DANNY: "There's no doubt" that when I was a kid,
I was what you would call different.
Yep, that's me, Danny Waldesakee, followed by my loving family.
(SCREAMING)
They were always trying to help, always trying to save me from myself.
(GIRL SCREAMING)
(CLAMOURING)
- Danny! - MARIE: Danny, Danny!
BOY: Are you okay?
(CHILDREN CLAMOURING)
Are you okay?
He's not moving.
- Sweetie, talk to me. Are you all right? - He looks like road kill.
I'm okay.
- Way to go, asshole. - Lorenzo!
(LAUGHING)
DANNY: "My mom was the kind of person"
whose love could kill you if you weren't careful.
I guess she blames herself because I was born three months premature.
- Have a good day. Okay! - Mom!
I was just in a hurry to get out. I'm always in a hurry.
- Hi, Danny. - Hi.
(All LAUGHING)
Pull, pull!
- Danny, switch your hands. - Dad, can I hit?
No, it's Danny's turn. Here we go.
All right, I'm going to pull this thing out of the ball. It’ll make that noise...
When you hear it, whack it.
Swing!
- You suck. - Don't do it.
- Get off of me. - Hey, hey.
DANNY: "My dad was cool." He never worried like my mom.
He knew I didn't want to go to blind school, so he sent me to normal school.
And he let me and my brother visit him at work.
Help! There's a blind kid driving the train.
Larry, my brother,
only two years older than me, was a boy with a mission.
Help! Help.
He took it upon himself, at an early age, to teach me about life.
LARRY: Come on, Danny.
Don't do it. Remember the last time?
You keep out of this. This candy's not for little girls.
This candy's only for men. Come on, Danny, take a piece.
(LAUGHING) He took it!
- Get lost! - He ate dog shit again.
(All BOYS LAUGHING)
DANNY: "And as we grew up," Larry's life lessons continued.
(LADY MOANING ON TV)
Larry, what's happening? Is she dying?
(MOANING CONTINUES)
- BOY: It's your mom. - Shoot.
Lorenzo!
(SPEAKING IN ITALIAN)
And in front of Danny.
- What's the problem? He can't see nothing. - God can see!
DANNY: "Needless to say" that by the time I was a young man,
I needed help.
Try to be more specific, Danny. Why do you think you feel this way?
Ah...
I guess I'm just curious, you know. I mean, I run my fingers over my face but...
- But that tells me shit about how I look. - And that matters to you, does it?
Sure, yeah, of course it does.
You know, even Marie's got these friends and they come by, and she's 14 years old.
You know, these girls freak me out. I want to know that girls are attracted to me,
and don't just feel sorry for me or give me pity.
I feel like I'm a 12-year-old trapped in a 22-year-old body, you know?
It's perfect.
(LAUGHING)
I'm a 22-year-old blind virgin, who doesn't know anything about girls.
Hey, at least I want to know that I don't look like some kind of monster.
(SOFTLY) Oh, believe me, Danny, you don't look like a monster.
Doc, are you naked again?
Hmm.
Oh, I'm sorry, Danny.
Oh, Doc, you promised you weren't gonna do that any more.
(STUTTERS) It's just that... It's something... A little problem. I'm working on it, though.
Doc, you are one of the smartest people I know,
but I think you might be crazier than most of your patients. You know that?
It's just that sometimes I just feel this need to break out, to be free.
To be who I really am. I'm sorry, Danny. It will never happen again.
- I promise. - You said that last time.
I know, I know.
- And I’ll probably say it again. - You're a kook, you know that?
- But I love you. - Yep.
So... Where were we?
(DANNY CHUCKLING) "Okay, so apart from" the fact I got this problem with women,
I'm handling things pretty well.
- Hiya, Danny. - Hiya, Danny.
Hi, girls.
He's so cute.
(SINGING OPERA ARIA ALONG WITH RECORDING)
- Danny? Danny? - Yeah, Ma.
Come on in, your father wants to talk to you.
Sit down.
- Don't you wanna sit down? - No. What's up?
- I say go for it, Danny. - Go for what?
- It's too dangerous. - Ma.
How could you do this to me?
How could I do what to you? What are you talking about?
- But it's Danny's big chance. - It's out of the question.
Does somebody want to fill me in on what we're talking about?
- You stay out of it. - Shut up, shut up, all of you shut up!
Danny, we got a call from a doctor,
- Doctor... What was his name? - Perkins.
- That wasn't it. - Yeah, it was Perkins.
- No, it wasn't. - You talked to him on the phone,
- you said it was... - It's Perkins.
A Dr Perkins.
He said you were maybe gonna volunteer for some sort of experimental operation?
Maybe can make you see?
What's going on here? How come you never said nothing?
I didn't say anything because I haven't volunteered for anything yet.
You don't talk to me about these things anymore?
- It's not a big deal. - Yes, this is a very big deal.
- What's going on? - It's not gonna happen.
There are risks. You don't know, there could be problems.
Hey, Ma, you want to let him make up his mind for once in his life?
- Ma, what if he could see? - Exactly, what if he could see?
You are a guinea, not a guinea pig.
- Oh, where you going? Come back here. - Come on, Danny, we're talking.
This is exactly why I didn't want to say anything.
I didn't want to worry you, Ma. I didn't want to get everybody's hopes up either.
I don't even know if I want to go through with this yet.
Danny, it's your call. Whatever you decide to do,
- we're all behind you. - I know, I know.
Right?
Well, I'm hungry. Ma, how about some dinner?
Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of.
Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble,
but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of the three little people
don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
Here's looking at you, kid.
JAY: Oh, D. Yo, Danny boy.
Hey, Danny boy.
- Jay, what's up? - Hey, man.
I got some ballers down the court who would swear they got game.
(CHUCKLING)
So what do you think, wanna make some bucks?
Yeah, let's do it.
Danny! Are you nuts? Danny, what are you doing? Danny!
(WHOOPING)
That's it, I'm convinced, you are the Batman.
- How's your sonar? - Good. Let's do it.
- DANNY: Ready to make some money? - Easy, easy.
- JAY: Hey. - Get back, get back.
Hey! You guys, this is the guy I was telling you about.
And like I said, if he wins, you guys got to pay 5-to-1 , it's only fair.
- How's he gonna know where the hoop is? - You with the handicap police?
(SNICKERING)
Take a shot. Show 'em.
- DANNY: Oops. - Um...
Bring it, fellows. Let's try 10 bucks.
- Ten bucks? - That's 50 bucks if he wins.
