From Justin to Kelly Page #4

Synopsis: Spring break in Miami is the scene. It's where surf-drenched guys cruise girls in bikinis and raucous parties rule day and night. It's the perfect time and place for three young women from Texas and a trio of college guys from Pennsylvania to find adventure and maybe even fall in love. In a Texas dive bar, Kelly is singing her heart out to a few local yokels when her best friends Kaya and Alexa try and tempt her away for some fun in the Florida sun. It's an easy sell--even for the cautious Kelly - and the three head for Miami. Making their way to the same destination is the "Pennsylvania Posse": college students Justin, Brandon, and Eddie. Justin and Brandon are smooth-talking party promoters, while Eddie's primed to meet Lizzie, the cyber dream girl he's been e-mailing for months. Miami Beach, beating with a rhythm all its own, is teeming with beautiful people. Kelly's friends are drawn into the beachside fun, while Kelly tentatively navigates a sea of strangers.

- You sure you're not from Havana?

- Carlos, I need you for the dinner shift.

- He can't. He's busy tonight.

- [ Carlos ] Please.

- What's with the girl?

I'll tell you what's with me. You overwork him,

treat him like dirt. You don't pay overtime.

Carlos, I didn't realize

you were so unhappy.

- Mr. O'Mara--

- No, no. Maybe you should take

the rest of the night off.

- Thank you.

- In fact, take every night off. You're fired.

Mr. O'Mara, wait.

- What just happened?

- I am so sorry.

- I wasn't thinking--

- Sure you were.

You were thinking

about yourself.

- Mr. O'Mara. Mr. O'Mara, wait.

- No.

So, thanks for a great day.

I'm even willing to forget

how it started.

It's good when some things go wrong,

'cause it makes other things go right.

- Well, that was deep.

- [ Chuckles ]

I got it from

a fortune cookie.

Well, good night.

Good night.

- So I guess I'll see you

at the beach tomorrow. Okay.

- Sure.

- Good night.

- Good night.

[ Brandon Rapping ]

[ Continues ]

- Brandon! Brandon! Move!

- Ow!

- Brandon! Brandon! Move!

- Ow!

[ Ends ]

I'm friends of the promoters.

Brandon, please let me in for free.

No problem.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

See y'all later.

- [ Screams ]

- [ All Laughing ]

Margarita Madness was the bomb. I made

a thousand bucks. Set an all-time record.

Plus, I met a Swedish girl named Inga

and I only spilled her drink three times.

- Another record.

- Well, I'm off to meet my Internet babe.

Once she sees this bronzed

Adonis, she'll know it was worth the wait.

- Whoa, whoa. Got milk?

- My skin is not milky. It is alabaster. Thank you.

Plus, I have three hours

of prime tanning time before our date.

- Hey, I've been lookin' for you.

- Well, you're in luck. Here I am.

You invited my girlfriend last night

to your little margarita party...

and your bouncer

didn't let me in.

And I don't take

rejection too well.

You know, there's a really

good explanation for that.

- What is it?

- Tell him.

[ Gasps ]

[ Grunts ]

Officer, thank God.

I swear, I was being chased by a giant steroid.

- He was mean looking and big and-and mean.

- Uh-huh.

How much do I owe?

Bronze me.

Well, I better get going.

I'm meeting Justin in an hour at the beach.

Kelly, I don't mean to burst your bubble,

but I don't know about Justin.

- Why are we friends with her?

- I'm just trying to protect Kelly's feelings.

The guy's a party animal. How do you know

he's not dating a different girl every night?

I don't. I'm just willing

to take that chance.

- You don't have anything in common.

- That's what's cool about it.

I appreciate your concern, but you don't

know what it's like to connect with someone.

- What is that supposed to mean?

- [ Kaya ] Come on.

You date a billion different

guys. You dance on tables.

That's who you are.

Just like Kelly's nice.

- Kaya's smart.

- And you're--

- A party girl?

- Yes, a party girl.

Maybe there's more

to me than that.

Yes.

Justin, dude, I know you met this chick,

but you gotta hustle.

If you want this business to work,

you gotta act professionally at all times.

