[bottles clattering]

And it's well-stocked, too.

[laughs]

[Roxy sighs]

I'll have a vodka

on the rocks.

Coming right up, my lady.

Let me just get

my canvases out.

[engine power-up whine]

Ground control,

this is FJ2244.

Request permission

for takeoff.

Ground control to FJ2244,

thanks for submitting your

flight plan, Mr. Parker.

However, the name of your

co-pilot seems to be missing.

I'm sorry...

please repeat.

Name of my co-pilot?

As you know,

since December 1st,

a co-pilot is required for

all aircrafts of your type

departing

the State of New York.

New regulations

since December 1st

requiring a co-pilot.

What's he talking about?

I have no idea.

- I landed alone.

- Mr. Parker,

please let me

speak to your co-pilot.

Hello?

Mr. Parker?

Hold on, ground control.

What now?

I mean, you could talk to

him now,

but he's gonna ask again

once we're in the air.

- I know.

- Mr. Parker,

I'm afraid we have to deny

your request for takeoff

- if you do not...

- Ground control,

this is Kyle Parker speaking,

co-pilot of this flight.

Screw it, I'll fly with you.

I was gonna come out

to the West Coast

in three days anyway.

Thank you, FJ2244.

You are cleared

for departure.

Proceed to taxi lane.

Kyle, Kyle man,

how can I ever thank you?

This would've ruined

everything.

Hey, you know, this thing

with you and Lisa,

it's over right?

I mean, it was nothing

serious anyway, was it?

Are you kidding?

Seriously, it was nothing.

Besides, I'll be out of your

hair as soon as we hit L.A.

[chuckles]

Hey, bro.

Merry Christmas.

To you too, Matt.

- Bathroom door's at the back?

- Right.

[soft music]

What is this supposed to

mean?

Lisa, I didn't want you

to see that.

Just... forget about it,

okay?

No, Kyle,

you'll tell me why

you never answered

any of my calls right now.

I have a right to know.

Tell me.

You told me you had no

idea who I was, right?

I mean, when we

first met at that party,

you said you had no idea my

family owned Parker Industries.

Yeah, I suppose so.

That's not what your

friend Becca told me.

So after a weekend

of feeling closer

than I ever felt to any girl,

I had to find out

that Becca told you in advance

who was going to that party.

[scoffs]

That kind of thing

just happened

too often in my life.

What?

Are you trying to say that...

You knew who I was

when we met.

I didn't!

Becca mentioned

so many people who were

coming to that party,

by the time I arrived,

I didn't know anyone.

Fine, if you really think

I was with you

just because you're rich,

you're an even bigger

a**hole than I thought.

Lisa...

[engine revving]

But hasn't the world

in general
