People I Know Page #4

Elliot?

- Hi.

- Eli.

I've been trying to reach you

about my benefit.

I didn't know you came to this place.

I'm not gonna read about this,

page 6 of the "Post"?

Come on.

That's a friend.

Jilli, honey, how you doing, sweetie?

F*** you, Elliot.

So you're gonna come to my thing

at the Palm.

We need to help these poor boys.

Well, it's a terrible thing.

But don't hustle me here.

That's bad form.

What is this place, anyway?

Eli, this place is everything

a bent little Southern boy

like you could possibly want.

Huh?

Go. Look.

Touch. Play. Feel.

What is this place?

What is the big deal?

I don't know.

You know who that is?

That's Elliot Sharansky.

He's worth billions.

Oh, my God.

Opium?

Good nose.

You were here with Cary?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you must be a very bad influence.

Because I know my boy, and

Cary Launer never does drugs.

Yeah. Maybe.

He sure as sh*t likes to watch

other people do them, right?

How long has this place been here?

It floats.

Well, I don't know

the right people, I guess.

Come on, kiddo.

We'll go to the Odeon

for a burger and a vodka.

I'll listen to you talk

about your life.

- We can't stay here.

- I'm trying to find my thing.

Go ahead.

Now, I'm tempted.

It's right off the boat from Myanmar.

Well, in that case.

- Do it.

- I can't do this.

Boy, you have a nice smile, kiddo.

You do modeling?

'Cause my name's Eli Wurman,

and I do a lot of events.

Maybe if you want to drop by.

My card.

What is that thing

you're looking for, anyway?

My little toy.

Oh.

I need a constant distraction

or I lose control.

Do you believe that?

Control is very important.

Because without it,

there's indiscretion,

which is a cardinal sin.

So true, Jilli.

Hey, Serge.

The man knows.

- This is Eli.

- How do you do?

- Serge.

- Eli.

Serge.

We got to talk.

Mm-hmm.

I love your setup here.

About what happened earlier?

I was f***ed up.

I didn't realize how bad it was.

Oh, Jilli, darling.

Nigerians.

The INS deportees...

It's too late for that.

Let's just say our goodbyes.

Sh*t.

Listen, Serge.

I didn't mean to.

I have to come back, okay?

I want to come back.

Everyone's hands are tied.

It's time for you to move on.

No.

It happens to everyone.

We all have our time.

Wait a second.

Serge, it was a joke.

I'm joking.

You know me.

Jilli, Jilli.

- Why?

- You know the rules.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Wait.

Remember what you did

earlier tonight?

What did I do?

I don't know what I did.

- I don't...

- Goodbye.

I don't know what I did!

Where's my toy?

Where's my f***ing toy, you bastard?

This?

You're too old for this.

I got all you guys now.

It's all right, honey.
