A Date with Miss Fortune Page #5

Synopsis: When Jack gets rescued by Maria, a superstitious Portuguese beauty, he has no idea that his life and luck are both about to change. During this accidental "first date", Jack and Maria project idealistic images of themselves -- images that are humorously contradicted through a series of flash-forwards to their future life together.

This looks delicious.

What is it?

Cozido.

Pigs feet.

Thanks.

I can't believe you ate that, dude.

There's pizza.

Thank you.

Have some rice pudding.

I will.

Ow!

Where's Mr. Moniz?

Ah, he's probably in the house.

Go talk to him, Jack.

He gets nervous with new people.

I can tell by the way she looks at you,

you have won my daughter over.

Thanks, mom.

I bet you don't get too many

vampires down here, huh?

Because of the uhh...

So, I hear your a big football fan?

So am I.

Who's your team?

Stay away from Maria.

Can't say I'm familiar with them.

Although I imagine their

logo is just a picture

of you looking angry.

Kind of like that.

You make jokes.

Jokes aren't funny!

Jokes won't make my daughter happy!

With all do respect, sir, I

do make your daughter happy.

I mean, I think I do.

And I know I want to, more than anything.

Have you ever heard the expression,

"laughter is the best medicine"?

Have you heard the Portuguese expression,

"medicine is the best medicine"?

You know who said that?

Maria's ex fianc.

He's a doctor!

Uhh, my uncle says, you're a lucky man.

Thank you, Uncle Joao.

Two.

You did that on purpose,

didn't you you little devil?

I gotta go.

Goodnight everyone, thank you.

Bye!

Love you!

Love you too.

They hate me.

They don't hate you.

They just need to get to know you.

Well I'm not sure how

crazy I am about them.

They're judgmental, intimidating.

Your father threatened me, and your sister!

Mmm, I have never seen

dexterity in toes like that!

Ever!

Your grandmother caught me on the lips.

It was like kissing a catfish!!!

And the Ricky Martin painting?!

The what?

In your dads little man cave?

Oh, no, that's not Ricky Martin,

that's Cristiano Ronaldo,

a famous Portuguese soccer player.

Listen Jack, I know they can be a handful.

But I'm just really glad you tried.

It meant a lot to me.

Wow.

I've never seen you get

worked up like this.

What happened to cool cat nip Jack?

He just got a taste of his future in-laws.

What?

I was planning on doing this differently.

Maria, you've made me

realize all the things

I never knew I wanted.

And now that I know, there's

only one thing left to do.

Will you marry...

Oh yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

We just have to see Seora Maria first.

Your therapist?

I believe in therapy.

I think people can learn a lot

about themselves, you know.

I guess, it's just not for me.

You know travelling is my therapy.

I learned a lot about myself

while backpacking through Europe.

But it was my time in India

was the most profound.

I remember riding an elephant

to see the Taj Mahal at sunset.

It was the most incredible thing.

Emperor Shah Jahan built it in
