Beach Pillows Page #6

Synopsis: Once-promising writer Morgan Midwood works at his father's furniture store to save up enough money to buy an engagement ring for his high school sweetheart and presumed saving grace. However, when he discovers she's been making a cuckold of him, he enters a tailspin-getting arrested, evicted, and fired in short order-and seems content to move home with his parents and embrace a life of anonymity and failed promise. At the same time, Morgan's carefree, underachieving best friend Nick, who has arguably exacerbated Morgan's troubles, finally decides to take some stock in his own life, championing a revolutionary piece of furnishing for sale in Morgan's father's store. Over the course of a Long Island summer full of love, laughs, heartbreak, and self-discovery, these two friends ride a violent and hilarious wave teeming with women, family, cops, and cons, hoping not to get swallowed under.

NO, LISTEN, I-I WEN INTO THE WRONG APARTMENT.

I WAS WAITING FOR CAMPBELL.

I MEAN, THE GUY WAS A MADMAN.

TRYING TO PROTECT HIS KIDS.

I WASN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO...

- MEN USE THEIR HANDS...

YEAH, WELL, I THINK

WE JUST SHOULD PONDER INSANITY

FOR THE TIME BEING, SHALL WE?

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

OKAY, BRING IT ON IN!

I DIDN'T HEAR FROM YOU

YESTERDAY.

JUST WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU KNOW,

IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER

IF YOU STILL HAD A CELLPHONE,

BUT I GUESS THAT GOES AGAINS YOUR WHOLE MONASTIC SENSIBILITY

OR WHATEVER.

SO, YOUR CAR'S

OUTSIDE MY PLACE.

WERE YOU IN JAIL?

FORGET IT.

JUST CALL ME BACK.

[BEEP]

[SIGHS]

OKAY, RELAX.

I'M NOT ON IT.

JUST LET ME IN HERE.

"MIDWOOD FURNISHING...

NOT BAD, RIGHT?

SCHOOL'S NOT GONNA BILL ME

FOR THIS, ARE THEY?

I DON'T THINK SO.

NOW I WANT TO GOOSE SOMEBODY.

HOW DO I...

IN MY BED?

I WOULD ASSUME SLEEPING.

HE SEEMED REALLY TIRED,

POOR BOY.

POOR BOY?

HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN HERE?

ALL AFTERNOON,

BUT HE'S JUST BEEN UPSTAIRS.

OKAY, IS THERE A REASON

WHY HE'S HERE?

APPARENTLY, VERONICA'S

NEW BOYFRIEND STARTED YELLING.

HE WAS DOING DRUGS.

IT'S UNFAIR WHAT SOME PEOPLE

PUT THEIR KIDS THROUGH.

- OH.

- DINNER!

- [DOG BARKS]

- WOW.

MY MOM AND THIS F***ING A**HOLE

BOYFRIEND OF HERS COME HOME,

FIND ME LYING ON THE FLOOR

IN MY UNDIES, COVERED IN BLOOD,

WITH A GRAVITY BONG IN THE SINK.

THIS MOTHERF***ER'S

SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCTOR.

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS.

F***ING QUACK THINKS

I'M SMOKING METH OR SOMETHING.

[CHUCKLES]

F***ING BASTARD PRESCRIBES

PRESCRIPTION PILLS ALL DAY LONG,

PEDDLES THEM OUT, RIGHT?

GETS PAID HANDSOMELY FOR IT,

REVERED BY ALL,

YET I GET KICKED OU FOR EMPLOYING A NATURAL HIGH,

SELF-MEDICATING.

I'M TAKING BUSINESS AWAY

FROM THIS MOTHERF***ER.

THAT'S THE ONLY REASON HE EVEN

F***ING CARES ABOUT THIS SH*T.

HIPPOCRATIC OATH, INDEED.

[DOG BARKS]

HEY!

- HEY, MORGAN!

- YEAH?

NOW I'M IN A TOUGH SPOT,

AND YOU'RE WALKING AWAY.

YOU'RE...

YOU'RE IN A TOUGH SPO FOR THE SAME REASON

THAT I'M IN A TOUGH SPOT...

'CAUSE YOU'RE A F***ING IDIOT.

DON'T F***ING CALL ME THAT.

- I MEAN, YOU WERE GETTING HIGH.

- YEAH, IS THAT AGAINST THE LAW?

[Laughing] YES.

YES, IT IS, F***ING IDIOT!

YEAH, WELL, IT SHOULDN'T BE,

SO DON'T F***ING THROW STONES,

ALL RIGHT?!

YOU KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE

AGAINST THE LAW?

SOMEONE WHO'S GOT EVERYTHING...

A FAMILY WHO LOVES THEM,

FRIENDS, A DEGREE, HIS HEALTH...

SOMEONE LIKE THA WHO MOPES AROUND ALL THE TIME

LIKE HE'S GOT F***ING CANCER.

THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'M RIGHT.

AND MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH

A SAD SACK OF SH*T ALL THE TIME,

KARLA WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN F***ING

CAMPBELL FOR THE LAST MONTH...

AND A HALF.

DO IT.

COME ON, DO IT!

YOU F***ING P*SSY.

COME ON!

DO F***ING SOMETHING, MORGAN.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

SO, THE PILLOW IS ACTUALLY

WRAPPED IN A TOWEL?

COMPLETELY ENCASED, SIR.

WHICH MEANS YOU CAN CLEAN IT.

YES. IT'S REMOVABLE.

LIKE A PILLOWCASE?

KIND OF BUT WITH BUTTONS,

VELCRO,

POSSIBLY LACES:

TO KEEP OUT THE SAND...

WHICHEVER YOU PREFER, REALLY.

IT'S BRILLIANT.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW "BRILLIANT."

[CHUCKLES]

NO, IT'S A NEW

AND REVOLUTIONARY IDEA.

IT'S LIKE WHAT EINSTEIN SAID.

HE SAID, "I ONLY HAD ONE OR TWO

GOOD IDEAS MY ENTIRE LIFE.

THE REST IS PERSISTENCE."

AND THEN WHAT DID HE DO?

HE BLEW UP THE ENTIRE WORLD.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO, US

TOGETHER... BLOW UP THE WORLD.

THAT'S NICE OF YOU TO SAY.

NOW, TYPICALLY, I KEEP TO THE

INTERIOR SIDE OF THE BUSINESS,

BUT THIS BEACH PILLOW...

I MEAN, IT WILL BRING US

IN A NEW AND EXCITING DIRECTION.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE'S LIVES

MORE COMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW?

SO, THIS IS WHAT YOU TWO

HAVE BEEN WORKING ON?

HERE.

BLESS US, O LORD,

AND THESE THY GIFTS,

WHICH WE ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE

FROM THY BOUNTY,

THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD. AMEN.

I'M HAVING TROUBLE SEEING

THE DOWNSIDE, HERE, PAL.

THEN AGAIN, THAT'S NEVER

REALLY BEEN MY STRONG SUIT.

[CHUCKLES]

GO F*** YOURSELF.

THAT'S PARTICULARLY HARD

FOR ME TO DO, MORGAN,

BECAUSE I THINK THIS COULD

BE HUGE FOR BOTH OF US, MAN.

DUDE, I HAVE NO INTENTION

OF LEAVING YOU OUT IN THE COLD

ON THIS.

AND GIVEN THE RELATIONSHIP

ME AND YOUR DAD HAVE DEVELOPED,

I CAN GET YOU BACK ON THE STAFF

IN NO TIME, YOU KNOW?

I'M SORRY I DIDN' TELL YOU ABOUT KARLA.

IT MADE ME SICK.