Hey, man, he's blind as a bat. We got this.
Ready?
All right, shoot the ball.
Stevie Wonder's gotta shoot first.
(SNICKERING) Whatever.
Follow the voice. Right here.
Go!
Oh, ooh!
Danny, follow the voice. Atta boy! Oh, my goodness, three times in a row?
Now that was a net, but it's still good.
Oh, you guys, got an "A". Poetry in motion, oh!
Oh, yeah. Got an "O". Fat one.
- JAY: We got it all. - Come on.
That'd be the net.
You guys got an ”S”. That was a net, wasn't it?
Go hard on 'em.
(EXCLAIMING) Oh!
Oh, almost. An "E". You guys lose, pay up. Here we go.
Now we're talking.
- DANNY: What is it? - Fifty bucks, man.
- Fifty bucks! - You are amazing. You know that, right?
The way this is going, I’ll have most of my tuition paid.
Think of it as like a basketball scholarship, man.
Yeah. How about you? What's going on with that night law school thing?
- Got my first class coming up. Yeah. - Really?
- You ready? Atta boy! - Of course I am, man.
(BOYS WHOOPING)
ANGELO: I'm here to eat, please. JAY: Let's hear the meat.
- All right. - Whoo.
Gina said if you ask her out, she’ll say yes.
- Hit me, hit me. - JAY: Those legs are good.
You're so strange. How come you never want to go out with any of my friends?
- Leave your brother alone. - Because you're 14.
- What could these girls offer him? - What could these...
The time of his life, Ma, that's what they could offer him.
Not everyone is like you, Lorenzo.
That's what you think.
At least now you're in your own apartment you don't bring them here any more.
- Thank God. - See, this is why I love coming over here.
Danny, do you remember that girl?
(LAUGHING) Ass like a coconut, huh?
She's laying in the bathtub. He has no idea.
He turns on the water. She almost has a... Okay!
- We're eating here. - I'm sorry. Marie, forgive me.
Say, Danny, why don't you tell us more about this operation?
Let me volunteer first, Pop. What's the hurry?
The doctor said family’s important.
Yeah, Ma, it's important to stay out of it.
- To give support. - Maybe tomorrow we can drive you there.
No, it's all right. Jay's giving me a ride.
Oh, Jay's got wheels now, huh?
(TRAIN WHISTLING)
Let go of my ears!
You think that's funny...
BOTH: Oh, shit.
DANNY: Come on.
Yeah, everybody! Here it is.
- Come on. - Whoo!
All aboard, hold on.
(SCREAMING) Danny, what are you doing?
That's pitch black, man.
Oh! Hold on, Danny.
- JAY: Ah, made it. - Nice wheels, man.
- Chicks dig it. - Where you at?
- Hey, you’ll be all right to make it home? - Yeah.
- All right, buddy, I’ll be going, all right. - All right.
- Hey, quit it now. - Don't make me.
I thought you'd promised you'd be good.
I thought you told Ma you were going to behave while she was gone, okay?
(EXCLAIMING)
(All LAUGHING)
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
(GIRL CRYING)
No!
- Where's Doris? - Honey, why don't you get back?
Hey, where's Doris?
Now quit your whining. Can't you see I'm busy?
No, I can't see that you're busy. Can't you see that I'm fucking blind?
He said the ”B” word. He said the ”B” word.
- What happened to Doris? - She's on vacation.
That's too bad, I liked her.
What are you staring at?
Now, the signal from the camera which is mounted on the glasses
goes directly to a chip which is implanted in the visual cortex of the brain.
So my eyes are not a part of the process, then?
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 successful
you would be able to see like everyone else.
Well, that's not going to happen.
The best you could hope for is a fuzzy black-and-white image,
maybe it’ll be good enough to keep from bumping into things,
maybe it’ll be enough to see a face.
(PHONE BEEPING)
Yeah? Oh, thank you. Yes, please.
(EXHALING)
That's Dr Evans. I've asked her to join us.
I know you know her, you feel comfortable with her.
She's going to be a vital member of the team.
Dr Evans?
Oh, Dr Perkins.
- Amarige. - Oh!
Yes, Danny, that's right. That's...
- It's my new scent. Do you like it? - Yeah. Yeah, it suits you.
What do you think, Doc?
It smells good.
Dr Evans is going to be responsible for putting together the psychological reports
of all the potential candidates for this operation.
- I got no problem with that. - Good.
So then all we really need to know, that if the FDA gives us the 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 meeting you?
No, I’ll get a cab if you can point me in the right direction.
So, you know how to get out of the building, right?
- Got to memorise that. - Okay, you hang to the left,
go about 15 paces, you should reach the street and a cab should be waiting there.
- Sounds good. - Okay.
I can take him, Dr Perkins, I'm leaving now.
- I think I can manage, Doris. - The name's Leeza.
Why doesn't he use his cane?
Because he doesn't think of himself as blind.
Good night, Doris.
Good night, Danny.
(GIGGLING)
Taxi!
Yo!
(SPEAKING HINDI)
Leeza, you're late. They are waiting for you.
- (EXCLAIMING) Arvind's here. - And Mr Bhat.
I'm sorry, I forgot.
I don't think you should say that to your future husband.
You look beautiful, go, go, go, go, go.
- You are in big troubIe. - Oh, take a hike, Ravi.
Or I’ll tell them what I found under your bed.
- Arvind, hey! - Hey.
- I'm sorry I'm late. - It's okay.
I apologise for keeping you waiting.
(SPEAKING HINDI)
- Why? Do you not speak English? - Of course I speak English.
(SPEAKING HINDI)
I see your daughter does not follow our traditions of respect for elders,
and punctuality.
For my daughter punctuality is an aspiration.
- Dad! - And respect has to be earned.
(STUDENTS CHATTERING)
Watch it, man. 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.
LARRY: So they know you're blind, Danny.
I mean, they were going to find out sooner or later.
It's none of their business.
Besides the fact he was rude, I should have smacked his face.
- You didn't tell me he was rude to you. - Yeah, he was rude.
You want me to turn around right now? I’ll go beat the shit out of him.
(LAUGHING)
No, killer, maybe later.
WOMAN: All right, all right. Okay, okay. Gross!
Hey, is there someone in the back?
Yeah, Suzie's in the back.
- Suzie? - Suzie.
- Who's Suzie? - Um, Danny, Suzie's a hooker.
- And she's in the back with someone? - Yes, she is.
- Oh, Jesus, what's going on? - When I haven't got a booking,
I've been renting out the car to my lady friends,
and they take care of the business in the back with their johns.
