DescriptionBen Kalmen hits on Cheston's girlfriend

Summary

Ben Kalman is approaching 60. He has health problems, he is divorced and he has lost a lot of money doing shady deals with his former business, car dealerships. Now he is dating a woman, Jordan, because of her father's business connections. As a favor to his girlfriend, he escorts her daughter Allyson to a college interview as he happens to know the dean. There, he hangs out with Daniel Cheston, who gives them a tour of the campus. Cheston is an insecure freshman who got dumped by his girlfriend. Ben gives him some dating advice and later in the film, when Ben goes back to the campus to get work from an old friend, the two meet again. Cheston is now dating Maureen, a student in his Spanish class.

Here we are at a party. Ben is drinking and has just been rejected by a girl. Maureen walks up to him and Ben hits on her, promising not to tell Cheston if the two sleep together. Maureen scolds him for trying that and tells him that she is happy with Cheston...

Excerpt
INT. BAR

BEN: "Hey."

MAUREEN: "Hi."

BEN: "You want a drink?"

MAUREEN: "No. Just more ice."

BEN: "Cheston--he's terrific, isn't he?"

MAUREEN: "He's superific. He loves you. He thinks you're sort of arch-Dr. Phil."

BEN: "Dr. Phil."

MAUREEN: "Yeah."

BEN: "No no no. He's a bozo. When I give advice, it's target-specific."

MAUREEN: "And what advice did you give him exactly? He's very tight-lipped about it."

BEN: "Oh, I can't reveal all my confidences, but you ought to know this, because I would never tell him anything that you said, you know, or what I saw, or about what might happen."

MAUREEN: "What's gonna happen, Ben?"

BEN: "Well, that's not really the question of the moment, is it?"

MAUREEN: "No?"

BEN: "No, the question of the moment is, what are you getting out of the transaction?"

MAUREEN: "What transaction?"

BEN: "You know what I mean--between the two of you. You got your little jokes-- the Spanish thing, interested in the same, and the studying, but are you getting it where it counts?"
