Loitering with Intent Page #6

His brow tightens, she offers him a drink.

This is for you.

No, I wasn't. I was

just waving to you and I was...

Look at those two.

They can't resist.

- How's the writing?

- I'm stuck.

On what?

Um, in...

In the story, my character's hired to

find this girl who's wrapped up in a cult.

I find her, I don't know what happens next.

She's in some kind of trouble.

Well, I know all about trouble.

- What do you mean?

- What do you mean?

Well, what kind of trouble

have you been wrapped up in?

It depends how you define trouble.

Sometimes trouble give you the answers.

Maybe your character is conflicted.

This girl is drawn to you. She's involved

in something that intrigues you.

Question is, do you explore it?

Or maybe he's falling for her.

Anyway, if you get stuck again,

give me a holler.

So he buys me this '66 Barracuda Fastback.

Pearl white, burgundy bucket seats, I love it.

- And Wayne loves it.

- I love it.

For about a week. And then the

next week he's just in his shell.

He's curled up,

he won't get out of bed, and he's angry.

So angry about everything!

Then suddenly decides

he wants to get rid of it.

- What!

- Not just the car.

He's suddenly obsessed with

the Ramapough Indians.

- To what end, I have no idea!

- Is that a new thing?

He's riding the Staten Island ferry

back and forth.

He's not going to Staten Island,

he's just riding the ferry.

Says he needs to stay on the water.

I don't know what's going on with him.

Maybe it's everything

going on in the world right now.

Maybe that's what's

setting him off.

- Yeah.

- I dunno.

We were so good for so long.

- And now, we're not connected.

- Not working.

I feel like he's bamboozling me,

unless maybe it's me.

- No it's not.

- No, my man is f***ed up.

I'm sorry, G. I love you, but he's got

some serious issues. He was in a war.

Then he was f***ing Team Six.

- What's Team Six?

- It means he was elite.

Okay, the best at what he did.

Anything after that, it has to feel

like a let down to some degree.

- She's no let down!

- Yeah man.

No, you know what I mean.

I don't mean that.

It's just that now he's a...

he's a glorified handyman.

Let's not glorify the fact that Wayne is a

product of the military industrial complex.

It's sad, but he made choices. What I know,

is Gigi here is a radiant sunflower.

And one who appreciates the sun,

certainly loves sunflowers.

You're in love with him.

It's really simple.

Battle of the sexes,

people. Men in the lead.

All right, let's do it.

Let's go. I'll play around.

- On the case.

- I'll play around, here.

Get this going.

- Billie Jean gonna go down.

- I remember how to do this.
