Maid In Manhattan Page #9

Synopsis: Marisa Ventura is a single mother born and bred in the boroughs of New York City, who works as a maid in a first-class Manhattan hotel. By a twist of fate and mistaken identity, Marisa meets Christopher Marshall, a handsome heir to a political dynasty, who believes that she is a guest at the hotel. Fate steps in and throws the unlikely pair together for one night. When Marisa's true identity is revealed, the two find that they are worlds apart, even though the distance separating them is just a subway ride between Manhattan and the Bronx.

You weren't gonna tell me.

You knew he was coming.

Remember, bubba, what l told you?

We talked about this.

He's not part of our lives,

but we wish him luck with his, right?

You think he misses us?

Well, he'd be crazy not to.

Mr. Marshall, if elected,

you'll be the third Marshall...

...to serve New York in the Senate.

How does it feel?

If l get elected, l'll let you know.

Did your father

leave you any advice?

Yeah, he said, " Don't run."

We have time

for one more question, folks.

Then we have

a meet-and-greet in the Green Room.

I have a question.

-What? Who said that?

-Mr. Marshall, down here.

Sure.

What's your question?

I was wondering....

-Chris, don't do this.

-No. Wait. I'm listening. Go ahead.

Well....

I know everyone makes mistakes.

And it's a sign of character to give

a person a second chance, right?

Right. I'm with you.

Even if someone lied,

they should be forgiven.

Otherwise, we'd never have

any congressmen or presidents.

Thanks very much.

We have to wrap this up.

Jerry, he's not done. Go on.

Well, what if you're not a politician

trying to do good for everybody?

What if you're just a regular person,

like a maid or something?

And she made a mistake.

Do you think she should

get a second chance?

I mean, nobody's perfect, right?

No. Nobody's perfect.

Ladies and gentlemen of the press,

take a look at a future candidate.

All right, thanks very much, folks.

We'll see you all in Buffalo.

-Don't do this. Don't throw it all--

-I'm just trusting my instincts here.

-Great speech.

-Really?

-Eating out of your hands.

-Thanks.

Cool.

Where is she?

This way!

-Have you seen Marisa Ventura?

-No, l haven't seen her sir.

We haven't had this

kind of story in a while.

It will kill his career.

Will this hurt your

announcement for senator?

Mr. Marshall, are you still seeing her?

Was it love at first sight, Mr. Marshall?

-Marisa?

-Hey, Ma.

-Marisa?

-Hey, Ma.

Ty? What are you both

doing down here? What's--?

Hello.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Look....

Can we start over?

Second chance, second date?

You as you, me as me.

No secrets.

What do you think?

-We know you're in there!

-Open up! Only one way out.

Marisa Ventura.

Housekeeping.

Chris Marshall. Candidate for Senate.

I'd appreciate your vote.

We'll see.

We're in!

Mr. Marshall, over here!

Mr. Marshall.

Mira.

Esa es mi hija.

What's your relationship...

-...with the Latin community?

-Excellent. He speaks Latin-- Spanish.

Miss Ventura, will you

clean up the Senate?

What do you think, sir?

You two got a chance? Sir?
