Johnny jumps up, holding his towel in front of him.

JOHNNY:

What the f***, Dude?!

MASSEUR:

Oh, did they not tell you how I

work?

Johnny looks confused, is this guy a hooker?

Official White Version 06/04/09 16.

MASSEUR:

I have a web-site that explains my

technique. I feel that if my client

is naked, it’s more comfortable if

I meet them on the same level...

CUT TO BLACK.

We hear the sound of the door slamming shut.

38 INT. JOHNNY’S BEDROOM - NIGHT 38

E.C.U. Johnny takes some sleeping pills.

With the only light in the room coming from the T.V., Johnny

lays in bed and watches a Gandhi documentary that’s on.

The narrator talks about all his accomplishments for mankind.

NARRATOR (O.S.)

Assuming leadership of the Indian

National Congress in 1921, Gandhi

led nationwide campaigns for easing

poverty, for expanding women’s

rights, for building ethnic amity

and for increasing economic self-

reliance...

A puffy Johnny, with heavy eyelids, stares ahead as Gandhi

helps the masses.

FADE OUT.

Johnny stands under the water of the shower, trying to wake

up and start another day.

the front door to get the paper.

Official White Version 06/04/09 17.

A middle-aged blonde, in a beige Juicy Couture sweat suit,

across the hall in her doorway signs for her room service and

gives him the eye.

She looks at him, while she sips from the straw of her

Frapaccino.

CUT TO:

41 INT. NEIGHBOR’S ROOM - DAY 41

We see just a head board hitting against the wall.

CUT TO:

42 INT. CHATEAU HALLWAY - DAY 42

Johnny emerges from her room still in his towel.

Cleo is waiting outside his door with a little suitcase,

doing a Sudoku puzzle.

JOHNNY:

Oh, hi, Cleo.

CLEO:

Why are you taking a bath next

door, is yours broken?

Yeah...

JOHNNY:

He lets her in to his room.

JOHNNY:

What a nice surprise... shouldn’t

you be at school?

CLEO:

It’s Sunday.

Official White Version 06/04/09 18.

The door closes behind them.

CUT TO:

43 INT. JOHNNY’S SUITE - LIVING ROOM - DAY 43

Johnny, Cleo and Sammy play Guitar Hero.

CLEO:

Do you want to have a soft-hitting

contest- who can hit softer?

SAMMY:

Sure.

CLEO:

You can go first.

Sammy hits her arm as softly as he can.

CLEO:

Ok, my turn.

She punches him as hard as she can in the arm.

CLEO:

You win.

SAMMY:

You hit hard for such a small

person.

The phone rings, and Johnny answers it, wandering into the

bedroom on the phone.

Official White Version 06/04/09 19.

44 INT. JOHNNY’S ROOM - DAY 44

He walks towards the window, on the phone.

JOHNNY:

Hello, Marge.

MARGE (O.S.)

Hi, Johnny. The LA times wants a

quote on your mother’s book.

JOHNNY:

(under his breath)

Jesus.

He stands close to the window and pulls the curtain back to

look out over the pool.

MARGE (O.S.)

...and you need to be in Milan

Wednesday, we can fly you out

tomorrow night, or Tuesday...

44A A brunette bikini beauty just out of the pool looks up at him

and smiles, opening her top, flashing him with an inviting

giggle.

44A

He closes the curtain quickly and steps away from the window,

feeling busted.

MARGE (O.S.)

Are you there?
