The Ultimate Gift Page #4

Synopsis: Jason thought his inheritance was going to be the gift of money and lots of it. Was he ever in for a big surprise. Based on the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall, the story sends trust fund baby Jason Stevens on an improbable journey of discovery, having to answer the ultimate question: "What is the relationship between wealth and happiness?" Jason had a very simple relationship with his impossibly wealthy Grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens. He hated him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies, just cold hard cash. So of course he figured that when Red died, the whole "reading of the will" thing would be another simple cash transaction, that his Grandfather's money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything but simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls "gifts," each challenging Jason in an improbable way, the accumulat

paint job!

You don't begin to live

until you've lost everything.

Heck, I've lost everything

three or four times.

It's the perfect place

to start.

Now, for most

of your adult life

you have been

the life of the party

and an easy touch

for a lot of weak hangers-on.

Now let's see who

your real friends are.

I was at your funeral, and there wasn't

a single person there

who wasn't on your payroll or didn't

have something to gain from your death.

What exactly is he

asking me to do?

He wants you to come back

at the end of the month

with one true friend.

Thank you.

-And how were the lobster tails?

-It was fine, thanks.

The lady was enjoying

the Montrachet.

And sir, the Margaux.

I hope it met

your expectations.

It was terrific.

Thank you.

We don't get too many requests

for the '78.

It's a bit too pricey

for some of our patrons.

I'll just leave this

with you then.

Caitlin, where do you

see our relationship?

-What are you asking me, Jason Stevens?

-Just thinking.

How long have we

been going out?

Uh, an appropriate

amount of time.

-Long enough.

-See? My thoughts exactly.

I was thinking that maybe

it's time to take us more seriously.

Yes?

But there's something

I want to ask you first.

Jason, if you're talking about a prenup,

isn't that sort of passe?

Well, see, I'm in

I was thinking

Excuse me, sir.

The charge card company

declined the charge.

That's impossible. I don't have a credit limit.

Just run it through again.

It's always our practice

to run it through again

but they declined.

Okay.

So, I was thinking, um

well, maybe, it'd be a good time

for me to move in with you.

Uh, you move in with me?

Why? Half my wardrobe's at your penthouse.

Just for a change of scenery.

Besides, I'm remodeling my place.

A remodel? But Who's your designer?

I know everyone in town.

I should've said

I'm beginning to remodel.

I've only really started

with the demolition.

I'm sorry, sir.

Your bank is on the line.

They'd really like

to speak with you. I must insist.

Look, guys. I'm having

a little bit of a setback.

It's nothing that can't be fixed.

All right?

Sweetie, I'm switching accounts right now

and I'm

temporarily out of money.

Is there a way

you could pay for this?

Jason, you're, um

You're, uh

asking me

to pay the bill?

It's

You owe me.

What?

Yo, dude,

I'm rollin' over.

What do you mean

I can't?

I have been there for you

countless times.

You owe me. That's it.

Bottom line.

Who was the one who loaned you

I could come up with a better excuse

when I was 12 years old.

All I need is a place to sleep.

I don't get what the problem is.

You can let me spend the night.
