Nothing in Common Page #2

Donovan?

No, don't, Donovan.

David, I know that you've received at

least two other offers from agencies.

Turn them down or I'm gonna

throw you out your new window.

Charlie, they're not gonna

make me a partner.

Partner?

Boile, Gargas, Lionel and Basner?

Like John, Paul,

George and Ringo.

- You're pretty cocky.

- No, just pretty capable.

Oh, sure, in creating cute

and flashy commercials.

- You have to bring in new accounts.

- Just watch me.

Here's one.

Make it up right there.

Yes.

Don't you know I feel for you?

You pay him.

- I'm dancing, I'm not embarrassed.

- You're drunk.

I'm having a drink.

Run it by.

Yo, Davey.

Meet Sheila and Louise.

- Louise.

- Louise. Great.

How's the wife?

Did you lose the wedding ring?

- David, this is my friend Sam.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.

I'm glad you got the job and I didn't.

Honest. I mean that.

- Will you drive him home?

- What will I tell my folks?

Sorry, boss.

- Jo-Jo, give me a stout.

- Beer's on us, Basner.

Thank you.

Hey, nice. What?

- See those Burnett Agency

hot shots? - Jo-Jo's on it.

That's why you're the boss.

Some big outfit wants

to switch ad agencies.

What big outfit? Their computer,

their cosmetics line?

- It's an airline, okay?

- Well, which one?

- I'll drop a microphone in

their drinks. - Just go find out.

I'll fix you up with Cameron.

You like Cameron?

Well, yeah.

Okay.

Just don't be too obvious.

Go easy on him.

I might need him at the office.

Another round?

Uh-uh.

Mm.

I gotta run.

Got a hot date.

Who's got a hot date?

I wanna talk to you.

Keep your mouth shut.

- Wait. Can we talk a minute?

- No, we can't.

You told me you liked scuba-diving

and you raised seahorses as a kid.

- Yes, I did.

- And you like to... Oh!

Tell me, are you involved

with anybody?

Yes. No.

Well...

Does self-involved count?

No phone calls.

I left expressed orders

not to be disturbed.

You've reached David Basner.

I'm looking for new voice

for commercial voiceovers.

And you could be it if I

like this, your audition.

So leave your name and number.

Ready? Action.

It's Max.

Max Basner, your father.

Maybe you heard of me.

I thought you'd like to know

your mother left me today.

- What?

- Oh, you're there.

Yeah, I'm here.

What is this about Mom?

You got a girl there?

Anybody you know?

That's funny.

What is this about Mom?

I'm not talking English, huh?

Thirty-six years of marriage

and she walks out.

She took clothes.

She took pots, pans, the blender.

It's 12:
00 at night, and I'm alone

with a meatloaf wrapped in tinfoil.

Dad, I'm sure this is

a misunderstanding.

It's not a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding, you take

a toothbrush, not the blender.
