Get Him to the Greek Page #12

His phone beeps. It’s Daphne.

DAPHNE:

Hi, baby. When do you get in?

AARON:

We’re actually in Vegas. More

press stuff.

ANGLE ON Jonathan AND ALDOUS. *

JONATHAN SNOW *

It’s been a long time since we’vedone something like this. Remember

Bangkok?

ALDOUS:

How could I forget?

JONATHAN SNOW *

I just want to say it wasn’tcorrect of me to write an *

unauthorized about you. That’s not *

good parenting. *

ALDOUS:

I was a bastard to you, I realizethat now.

JONATHAN SNOW *

How could you not be? I was never

around when you were a kid.

ALDOUS:

Mum wasn’t the easiest person tolive with and what with me in and

out of juvey -

JONATHAN SNOW *

Still no excuse. You were just aboy.

ALDOUS:

Water under the bridge. Life is

too short. We all make mistakes.

The biggest mistake is notforgiving.

75.

JONATHAN SNOW *

It’s good to see you, boy. It

really is.

Jonathan rubs Aldous’s hair like he’s a little boy. This is *

while they’re both getting lapdances.

ANGLE BACK ON AARON:

AARON:

We went to a magic show and nowwe’re at like a nightclub.

A group of naked strippers walk by Aaron, really close.

AARON (CONT’D)

Like a cool nightclub. It’s called

Aaron looks up to see the sign above the bar. It’s called

“The Wet P*ssy Lounge.”

AARON (CONT’D)

-- The Lounge. Palms Casino. I

don’t know why it’s not on thewebsite. Maybe because it’s nextdoor. Is everything OK?

DAPHNE:

I just miss you and I thought you’d *

be home by now and I can’t get to *

the bottom of this last piece, youknow? I just spattered fake bloodon the fake doll part of it but itdoesn’t feel right.

AARON:

Well, I’m sure it looks beautiful.

DAPHNE:

It does and that’s the problem.

(then)

This is so stupid, but I just wantto hear you breathe. Just hearingyou breathe calms me down.

AARON:

Oh. OK.

They both breathe. Aaron’s phone beeps. He looks at it.

Four Seasons. Aaron silently flips over to the other side.

TRIPLE SCREEN between Aaron, Sergio in the lobby of the Four *

Seasons, and Daphne breathing. *

76.

SERGIO *

I’m downstairs. Where are you? *

AARON:

(whispering)

Aldous just went to sleep. He’s

feeling sick.

SERGIO *

Then why does it sound like you’re *

in the meatpacking district? *

AARON:

(whispering)

Hardcore techno’s the only thing hecan sleep to. He’d rather rest up. *

Thinks it’d be better than

rehearsing.

SERGIO *

Come down here. I want to see your *

beautiful face. *

AARON:

(whispering)

He wanted me to keep him company.

SERGIO *

Aw, how cute. Wake the baby up and *

put him on the phone. Right now. *

Aaron flips back to Daphne who’s still breathing. Aaron does

some breathing as he heads over to Aldous and his dad. He

hits the phone on mute.

ALDOUS:

Oy, Aaron! We’re getting AIDSrubbed all over our pants! No

offense, Katherine!

AARON:

Look, Roma wants to speak to you. *

He thinks we’re at the Four Seasons

and that you’re sick and that’s whyyou don’t want to rehearse at theGreek so could you do me a solidand pretend to be sick for him?

And at the Four Seasons? In Los

Angeles?

ALDOUS:

Of course, mate.

Aldous grabs the phone and hits the unmute button.

77.

SERGIO *

Hey, Aldous. It’s Sergio. I *

understand you’re not feeling well -

ALDOUS:

I’m getting lapdances in Vegas with

my pop. We’ll be in LA in the AM.

I love this kid by the way. He’s

fantastic. Ciao.

Aldous hands the phone back to a stunned Aaron.

AARON:

Hello?

SERGIO *

You made me drive to the Four *

Seasons for no f***ing reason. *

Don’t do that again. *

Sergio hangs up. Aaron flips back to Daphne. *

DAPHNE:

Hello? Hello? Hello? Aaron?

AARON:

I’m here. I’m here. Sorry. Just

a weird connection. Battery’s onits way out.

Aaron looks at Aldous who winks at him. Aaron looks over at

the stripper’s pole where a REALLY DRUNK STRIPPER is doing aroutine. She climbs up the pole and then tries to slide downupside down. Instead she falls off the pole and lands hardon her head. Aaron takes this opportunity to leave.

EXT. STRIP CLUB

Aaron walks outside with the phone. A second later a girl(KRISSY, 20S) comes out. She’s petite, blonde and busty --

exactly Aaron’s ideal.

AARON:

I’m sure your piece is much betterthan you think it is.

DAPHNE:

But if I think it’s bad then in myreality it is simply bad and isn’tthat the only thing that counts?

78.

AARON:

I don’t know -- Uh, my battery’sdying,

DAPHNE:

I love you!

Krissy makes eyes at Aaron.

AARON:

And me you.

Aaron hangs up.

KRISSY:

You have a smoke?

AARON:

No, sorry. Don’t smoke.

KRISSY:

I shouldn’t. What’re you doing outhere if you don’t smoke?

AARON:

Waiting for my friend and hisfather to stop getting lapdances.

My friend’s father is dyingapparently and this is what theywant to do together I guess.

KRISSY:

You not into the lapdance thing?

AARON:

No offense, but no.

KRISSY:

I’m not into it either. I’m not a

stripper. But thanks. *

(they laugh) *

Can I have a sip of your drink?

AARON:

Sure thing.

Aaron hands Krissy his drink. Aldous and Jonathan stumble *

out of the strip club with their strippers.

ALDOUS:

There you are, Aaron! We thoughtwe’d bring the party back to fakeItaly.

79.

KATHERINE THE STRIPPER

You mind coming along, Krissy?

KRISSY:

Of course not.

Krissy rolls her eyes at Aaron, not wanting to go.

INT. BELLAGIO SUITE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

The four of them are bent over doing coke.

ALDOUS:

You want any?

AARON:

Nahhh, I’m good.

ALDOUS:

It’s really just like having a cupof coffee.

KATHERINE THE STRIPPER

Like a venti Frappucino that you

snort up your nose.

KRISSY:

Just a little won’t hurt a bittle.

Aaron snorts a tiny amount of coke.

AARON:

Well that was super fun.

INT. BELLAGIO SUITE - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT

Jonathan & Millenium and Aldous & Jet have sex in a giant *

Oriental King. Aldous pulls out his cell and takes a photoof him and Katherine in the midst of sex. PAN OVER to Aaron

and Krissy just sitting on the balcony, trying not to watch.

INT. BELLAGIO SUITE - BALCONY - NIGHT

They are both pretty drunk and coked up. *

80.

AARON:

It’s just like my girlfriend and Iare like totally right for eachother but sometimes I wonder if we

are in fact right for each otherbecause even though we never fight *

she can make things complicated *

that don’t seem that complicated tome and she always says that I’m herfirst nice boyfriend, like I’mmissing testicles or something butshe’s also so great and completesmy life even if I am scared ofbeing honest with her about thosethings I just told you. So, what

do you do for a living?

KRISSY:

I’m a student. Studying to be adoctor.

Krissy puts her hand on his. Aaron stares at it.

AARON:

I’ll be right back.

Aaron goes inside into the bathroom.

INT. BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS

Aaron closes the door and looks in the mirror. Aldous walks

in, holding a large terrifying looking joint.

ALDOUS:

That was something else. She’s a

dirty, dirty bird. Want a hit?
