Nice Guy Johnny Page #3

- What's your deal?

You did say 10:
00.

Because I said 9:00,

you said 10:
00, then--

- I apologize, I got a, uh...

I got a phone call last night

from this girl I know.

She's out in Jersey, so...

You could say I hit

a little tunnel traffic this morning,

if you know what I mean.

- Tunnel traffic. Nice.

- Look, by the way,

what the hell are you

doing staying in this dump?

- I got a good deal online, so...

- Do me a favour,

next time you come to New York,

do your uncle a favour,

give me a call,

let me hook you up, okay?

- All right. Thank you. Thanks.

Look, you don't mind

if we head downtown first, right?

Pick up the handbag?

- Let me ask you a question.

What would happen if you returned home

without this... pocketbook?

- Well, I wouldn't be

a man of my word.

Would I?

- A man of your word?

- Yeah, I told Claire I'd pick it up.

So I should really honour that promise.

- Okay. Well, I'd hate for you

to have to compromise your integrity.

Let's go get your bag.

- There. Took like two seconds.

- Yeah, you're a standup guy.

Can we go now?

- Yes. Did you get me one?

- You like ice cream?

Johnny, listen to me.

I don't want to spend

a lot of time here, all right?

'Cause I told the ladies

we'd get out to the beach by 4:00.

- Ladies?

What are you talking about?

You said it was just gonna be us

hanging by the pool.

- Yeah, it is just going to be us.

And this sweet little thing

I met last week, so...

- No, you said ''ladies.''

You said ''ladies'' just now. Plural.

- Look, I'm assuming

she must have some friends.

Or maybe one friend in particular,

who I heard is very hot.

Look, I know,

you don't even need to talk to her.

I know you don't roll that way.

So it's cool.

Don't even worry about it.

- No, that's not cool!

That's not cool, Uncle Terry, okay?

If you're trying to set me up,

I'm not down.

Don't be a dickwad!

- What do you mean a ''dickwad?''

- You're being a dickwad, okay!

If that's what you have planned,

I'm not going!

- I'm joking around with you, all right?

- A toast, to Johnny.

I'm so proud of you,

my baby boy.

Agreeing to take this job.

That takes courage.

- What is this job

that you two are so excited about?

- It's a good opportunity.

- No, it's a great opportunity.

- It's a good opportunity.

It's something Claire set up for me -

or her dad, rather.

- You know what I'm not hearing

in your voice at all? Excitement.

- Yeah, it's not exactly what I wanna be

doing, but the money's potentially good.

Gets me back to New York. So...

- Yes, and that makes his mother

very happy. Right?

- And Claire and I have an agreement

that, um, when I turn 25,

if I'm not making $50,000,
