Nice Guy Johnny Page #5

Here we go.

- Oh, it's nice.

- Yeah.

Look at those guys playing paddleball...

Sunshine

She's Aquarius

What what what a sign

She came from the sky

Oh oh oh oh

She came from the sky

Oh oh oh oh

Just like rain

Just like rain

Just like rain

Just like rain

- Cold?

- Yeah, you should've joined me.

- No, thank you.

Just like

- You have a fresh beer?

- Yes, I do.

- Ready?

- Ah...

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

So what's the deal,

you live here year-round or...?

- Oh, no, me and my best friend from

school came out here for the summer.

Her parents have a place

over in Montauk.

- Oh, yeah?

Where'd you go to school?

- Loyola Marymount - in L.A.?

- Yeah!

I went to San Francisco State.

- Really?

- Did you play tennis for them?

- Sure did.

All Conference, singles and doubles.

- Wow!

- In fact, I was a seeded player.

But I gave it all up

for some jerk I was seeing.

So that put an end to that dream.

- I'm sorry. So that means

you're like a real jock, then.

- Ah, my father wouldn't have it

any other way.

- You know what?

I would love to get you on my show.

Yeah. Yeah, I'd like to do

an interview, is that all right?

I think it'd be really cool.

We could talk about how a, uh...

college athlete, once they graduate,

what happens then their sport

is no longer the centre of universe.

I think that'd be kinda good.

Would you be down for that?

- You must be hard up for guests.

- Well, I go on air at 2:00 a.m.

So yeah, kinda.

- Uh, my father'll be thrilled.

- All right.

Okay. Okay, you got a deal.

- Okay.

- Sold!

- Hey, what if you end up

taking this job on Monday?

I'm gonna miss out

on my 15 minutes of fame, aren't I?

- Yeah... Yeah, I guess so.

- All right, well, then, I am definitely

voting against that job.

- You wouldn't be the only one,

believe me.

- So what is this new career

opportunity anyhow?

- Mm-mm. No, no, no.

If I tell you,

you're gonna think

I'm a complete jackass.

- It can't be that bad. What is it?

- Oh, it's that bad.

- What is it?

- It is for a warehouse-supervisor

position,

for Moving Made Easy

Cardboard Box and Corrugated Products.

- You cannot be serious?

- I'm serious. I'm serious.

Look, it's not as cool as my DJ position,

but it easily triples my salary, so...

- Listen, I know I just met you

and I do not know a thing about you,

but just promise me

you will not take that job.

I don't care how much they say

they're gonna pay you.

- Yeah... It's a little late for that.

But thank you for your concern.

Well... thank you for the beer.

This was nice. But I'm gonna head back.

I'm gonna try and make a train

back into the city tonight.

- Oh, really?

Are you sure you don't wanna stick

around? 'Cause me and my friends

are having a bonfire down at the beach.

We're gonna grill up some food

and drink a little beer,

smoke a little weed...

- Yeah, no. No, thank you.

It sounds like fun, though.

- Oh, well...

Could be your last chance

of a wild and crazy night

before you spend the rest of your life

neck-deep in cardboard.

- Ah-ha. That's funny.

No, I'll take a rain check, though.

- Suit yourself.

- All right.

You can take these yourself?

- Oh, yeah, I got it.

- Great, I'll see ya.

- Yeah, bye.

Hey, if you change your mind,

we'll be over at Georgica Beach!

- All right.

I'll see ya.

If you want to save the world

you better find yourself a girl

Who doesn't mind

I've been in love

I've been alone

I've seen a million come and go

and I almost stopped trying

But now that I found you

I find myself

You could be the girl

And you and I

Could save the world

In the summer of'07

When I found there was heaven

in your heart

I told you mine is on my sleeve

but it's easier to see it in the dark

Don't you give it up

give it up give it up

Don't you give it up give it up

give it up

'Cause if you give it up

give it up give it up

You've given up given up given up

On the world

Yo, Jim, what's going on, man?

Trip's going good.

I wanna check in,

see how everything was going

with the show last night.

Yeah...

Yeah, he's good, man, you're right.

I'm with you. Think he'll be

my replacement if I decide to leave?

No, nothing's for sure yet, man.

I mean, the interview isn't till Monday.

Set in stone?

Claire said that? No.

No, man, nothing's set in stone.

I might not even take the job.

Yeah...

All right, I just wanna check in.

Okay, man, I'll talk to you soon.

Take it easy.

- Look who's still here.

What happened?

Thought you had to get back

to the city.

- I took a look

at the train schedule.

There was no express trains

running tonight.

I'd have to stop at Babylon,

transfer at Jamaica,

wait an hour.

It wasn't worth it.

- This had nothing to do

with the fact that you ran

into that sweet little piece of ass

down at the beach, did it?

- No! And her name is Brooke, by the way.

- Oh, really.

Well, guess what -

Amy told me

that Brooke really likes you.

And that Brooke wants you to go

to this bonfire tonight.

And I think that's a really good idea.

- Yeah? Then can you do me a favour

and clean the sh*t out of your ears?

Because I'm engaged. It's not happening.

- Yeah, I know,

because you keep reminding me,

but guess what -

you are not married yet. These are

your last moments of freedom,

and your lovely fiance

is 3,000 miles away

and she won't know sh*t.

- What do you want me to do?

Grab her by the hair,

drag her behind the dunes,

f*** her brains out,

hope she doesn't say anything to Claire?

Just pretend it doesn't happen?

Is that your game plan?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because now you're talking my language.

Now I like the way you're thinking.

Because guess what -

it happens every night,

in every town in every country

across the world.

Men and women hooking up,

doing what comes naturally,

vows be damned.

- I don't wanna talk about this anymore.

Go ahead and enjoy your date

with your married girlfriend, okay?

Enjoy your corrupt existence.

I'm gonna stay here,

I'm gonna watch a little Sports Centre,

and I'm gonna go to bed

with a clean conscience, okay?

- Fine, I'm just trying to help you out.

I'm passing on advice, that's all.

- Thanks a lot.

- Just keep something in mind,

though, okay?

Ain't nobody videotaping ya.

Have a good night.

- Good night, Uncle Terry.

I've come to terms

with the things that I've learned

About you and your penchant

for being the person

Who goes home alone

And cries

- Hi.

- Hey, Claire, it's me.

- Hey, I'm just having a drink

before my bridal shower. What's up?

Hello? Earth to Johnny. Come in, please.

- I don't think you're gonna like this,

but, uh...

I don't think the job interview

is such a good idea.

- What?!

- Look, I just don't think...

I should have to give up my dream.

- Hold on.

Where's all this coming from

all of a sudden?

- You knew I never thought

it was a good idea to begin with, babe.

- Uh, yeah. But I also know

you made me a promise.

He's pussing out on me.
