When he gets off the plane in L.A., Lucky is chatting with the beautiful young wealthy chick.
-Who is picking you up? asks Cassandra flipping her long blond hair to the back.
Lucky stops walking.
-No one actually. I'm here to surprise my dad. My dad is going to be so surprise, I can't wait to see his face.
They continue walking down stairs to the carousel.
Cassandra starts picking up her numerous Louis Vuitton's bags.
Lucky is helping her out.
-He doesn't know, explains Lucky to the rich girl, He doesn't know I am coming. It's going to be a big surprise.
After the fifth suitcase, Lucky finally asks her phone number.
-Do you want to give me your cell number, I can contact you and we could go to the beach together.
-Yes, of course, she says smiling, pulling out the airplane napkin with her number already written on. If you don't have anybody to drive you, I can give you a lift to your dad's place.
She waves at a driver.
-Simon! Always on time. Wonderful to see you. She grabs Lucky by the arm and let Simon the driver pick up the rest of the luggage's and slides in the limo.
They board a nice long stretch limousine.
The driver brings down the tinted window.
-Monsieur, this is your stop.
They are in front of a huge mansion.
They stop kissing each other.
-Perfect! I will text you Cass, thanks a lot, he says getting off the limousine, waving at her goodbye!
-Can't wait to go out in LA with you and rock this town real good!
Arriving at his dad's place, he tucks in his white tux shirt, move his baseball cap in place, and rang the bell.
While he waits, he looks at himself with his Ipod and remove the big red lips trace on his cheek that her new girl friend left him with.
Hangover, Aston Kutcher, his dad, his laying down on the couch and scream:
-Who is it? Hoping not to be bother.
-It's me, your son.
-I don't have a son! Go away! yell his dad. Why does it have to be on the day I fire all my staff.
-Go away! he yells again. I don't have a son.
-Now, you do, open up! Says Lucky crossing his arms.
Curious to see who is at the door pretending to be his son, he finally gets up. He hides himself and peek trough the curtains to see who is at the door.
Shock by the resemblance, he passes his hands in his hair, trouble by this image of him outside the door and goes to the kitchen to get himself an espresso.
While brewing his coffee, he looks at the camera on the counter of the kitchen to really have a good look at this person.
He freaks out, and while he does, he backs up, trips on something and bang his head on the corner of the table while falling down. And to finish him up, a big long bottle of Pure Vodka falls on his face, leaving him with a big scare and an open wound on his front head.
He is laying down on the floor, completely knock out and bleeding tremendously.
The kid tired of waiting, decides to go from the back door, as this is, the only chance left to do something for his life. Determine, to give it a shot as an actor, he jumps off the fence, to try one more time from the back door to see, if he could see Ashton Kutcher, his idol, who could help him, become a famous actor like him.
But to his big surprise, he sees Aston, his idol, on the floor knock out real bad and bleeding profusely.
Since he is a good boy, he call 911 right away.
-Need an ambulance, he demands a bit nervous.
-Where are you calling from?
-Ashton Kutcher's house madame!, hurry up! He is unconscious on the floor.
He looks again at his idol.
-And he his bleeding from the back of his head and has an open wound on his front head too.
-Is he bleeding?
-Yes madam, I just told you.
-Who is calling?
Lucky. I'm Lucky. Kutcher, I mean, my dad, isn't lucky. Hurry up! Do you want him to die?
-Alright, an ambulance is on its way.
-Fine. 911 in California is not too fast, says Lucky a bit furious.
-I think I better go in before he dies.
-Hold on! Stay on the phone. Are you next to him?
-No I can't. He is inside the house. I am outside the house.
-Can you get inside the house kid?
-Let me try, he answers but at the same time ,he hangs up.
He tries to open up the door but without any luck.
-Man! I'm in big shit! They will think, I try to kill him. Shit!
I don't want a career as a prisoner, he says to himself, I want to be an actor!
He looks inside his pocket. He pulls out a number on a napkin. The note says. Call me Myriam.
905 227 8593
He looks at the note and says to himself.
-Not now bad timing, he says to himself. I have to calm down,
He text his mom a quick note:
Hi mom! Hope you had a good flight can't wait to see you when you get back. I have a big news to tell you. Love Lucky.
By the time he goes back to the front door and wait, the ambulance is finally there.
-Where is he?
-inside
-open up kid.
-I don't have the key, you have to go through the back door its easier to open and you can see him
-who are you?
-Man! says the other rescuer. Why are you asking this kid ,who is he? Look at him man! Its Ashton Kutcher son for sure.
-Ya! When you think of it, you pretty much look like him, how come you don't have your key?
