The Bodyguard, Pt. 3

Transcript

What's that? Oh, hi. Hi, I'm Matt.

Likewise. You, um, come here a lot? Sorry, I just, uh.

.. I was lost in thought a little bit. And, um, sorry, I'm not very good conversation right now, I think.

Alright, nice to meet you too. Yeah. What are you talking about? Was it that obvious? No, I just, I'm.

.. I'm just out of my element. This is not what I'm used to.

Well, I understand that, and I really appreciate you going out of your way to try to help me fit in and socialize with people, but. .. Let's put it this way.

I'm private security. I'm used to being on the wall of these things, watching for threats. Not socializing and being introduced as my protectee's boyfriend.

Not at all. Feel free to continue introducing me that way. Didn't I say that it would help avoid possible attention that you don't want? It's just, it's just not what I'm used to.

I suppose I'm a little nervous. I know. It's not the event that makes me nervous or that makes me feel like I'm out of my depth here.

It's the role that I'm playing. This is totally my scene if I'm here in a security capacity. But as an event attendee, as the significant other of the person I'm actually here to protect, I guess maybe I'm just not as good an actor as you are.

I'll try. I'll try. What? What do you mean, what? Why are you looking at me like that? No, you're definitely looking at me weird.

Okay, well I didn't say it was just that. There is something else, yes. I wasn't lying.

That is why I feel out of my depth here. Well, just think about it. You know, put yourself in my shoes here.

I'm used to doing security here, and right now we know of a threat. He is a threat. Well, he may not be a very menacing one, but he is a threat.

And you see, in a location like your office, your apartment, something like that, I have control over access points. I know what's going on. I know where people are.

I can control those that approach you and how much access they get. I can protect you more easily. In a venue like this, look at this, look how many doors there are.

Look how many people there are milling around. There are so many opportunities for someone to get in here without being detected and get close. And when we know that there's someone out there that wants to stalk you and hasn't given up on things yet, this for him, this is his dream.

You're damn right it has me nervous. Well, I can handle the stress. I don't have to like it, though.

And that in combination with the role that you're having me play here as your boyfriend, I am a professional. I'll get the job done. But it doesn't mean that I'm 100% comfortable.

Okay. Now I understand what you're saying. And I will do my very best to relax, and just play it cool.

Absolutely. Follow me? Yes, I'm going to accompany you over to the restroom.

I'm not letting you walk over there alone. What part of bodyguard do you not understand? Well, I won't go in with you if that makes you feel better.

Fine. I'll be right behind you. You've got to be kidding me.

He just doesn't give up, does he? How has he not figured this out yet? Hey.

Can I have a word? Let me be clear. Come with me if you don't want this to get really ugly really fast.

Alright, what the fuck is your problem? No, you are not welcome here. You've been told you are not welcome.

We don't want you around. I don't want you around. They don't want you around.

No one wants you here. You were not invited to this event. In fact, you have been disinvited from everything.

No, it is not okay for you to show up like this. I don't give a flank. Fuck who you convinced to let you in.

No, it's not. This is sponsored by my client, and he does not want you here. Exactly.

And he's assigned me to protect the person most important to him, and I take that very seriously. So when some piece of shit douchebag stalker ex-boyfriend shows up trying to get in here, trying to get close when it's been made very clear that he is not welcome, I sure as shit do have a problem. Calm down.

No, I am not going to calm down. I can tell you what's going to happen. You're going to get your ass out of here right now, and if I see you anywhere near my client or anyone related to him, if I even think that you are trying to follow us, I am threatening you.

Do you want to see if I'll make good on the threat? Please, please try me. I'm begging you.

Give me one reason. Just give me an excuse. No.

No, they don't belong to you. They don't belong to you. You have been shown the fucking door.

Figuratively and literally, you have been shown the door. You have been invited to leave. And if you can't get that through your head, yeah, what are you going to do? Big man, step up here.

Yeah. It's easy to flex when all you have to do is words, huh? You know what? You're not even worth my time.

Like I was saying, you're going to get your ass out of here. You're going to do it right now. I am never going to see you again.

Because if I do, you are going to really wish that you had this warning. Give me one reason, pal. Just try me.

Please. Make this easy for me. Yeah, that's right.

Turn around. Get out of here with what dignity you can muster. Don't let me see you again.

What an asshole. Hey, you ready to go back over to the party? Talk about what? Well, I guess that depends.

How much did you see? Well. ..

Whew. This is. ..awkward.

Well, first off, let me apologize for losing my temper. And I guess, um. ..

I guess my language may not have been the most professional. I humbly apologize. You did? No, I just didn't think you would like it.

Well, I'm glad that you, um, felt protected. That's what I was going for. Look, you need to remember, you're in good hands here.

Very good hands. Yeah, I'm not going to let him get close to you. Although.

.. I mean, hopefully your taste in men has improved, because what in the hell were you thinking? Yeah?
