From Justin to Kelly Page #5

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.

- [ Punching Keypad ]

- God, how could you curse me

with a perfect body...

and the gift of persuasion?

Hey. It's Alexa.

Listen, I was wondering

if you could do me a favor.

Yeah. How soon can you

get down here?

She always says

I take her for granted.

- You gotta start paying attention to her.

- Buy her flowers. Right.

Not just that.

You have to listen to what she says.

- But I'm not interested in what she says.

- Okay. Bottom line, Greg.

- Do you love her?

- Well, yeah. I guess. I mean--

The thought of her being with anybody else,

man, that just makes me-- makes me crazy.

Okay. Good, good.

You love her.

That's good. That's good. Now-- Now--

Now, you just have to fight for her. Heh!

- Emotionally, I mean.

- Yeah. [ Scoffs ] You are right.

- I'm right, I'm right.

- I can't believe I'm sittin' here...

- havin' a drink with the guy

who is datin' my girlfriend.

- Sunburn. Sunburn.

[ Slurping, Grunting ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Dance Pop, Indistinct ]

[ Crowd Chattering,

Whooping ]

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on.

You'll all get a chance to party BR&J style.

- Dude, dude! MTV just showed up, man!

- Thank you!

Now I can say with complete

certainty that I rule.

- Should we give 'em a discount

on the entrance fee?

- Uh, no.

Don't you dare try to text her again.

She'll sense you're desperate.

- Dude, I am desperate.

- Welcome to the world of women,

my damaged friend.

You text, Eddie E-mails.

How about a little face-to-face action?

Make up for all your losses

in one party-filled fiesta.

- Y'all give discounts to

friends of the promoters?

- 'Cause I'm ready to party.

- Y'all give discounts to

friends of the promoters?

- 'Cause I'm ready to party.

[ Continues ]

[ Singing ]

Ooh!

[ Together]

Hey, hey!

[ Continues ]

[ Ends ]

- Luke!

- Who's he?

- Her boyfriend.

- So you do have a boyfriend.

- He is not my boyfriend!

- Then why was he kissing you?

- Why don't you back off, Sideshow Bob?

- What did you call me?

- You wanna take this outside?

- What is he doing here?

- We are outside, Tex.

- Okay, okay. Everybody calm down.

Nobody wants to fight.

- Oh, bring it!

- All right, all right! Look.

There's gotta be a fair

yet profitable way to settle this.

Okay, hover dudes,

these are the rules.

You line up at the starting points. When

the whistle blows, you begin your passes.

You must toss your beanbags

into the other hovercraft.

After five passes, both crafts

return to the starting points.

The one with the fewest of the other team's

beanbags is the winner. You got it?

- Luke, you don't have to do this!

- Relax, sugar. I know what I'm doin'.

It's just like ridin' a bull,

'cept on sand...

and in the water and then

back on sand again.

- Can you beat this clown?

- Dude, of course.

The odds on Justin are two to one,

Luke pays ten to one...

and of course,

I get a 20% handling fee.

- You guys ready?

- [ Cheering ]

Riders, ready?

Hover dudes, go!

Whoo!

- Go!

- Whaddya got?

Luke! Yeah!

[ Engine Sputtering ]

Yes! Go, J!

Ohh!

- Oh.

- [ Man ] Help him.! Help him.!

Luke!

[ Kelly ]

Luke, can you hear me?

You're gonna be okay, Luke.

I take it gambling on hovercrafts--

not so legal.

No. Not so legal.

- Hey.

- Hey. So are you okay?

- Hey.

- Hey. So are you okay?

- Yeah. I got five stitches,

but it ought to heal right up.

- Good.

- Now, what are you doin' here?

- Well, Lex called and told me you needed me.

Alexa? Look, I'm not sure what she was

thinking, but, Luke, you and I are just friends.

Can't we be the kind of friends that go on

dates together and, you know, mess around?

I was thinking more

the sister-brother-type friendship.

So this isn't gonna work?

No.

- You sure know how to hurt a guy

when he's down.

- Luke, it's five stitches.

It still hurts!

Hi.

Hi.

The guys at Nikki Beach

said you might be here.

You got a new job.

That's cool.

Yeah.

Five and a quarter an hour, scraping beans

off plates and filling urinals with ice.

I'm livin' the dream.

Look, I just wanted

to apologize.

- I feel terrible about what happened.

- You do?

Yes, I do.

I thought we liked each other.

Look, Kaya. We both know what this is.

It's a spring-break fling.

You know, in a couple days

you'll go home back to your friends...

and tell 'em all

your wild stories.

You'll tell 'em about the guy you picked up,

except you won't even remember his name.

- But--

- But some of us are home, and guess what?

We want more outta life too.

We need our jobs!

So why don't you just do us

all a favor and stay out of our lives?

Come to the biggest, baddest,

wildest spring-break party. Please come.

It's only five bucks admission.

I need the money, and I'm not afraid to beg.

Please. Come.

It's your last chance to party

until next year.

Hey.

Hey. Thanks for comin',

Alexa.

My pleasure.

We need to talk about Kelly.

How do I win her back?

- You can't.

- What?

-Just forget about her.

- I don't understand.

I mean, move on.

What has Kelly offered to you?

Nothing but lies and heartbreak. I mean,

you deserve more than that-- a lot more.

Someone like me.

Look, Alexa, I appreciate that,

but I think you're getting the wrong idea.

Justin, I'm here for you.

All of me.

Alexa! What are you doing?

- You're making a huge mistake, Justin.

- [ Scoffs ]

Well, add it

to my scoreboard.

Do you know how many guys

would kill to be in your position?

You think Kelly

has what I have?

[ Kaya Singing ]

- [ Ends ]

- [ Knocking ]

Carlos, what are

you doin' here?

I came to apologize

for everything.

You don't have to apologize. I'm the one

who should've minded my own business.

Okay then. Go ahead.

You're right.

I should've stood up

for myself long ago.

You know, I just had all this building

frustration, and-- and I took it all out on you.

Let me make

it up to you.

How would you like to join me for an

eight-course dinner at a five-star restaurant?

Carlos, you don't have to take me

someplace expensive to impress me.

I know, I know.

Are you adventurous?

Close your eyes.

The adventure starts.

- [ Giggles ] I can't see.

- Come on. Hold on, hold on.

Turn this way.

It starts right now.

You did this for me?

This is incredible.

You deserve incredible.

[ Laughs ]

- Shall we?

- When did you have time to do this?

Hey. There you are.

Wanna get somethin' to eat? I'm starvin'.

Yeah. I imagine stabbing one

of your best friends in the back

does take a lot out of you.

- What are you talkin' about?

- Alexa, first of all,

why did you invite Luke here?

Okay. I invited Luke here because I thought

you were getting in too deep with Justin.

Alexa, I saw you

with Justin today.

All right. I didn't want

to have to tell you this, but...

- But what?

-Justin called me.

He said he needed to see me.

He said it was important and not to tell you.

And then he said the only reason

he was seeing you was to get close to me.

I told him I was your best friend
