Tan Me

"Hey Daph"

"Hi Justin"

"Look what I got."

"Oooo"

"Wanna go with me?"

"I don't know Jus, you really gotta be careful at those places."

"Oh come on! Brian does it all the time and he looks great. I'm tired of looking vanilla all the time. Pleeaasse!"

"Okay, but we should check out the place first, make sure the equipment is good, maybe talk to some of their customers or call Brian."

"Daphne you sound like one of those investigative reporters."

"Listen, Justin, I read the newspapers, listen to the news, you can get seriously burnt and you know how sensitive your skin is."

"I'll concede that point."

"Let's pick up sunblock first."

"Okay, yeah, I guess you're right. There are some parts of me that have never seen the light of day."

"Waay too much info Jus."

"So we're going?"

"Yes, we're going."

"Yee Haw!"

"Oh Daphne, what am I going to do?"

"Shit, Justin you're a lobster."

"I can't sit, I can't even touch my own dick; how am I going to pee?"

"You're crossing that info line again. Didn't you use the sunblock?"

"Yeah I did but I guess I missed a few spots."

"You know you can be a real dumb ass blond sometimes."

"Fuck, Daph, he's going to kill me."

"Who?"

"Who do you think? Brian. And we were supposed to go to Babylon after my shift. OH SHIT, my shift. I can't work like this, I can't touch anything."

"Call in sick."

"Shit, Deb's gonna fuckin' kill me."

"Justin..."

"I know, don't say it."

"No, I wasn't going to say that, well maybe later. I think you need to go to a doctor."

"No"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Your skin is kinda bubbling up."

"FUCK, let's go."

At the dinner.

"Hey Deb"

"Hiya kiddo, what can I get you?"

"I'll have a turkey on whole wheat, no mayo and a little Sunshine on the side."

"Sorry Brian, Sunshine's off the menu tonight."

"Huh? What? Why?"

"Called in sick, except he didn't sound sick, just like he was in pain."

"Pain? Shit, cancel the sandwich."

At Daphne's apartment.

"Hi Brian"

"Hey Sweetcheeks; where is he?"

"Uh, who?"

"Daphne"

"In his room; Brian please don't give him a hard time."

"But he likes it."

"Brian, Justin's hurt."

"Hurt, how?"

"Burned?"

"How the fuck did he get burned?"

"We, he..."

"From the beginning, at a human pace."

"Justin got free passes for a new tanning salon so we went."

"Didn't he use sunblock and why didn't he call me first."

"I told him we should of check the place out first and to call you and yes, I told him to use sunblock but he missed a few places."

"Shit Daph, how bad is it?"

"Bad, we just got back from the emergency room."

"Here, go get a lot of bottled water and a bunch of sport drinks. He can get easily dehydrated."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

"I'll be here."

"Justin?"

"Go away and let me die in peace."

"Please let me in."

"No, I don't want you to see me like this; you'll, you'll laugh at me."

"I wouldn't do that Baby. Let me come in."

"Okay, it's not locked."

"It's dark in here."

"Even the light hurts."

"I'm sorry Baby."

"Don't be, I'm the asshole. Daphne was right. I should of been more careful, check out the place and called you."

"Yes you should have but that's besides the point. You'll know better the next time."

"There won't be a next time."

"Did you get anything for the pain?"

"Yeah and some ointment but I can't get to all of my back and I don't want Daph to see me."

"I thought she's pre-med."

"Brian"

"Okay, calm down. Can I help if I promise to be real gentle?"

"Like the first time?"

"Something like that."

"Yeah, Deb, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize, Brian explained. You learned your lesson?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good, now go get your apron and get to work."

"Aw, see he does care or was it another excuse to play with your ass."

"Grrr"
