Miles Ahead

Okay, yeah but…how can you get two drinks if you’re holding my hand? Don’t you need two hand for that? You know, one for each drink or whatever?

No. I'm super talented, Charlotte. And totally a partyer. So you just sit back and watch the magic that is me using my big hands for something actually worthwhile.

{He pulls her over to a cooler, and then reaches in for two beers, handing one to her.} Here you go. Bottoms up.

But if I get that drunk, I’ll feel like crap tomorrow. And also I’ll probably do something stupid. So I’m not going to get another drink. However…if someone were to say, bring me another drink, I would have to drink it out of politeness.

Okay, how about this: what if I hold your hand, right like this... and I bring you with me to go get myself a drink.... And then I accidentally grab two, and you have to drink it? Because I don't really think you'd wait for me if I just walked away.

Miles van der Woodsen! I’m not gonna let you record me saying that. But only because I know that you already know how much I love you and you don’t need some silly recording of me telling you that.

Okay, this clears things up for me and leaves me only one option: you need more to drink. There is no way I can allow my cousin to leave this party with the inhibitions to make sure she's not recorded. That's just how it is, alright? And sure, you love me. But you'd love me more if you were drunker. So I want to capture that. Forever.

Life or death? Why? Why are you dying? Don’t do that. Because I love you a bunch! Like…a lot. Like more than…what’s his name? The cat. Garfield! More than Garfield loves lasagna. That’s his thing right?

I'm dying due to lack of love. My mom hasn't been home in like two weeks, and Ana's been busy with graduation shit, and Viv's been stuck on some painting. So I need you to say that again, only a little bit louder, and put your mouth a little closer to the microphone on my phone, okay? And yes, lasagna is Garfield's thing. Understandably, really.

Everyone keeps asking me that! I just had a little bit. A tiny, tiny bit.

Then you, my dear sibling cousin, are the worst leightweight I have ever seen. {He grins at her.} Quick, Char, tell me how much you love me. This is a life or death situation.

I’ll always insist on a hug from you! Always. Expect it.

Great! What are we drinking, cousin? Oh.. and tell me, how’s that girlfriend of yours going? It’s so weird we live under the same roof yet I feel like I see you less.. not fair.

The hardest liquor here. Guessing it'll come from the Bass stash.

See, part of me kind of thinks that you enjoy the freedom that comes from me not being at home. That, and you like the fact that you don't have to walk in on me doing anything you wouldn't approve of. {Miles smirks.} Viv's fine. Met her sister the other day. Almost drank green tea, can you believe it? The shit guys will do for girls is unbelievable, you should feel privileged.

I don’t know, Miles. Are you drunk?

I'm not drunk, but if you ware, I'm going to keep it that way just so that I can be sure to remember this. How much have you had?

..Get over here you big dork.

Perfect, then you’re having shots with me! C’mon. No sleep for us tonight, okay? I mean.. I know the whole sleeping thing but.. I mean, we’ll stay up all night together, kay?

If you insist.

I'll take some shots, no complaints. {Miles gives her a look, and then starts cracking up.} Okay. I can live with that.I'd rather have a reason to stay up anyway.

You look so nice tonight. Did I tell you that, yet? Because you do. You look super nice! I mean—you look really nice all the time but you know what I mean. C’mere…

This is... nice. But, Char... are you drunk?

You are not dumping me over, scrawny. I will kill you!

Good—just checking to see if my favorite cousin in the whole wide world still has party spirit in him.
