Synopsis: In Los Angeles, Nikki is homeless, car-less and closing in on 30, but he's amoral, good-looking, and adept in the sack, moving from one wealthy woman of 35 or 40 to another, a kept boy-toy. His newest gig, with Samantha, an attorney whose house overlooks L.A., is sweet, although it's unclear how long she'll put up with him. Then Nikki meets Heather, a waitress. Is the player being played, or might this be love? What will Nikki discover?

- Mom?

# Big star, big star... #

- Hello?

- # Hollywood Hollywood... #

Pick up, Mom.

# Big star, big star #

# We can make this

Hollywood Hollywood. #

When I first came here,

I thought every day was

gonna be a Van Halen video...

hot chicks wearing bikinis

riding around on roller skates

drinking cocktails by the pool.

Damn you, Van Halen.

# All the fallen leaves will find

their branches again #

# Raindrops from the heavens,

I'll eventually swim #

# A river, an ocean,

a wave in my heart #

# We got your money,

now we'll make a new start #

# All the fallen leaves

will find their branches again #

# Raindrops in the heavens

I'll eventually swim #

# River, an ocean,

a wave in my heart #

# We got your money,

now we'll make a new start #

# In another week, promise #

# In another year, I promise #

# Put your right hand

on my heart #

# Heart... #

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Swimming.

Look,

I'm sorry about what happened,

but this is not f***ing cool.

What happened?

I called you an a**hole.

I kicked you out.

I called you a whore.

I'm sorry.

That's strange.

'Cause it seems like you and I

are maybe playing the same cards.

- Yeah.

- Last time I checked, you were living

in a $5 million house. Now you're

turning tricks for a sandwich.

- I'm not turning anything.

- Tell me something, though...

out of everybody here, why her?

I don't think you understand

my situation, okay?

I'm about to get evicted

from the Sahara Motor Inn.

I'm selling my near-mint

sweaters for nine bucks.

And the club sandwich is gonna be

the first thing I've had to eat all day.

I don't really have time

to be picky.

Going up to my suite.

Are you coming?

He'd like to know if your AmEx

is silver or black?

I'll buy him a sandwich...

you ratty b*tch.

- This is us?

- Is that okay?

What? Are you scamming

a schoolteacher now?

Used car salesman.

I hate the furniture.

Don't look at it.

My roommate's a total pothead.

She never comes out of her room.

So what happened to Mercedes?

I told her it wasn't working out.

- What about the Porsche?

- Turned into an a**hole.

I got back at him though.

I sold his cigars on eBay.

Dougie.

I don't know.

Where you been looking?

Actually, I was on my way to do

some grocery shopping.

Bristol Farms on Doheny.

You said you wanted to see me.

Great.

When are you picking me up?

Perfect.

See you then, baby.

Ciao.

What do you want for dinner?

Cheers to that.

This wine would be better after 2012.

Maybe we should wait.

We're not in. Leave a message.

Hey, it's me.

You know Douglas Dukes,

that video game billionaire? I guess

he just broke up with what's-her-name.

And he and his boys

are going to Les Trois tonight.

I can't go,

but I put you on the list.

Have fun.

You gonna keep stepping

on my dress like that?

All night long I'm stepping

on your dress like that.

Two shots of tequila, please.

- Got him.

- Where?

Next to the girl in the yellow.

Not bad.

- Hmm.

- Can I have a gin and tonic?

- What are we drinking to?

- Trouble.

- Laugh.

- What?

I just said something funny.

Laugh.

Well done.

- I try.

- Any more moves?

- Can you dance?

- Can I dance?

# Why aren't you

coming anymore? #

# Why aren't you

coming anymore? #

They say you gotta kiss

a lot of frogs to find your prince.

But in this town,

everyone thinks they're royalty.

And the frogs

don't stand a chance.

- I want 15%.

- You're out of your mind.

Fine, 12.

Four and that's my final offer.

What are you, my pimp?

Look, l...

Oh man.

All I need's a blanket.

I don't need all those

sheets and everything.

I don't want you getting

your funk all over.

My funk.

Yeah, you can't wash a couch.

- Night.

- Hey, thank you.

I'd let you sleep in my bed,

but, um, I wouldn't

want you to get confused.

Good night.

The, uh, couch is...

the couch is a little short.

So, I'm... I'm just gonna...

just gonna lie

down here like this.

I'm on the side, away from you.

You won't even know I'm here.

- Okay, I'll take the couch.

- No. No no no.

No, wait. Wait.

- What?

- What are you afraid of?

You really think I'm gonna

make a pass at you?

- You're in my bed.

- And?

You don't... you don't think you can

keep your hands off me, huh?

Please!

We're adults. I think

we can control ourselves.

Whatever.

Sorry.

For what?

What? I nudged you, didn't I?

I didn't feel anything.

Well, l... l... I brushed up

against your foot like that.

I felt that.

Do you feel that?

That tickles.

Like good tickles or bad tickles?

Just tickles.

I can tell you're smiling

and I can't even see your face.

How many times

have you used that line?

Oh, I don't know.

But I'm not just saying it

to get your pants off.

My pants are already off.

Oh.

What are we doing?

Why do we have to be doing anything?

This is not a good idea.

If I don't kiss your right now,

my face is gonna fall off.

- All right.

- There.

Oh, I need more than that.

For what?

See if I like it.

If you like it?

Yeah.

Like it?

I didn't like that at all.

- Really?

- Yeah.

So none of that was true?

I don't have a brother.

Well, I knew that.

But I'm from Canada.

I'm sorry about that.

So when'd you decide to stop

playing Mata Hari with me?

What makes you

so sure I stopped?

You're two drinks in

and you're already bragging

about all your lies.

I could drink you

under the table.

- Oh come on.

- Oh my God...

- Nikki, hi.

- Hey.

- How are you? Hi.

- Hey.

Hey, remember me?

Yeah, of course.

- What's my name?

- Your name.

My name.

I'm blanking out.

Um, I'm blanking.

You don't remember.

That was f***ed up.

- Sorry.

- Don't be sorry.

She's a jerk.

Chew this into your food.

- Mm?

- Yeah.

- Oh... ah!

- Oh my God. Waiter!

- How can I assist?

- I don't want to cause a scene,

but there's garbage in the food.

We're leaving now.

- Wow.

- I'm sorry, sir.

- Come on.

- Yeah, I'm coming, honey.

How long do you think

it takes for it to set?

- I don't know, like 20 seconds?

- See the dolphin?

You see the dolphins?

There's freaking dolphins out there.

- Oh!

- See it?

- Yeah.

- There's freaking dolphins.

# When I'm lost #

# You bring me back #

# When I don't know #

# Where to go #

# And it feels #

# Like I'm alone #

# When I hang #

- # My head down low... #

- Bye, baby.

Bye.

- # I think of you... #

- Where are you going?

Out. I'll be back in a bit.

# Each night #

# You wait #

# Outside my door #

# 'Cause you want to know #

# Oh, whoa... #

# I think of you #

# When I fall into a snare #

# And it's all too much to bear #

# When I think nobody cares #

# I think of you. #

Hey.

Hey.

You all right?

Hey.

What happened?

I just kinda broke up

with someone.

You gotta f***ing

be kidding me.

He's my fianc.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now.

When's the last time

you talked to him?

Yesterday.

When's the last time

you saw him?

- Don't do this.

- Don't do what?

What am I doing?

Like it's a big surprise.
