Beach Pillows Page #3

Synopsis: Once-promising writer Morgan Midwood works at his father's furniture store to save up enough money to buy an engagement ring for his high school sweetheart and presumed saving grace. However, when he discovers she's been making a cuckold of him, he enters a tailspin-getting arrested, evicted, and fired in short order-and seems content to move home with his parents and embrace a life of anonymity and failed promise. At the same time, Morgan's carefree, underachieving best friend Nick, who has arguably exacerbated Morgan's troubles, finally decides to take some stock in his own life, championing a revolutionary piece of furnishing for sale in Morgan's father's store. Over the course of a Long Island summer full of love, laughs, heartbreak, and self-discovery, these two friends ride a violent and hilarious wave teeming with women, family, cops, and cons, hoping not to get swallowed under.

I MEAN, THEY'RE PRETTY CLEAN.

MAYBE YOU GOT TO GET A COFFEE

OR COOKIE.

WELL, IT JUST SORT OF

WELL, THAT HAPPENS.

[SIGHS]

I'M SORRY, OKAY?

CAMPBELL FORGO TO LEAVE ME A KEY.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DID NOT DO ANYTHING.

LOOK, I REALLY THOUGH I-I KNEW WHERE IT WAS, OKAY?

I FORGOT. I'M... I'M SORRY.

I FEEL STUPID.

NO, STUPID.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WAS STUPID.

WHAT WAS STUPID WAS THREATENING

THE MAN WITH A GOLF CLUB.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU?

MEN DO NOT USE WEAPONS.

MEN USE THEIR HANDS!

DAD, I WASN'T GONNA

DO ANYTHING.

- MEN USE THEIR HANDS!

- I WASN'T GONNA DO ANYTHING!

OKAY! HE GETS IT!

WE ALL GET IT!

[SIGHS]

YOUR FATHER AND I

THINK IT WOULD BE BES IF YOU MOVED HOME FOR A WHILE.

WHAT?

AT LEAST UNTIL YOU SHOW

SOME MOTIVATION,

SOME CONCEPT OF RESPONSIBILITY.

OH, MY GOD.

DAD, I WORK REALLY HARD.

NOT FOR THE MONEY I PAY YOU,

YOU DON'T.

AND, BY THE WAY, I'M NOT GONNA

KEEP SHELLING OUT MORE MONEY

FOR YOUR RENT EVERY MONTH,

NOT WITH THIS TRIAL COMING UP.

I MEAN, A TRIAL?!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW MUCH A LAWYER COSTS?

NO, YOU'RE GONNA

STAY HOME WITH US. THAT'S IT.

YOUR MOTHER AND I

CAN KEEP AN EYE ON YOU.

I THINK THERE'S A CURVE
