Shirin in Love Page #7

Which part?

Picking up sleazy bimbos

or driving through

storefront windows?

( television playing )

Bev, I'll call you back.

You are a monster!

- Sweetheart.

- Don't call me that!

I'm resigning, and I demand

you publish a letter of apology!

I was just about to

say congratulations.

You're not even giving

me a chance!

How could you do this

to your own daughter?

Calm down, darling.

I thought you'd be thrilled.

Thrilled?

Please.

Let's not be too

theatrical here.

After all, this is BH Style.

We do our best

to get the truth.

We're not just about

fashion and gossip.

No, no.

We're about selling magazines.

Whatever.

The fact is, I made

him confess his sins,

and I was kind enough

to give you the credit.

You spent days at their home

and came back empty-handed.

He told me everything

in 20 minutes.

What are you talking about?

He came by, asked to have

lunch and told me everything.

I don't believe you.

He wanted this to be a secret.

I never meant to deceive anyone.

After I published my first novel in

New York which was a huge disaster,

I went home and I wrote

Before The Morning.

My mother, Rachel,

she loved it,

and she wanted me to

send it to publishers,

but I only agreed to do it

if she put her name on it.

So, we did.

So, my mom's book

became a huge hit.

I couldn't go back,

and then I became Rachel

Harson, the author.

I told you he was crazy,

mentally unstable,

self-destructive.

Lots of writers are.

So sad.

Uh, hello, William?

I don't know what's going on?

I've called you five times.

Please call me back.

There's so much I want to say.

I... I read the article.

I... I'm so sorry if I

hurt you in any way.

I... I don't know why you're

not responding to my calls.

Can you please call me?

I miss you.

( knocking on door )

Who is it?

( knocking on door )

- Hi.

- Hi.

Can I come in

just one minute?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Thanks.

What happened to you?

I thought it would

be more your style.

I thought you'd like it.

You know, hippy.

It's interesting.

Shirin, ever since I

met you, I fell in love.

I can't look at

any other woman.

Please, take me back.

I'll do whatever it takes.

No more boob jobs.

Just nose jobs.

I...

Shirin, let's get married.

Mike, I... I can't.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on.

Let me show you this.

Look at this.

- Mike, what are you doing?

- You're gonna like it.

- Mike?

- No, you're gonna like it.

You're gonna like it.

Hold on. Huh?

( laughing )

Come on!

Smiley face.

You can't say no to that.

You're crazy.

Put your pants back on.

It was Ben's idea, but I

mean, it worked, right?

It is working.

Oh. I missed you.

( Foreign language )

Congratulations.

Excuse me, officer, uh...

any problem?

Oh, no sir.

No sir.

I'm a friend of Shirin, and I

just, I couldn't get off today,

and I just wanted to

stop by and say hello.

Oh, of course.

You're welcome.

Shrin told me about you.

The promising writer, right?

Oh. I'm working on it, sir.

I'm still working on it.

Please, please go

have some champagne.

Thank you, but I'm still on

duty, and I really shouldn't.

Come on.

It's only champagne.

Besides, how often does my

daughter get married, huh?

( laughing )

( speaking Farsi )

I am speaking Farsi.

( speaking Farsi )

Whoa, you speak Farsi, too.

( laughing )

( music )

You look great.

Will:
Please, just sell

the house at any price.

I really feel sorry

about what happened.

Thank you.

I know people

are angry with you,

but it doesn't really

make any difference,

and your novels have brought

me so much happiness.

It means a lot.

I hope you write more.

I mean, I don't know if you know

how much they mean to people

who still haven't found

that special someone.

It's okay.

I can't help it,

but I have to quote

a poem from the very

famous Persian poet, Hafez.

Who said...

( foreign language)

Don't worry. He always

gives big speeches,

plus I'm still expecting

more important people.

( foreign language )

Aren't you proud of me?

Sure.

Any particular reason?

Silly girl almost left the

doctor for that crazy writer.

I saved her.

Maryam, what have you done?

What do you mean?

You heard me. What did

you do to save the marriage?

Nothing.

He came to see Shirin.

I took him to lunch

and made him talk.

Trust me, it wasn't easy.

What did you do?

Hi, how are you?

You didn't really think Shirin

could write that story, did you?

All's well that ends well.

Right darling?

Let me translate this

poem for American friends.

That means I have never heard

a better and more beautiful

sound than the sound of love.

Excuse me, sir.

Is everything all right?

As a matter of fact,

sir, it isn't.

We need to talk.

Okay.

There's not gonna be

another one.

Man on phone:
What are

you gonna do now?

I think I'm gonna disappear.

Mike, do you take

this woman

as your lawfully

wedded wife?

I do.

Shirin, Shirin,

do you take this man

as your lawfully

wedded husband for life?

Shirin, would you commit

yourself to this man, Mike,

and remain faithful to him

for the rest of your life?

Shirin, would you commit

yourself to this man

and stay faithful to him

for the rest of your life?

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me, please.

Stand back.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, please!

Excuse me!

- Excuse me!

- What's the hell is going on?

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me!

Uh, you, you're under arrest.

- What are you talking about?

- She's under arrest!

- For what?

- You can't do this!

I can do this!

I'm a police officer!

You can't come here and do that!

She has 300 outstanding tickets,

and she's under arrest! Ma'am.

You can't do that now.

This is a wedding!

No, no, no! Sir!

Stop it! Ma'am, you're

under arrest. Come with me.

Mike, do something!

Ma'am, come with me, please!

That's not right!

Uh, I have a lawyer!

Jose, I got a lawyer.

Jose!

Step back!

Would you please step back!

Step back, please!

Please step back!

Mike:
Call the police!

Call the police! Dial 911.

Where are you going?

You can't her!

This is a party!

Call the police!

( indiscreet chatter )

Stop it!

Would you mind telling me

what the hell is going on?

Well, first of all, I'm probably

gonna lose my job over this,

but a writer has to be fearless,

you know what I mean?

That's what you said, isn't it?

I'm pretty sure I was

talking about writing, Marvin.

Well, your dad told me

exactly what's happened.

Do you know William

came to visit you,

but your mother persuaded him to

go to lunch with her instead?

She told William

that you betrayed him.

- This is discrimination!

- Discrimination!

It's discrimination!

Now, it seems like he loves you.

Do you love him?

It's up to you, Shirin.

Uh...

Mom:
I'm warning you!

My lawyers will destroy you!

For once in your life,

mother, shut up!

( crowd oh's )

Well...

Nader, do something!

What are we waiting for?

Let's do it!

( music )

I didn't write that article.

I had to tell you myself.

My mom tricked us both.
