Hit by Lightning Page #2

Synopsis: When Ricky Miller, a single, quiet 40-year old aspiring writer and manager of Debbie's (think Denny's) and probably the last person you'd notice in a crowd is 'hit by lightning' and meets the love of his life, the beautiful Danita on E-Happily.com, he is catapulted into a relationship online but it's a lot more than what he bargained for - this includes being asked to kill! Hounded by his best friend Seth who thinks no "10" would even go out with a guy like Ricky unless she had ulterior motives (or needed glasses), Ricky starts to get skeptical himself. Turns out, Danita confesses she's actually married to a handsome affable crime novelist and former Rabbi, Ben Jacobs. Is Danita telling Ricky the truth when she says wants to leave her husband but fears for her life if she does? Will Ricky go through with the plan to kill him so he and Danita can live happily ever after?

I'm hit by lightning or

killed by a terrorist.

Oh, hey, Kings won.

Three goals and two assists,

you're on fire.

NHL.com has pop-up ads for

"E-Happily"?

What the hell. They NEVER have

before...

You have no

responses.

Yeah..

Hey, man.

Hey, Jorge. I was just checking

the... the hockey scores, what's up?

Ahh, I'm gonna need next Saturday off too.

I'm getting married.

What?

Yeah, I know, my mother's been

on my case.

You're twenty-seven, you bum,

what are you waiting for?

Twenty-seven really isn't that

old.

So can I have Saturday off or

what?

No.

What?

Oh, uh, I'm sorry. I, I meant

"yes." Of course... of course...

Jorge...

Where, where did you meet her?

Who?

E-Happily, man. It's

surprisingly effective.

You have one

response.

You found your wife?

Yep. Last night.

You went cruising without me?

Uhm we've never cruised and I

didn't have to go anywhere.

Found her on my computer.

Oh... what porn site?

Wasn't a porn sit... "E-Happily!"

I...joined it last week.

What do you mean, you joined it?

Ah, I don't think I was being

cryptic.

I joined E-Happily last week. To

meet my soulmate.

And it worked.

Poor, sweet, crazy bastard you.

I've never been more sane.

This woman's perfect for me.

Perfect!

Oh, she loves all the same

things I do,

hockey, cats, Albert Brooks

movies,

spooning after sex...

Alright whatever, what does she

look like?

I don't know... and you should

see the e-mails she wrote to me.

Funny, smart, sweet...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold on, just back up, hold the phone.

What do you mean, you don't know

what she looks like?

She didn't post a picture for

some reason.

Oh, that's a real puzzler.

It's 'cause she's a dude,

she's a dude Ricky or looks like a dude.

No...

Listen hoggy dog. There's only that

woman wouldn't post a picture?

'Cause, god bless her, she's

obviously hideous.

Look, there's a million reasons

she wouldn't put up a picture.

No, no... there's one, one...

she looks like "Shrek."

What if she does? Did you learn

anything from that movie?

It's what's inside that counts.

Yeah in fairy tales, you idiot,

not real life!

Her name is Danita. What a

beautiful name.

I've never heard that name

before.

"Danita..."

You sure it isn't Dan

Ita? Like that's her last Ita,

like Dan Ita

Can't you be happy for me?

Alright common You haven't even

met this person!

I am, tomorrow. I'm meeting her

at the Black Cat for drinks.

Look don't do this okay please

Ricky, don't do this.

I have to, Seth.

Danita is my destiny.

Okay...

might want to bring a condom for

Dan just in case.

Shut up.

What the hell is that in your

head?

What are you doing here?!
