Beth is a hard working career woman whose last relationship says that she puts her work above him so he left her. When he tells her he found another career woman and is willing to stick it out with her and is engaged to her. Beth feels that there is no one for her. And when she goes to Rome to attend her sister's impromptu wedding and after meeting the best man, Nick she's attracted to him but after seeing him with another woman, she gets drunk and goes into the famed Fountain of Love and takes some coins thrown by people looking for love. When she goes back to New York four men start coming onto her. And Nick keeps calling her asking her out. She later learns that what she did--is a no no. It seems legend says that if you take a coins out of the fountain the person who threw it will fall in love with who took the coin. So she has to find a way to break the curse. And she wonders if Nick whom she likes is with her cause he wants to or is he under the spell.

[last lines]


Nick:
I have a question... why do you keep giving me back my poker chips?


Beth:
Because you deserve to have it back. You threw them into the fountain and wished for love, and I don't want to keep it anymore!


Nick:
[looking confused] No I didn't.


Beth:
You didn't?


Nick:
No!


Beth:
Then who did?


Nick:
I have no idea.


Beth:
Then this... is all real?

[Nick starts to answer and then stops himself. He climbs into the fountain with Beth and drops the poker chip in the water]


Nick:
This real enough for you?


Priest:
[falling to his knees at the edge of the plaza] Ay, Dios Mio! Free from temptation! Graci!


Beth:
[watching in amazement as the Priest dashes off] Didn't you say, at Umberto's bachelor party...


Nick:
...the padre cleaned me out at the poker table. Yeah.

Continuity: During the fountain sequence where Beth picks up the coins, she enters with a bottle of champagne in hand. After a drunken speech, she enters the fountain, looks up at the statue and motions that she has her eyes on it holding the bottle in her left hand. The bottle disappears when she turns around and places both hands on her hips. It reappears inexplicably on the edge of the fountain when she starts grabbing coins from the water.
