Solitary Man Page #4

But what do you get?

I dont know.

I need another drink.

Shh, shh!

Sh*t, here he comes.

What do I do?

Youve got the information.

Youve gotta decide.

What you said about what would

have happened in the room?

You know, its right.

I would have ended up staring

at the ceiling all night

while he slept like a log.

At least in New York

I could go home.

Has it always been like that?

Okay.

Ill say it.

My first time, I was fourteen.

And it was, it was okay.

But it wasnt, like, incredible.

You know, its never

really incredible.

And none of the guys

Ive been with really know

what theyre

doing, I guess.

Well, why dont you just tell em?

You really dont have

to say much, you know.

You just have to kind of

take control of the situation

move them the way you

want them to move.

Take their hands and put

them where you want them.

And if that doesnt work, then

show them, you know, yourself.

I promise you, theyre

never gonna forget it.

Ya, but it will make

me seem like a whore.

Well, youre thinking

about it the wrong way.

When youre with somebody that

you like, dont you wanna know

what makes them feel good?

Well, does my mother

know what to do?

Allyson.

No, come on, tell me.

Yes, she knows what to do.

But, um...

but not like the Russian, right?

Well, its not her fault, you know.

She, shes older.

And, um, your body changes.

Theres a, uh, a, a thickness when you.

Thickness?

Shes stick thin.

No one over fortys

stick thin, not really.

Trust me.

But she can get you off?

Yes, she can get me off.

Thats it!

Thats it.

Thats it!

You show me.

Show me.

Allyson?

Hello?

Allyson.

That was ahh...

it was fun.

We had a fun night.

Thanks for coming

up there with me.

Ill just tell my mother that I

had to go back before you cause

I had some work to catch up on.

Well, when we see each

other back at the apartment.

What, you think I never

cheated with anybody at school

and had to see their

girlfriends? Dont sweat it.

Dont worry about

a thing. Im cool.

You sure you never played cards?

Well, the

committee has met.

The official vote will be next week.

But I wanted to

give you a head start

on getting the zoning in order.

Yes, ah!

Yes. Thats great, Pete.

Thats really, really great.

Kalmen motors on the uptick.

Yeah. You suddenly had a lot

of friends in the right places.

Well, thank you. Looking forward to

working together, Pete.

As am I. You have found

a heck of a location.

I mean, it needs just the kind

of dealership you propose.

In fact, if they hadnt approved you

I probably would have

recommended getting

another dealer to open

in that very spot.

If you dont mind,

let me show you, uh...

Sure, yeah.

How many cars were

expecting you to floor plan

into the first couple of months.

Its Ben Kalmen and we

have a lot of confidence.

So, this is a celebration

all around, isnt it?

Getting your dealership on track.

Fantastic news.

About Allyson.

I cant believe you were able to

get the information so quickly.

Its fantastic.

Just fantastic.

Well, the dean, he reached out.

I mean, he telephoned me.

How sweet of you to say that.

Im sure you did quite

a bit of lobbying.

Really, mom?

You think he had to pull on the

strings that hard to get me in?

You know how those things are.

Youre a suitable candidate,

but without Bens help...

Were so lucky to have you

in our lives, right, Al?

Sure.

How about an after dinner drink?

Lets go out on the

terrace. Nice evening.

Allyson, you can have a soda.

Or, actually, since youre

going to be a college girl,

a little wine if you like.

No, its okay.

Im going out.

Ill see you later.

One drink first.

Allyson, come on.

Ill get that.

Did you get my messages?

Are you crazy?

Its so hard to talk here.

Yeah.

Thats right.

We cant talk.

Come on, Ben.

You know what

it was in Boston.

It was, it was a kick.

It was really, really fun.

But, you know, now I can check

two things off my list.

Despite the end of daddy thing.

The daddy thing?

Yeah.

And I didnt even know

it was on my list.

Or I had a list.

Now I know.

Come on.

I thought it was gonna be, you

know, the difference between

you and the guys my age.

You wouldnt go simple, you know.

Be all clingy and stuff.

Im not hanging onto

you. I just thought

maybe wed spend a little

time together, thats all.

Ben.

You need to

forget about it.

You know, I appreciate the

time you took to make me

up to the school and

and you spoke to the

dean on my behalf.

And I appreciate the

advice you gave me.

Its already worked.

What advice?

Well, you taught me to

ask for what I want.

You know, last guy

I was with, easy.

I just gave him a blow job

first before anything else.

And then another one so he could

last when we finally did it.

And then I got on top of him and

I told him exactly what to do.

And... it was awesome.

Awesome.

Hey, youre making this up.

Why would I make it up?

To put me off. To

put distance between us.

I mean, I use that

trick all the time.

But usually its because I

actually care about

someone and I.

Yeah, well, Im not.

I just said what you told

me to do when you were trying

to get me up to the room.

I wasnt trying to get

you up to the room.

It happened. Ive got to go.

Mom, Im going out.

Allyson.

Not yet.

Now, Im a pretty cool customer.

You know what I do most nights?

Try to find somebody to take

home and never see em again.

Yeah, most nights

youre not with her.

Thats beside the point.

I cant stop replaying

our time together.

Not just in the room.

When I was talking to you, um,

listening, we were connecting.

I forgot you were eighteen.

You forgot no. That I...

No, I didnt.

Everything all right?

No, of course.

Of course.

We slept together, mom.

In Boston.

Yeah.

We did.

Isnt that fantastic?

Oh, dad, you didnt.

Ask me was it worth it.

What?

Just ask me if it was worth it.

No.

Well, it was.

Youre actually gonna gloat about?

Im not gloating about it.

Im just stating something,

which is, as I sit here now,

it was worth it.

Suse, it was a night and a half.

I mean, the way an eighteen

year old body responds.

No.

No.

No way, Ben.

You cant keep dragging

her into this nonsense.

Did we wake you, honey?

Im sorry.

No. Forget about that.

I cant have you listen

to this crap anymore.

I told you it was unhealthy.

Your shrink told you

it was unhealthy.

Gary, will you stay out of my

relationship with my daughter?

My wife.

Well, Im both.

Sure.

Now you are.

Because youre what he has.

But before he blew up his

life, what were you to him?

Gary.

That is a ballsy

thing to say, Gary.

Logical, but bitter

and, uh, a little small.

I would have hoped my daughter

would have been with a bigger,

bigger man.

You know what, Ben?

I take care of her.

Im here for her, always.

Youre a great provider, Gary.

But she and I, weve

got something special.

We bleed the same.

Susan, lets go back to bed.

Ill be in, in a minute.