Now, the johns, they have to pay an extra 50 'cause that's classified as kinky sex.
That extra 50 goes to the house. Yours truly.
- Uh-huh. - Mmm-hmm.
Hey, you want to go get something to eat, man?
This soundtrack's making me hungry.
So, are you going to go through with this surgery, or operation, or what?
I don't know.
- I mean, what do you have to lose, huh? - Half my brain.
Half your brain, what do you mean?
I told you they have to implant this chip in my brain.
This is like brain surgery?
(CHUCKLING) Yes, genius, like brain surgery.
You're a slob.
- What are you doing? Get away with that. - You're making a mess.
- Filthy. - Watch your face.
It just might have like a significant ”oops” factor, huh?
- What? - Oops,
we lost half your childhood memories, sorry.
- Hmm, exactly. - What's the upside?
Well, they said if it works, and it's like the mother of all ”ifs”,
they can get a fuzzy black-and-white image.
No, no, no. We don't want anything less than full blown, high-definition colour, you know?
Digital.
SUZIE: Thank you.
- Denver. - It was Dallas, he killed a man in Dallas
- just to see if he was gay. - Watching him die.
Can you excuse me? This gentleman has a favour to ask you.
- Photo. - Photo. Yeah, photo.
Oh, you want me to take a picture? Sure, all right.
- Okay. - All right, here we go. Ready?
- Don't press the boobs, sweetie. - One, two, three.
- There we go. - Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
- Whoo! Thank you. - Thank you, sweetheart.
- Who's your friend? - Oh, Suzie.
- This is my brother, Danny. - Get out of here.
- That's him. - Well...
Have you told your brother how handsome he is?
I haven't today.
- Well, tell him. - Hey, Danny, you're gorgeous.
- Well, you are. - Thank you.
Hey, Danny,
any time that you want to go in the back of your brother's limo with me,
you just let me know, okay? No charge, of course.
Will do.
(LAUGHING) All righty.
- Okay, you boys. - All right, you little sexy kitten.
- Y'all have a great night. - Hey, I’ll see you tomorrow.
- I’ll see you. - Damn right.
Ooh, that's my kind of woman.
- She just made you an offer you can't refuse. - Oh, stop it.
LARRY: Hey, Danny, you know what, don't bullshit me...
Watch your step, you know, we both know you haven't done it.
At your age? It's not natural, man.
Now, you could start to build up all kinds of pressure,
and let's not forget about your prostate.
- Okay. No, no, no, hold on. Hold on. - Okay.
This is why old guys have all those problems. No sex.
Do you think the fact that I haven't had a relationship hasn't been on my mind?
I'm not talking about a relationship. I'm talking about sex.
Look, Danny, you do want to do it with a woman, right?
- Yes, of course I do. - All right.
Hey, look, I just had to ask, all right?
You gave me a little bit of a heart-stopper there for a second.
Look, you don't understand, Larry.
I don't want something cheap. I'm looking for the real thing.
Fine. I’ll set you up with one nice girl.
I don't want anything arranged either. I don't want a hooker.
Danny, okay, no hookers. I’ll find a good girl for you.
No, I don't think so. We've been through this before.
You know what I think?
- I think you're scared. - Bullshit.
- Afraid of a little vagina? - Shut your mouth.
Scared of a vagina.
(GRUNTING)
DANNY: It's got to be a real date, you know, dinner and everything.
Yeah, and then, you know, take her back to my place.
If we feel something for each other and she wants to do it, then we’ll do it.
Only if she wants to do it.
Yeah. Yeah, Danny, that's how it usually works.
Otherwise they arrest you and charge you with rape.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
What are you laughing at? What?
I'm just thinking it will be like a real blind date.
Danny, really, after 22 years you just thought of that joke?
Oh, my God, will you turn the window down, please. You're still wearing that cologne?
LARRY: You don't like that? Truly?
Are you breaking my balls or you really don't like that?
- So, who is she? - I don't know, Mandy someone.
Do you trust Larry? What if she's, like, a dog?
Okay, that's good. Stand up.
- You look good. - Yeah.
- I like the hair. - Oh, what is this now?
- Huh? - How does he look?
How do I look?
- You look like a jackass, Danny. - What? He looks good.
- Did you do this? - Yeah.
- What? - We got to change that shirt.
- What's wrong with this shirt? - Nothing's wrong with this shirt.
A lot is wrong with that shirt.
We don't need another Tony Soprano in our house.
Do not say anything bad about Tony Soprano.
Larry, you can leave now.
Guys, guys, the shirt, the shirt. What's wrong?
- Larry? - Out!
I was just trying to help.
Larry, what is it? What is it? What's wrong with it?
- It's very loud. - Okay, well, pick another one.
This is a nice shirt.
- I bought you this shirt. - Come on, come on, come on.
- So, how do you know her? - She's a friend of a friend.
- Unbelievable. - What? I'm not done yet, Danny.
You make a blood oath that she isn't a dog or I stay.
- Are you kidding me? - No.
- You don't trust me any more? - In one word, no.
And why not?
Are you forgetting Gracia Moreno in the 1 0th grade?
- Gorilla Moreno? - Yeah.
Some people thought that girl was hot.
She smelt like a shaggy carpet. You make the oath or I stay.
- Fine, I’ll make your stupid oath. - Go ahead.
- Ah, God, that hurts. - Sharp edge, Larry.
All right.
No, no, a blood oath is when we both cut ourselves.
- Uh-uh. - Yeah, that's what it is.
- No. Cut yourself. - You cut yourself.
- You do it first. - Do it.
- No. - Cut yourself.
- Are you gonna do it? - No.
- Well, then let's get out of here. - Fine.
This is ridiculous. Come on.
Okay, Mandy, my pleasure to introduce you to my brother Danny.
Very nice to meet you.
(CLEARING THROAT)
After you.
Oh, you poor man.
(WHIMPERING)
Danny! Come on.
Get in the car.
(SNIFFLING)
- I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. - No, no, no, no.
You’ll feel much better after we get some food. I'm sure.
(SNIFFLING) Okay, okay.
- So you're really blind? - Yes.
(SOBBING)
(MANDY SOBBING HYSTERICALLY)
Signorina.
Look, please, please, stop crying. Stop it.
(STOPS CRYING)
You know, just think I've been like this since I was born.
I don't know any differently.
How brave.
Why don't we talk about you, how's that?
We’ll talk about you. Tell me something about yourself.
