New York City Serenade Page #2

I can't imagine how

with that performance.

- What do you mean?

- Talk about overacting!

What?

I was being convincing.

(sighs)

I hate lying to her like that.

Well, don't lie then.

Next time, don't keep saying all that

"if it's too much of a hassle" sh*t.

Hey, I don't know what you're

talking about. I was realistic.

Yeah well,

it sounded phony as hell.

(instrumental music playing)

(bass beat thumping)

- I don't know, man.

- What's wrong?

What? I think this might

be a private party.

- We weren't even invited.

- We sure were.

- That dude Pete told me about it.

- Yeah,

he told you about it.

That's not the same as inviting us.

Let's not overthink it, pal,

all right?

It's fine.

I know these people. Come on.

They're good friends of mine.

I'm gonna go grab beers.

Stop being a pansy and try

to have some fun.

Hi.

Hi.

Owen.

Sorry?

Owen.

Rachel.

Hi.

So, are you a student?

So you guys didn't happen to

see a satchel in here, did you?

I seem to have misplaced

my satchel.

I thought I left it in here.

- You're not supposed to smoke in here.

- Mind your business, kid.

You guys didn't see

a bunch of important papers

inside a satchel?

I mean, really important papers.

The band I'm in,

we just signed a contract...

a record deal.

You ever heard of that?

(both laugh)

I know.

Crazy, right?

Figures a guy like me

would leave a three...

or four... actually

$4 million contract lying around.

You know?

- Sir?

- Buzz off.

- Are you a friend of Bertrand?

- Who's that?

My brother.

It's his party.

Oh, Bertrand? Of course.

Like a brother to me.

I've bailed his ass out of hot water

more than once.

Where is that little rascal?

I've been looking all over for him.

- Where do you know him from?

- From Paris.

- You ever hear of it?

- You are so full of sh*t.

(both giggle)

Here's the deal:
Who wants to party?

Raise your hands.

(girl giggling)

Mmm! Mmm, ahh!

Sir, I'm fairly certain

you weren't invited here.

Listen, little buddy, I already told you

once to stop bothering me, didn't I?

Now go and get yourself

a soda.

You're sure this is the place?

This is the address

Ray gave me.

Oh.

Seeing some fine

college-age ladies up in here.

- Word.

- Need to adjust our approach

- to suit the crowd. And hello.

- Word up.

What say we go get our drink on

and let the games begin?

I'm totally down with that.

Oh, hello.

What are you doing?

He's totally going

through everything.

Hey, you'd better not go in there.

- Vintage cherry.

- (girls giggling)

Ladies, come on.

You know Bertrand and I

go way back.

He's so funny.

Oh my God.

What exactly

are you looking for?

Jackpot.

(both moaning)

Wait.
