Proximity breeds opportunity
Maxie: Hmm, well, I slept with lulu’s last boyfriend. I guess you heard.
Claudia: I didn’t, but that’s fabulous. Something told me that you wouldn’t have a problem with this.
Maxie: Seducing logan hayes was not a challenge. He’s a typical guy, but johnny, I don’t have to tell you — we’re talking about your brother.
Claudia: Johnny’s a teddy bear and, no, we’re not talking about my brother. We are talking about $10,000. We are talking about $20,000 if you pull this off anlulu catches you. Maxie, it’s just sex, right? And you know what I heard? I heard she’s messing with your career. You pull this off, she’s not going to want to work here anymore.
Woman: Since everything in your father’s house was destroyed in the fire, I thought a furnished place might be best.
Claudia: Yeah, thankfully, the owner had decent taste. So why did he leave?
Woman: Moved in with his new wife.
Claudia: Wow, that is a great view of the metro court hotel.
Woman: The owner of this apartment is also co-owner of the metro. He was living here while it was being built, kept an eye on construction.
Claudia: I’ll take it.
Woman: We haven’t discussed price or lease options.
Claudia: That’s ok. Don’t bother me with that, I said I’ll take it.
Woman: I’ll draw up the papers right away, Ms. Zacchara.
Claudia: Thank you.
[Phone rings]
Johnny: Yeah.
Claudia: Johnny, guess where I’m calling you from? Our new home.
Claudia: So we each have our own bedroom and we don’t have to share a bathroom, which is good because I’m a very messy girl, john, very.
Johnny: It’s a good space.
Claudia: Yeah, and it will be a lot better tn living with daddy and wondering if he poured arsenic in my coffee on any given morning.
Johnny: I’m not going to let him hurt you.
Claudia: Thank you. What about Lulu?
Johnny: What about her?
Claudia: Come on, she was awful to me, John.
Johnny: You weren’t exactly innocent, Claudia.
Claudia: Of course not, but I’m the only one who’s looking out for you.
Johnny: Lulu and I are going to be together and you have to respect that. I ask the same thing of her, ok? That she respect you and understand that at the end of the day, you’re the only family I’ve got.
Claudia: Come here. I can live with that, roomie.
Johnny: All right.
Claudia: Proximity breeds opportunity. There are all kinds of ways that I can put you near John. And I think you are just the woman to break the hold that Lulu has on him.
Maxie: You know what? Lulu definitely deserves this.
Claudia: Mm-hmm.
Maxie: And I could use the money, so $10,000 if I sleep with Johnny and another 10 if Lulu walks in?
Claudia: You’ve got a deal.
Maxie: This is going to be so much fun.
