The Good Guy Page #4

Synopsis: Ambitious young Manhattanite and urban conservationist Beth wants it all: a good job, good friends, and a good guy to share the city with. Of course that last one is often the trickiest of all. Beth falls hard for Tommy, a sexy, young Wall Street hot-shot. But just as everything seems to be falling into place, complications arise in the form of Tommy's sensitive and handsome co-worker Daniel. Beth soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street -- high risk, high reward and everybody has an angle.

especially right now,

the way things are,

he might agree to a little kiss,

but a double?

No way.

I know, I figured.

All right, look.

You gotta do what's right for you.

Are you thinking about taking it?

You already did.

Well, man, what can I say?

It's been a great run.

It's gonna be tough to replace you.

I like that a lot.

Listen, I gotta go, okay?

No, you hang up first.

No, you hang up.

Twenty-one-year-old physical therapist.

Thousand bucks a month

for a studio on the Upper East Side.

- A home run.

- Sounds like it.

You gotta see her.

She's so f***ing hot.

You should invite her to your place

for the mid-year dinner.

Yeah. She can sit

right next to my wife.

Can you imagine?

Who you bringing, hotshot?

That Christie girl still in the picture?

No. Beth. You met her at the golf event.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah.

That brunette who wouldn't f*** you.

Listen, can I just talk to you off the desk,

just for a second?

So, she did f*** you.

How long was that woman,

Like, two months or something?

Jesus, that girl was your sexual Vietnam.

Not saying a word.

And so you just let him walk out.

He's your top guy for two years.

He already took the job.

He didn't want to make a scene.

Well, there's gonna be

a big f***ing scene tomorrow,

When 20 of our biggest accounts call

and no one's answering the f***ing phone.

We'll hire someone else.

That will take weeks.

Why the f*** didn't you let me talk to him?

I could convince that f***ing

cocksucker to stay.

They guaranteed him two million a year

for two years,

- plus upside.

- How much are we paying him?

Seven fifty this year--

a buck, tops.

Yeah, okay, we were too low.

All right, mister head of sales,

What's your contingency plan?

I'm sure you have one.

I think Daniel can step up.

Are you out of your f***ing mind?

That guy couldn't sell vagina

on a pirate ship.

- He's smart, he's honest.

- He's too f***ing honest.

He's a f***ing retarded Boy Scout.

That is exactly what

you said about Shakespeare.

- Tommy.

- It's exactly what you said about Chris Baker.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.

Why are guys like us good at our job?

Because people like us.

We take them out, they have a good time.

They might even meet a real, live girl.

Daniel is a lovely fellow.

He's as much fun as chlamydia.

I'm telling you this will work.

Let me remind you the value we place

on human capital here at Morgan Brothers.

- Your future--

- I understand.

Your future depends

on the depth and the quality

of the team that you build.

Now, in light of that,

I'll ask you once.

Is Daniel your guy?

Yes.

Great.

I'm telling you, this chick I'm banging in HR