Pool party at the Paradise.

Hot chicks, ten bucks.

Guys, free.'' Oh, very professional.

Oh, great, a typo.

This is all your fault.

My fault? You're the one

who had 'em printed.

- You let me. You know I'm irresponsible.

- [ Phone Ringing ]

I'd love to help, but you know

I'm meeting Kelly at the beach.

Great. The copy shop

is right on the way.

Change of plans. We're meeting at Pearl.

Opposite direction.

- Come on.

- Have fun.

- Thanks, dude.

- Call me.

Guys, free.''

Oh, yeah.

- Cool tan, huh?

- [ Mutters, Laughing ]

Ladies.

Ho! See that?

- Okay. What--

- [ Laughing ] Way to go, dude.

What's going on?

[ Screaming ]

Oh! Oh, God!

[ R&B ]

[ Woman Singing ]

[ Singing ]

[ Female Singers Harmonizing ]

[ Ends ]

- Is there a Kelly here?

-Justin!

- Hey!

- Hey, Alexa.

I'm supposed to meet

Kelly here. Have you seen her?

Oh. No, I don't know

where she is.

She's kind of flaky,

but maybe she'll show up later.

In the meantime,

why don't you just wait here with me?

All right.

- Still no sign of him?

- No.

- He hasn't called either.

Did he leave a message at the hotel?

- No, ma'am.

I'm sure there's

a perfectly good explanation.

It better be that he got hit by a car

and he's in the hospital on his deathbed.

A priest giving him

last rites.

I don't know.

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

We're two totally

different kinds of people.

- You don't have to be.

- What do you mean?

Well, if he's a big

party promoter...

then let's get

to partyin'.

[ Both Giggling ]

- [ Groaning ]

- [ Knocking ]

[ Knocking Continues ]

Okay. All right.

- Uuh!

- Where is she?

- Worst hotel ever!

- Inga!

- This is just a misunderstanding!

- You've been seeing my girlfriend!

I'm meeting my Internet girlfriend

in two minutes down at the bar.

I only have one layer of skin left! If you come

near me, I will jump. I'm not kidding.

- You wanna be tried for murder?

- Don't even try to deny it, Brandon!

- I know you've been seein' her!

- I'm not Brandon!

- I can't believe she's seein' a guy like you!

- What are you tryin' to say?

She goes for fit, good-looking guys.

Not dorks!

Okay. Well, maybe it's not about

being fit or good-looking.

- Maybe she finds me attractive

for my mind, okay?

- [ Grunts ]

- As well as my body.

- Why is she doing this to me?

You wanna know the truth?

The truth is, this is not about me.

- Okay? This is about your

relationship with Inger.

- Inga.

Inga. Right. I mean,

if she was happy with you...

why would she be having an affair with anyone,

let alone me, the dork?

And you coming here to kill me

is not gonna solve anything, okay?

All you'll have is a dead,

red dork.

You're right.

Thank you?

You wanna have a drink

and talk some more?

Yeah. Sure, sure. Heh!

Sounds great.

Uh, you know this won't go

any further than friendship, right?

Yeah, yeah. You know that.

[ R&B, Indistinct ]

Here you go.

[ Sighs ] I just don't understand

why Kelly's blowin' me off.

Are we still

talkin' about her?

Look, Justin, I'm gonna

level with you, darlin'.

You need to date someone a little more wild.

That's who you are.

- That's just my reputation.

- Exactly.

You're a party guy and you need a party girl,

just like a president needs a first lady.

- Look, what I'm tryin' to say

is I'm not like that anymore.

- [ Laughs ] Oh, please!

Don't give me some speech about

how you've changed and grown up

and discovered true love...

because underneath I know you're

just lookin' for a really good time.

I am. My idea of having

a good time is being with Kelly.

[ Chuckles ]

I gotta go.

So she hasn't mentioned

her boyfriend back at home?

What?

She does this all the time

with guys, Justin.

- You're lying.

- Am I?

I just don't want

you to get hurt.

I don't believe you.

Well, don't say

I didn't warn you.

[ Scoffs ]

Lightweight.
