73EXT. L STREET BAR & GRILLE -- LATER

Everyone is walking out, saying good-bye. Chuckie goes over to Will and Skylar.

CHUCKIE

I'm glad you came by, changed my opinion

of Harvard people.

SKYLAR

See ya' Chuckie. I had fun.

Chuckie heads towards Will to say goodnight.

WILL

I don't know what the fuck you're doin'.

You're givin' us a ride.

CHUCKIE

What do I look like, Al Cowlins?

(seriously)

You want to take my car, drop her off?

WILL

I was countin' on it.

MORGAN

Chuck, let's go.

CHUCKIE

You're walkin' bitch, Will's takin'

the car.

Morgan mumbles something and staggers off. Billy follows with an indifferent shrug.

WILL

Thanks, Chuck.

CHUCKIE

Don't get too slap-happy, you're takin'

me home first.

WILL

I don't know, Chuck. It's kinda outta

the way.

CHUCKIE

Just 'cause you don't have to sleep in

the one room palace, don't start

thinkin' you're bad.

SKYLAR

(to Will)

I thought you said you'd show me your

place.

WILL

Not tonight.

CHUCKIE

Yeah, not tonight. Not any other night.

He knows, once you see that shit-hole

he's gettin' dropped like a bad habit.

SKYLAR

I wanted to meet your brothers...

Chuckie gives Will a curious look.

WILL

They're all sleepin' now.

(a beat, to Chuckie)
