Fools Rush In Page #2

Synopsis: Sparks fly and cultures collide in this romantic comedy about a casual night of passion that turns into the love of a lifetime. Alex Whitman is a New Yorker sent to Las Vegas to oversee a construction project. There he meets Isabel Fuentes, and some serious chemistry brings them together for one night. But Alex doesn't see Isabel again until three months later, when he learns she is pregnant. On a whim and prayer, he proposes.

- Bye.

- Bye-bye.

- You've been avoiding that?

- Since third grade.

Nobody ever plans to end up in Vegas.

They just do.

Kind of sneaks up on you. But it is

the fastest-growing city in the U.S.

The economy is booming.

Business is growing.

I'm up to my neck in paperwork.

But, frankly,

it's just not a whole lot of fun.

Are you a whole lot of fun?

Jeff said we might have problems...

with our liquor license

because of new zoning?

I'll talk to the County Supervisor

for you.

If I were you, I'd pay more attention

to the A. B.C. Investigation.

They're gonna ask you

personal questions.

They'd like nothing better than

to catch you with your pants down.

Then they should definitely

be looking into Jeff...

because he actually heads up...

our "pants down" department.

Jeff, hon,

would you get us some ice?

And put some Scotch in it.

One Scotch coming up.

I'm out of Scotch.

Why don't we go out to dinner?

Quid pro quo, pal.

You give it to her,

she gives it to us.

I'll take my time.

I can't do this!

I thought...

I must have the wrong house.

No, no. Wait.

If you're looking for Alex,

he's inside.

He is?

Excuse me. Alex?

- You have a visitor.

- I do?

Oh, yeah.

- Would you excuse me?

- Well, don't be long.

You remembered.

How could I forget?

I've been looking all over for you.

I would've called you,

but you disappeared on me.

I didn't know what to do.

I never did anything like that before,

going home with someone I don't know.

Hey, you and me, both.

It was just one of those great...

phenomenal...

spontaneous things.

Yes, it was.

- How long has it been?

- Three months.

Do you mind if I have some of these?

My stomach is not so good.

Go ahead, help yourself.

Want something to drink?

I've got water.

Water's fine.

You've done a lot with this place.

Yeah, I've been kind of busy.

Wow! You look great.

Thank you.

So, how you been?

Pregnant.

Really? Pregnant.

Well, that's great. Terrific.

Congratulations.

Thank you. It's yours.

Mine?

- We were only together one night.

- That's all it took.

And I used a condom.

Lots of 'em.

One didn't work.

But that's its job.

Its job is to work.

Its entire reason for being

is to work.

Look...

I thought about this a lot.

There's really only one thing

for me to do.

Oh, thank God!

I mean, I understand.

- And I respect your decision.

- You do?

Yes. I have always believed

in a woman's right to choose.

That's good! Because I choose

to keep this baby.

And I don't want your money.

I thought the honorable thing to do...

would be to come here

and tell you in person...

that I am pregnant...

that I'm keeping this baby...

and that it's yours.

Yeah, I'm glad you...
