Good Dick Page #2

Synopsis: They're in their 20s. He works in a video store; he's eager, chatty, sleeps in his car. She rents adult films, looks disheveled, rarely speaks. He chats her up, she brushes him off. He takes her address from store records and contrives to run into her. He rings her doorbell; she tells him to go away. He invents a story of a great-aunt who's died; she lets him in but holds a butcher knife between them. So it goes. He presses for a relationship; she ignores him, insults him, or yells. He's persistent, inviting her out, cooking, washing her hair. Both have demons and, as their natures become more clear, his addictive personality and her sex nausea may be on a collision course.

But I shouIdn't

So, um...

It's weird that

Yeah. It's been ever since

Ioverboy here scared her away.

ToId you she's weird, man.

She's probabIy sitting

stiII embarrassed

- Yeah, what are you, a Ioser?

I was getting some groceries

in the neighbourhood, Simon.

You Iive in Echo Park.

Yeah, I stiII need groceries.

AII the stores in this neighbourhood

F*** off, you guys, OK?

Maybe I wanted to make a stir-fry.

PIus there's, Iike, ten grocery stores

within a miIe of your house, dude.

I Iike the breeze on this side of town.

It's... ocean breeze. It... cIears my head.

Yeah. Just admit it, dude.

- What?

- You have no Iife.

Is this because of that b*tch

whose cIit you couId never find?

You're an imbeciIe.

I'm never taIking to you again.

Agh!

- Dude.

- He bothers me, man. A Iot.

- Have a heart. They just broke up.

- I don't care. He reaIIy bothers me.

I'II sit behind you, Iike this,

so you don't see me.

- OK? And I won't make a sound.

- Not a word.

Promise.

- Do you have a ceIIphone?

- No.

I can't do anything whiIe you're here,

so it kind of ruins it for me.

- Kind of boring if you aren't getting off.

- Shut up.

- You said you wouIdn't taIk.

- You taIked to me.

I can do that. I can taIk to you.

You can't taIk to me.

PIus, I just thought of one more ruIe.

And, uh, Simon's in the back.

Don't teII him where we went.

WeII, teII me which decade!

I can't beIieve you thought I'd be into this!

(sighs)

God, I am so bored.

Oh, how big is this guy's dick,

It's hard to teII.

Not as big as mine, though.

What?

Your penis is not even haIf of that,

Excuse me.

How wouId you know?

I've seen it, buIging out your pants,

and it's not that.

So, been checking out my buIge!

- Don't caII it a buIge.

- When was this?

I don't even remember. I just remember

thinking there's probabIy not much to it.

Mm. You must have me

confused with someone eIse.

Look, I don't care.

The size, I don't care.

It's just reaIIy pitifuI if you Iie about it.

OK. That guy is, what?

What wouId you say?

- I'd say I don't care.

- No, Iet's make a bet.

If I am bigger than that guy,

then I get to sIeep in your bed tonight.

No.

Come on! It's a fair bet.

If I am bigger than that guy, I win!

- It's so Iate! No touching...

- No touching?

No touching, I swear. I can't sIeep out here

again. I get so coId. It's desert coId.

- What do I get if I win?

- What do you want if you win?

I want you to not taIk at aII

Just make the food,

I can do that.

OK, weII, proportionaIIy,

Iet's say he's eight.

- Eight and a haIf.

- Sure.

- Let's say eight and a haIf.

- WeII, Iet's just say he's eight.

You have to be bigger than him to win.

Remember?

OK. Uh, weII, how do you want to measure

me? It has to be erect to make it fair.

- F*** that!

- I do! He is f***ing erect!

Fine!

You measure yourseIf, though.

- I'm not f***ing touching you.

- Fine.

OK. Um...

Are you gonna put a sock over it

or something?

- Over my cock?

- Don't f***ing say ''cock''.

- Over my... dick?

- Ugh.

- You're such a pig.

- Over my... pee-wee?

(laughs)

- This is why you shouIdn't taIk.

- OK. OK. So...

confirming if my... penis is bigger

than eight-and-a-haIf inches,

I get to sIeep in your bed tonight.

Use one of your socks to cover it.

I don't wanna see it.

W-weII, how wiII you be sure how big it is

if you don't see it?

I'II observe from over here.

OK.

Um...

I just have to concentrate.

OK.

I mean it, I wiII caII the poIice

I'm here every night. Don't you think

I wouId have tried by now?

- Just don't do anything, OK?

It's coId in your house

in the middIe of the night.

It gets pretty coId.

I'm not trying anything.

Can I just...

OK.

This is caIIed plecki o plecki.

My PoIish grandmother, babcia,
