tell you

As a mother,

I am 100 times better than those women!

Do you know

at home how many girls in my age

get rid of their babies

instead of keeping them?

Do you have any idea?

It's not easy for many people.

You think it's easy for me?

I don't have a job,

He won't get divorced.

There's no way for me to

get a legal permission

to give birth at home.

No permission then

I can't go to the hospital for checkups.

Even the baby born,

I can't even register him legally.

You think I want to have the baby in America?

You think I came here just to have the baby?

Who would cross

the entire ocean to give birth

if everything is fine?

His father can leave us both,

but I can never leave my son.

I will never give up on him.

Good.

Sit

Sit down

Leave me alone.

Your phone.

Hello.

Did you see the picture of the cute guy

I sent you? See it? Feel jealous?

First call in two days

and he talked about money.

He wouldn't have called

if I hadn't spent so much.

But you did call in the end.

Hello.

Where are you?

In bed.

Who is he?

Who? What he?

That guy in your bed.

The only man on bed with me is your son.

Son?

Yeah. Ultrasound says it's a boy.

Great!

But who were you with last night?

Last night?

Oh, that was a nurse.

You think I'm stupid?

What nurse works at midnight,

and looks like a wanted criminal?

Believe it or not.

How do you know what he looks like?

Oh, you read my Weibo.

So are you calling about

your money or your gm?

Spend all you want, but not on other men.

Get some rest. I'll try to visit you soon.

Really? When?

Christmas. Very soon. Wait for me.

It's a deal!

The double ring structure

is a symbol of long-lasting freedom.

Frank

what do you think?

For you or him?

I'll wear this one,

Will he look good in this?

Matched shirts.

You think?

Frank, which color is better?

Stand up and try them on.

Which color is better?

Frank, will you wear that?

Frank, will you wear that?

This is for me.

Oh.

Come to the mirror.

She is so difficult to be with.

Did you two have a fight?

Which one?

Both are nice.

Both of them?

You men seem OK with everything,

but you're in fact so picky.

It's the thought that counts.

He'll like either one.

Really?

Really.

Alright.

Go pick out something for yourself.

I haven't thanked you

for paying the bills at the club.

No need.

My man is coming over

for Christmas.

How about driving us around?

Triple the usual price.

Not during Christmas.

Julie's mother will be here.

Then let's hang out together.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Mrs. Huang, let me get it! I'll get it!

Hi. Hi.

Merry Christmas.

I missed you so much.

Look who's here.

This is my Mom, Mary.

It's not like I'm a racist.
