JESSE:

You wanted to see me A-m?

Yes, come here we need to talk.

 ... Where have you been? Your mother's been 

trying to get in touch with you for days.

My Mother? Why would she … Has something happened?

Nothing like that, your parents are fine. 

Why haven’t you answered your phone?

Can’t find it. What's she want?

She’s on leave for the next two weeks. You and Neve are joining her in L.A. If you bothered to check your email you’d have 

seen the e-ticket. Better start packing, you’re leaving tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Be thankful it wasn’t today, it’s not fun flying with a hangover.

You knew?

Did you think you could hide it?

OK, so I’m busted.

And if I catch you smoking in this apartment again …

I know I know …

You want to smoke, go outside.

We’re on the third floor.

Think of all the exercise you’ll get - going up and 

down the stairs. Now go call your Mom.

What if I don’t wanna go?

You’re going, it’s the only way I can prove

to your her that you’re in one piece.

Look, I‘m sorry about ... everything but, 

can’t you get me out of this?

It’s only two weeks …

Two weeks! Two weeks with my freakin’

relatives. Haven’t I suffered enough?

Later ...

JESSE:

Who the hell books a flight at 6:45 in the friggin' morning?

She did this just to piss me off ...

ALESS:

Hi J-Jesse, d-do you know where Tia is?

JESSE:

You’re freakin' kiddin' me right?

ALESS:

N-no I can’t find her.

JESSE:

She sure doesn’t want to be found by me.

ALESS:

Why n-not?

JESSE:

You must be the only person who didn’t hear her giving 

me hell last night. Look. I’m hung over, your sister hates 

me and I have to go to LA tomorrow.

ALESS:

Oh. Sorry for b-bothering you. I'll leave you alone.

JESSE:

Oh crap! Aless come back. What do ya need Tia for?

ALESS:

Well, she p-promised to t-take me to this photography studio, 

here’s the address. I signed up for a w-workshop on black

and white stills. Racolo's too b-busy to take me.

 JESSE:

How long's this class?

ALESS:

An hour and a half, b-but if you don’t feel well ...

JESSE:

I’ll take ya, I owe ya that much for yelling at ya.

ALESS:

Thanks.

Later … 

While waiting for Aless, Jesse walks in on one of the models.

JESSE:

Cyndy what the hell are you doin' here?

CYNDY:

Getting some headshots for my portfolio. And you?

JESSE:

One of my house mates is taking a class down the hall.

I guess you could say I'm babysitting.

CYNDY:

Maybe I can make it up to ya. My photographer had an emergency and

took off. I'm so bored. Wanna help me pass the time? 

JESSE:

Don't have to ask me twice ...

CYNDY:

Ooh Jesse ...

Later ...

JESSE:

Want a drag?

CYNDY:
Yeah thanks.

JESSE:

How long ya gonna wait for this guy? Aless should be done 

soon and I could drop him off and we could go somewhere ...

CYNDY:

Can’t, already have plans. What about tomorrow?

JESSE:

Gotta go to LA.

CYNDY:

Bummer. Guess by the time you get back your spitfire of a girlfriend will have forgiven ya?

JESSE:

Maybe.

CYNDY:

You gonna tell her about me?

JESSE:

Hell no.

CYNDY:

You're a bad boy Jesse.

JESSE:

I know. Are you gonna tell her about this?

CYNDY:

No way, because I like bad boys.

JESSE:

I'll call ya when I get back.

CYNDY:

I know.
