AmeriQua Page #5

Synopsis: AmeriQua is the story of a lazy recent graduate, Charlie (Bobby Kennedy), whose rich parents cut him off with a $5000 check and an ultimatum to start a life of independence and responsibility.

if I could--

you know,

if they understood English.

We should try it

now that you guys have

completely f***ed up

our semester.

It's not that bad.

I take a picture.

- Ah.

- But we're not supposed

to be here.

- Yes, I know.

- Carmine, come.

We got a table right here.

It's the best one in the house.

for your kind offer.

But we do have a table reserved

for ourselves, okay?

- I want to stay here.

- Are you serious, dude?

Look, we're fun.

It's cool.

Capisce?

Which way?

about carmine for one minute.

No.

Just choose.

- I mean, here seems all right.

- Yeah.

- And I don't want to start

sick of listening

please don't teach me

something that I have known

I know your words

are full of romance

but it won't change my ways

'cause I'm sure this time

the turtle will not win

the race

- Caffe?

- Mmm.

[Groaning]

- [Giggles]

Buongiorno.

- Good morning.

Did you grow, like a pubic hair

polka dot in one day?

Look--

- no, these?

These are mine. Look.

- Oh, my God.

Put something on.

Christ.

- Charlie, last night

was my greatest success.

We came back here

after the party,

and we shaved everyone.

And then I had

my first menage a six.

And you?

What did you do?

- I was with Valentina.

No, man, she's amazing.

- Valentina.

Well, as long

as you are about to die,

I will wake up the girls

so you can die happy

and with clean balls.

- No, thanks.

I am going to see Vicky.

- But being with Valentina

is not risky enough.

Do you want to make her

jealous too?

- Vicky and I are just friends.

It's, um...

Don't worry about it.

Look, I'm late.

I've got to go.

What the f***

happened to the door?

[Synth-driven pop music]

- Charlie!

Hey.

- Hey.

Excuse me.

- What's up?

- [Grunts]

What, is this,

like, a law school thing?

- No, no.

It's, um,

somebody stole my bike.

It was short-lived,

the pleasure

of that experience.

So I have to get a new one.

This is a bike auction.

[Cheering]

- So probably all these people

have had their bikes stolen,

huh?

- Yeah.

Why, are you getting nervous?

- No, I--you know,

I don't think I'm wanted here.

Why don't we make

a break for it?

- Okay.

- All right?

- When do I get my bike?
