Finding Mr. Right Page #3

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?

Obama and Jordan are both black.

I wouldn't mind if you get a guy like that,

but just a car dealer,

and taking care of his kids.

Look at how

skinny you've become.

Mom, we agreed not to discuss this.

Alright. Drop it.

Let's dance.

Miss Wen, come have some cake.

No, thanks.

Maybe the flight was delayed.

Zhong could be here any minute.

OK.

Coming.

Who is Wen Jiajia?

Honey, sorry I can't make it.

Can't leave my family during the holiday.

I'll make it up to you. Zhong

Coming.

It's really you.

What are you doing here?

Merry Christmas.

I saw your car outside, so here I am.

Is something wrong?

No.

Can I come in?

Have you been drinking?

A bit.

You had a fight with Mrs. Huang, didn't you?

No.

Wow.

Your house looks amazing.

Can't believe it's the house of a driver.

How many storeys?

Two.

It's huge.

Such a big kitchen.

Now that is a real kitchen.

Tasteful. You even have a basement.

How big is the whole place?

And how much did you pay for it?

Half a million.

Half a million.

Less than 4 million yuan.

Yeah.

That means two bathrooms in downtown Beijing.

I need to get one of these.

Are you sure you didn't have a fight

with Mrs. Huang?

Yes.

So you just happened to walk all the way here?

Yes.

Your wife and daughter?

Yeah.

Cute. Where are they?

Julie's mother took her to a party.

So you're left alone?

Isn't your baby's father

supposed to be here today?

He stood me up.

I'll get you some water.

No. Come sit here.

Since we're both alone,

let's celebrate Christmas together.

At my house?

Where else?

I'll cook.Cook something good.

Let me show you what I'm capable of.

Dumplings, donut

ls there any meat?

Way to go, Dad!

I want dumplings!

My daughter wrote that.

Lovely. You get along so well with her.

You're not wearing any shoes.

Are you aware of what day it is?

It's the day Jesus Christ was born.

Is that how you plan to greet him?

Show some respect.

You need to wear something

nice for special occasions.

Didn't your mom teach you that?

So move.

Let me do that.

I'm good.

You look very good.

Let me do that.

The kitchen is mine today.

Help me put that on.

Tie it up.

Pull my hair out.

I didn't know you were such a good cook.

I thought girls your age

can only "cook" bowl ramen.

I used to be an editor

for a gourmet food magazine.

Really?

Yeah. You think I'm a professional mistress?

Your wife is very pretty.

She's very proud.

Women like that are all proud.

Have some tea.

How did you meet?

We were in college together.

And?

After we graduated,

we worked in the same hospital...

until she quit.

She's now regional manager

of Phaeton Pharmaceuticals.

Phaeton? That's a big company.

Yeah.

No wonder you have such a house.

She does make more than me.

I don't even know your Chinese name.

Hao Zhi.

Hao Zhi? Don't tell me that

you are the Hao Zhi at Fuwai Hospital?

Were you a patient there?

Sort of. So it's you!

When my dad had to have a heart operation,

I stood in line for three days just

for your appointment. But didn't get it.

It couldn't have been that hard.

Your appointment cost RMB3,000

in the black market.

I wish I knew you then.

Why did you leave the hospital

to be a driver here?

My daughter couldn't fit

into schools in China.

My wife wanted to immigrant here anyways,

and one of us

needed to be with our girl here...

She was the bread-earner, so I quit.

Do you regret it?

Sometimes I wake up at night

thinking there's an operation next morning,

but instead there's someone

to be picked up at the airport.

You're such a nice guy.

Your wife must love you so much.

She thinks I'm boring, not romantic,

and not good at making money.

Sometimes money

could be the worst thing in the world.

Money can mean nice dinners and yachts,

but it can also mean a simple breakfast

like soy milk and fried bread stick.

Depends on how you look at it.

Dinners, yachts, breakfasts...

I have none of that.

But I have bags.

Lots of bags.

A bag for Christmas, a bag for New Year,

a bag for Women's Day

and even a bag for Children's Day.

All those bags.

Always bags.

This is for you. Merry Christmas.

It's important for you

to keep your spirits up.

It's good for the baby.

You can do this.

Hello.

How could you not take her medicine with you?

What happened?

It's my daughter. Asthma attack.

Wait. I'll go with you.

Julie, look at me.

I'm sorry.

I don't know if it was the food

or something she touched.

Inhale.

Is there a dog?

Is there?

There are stuffed toys.

Maybe they're made of dog hair.

I can handle this.

Are you feeling better?

I think I'll be alright soon.

Frank,

I have to get back inside.

The partners are still here.

I'll be very late.

I'll take Julie home.

How is she?

Open the door.

Are you better?

I think so.

You can stop it now.

You didn't even inhale.

You old fox.

You little fox.

I don't like her perfume

and I don't like her friends.

Alright.

Why are you wearing it inside out?

Fashion.

That's auntie. She's staying with Mrs. Huang.

Call me sister.

You said you wouldn't bring work home.

Are you guys on a date?

No. Frank, I have to go.

OK.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Daddy, look!

In the sky.

Come on. Get out.

Come on.

Look!

SQ pretty.

Look at that one.

I booked the penthouse, Presidential Suite.

Perfect for watching fireworks.

There are chocolates and ice cream.

We shouldn't impose, really.

I was just asking.

Daddy,please.

Go ahead.

Wow. It's so pretty. So pretty!

Silent night, holy night!

All is calm, all is bright.

Wish my julie have wonderful life

OK. We're done.

Merry Christmas, Daddy.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Mrs. Huang? Yue? ls that you?

It's me, Jiajia.

Jiajia,

can you do me a favor?

Are you talking to me?

I didn't know we were friends.

You peed.

I will never sit on that couch again.

My water broke.

Please dial 911 for me.

Your water broke?

The baby's coming out. Jiajia,

please dial 911.

Hurry.

Sorry.

Hello. Um... Woman.

Baby

Hang on.

You talk to him.

Hello.

Baby.

There's a baby coming out.

Very urgent. hurry hurry

Damn the language.

Jiajia, don't go.

I don't know how to deliver your baby.

After the tone please record your message

when you've finished recording

you may hang UP

or press 1 for more options

Stop.

This country sucks.

All this space

and no one on the streets.

I had to run three blocks.

What's wrong?

Sh*t.

What is it?

Come sit down.

It's alright.

Everything's fine.

I'll go find a doctor.

He's moving.

The baby is moving?

I don't know. It never happened before.

Give me your hand.

Can you feel it? Such a long time

means torso movement.

Yes. He's turning over.

Come on. Talk to him.

What do I say?

Anything-

Hey buddy. How you doin'?

Buddy, this is your Mom. Remember her voice.

I'm your Mom,

but that wasn't your dad.

Daddy's not here.

He stopped.

He's resting now.

Remember to talk to him

whenever he moves. He can hear you.