-Hurry up! We are loosing precious minutes here. Open up the door! Smash it! It doesn't matter! He has insurance; save him alright! He yell at them.
OK move away I will kick the door I'm black belt karaté. Go move!
Lucky decides to kick off the front door.
The alarm goes on.
Impress the rescuer backs off.
-OK keep it cool now. We are going to save your dad kiddo!
They rescue Aston Kutcher who is still unconscious and while inside, the kids grab his cell phone and his tablet on the kitchen counter and follow the guys in the ambulance.
Arriving at the hospital the kid follows them closely. You could see nurses looking at him talking about him.
-I didn't know Ashton Kutcher had a son?
-Me either.
-That is a good scoop all right.
-He looks so much like him, says the other nurse. I heard he kick the door and save his dad 's life. While she says that, she takes a picture of him with her cell phone and sends it to a friend.
Lucky looks at them and furious says:
-Instead of worry about me you should find out about his medical history and beware that heart condition problems run in our family as well as kidney problems too.
He turns around and leaves.
PART 3
The kids wait outside the door of the emergency, than follow them to his private room.
He sat down next to him.
The doctor arrives.
Looks at him and without hesitation tell the boy what's going on.
-Your dad had a severe concoction but for now he is stable. Where is your mother.
-She is out of town.
-Yes.o.k.
-So maybe you want to call your mother and tell her what happen OK. I have other patient to take care of and don't worry, I will be back. We just need for him to wake up and wait for the xrays results.
-Thank you doctor.
The doctor leaves and closes the door behind him.
Oh my god! I'm in big shit, he tells himself petrify. I hope he wakes up before I have to leave.
What if I kill my favorite actor, man! O man! What Am I going to do?
He sits down on the chair and starts looking at Aston's tablet to see if he had anything plan for his agenda that day.
Oh! What? he says surprise. Cocktail at noon at the X box on rodeo drive. So early during the day.
I can't go. I mean he can't go. I can go, no I could go, but no,
He looks at the actor and looks at him in the mirror...
Hum!
A nurse comes in the room.
-Hi My name is Julia I will be taking care of your dad. You can go back home now. We will take good care of him. Come back later this afternoon. He will be in better shape to talk to you.
Aston opens one eye without anyone noticing and stairs at the kid again. Closes and opens, closes and opens and bit his lower lip and leaves his eyes close.
Oh my God! What have I done and with whom?, he ask himself.
-OK I will be back, says Lucky.
He leaves.
He comes back.
-Oh! I forgot my dad's agenda. He grabs Aston phone and leaves.
Comes back again.
-Dad, he holds Ashton Kutcher's hand. ( ok. lets pretend I am in general hospital playing Lucky 's role says Lucky to himself) (I am an actor yes or no) (Yes)
-Dad, my dear dad, he whisper gently to his ears.
He takes a big breath pause and continue.
The nurse looks at him.
-Do you mind leaving us for a few minutes.
-No. No problem said the beautiful young nurse.(who happen to be friend with the girl he met on board the plane)
She gets out the room and text her friend telling her she just met with Ashton Kutcher's son he is gorgeous and all...
Aston open his eyes without Lucky noticing it and closes them rapidly. Uncomfortable, he listens to what he has to say.
-Dad, I really hope you will be fine. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. This is not how I expected to meet with you. In a hospital, next to your bed, holding your hand, hoping you will get better. No. Not at all.
He backs up.
Than get closer and takes his hands back.
-Yes dad, hopefully we will have more years ahead of us so we can know each other better. Now take care I have got to go. You have a full agenda today and I will fill in for you. No one will notice. Trust me. I want to become an actor just like you. So, that will be easy for me. You can take care of yourself and enjoy the nice nurses, while I take care of business for you.
Ashton tells himself ( that is so me oh my god! He is me a little me tall me oh no its real, I'm not dreaming.
-Ciao papa!
He let go his hand, waves at him goodbye before closing the door.
-Yes|. I did good
-Everything is all right, asks the pretty nurse.
-Yes. I think he will be fine. Just give him more morphine. He told me, he was in deep pain.
He is a tough dud you know, so give him a good dose alright..
PART 4
He stands outside the hospital. Looking at the Hollywood sign in the back.
-Great! Now, what? He says crossing his arms.
He looks at the cells and check out the address of the bar.
An old lady gets out of the hospital.
-Do you need help young man? I do.
Lucky turns around and looks at her.
-Oh! my god, says Lucky to himself. This is one of the Granny's in...that old show...I can not believe my eyes this is Betty Whites! The world record actress with the longest career ever. I don't believe my eyes. I wish I have the same career as her.
He stairs at her with his mouth open without answering.
She looks at him.
-Something wrong? Young man. You never saw an old lady before.
