The Good Guy Page #8

Synopsis: Ambitious young Manhattanite and urban conservationist Beth wants it all: a good job, good friends, and a good guy to share the city with. Of course that last one is often the trickiest of all. Beth falls hard for Tommy, a sexy, young Wall Street hot-shot. But just as everything seems to be falling into place, complications arise in the form of Tommy's sensitive and handsome co-worker Daniel. Beth soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street -- high risk, high reward and everybody has an angle.

- Tommy's ex?

- Yeah.

Which one is she?

She's the little Audrey Hepburn

In the red dress.

- That's her, isn't it?

- Yeah.

She's not that pretty.

You need to talk to her.

I don't want to make a scene.

Make a huge f***ing scene.

This has gone on long enough.

You're right.

This has gone on long enough.

Can I help you?

We've never met before, but l...

You used to date Tom Fielding, right?

Are you one of Tommy's ex-girlfriends?

Ex-girlfriends? No.

Tommy and I have been together

for three months now.

Nice necklace.

Sorry.

I ran into an old friend

on line for the bathroom.

It's okay.

Should we get the check?

Actually, I think I want to stay out tonight.

I mean, we spent the whole day inside.

Yeah, but wasn't it great?

Well, all we ever do

Is stay in and have sex...

since the first night we met.

I want to go out tonight.

But we are out.

Ciao, carissima.

Ciao, Paolo.

Tommy--

Paolo, this is Tommy.

- Ah, Tommy.

- Paolo.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

Oh, Paolo, Tommy

speaks ltalian too.

Yeah, it's a little loud in here

and I'm a little rusty, probably, so--

We speak English then, hmm?

Yeah. It's probably better for everyone.

Sure.

So, how do you guys

know each other?

Oh, I-- Okay.

So, one day, Brooke came into my studio

to make some photos.

Very nice photos, eh?

- Paolo is a genius.

- Oh, no.

- Yes.

- So,

Tommy, what is it you do?

I work at a bank--

Morgan Brothers.

- Sales trading.

- I understand. wall Street.

I get it. Money, huh? Money?

Paolo, when did you get to New York,

and why didn't you call me?

I'm only here one week.

I mean, tomorrow I have show opening,

tonight we're out to celebrate, I did--

You must join us.

To celebrate. Tonight.

Oh, come on. Huh?

Well, you wouldn't mind

If I went with them, would you?

I mean, you wanted to

go home anyway, right?

Euro-trash piece of f***ing sh*t.

If that's what you want to go home with.

I mean, f***!

Sorry about that.

Have a good evening.

Hey, Samantha, it's Thomas.

It's about 11:
00 Saturday night.

I would love to see you,

so give me a call back.

All right.

Amy. Tom.

Hey. Saturday night, about 10.

I'd love to see you.

Jen.

It's your favorite co-Worker, Tommy.

I'd love to see you,

even if it's late.

So call me back.

F***.

You should hear some of the things

he says about you.

I think I have an idea.

I spent so much time hating you.

I don't know what to believe.

Hey, Beth.

How's girls' night out going?

Tommy, I don't want to see you again.

Ever.

Whoa-- wait, Beth.

What are you talking about?

That's-- where are you?

I know about Christie, Tommy.

- Everything.

- No, what are you--

Beth, this is crazy.

No, it's not, actually.

Well, not anymore.

Who have you been talking to?

Beth. Beth!

F***.

Hey, you know what, buddy?

Change of plans.

We're gonna be staying downtown.

Coming.

Hey.

- Hey.

- what's up?

What's going on, man?

You, uh--

You haven't spoken to Beth tonight

by any chance, have you?

Well, yeah, but I didn't

think it was a big deal.

Well, it is a big deal, Daniel.

It's a big f***ing deal.

- why?

- 'Cause you told her I was f***ing Christie.

I don't even know what--

You want to f*** my girl,

don't you, you little f***ing c*nt?

I didn't say anything.

You didn't say anything?

Why would you call her, huh?

- Huh?

- She called me.

We talked for two minutes

about a book we were reading.

That's it.

Book club.

Yeah.

Oh, now I understand.

You can understand

Why I misinterpreted--

Actually, I can't, Tommy.

Hurt me as much as it did you.

I'm sure we'll be laughing

about it on Monday.

Look, I'll take you out to lunch, okay?

- Yeah.

- All right, all right.

Look, you think it over,

you get that fixed up.

Monday we'll straighten

this whole thing out.

I don't think so, Tommy.

Daniel, come on, don't--

Go home, Tommy.

Just go home.

Sounds good. Okay. Okay.

$8.20, please.

I think I lost my wallet.

$8.20, sir.

I think I lost my wallet, sir.

We can go ATM.

No, my cards are in my wallet.

But, you know,

I'll tell you what.

I have money upstairs.

If you just wait here for a couple minutes,

I'll run up, I'll grab it,

I'll bring it down for you.

Get the f*** out of my taxi.

- Hey, Beth.

- Hey.

Sorry. Um, do you

still have company?

No. No, not at all.

Are you okay?

Can I ask a favor?

You can say no, but, um...

Please don't say no, okay?

Beth, Beth, I'll be right there.

It's been a while, Tommy.

Evening, Miss Perkins.

Your place looks nice.

Did you miss me?

What did you do now?

Hi, Christie, it's Mom.

Call me when you get a chance.

Hey, it's Tommy.

I'm just gonna crash

at my place tonight, okay?

- You f***ing a**hole.

- Love you.

F***.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- what?

- Yeah.

What happened?

I guess Tommy's

having a rough night.

Tommy did that?

Why would he--

I guess he thought that I--

- That I told you about Christie.

- How would you even--

- wow. ls everybody f***ing left-handed?

- You knew?

- The whole time?

- No. Not the whole time.

Why didn't you tell me?

- I should have.

- No.

You have your job to think about,

and your friends.

Beth, I quit my job.

Those aren't my friends.

It's just you.

Baby, you're a little light here.

I know. I'll make it up to you.

I'm sorry, baby, but you know

It doesn't work that way.

Look, I lost my wallet tonight.

And I will make it up to you.

- I promise.

- Listen, motherf***er.

You will get me

my motherfucking money

or I'm gonna f***ing scream

until the f***ing cops come.

And that would f*** you a lot more

than it would f*** me.

Okay, how about we just calm down.

And I'll find a way to get

your money for you, okay?

Just give me a minute

to think about it.

Okay, baby.

Whenever you're ready.

- Irv, how's it going?

- You can't go up there, son.

I just need to talk

to Christie for a second.

You're no longer on the guest list.

Irv, look, my man,

I'm up there all the time.

Donny, show this man to the door.

I feel sorry for you, Tommy.

I do.

Thanks, baby.

Two stops, please.

So, that's how we got here.

It's not pretty.

I know.

I really don't have anything left

to say for myself.

Maybe that's a start.

So, what are you gonna do now?

I don't know.

Chris Baker,

he keeps asking me to join

him at his new place,

but I'm just not sure that's

What I want to do right now.

Have you ever been up

In a hot air balloon?

What?

Never mind.

Tommy.

Buon giorno, carissima.

Why did you come back

In that restaurant for my number?

I just couldn't be with that other girl

When all I wanted was to talk to you.

Whatever happened to her, anyway?

Just wasn't right.

When you flipped that coin,

and I said I wanted to stay,

I don't think I realized it then,

but I was thinking

about you when I said it.

I know.

So, what was it?

What was what?

Heads or tails?

Stay or leave?

That's what I thought.
