Loitering with Intent Page #5

Maybe people are seeing

something in him,

that they just don't see in us,

and that something is 'it'.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- He's on TV, we're not!

He's got a big agent, we don't.

I bet you, in a year, he's doing

a war film with Ed Harris,

and you and I are still shaking Cosmos in

Brooklyn, talking about Bertolt Brecht.

I'm not gonna change my philosophy for

living because Devon got a reality TV show.

Come on! Okay, so what is this

so called philosophy for living, Raph?

Because the last I looked,

you were a 40 year old bartender.

I don't give a motherfuck about Idol!

I don't give a motherfuck

about Jennifer Hudson,

surfing, 'it',

or whatever you're talking about!

Now I wanna end this conversation.

Either you're doing something wrong,

or you're doing everything right.

That could mean that you just don't have 'it'.

If you have talent, if you have

real talent, you don't question it,

and people that constantly question it,

are the mediocre ones,

and that's what you are.

Mediocre.

Is that how you really feel about me?

I mean, is that how you really feel?

- You're doing it right now!

- What? I'm doing what?

You're begging approval.

You have this pathetic need for

validation, look at you. Even from me.

Even from me, the 40 year old bartender.

Well, at least I'm putting myself out there.

At least I'm going for something.

You know what, that takes courage.

You're doing nothing!

You've become a novelty act,

and I'll tell you something,

you're kidding yourself

if you think my sister

would ever have a

serious relationship with you.

You're an entertainment.

No one we know takes you seriously.

No one.

You're a f***ing joke.

Should take a blowtorch to this f***ing place.

Dude, there's some chick out here,

bro, it's like a mirage.

She's so f***ing hot, dude.

- You know her?

- That's Ava. She used to work for Gigi.

You're not gonna land her

the way you do those L.A skanks.

Couple of tiki drinks with some coke.

Dude, nobody drinks tiki drinks.

Do you think I can f*** her, bro?

- See all this stuff out here? See all this?

- Yeah.

It's my stuff.

Gigi put all my stuff out here.

Wanna bring it back in?

She thinks it's over, she's wrong.

Well, do you think,

there's a chance it might be?

Might be what?

- Over, dude.

- Come here.

- What?

- Come here.

- Come on, man. What did I do, dude?

- Come here.

- Come here.

- What? What are you doing?

- Nothing man.

- Nothing? What are you doing? Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Why?

Why?

What are you doing, man?

What are you doing, stop.

- What are you prepared to do?

- No, Wayne, don't get yourself worked up.

- Is God big and white?

- Don't get yourself worked up.

- Do you believe in the Pope?

- Chill out, stay in the pocket.

I'm in the pocket.

You in the pocket?

You want the same sh*t to happen

that happened in the city?

You want that to happen here?

Do you?

Do you, man?

- Okay, okay.

- Okay.

- I'm glad you're here.

- Yeah, me too, man.

Hey, tell me

this. She 18?

- Hey.

- Hi.

What's happening?

- You look nice and comfy.

- I feel comfy.

- You know Wayne?

- I do.

I'm his brother, Devon.

- You're Ava.

- I am.

Hey.

Welcome to our illustrious country

home, Wayne's brother, Devon.

I surf.

Cool. Professionally?

Yeah, but that's not all I do.

I'm a philanthropist.

Got my own clothing line.

Devon, Devon!

I gotta get in the pocket man.

Gimme your car keys.

Oh, they're in the visor.

He's fine. So, like,

what do you do?

What are you a professional at?

Wayne said you're en entrepreneur?

Did I just see Wayne drive down the road?

Yeah, he just took a drive

to get his head straight.

- Hi, Dev.

- Hey, G.

Just met Ava.

She's very pretty.

You know...

Wayne really wants to work it out with you.

- He's trying, you know, he's really trying.

- He's crazy.

Izzy, I didn't get your messages.

The service is in and out up here.

I had to go to the emergency animal

hospital, all night with him.

- All night and...

- The service is bad. If I knew...

Of course I would have called you if I

knew Benny hurt his eye, I mean, what...

Just tell me what's... What happened?

Tell me what happened? Is he okay?

I don't wanna talk to you until you're done

writing this screenplay, or whatever it is.

Are you serious? Are you seriously

doing this to me right now?

Can you put Benny on speaker phone?

I wanna talk to him.

No, no, no.

That's ridiculous. I'm not putting

your dog on speaker phone.

Izz? Izzy,

are you there?

- You okay?

- Jesus!

- Devon, you just scared the sh*t out of me.

- All right, dude, chill out.

We're in a country.

It's illustrious here.

- How you doing, babe?

- What the hell?

What happened to you?

Me and your brother

getting down at the deeper truths.

How's it going with you and Wayne?

- I haven't seen him yet.

- Yeah?

Well, if you need me,

you shoot up a flare, okay?

You still got it!

Look, I'm throwing a goddamn party

here tonight, lighting this place up.

You got an old suit

in that collection for me?

A party? Yeah, sure.

- I have a suit, of course.

- Okay, good.

- You smell that night jasmine, do you?

- Yeah, I smell it.

Be cool, Raph. Okay?

Just be cool.

Hold up, broheim.

What's up superstar, I heard

about your show. Congrats.

Thanks, friend.

Nice ride.

What do you want, Dev?

- Where you going?

- I'm going to the store.

Are you gonna get something for Gigi?

I'm gonna get something for everybody you want

me to pick you up a nice Rose there, Venice?

Your eyes, my eyes.

Your eyes, my eyes, bro.

I'm watching you. All day.

Hi.

Hi, Devon.

- Hello?

- What're you doing?

I'm thinking.

What's all that noise?

- Cooking.

- Mm, what're you cooking?

Everything.

- Sauce?

- Yeah.

Polenta?

Nice.

Lamb?

- What do you want?

- Come around the corner, by the pond.

Hey, how's the sauce?

- Good. What're those?

- Would you like to have a seat?

Where'd you get 'em?

Did you take them?

Don't worry about where I got 'em.

Just sit down, please?

I wanna talk.

Did you take those chairs

from somebody's porch?

I borrowed them.

Just bring 'em back, Jesus.

I thought we could sit down

and talk and be nice.

What you being so uptight about?

- You asked me to marry you!

- How is that a bad thing?

I don't see how this is a bad...

How and when you did it is the bad thing.

And then you just took off?

That's a bad thing!

- I mean what were you thinking?

- I don't know.

My head was f***ed up, okay, but I've

been thinking about this for a long time.

Jesus Christ, Wayne.

Jesus Christ what?

What do you want from me?

I love you.

I wanna marry you.

Where are you going? Don't you

think I know what's wrong with me?

Please, come back.

Please, come back here.

I got something for you. It's an anger

card, just for you to... Sit down.

- Babe, sit down.

- Hey, I don't wanna sit.

"There's nothing really

worth getting angry about.

What're you angry about this time?"