Well, there's not much to tell really, um...
I'm 25 years old and I work as a secretary.
People think I look like Meryl Streep.
But you’ll never know what Meryl Streep looks like.
(CRYING) Oh, God.
(SOBBING)
I think the next one shouldn’t be so sensitive.
Evening.
Get out of my way, asshole, can't you see he's blind?
Look what you did!
Danny, come here, honey, let me help you. All right.
Okay, put me down, put me down. Put me down.
- I can walk. - Just trying to help.
You gonna get the door or what, 2Pac, let's go.
- Larry! - Yes.
- I'm on it. - Larry!
- There you go. - Thank you.
You're very weIcome.
Ladies first. Oh!
- I'm sorry. - I'm fine, really, I'm fine.
Go ahead.
Cheers, baby.
So, Danny, tell me, you a physical guy? Like to do some working out?
- Um, sure. - What do you press?
50 pounds, maybe.
I like that. I like a man with a sense of humour.
Mama's gonna help you out.
- Here you go. - You know...
I can eat on my own. It's fine.
Hey, I'm just trying to create some chemistry, baby.
I got to go to the bathroom.
- I’ll take you. - I can walk.
Mmm.
Ah, Mama hasn't had action like this in weeks. I'm hungry, let's go.
Catch you later.
Danny boy? Mamma's here. Danny?
- Pick up, pick up, pick up. - Danny!
You better get your ass in here. She's crazy.
Danny, open this door. Danny!
Signora, I must ask you to leave.
Oh, don't signora me, Pablo.
Better hold on to your squirrel before he loses his nuts.
Signora, take your time. Can I get you something to drink?
- An espresso, perhaps? - Out.
Danny!
Oh, God, get out of here!
Have you ever done it in the bathroom, Danny?
BIG MAMA: Larry. Larry!
I just want to meet a normal woman.
I'm gonna get you, honey. You do not cross Big Mama.
I've been looking so forward to this night,
that I brought a little something along with me as a surprise.
- All right. - Danny, I want to feel the way that you feel.
I want to see the things that you see.
I want to be as one with you, Danny.
Look, I have a blindfold. I can see the blackness.
Larry!
(SCREECHING)
Doris still on vacation?
- You're very good at this, aren't you? - I've got good insight.
I’ll tell them you're here.
This is a very big decision, Danny. Are you sure you want to do it?
- Yeah, sure I am. - It's very brave of you, Danny.
What? It's not like I'm volunteering for a suicide mission here, is it?
No, no, um...
What I meant to say was neurosurgery is never without risks
and it would be wrong of me to say otherwise.
Well, then, what are the risks?
We really don't know.
(WHISPERING) Help.
I think that what Dr Perkins is trying to say is that
you're very courageous to try something that has not been done very often.
Well, I can take Mr Waldesakee to a cab, Doctor, if he wants.
Sure.
He told me that... There you go.
There's always risks with brain surgery, but I figure what the hell,
- you gotta be brave some time. - Sure you gotta be brave,
but it's not so smart to walk around without a cane... Step.
- Thanks, Mom. - You're weIcome.
You're in luck, here's the cab.
Ah, I have a confession to make. I don't really need a cab.
- I just kind of wanted to talk to you a while. - Oh.
Um, that's very sweet.
My brother Larry's gonna pick me up. He owns a limo service.
- Larry's, ah... Larry's Limos. - Oh.
- He's not here yet. - How can you tell?
(CHUCKLING) If Larry were here, trust me, you'd know it.
But anyway, when he comes, maybe we can give you a ride?
Oh, um, thanks, but I'd better not, and my bus is here, so I'd better go.
- Yeah. Okay. - Okay. Bye.
Okay, see you soon.
- Thanks, Mom. - Thank you, Auntie.
If she brings us any more food, we can open our own restaurant.
We don't have to. After we get married we're gonna take over this one.
- It's all been discussed. - Oh.
And what else has been discussed?
That you’ll run this place until we start having kids.
And have you discussed when that is gonna be?
Well, the sooner the better and...
- I say we start practising now. - Arvind,
what if I don't want to run this restaurant?
What if I want to go to medical school?
(LAUGHING)
What?
- Ravi! - Sorry.
You know, the final choice isn't going to be made on ophthalmic criteria.
It's probably going to be made on a candidate's personality.
His ability to cope with the success or failure of the operation.
Danny, do you want to join me for Iunch? I go to the park across the road.
- I got turkey and cheese. - Got any shrimp?
- No. - Yeah, all right.
(LAUGHING)
My brother, Larry, when I was a kid,
told me that kids are supposed to run free in the park.
That's what parks are for. But he didn't tell me about trees.
I really hate trees. Like a lot.
- Can we take a walk? - Wait a minute,
- you want me to follow you? - No, you lead, just give me your shoulder.
- Okay. - Tread in these.
Okay.
- LEEZA: Where are we going? - You like baseball?
- I don't know, I've never been. - You've never been?
- No. - Ah, you’ll love it.
It's a beautiful game. And you get the smell of the grass,
you get the sound of the ball when it gets crushed.
- There's nothing like it. - Maybe I should go some time.
Has Dr Perkins talked to you about the operation?
Yeah, he said the final choice will be based on personality.
You're not gonna have a problem there.
I don't know, I'm not so sure about that.
Danny, I've worked with a lot of visually impaired people
and I can honestly say I've never met anyone like you.
- What do you mean? - Well...
It's this feeling you give to other people.
- And you don't use your cane. - I use my cane.
Not always, and that's stupid and dangerous and...
also kind of brave.
- Have you thought of a guide dog? - Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I love dogs. I've just got this little problem with dog shit.
(LAUGHING)
I guess what I'm trying to tell you is you're okay.
Think I'm okay enough to have dinner with me?
Okay.
Who are these friends you're going out with?
- Just friends from the hospital, Mom. Bye! - Mmm-hmm.
LEEZA: Thank you.
Thanks. I mean, I like that book, too.
I mean, I like to read.
But I love to watch movies, because in movies they don't...
They don't describe the trees and the sky and the birds
and all that stuff. In movies, they just talk. They just talk.
And when I hear someone's voice, I mean, it tells me...
It tells me so much about people.
Like your voice.
Your voice tells me that, uh...
Wait, that you have short, dark hair,
and, uh,
you have these big, beautiful dark eyes.
Dr Perkins could have told you that.
No, it's your voice. I'm telling you, it's your voice.
I mean, your hair, I can tell that it's short because I can't hear it swishing around.
