The Sure Thing Page #6

since Arizona.

- See you around.

- That's it?

- "See you around"?

- lsn't that what you want?

No questions asked? No strings attached?

No guilt involved?

Have fun with your sure thing.

- I bought this for you.

- I bought it!

It's the thought that counts.

Here we are.

Here, let me take that from you.

It's really great to see you.

I cleared out this drawer for you.

And you can use this half of the closet.

I bought some of those hangers

you like so much.

We'll just put your bags up there

after you've unpacked...

get them out of the way.

It's so good to see you.

Look.

Flannel sheets.

You know, the longer you use them,

the softer they get.

By the time we find our farmhouse...

my goodness,

they'll be incredible, won't they?

Are you all right?

Yes. Great.

- I guess I'm just exhausted from the trip.

- Tired.

Those sheets are great.

- I know what you need.

- What?

A good hot mug of tea.

Restores both body and spirit.

Let's see what we have this week.

Let's see, we've got some Darjeeling...

English Breakfast.

That's more of a studying tea, isn't it?

Let's see, Lapsang Souchong,

for those rainy mornings.

Earl Grey.

Remember that camping trip to Vermont?

Of course. China Black.

How about a good hot mug of China Black?

Do you have any beer?

Walter Gibson.

Private Gibson, incoming!

How are you doing, buddy?

- How are you?

- Good to see you. Looking good.

Looking good. Glad you made it.

Welcome to California...

home of the waves and the babes.

I want you to meet some people.

Guys, this is Gib, the guy I told you about.

I said he'd make it.

- Hey, dude.

- Nice to meet you.

I really respect that.

Tonight is the night, Gib, man.

- Merry Christmas.

- I love you.

I don't think she believes me.

- Why is that, man?

- I don't know.

You are gonna love California.

You ever make it with an avocado?

Party!

Gin.

Let's see, that makes 25 for me...

plus...

so, 25 plus 43 is...

Can I borrow that?

Sorry.

There you go.

...which makes the score 233 for me...

and 8 for you.

Charming.

It sounds like someone's having a party.

Let's go. It'll be fun.

You know how we feel about parties.

They're hot, loud and crowded.

The only reason anyone goes to them

is to pick someone up.

Now, why would we want to do that?

- Let's go to Disneyland.

- Disneyland is for children.

Let's do something pointless,

something totally crazy.

- All right. I tell you what.

- What?

I'll spot you 50 points.

That'll add some excitement to the game.

I really don't want to wear this stuff.

I really don't.

- What do you mean? You look fantastic.

- Come with me.

What's the first thing you'll do

when you meet her?

Shave my head

and join a Polynesian monastery.

- What do you mean?

- Tito. Isn't that nice?

- What are you doing?

- Like that?

- What's going on?

- I look like a moron.

What do you mean, you look like a moron?

Look at me.

You don't like green? s that it?

- I'll get you blue, or the red.

- I don't want anyone.

- Come on.

- Because I don't.

What do you mean, because you don't?

What is that?

You know what?

You happen to be developing

a very bad attitude, young man.

Don't move, because she's here.

It's her. Look.

Tonight is the first night

of the rest of your sex life.

You're gonna kill me.

I don't think I can go through with this.

- I knew it. The breasts are too small?

- Breasts are fine.

- Hi, how you doing?

- How are you?

- This is a drink for you.

- ls that him?

- Yeah.

- He's cute.

He's kind of going through

a little climate adjustment.

And so we're gonna be with you

in just a minute.

So why don't you just go over there

and look for something, okay?

- All right.

- I love you, babe. You look good.

What's the problem?

What's wrong with you?

I don't know. I'm almost 19.

Maybe I'm getting too old for this.

What do you want?

A goddamn relationship?

I don't know what I want.

- Maybe it's a moral issue.

- Moral issue?

This is Lance you're talking to.

You have no morals.

You're just in a slump, that's all.

It happens to the best of us.

It could happen to me someday.

I doubt it, but it could. You nervous?

Get out!

You're nervous,

because you haven't done it in a while.

It's like riding a bike.

You just got to climb on and keep pedaling.

And wear something white at night.

You want a relationship? That's fine.

Just remember that every relationship

starts with a one-night stand.

You came 3,000 miles for a reason,

didn't you?

Would you look at that reason?

Go for it, you've earned it.

- Lance, you're right.

- That's right.

I'm not being unfaithful to anyone.

Hell, I could use a torrid night

of cheap, meaningless lust.

That's right, buddy. There you go.

Look at these people.

They probably think

they're having a good time.

Let's dance.

- Since when do you like to dance?

- Since tonight.

That's a nice shirt.

From Hawaii.

It's been a long time

since I've held you like this.

I know.

Lance said you were very shy around girls.

Did he mention what a great dancer I am?

What else did Lance tell you about me?

He says you're a real gourmet.

- And you're a virgin.

- What?

He thinks you might be gay.

I didn't say it. Lance said it.

Excuse me, won't you?

I have to go kick the sh*t out of someone.

Just one second.

- You told her I was a virgin?

- I exaggerated a little.

Girls like virgins.

They find them a challenge.

- You told her I was gay!

- lt's a bigger challenge.

Keep your shirt on, buddy,

you're doing great.

Excuse me. I see a sweet young thing

whose sarong needs adjusting.

Get out of my life.

Excuse me, I'd like to get some punch.

Please, allow me.

- Thank you.

- You're very welcome.

She's got lovely skin, and so much of it.

She happens to be an excellent judge

in quality shirt wear.

She should try wearing one, sometime.

- Would you like a cup for Justin?

- Jason.

- Whatever. He probably eats paste.

- Justin's twice the man you'll ever be.

Jason.

- He's loyal, he's trustworthy-

- Housebroken?

Do you know this person?

Not really.

- Would you like a drink?

- No, thank you.

Jason, let's go to bed.

Careful, she hogs all the blankets.

- You snore.

- Not tonight, I won't.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

How would you like to go up

to Lance's room for a drink?

All right.

Let's go.

Good night.

- He doesn't even know that girl!

- How do you know that guy?

It was all set up by his friend.

He thinks love is something

you order on the phone, like a pizza!

- How do you know he snores?

- He thinks he knows all about stars.

He doesn't know Cassiopeia's

the mother of Andromeda.

- How's he know you hog the blankets?

- The crap he eats...

cheese balls and beer for breakfast!

How do you know

what he eats for breakfast?

Come on in.

Want to sit down?

- Do you want me to?

- Why don't you sit down?

All right.

- Do you want a drink?

- Sure.

Great.

Thanks.

That's strong.

Lance sure does drink a lot of beer.
