Garden Party Page #2

and went at it.

You wanna play a

show Friday night?

We're supposed to play this party.

John was gonna sing,

but he f***in' sucks.

You're, like, killer.

Let's just have him sing, man.

The parents are out of town.

It's gonna be a sweet party,

up in the hills. You should come.

Yeah. Sounds good.

Dirk, give him the address.

Here. Take a flier.

I'm gonna have to bum a ride.

Is it cool if I bring somebody?

It's like 10 bucks for beer, but I'm sure

we can get your buddy in. Right?

For sure. Get there around 5.

We can set up, play.

We might play Hollywood.

- You wanna do this again?

- Yeah, count it off.

- Studio.

- Hello.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah. Hi.

I was wondering

if I could get my photo taken.

Did you see my site?

- No, a friend.

- A friend?

Yeah, she told me that a friend

of hers got her photo taken.

You know the kind

of pictures I take?

Yeah, I know.

- Okay. And it's 450, right?

- It's 450 if you're good.

Okay. So, what do I have to do?

- Studio.

- Hi. I'm here to get my picture taken.

- You're early.

- I took Metro.

Really? How was that?

I've never been on it.

It's easy.

Come in.

So your friends told you about us.

What did they say?

Good things, I hope.

Stop.

I wanna see you in that light.

Beautiful.

God, I can't wait to take

your picture. You're beautiful.

People tell you you're beautiful

all the time, don't they?

Okay. You know what?

Let's make this easy, all right?

There's a robe in there.

Take off your clothes,

put on the robe, come on out.

We'll just start

with some simple headshots, okay?

Come on, let me hear you say "okay".

Okay.

- Sally St. Clair's office.

- Yeah, hi. Is Sally in?

- Yeah, may I ask who's calling?

- This is Todd Winger.

- I'm sorry, one more time?

- Todd Winger.

Todd Winger.

Okay, can you hold please? Thank you.

We got a live one.

Name, please? Hello?

Todd Wang...? Wanger?

Todd Winger.

Hello, Todd.

So are you ready?

Yeah. I'm the guy

who took the gum off your shoe.

And you did a damn fine job of it.

Mother left you a house.

When can I see it?

Tomorrow afternoon?

How would that work?

How about 3:
00?

Yeah, that sounds good.

You know I'm not really sure

that I wanna sell.

Yes, of course.

This is just an exploratory meeting.

Your girlfriend doesn't like

this place because...?

She says it's too big.

You could pretty much move anywhere

you want if you sold this house.

- What did your mother do?

- Nothing. She married well.

My dad was a lot older.

He developed a lot of

property out in the Valley.

He was pretty well off.

So I take it you don't need the money.

No, not really.

Well, you could always rent it out.

Yeah, I just don't know

if I'm ready to move.

I grew up in this house.

So how did you get into real estate?

I was...

...desperate for a job where

I didn't have to take my clothes off.

Some guy walked into the club where

I was working and offered me a job.

He figured I'd be an easy lay.

So...

...I stole all of his clients,

and here we are.

I've seen your picture before

on the Internet.

You were much younger.

What pictures?

Show me.

How did you find these photos?

They've been on there forever.

Is it your head

on someone else's body?

Nope.

It's me.

A few years ago, but it's still me.

You look good.

I still do.

So who owns the pictures?

A real low-life.

I guess you could call him

my first boyfriend.

I sold 15 million dollars

worth of real estate

for that son-of-a

b*tch last year.

He is not gonna cut

my commission now.

No. No. I want my full commission.

I don't give a sh*t.

I do not give one sh*t.

- David?

- He doesn't have the money? F*** him.

I'll fight him

all the way to the courthouse.

I gotta go. I gotta go.

- Hi, I'm Leni.

- Leni, I'm David.

Come here.

Wow. Wow, you're a knockout.

- Your picture doesn't do you justice.

- Thank you.

So you hungry?

- Sure.

- Come on.

Excellent.

- I hope you like Indian food.

- I do.

I like spicy food.

Thank you.

So here's to new

and exciting opportunities.

You looked a lot

different in your picture.

That picture was taken a year ago.

And you're 40?

You're starting to insult me now, Leni.

No, no, no. It's just that I'm still new

to the online dating...

...and I get confused.

Then let me tell you something:

There's nothing to be confused about.

Hey, you're a beautiful woman.

I'm a very successful guy.

And afterwards,

I'll take you back to my estate

and I'll show you around.

You confused still?

Have a drink.

- Come on.

- No, no. I wait for my car.

No, no. We'll come back for your car.

It'll be better that way.

- I wait for my car!

- Come on!

I wait for my car.

Oh, yeah? Okay, I get it.

I mean, you let a guy take you out

for an expensive meal, right?

And that's it?

I hope you enjoyed it.

Here. Come on.

Go get her car.

Piece of sh*t.

What is it? A f***in' Yugo?

So I'm not good enough for you?

Is that it?

You want somebody younger?

You want somebody better-looking?

Yes.

What are you looking at?

You know how much money

I spend in this place?

- Yeah. Not enough, though.

- Leni, huh?

Leni. I bet that's

not even your real name.

Go on back to the strip club, Leni!

Hello?

It's nice, huh?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

You know, my mom always promised

she was gonna put in a pool.

And then she never did it.

Come on. Playtime's over.

Let's get out.

All right.

I'll show you the house.

- Wow, pretty swank.

- Yeah.

The guy's dad is, like, a software dude.

Makes a lot of cash, I guess.

No, I'm cool.

You wanna call me?

I mean, I'll pick you up.

Don't worry about it.

I'll find a ride home.

- Hey, Sammy.

- Yeah?

Nothing.

They're all out here.

It's a cool house, huh?

There's the band.

Sammy, you made it.

Very cool.

- What's up, man? You want a beer?

- No, not right now.

I see you met Becky.

- These are the rest of our groupies.

- Shut up, Wayne.

All right, man.

You wanna go set up, or what?

Five-letter word for "enlightenment"?

You're asking the wrong guy, pal.

Not tonight, please.

I'll do it first thing in the morning.

I promise, yeah.

Oh, right now?

Yeah, I'm out pulling the signs

out of the yards of your competitors.

Yeah, okay. 8 a.m.

Absolutely. Bye.

Hey, I'll have a beer.

You know, whatever's cheapest.

Your phone is ringing.

Thanks.

Five-letter word for "enlightenment"?

I never was any good at that stuff.

"African nut-bearing tree"?

Four letters.

- Life is my f***ing puzzle.

- Okay. What do you do for fun?

Honestly? Nothing.

Yeah, my life is a joyless existence.

I work, I sleep, I do a bit of pot,

and I drink. That's it.

I'm basically totally alone,

and lonely all the time.

Aren't you glad you asked?

Yeah. I am.

- What do you do for a living?

- I work for a real estate agent.

How's that going?

Does "joyless existence" ring a bell?

Hey, let me buy you a shot.

And let's get you a real beer.

April.

Hey. How are you?

I'm okay.

What...? What kind of bar is this?
