Born Guilty Page #6

---

Vindication.

Can thank my parents

for that one.

I started to feel my thoughts,

actions mimicking them.

It terrified me.

I thought I'd end up like

them, just abusive and bitter.

- I can't imagine you ever

being abusive and bitter.

I want to hear your

stories, stuff you've seen.

- (LAUGHS) I see a lot of

tragedy, pain, and sorrow.

- You have a choice.

I could choose to

see good or bad.

Choose to see the good

and life can be good.

- You dropped her off in a cab

when the sun was coming up?

Phenomenal!

Rawl, you f***ing Casanova!

- Don't mislead yourself, Marty.

We merely engaged on a

profound conversational level.

I have no romantic interest.

I made that clear.

- Right, right.

I'm just saying it's great,

you guys are getting along.

- Well, Judy's a good person.

She just has a few life issues.

- Yeah, and I'm one of them.

- I plan to take out

Judith on the town.

- Yeah, go for it,

you have my card.

Holy f***ing home run!

- Are the Dodgers playing?

- Summer.

Just a few things for

your nephew, right?

No distractions.

You know, we need to hone

the no role models concept

into a reason to let

Midway invest your money.

It can't just be a diatribe

about the state of affairs.

- Yeah, it should be both.

More fun, less glum.

- Yes.

So let's brainstorm

this b*tch now.

- Right on.

Oh, your buddy Rawl called,

said something about your

Aunt Judith canceling

on their date and not

wanting to see him again?

Marty?

What's that about?

Is that talking about your mom?

- No, just give me

a minute, please.

Rupert.

- Yeah.

- I need to talk to Rawl.

Well, untangle him out

of his lotus position.

- [RUPERT] Take a deep

breath, bud, he's right here.

Hold on.

- [MARTY] What the

f***'s going on?

- Marty?

- [MARTY] Yeah!

- I got her asking what time

she wanted me to pick her up.

She said never and told me

to never call her again.

- She's just freaked

out, you know,

because it's been a while since

Aunt Judy had a new friend,

so just call her back.

Call her back and be insistent.

- Marty, I swore I'd

never impose my will

on anybody ever again.

- Come on.

Just call her back, right?

Do something big,

something romantic.

- I'm sorry, Marty, okay?

I understand if our

deal is now void.

- Come on.

You f***ing tofu-eating p*ssy!

- Marty, I can't force myself

on her like a salesman.

- Oh, BS, B f***ing S, man.

And this is a healing

mission, remember?

Why'd you call my office,

why didn't you call my cell?

You're running

scared, rambling man.

I mean, what are you gonna do?

What, are you just

gonna go and medicate.

Oops, I mean meditate

your life away?

- What do you want me to do?

Bang down her door?

- Come on, man, if you

give up, if you give up

Don't send me a postcard.

- Postcards?

Who writes those anymore?

Where do they even

sell postcards?

It's weird.

- Hey.

(SNAPS) Are we gonna

brainstorm this b*tch or what?

- What time's the

presentation again tomorrow?

- 9:
00 a.m.

- F***, I gotta get out

of here, I gotta go.

I'll be back.

Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

- Not without me, you don't.

- Judith!

Judith!

Hey!

It's beautiful out here!

Need a lift?

Come on.

- What?

You've come for me?

- Yes.

I want to learn the world

It's not the same anymore

We can be friends

I love you, I can't pretend

- [RAWL] Wow!

I can finally start again

You make my heart mend

- The city has never

felt this intimate.

I feel like I'm

on a magic carpet.

It was you

It was you and

now I'm a fool

- Why were you afraid to see me?

- You remind me of a

man I gave my heart to.

Young, idealistic Gordon.

I ran from him straight into

the arms of my ex-husband.

- I know the feeling.

- I know you do.

(KISSING)

It was you, it was

you and now I'm a fool

It was you, it was you

It was you

and now I'm a fool

(LAUGHS)

- [SUMMER] Oh yeah.

This is what I'm talking about.

- [MARTY] I've never

had it so good.

- [SUMMER] Marty, take

your fingers out of there.

Don't you want the real thing?

- [MARTY] I mean,

it's so delicious.

Your mother taught you right.

- [SUMMER] When

it comes to this,

there isn't anything my

mother didn't teach me.

- [MARTY] You want this.

(PHONE RINGING)

Oh sh*t.

- [SUMMER] Are you

gonna answer the phone

or are you gonna give it to me?

- Hello?

- [LESLIE] Hey, Marty!

- Hey.

- [LESLIE] What you doing?

- I am home,

cooking up some ideas

for the Midway proposal.

- [LESLIE] Are you with anyone?

- Am I

Am I with anybody?

What kind of question is

that, am I with anybody?

Why would I be with anybody?

I'm with God, right?

- [LESLIE] Well, are you, Marty?

- No, I'm here alone, working.

- [LESLIE] Where?

Where are you working?

- Where?

I'm at my easel.

I mean, meter maids aren't

gonna pay for

first class tickets to Hawaii

baby. Daddy got to do his thing.

- [LESLIE] Prove it.

I want to hear your

computer make some noise.

- Computer noise?

Come on, baby, you

don't trust me?

- [LESLIE] I want to

hear some noise, Marty!

(CLICKING)

Well, even if you're

at the computer,

doesn't mean that you're alone.

Okay, I want to hear you scream

from the top of your lungs

that you love me.

- Babe, I mean, isn't

this just a little silly?

- [LESLIE] Who's there?

- I love you!

- [LESLIE] Again.

- I love you, I love

you, love you, love you!

F***!

- B*tch

- It's okay, it's okay.

- Oh my god!

(SHOUTING)

- Summer, get out of here.

Summer.

Get out.

Stop it, stop it, just get out.

(SMACKS)

- You look like a million pesos.

What happened after

I left last night?

- Well, the good news is I

made up with her at 5:00 a.m.

And the bad news is she

says I have to fire you.

- Ha!

That's funny.

You're lucky I

don't sue your ass.

Okay, they're all

waiting in there for you.

I told them that you

were polishing stats.

You do have stats?

That's what I thought.

Thank god I looked

them up for you.

Shall we?

- Hey, guys.

Sorry I'm late, I was just

- Oh!

Marty.

- I got it, I got it.

Start talking, say

something, say something.

- Mr. Milk, hello.

Can I get anybody any drinks?

- Summer, please, take a seat.

Marty, we have all seen

great work from you

in the juvenile division.

- Thanks, Lee.

- What do you propose for the

Midway Investment account?

- Well, you know, Midway, right?

Midway Investment Firm,

Midway Investors, Midway.

Who is the Midway investor?

You know, I don't know, right?

Who the hell are these a**holes?

- You're talking

to one right here.

- I'll be right back.

- Oh.

Maybe we got the

wrong guy for this.

- No, Marty is absolutely

the right guy for this.

I mean, he has some really

advanced angles on this thing.

- Hey, everyone!

I got some toys, guys.

Playtime, everyone.

Everyone play.

What's the matter?

You've forgotten how to play?

Look, we're trying to have a

sophisticated meeting here,

now back in the 80s when

the dudes and dudettes

that Midway's trying to target,

when they were primetime