-Hum! Yes madam. I have. I have a great grand mother, you know. She is as pretty as you.
-Oh so flattering Ashton. No wonder, you didn't stay with Demi. Come on! Why don't you help me. I brought in my lover....
Lucky stairs at her with his eyes wide open.
-Lover! He says smiling.
-Yes. While we were driving, he suddenly didn't feel good at all, so we manage to get here so he could see a doctor but now they kept him up for further investigation. His heart perhaps, is the concern. So, they have to do a battery of tests all day. I'm stuck with the car but I don't drive. You ,wouldn't mind. She pauses. You wouldn't mind, young man, driving me home. I don't want to bother my family and let everyone know about him just yet.
-Perfect! He says without any hesitation. Who wouldn't want to be with such an incredible actress like you and so good looking. I mean. I 'm the lucky one. Yes it will be an honour to drive you Miss Betty White. I have no problem with that but I have to go meet some friends at the X Box on rodeo drive for a cocktail, I will not stay very long do you want to join us.
-Oh! I sure do need a drink too. Great!
People in Hollywood sure drink early here, he told himself.
She let her key to the valet parking of the private hospital and ask him to get her car.
During that time Lucky text the girls at the bar to order some Cristal while waiting for him that he will get there eventually.
When he raises his head to see the car, he was shock to see a huge Bentley in the driveway.
-Mon Dieu! He exclaims.
-You speak very good French, she says laughing getting in the car.
-Well! Its for my new part. It's called: Me, the French boy, he says with his French accent, Me with a prestigious Hollywood icone. He takes his Ipod, get closer to Betty White and with his face close to her face, he takes a picture.
-This will be for our movie poster, charming her with his French accent.
-Now. Let get serious Miss White. I never driven a Bentley before.
-Its like any other car.
-Well that goes for that too. I just receive my drivers license a few days ago.
-Ah! Ah! Ah! You are funny Ashton.
- I have been watching you , learning everything I need to know to be a good actor.
But let's be serious. Its true, I just got my drivers license not too long! He answers getting behind the wheels of the Bentley.
-You are better than me. I don't have a drivers license. So go on young man, just put in the info's on the GPS and drive. I really need a drink. Imagine, if I loose him it will be my fifth husband. It wouldn't look too good. I'm 91 years old, I don't want to be looking for another boy friend again at my age.
-Ah! You are hot chick Miss Betty. You wouldn't have any problem to find someone.
He starts the car and looks at Betty:
- I hope you have insurance
- Oh yeah! I do. Plenty.
-Great if anything happen to this car I don't want to be responsible.
-Ah! Ah! Ah! I thought you were talking about Stanley
She buckles her seat belt and looks at him putting his shades on.
-You sure do look good Ashton maybe I will trade Stanley for a younger good looking guy like you.
-Yes! I would last too long for you, and remember I'm a charmer.
-I like that.
Lucky was not driving too fast not to damage the car and also to make sure the other ones at the bar were a bit tipsy so they wouldn't notice he was not Ashton and that he was way younger than him.
PART 5
Lucky park the car and rush out to open Betty's door.
-Oh! I was lucky, I met you at the hospital, she says all smile. It's been a while someone open the door for me. Stanley had stop doing this years ago.
-I am very Lucky to have met you as well my dear. He grabs her under the arm and starts walking.
-I am so happy today. Come in, my dear one, he says opening the door to the bar.
-Oh my, its so dark here.
-Perfect place for wrinkles hide out, he says talking down in her ears.
-I like that.
-Oh There he is! Screams one of the girls waiting for Ashton.
-Hi! Ashton! Over here!
Who is she next to Ashton?
-Betty you know, the old fart, that plays in the golden girls.

-Betty. I was there for a very serious matter and at this particular time, I need you to respect my privacy when the time is right, ma chérie, I will tell you all about it. Right now, lets pretend, I was there for a vasectomy!
She starts laughing.
-Aston you are so funny, for a minute, I though it was true.
-Yes, Betty. I'm that good. I wish I will be good for the rest of my life like you were. How can someone like you, Betty, stay so good for ever on every single role you have.
-I don't know. I guess you have to stay yourself. Playing in Hot in Clevelands keeps me young too. Laughing keeps you young.
They pull in the driveway of the Universal studio.

While he settle in the room watching him sleep. Aston in the other hand takes a good look at him sitting next to him.
Lucky is texting his mom and his grand mother.
But Aston is not saying anything always pretending he is knock out from the medications.
He observes this young man attentively. Thinking for sure, he is his son. He looks too much like him.
But Lucky is just a boy who wants to become an actor like his idol.
After the visit hour, Lucky droves back Betty to her mansion.
