Jack, Jules, Esther & Me Page #2

---

Don't we say, we weren't

going to talk about that.

All right. I'm just

saying, it's good money...

maybe you could talk

to his parents.

Yeah, I'll-Ill think about it.

Yo, you're getting a message...

From who?

Esther.

Who's Esther?

What's it say?

That she could go.

We're back on!

Dude, I said I was sorry.

Relax, chill, man.

Chill!

Dude! I said "Relax. "

I'm covered. I'm covered. It's covered.

"Something from Nothing" ]

I got the feeling now,

somehow

Our worlds must defy

Wondering how

we'll work it out

When they re-collide

Will you ever be my friend?

Melda!

Door!

Necessary it will end

Hi.

Hi.

Do you have a pen or something?

For me to sign.

You... are you delivering?

Uh, no, um... are you Jack?

Luis told me to-

- Oh!

F***.

Right!

You're um...

Esther.

- Esther!

Nice.

Well, come on in.

Melda, come on!

Uh, Jesus, dude!

What did you take?

Uh, nothing

Okay, Esther's gonna be here any

minute, so you have to go get dressed.

No, no, she's...

Hey!

What's up?

Whoa, whoa!

Watch out.

Pitching a major channel rear.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Dude, I'm not into this.

Okay, you know that

I don't dig on Asians.

She's f***ing hot!

Did you not look at her?

Kinda, I mean but... f*** man!

Nobody double dates anymore.

Okay, we're not middle-aged

and who is she?

'Cause I don't know that girl.

I texted like, 30 girls and

she's the only one who would come.

She was in my SAT class.

What SAT class?

I told you, I had to take a

crappy class in Rego Park.

Rego what?

Queens!

She's from Queens.

We were

in a study group together.

She might be nice,

I didn't really talk to her...

She might be nice,

I didn't really talk to her.

That's the worst recommendation ever!

- Okay, whatever!

She's hot enough! She's

here! She wants to have fun!

Go get dressed!

Bro, Jules isn't coming.

Did you text her?

Can we just ditch her and just

get some falafel or something.

All right, all right!

I'm texting her right now.

Are you mad?

Just don't be mad.

Hey!

Hey.

You made it.

Yeah, um...

I was supposed to go out with

my cousin but it's no big deal.

Do you live around here?

Oh, hell no.

Jackson Heights.

Uh... he's-he's just

getting changed.

Hey, I-I forgot to ask you,

um...

Where you gonna go to school?

Q.C., the place to be.

Uh, Queens College, um...

It's super cheap.

Close to home.

My parents would be lost

without me, so.

But, what about you?

Uh, Willhurst.

You-you probably never

heard of it. It's like a...

No, um...

I've definitely heard of it.

Um...

I um... actually applied there.

You must have killed me

on the SAT.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

I probably got like,

a minus 200.

I didn't even know

that was possible.

Well, it is.

Sorry for the delay.

Everything good?

All clear, bro.

So... you two dated

or... you just f***ed, or...?

What?

No!

All right,

It's just messing with you.

Why?

I thought'd be funny.

Sorry.

So, what school are you...

- Princeton. - ... going?

Wow!

You must have amazing grades.

Yeah, not really.

I kinda had the inside track.

You know, it helps if there's a library

there that's named after your grandfather.

Thanks, Grandpa Abe.

What about you?

Where are you going?

You look like, crazy smart.

Oh, yeah.

How can you tell?

Well, you're...

Asian?

Oops.

Is she okay?

Melda, yeah.

She's just very temperamental.

Boy, she doesn't speak English, so I

never really know why she's pissed off.

Uh... so, we're meeting up with your

friends and going to a restaurant?

Well, uh, we have to pick

a different restaurant

because we lost the reservations

to the one I told you about.

There's supposed to be 14 of us,

now, there's just four.

Maybe, three.

Four.

Did you?

I-I texted her but she

hasn't texted back, yet.

Anyway!

We'll pick

a different restaurant,

uh... we'll hit a club,

and then there's this party.

Uh... you said you had a gift

certificate to that restaurant

I... I didn't bring

a lot of money.

Oh, no!

We-we can cover you.

And I'm not 21.

You have an I.D.?

No.

Whoa!

Are you... like, undocumented?

I just...

I just don't have a fake ID.

What's your problem?

- We can fix this.

When you texted me, you

didn't mention the other plan.

I just thought you'd be cool

with it all, because you know?

What?

It's not like you had

anything to do tonight, right?

I didn't mean for it

to come out that way.

Um... - Bro, she's clearly

not into this, all right?

The whole plan's f***ed.

Uh, it doesn't matter

because you should stay!

Why? So you can keep bragging

about how lucky you are?

Lucky?

Yeah.

Forget it.

I'm gonna go now.

I worked hard

for everything I got.

Just because you screwed up your SATs

doesn't mean you have to hold it against me.

Are you serious?

'Cause I'm not an idiot.

I got good grades.

I didn't get straight A's but that's because

I had to work everyday for my parents.

I'm sorry you didn't get

into Willhurst.

I did get in!

Then why aren't you going?

Because I didn't get any

scholarship money like I bet you did.

Yeah, I did, but what does

that have to do with you?

'Cause some minorities

are more valuable than others,

even if they get

minus 200 on the SAT.

Are you serious?

- Hey, dude.

I got As.

At least two or three As.

So don't act like

you're so much smarter than me.

What'd you get on the SAT?

Are you serious?

What'd you get?

I did good.

You did good?

I did well.

Whatever the f***

the word it is!

Maybe not as good as you but you don't

have to be a f***ing b*tch about it.

I'm going.

Oh, good!

Hey, dude, um...

What?

Jules is on her way up.

F***!

Um...

What do you want to do?

Hey, wait!

Uh, don't go yet.

Why, you think of

some better insults?

No!

Look.

I'm sorry

I said that stuff.

Look...

I'm sure you earned

your scholarship.

So what do I know?

It's just...

I thought this dinner was gonna

be a different kind of thing.

Actually, I don't know

what I was thinking.

Since we never even

talked in class, so...

No hard feelings.

It's just...

not what I thought.

Good luck at school.

Oh, no, wait.

Don't...

I'm sorry I was rude.

It...

Just...

I'm gonna be really honest with

you 'cause this is my last chance.

I mean, there's this girl

coming over, and I'm...

I've been in love

with her forever.

And tonight, it was my chance.

But everything got screwed up

at the last minute.

That's when you texted me?

She leaves for Dartmouth

in a week.

And I just know some dude

is gonna romance her.

Who knows about like, yachting

and all that stuff and I just...

I just-I just wanna dazzle her

before she forgets me.

What do you want me to do?

Just hang out with us.

Four is more balanced

than three.

It won't exactly

be a double date but...

I'm supposed to be with Jack?

Jules is on her way up.

It should be fun, okay?

It, uh...

If I crash and burn,

it will at least be memorable.

It-it could be

an-an epic failure.

If I stay,
