122 - Bad Boy
2007
Monday evening ...
ESMODONTI:
Hey - it's my two favorite boys. So whatcha got planned for tonight?
JESSE:
Nothing.
ESMODONTI:
Nothing? No way hon - I have an idea. Why not hang with
me at the karaoke bar? We can get the place rockin'.
MEZ:
He can’t.
ESMODONTI:
He can’t?
MEZ:
No, and he knows why. I gotta go. There’s some concert
in the park that Cammeo wants to go to.
ESMODONTI:
Sounds like fun.
MEZ:
Not to me. It’s classical music. She loves that stuff.
I don’t get it. I can already feel my eyes closing.
ESMODONTI:
Aw Mezzie, you’re such a good boyfriend. Try to have fun.
ESMODONTI:
Trouble with my boys,Jess? Since when is Mez your
keeper? Why can’t you come party with me?
JESSE:
He says I'm too loud when I drink - which keeps him
up at night. Soif I do it again he’ll kick my ass.
ESMODONTI:
Mez said that?
JESSE:
Not in those exact words, but I got his meaning.
VANNI:
Evening Es. Jesse where’s Neve?
JESSE:
Sleeping. Look you don’t have to keep asking me about
my sister, OK? I’m on it. I read her a story and tucked
her in nice and tight - so get off my friggin’ back.
VANNI:
I only asked a simple question. You don’t need to get so defensive about it.
VANNI:
…Nice seeing you Es.
ESMODONTI:
You too sweetie.
ESMODONTI:
What was that all bout?
JESSE:
Big brother's watching over me. He thinks I suck at
lookin’ after Neve - and if I screw up again, he’ll kick my ass.
ESMODONTI:
Vanni said that?
JESSE:
No, but it’s what he meant.
ESMODONTI:
And do ya suck at lookin' after her?
JESSE:
A little, OK a lot - but I’m trying to make it up to her. Anyway,
I don’t think I should go out tonight - and not because
of Mez - cause I can take him, but for Neve.
ESMODONTI:
Alright sweetie, anything you say.
RACOLO:
Es, is Lith asleep?
ESMODONTI:
Out cold. I put my …our little elf kin in his crib and
he was asleep before his head hit the pillow.
RACOLO:
I’m not surprised. Aless and I took him to the beach.
ESMODONTI:
Didya really? I would’ve loved to see that.
RACOLO:
under his breath
Shoulda thought of that before you became a vampire.
ESMODONTI:
I heard that.
RACOLO:
Sorry, just slipped out. Look I’m going out - so could
you listen for Lith just in case?
ESMODONTI:
You know I’m always available for my little ef kin.
RACOLO:
Thanks, I’ll probably be late …
JESSE:
Hot date huh?
RACOLO:
glares
ESMODONTI:
That was chilly. What’d ya do to piss off Roc?
JESSE:
He thinks I’m no good for his precious sister, and if I go near her again, he’ll kick my ass.
ESMODONTI:
But I thought you and Tia were over?
JESSE:
We are.
ESMODONTI:
And are ya staying away from her like a good boy?
JESSE:
I have no choice – she keeps throwing stuff at me. She’s so friggin’
pissed. Man, I wish she never found out about those other girls.
ESMODONTI:
Haha – that’s an interesting way to put it hon.
So other than me, the famous Vampir-Es, is there
anyone here who doesn’t want to kick your ass?
JESSE:
I think that's everyone. Why do I keep screwing up? I made
Neve cry, and Tia hates me, really hates me. Es, I hurt her. So bad.
ESMODONTI:
Aw you poor thing.
ESMODONTI:
Hold on there tiger.
JESSE:
Have I told you how hot you look tonight?
ESMODONTI:
Hahaha - You are sooo bad. What am I gonna do with you?
JESSE:
Don’t go Es. I’m sorry, really.
