The Center of the World Page #2
That's f***ing two years ago,
dude. You need to get on something.
Man, I don't know what happened to you.
Last year, you were a f***ing genius.
King came up with the best concept of the year
Well, it's- Now you can't
even get out of bed?
But you gotta go all the way.
You took your f***in' 90%
and now you're checkin' out.
You own 18% of this company.
Do you know how much money that is?
That's not courtside seats.
That's buying the f***ing N.B.A. team.
And you're sittin' home jerkin' off,
watchin' porn?
Dude, I got a hundred engineers at
M.I.T. who'd take your place in a minute.
Go get one. Yeah, right.
Not so fast.
We got until 2:
00.You're right. I don't wanna rush it.
Here's where we goof the map,
Out past the power lines,
up that little sideroad without a sign,
Hidden from the main street.
The keepers of the ancient future,
the keepers of the drama.
They don't preserve it.
They live it.
Hey.
Hey. I'll be right there.
So you don't seem to be too unhappy,
then. Why would I be unhappy?
I don't know. You were pretty
reluctant to get into all this.
Well, it's not every day a girl
gets to eat oysters...
In a suite in Vegas with Dick Longman.
You have no regrets, then?
Don't be silly.
I'm having a fine time.
Me too.
Do you have a secret fantasy?
Uh, not really.
Come on.
Come on. Everybody has a secret fantasy.
Uh, three days in Vegas
with a beautiful woman.
That's it?
Yeah.
There's nothing that you always
wanted but you never asked for?
Tell me.
Really?
Yeah.
Really. The chinese call that "fire and ice. "
No! There's a name for it?
That's cold.
Oh, my God.
Oooh!
Aaah!
Aah!
Do you want me to stop?
I'm okay.
No, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Six days away from the I.P.O.,
okay? Mm-Hmm.
You gotta keep it together. I know.
This is what we talked about a year ago.
You're a rock star.
You raised this money. You had the best
"B" to "B" concept in the world. All right?
Okay. This is serious cash.
Right. Don't burn yourself out
Okay. I need you to be
together for Tuesday.
Okay. Come in early.
How early?
Like before lunch.
Thank you.
Florence, you up?
Good morning.
Good afternoon.
Why? What time is it?
I ordered up some coffee. You want some?
Um, yeah.
Just - just give me five minutes, okay?
Okay.
I worked parttime at Wal-Mart.
Went to college.
Mm. What'd you study?
Quantum physics.
Wow. Really?
Yeah.
You know, black holes and big bangs.
Yeah, I know. Seriously?
No.
Come on. What'd you really study?
Doesn't matter. I didn't finish.
- You know what I studied?
- What?
Computer science.
Really?
No.
I did work as a locksmith...
When I first came to L.A.
