A Date with Miss Fortune Page #7

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.

trying to squeeze another day out of those.

Yes, mom.

Look, you're letting

whatever that voodoo lady

said get to you, and

that's completely nuts.

Seora Maria has a gift.

Yeah, and it's called hustling!

Wait.

Aren't you going to fold my underwear?!

Hm?

You're stacking, see how I fold yours.

That's how you do it!

Do you really expect me to fold this?

Yes!

It's like trying to do origami.

Now please tell me that this

has something to do with

voodoo lady, because this is

the most intense conversation

about underwear, anyone has ever had!

She said we have to hold

off on getting married.

It's not a big deal.

It just means she has to

read you or us again.

This is about yourfamily, isn't it?

It has nothing to do with Seora Maria.

She's just a excuse.

No, Jack.

Maria, I promise I will change

your father's mind about me...

Because he's your family.

But there is no way in hell I'm

going to see the fortune teller.

Now if you believe in her,

that's fine, that's your thing.

But I will never be told

by some "magic lady"

who I can and can't marry.

And neither should you.

Look Maria, I love you.

That's all you need to know.

I love you too, Jack.

Our first fight.

You know what this can mean?

What?

Our first make-up sex.

Ohh.

God I love firsts.

Not on the underwear!!!

Good morning, baby.

Time to tell my parents the good news.

Have you seen any of my hair ties around?

I love this game.

I found one in my cereal the other day.

Come on we have to go.

Ready?

Bring it on.

No pausing.

Go!

Favorite musician?

-Black-eyed peas.-Katy Perry.

Favorite movie?

-Star Wars.-The Notebook.

Favorite food?

-French fries.-Chinese.

Uhh, favorite position?

-Quarterback.-On top.

Wow!

You were right.

This is definitely the best

way to get to know someone.

No, no.

I thought you meant...

I said position.

And look where you went.

You set me up!

You totally set me up!!

It was your game.

Wait a minute, why am I embarrassed?

You just admitted to liking Katy Perry.

What's wrong with Katy Perry?

Nothing, if you're a tween.

On top, huh?

You better believe it.

How come we always enter

through the back door?

Because we never use the

front entrance of our house.

Why not?

Because then it would get dirty.

C'mon.

I got this.

Marco!

Dinner!

Hey.

Hey.

You're most susceptible to

the devil when you yawn.

Mom stopped him.

Right on.

Homemade Portuguese wine is

the best wine in the world.

Jose, you missed someone.

That's okay.

I'm not a big drinker.

You no like Portuguese wine?!

No, no.

I do.

I just wanted you to know that I,

that I don't have a drinking

problem or anything.

So, Jack, Maria tells us
