The Accidental Husband Page #2

Synopsis: Emma Lloyd has made a career out of her sensible, mature and responsible approach to relationships. She has a hit radio talk show, an impending book deal, and a loving relationship with her fiancé, Richard, a conventional sort-which is precisely what Emma is drawn to. Then Emma finds out that she is already married to a man she's never met before, a result of a misguided prank that leaves her bewildered and very confused. Worse than that, her plans for the future are now threatened. With her wedding just around the corner, Emma must find the mystery man and obtain an annulment. Emma tracks down her "accidental husband" - Patrick, a charming and handsome neighborhood fireman, with a big secret...that he was behind the "accidental" marriage. Unable to fess up, Patrick goes along with the ruse pretending to be just as baffled as Emma. While at first their opposite approaches to life create much tension and chaos, Emma soon starts to admire his carefree passion for life and doubt her own c

- Ah.

- OK.

OK. Let's see.

'Dr Lloyd's analysis of love's...

dos and don'ts is

both insightful...

- and trenchant.'

Trenchant. What

does that mean?

Is that some kind

of fancy word...

for 'full of sh*t?' Trenchant?

- Direct and incisive.

- Gimme a break, smart-ass...

What? I saw it on Jeopardy.

Why didn't they just say,

'Read the book,

ruin your life?'

Read the sports

page to us, huh?

'Physical gifts can offer...

such insightful

observations...

into the human heart

is a thing of wonder.'

- Whoa. Trouble, one o'clock.

'She is chicken soup

for the heart.'

Oh, my ass.

- Hey. Hey, Sofia. Sof.

- Uh-oh. Here we go.

I'm reading about that

lady that helped...

you plunge a knife

through my heart.

- Very trenchant stuff.

- I can't talk right now,

- because I gotta

be someplace.

We'll give you a ride.

Hey, fellas. Stop the truck.

Sof, come on.

You haven't returned

any of my calls.

- Well, I've been busy.

- Sofia, give the guy a break.

Talk to him, Sof.

Oh, don't do that, Sof.

Come out here. Sofia.

Please come out here

so that we can talk.

No, no, no, not you, sir.

You can put your hands down.

- Firemen. We don't

arrest people.

We'll hose you down.

Sof. I'm not gonna go anywhere

until you come out here.

I don't understand. You know,

one minute we're

gettin' married,

talkin' about

names for our kids,

and the next, because

some fruitcake...

- She's a doctor.

- Of what, Sof?

Of what? Talk to me, here.

Patrick, it's over.

I'm sorry.

OK? It's over.

I gotta go.

All right, show's

over, folks. Let's...

keep it movin'. What

are ya lookin' at?

I met someone I like, but all...

my friends tell me

he's wrong for me.

- What do your friends say?

- We have nothing in common.

It's just the sex.

I'm just running away

from many more...

appropriate men who pursue me.

- Because...

- Afraid of the real thing?

So they say.

- There's Patrick.

- Oh, Patrick.

- Patrick...

- Quiet. Leave the man alone.

Can you not see

that his heart is broken?

How can he eat when the woman...

that he loved

abandoned him forever,

virtually without explanation...

and may be, at

this very moment,

cuckolding him with

some other man.

- Good night, everybody.

Cuckolding? What's that mean?

- Hey.

- I'll be right with you.

I'm giving Ann Coulter's...

frequent flyer miles

to Michael Moore.

Ajay, come on, man.

This hacking's

getting out of hand.

- You can get into

serious trouble.

Too late. Bon

voyage, Mr Moore.

See the clipping

on love doctor's wedding?

Who in their right mind

is gonna marry her?

- Whoever we want.

- What do you mean?

Check this out.

- Who's that?

- That's her.
