EXT. ASHLEY ASSOCIATES OFFICE - DAY
Carina exits in a revealing black outfit. An Orange County
hottie.
Rudy pulls up in his 1995 gold Nissan pickup truck. It's
worth about $2,500, and Carina's disappointed look shows it.
RUDY
Are you hungry?
CARINA
No offense, but your beater just
took away my appetite.
Rudy LAUGHS.
CARINA
You buy it off a Mexican
landscaper?
RUDY
I did, and for a good price.
(beat)
C'mon, hop in.
CARINA
Only if you promise to upgrade this
piece of shit as soon as you land
the WideCountry job.
Rudy doesn't have to think twice about it.
RUDY
I will, and you can pick out the
interior color.
Carina smiles, hops in to the pickup, and they drive away.
EXT. HURRICANES BAR – DUSK
It's Friday Happy Hour and the bar is mobbed. Carina and
Rudy share drinks on the second floor patio.
CARINA
How are the interviews going?
RUDY
What if some fat, smelly, mouth
breather picked his nose right in
front of you as he supposedly
"read" your resume?
CARINA
Uhh, that wouldn't happen to me.
Rudy LAUGHS.
RUDY
You're right.
(beat)
I'm not sure this is for me.
I don't fit in with all of these
tweekers and keyboard pounders.
They all have some sort of weird
color skin.
Carina SNORTS OUT LAUGHING!
RUDY
What?
CARINA
Yeah, we call that the T.T. -
techie tan. All you guys get it.
RUDY
Ha, never had it, never will.
CARINA
I'll drink to that.
They clang their glasses and drink, enjoying themselves.
CARINA
But you better know...Narvin is
pissed. You went on six
interviews, but you haven't called
him about WideCountry.
RUDY
I gotta go back to school.
Carina takes charge.
CARINA
Fuck school, Rudy, and you fuck me.
Rudy snaps to attention what Carina's forward announcement.
RUDY
You think so?
CARINA
I know so. I also know you can run
circles around dozens of guys we
placed who make about 200K.
Rudy gains confidence with her faith in him.
RUDY
Wow, 200K!
CARINA
School is for kids. Are you a kid?
Carina moves close to Rudy and they start to make out. It
gets hot and heavy, but then she pulls back.
CARINA
So in two days, you call Narvin.
RUDY
Why two days?
CARINA
We have some adjustments to make.
Carina moves closer to Rudy and gets really sweet.
CARINA
Like your smile.
This makes Rudy LAUGH and smile.
RUDY
What's wrong with my smile?
CARINA
Absolutely nothing. It's perfect.
But you gotta use it more often.
Rudy smiles wide, and they make out again as we...
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. NORDSTROMS MEN'S STORE - DAY
Rudy tries on suits as Carina looks on. He looks great and
she gives him the thumbs up...
Then she picks out a shirt and tie combo for him...
Then he picks out a pair of conservative brown wing tip dress
shoes. But Carina puts them back and hands him a pair of
black Italian loafers.
INT. HURRICANES BAR – NIGHT
Rudy and Carina dirty dance, falling for each other. The
song ends and the lights flicker to signal closing time.
EXT. HURRICANES BAR - MOMENTS LATER
Rudy and Carina stumble down the street, making out. Rudy
pulls out his cell phone and dials.
RUDY (INTO PHONE)
Hi, Narvin. Fuck you!
Carina freaks out and shakes her head NO! But Rudy LAUGHS.
He was just kidding.
RUDY (INTO PHONE)
I need a cab, just east of
Hurricanes on Main at the pier.
Rudy hangs up the phone and Carina jumps into his arms.
CARINA
You're so responsible, I love that.
(beat)
And I'm responsible for this.
Carina pulls Rudy around the corner into a partially blocked
alley. In a flash, she unzips his fly, goes down on him...
And continues until he's done. She has Rudy on the hook.
EXT. DOWNTOWN HUNTINGTON BEACH – MOMENTS LATER
Lazlo pulls up, and Rudy leads Carina into the cab. Lazlo
eyes them closely and pretends he doesn't know who Rudy is.
LAZLO
Where to, sir?
RUDY
Wherever this beautiful woman
lives.
(beat)
And then back to my place. I have
a big interview tomorrow, so it's
time to get some rest.
Carina appreciates Rudy's gentlemanly gesture.
CARINA
I live in Newport, 29th and Ocean.
Lazlo drives and watches his son and Carina interact
harmlessly in the back seat. It brings a smile to his face.716e1bba-40d9-481b-b5c0-6c3b3bb49260|1|2.0|96d5b379-7e1d-4dac-a6ba-1e50db561b04