Although I did take a chance on your eyes, but now I know it's true.
They are... They are big and beautiful.
Well, I figure, a lawyer, you know, has got to be able to read people's minds.
And when you're blind, that's mostIy what you do.
And are you reading my mind?
Yeah, sure.
And?
I can tell that you wanna be here.
But there's also something holding you back.
And I don't know what it is.
I think you're gonna be a very good lawyer.
What I'd really like to do is go to medical school.
- Mmm-hmm. - And then join Dr Perkins' research team.
Why don't you?
It's not that simple.
I'm a woman.
I noticed.
And one day I'd like to get married,
have a family.
Can't you do both?
No.
- Not without an understanding husband. - Hmm.
Then you're just gonna have to choose the right one.
That is one fine lady with you, Mr Waldesakee.
Thank you, James.
I can smell when Mrs Luciano makes fettuccine from three blocks away.
- Mmm-hmm. - Or when they cut grass at the baseball field.
I love your perfume.
And your smile.
Are you smelling that? The blossoms are out early this year.
Now you're showing off.
- Is there anybody else around? - No, we're alone.
I've had the best night I've ever had.
I just hope it's been half as good for you.
I've had a wonderful time.
All right, thanks.
I’ll take care of it, Larry. No problem.
I have an oil leak now.
So, you gonna tell me about it?
She's the most natural person in the whole world.
And she's got the most beautiful smile.
Danny, how do you know what her smile looks like?
You wouldn’t understand. It's the sound of it.
I love the sound of her smile.
So why didn't you take her back to my place last night?
Oh, because not everything's gotta come down to sex.
That's true. Money and looks are important, too.
- Oh, hey, Mike? - Yeah?
Don't forget to clean those footprints off my ceiling.
- I got it. - Unbelievable.
What's so unbelievable?
- Your face... - It's hot.
- Hi. - Hey.
They're gorgeous. Thank you.
Do you like Humphrey Bogart?
I like Humphrey Bogart.
Let's go, kid.
- What about us? - We’ll always have Paris.
We didn't have. We'd lost it until you came to Casablanca.
We got it back last night.
And I said I would never leave you.
And you never will.
I've got a job to do, too.
Danny, I've got to go.
No, don't go.
Um...
Leeza, I've never felt this way for anyone before.
I’ll see you soon, okay?
Yeah.
- Bye. - Bye.
Arvind will take over the business in a few years when I retire.
And with a loyal wife by his side,
he will be well able to provide for his family.
Arvind's ability to provide for his future family is in no doubt,
because he's Indian.
And there should be no doubt about the loyalty of his future wife, either.
I want to tell you how proud we all are of you, Danny.
First, for getting chosen for this operation,
and second, for having the "palle" to go through with it.
- What does "palle" mean? - Balls.
Stop corrupting Marie. Come on. Please.
Um, thank you, Pop. Thank you, Larry.
I would just like to say that, if this thing does work out,
and I can see your faces for the first time
and I find that you're all too ugly, I'm moving out.
- Hey! - Cin cin.
(All TOASTING IN ITALIAN)
Dr Perkins says if it's successful,
I might be able to see well enough to get around,
even identify faces.
I might be able to see your face.
And know what you look like.
OnIy a man can cause joy one day and tears the next.
What has Arvind done?
Mom, it isn't Arvind.
He's a Hindu?
He's not Indian.
(SIGHING)
A few years after I came to this country, I met this man, an American.
He was very handsome, like a movie star.
And every time I saw him, my heart jumped.
Mom.
What happened?
- Oh, he met a beautiful American girl. - Oh.
Nothing to be sad about. Just thankful.
I met your father just after that.
You're my only daughter, and I love you very much.
But you've made a promise to Arvind.
And only you can decide if you can honour that promise or not.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you earlier.
What are you talking about? What is that supposed to mean?
Danny, I've had a wonderful time with you.
And no one's ever made me feel this way.
But I'm engaged to be married.
Engaged to be married?
What is that supposed to mean?
It means I can't see you any more.
Am I missing something here? I don't understand.
I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier.
Do you love this guy?
Do you?
He's a nice guy, Danny.
That doesn't answer my question. Do you love him?
It's not that simple. There's a lot more to it than that.
Just be honest with me.
At the end of the day,
you'd rather be with someone who can see instead of some asshole blind guy.
LARRY: Danny, you know, I know what it's like to get dumped.
Okay? I understand. What you gotta do
is look at it like you're one of these one-in-ten guys, okay?
For every ten ”nos” that you get, you're gonna get one ”yes”, okay?
So this ”no” is really just bringing you that much closer to a ”yes”
You gotta trust me on this, Danny. It's all mathematics.
JAY: Ready, set, pitch!
Whoa!
Whoo!
Man, that would have been a double for sure.
I smell money, man.
- Hey, hey, um... - What's up?
So it doesn't bother you, you know, that I can't see, does it?
Nah.
Even when we were at school and you had to help me all the time?
Ah, wait a second.
It's those girls you've been dating.
- I just don't get it, man. I... - Look, Danny boy, girls are something
you cannot figure out, all right?
But if they can't realise that you're a good cat
and you've got it going on, screw 'em!
You're wild, man. Your hormones are jumping up.
Come on, next pitch.
LEEZA: So, where are we going?
- I just wanted to get some air. - Oh.
And so does your family.
- Come on! - Arvind!
- Leeza? - ARVIND: It's okay.
You look so beautiful tonight. I just wanted a little bit of time alone with you.
And these conkers have been calling out to me all night.
- Hello! - Stop it!
It's okay, we're gonna be married.
(CAR HONKING)
(TYRES SCREECHING)
- Stop it. - Oh! Oh!
Arvind?
Arvind, I'm sorry. Look...
LARRY: Nine, ten, 11,
12, 13.
(GRUNTING) Larry, bar.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, buddy.
There you go. Pump them out. That was good.
Need some help?
- Oh, no, no, I got it. - All right.
- Push through it. You got it. - LARRY: Yeah.
- One. - That's it.
- Two. - Good.
- Three. Four. - Good.
Five.
(GROANING LOUDLY)
- Ah, I'm done. - Haven't done one... yet.
Hmm?
Very, very impressive.
Hey, Danny, let's go.
- Hit the showers. - Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, pick something cool. Think James Dean.
- Did you mess up my hair? - It looks fine.
Come on.
So, who'd Larry fix you up with this time?
Pick it up. Right there.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
DANNY: Whoa...
(GASPING)
(CLEARING THROAT)
Um...
