Finding Mr. Right Page #4

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?

Can he?

Where are your shoes?

Lost them in the running.

Here.

If I keep pushing

my belly's gonna explode.

Push. Push.

Shut up!

Who's gonna cut the umbilical cord?

That's usually a father's job.

No no no.

You have to do it. I can't do it.

You can do it.

Really?

I finally learned Joe's story.

The cute white guy is a sperm donor.

Rumor has it that he went to Harvard.

As for Joe and her girl,

they have our blessings.

Joe, I have your drink ready.

Coming.

So cute. I want a picture with him.

Good boy.

Mrs. Huang,

I want to move back to the small room.

Something wrong?

It's so sunny here.

I don't want to get tanned.

Let the baby have the big room.

Drink while it's hot.

Thank you.

This is a special drink from Taiwan.

Very good for you.

Will help you lose that baby fat.

Really?

Thank you.

Oh, you're awake.

So cute.

My baby.

Adorable.

Pity he doesn't look like me at all.

His teeth are the same as yours.

Which one?

This is for you. I think you could use it.

Thank you.

That word you threw at me, is it included?

Shh. Not in front of the baby.

Look. That's his hand.

He's holding a fist.

Looks like he's smiling. See?

He's growing well. He will be a smart boy.

Mary.

Hey, Julie.

Julie, be a lady.

See you.

Frank

How's it going?

Sorry for all this.

No trouble at all.

Nervous?

No. I'm doing my best.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Bye.

Where did your dad go?

To New York.

What?

And he didn't

take you along?

He's there for the Board Exam.

What's a "Board"?

It's a license for doctors.

So what are you guys gonna

do on the weekend?

I'm having a play at my house.

You both can come if you like.

OK. I'll be there.

OK. Bye.

Bye.

Hi, Julie.

Why are you here?

Neither your mom or Mrs. Huang is available,

so here I am.

Nice school.

It's OK.

You like him?

What?

He has an IQ of 170.

Who would like a freak like that?

Don't pretend like you know me.

I see.

I can make him your boyfriend, you know.

Impossible. He doesn't even know what love is.

What?

I can write a book on that,

So, what do I do?

First we go downtown and have fun.

My dad said not to go out

with strangers when he's away.

Am I still a stranger?

Cool.

So that is love?

It's just an illusion of love.

This is just some story made up

by screenwriters

with the evil intention

of beguiling you little girls.

Although I don't believe

in that romantic love crap,

just imagine

if you can really meet your Mr. Right

on top of the Empire State Building...

Wow.

That would be wonderful.

So I think it's kind of cool

to spend Valentine's Day

on top of the Empire State Building.

What do you mean?

Do you want to visit your dad in New York?

Yes, of course!

But...

I'll pay for everything

and you just have to get up there with me.

And the Metropolitan Museum.

Alright. The Metropolitan Museum.

Why not?

Deal.

Deal.

I want to see the mummies at the Met first.

What's so interesting about mummies?

I paid for this trip.

You do what I say.

The Met closes early.

Your building is open at night.

You can't see anything at night.

You lied! We had a deal yesterday!

According to Confucius,

only women and petty men are difficult.

I'm a woman. I can go back on my word.

I'm a petty man.

No, you're a child.

Taxi.

Empire State Building.

The Metropolitan Museum, please.

Don't think I don't understand that.

Empire State Building. I'm the boss.

You're so unreasonable.

Am I?

Go.

This line is unbelievable.

Come here. Hurry.

Julie, hurry up.

Here's the end of the line.

So many people.

Help! Julie, what's going on?

Of course I'm not her mother.

I'm her friend, right?

I brought her here to have some fun,

and to visit her dad.

He's taking that... what's it called

Yes. The "Bird".

Please sit down.

You know?

Now translate for this idiot.

She says you're stupid, you're an idiot.

She says she's not my guardian

and she knows that

it's illegal for her to take a minor

away from home without the guardian's consent,

but she doesn't care

about the laws in this country.

She says in the movie Sleepless in Seattle,

she's seen the Empire State Building.

Yes. That's right.

What does that mean?

I have no idea.

Perhaps it's just a landmark,

like World Trade Center.

He looks so stupid.

We didn't do anything,

right?

Yeah.

Officer, I got a phone call, asking me

to come here to pick up my daughter.

Are you sure you know them?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

I'm the kid's father.

This was a complete misunderstanding.

This must be one of those mirrors in movies.

I bet it's glass on the other side.

Turn off the lights so we can see. Come on.

Frank. Daddy.

I'll deal with you later.

How can you bring her to New York?

I want her to have some fun.

It's getting complicated.

They're checking your visa.

You came as a traveler.

You're not supposed to give birth here.

What do I do?

Are they going to deport me?

Can you call your lawyer?

I don't have one.

Don't they all have lawyers

in American movies?

Calm down.Calm down.

I told them you're my girlfriend.

They have records of my return

to China 6 months ago.

Do you know what to say?

Mr. Frank Hao?

I need you and your daughter to go with him.

I have to talk to her for a moment.

Where are you going? I don't speak English.

I met her in Beijing

when she took her father to doctors.

He was a doctor at Fuwai Hospital,

a very well-known cardiologist.

She is an editor for a gourmet food magazine,

and knows many strange places for great food.

We both love great food.

I understood this was not quite acceptable,

but we still fell in love anyway,

and she even got pregnant.

You know, for a woman, there's nothing better

than having a child with someone you love.

She used to love alcohol and wear high heels,

and she would never go out without makeup.

After her pregnancy,

she has completely changed.

He's the greatest guy in the world.

Maybe he can't afford

expensive dinners or yachts,

but every morning he'd walk for blocks

just to get my favorite breakfast,

soy milk and fried twist bread

It says here that you're married.

I divorced a year ago.

I didn't tell my daughter.

I know this is difficult for my daughter.

That's why she behaves in such a manner,

and stirs up all sorts of trouble.

I know he has a daughter,

but that doesn't prevent me

and my baby from loving them.

I never thought I'd come across

another chance at love like this.

I want to spend more time with them here

so we can get along better.

I watched a lot of American films.

In my mind, the perfect family consists of

a couple with two extremely cute kids,

and a dog.

But Julie is allergic to dogs

so we can't have one.

That's not an issue.

Obama's daughter is allergic to dogs too,

But they have a Portuguese water dog,

and everything's fine.

Don't worry.

Just be patient with the kid.

You'll get along.

Thank you.

Wen Jiajia, what right do you have

to take my daughter to New York

without even telling me?
