Finding Mr. Right

Synopsis: City girl Jiajia is traveling to Seattle to give birth to the son who's going to help her win over her rich, married boyfriend. Armed with his unlimited credit card and the singular goal of bringing a little U.S. citizen back to Beijing, Jiajia knows how to play this game of modern love. But when Jiajia arrives in Seattle, the city which inspired her favorite movie Sleepless in Seattle, nothing goes right: she's stuck sharing a small house with two other pregnant ladies, she has trouble reaching her boyfriend on the phone, and eventually, even the credit card stops working. To top that off, the only person willing to spend time with her is her driver Frank. Frank is the opposite of everything she ever wanted in a man... or could he be exactly the kind of guy she really needs?

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Next.

Hello.

Good evening.

What is the purpose of your visit?

Why do you come to the US?

Oh, em...

travel.

Are you alone?

You're single?

Single?

I am single lady, I am single lady

Stop it.

Many people would go to Los Angeles

and New York for holiday.

Why do you come to Seattle?

Can you say again?

I ask why you come to Seattle.

Movie. Movie.

Sleepless in Seattle.

You know that I love that movie. I love it.

Look to the camera.

No smiling.

Romantic love.

Enjoy your stay here.

I did it. Six months.

Thank you. Thank you.

Miss Wen Jiajia from Beijing?

Yes.

Sorry I'm late.

What took you so long?

30 minutes late!

I'm sorry.

I paid for your service.

I spent 12 hours on that plane.

Don't you know that I really need a rest?

Watch out! My suitcases are very expensive!

Trust me,

you don't wanna break any of those babies!

I definitely file a complaint!

Other people wait there with a sign

and look at you!

Why don't you give me your address

and I go to pick you up instead?

Unacceptable.

You know how cold it is?

I'm sorry.

Didn't your mother teach you to be on time?

Hurry UP-

Careful.

It's so cold

that makes my nose running

Open up now!

Is that a mouse?

Haven't you heard of the bird flu?

I'm sorry. It's sterile.

How come!

You let a pregnant woman sit besides mouse?

I'm not getting in this car.

Sit in the front.

It just starts raining like that?

That's Seattle for you.

Why did you take off your seat belt?

It's beautiful.

Fasten your seat belt.

Fasten your seat belt.

Such a bother.

Get in the car.

What are you doing?

Come on.

What's going on?

Any Problem?

No, sir.

Any problem, Ma'am?

Say no.

No.

What's going on?

These maternity centers are illegal.

Looks like they got busted.

Get in the car.

Let's get out of here.

Where to?

You're asking me?

I just got here. How would I know?

You're their driver.

You have to take me somewhere safe

to have the baby.

Come on. What are you waiting for?

Hurry UP-

Where are you taking me?

Don't you want to find a maternity center?

I don't even know your name.

Frank.

Can I look at your driver's license?

What for?

I've never seen an American driver's license.

Oh.

What are you doing?

I just put your information on Weibo.

I have like 50 thousand followers.

If you turn out to be some psycho

and something happens to me,

the police will find you.

Give it to me.

You're late. Julie is asleep.

I picked up a pregnant woman at the airport.

She's looking for a maternity center.

Mouse Boy, what place is this?

A center run by a Taiwanese lady.

What?

Taiwanese? Will the police come here?

They never have.

But I don't know if I like Taiwanese cooking.

She's the only one I know.

If you don't like it here,

I'll take you to a hotel,

and you can figure it out tomorrow.

You...

Mouse Boy, don't you threaten me!

This better be honest business.

Don't you forget.

All my weibo followers have seen your license.

Are you staying or not?

This is the storage room

and that's the living room.

That's our dining room...

and that's our kitchen.

The bedrooms are upstairs.

We provide three meals a day

plus two extra ones.

It's USD3,000 per month

before you give birth...

and USD4,500 afterwards.

If you have visitors staying with you,

an extra bed costs USD1,500.

Help yourself to the fruit,

milk and juice in the fridge.

You can call me Mrs. Huang.

What's your name?

Wen Jiajia.

Ms. Wen, this is your room.

It's so small.

It's so small.

I'm not kidding.

This is a standard room,

and the bathroom is downstairs.

What is a standard room?

Standard means without bathroom.

A room with bathroom is called suite.

How is it standard if there's no bathroom?

I want a suite!

Standard? My ass.

Can you keep it down? Ms. Wen

Everyone's asleep.

I don't care. I want a suite.

Put the luggage down.

I want a big suite,

and I can double the price.

Ms. Wen,

can we discuss this tomorrow?

I'll see if they want to switch with you.

You had a long day...

and your baby needs to rest, right?

We have hot water 24 hours a day.

Breakfast is at 9.

Excuse me.

You work for them, don't you?

Bring them up.

She thinks money makes her so special.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's not your fault.

You're trying to bring me business.

I didn't know what else to do.

Hey,don't you knock first?

Don't you lock the door?

Didn't you read the sign?

We are in the same gender!

There's nothing I haven't seen before.

The number you have dial

cannot be reach at this time.

Please try again later.

No no no. Thanks. I'm fine.

You never knock, do you?

It's too early for this noise.

You woke me up.

It's noon, for crying out loud.

Jeag.

I'm so sorry I woke you.

Wait. This means "occupied",

and this means you can go in.

We're home.

Joe,

I'm so tired.

You missed so much.

Big sales.

I bought a lot of clothes

for my elder daughter,

cost me less than 30 bucks.

I bought some more to sell back home,

and easily double the price. Haha.

Mrs. Huang.

Oh. New tenant. Hello.

Can we talk about the room now?