So, Larry tells me you're in the service industry. That's cool.
What do you do exactly?
(CHUCKLING)
The service industry?
I like that. That's a good one.
(EXHALING)
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)
This is Dolores.
Yeah, it's 500. Not including cab fare.
Call me in, like, um...
two hours.
No, I don't do seniors.
Oh, come on!
No, no, yeah. She was cute. We had a good time.
Larry!
LARRY: Where's Dolores?
- Ah! - What did I say?
What did I say?
No hookers, right?
Danny, get in the car, man. Get in the car, Danny!
- Oh, my God. - Larry, are you all right?
No.
Come on, Danny.
(LARRY GROANING)
- DANNY: Get in the car, Larry. - Signore...
LARRY: You punch like a bitch.
Shut your mouth and get in the car. It’ll stop bleeding, you pussy.
Ah...
LARRY: Danny, you know what? I was trying to help you out, man.
And I figured maybe, you know, you could use a little push.
There was one other girl I was thinking about setting you up with.
And this girl...
She's a real bombshell, man. A new client of mine.
- Top-class action. - No.
- Fine. - Fine.
- Fine. Fine. - Fine.
- She's top class? - That's what I said.
All right, on one condition.
What?
- She can't know I'm blind. - Are you nuts?
It's too risky, man. I don't see the point of it.
You don't see the point? The point is crystal clear, all right?
On each of the dates, they weren't dating me. They were dating some blind guy.
I don't want their pity.
You're saying you don't want a sympathy lay? Tissue.
At least you're on the right track.
Hey, how do you think you're gonna pull this off, huh?
Easy.
LARRY: You ready?
- All right, now you got the step... - I know. The step.
- One. Two, three, four. - Hold on, tell me what's to your left.
- All right. - Thank you very much, Larry.
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
- Good evening, Mr Waldesakee. - Bling you very much, James.
My man.
Ah, signore.
- The corner table as usual. "- Grazie," Pietro.
DANNY: Eight.
One, two, three, four, five.
Thank you, Pietro.
Uh... Bottle of your single vineyard Syrah.
Say, ”Something earthy and jammy”
- Something earthy and jammy. - Well done, well done.
Bravo.
(APPLAUDING)
(BARRY WHITE'S "CAN'T GET ENOUGH" "OF YOUR LOVE, BABE" PLAYING)
- Too loud. - No, no, not too loud, okay?
- That's good, right? - Yeah, something nice and loud.
Right there, and this is a six CD changer. So if she doesn't like the music,
you set this button here, and it changes the CD.
Okay? But just be careful with it, you know.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
That's FM radio, Danny, okay? Look, just...
All right, look... No, no, no. You don't have to push anything else.
All you're gonna have to do is push ”play”
- All right. - And that's it. And be very careful.
That's...
(LAUGHING)
That's not funny.
All right, Danny, look. Now, if you ever get this far,
then you're gonna need one of these.
That's a condom. It's for safe sex.
There's nothing worse than a blind guy with genital warts.
- It's squidgy. - Yes, Daniel. It is squidgy.
Now, this is something you're gonna have to do on your own.
I cannot help you with it. But think of it like homework.
Not now. Oh, you like that condom, don't you? Hmm.
Larry, they don't fit. What the...
I put them on, but they're too big. They keep on falling off.
That's impossible, Danny. You're a Waldesakee.
I've been trying for the last two hours.
- Danny, you stayed up for two hours? - What do you mean, ”up”?
Daniel, you can't put the condom on unless you're stiff, you know?
(LAUGHING)
You never told me that.
(WRAPPER OPENING)
- Danny, what is that? - Just opening another one to see if it fits.
Are you chewing on the condoms?
- They taste like heaven, man. - Why are you putting me on here?
You know I'm busy right now?
- Here you go. - Thanks very much.
- Ah, yes. Good evening, Mr Waldesakee. - Thank you, James.
- I really need a moment of your time, sir. - I'm sorry.
- It's gonna be about an hour. - How long?
- Five minutes, sir. - Thank you.
(GREETING IN ITALIAN)
You have a reservation?
Yes. Where's Pietro?
He's out with a dreadful flu, or so he says.
- What was the name on the reservation? - Waldesakee.
Right this way.
(SPEAKING ITALIAN)
Your table is this way.
Corner table, right?
No, as you can see, this table is occupied.
Sorry.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
- Yes, sir? - I arranged the corner table with Pietro.
Well, he did not tell me.
Right this way.
DANNY: Excuse me, excuse me.
Sir. Sir, is everything all right?
Guy, guy. Tell me, how far is it to the table from here?
- I beg your pardon? - Just Iisten very carefully.
From where we're standing right now, how many steps is it to the table?
I'd say about 20.
Which direction, using hours on a clock face?
Nine o’clock.
- Anything in the way? - No.
Okay.
Okay. Now, you're gonna walk in front of me. Walk slowly.
And keep on talking, so I know where you are.
Look, I don't know what's going on...
- Why didn't you tell me you were stopping? - I didn't know I had to stop.
(CLEARING THROAT) It won't happen again.
- Right this way, sir. Here is your table. - Great.
What took you so long?
I was just saying hi to some friends from Japan.
Well, this is my good side.
- You want some wine? I feel like some wine. - Oh, yes.
Waiter.
- Wine, sir? - Great.
Perfect. I will take the bottle of your single vineyard Syrah.
That's earthy and jammy, right?
- Let's order, I'm starving. - Oh, yeah.
Danny, you got some chocolate sauce on your chin.
Hey, you are not doing a very good job of cIeaning that up. Let me.
You're so different from the other men I date.
You're just like a little boy.
But you know what I like most about you?
Your eyes, and the way you look at me.
We can go back to your place now.
(TEACH ME TIGER BY APRIL STEVENS PLAYING)
Cheque.
With pleasure.
You silly little boy.
Who needs ice cream when you've got dessert like this?
(GROWLING)
(“CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE, BABE” PLAYING)
Such a sexy night.
- Don't you think? - Yes, it is.
Here you go.
(SCREAMING)
Oh, my God. I am so sorry. Oh, my God. Are you all right?
- Oh, my God. - The bathroom's over here...
It's okay, it's my friend's dress anyway so...
Guess I'm gonna have to get out of this now.
Yeah, definitely. Let's go... I’ll take you to the bathroom.
It's over there. Let me change the music.
You just sit back and enjoy the show, Mr Blue Eyes.
# 'Cause you're a cutie patootie and I shake my little booty
# And look at the chair and now I'm shaking my sexy hair #
Oh, yeah.
