What's going on?
MAX
(tiny smile)
Something I neglected to mention earlier--I own a mansion and a small island.
Shall we have lunch?
JETT
(stops him)
What?
MAX
(tiny smile)
You seemed to like me as a flyboy. I couldn't tell you who I really was.
(gently)
All my life, I've been told how to act, who to like, who to date, what to
wear--I realized, one day, that I never had real friends. Three years ago, I walked
away from my life.
(pause)
I discovered people did like me for who I really was--even without the money.
JETT
So--who are you?
MAX
William Maxwell Kensington.
Rob suddenly bolts forward.
ROB
You knew I was coming out here to see you! Why didn't you say something?
MAX
(shrugs)
Because I didn't want to be bothered with business.
BENSON
(laughs)
I'd have a bit of fun playing him. He booked this trip for me--knew I needed to
get away from him for awhile.
MAX
Benson's my pilot and driver.
ROB
Listen, Max--we really need to talk.
MAX
(shakes his head)
I'm not interested, Rob. Let's just go home.
Benson appears excited.
BENSON
Oh, we're going home. Happy days.
Max looks at Jett and smiles warmly.
MAX
You still want to come home with me, don't you? Even if I'm not a pilot.
JETT
(warm smile)
I suppose it doesn't change who you are.
(serious look)
I'm not into all that snobby stuff, though.
Max laughs softly then kisses her quickly and smiles. He looks to Benson.
MAX
I'll drive.
BENSON
(glares)
Like hell you will. Get your pampered, rich boy ass into that chopper! I
want my ass home!
MAX
(to Jett)
You don't have to worry about snobbishness at my house. Most of the staff
are worse then Benson.
JETT
Sounds like an adventure in itself.
They approach the helicopter. Benson climbs into the pilot's seat. Max opens the back door for her. Jett looks at him and smiles.
JETT
Tell me something, Max--down in the cargo deck, did you really intend to
bite me?
MAX
(tiny smile)
I still might.
Jett smiles and climbs into the helicopter. Rob waves and turns and walks away. Max looks back to the ship and smiles. We see the small fangs. He runs his tongue over the pointed fangs, smirks, then climbs in beside Jett. The helicopter fires up and lifts off from the landing pad.
FADE OUT
