So if you'll recall Vinnie Chase is kind of a giant manwhore. Sometimes he even forgets who he sleeps with. That is a problem. A pretty big one.

What I particularly like about this story (apart from the obvious) is that it takes place right where we left off in season four. Vince isn't exactly Hollywood's golden boy at the moment, and that subtle thread of exclusion runs through this story. It's exceedingly well-crafted--the ending is just, gah. I can't reccomend it enough.

"Did either of you see a girl clearing out of here this morning?" he asks instead, curious.

"Nah," Turtle says, "Was she hot? If she was hot then I wished I had."

"Of course she was hot, the Chase men don't settle for anything less," Drama growls. "So...uh, how hot, Vince?"

"I don't remember," Vince says, "I had a lot to drink last night."

Turtle and Drama crow loudly, until Vince clutches his head, and they drop it down to some silent laughter. "Man you haven't been this wasted forever," Turtle teases, "Must've been in some mood last night."

"Oh, Vince, E left early this morning, crack of dawn almost, while I was doing my crunches."

Vince frowns again. "He say why he was out that early?" Last night, last night has something to do with Eric.
