Serendipity Page #3

So she made|one tragic mistake.

And paid for eternity.

Correct.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.|- Legible, legible.

- I can't believe I'm doing this.|- Now, please, please.

Let fate take|its proper course.

Oh!

- That was an accident.|Write down that again, please.|- I can't.

That was a sign.

Fate's telling us|to back off.

If fate didn't want|us to be together, then why|did we meet tonight, huh?

- Gotcha.|- Well, I don't know.

- But it's not an exact science.|It's a feeling.|- Well, what if you're wrong?

Huh? What if it's all|in our hands and we just walk away?

No names, no phone numbers, nothing.|What do you think's gonna happen?

Do you think good old fate is|just gonna deliver my information...

- right to your doorstep?|- Do you know that's the best|idea you're had all night?

- What's the best--|- Here you go. Write|your name and number down.

- On a $5.00 bill?|- Mm. Just do it.

You are a strange|and interesting woman.

Now what?

Wait there.

Hey!

What the hell was that?

When that $5.00 bill|makes it back into my hands,|I'll be able to call you.

And when you hear|my voice on the other end,

then you'll believe|in fate, won't you?

- Hey, what about me?|- What do you mean?

Well, we have to send|something out in the universe|with your name on it, don't we?

- Come on. Isn't that|the only fair thing?|- That is the only fair thing.

What have I got, even?|Ooh. No. I have a really good idea.

- What?|- Okay.

- That's a lot of tuba.|- Okay, see this book?

Yeah.

Okay, so when|I get home tonight,

I'm gonna write my name|and number inside this book.

And then first thing|tomorrow morning, I'll sell it|to a used book store.

Which one?

You're not gonna tell me.|You're not gonna tell me. Why not?

Well, now, every time|you go past an old book store,

you're gonna have to go inside|to see if it's there.

This is just wrong.|You don't just have the most|incredible night of your life...

with a perfect stranger and then|leave it all to chance, do ya?

- Do ya?|- Come with me a second.

What, we're gonna get a room?

I'm kidding.|But I wanna know you more.

- Come on. Where are we going?|- Okay.

- Now, you stay here.|- Okay.

- No, stay here. Stay there.|Don't make me come over there.|- Okay.

All right, if we both|randomly pick the same floor,|we're meant to be together now.

You're insane.

Come on.|Okay, get in.

Take a breath, and then|when the door closes, hit a button.

- I don't understand this.|- You don't have to understand.|You just have to have faith.

Faith in what?

Destiny.

Hey!

It's Sara.|My name's Sara.

[ Elevator Dings ]

And here it is.|See? You were right.

- Uh--|- Let's go, buddy.
