Shirin in Love

(film roll effect)

( music )

( police siren blaring )

Shirin:
Good morning, Marvin.

Officer:
Good morning, and it's

Officer Henderson, Miss.

License and registration,

please.

Okay.

I know it's here.

Um...

Uh, did you lose your license

and registration again, Shirin?

No, no, no.

It's in my purse.

It's got to be here somewhere.

Was I speeding again?

Oh, no. No, you weren't

speeding, not this time.

- But let me ask you a question.

- Uh-huh.

Does that big red sign mean

anything to you back there?

Now look, we don't want any

accidents out here, do we?

I forgot to stop again,

didn't I?

Uh-huh.

I'm sorry.

How's the writing going?

Well, I'm still gonna

write you this ticket.

I know.

It's just... well, the

writing's so...

Go on.

Different, you know?

Definitely has potential.

Potential?

I gave you the ninth draft.

I know that.

It's really, you know, raw.

You know, fresh is what I mean.

But, I thought we agreed that

Harry can't just kill his wife

because he's unhappy.

Well, maybe Harry... he

does need to do something.

You know what?

Maybe he kills her

then he tries to kill himself,

but through some way

he survives somehow.

Or maybe he just lets her go.

Yeah. Maybe he

just lets her go.

That'd be... maybe

he just lets her go.

Maybe he just lets her...

get the hell out of here.

( laughs )

( music )

- Hi Janet!

- Hi.

Hi.

...have until tonight.

Then, you'll be

hearing from my lawyers.

I've read all the books.

You've read them all

in one week?

Uh-huh.

And I wrote a review

on each of them,

although only one

was worth reading.

The rest were the usual fluff.

You say that like it's

a bad thing.

In The Storm is the

new Rachel Harson novel.

I'm sure it'll be a best

seller too, but I don't get it.

Have some kabob.

You've lost weight.

( speaking foreign language )

I have an offer for you.

We'll have the wedding here,

a big wedding, a

beautiful wedding.

In return, you will do a

big feature on Ms. Harson.

And we'll put it on the

cover of the online issue

as well as three pages

in the print publication.

Uh-huh.

You've been asking to

write feature stories.

Here's your chance.

Rachel Harson, The Real Story.

Darling, go and interview her.

Write classy stuff, and I

promise we won't change a word.

You know she doesn't

give interviews.

She hasn't met my daughter.

Right.

Shirin!

My dress!

Shirin!

( music )

Oh, shoot!

Oh.

Is that beer coming?

Shirin:
Coming!

Thank you.

Hey, Vicky, it's me.

Um, I have an emergency.

No, not another fire.

Um, do you have any beer?

( music )

Vicky:
Hello boys.

Hello.

Hi Vicky.

( speaking foreign language )

Who is this blondie?

Take it easy, man.

That's a patient.

She's a patient?

Yeah. I wouldn't mind

giving her a filling, huh?

I would love to adjust

her tailbone.

Chick, chick, chick, pow.

You're not even a doctor.

You're a chiropractor.

That's a glorified masseuse.

I make people walk

with beautiful forms.

What do you do?

Fill up their phenomenals?

Thank you so much.

Of course.

Oh, how romantic.

After all these years,

Mike still sends you flowers.

American men never do that.

Here.

Thanks, beautiful.

Ba ba!

Tastes so good!

Ooh!

( laughing )

Mike is so adorable.

He did such a

great job on these.

You should feel them.

- Oh, oh. No. I'm good.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Okay. Okay.

The tall one... the other

doctor... is he married?

No.

He's not married.

I'm Iranian. I got a chandelier

in my car hanging,

just chandelier just hanging.

Tone it down, man. You're

a little creepy right now.

I want to be married too!

I love her!

I could look at her...

one of her hair all day

and just wonder why did it wave

like this instead of like that?

What are you reading now?

Hmm?

Oh, it's a new

Rachel Harson novel.

Oh, she has a new one?

Yeah, In The Storm.

That's an advanced copy.

I love her.

It's her best yet.

Once I'm done reading it,

I'll let you borrow it,

and I'll bring you

some more beer.

Forget the beer.

Just bring the book

and the tall doctor.

( music )

( speaking foreign language )

Mom, please.

I don't want to.

- Come on.

- Not tonight, please.

( indiscreet chatter )

Can we get out of here, please?

Yes, honey.

We will shortly.

I just want you to meet Ali Ali.

We call him Ali Dobey.

I'm glad you found

something to look at.

- This is Shirin.

- Pleasure to meet you.

Great.

Pretty cute.

Uh well, I was a

human rights attorney,

and I... I gave it up to write.

She's a book reviewer

from the magazine.

This one?

Uh-huh.

A big fan

of Rachel Harson.

You do whatever

you want, honey,

as long as you quit

when we have children.

And you know I want

a lot of children.

Here's to Rachel Harson

and In The Storm.

I would say 50 is

the best for you.

Oh, come on...

( foreign language )

Mom:
Darling, I promised Roya

that we're gonna have

grandchildren before too long,

and you're not gonna

disappoint us, are you?

I'll do my best.

Don't keep on

touching your hair.

Dr. June.

- Shirin.

- What are you talking about?

Shirin, come on, come on.

That's okay.

Mom:
She's just a bit nervous

about the wedding.

Let's have the music louder.

Spring me.

That's interesting.

Mike:
You go wash your face.

I'll go get you a water, okay?

I'll be right back, okay?

( laughing )

Woman:
Don't you just love

this music?

( Thundering )
