Sonny? It's your dad. Were you asleep?
Oh, hey, man, I was - I was exercising.
[Scene shows Sonny half asleep in bed on the phone]
Bullshit. You were sleeping.
No, I wasn't, I wasn't.
[to someone near him]
This kid won't stop lying to me. [to Sonny] You still act like you're 6!
Oh yeah, okay, dad. I act like I'm 6.
[Cuts to Sonny on his couch with a bowl of cereal, watching cartoons]
Any luck finding a job where you can work more than one day a week?
Uh...I've been looking.
[Cuts to Sonny sleeping in a rowboat in a pond in Central Park]
Looking doesn't pay the rent, kid.
Hey, all the money I won from the cab accident is kicking ass in the stock market, so relax.
Well, don't blow it all on worthless crap.
I won't!
[Cuts to Sonny carrying a fancy surfboard that he apparently just bought]
You know what you should spend it on? Your bar exam.
You're the lawyer in the family; I ain't taking a damn bar exam. I got too much other shit going on in my life.
[Cuts to Sonny napping on his couch]
I don't know what the hell happened to you.
Okay.
Anyway, how are things going with your girlfriend? What's her name? Vanessa?
Things are going fine.
[wakes up suddenly]
Shit. [looks at the clock] SHIT!
I gotta - I gotta go. [hangs up the phone]
Damn it, you turned off the alarm clock again!
No, no, no. I mean, yes, I did, but I thought you needed more sleep, Vanessa.
[rushing to the bathroom to get dressed]
I knew I shouldn't have stayed here. That was a real jerk thing to do, thanks a lot!
What are you doing? Why are you going to work, anyway? It's Sunday.
I'm not going to work, I'm going to brunch...with some potential clients. That's how a party planner gets business: by meeting people, making contact!
Meet with me. Come on, I'll order in from Cozy's, we'll have fun.
I am sick of Cozy's! You order from there all the time, the delivery guy's, like, your best friend.
Well, he happens to be pretty damn nice. This is a rough patch of my life right now, alright? Syracuse is 0-3, and I've got those medical problems.
Medical problems? [scoffs] A cab runs over your foot two years ago, you spent one night in the hospital.
First of all, that cab was huge. And a jury decided that that one night of pain was worth $200,000, so there you go.
Whatever.
What the hell's the matter with you? Why are you being so nuts to me lately?
Because, you refuse to move on to the next phase of your life. I, on the other hand, would like to have a family someday. But, I need someone that I can rely on, not just a playmate.
What do you need, a father figure? "Stop pulling your sister's hair!"
You know what? I am going to go to Syracuse to see my mom. I'll be back on Wednesday.
What are you talking about?
[Vanessa slides open the door to the apartment and gives Sonny an exasperated look, seeing Nazo, the Cozy's delivery guy, standing there] [in foreign accent]
I have call for delivery in building, but I think it was crank call. Want some chocolate cake?
It's a bad time, man. Come back later, I'll Indian Wrestle ya.
You’re going down, sucker.
Yeah, well, we'll see about that.
Okay, peace out. [leaves]
Because I need time to think, and so do you.
What do I need to think about?
Your life! And why there's any reason for me to be a part of it.
Alright...
And while you’re at it, why don't you think about getting a real job? [leaves]
I got a real job!
[Cuts to Sonny sitting in a toll booth]
