Blind Dating Page #3

Synopsis: U.S.-based Leeza works in Dr. Perkins Medical Research Facility. Her mother, originally from India, was single when she arrived in America, and fell in with a Caucasian male as he looked like a movie star. Her dreams were shattered when he married a prettier Caucasian, leaving her to marry an East Indian. Leeza, now engaged to a boy of her father's choice, namely U.S.-based Arvind, meets with Danny, a Caucasian who is blind since his premature birth. He has enrolled himself at Dr. Perkins facility to try out a new procedure that will result in surgery to a part of his brain to restore his visual cortex, enabling him see in fuzzy black and white images. She is attracted to him, but is aware of her commitment to marry Arvind and feels it would be against the Hindu culture (where love is measured with loyalty, trust, respect, and commitment) to break off her engagement - especially when it seems that Danny may be able to see, reject her, and get involved with a much more attractive female

- Absolutely, the camera bypasses them.

But Danny remember. We don't

see with our eyes.

We see with our brains.

Now,

I'd like to tell you that if the

operation is successfull,

.. you would be able to see like

everyone else.

But that's not going to happen.

The best you can hope for...

...is a fuzzy black and white image...

.. may it'll be good enough to keep

from bumping into things..

.. may be it'll be enough to see your face.

Yea? Oh, thank you..

Yes, please

It's doctor Evans. I'd asked her to join us.

I know you know her.

You'll feel comfortable with her

She's going to be a vital

member of the team.

Doctor Evans.

Ohh, Doctor Perkins.

Amarige.

Yes, Danny that's right.

That's my new set.

- Do you like it?

- Yeah.. yeah it suits you.

What do you think doc?

It smells good.

Doctor Evans is going to be responsible for

putting together the psychological reports..

.. of all the potential candidates

for this operation.

- I'd have no problem with that.

- Good.

So all we really need to know,

that if the FDA gives us green light.

Can we put you down as

a potential candidate?

Oh, you can take your time, Danny.

This is a... very important decision.

- So, do you have someone leading you?

- No, I'll get a cab, if you can

put me in the right direction.

You know how to get out

of the building,right?

Hang to the left, go about 15 paces

you should reach the street...

...and a cab should be waiting there.

- Sounds good. -Ok.

- I can take him Doctor Perkins.

- I'm leaving now.

- I think I can manage, Doris.

The name is Lisa.

Why doesn't he use his cane?

Because he doesn't think himself as blind.

- Good night, Doris.

- Good night, Danny.

Taxi!

Lisa, you're late, they are waiting for

you.

- Arvind is here?

- And Mr. Bhat.

I'm sorry, I forgot.

I think you shouldn't say that

to your future husband.

Go go go

- You are in big trouble.

- Take a hike Ravi,

or I tell them what I found under your bed.

- Hey - I'm sorry I'm late.

- It's ok.

I apologize for keeping you waiting.

Why? Do you not speak English?

Of course I speak English.

I see your daughter does not forward

traditions or respect to elders..

...as well as punctuality.

For my daughter, punctuality is

an aspiration..

.and respect has to be earned.

Nice pal! That's my computer.

- I'm sorry, I didn't see it.

- Just pick it up and give it to me.

Relax, I'm looking for it.

Just give it back.

So they know you're blind,

They'd find out sooner or later.

It's none of their business.

Besides, in fact he was rude.

I should've smacked his face.

- You didn't tell me that he was rude to you.

- Yeah, he was rude.

You wanna turn around by now?
