Romantic Comedies are huge blockbusters in the movie industries...
Pretty Woman, When Harry met Sally, Holiday and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, to name a few.
Well, they are usually nicely formulated and tend to be a feel good story.
I was thinking, well, hmmm, they have to start somewhere right?
I am sure if we had time to interview each one of us, we are bound to have an abundance of laughing moments. It reminds me of the good times when I would tell Anne about my dating mishaps while she was going through chemo...I remember her laughing so hard at me and each month coming back to my place, asking me if I had a new story. (miss you Anne!)
Let's start with my most recent. Why is this different than the other guys I have dated? Because I was the one that took the lead...OMG, yes me...
Remember when I blogged to you about my recent appendectomy?
The one Jimmy thinks only happens in the movies/sitcoms?
Here's a potential screenplay...parts only...
Location: Big City Hospital
Romantic Comedy Two Strangers accidental first meeting and their future dating experiences
Situation #1
Room full of family and yet GIRL feels very alone. Current guy she is dating didn't even bother to show up @ the hospital. Vowed to make changes when she gets out of the hospital.
Nurse and doctor tells patient (GIRL) that she can only go home if she does the #2(potty) after successful appendectomy. After hours & hours of not being able to accomplish this task, the hospital staff makes a compromise and tells GIRL she can go home only if she passes gas.
How is GIRL going to pass gas with her room full of visitors, some siblings, nieces & nephews and overly passionate parents?
Embarrassed yet taking nurses advice, she walks out of crowded hospital room to walk the hallways, hoping to toot in private and get a home sweet home pass.
The Meet Greet
Girl is on Morphin for pain sees a cute guy with hospital badge, heading towards the elevator.
Thinks she knows him.....Doesn't realize she is pretty much staring (again morphin)
GUY: No need to rush. (As he is holding the elevator open)
GIRL: Huh? Oh no, I'm not going. Sorry. (Waves him off as she turns to walks away slowly)
GIRL: So sorry, (stops walking and faces him from afar) I didnt' mean to make you miss the elevator.
GUY: No biggie, I can catch the next. (as he smiles and realizes the girl is still staring)
GIRL: Does your name happen to be Peter? (thinks she knows him from high school)
GUY: Kinda.. (Weird how does she know my middle name?)
GIRL: ohhhhhhh then did you happen to go to ACME High?
GUY: Yes. (Thinking, do we know each other)
GIRL: And you have an older brother? (So sure that she knows him and thinking how much cuter he is than his brother)
GUY: YES....(What the ???? she does know me...)
GIRL: Peter! It's Susan, Chirs' old friend.... (huge smile)
GUY: Nooo, my brother is Jim... (Smiling back at her as elevator comes and goes, again)
GIRL: Oh my God, I don't know you... I AM SO SORRY! (Over re-acts with embarrassment)
GUY: That's quite alright (Laughing)
GIRL: Well, you should check up on me, (signing) CALL ME maybe (the song by Carly Rae Jepsen)..I'm sick you know. (Burst of confidence to flirt,remembering she should do things differently after the surgery)
GUY: Well what's your number?(pulls out his iphone)
GIRL: OMG really? (totally trying to remember her cell number) 713-555-1234
GUY: Bye...(Smiles as he gets on elevator, finally)
GIRL: I didn't get his name!Holy crap did that just happen? (Finally passes gas as she is walking back to her room)
Scene ends with her entering her lovingly crowded room while that CALL me Maybe song fades out the scene...
TA DA...Art imitating Life or vice versa?
Here's the song that started it all because they were playing it OVER AND OVER during the Olympics..
Glad it did play so often, otherwise, where would I be? hahahahha
TO BE CONTINUED....
I threw a wish in the well,Don't ask me, I'll never tellI looked to you as it fell,And now you're in my way
I'd trade my soul for a wish,Pennies and dimes for a kissI wasn't looking for this,But now you're in my way
Your stare was holdin',Ripped jeans, skin was showin'Hot night, wind was blowin'Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,At you baby,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,Try to chase me,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
You took your time with the call,I took no time with the fallYou gave me nothing at all,But still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and stealHave foresight and it's realI didn't know I would feel it,But it's in my way
Your stare was holdin',Ripped jeans, skin was showin'Hot night, wind was blowin'Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,
But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,At you baby,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,Try to chase me,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my lifeI missed you so badI missed you so badI missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my lifeI missed you so badAnd you should know thatI missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,At you baby,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,Try to chase me,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my lifeI missed you so badI missed you so badI missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my lifeI missed you so badAnd you should know that
So call me, maybe?
