Christmas Share Page #3

Absolutely.

Geez.

Make yourself at home.

That looks just like Eric

Clapton's Gibson Les Paul.

That is Eric Clapton's

Gibson Les Paul.

Not the Eric Clapton.

Yup, the Eric Clapton.

Wow.

Yeah.

We did a pro-bono ad

campaign for a charity

he was involved in.

(strumming guitar)

Does Sean play?

No, he said he was gonna

take lessons some day

when he had time.

Wait, Sean said

he was a cop.

(laughs)

No, no last time I checked Sean

owned an advertising agency.

Agh.

Well, maybe he

was selling me.

Yeah well, he is pretty

good at what he does.

Apparently.

Well um, if you need anything

you can call Dennis downstairs.

Or you could

call me.

Here is my, um,

my card.

There you go.

Thanks, I probably will.

Good.

Well have a good night.

You too.

(thud)

All right, bye.

(strumming guitar)

Oh yeah,

this is heaven.

(strumming guitar)

It's not so bad.

We can handle this.

It's like an igloo in here.

(clunk)

(playing guitar)

(ringing)

Hey Sean,

you made it in.

How's the country

treatin' ya?

Well not the warmest

welcome so far,

I don't think your

heater works.

Ah, it works; it's

just a bit finicky.

Man, I'm sorry; I've been

meaning to get it fixed.

Grab those pliers and

the matches there

and we'll work on

gettin' the pilot lit.

Okay, I'm ready,

talk to me.

Okay reach in behind and give

the J-valve a quarter turn

to the left, while you push

in the pilot light button.

Oh and give it about a minute

to clear the residual gas--

Residual gas? How do I

know it's cleared away?

I don't wanna blow myself up,

I just got here.

Hang on, I think I

heard a car pull up.

Oh that should be Ryan

coming by to check on you.

So tell me about

Mia, is she single?

No, but judging from the guys

she's with, she should be.

All right.

Well listen, uh, Ryan's gonna

take care of everything.

Great.

Thanks a lot.

I'll talk to you later.

(knocking)

Hi, I'm Ryan.

You're Ryan?

Oh, I was expecting...

A guy.

Sorry to disappoint.

No, no, uh, not at all.

Hi, I'm Sean.

Owen wanted me

to check on you

and make sure that you

were settled in okay.

You New Yorkers

sure like it cold.

It's freezing in here.

Yeah very funny.

The matches and the

pliers still over there?

Yeah.

You'd never know that

Owen repairs these

and almost everything

else for a living.

Really?

Yeah, he fixes everybody's

problems but his own.

Oh careful there

may be residual gas.

I think I'll be all right.

(clunk, clunk)

(gas running)

(text tone)

Oh.

You're a miracle worker.

I have to go,

but tell you what.

I'll stop by in the morning and

fix that valve for you properly.

You will?

That would be great.

See you tomorrow.

Did you do that?

(honking)

(ding)

Hello.

Yeah.

Have a good

night miss.

You sent it

to my email?

Okay, I'll check

right now.

Bye.

(chuckling)

Loving the

city so far?

You have no idea.

I see you've

met Halo.

Halo?

Like an angel?

Yeah.

Angel/model/waitress.

(laughs)

You're in the city.

That women.

Definite multi-hyphenate.

Good to know.

What can I

help you with?

Where's a good

place to eat?

Best sushi in New York

just around the corner.

Euhnn, somethin' more hearty.

Yeah well then

don't go there.

Go to BeBe's two blocks up,

get yourself a burger.

It's very popular

with our tenants.

Thanks Dennis, you're

like my New York guru.

It's my job sir.

All right.

Do you remember when the

trains were all late,

That day when you

lost your cap.

The leaves were blowin'

down the alley.

Hey.

We meet again.

Hey!

Yeah, we do.

Um, this is my

favorite hang out.

Dennis must of told you

about it. Have a seat.

Oh yeah,

Dennis my guru.

Any recommendations?

Oh yeah.

Burgers are the best.

I'll have a cheeseburger

with fries.

Thank you.

So, what made you

wanna house share?

Just wanted to

try something new.

Mmm.

Relationship fall apart

like it did for Sean?

No, not at all.

You're a terrible liar.

Okay, I just found

out my ex got engaged.

We broke up 8 months ago

after 7 years together.

I was hoping to

get back together,

but I should've known

that would not happen.

Girls never

want nice guys.

Okay. Who took you

aside as a little boy

and filled your head

with that garbage.

Nobody, but it's true.

I did everything for

her and what happens,

I get dumped.

Oh okay, so just because

you help someone out,

or compliment them, or are

nice to them then they're

obligated to give you what

you want or be who you want?

What's nice

about that?

Well nothing when you

put it like that.

I guess we had different

ideas about the relationship.

Well when you project your

fantasy onto someone

you only set yourself

up for disappointment.

And you prove that

you're selfish.

Again, it's not so nice.

Wow.

You New Yorkers are not

afraid to speak your mind.

I'm sorry to be blunt, I

always hear the song and dance

and I think it's unfair to

women, that's all.

Well, you're right.

I never realized I lived

in a fantasy world.

But I am a nice guy,

that is real.

There is a sweetness

about you.

My sister says a good breakup

will allow me to sing from

real pain and help my career

as a singer. So who knows,

maybe fate had a hand in

leading me here to New York.

You sing? You know I can

see that you have a nice

little twang

in your voice.

Why thank you.

(laughs)

You know what, I know

this great open mic bar.

We should head down

there tomorrow night

and you can show

off your chops.

Oh wait a minute, tomorrow

night is all Christmas songs.

I love Christmas.

I love Christmas songs.

You gonna sing too?

Oh... (laughs)

No, I-- I sing with

a lot of passion,

just not a lot

of talent,

so it's probably better

I just cheer you on.

So um, how's your

singing career going?

I made a demo and perform

every now and then.

I'll have you know that I am

very famous in my hometown

and loyal to my fan base.

I can't wait to hear you

sing and you never know,

this is a city when dreams come

true and careers are made.

So I've heard.

Thank you.

Thank you for being my

first friend in the city.

I appreciate your insight

and you kindness.

Well, you're welcome and don't

worry because my insight

and kindness don't come with

any obligation on your part.

Good to know.

Mmm mmhmm.

Oh yeah.

Right?

Morning.

Morning.

Some people here would

already call it afternoon.

(laughs)

Almost done, just a

couple more minutes.

Take your time.

Hey. How are you doin'?

Oh, thank you.

Hey Ryan,

who's your friend?

Hey Chappy, this is Sean, he's

visiting from New York City.

Oh yeah,

staying at Owen's.

What can I get you

all started with Ryan?

Uh coffee for me.

You don't have a soy

latte by any chance?

Sorry soy latte's were knocked

out by sweet teas at the Mason

Dixon Line, our coffee

menu's regular or decaf.

Regular.

I'll be right back.

How does he know I'm

staying at Owen's?

It's big news when

Owen swaps his house

with a New Yorker
