Shirin in Love Page #3

Synopsis: Love has no borders and therein lies the premise of the charming, new Iranian-American romantic comedy "Shirin in Love." Nazanin Boniadi plays Shirin, an absent-minded, young Iranian-American living in "Tehrangeles" (the large Iranian community in Los Angeles) with her overbearing mother and empathetic father. Despite being engaged for years to a successful Iranian plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Shirin finds herself breaking loyalty and tradition when she falls in love with a mysterious young man who lives in a lighthouse in northern California. As her secret unravels and cultures clash, Shirin discovers what it ultimately means to be true to herself.

Helen:
Uh, oh.

Ha. I knew it.

Sweetheart, that's a red hair.

Do you see any other red-headed

Asians walking around here?

Uh, major health code violation.

I'm not eating this.

Helen, I need to talk to you

about something kind of important.

I just found out my

mother is really sick.

I'm sorry.

That's terrible.

They don't think she's gonna

make it to her next birthday.

I need more wine.

It's empty.

Can I have... are you

gonna eat... that?

- Go ahead.

- Yeah? Okay.

Thank you.

Broccoli, the long ones.

It's like a combination between

asparagus and broccoli.

These are so good.

( slurping )

- Thanks, babe.

- All right.

Please be careful

and don't drive fast.

Oh, dad.

She couldn't drive fast

even if she wanted to.

I can't believe you'd rather drive

seven hours in this piece of junk

instead of taking

a one hour flight.

You know I hate to fly, and please

don't call Zuzu a piece of junk.

You know I don't want to

put my first car to sleep.

The keys are in

the ignition honey.

Oh yeah.

( starts car )

And you got the GPS, too?

Uh, yep, and I have

this just as backup.

Where's your ring?

Oh, uh, I'm sure

it'll pop up somewhere.

Oh my God.

You lost it?

How could you lose...?

Oh my God.

Do you know how long that

ring's been in my family?

Since my great-great-great

grandmother five generations!

Dr. June... Dr. June... don't

let your blood pressure go up.

I didn't lose it.

I just can't find it.

She didn't lose it.

She lost it!

No. She can't find it.

That's different.

Mike:
What if she lost it?

What's the difference?

No, no, no, no.

She didn't lose it.

She just can't find it.

But it's the same thing!

She lost it!

No, no, no.

It's not the same thing.

She just can't find it.

( foreign language )

She lost it.

( music )

Ooh, there she goes again.

Start the car!

Start the car!

( starts car )

( tires screech )

( sirens )

Officer Washington:

You know what?

Let me handle this.

Good morning, Officer Henderson.

It's coffee, okay?

It's coffee and I

spilled it chasing you!

I stopped at the

stop sign, didn't I?

No, ma'am.

No, you didn't stop.

You didn't stop

at the stop sign.

I sent your manuscript to

an agent friend of mine.

You know what?

My new partner is

sitting back in the car there.

It's not gonna work this time.

Oh.

That's all right. No, oh.

I know the number.

O six.

Let me tell ya.

Are you leaving town?

Yes, sir.

Are you leaving for a long time?

- Yes, sir.

- Good!

Officer Henderson, have you

thought about changing that ending?

( officer sighs )

Well, I thought about, you know,

when he kills her...

I thought maybe I'd make

that a dream sequence.