She invites him over not to stay alone to night.
-You could stay here for the night and we could watch an old episode of me.
I don't really like to be alone tonight and you could stay in one of my numerous guess bedrooms.
Lucky has so much fun with Betty that he decideds to spend the week there.
-I need to skype my grand-ma.
-No problem. Let'S say Hello to your grand-ma.
-Really. She won't believe her eyes when she sees you next to me.

He swims at the huge pool. Take acting lesson from Betty who always pulls out a script from her library when he comes out the pool to practice a part while she fixes him a sandwich.
She enjoys his company very much.
They laugh together.
He is a good kid.
She went out one night to meet the girls of Hot in Clevelands for dinner. They had a good time together. He made all the girl dance. Betty takes him to a big star event with her because Stanley is still at the hospital and she needs someone to go with him.
She gives him tips on how to get that girl Cassandra. It reminds her of all the lovers she had and flirt with...
They are just having a great time.
Someone to listen to all her beautiful roles she played.
One night when they go see their patient at the hospital Betty closes the door of the room and talk to the doctor.
- He is suffering you know perhaps you should consider giving him more
morphine or something to relieves his pain.
- Yes I look into it Miss White.
On the other floor, Julia the nurse enter Ashton room.
-Hi! Lucky shes says, not taking care of Ashton.
Aston mumble some noise to have her attention.
Lucky turns around.
I think he is in pain.
Oh! Yes Lucky. You should have been a doctor, says the nurse all eyes for Lucky.
Ashton mumble again.
Lucky looks at him and saw him face to face for the first time.

-Your dad send you there. How strange.
-Nothing strange than sending your kid to the best school, says Ashton to take his defence. Can you hurry up miis my back hurt.
-Yes sir. I'm almost finish.
She grabs the dirty sheet and leaves.
-Bye Lucky.
Lucky smile at him.
Quite interested to know more about him, Ashton listen to him very careful and impress by his new son.
(Meanwhile Ashton is practicing with him his facial expression during his stay at the hospital. Lucky tries to figure out what Aston is asking him without talking to him. ( Harold et Hardy silent movie gesture...)
PART 12
(They start talking at the hospital....
Lucky needs to figure out a good story to tell him...)
But he has hardly anytime left he follows Ashton agenda and on with Betty he goes to play his different parts. She does his make up so he could look a tiny bit older, fix him up with clothes and practice their part on their way to the commercial or plays. Even the agent doesn't see the difference.
PART 13
At the end when he drives Aston back to his house, he tells Betty the truth while Ashton sleeps in the back of the car.
-You never had a vasectomy, she says. I taught you were a bit too young for that and you had a god dam good facial cream or done some great botox.
It made me old from looking at you but young by being with you, I am having a great time with you. You were very kind with me. Taking care of me while my lover Stanley is at the hospital, Cooking me dinner, dancing, swimming, playing scrabble, ping pong...This was fun Ashton. What's your real name by the way?
Lucky. Lucky Chagnon.
Your grandma will be jealous at me for sure.
Betty decides to go in the house with him and makes sure he plays the parts right in order to get his first acting part in Hollywood. She has taught him everything she knows and all he has to do his play it good. After spending a long moment in the car they finally goes in.
They explain to Ashton what happened.
he starts telling him that her mother her single mother raise him all by himself, even tho he was very sick with heart problem and kidney failure.
Ashton sits back shock to hear that. Just like his story with his twin brother almost. That couldn't make any sense. ..........This was so true......
Betty was looking at him almost tears to her eyes from listening to his story.
Lucky was really good but also he was telling the truth about his condition too.
.....
At the same time someone rang the bells
Lucky's mom is there looking for his son.
Ashton looks at his mom but his mom doesn't know what is going on. So Aston hurries up to ask his mom her version of the story.
Thinking, lets hear it from her now and get red of all of them but her version is not quite the same, so Betty decides to tell them the truth that this young man is gifted and has potential in becoming a great actor and they should give him a chance. She offers him to have a special tutor at home for his math and he could stay during the summer doing small parts here and there giving the mother a chance to get by and Aston to see how capable Lucky is as an actor.
Great deal great turn out.
This was an opportunity of a life time for a kid who deserve a chance!
It will be great if Steve Martin, Ashton Kutcher and the staff of Hot in Cleveland could produce this enjoyable, memorable, funny movie with me of course!
For Betty White an amazing actress.
.For Lucky my godson who suffer from kidney and heart failure.
And of courseh for me so I can pay my bills and spend my vacations with my feet in the sand before the cold Canadian winters.
Perhaps we could donate a certain amount of this movie to provide a few ill patients to have treatment at home instead of a daily visit to the hospital for dialyses.
