Synopsis: In Los Angeles, Nikki is homeless, car-less and closing in on 30, but he's amoral, good-looking, and adept in the sack, moving from one wealthy woman of 35 or 40 to another, a kept boy-toy. His newest gig, with Samantha, an attorney whose house overlooks L.A., is sweet, although it's unclear how long she'll put up with him. Then Nikki meets Heather, a waitress. Is the player being played, or might this be love? What will Nikki discover?

characterize our relationship?

What? I'm...

You want me to characterize

and you can confirm or deny?

- Confirm or deny.

- Yeah, confirm or deny.

We are hopelessly

in love with each other.

Come on! Are we hopelessly

in love with each other?

- No.

- No, of course not.

- No.

- So how about this?

We have a relationship built

on honesty and integrity.

- Samantha, I'm not...

- What? Confirm or deny!

- Well, you want me... deny!

- Deny is right.

How about this?

I support you

and you perform sexual favors.

Is that what this is about?

- We're friends.

- We're friends?

Friends who...

f***.

Okay, how about we're

friends who f***

and you don't

stay here anymore?

- Fine.

- Great.

I don't know how

that's gonna work.

I don't have a car,

so I can't...

it's not... I can't come over.

And I don't have a place,

so it's not like you can come and...

f*** me,

so, l... I guess if we're...

and as my friend,

I think you should be

a little bit concerned

that I don't have

a place to live.

You are a real piece of work.

# Help #

# Standing at the door,

there's a man to meet #

# Shaking on my hand... #

#As he starts to speak #

# And he just might be afraid,

he just might be afraid #

# I don't want to hear

what he's gonna say #

# Oh, oh-oh #

# Oh, oh-oh-oh #

# Oh, oh-oh-oh #

# Oh, oh-oh-oh... #

- Is everything all right?

- No.

These pancakes are sour.

They're buttermilk pancakes.

They're supposed to be sour.

Oh, maybe you're right.

- Good.

- Excuse me.

What's your name?

- Heather.

- Hi, Heather. I'm Nikki.

- Hi, Nikki, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Have you worked here long?

- Three days.

Really? You new to LA?

Why? You want

to show me around?

I don't... um, yeah, okay.

I'm from here.

Okay. Maybe you

can show me around.

I don't think so.

Can I get you anything else?

How about a phone number?

Why? 'Cause we're

so compatible?

I don't know. I just thought we'd get

a cup of coffee or something.

When I leave here,

the last thing I want is coffee.

Hey, maybe we could go on a hike?

No. No hikes.

We could just talk.

We're talking now,

and don't take this personally...

it's not that you're not

a brilliant conversationalist...

Okay okay okay.

Why don't you just

give me your phone number?

Because I don't

want you to call me.

Whenever you're ready.

She's hot, huh?

Yeah.

- I delivered some stuff.

- Oh, hey, man. How you doing?

Hello.

I was expecting a phone call,

but this'll work.

Who the f*** do you think you are

making me chase down my money?

I'm sorry. l... how did

you find this place?

Your friend,

the delivery guy.

Right.

Where's my money, a**hole?
