Girl Most Likely Page #6

Hello?

I don't want to get weighed down.

No. I got to keep light on my toes.

All right, don't forget

to be careful, Bubba.

Somebody should tell

those Romanians that.

I'll make you something for later.

What do you want?

Turkey cheese? Huh?

Extra mayo?

- Yeah.

- Be careful, Bubba.

Where's he going?

Ralph, you know you can't ask that, honey.

It's a secret mission.

- He's going to have sex with another woman.

- Oh!

Don't start with me!

Mom, the guy is a compulsive liar.

You really believe all that CIA sh*t?

I mean, he told us

he's a time-traveling samurai.

George doesn't lie. He's just lived a

life so exciting it sounds made up.

That's because it is!

Imogene. Um, can I...

He doesn't lie. He never lied to me.

Are you doing anything today?

Uh, I don't know. Why?

I was just wondering if you could help me

with my ultimate... My ultimate plan.

- What? Ultimate plan?

- Yeah, this.

That's me, okay?

- This is gonna be you.

- Uh-huh.

And you're gonna do it?

You'll do it. Okay. Great, great. Okay.

That's her.

That's her right there.

That's her. Don't look. Don't look.

Don't look.

Back at me.

We're a good pair, right?

Are you sure this is going to work?

What if she finds out we're related?

How would that happen?

What if she sees a photograph?

I'll cut out your face.

Imogene! Look, I'll give you $20.

No,no,no,no.

Just give it to me later.

Are you going now?

You're going right now?

Okay.

Hi.

Hey-

Can I help you?

Um, yeah, Ralph Duncan

referred me to you.

- Oh, yeah?

- He said to check out

your glitter expression.

That's sweet of him.

Hey-

Do you want a demonstration?

Oh, I don't...

Do you want to look around?

Peruse. No pressure.

So, do you want to

know how I know Ralph?

What? Are you guys,

like, related or something?

Ew! Ugh!

Gross. I'm so attracted to him.

That's why I'm saying that,

because that'd be creepy.

Oh. So did you guys hook up?

No.

- Though I've prayed about it. Many times.

- Mmm-hmm.

Had graphic fantasies.

Real graphic stuff.

You know, he gave me crabs.

Oh, you trying to make me jealous?

- No, not like those crabs.

- No, I know.

Come see.

Right. Yeah. Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah. Cute.

So, do you know what you want

your glitter expression to be,

or do you want me to do an assessment?

Oh, um...

What is a glitter expression, exactly?

You see, I like to think of glitter

as your alter-ego shining through.

It's like a sparkly expression

of who you are on the inside.

Oh. I never thought of it like that.

Like, for instance, on my boyfriend,

he's really into the Jets, right?

So he always has me

paint one on his face.

You have a boyfriend?

Yeah. Jason DelPino.

- Why, you know him?

- No. No.

Right, so since you don't know what

you want your glitter expression to be,

I'm just gonna

absorb your energy for a second,

and that way I

can paint something that best describes

who you are on the inside.

Oh, I can just get the cupcake.

Imogene, that

doesn't make any sense.

Allyson, she talks to

me when we're at work.

And one time she even asked me

if I thought she looked hot.

I bet if she didn't have a

boyfriend she'd be into it.

If she really liked me,

she would have an affair.

Maybe Allyson isn't the kind of person

who can recognize and appreciate

how special and unique you are.

She's the only girl I know besides Mom.

Well, maybe it's time you start thinking

about going farther than the boardwalk.

Having new experiences,

and meeting people

with whom you share things in common.

What kind of people

would I share things in common with?

Maybe Jacques Cousteau

has a granddaughter or something.

I don't know off the top of my head,

but all I'm saying is

there's a whole world

out there that you've never experienced.

You really think it's

worth experiencing?

Sometimes.

So now, our next group

really got it goin' on!

The original American superstars.

The... The... The... The...

Backstreet Boys!

My homeboys. The Backstreet Boys.

Hey-

I can't believe you made it.

What did you think?

Um...

it was fun. it was fun.

You look so different with makeup on.

Well, that's good, I think.

I wouldn't want a face that looks like

I'm wearing makeup all the time, right?

Um, listen, seriously,

thank you so much for coming.

I really appreciate it.

I think you actually brought

the head-count up to like 19.

Which is pretty cool.

Yeah. No problem. I owed you one.

So now we're even forever.

Forever.

Hey, Lee. Are you coming out with us?

Maybe.

I hope so.

Hey-

Okay, were Britney Spears

and Christina Aguilera the same person?

Yeah, they totally were.

I knew it!

So, what do you, uh, feel like doing?

Um, well, I'm probably

just gonna head back

and try to find my dad some more...

It's like 11:
00, you sure about that?

You should come out with us.

Oh, gosh, that sounds like fun.

But I really should head back.

And I don't want my mom to worry.

Wow.

That's really sad,

because you're a writer and that's the

best excuse you can come up with.

All right, look, to be honest,

I don't really feel like going out.

And in addition to that, I don't drink,

and you and I

don't really know each other well enough

to determine whether we would even have

fun in a social setting together.

And, we're practically

from different generations.

You're right. No, you're

right, I agree with you there.

I mean, God forbid we went out and I

said something that was really lame

and you felt embarrassed for me,

and we had nothing to talk about.

- It'd be messy.

- Yeah.

I mean, I'm not being negative,

I'm just saying the

possibility certainly exists,

and for us not to

acknowledge that would be reckless.

No, I agree. I think

it would be reckless.

I think if we did that we'd probably

be taking like a gigantic risk.

- For sure.

- I agree.

Okay.

See you later.

But the thing about that is,

um, I don't give a sh*t.

I'm sorry this place is so loud,

but that's a good sign.

All my friends are here.

Hey!

- You wanna dance?

- No, thank you!

Hey

Well, well.

Look who finally made it.

All right, so this is Nick, that's Lucy,

Charlotte, Antonio, Sherry and Veronica.

Guys, this is Imogene.

- Hello.

- Yo!

Oh, my God.

I think my mom had that same vest!

Cool.

So, how do you guys know each other?

Uh, through her family.

Oh, is she, like, your aunt?

No.

Do you want a drink?

Charlotte, you guys want a drink?

You want a water, soda, something?

Pellegrino.

Hey, Lee, I'll take another

Jack and Coke now,

and I'll get you back later.

You know, I'm gonna have

a Long Island Iced Tea, too.

- A large.

- Oh.

I thought that you didn't drink?

Come on, man. You heard

what the lady said.

Get her some alcohol.

Yeah, you heard what the lady said.

Get me some alcohol.

Um... Okay, great.

All right.

This place has crazy lights.

I feel like I'm on fire,

but my thoughts are really slow.

How do you make it stop?

Drink more.

Okay, let's go dance. Come on.
