Vanilla Sky Page #5

- Let's invest.

- Oh, baby, this was war.

I grew stronger in ways

I'd never known before.

And on December 5...

my planes filled the sky.

The return of David Aames,Jr...

Citizen Dildo.

You won't believe this...

but this is me smiling.

It's been a long time.

I tried to see you,

but your people wouldn't let me.

I didn't want to see me, okay?

But then...

I woke up today

and finally...

a good hair day.

You wanna get together?

Sure.

- What?

- Let's go out and do something.

This weekend.

I'll cancel an operation or two.

We'll have fun...

because I am all about fun.

Okay, folks, our first guest tonight

is an amazing survival story.

Please welcome Benny the dog.

So welcome to the show.

Thank you very much for being here.

- You bet. My pleasure.

- I have so many questions.

To start off, tell us all

what has happened to Benny.

What's Benny been through?

Well, Benny fell into the water

near our home.

And he was frozen

in the Skykomish River.

In Washington.

I went fishing, thinking he'd

been gone now for three months.

And I see him

in a block office.

He is thawed out now.

Is that correct?

He's not moving a lot.

I'm worried.

Should I get out some tongs?

I'm worried about the dog.

No, he's fine. He's just lost

a little bit of his friskiness.

I would think so, yeah.

It's David.

I'm back in your life.

I saw you earlier today.

I was just watching

our old friend Benny the dog...

on Conan...

and I thought of you.

Whatever.

I loved seeing you today.

So I will see you soon.

You're a great dancer.

Bye.

- What you drinking'?

- Nothing.

I'm in the mood for a cheap,

sugary, overpriced rum and Coke.

- So you want one?

- Is there any other kind?

I'll get us some.

Where is the bathroom?

It's behind--

over there by the place...

by the girl who looks like Bjork.

- I'll be right back.

- Maybe I should--

Hey, man, you look good.

How's your book?

- Take it off.

- No, this is a facial shield.

It's an aesthetic prosthesis

these f***ing doctors--

Take off the mask, man.

It's freaking me out.

I can't.

It's my face.

This is my face.

Trust me.

It's a little different.

If you're embarrassed, just go.

Nobody asked you to chaperone.

- Sofia asked me.

- What?

She didn't want to be alone with me?

That's bullshit!

Because I think I'm being pretty

f***ing cool about this whole thing.

Talk to a shrink.

Or you can call me sometime

instead of hiding in your apartment.

Don't take it out on a girl

you only met once.

Did she say that--

once?

Did she say

that I met her once?

Just cut it out, okay?

I miss the old you.

We all miss the old you...

because the new guy is sh*t.

That came out wrong.

I love you.

Period.

- How's your arm, man?

- F*** you, Brian.

How 'bout...

no sympathy.

How 'bout that's

the deal we make, okay?

Give me a Budweiser

and a shot of tequila.

What kind of tequila?

- What did you say to me?

- I said, what kind of tequila?

Why don't you ask me

to my face, b*tch?

Patron, if you have it.

Another shot, another Bud.

- This is on the house.

- Why?

It just is, b*tch.

Patron!

Dude, fix your f***ing face.

- Hello again.

- Hello again.

Idea.

Let's start over.

How 'bout if you help me?

Unless I'm horning in here.

Oh, you are,

but the food is good.

See, I've got this little problem.

I've got a stalker.

Doesn't sound life-threatening.

I need a cover.

I need for you to pretend that we're

having a scintillating conversation...

and you are wildly entertained.

I know it's tough.

I'll improvise.

I don't talk like that.

She's right across the room.

She's burning a hole in my back now.

Red dress, strappy shoes.

That's right.

I think she is the saddest girl...

to ever hold a martini.

- Are you okay?

- No.

Why? What's wrong?

Is it me?

- Is it me?

- I'll tell you later.

- I'll tell you later.

- Something's wrong. Tell me now.

Talk about it all right now.

- Talk about it. Get it all out.

- I'll tell you later!

Say everything now.

Just say everything now.

Now! Now! Now!

I'll tell you in another life,

when we are both cats.

I can't believe

you just said that.

That is the greatest thing

that I've ever heard.

That's hilarious

that you said that.

See, that-- You said that.

That is what I love about you.

That's hilarious.

I'll tell you in another life,

when we are both cats.

Cats!

Cats!

Well, this is where I leave you.

I'll walk you to your door.

- I live just around the corner.

- I've got my bike here.

- I'd rather walk.

- Don't be a drag.

Can't you see

she wants to go on her own?

Shut up. You're drunk.

I may be an idiot,

but I'm not drunk.

Seriously, I don't need you

to walk me home.

Thank you.

Okay, then.

So we'll call you.

We'll go catch a movie

or something.

So we'll meet up soon.

We'll meet up soon.

We'll call you again

to go out with me!

We'll call you.

It's been a real blast.

I bid you good evening.

Wait, wait.

Where are you going?

My bike-- it's back over there.

We'll hang soon.

And bring your mask if you want.

I'm getting used to it.

Wait a minute.

What?

I don't know.

You drank a little too much.

Call me tomorrow if you want.

Tomorrow I'll wish I was dead.

No, you won't.

You just need to sleep.

What?

What did you say to Julie Gianni

the night of the accident?

What?

You told her

she was a f*** buddy.

Never.

She was a little more

than pissed about it.

Have you been harboring

this sh*t all along?

I never talked to her.

Whatever.

Anyway...

who am I if I can't be the one

to tell you you're not ugly?

Come on.

Give me a courtesy laugh.

Oh, Brian, I'm so f***ed up.

I'm just so f***ed up.

Hey, Brian, come on.

We're best friends!

We're bros!

Come on, man, we're bros.

Open your eyes.

This is a cheap ploy

for sympathy.

I'm okay. I'm okay.

And it worked. Get up.

I agree.

This is a joke.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

I liked the way you looked.

But...

you have to pull it

the f*** together.

Because if not,

I'll forget the other guy.

You know that other guy?

You.

I'm still that guy.

I'm still that guy.

I don't have a mother-savior bone

in my body.

It's not about that.

You are coming inside.

But if this turns out

to be a big mistake...

I do have the ability

to fall out of love with you...

like that.

We created

our own world together.

- I am still that guy.

- Shut up.

Us versus them.

- Where's Brian?

- Brian?

He went with you, didn't he?

I thought you guys hooked up.

I wish you hadn't gotten

in the car with that girl.

Sofia, I--

Your eyes apologize better.

Come on.

Holy God, this is going

to change my life...

in a zillion different ways.

I must be nuts.

And we were quite a pair.

Her believing in me,

me believing that...

I actually deserved it.

I see you haven't

been wasting your time.

Do you ever draw

anything else?

Did you sleep last night?

No, I did not sleep.

Got to leave early today,

so you'll have to be brief.

Now, what can you tell me...
