Like giving wine to a monkey

Vanchra ne dau  Like giving wine to a monkey

John’s drink in Club Karma glows blue- like a cool bay-begging to be dived into

Patty turns away from the guy she’s insulting to say something to John

‘If you are  staring at a drink…you aren’t looking at girls. Annnd if you look like you are just into booze…that’s not a good look.’

Patty turns back to the guy who is trying to hit on her.

‘..so you were telling me how great you are…’

Guy

‘I am great. Great job. Just being honest.’

Patty

‘Wait. Aren’t you the guy who drives up and down the Boulevard in a Hummer with flames on the front of it?’

Guy leans down to get more intimate with Patty

‘Big man needs a big car.’

Patty

‘What does that get to the gallon?’

Guy

‘Who cares? I can afford it.’

Patty

‘I care. About the Earth. And I think oil has a lot to do with wars..’

Guy

‘I don’t care about the world…I care about you.’

John

‘Great line…’

Patty leans back against John's chest

‘What? Don’t break the mood.’

John

‘The mood is you insulting him.’

Patty

‘He loves it and so do I.’

John smiles, makes his eyebrows go up, turns his back to them and realizes his old friend is standing next to him.

‘Patel’

Girl Patel

‘Pender’

Girl Patel hugs him

‘How u b?’

John

‘Same’

Girl Patel

‘Patty said you are at a New York City Ad Agency…writing. Like Father like son?’

John

‘I’m writing…they have a youth program internship kinda thing. So far my stuff is going through…Bloody chips…that's mine.’

Girl Patel

‘For real?’’

John

‘Yeah. So what about you? Met anyone.’

Girl Patel

‘Just met an Italian guy  from around here who asked where I was from. Like I'm from India.  I said ‘ Seaside Heights’. He said ‘no really’. I said where are you from…Rome?’

John

‘This place is mad-stupid.’

Girl Patel

‘My dad had a saying: Like giving wine to a monkey.’

John laughing

‘I love it.’

Girl Patel

‘Guys are already crazy for girls. Like a monkey is already running around…you don’t need to give him wine.’

John points at skinny Adjin dancing crazy with the biggest woman in the club.

‘Like that mad crazy guy. He’s going to need a ladder to kiss her.’

Girl Patel

‘He’s going  to need a lifeboat. She’s Titanic. And she’s going down.’

With that the big girl dancing with Adjin falls-dragging Adjin down. His sagger pants are approaching his knees showing his bright white underwear. John swallows his drink. He and Girl Patel run through the crowd to pick Adjin and the big girl up.

John whispers to Girl Patel as he lifts Adjin

‘My heart will go on and on…’

Girl Patel whispers in John’s ear.

‘Her  ass will go on and on.’

The big girl is drunk and sliding on the wet floor as Girl Patel  trys to lift her, Girl Patel slides down  onto the floor with her. John is laughing so hard he almost joins them.

John to Adjin

‘Pull your pants up.’

Adjin

‘I love her.’

John

‘You love every girl. Pull your pants up anyway dude.’

John to Girl Patel

‘Are we having fun yet?’

Girl Patel

‘Like giving wine to a monkey.’
