Keeping the Faith Page #11

Synopsis: Jake and Brian are friends. They are Jewish and Catholic respectively. They would grow up and become a rabbi and priest. Anna, whom they knew when they were younger, comes back to town a stunning woman. Jake is up to be the head of his synagogue but he is not married which doesn't make his appointment any easier. Jake finds himself attracted to Anna but because she's not Jewish, he can't marry her as it would make his appointment less likely. Brian also finds himself attracted to Anna, but the priesthood doesn't allow that. Their friendship is strained when each learns of the other's feelings for her.

- Me, neither.

(JAKE GROANS)

(SINGING KARAOKE)

No jokes, no surprises

No crisis arises

My life goes along as it should

It's all very nice but not very good

And I'm ready to take a chance again

Ready to put my love

on the line with you

Living with nothing to show for it

You get what you get

when you go for it

And I'm ready to take a chance again

Ready to put my love

on the line with you

Than living with nothing to show for it

You get what you get

when you go for it

Hey!

- Everything okay here?

- All good things.

All good things.

...with you

I'm ready to take that chance again

Hi.

Rabbi Lewis. Anna, this is Rabbi Lewis.

- Good to see you again.

- And you, Rabbi.

- You missed our last class.

- I thought I was leaving town.

- Don't look at me like that.

- I'd love to start again.

- I'd be delighted.

- Anna...

If you'll excuse us, we're off dancing.

- Come on, let's get this started.

- Okay.

(MUSIC STOPS)

Attention, please.

We'd like to kick this off.

So great to see such a great turn-out.

- Thank you for coming.

- JAKE:
Congratulations.

It's wonderful to see so much

interfaith dancing happening.

Like the end of West Side Story

warms the heart.

- Let's give ourselves a hand.

- This is your place. Enjoy it.

Hit it.

(MUSIC RESUMES)

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Is three a crowd here?

- Not this three.

Hold it!

(SLOW SONG PLAYING)

Do you want to know

If everything glittering

will turn into the gold

I see in your hair?

I feel it could be there

Somehow tonight

And do you want to find

Something worth saving?

The change would do me right

'Cause I've been just waiting

and hesitating

With this heart

of mine

You're still a mystery

But there's something so easy

in how you're sweet to me

I feel completed

Like it's something I needed

For this heart

of mine

There's always something so tragic

About a hopeless romantic

So though we cannot know

If everything glittering

will turn into the gold

I'm through with waiting and hesitating

I want you taking

This heart

of mine

Heart of mine
