Finding Amanda Page #7

I've been here

for two days.

I haven't checked

my messages.

I've been dealing

with this family thing.

Yes, in Vegas.

I mean, I have to

hear about it

from f***ing Tony Clark?

What do you mean, have I

been talking to C.A.A.?

This isn't about you.

This is about me getting fired

and me finding the story

buried on page three.

Yeah, I don't rate

the f***in' cover?

You know, maybe I should

be talking to C.A.A., Johnny.

How about that?

Yeah, f***--

Sh*t.

- Here you go.

- Smells delicious.

Thank you. I made

the sauce from scratch.

Baby-- iPod.

- What? What?

- Off. Off.

And please put

your napkin on your lap.

Thank you. It's actually

not really from scratch.

It's from a jar, but I added

some extra stuff of my own.

I thought we were

having chicken?

We are, but this

is the first course.

We're being fancy

tonight, baby.

- I want chicken.

- It's coming.

Eat your pasta.

This is fun.

We should have people

over more often.

What's that

supposed to mean?

Nothing.

You told her.

You f***!

What are you

talking about?

Thanks a lot,

a**hole.

- I didn't tell her anything.

- Oh, yeah?

I didn't.

Pasta looks good.

What do you think

he told me?

Nothing.

Greg.

- Greg?

- I'm eating here.

Can't you see that?

Jesus, I had a rough day at school.

All I want to do

is eat my dinner

without people jumping

all over my ass.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Why are you such a nagging

b*tch all the time?

- He had a girl in the house.

- F*** you.

- When?

- Yesterday.

You were up

in the bathroom.

Big news.

She knows.

I told him about our deal.

He thinks he's busting my balls.

Go ahead, ask her.

She doesn't f***in' care, dude.

That's right.

I-- I don't care,

unless the girl

was inside my home.

Greg, you know

the rules!

It's my home too.

You said.

No, this place

is sacred.

Yeah, sacred.

What am I supposed to do?

Some chick wants to do me, I'm supposed

to say we have to go to her place

because I'm not allowed to

screw chicks in my own home?

I mean, how do you think

that makes me feel?

Why don't you just

cut my balls off?

- Use this.

- F*** you.

Don't talk

to my uncle like that.

You're taking his side on this?

F*** you too then!

I mean, come on, baby.

We had a good thing going here.

This guy shows up and

it's nothing but trouble.

Okay, um, can we

please

just talk about

something else?

I just would like

to have a nice dinner.

Let's just change

the subject.

Fine.

She had her shoes on

in the house.

Greg, damn it!

You know what?

F*** this. Here.

You happy?

- What's the matter with you?

- What's the matter with me?

My f***in' dinner's ruined.

That's what's the matter with me.

I didn't even get to

eat my chicken.

You know what?

F***in' keep your chicken. I'm done.

Oh my God! No no, don't get up,

don't get up. It'll get on the carpet.

No no no no, baby!

Um, come back, please please.

Greg! I'll get the chicken!

It's too late!

Um, I'm sorry.

So much for

my fancy dinner.

I'll go get

some paper towels.

You f*** this up for me

and I'll kill you!

What are you gonna do?

Refrigerate me to death?

Oh.

Oh, sh*t.

We must do dinner again.

Warn me.

I'll wear my best tarp.

I'm sorry about Greg.

He's just

really sensitive.

I got that when

he threatened to kill me.

Why are you

with that a**hole?

Well, you know how you have

this image in your head

of the perfect person

for you?

I met Greg,

and he was

my mental perfect

image come to life.

Emphasis on the "mental."

You do realize he's

not at all perfect?

When you change out that lamp,

you might want to take him along.

What can I say?

He-- he looks right.

You know? So maybe

if I keep loving him,

then he'll be right.

Do you want to gamble?

Let's go gamble. You can

win me some big money.

Okay, I'll go and change

out of these clothes.

Okay.

Well, hurry.

I'll wait here.

I got the fever.

- Sir?

- A little one.

I'll get it.

Bless you.

60, 20...

How you liking

that recovery break?

It's been great.

But I've decided I'm going

right back to recovery

- right after my next drink.

Oh.

I gotta make a call.

Okay, but come

right back.

We have to talk

about rehab again.

Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t.

- Here you go.

- Oh, could you bring me another one?

Make it a double

because I'm going--

I'm going to quit

drinking right after.

- 'Kay.

- Thank you.

Hey, how's it going,

handsome?

Hey, I am handsome.

Uh, is there any news on

the money from the bank?

I don't want to push

but they're asking.

Oh, yeah, I'm on it.

I called

and they can do a transfer

first thing in the morning.

Excellent.

Thank you, sir.

I can get you better.

What do you mean?

Your little friend?

I can get you one who's

not so trashy.

She's my niece.

I can get you

a better niece.

How about

a black niece?

Uh, naughty little

Asian niece?

"Me so horny."

Hi, there.

- Hi.

- Have a good evening.

- Who's that?

- Some guy.

Hello.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm--

I didn't sleep much--

sleep much last night.

Ah. Ha ha!

That was weird.

Oh my God.

You took the X.

- No.

- Yes, you took it.

No, I did not.

- Then give it back to me.

- I took it.

I took it.

It's great.

It's really great.

Am I talking loud?

Is this too loud,

how I'm talking now?

You know,

you really really

really should take me up

on this offer.

It's $15,000,

but I think it is--

it is so worth it.

'Cause you have to get

your life on the right path.

You do.

It's important.

Or you could just

f*** it.

You're great,

you know?

You are.

I don't think I've ever

told you that before,

but you really are.

You are really really--

you're great.

Yeah?

Would you be saying that

if you weren't so f***ed up?

Oh, it must be hard

being a hooker.

I don't think

I could do it.

I think I would

rather kill myself.

You know...

The first time

I ever did it,

I was here

at this hotel.

These guys came from,

like, Iowa

or someplace like that

for this bachelor party

and me and this other girl

came over to entertain.

And you could just tell that

they'd been talking for months,

like, "Oh, dude, we're

gonna go to Vegas.

We're gonna

get some hookers."

They were horrified.

They just stood there

and stared at us like we

were exhibits at a zoo.

And this one guy, um...

he took me

into the bathroom,

he pushed me down

on my knees

and he stuck

his cock in my mouth.

He came in, like,

two seconds.

And he zipped up,

Walked out.

Didn't say one word

to me.

You know...

It's funny.

When you do

something like that,

It's who you are

for the rest of your life.

You could stop, but...

really, what's the point?

I mean...

you're always gonna

be that girl...

on her knees on

the bathroom floor.

And you know it.

Mmm.

Hello?

Mr. Mendon?

Mmmm.

Hello?

- Yeah?

- Are you okay?

What are you--

what are you doing?

What-- what time is it?

It's 10 to 5:
00.

Why are you--

in the afternoon.

What?

Is it still today?

It's Saturday.