# Do you like what you see? #
- Yeah, you do. - Never seen better.
Yeah, baby!
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
Now you like what you see. Now you like what you see, right?
You like it.
Well, the CDs certainly like it.
Now, let's see if we are having the desire to fuck.
I knew something was wrong. Why didn't you tell me?
No, no, look. No, I just thought that maybe I could go out
with someone who didn't first have to come to terms with the fact that I'm blind.
Blind? I thought you were gay!
(DOOR SHUTTING)
DR PERKINS: Mrs Waldesakee,
if Danny misses any more tests we won't be able to proceed with the operation.
Thank you for calling, Doctor.
Give me that. Check, let's go.
Check from the top.
Check ball.
- No, no, no. - Right in your face.
Mama, relax. I’ll find him, okay?
Let's play some wuss. And take all your money.
- Danny boy, you game for wuss? - Yeah.
Check it out. The blind guy shoots first.
- And there's no dunking, you understand? - How do I know he's blind?
Because everyone knows he's blind.
How original, man. What are you, an eye specialist or something?
What are you talking about, boy?
Yeah, right. What are you, a wise guy or something? Give me that.
- Hey, Jay. You smell that? - What's that, Danny?
- Smells like ass, man. - What?
Hey, big man! You like hitting a blind kid?
JAY: Hey, you all right, buddy?
Hey! Put me down.
Don't hurt me, man. Put me down.
(All CLAMOURING)
Why haven't you been going to the doctor, Danny?
Hmm?
(SIGHING)
Danny, just tell me what the problem is. I promise you, it's not as bad as you think.
(SCOFFS)
I don't understand you any more, man.
This operation is something for you. You understand that?
Something to make your life better.
Why would you want to ruin that, huh?
I'm gonna be right by the car making calls if you need me, all right?
- Danny! Hi. - Hi.
DOCTOR: Do you have her chart?
- Here you are. - Thank you.
- I’ll tell Dr Perkins you're here. - Yeah, yeah, do that. Just tell him I'm here.
'Cause I'm here.
Danny, I need to know that you still feel positive about this operation.
I’ll tell you what.
Why don't you see Dr Evans one more time. She'll give us her assessment,
we take it from there.
Danny, wait. Look, can we go to the park and talk?
I never really explained myself too well.
- What's to explain? You're getting married. - Danny, please.
Danny.
Danny, please.
Danny, there's something else I should have told you before.
- Oh, Jesus. You're carrying his child? - No!
I haven't even slept with him.
- I haven't slept with anyone, ever. - Join the club.
Danny, I'm Indian.
It's hard to explain what that means to someone who isn't Indian.
It's a different world.
It's a different culture.
- This guy is Indian, too, right? - Yeah, he is.
And when I asked you if you loved him you couldn't answer me.
My family’s concept of love isn't what you think it is.
It's got to do with duty and loyalty
- and responsibility. - To who?
Danny, I can't go against my family.
I can't break a promise I've made.
I'm sorry.
And it's got nothing to do with you being blind.
Who knows,
when you can see
you might not like me anyway.
I'm not an American beauty.
I've got to go.
- Did I do something wrong? - Oh, no, Danny.
Falling in love with someone who's already engaged is not a crime.
Yeah, but it's a crime for her falling in love with me, is that what it is?
No.
The falling in love is completely natural.
I mean, we don't even have control over it.
- So, then maybe it's like manslaughter. - I don't understand.
When you do something and you don't really mean it.
No.
No. Falling in love is the most wonderful thing in the whole world.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
(SIGHS)
Are you naked today, Dr Evans?
No.
No, but I'd like to be.
- Dr Sato, we can do this. - I think it's impossible.
He's missed too many tests. He's obviously not committed.
We have enough time to finish those tests before the operation.
I promise you this boy is committed.
Most of us live our lives viewing it from the outside in.
Danny experiences his world from the inside out.
And that's his strength.
He is more than capable of dealing with traumatic change,
and of coping with the outcome of the operation, whatever that may be.
- I'm here if you need me. - Thank you.
What?
- Is my baby gonna be all right? - He's gonna be just fine.
Good.
'Cause if anything should happen to him, there's gonna be a lot of shouting,
down here and in heaven.
Hey. You're a good mother.
And you got a good boy. Nothing's gonna happen to him.
No one's gonna have to shout, you know?
Yeah, sure.
I could be there at, like, 9:30?
NURSE: Drape is ready.
- How are the leads? - In place.
NURSE: Sub-retinal prosthesis is standing by.
DOCTOR: All readings stable.
NURSE: Pneumatic pressure up.
Mr Waldesakee, excuse me.
Danny came through surgery beautifully.
- He's doing very, very well. - So when can we see him?
When he wakes up. And we start our tests as soon as he's strong enough.
- How are we doing? - Let's do this.
All right.
Now, you're going to feel a little pressure. Okay?
- You all right? - Fine.
Thank you.
I'm putting on the glasses.
And when the time is right, you take all the time you need,
I'm going to turn on the power to the camera, but you let me know.
- I'm ready. - Good man.
We're gonna do this on the count of three. All right?
One, two and three.
All right, tell me what's happening.
- What's happening? - What is it, Danny?
(GROANING) It just hurts a little bit.
There's um...
There's something right here. There are things.
Things? Fast things. Probably fast things.
This is an indication that the visual cortex is being stimulated.
It's not all black any more. It's...
Is there a...
There's something here like a square.
- Square? - It's...
Square? Danny, that's a window.
- Danny, you're looking at the window. - I saw something move, something moved.
That's me, that's me. You just saw me in front of the window.
Let's get the belt. Dr Sato, please lead the way.
- It's a good start. - Not bad.
Feels like a rollercoaster though.
- Let's get you home. - Well done.
Right, good, you got that, okay.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah.
Here we go.
(GROANING) Ah!
- Hi, baby. - Hi, Ma.
(SOBBING)
Guess who?
What's up, ugly?
- Where's Jay? - Right here, man.
- What's up? - Huh?
You rock, man.
I'm proud of you, man.
DR EVANS: I'm so proud of you, Danny.
- Guess it works. - This is tweed, huh?
(All LAUGHING)
RICK: "Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow,"
but soon, and for the rest of your life.
What about us?
We’ll always have Paris.
- MARIE: Danny. - Yeah?
- You okay? - Yeah.
Come here, I want to show you something.
I've got a job to do, too.
Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of.
Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble,
but it don't take much to see that the problems of the three little people
don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
It's you.
