MR. BINKS

What happens when you lose your jobbecause the music industry isdownsizing because no one buysrecords anymore?

AARON:

I guess I’ll just have to resort tomy previous work -- male escort.

Daphne snickers. Her parents do not.

DAPHNE:

Mom, you want to take a tour of thebuilding?

INT. AARON AND DAPHNE’S LOFT APARTMENT

Aaron’s awkwardly sitting in silence with Daphne’s dad in theliving room.

AARON:

How’s the corporate law these days?

MR. BINKS

It’s a job. Aaron, I just wantedto say something to you. I can see

how much you care for my daughter.

AARON:

I do, sir. Very much. Honestly,

and I know, I’m young, but I hopeto one day marry her.

MR. BINKS

Don’t call me sir.

AARON:

MR. BINKS

Yeah.

AARON:

I didn’t even notice.

MR. BINKS

Well, you did.

I’m... sorry?

MR. BINKS

You don’t and they aren’t. You’re

not right for her. She’s a flightygirl. She needs someone more

grounded.

8.

AARON:

She’s an amazing sculptor. It justtakes a while to break into the art

world.

(clearly repeated from a

speech Daphne has said)

You have to apprentice first andeven just to get the apprenticeshipcan take years but art isn’t aboutmoney, it’s about --

MR. BINKS

I’m not going to debate mydaughter’s future with you. She’s

a cute girl who needs to land arich husband before she pops out afew grand kids and ends up teachingart in an elementary school.

AARON:

I think she’s talented.

MR. BINKS

The world has too much talent and

not enough customers. Here’s the

deal:
quit playing house like alittle girl. You’re in the music

biz. Go out, party like a rockstar, experiment with drugs, goapeshit crazy so you don’t end updoing it later in life. Move in

with a couple best male friends andlive it up. Now’s the time.

AARON:

I already live with my best friend.

Daphne’s my best friend.

MR. BINKS

No, she isn’t.

Daphne and her mom return to the apartment.

MRS. BINKS

Well that was fun. I love yourneighborhood. It’s so... urban.

We should go before it gets anydarker.
