The Good Guy Page #5

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.

said that he was discharged

early from the Air Force.

- And they sealed his file. Yes.

- Hey, hey.

- Ha-ha!

- Look, all I'm saying is

We need someone to fill

Baker's spot immediately.

And if we let Cash pick one of his guys,

We're all gonna be watching our asses.

I'm just not buying

this nice guy act, all right?

Nobody joins the military,

much less wall Street,

Without having, you know,

some kind of a dark side.

You're right, wall Street is no place

for an ambitious white male.

Of questionable integrity.

Well, I think it's gonna be great.

Yeah, of course you do, Stephens.

Finally, someone on the desk

that gets less ass than you.

All right, that settles it.

I'm leaving my wife of ten years

and I'm moving in on Steve-O's couch.

- who said you could have my couch?

- Did you say ten years?

You get married when you were, like, 24?

Yeah, I met here when I was 22.

I got married at 24.

- Christ on a bun.

- You know, it's just different.

- I'm sure I'll be there soon enough.

- Yeah.

Sorry I'm late.

- Hey.

- we're doing this whole system upgrade.

And we can only reset the servers

after you guys leave.

Plus the new software rollout

Is taking forever.

Right. Daniel, you know Chris Baker's

no longer with the firm, right?

Yeah, I heard.

- That sucks.

- Yeah, it does.

We've been talking.

And we thought that...

you'd be the right guy

to step into his spot.

Starting immediately.

- wow.

- Yeah, wow.

- He's got a lot of big accounts, though.

- Don't worry.

We'll split them up.

This is a bit of a

sink-or-swim business, mate.

Opportunities like this,

they don't come knocking often.

Yeah.

Look, I mean, we'll all

be there to help you out

till you get your legs under you.

You're gonna be

an old pro in no time.

- All right.

- we got you.

Thanks, Tommy.

I'm not gonna let you guys down.

Good. Sorry, guys, couldn't resist.

Here. Don't worry about it, drink it.

No, no, I f***ing hate tequila, Tommy.

- This is the good stuff.

- Hey, do you have any lime?

Doesn't even taste like tequila.

Jeez. Here's to Daniel.

- All right.

- welcome on board.

That f***ing tastes like tequila.

Tastes like honey.

I'm just saying that if I were black,

I'd just want to be called black.

You know?

It just sounds so cool.

Why would you say that?

African-American just sounds

awkward and lame.

- why would you say that?

- It's okay.

I'm allowed to speculate

about how I might feel.

I'm also ethnic.

I mean, do you really prefer

to be called African-American?

You mean despite the fact

that I'm neither of those?

- Right.

- Okay.

Okay, so in England,

What do they call a black--

Englishman.

Who are you bringing