Someday, you’ll understand that.
Now, now...
(GROANING) Ah, ah.
Danny? Danny!
(SHOUTING) Mom!
Danny? Mom!
All right. That's all right.
Good constriction. That's good.
Shoulders to your ears.
All right. Yeah, yeah.
Leeza.
That doesn't sound Indian.
- No. - You really like her, don't you?
You're in love with her!
Yeah.
Guess so.
Well, have you told her?
No. I didn't get a chance.
It is the date chosen by the Vedic astrologer as the most auspicious day for the wedding.
To avoid any calamity.
Are you in agreement with it?
Sure. The 28th is as good a date as any.
We are at the dawn of a new procedure, and we're having to learn as we go.
But remember, you and I wouldn’t be standing here talking, right now,
if it wasn't for brave young men like Danny,
who take on the risks of experimental surgery
and pave the way for all those who follow.
- Is the camera here yet? - Yeah.
Close in tight. I smell an Emmy.
Hi, Danny. Hey, thanks for taking our interview today.
- How are you doing? - Good. Fine.
Danny, why don't you take a walk down the street, or throw a ball, or something?
Yeah, I have to turn it on first...
No, no, no. The kid's not going to do any action without a contract. Okay, people?
I'm sorry. Who are you?
I'm Lorenzo Waldesakee. I'm his brother and his manager.
And I run Lorenzo's Limos.
If any of you people want the ride of a lifetime, just call Lorenzo's...
(GASPING)
(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)
WOMAN: Are you okay? LARRY: Call an ambulance!
DR PERKINS: We gave it our best shot.
But it's obviously affecting his brain, and we can't take any chances.
So the prosthesis must come out first thing tomorrow.
Now, there is a chance that the prosthesis might have moved,
so Danny must Iie very still.
And he must not use those glasses any more.
REPORTER: "Hi, Danny." Hey, thanks for taking our interview today.
Leeza.
The Bhats are gonna be here any minute.
Leeza. Leeza.
- Danny! Call an ambulance! - WOMAN: "Are you okay?"
Danny, how are you doing?
Pretty good.
Got another headache?
Don't know if it's another one or the same one that hasn't gone away.
It's more than just a headache or the operation, ain't it?
It's a girl.
Thought I'd be so busy seeing the world, you know, that I'd forget about her.
(SIGHING) But I just can't get her out of my mind, Pop.
"Tu sol comandi, amor!"
That's what Mimi sings in "La Bohème."
”Love, only you alone guide us!”
I guess you just gotta give it some time.
How much time?
Don't ask me. I only ever loved your mother.
Would’ve waited a thousand years for her.
- To family. - Cheers.
Ooh!
Hope it fits.
ANSWERING MACHINE: "This is Lorenzo's" Limos, the best limo service in town...
Dr Perkins. This is Leeza.
When does the next bus to North Central come?
You're looking at it.
I'm sorry. I had some bad news about a friend.
Well, we mustn't let that stop the festivities.
To wonderful food and beautiful people.
Buddy, here we are. WeIcome to downtown North Central.
Do you know where the Crimson Elephant is?
I've never heard of it. What street is it on?
Wall Street.
Just go right into this courtyard right over here.
About one o’clock. Straight through there, you’ll run right into it.
- Okay. Thank you. - Good luck. Watch your step.
What's the matter with you, kid?
I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
I'm trying to sleep. Get the hell outta here.
Please, do you know where the Crimson Elephant is?
Something's gotta be wrong with you, kid. It's right across the street!
(GROANING)
Is this the Crimson Elephant?
- Yes. - Is Leeza here?
- She's back there. - Ah!
MAN: Are you okay?
- Can I help you? - I need to see Leeza.
- Danny? - Do you know this man?
(SPEAKING HINDI)
LEEZA: Danny?
Danny. You're not supposed to be here.
Well, I had to see you. It's my last chance to see you.
But it's no good. They're not working anyway.
And it doesn't matter, because I've already seen you.
I've seen your face. I've seen your eyes. I've seen your Iips, your hair.
I've seen everything, and you are beautiful.
- This is not good. - Shh!
Do you remember when you tried to tell me what your family thought about love?
Let me tell you what I think love is.
Love is how you speak to me.
You have a softness in your voice that...
Love is how you touch me, guide me, showing me the way to go.
And when we kiss...
When we kiss...
It moves me to my soul.
(GASPING)
Danny! Danny!
Dad!
It's coming out right now. Right now. Okay.
Hi.
I'm Danny's brother.
Hi.
You know, I'd love it if you'd come and meet my family.
Is that okay?
Come on.
Guys, this is Leeza.
She's Danny's friend.
This is my mother, Lucia, my father, Angelo, and my kid sister, Marie.
Freddy Busoni.
Anna Baldano.
What's that, Danny?
Pappy Nova.
- Who are these people, Danny? - Kids in my first-grade class.
- Why are you calling out their names? - Just checking my childhood memories.
- Good morning, asshole. - Hey!
Good morning, ugly.
We're not like this all the time.
Is Leeza here?
I'm right here, Danny.
- She is so beautiful! - She's wearing a curtain.
- Hey! - What?
So I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry
about what I said the other day, you know, about you choosing
the other guy 'cause I'm blind. I mean, that came out of a total...
It's okay, it's okay.
You know, I'm also sorry that you spIit up with him
and that you’ll probably never see him again.
- I'm not... - Stop.
Stop apologising.
Are you wearing jasmine?
DANNY: "So, like I said," things are going pretty well for me.
Leeza and I are finding out about each other and our different cultures,
and so are our families.
- DANNY: Wait, what's this? - I'm sure you’ll like it.
You think you could do that?
- Maybe. - Oh, my God.
You're like a lily pad in the sunshine.
Larry, Suzie, what's going on?
We're looking at the "Kama Sutra."
Jay, these Indians, they know how to party, man.
Get real.
Watch this.
- Ah! - Ah-ha.
In my life, I've always needed the help of dear friends and dear family.
My brother Larry has been both. He's been my best friend and my brother.
Just as a token of everything he's done for me over the years,
I want to give him this.
- Thank you. I love you, bro. - Love you, too.
Doesn't look like a new limousine.
(All EXCLAIMING)
All right, dance and party, everybody. Come on!
Shake it, there you go!
DANNY: "So I managed the all-time world" record of going blind twice in one lifetime.
But, come on, I got the girl.
Hey! Look out! There's a blind guy driving this train!
Everybody out of the way!
