Magic Mike Page #9

Synopsis: Mike Lane is a thirty-year old living in Tampa,Florida. By day he works as a roofer while at night, as Magic Mike, he is the star attraction of the Kings of Tampa, a group of male strippers. Secretly he wants out in order to further a projected furniture-making business but his credit rating precludes a bank loan for this despite his considerable savings. One night Adam, a teen-aged work-mate of Mike, follows him to the club and, when one of the acts is unable to go on,he is prevailed upon to strip - becoming a huge hit. However success goes to his head and his foolish actions not only threaten to jeopardize his sister Brooke's relationship with Mike but Mike's ambitions as well.

l don't know if he lost it,

or if he's just being a f***ing kid.

Either way, it doesn't matter anymore.

Okay?

Look, you got to--

What am l--?

l don't know, l can maybe sign over

the van...

...until he can figure out

something out.

F***, l don't know, man.

Come on, primo. The guys l'm rolling with,

they ain't about f***ing paperwork, man.

TOBlAS:
lf you want, l can talk to my guys

and we can try to get him another day.

And what the f*** would that do?

He doesn't have it.

Hey, look--

l just hate to see you doing this.

MlKE:

Just don't give him any more sh*t to sell.

No, that's fine.

He's starting to act like a real punk.

-One of us should talk to him.

-Well, you've done enough, haven't you?

l'll talk to him. lt's fine.

[GATE OPENlNG THEN CLOSlNG]

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

[MlKE SlGHS]

Hey.

Um....

l'm looking for Adam.

He's not picking up his phone.

-ls he all right?

-Yeah, he's okay.

l mean, he doesn't live here anymore.

MlKE:

Where is he?

l'm not sure. l think he's with Nora.

Okay, cool. Just, uh, let him know

that l'm looking for him if you see him.

Ha, this is so much bullshit.

You know that, right?

This is really how we're going to end this?

Are you f***ing serious?

-l said everything l needed to say.

-You had a lot to say yesterday.

You don't have anything else to say?

You want to add onto that?

You damn sure didn't let me talk,

so let me talk now.

l'm sorry that l f***ed it up.

l didn't mean to do that.

l didn't want to f*** it up. l promised...

...that l would take care of him,

and l didn't, and l'm sorry about that.

You're the last person that l--

Yeah, l believe you...

...and l know you're basically

a good person.

Adam was...

...going to do whatever Adam wanted to do.

l just can't be around your lifestyle.

You can't be around my--?

l'm not my lifestyle.

That's who you think--?

That isn't f***ing--

l'm not-- Am l Magic, uh--?

Am l Magic Mike right now talking to you?

l'm not my goddamn job.

That's not who--

That's not what l do. That's not me.

lt is what l do, but it's not who l am.

l'm not just--

That's why l want to go to Miami.

l don't want to f***ing be

some 40-year-old stripper.

l want to own something.

l want to actually--

l've been trying to, this whole time--

So you don't believe anything

that l've said to you?

You don't-- Right now. Nothing. l'm just--

You don't believe any of it?

Mike, l think the question is,

do you believe it?

l just think that Miami is going to be

a bigger, badder version of this.

But good luck to you.

lf you believe it, good luck to you.

And Adam too.

But l'm going to be here.

Hey.

l, uh....

l want to say thank you about the money.

l know how much that sh*t meant to you...

...especially because of that furniture crap

you wanted to do.

[ADAM CHUCKLES]

l, uh....

l'm gonna pay you back every last cent.

l want you to know that.

All right.

Man, we're gonna look back in 20 years.

You're gonna be dead, probably...

...but l can look back in 20 years and look

at the sh*t that we've done together, man.

F***. Look where l was three months ago.

Three months ago.

Look at where l am now.

l can't thank you enough.

F***, man. l was nowhere.

l have money.

l can f*** who l want to f***.

l have freedom, thanks to you.

And l'm having a f***ing ball.

And we're going to have a f***ing ball

in Miami, man.

So can you smile? Can you look at me?

l only have one thing to say.

And that is:

To my best friend.

A guy who has given me more in this

lifetime than l could ever ask for.

And to bright futures.
