Amateur Night Page #2

Synopsis: Guy Carter is an award-winning graduate student of architecture. He's got a beautiful wife and a baby on the way. The problem? He doesn't have "his ducks in a row," which only fuels his doubts about being a good father. Guy has been trying to find work in his field for a year with no luck. At wit's end, his wife Anne finds him a job as a 'driver' on Craigslist. Guy shows up for the interview thinking he'll be delivering pizzas, but quickly realizes it's a job driving prostitutes. With money too scarce to turn down, he goes for it- which is where he meets Nikki, the tough-as-nails, unapologetic sex worker, and her two hilarious and foul-mouthed cohorts, Jaxi and Fallon. As reluctant driver and protector Guy is thrust into a world of rockin' women and feeble men. Over the course of one wild and sordid night, and several 'come-to-Jesus' moments, Guy proves to Nikki, and himself, that he does have what it takes to be the responsible father his family deserves.

Like a cop.

No, he's not a real cop.

I can promise you

he will not hit on you.

How do I know?

'Cause he's gay.

Gay as f***.

Real gay.

No, he got a sweet ride.

A Volvo.

Yeah, yeah.

Don't get pissy with me.

I'm trying to hook you up.

Sit.

Okay, bye.

You O negative?

No, I'm...

I'm not talking to you.

Uh-huh.

Right.

Are you O negative?

No, I'm... I'm not talkin' to you.

Hold up.

All right,

I love you too. Bye.

You the one just called?

Yeah, I'm Guy.

I'm Zoley. Congratulations.

You're hired.

Okay... Well,

what am I gonna be driving?

Pizzas?

Dry cleaning? What?

Girls. The first one's

named Nikki.

Huh.

You didn't mention that

in your ad.

It's all above board, man.

You're not doin'

anything illegal,

you're just drivin' a car.

Pickin' up, droppin' off.

Easy as cake.

What are the benefits?

Well, you play your cards right,

there can be

all kinds of benefits.

Know what I'm sayin'?

Guy, you about this life,

or what?

No, no no no...

I'm... Yes... I'm...

I'm about this life.

Okay, all right.

Mm-hmm. Okay, sweet.

Here's where she's at.

Oh, whoa. Now?

You want me to start now?

Right now, yes.

Nikki is waitin'.

And Nikki do not like to wait.

Hi. I'm Guy.

Guy, with the sweet ride, Guy?

That'd be me.

Call me Nikki, Nikki Winters.

And next time, don't be late.

So where are we going?

Bel-Air.

Please

proceed to the highlighted route.

Want music?

Smooth jazz is good.

Not what I would've guessed.

My life's hectic enough.

I don't need my music to be.

You realize, we're still late.

Yeah... I got a ticket

going through a yellow.

So now I just stop.

So about this client,

I've been with him before.

He's a doctor.

Pretty basic.

Just walk me to the door,

and let him know you'll be

outside in the car.

I thought the job was just

dropping off and picking up?

"The job" is being my driver.

That's a ride and protection.

You carry a weapon?

Me? A weapon? No, I do

not carry a weapon.

What about karate?

You know karate?

I have zero skills

in the lethal arts.

I'm an architect.

I know how to draw.

Never mind, I got my own

protection right here.

Great. I'll let you handle

that part of the operation.

And what about you?

How did you get into

this line of work?

Well, it's not exactly

an everyday job.

Well, that depends where

you spend every day.

I grew up in the Valley.

Every girl I know did a porno

by the time she was eighteen.

Or at least a stripping gig.

But you're still doing it.

Yeah,

'cause I'm good at it.

I don't get

what the big deal is.

Nobody asks a carpenter

why they became a carpenter.

Fair enough.

Hello, stranger.

It's been too long.

My driver.

Great house.
