Friends With Benefits Page #2

Empire State Building.

No, no, no, no. No. The other one.

The really, really tall one

with the antenna on top of it, the windows.

That is Empire State Building.

Oh, yeah. You're right. King Kong.

Hey...

Oh, hey! Are you done with this?

All met up?

Great. Welcome to New York,

Ms. Penderghast.

Yeah.

Oh, no. Excuse me. Sorry.

Okay.

- Can you hand me my bag?

- Sure. Which one?

- The one with the straps.

- Okay.

There.

Okay.

- Thank you.

- Welcome to New York, sir.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.

That's me.

Which one, the blue or the yellow?

No. The makeshift sign made

out of lipstick, that's me.

- You're Dylan Harper.

- I am.

I'm Jamie Rellis.

- You're picking me up from the airport.

- Hi. Yes, I am.

You always pick people up like this?

Yeah, you know,

I like to keep things interesting.

- Welcome to New York.

- Thank you.

You're not exactly what comes to mind

when you think headhunter.

Yeah, I prefer "executive recruiter."

Headhunter sounds a little creepy.

You did stalk me for six months.

Kind of creepy.

Here, here, here, I'll take it.

You're really gonna carry my bag?

You're that girl?

No. I'm gonna change your life.

I'm that girl.

My life is already pretty great.

Oh, really? 'Cause you wouldn't be here

if your life were already pretty great.

A free trip to New York.

I'd be an idiot to turn that down.

Well, then I guess you must have been

an idiot for the past six months.

Yeah, a lot of people

would say longer than that.

It's a huge opportunity Dylan.

Art director of GQ magazine.

This is the big leagues.

I mean, no offense to your little blog

on the Internet.

Which got six million hits last month.

I could put up a video of me mixing

cake batter with my b*obs

and it will get eight million hits.

It's been done. Dunkin-My-Tits-Hynes.com.

Really?

Well, look, there's no question that

you are talented at what you do,

but this is GQ.

New York's so crowded.

Look around. I'm from LA, okay?

- I like my open spaces.

- What are you, a gazelle?

Come on,

what's really worrying you about this?

I don't know. I don't want to be the guy

who took something legendary

and sh*t the bed with it.

Excuse the expression.

Well, then don't be the guy who sh*t the bed.

Excuse the expression.

Be the guy

who made the bed legendary again.

Listen, we'll get some coffee in you

before the interview. You'll be fine.

I'm sorry, not coffee.

Some green tea, soy, organic hemp bullshit.

Really hot in New York.

Doesn't it get hot in LA?

Yeah, it gets hot in LA,

but it's the humidity.

In LA, if it's 90 degrees,

it feels like 90 degrees. But...

- Right.

- If it's hot in New York,

it's 90 degrees, it's like 100,000 degrees.
