The Perfect Guy Page #2

---

And most ah de youths them waste it

And when dem waste it

that's when dem take the guns replace it

Then dem don't stand a chance at all

Two beers.

And that's why ah nuff little youth

have up some fat 'matic

With the extra magazine

inna dem back pocket

And ah a bleach a night time

inna some blackjacket

All who nah lock Glocks

ah dem a lock rocket

Fallen people

Listen up!

It's never too late to change our luck

So don't let them steal your light

Eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh

Don't let them break your stride

Eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh

There is light on the other side

And you'll see all the raindrops

falling behind

It's a revolution

Make it out tonight

It's a revolution

It's a revo...

I can't even describe it.

I haven't been kissed

like that in a long time.

So, what are you waiting for?

I don't know.

Maybe I want to leave it as

one of those fantastic memories.

Or, you could stop being

such a wimp and see where this goes!

Who knows? He might be the perfect guy.

I thought you didn't believe in all that.

Oh, I don't, but we both know you do.

Where is he? Don't tell me he's not coming.

- He's outside on the phone.

- Mmm.

What?

Girl, you're making me nervous. Stop it!

Carter, this is Alicia.

Hi, Alicia, how are you?

And Karen.

- Well, hello.

- Nice to meet you.

Listen, I have to, uh, run to the...

Sorry, it's a really long drive.

Wow.

Does he have a brother?

Your children are

absolutely beautiful.

Thank you.

- You're very lucky.

Thank you. You're too sweet.

A toast to the most important

job on the planet.

So, how did you

come to appreciate mothers like that?

Single mom raise you?

Just jump right in

with the personal questions.

It's all right.

I'm adopted, actually.

My parents were great,

but they're both gone now, so it's just me.

I'm sorry.

Did you ever try to find

your biological parents?

- Karen!

- Oh...

No desire to.

Why not?

They didn't care enough

about me to keep me.

As a kid, do you know

how that made me feel?

Like I wasn't good enough.

So, why waste time looking for them?

I'm sorry.

- Well, I have to confess...

- Please don't.

No, no, it's just that we heard

a lot of great things about you,

and, frankly, most people

don't live up to the hype.

- Karen.

No, she's right.

You sounded too good to be true.

I mean, I was starting

to think she was lying.

It was laid on a little thick.

But, you're all right.

- Oh, well.

- Yeah, you're all right.

Hmm.

Oh, I think I forgot my key.

I got a spare.

Rusty!

What are you doing out here?

Is everything okay over there?

I heard someone scream.

Hey, Mrs. McCarthy.

It was just Rusty.

He startled me, that's all.

Oh, this is Carter, my boyfriend.

This is Mrs. McCarthy.

Pleasure to meet you.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

I've been wanting

to ask you something.

But I'm afraid it might be too soon.

- Yes.

- I haven't even asked you yet.

For you, it would always be "yes".

Sorry.

Do you wanna come with me this weekend

to my parents', for the Fourth?

It's kind of special,

because it's also my dad's birthday.

Huh.

Don't worry, you're gonna love him.

He's an insane, crazy baseball fan.

Yes.

Nervous?

No.

Just relax and be yourself.

- They're gonna love you.

- All right.

There she is! My girl!

Daddy! Mom!

- Oh, sweetie!

- Hi!

You look good.

- This is for you. Happy birthday.

- Aw!

Oh, thank you.

- Hello.

- Mom, Dad,

this is Carter.

It's so nice to meet you, Carter.

Glad you could make it.

Uh, Mrs. Vaughn, the pleasure is all mine.

These are gorgeous.

- Mr. Vaughn?

- Oh, please!

Evelyn and Roger.

Let's go get some water.

Long drive.

You like baseball?

Love baseball, actually.

I played in high school.

Yeah? What position?

Pitcher.

Well, then, I guess you won't mind

parking it here tomorrow

and watching the Giants game.

- I wish I could.

- What's going on in here?

Thank you, darling.

He says he can't watch the game tomorrow

because he got all kinds of plans.

Plans?

Well, it's just that I got these two tickets

to the Giants game, tomorrow.

And I was wondering if you'd go with me.

Let me see those.

- These are behind home plate.

Front row.

What do you say, Mr. Vaughn?

Son, you can call me Roger.

This is Justine's old room, Leah's sister.

Now, it gets a little hot in here,

so you're gonna wanna

open up these windows.

Mom, you,

you're putting him in here? Seriously?

Uh, Leah, let's not have this discussion.

- You know the rules.

- Mother, I am a grown woman.

It's okay.

This is perfect. Thank you.

- Thank you. Good night.

Mmm.

- Good night.

- Good night.

What are you doing?

This is your parents' house, okay?

- Yeah, right.

- No, no, no.

They want us to sleep apart.

You got to be kidding me.

Do I, do I look like I'm kidding?

Now take your little hussy self

back into that hallway

and go get in your own bed.

Go on.

Go on.

You don't know what you're missing.

Close the door on your way out.

Slut.

You are unbelievable!

Think Daddy likes him?

Mmm, probably likes him as much

as he can like any guy

that's interested in his baby girl.

You know, you haven't brought a boy home

in a long time,

and you never brought Dave here.

I don't know, this just feels different.

How did you know Daddy was the one?

Honestly?

I guess it was his perseverance.

I was young and playing hard to get,

and he told me that

I was the love of his life.

He wasn't gonna take "no" for an answer.

Funny how things work out.

What a...

Did you get my Daddy drunk?

We saw a no-hitter!

A no-hitter, baby!

Where's my beautiful woman?

- Let me get out the way.

Yeah!

Yeah!

- What took you so long?

- Mmm.

What did you go and do to my Daddy?

Oh, I think I just made

the boyfriend hall of fame.

I couldn't wait till I got home.

- Honey, honey.

- Hmm?

Thank you for this magnificent meal

you have provided us

and the two beautiful women

who prepared it.

We thank you, too, Lord,

for allowing us to share this day

with our new friend, Carter,

who has shown us kindness

and generosity,

and who will forever be welcome

in our home.

Amen.

I just want to say that, uh...

Thank you.

Thank you.

What?

What?

It's just...

I don't want much

I just wanna be a better man

I love you, Leah.

Mmm-mmm

Meet me off good luck

I was singing with them Jezebels

Under perfume sheets, mmm-hmm

Got a golden smile

Good evening.

What can I do for you?

Beautiful.

I've never seen one

in such good condition before.

I mean, maybe in a magazine,

or at a car show, once.

How many miles do you have on it?

I have no idea.

It's my boyfriend's car.

Hey, would you mind terribly

if I took a picture of this car?

You see, I've been wanting

to restore one just like it.

I'm sure that's fine. Maybe ask my...

Carter!

Carter!

Carter, stop it!

Stop it!

Carter!

Carter, stop!

Stop it!

Stop it, Carter! Please!

Get your hands off of him! Now!

Get in the car.

Get in the car!

I called the cops!
