Looking all around, the world is standing still.

Love is coming down, what will it feel?

While the city's desire will take the night,

you and I will dance and dance.

Hello, Gloria.

Are you ready?

Shall we begin?

The thing is, when you look at me, I feel heart desire.

That's it for today, Gloria.

There's a telephone call for you.

Hello? Hello, darling.

Oh, Dorothy.

What's up?

You have an appointment with Pedro in an hour.

Oh, damn.

I'm sore all over and I'm dressed all wrong. Darling, I'd send someone else.

he wants only you. Buy yourself a dress on the way and charge it to expense.

All right.

Bye.

I'm going to be here all week.

I want to see you every day.

Wow.

I've got to run.

Your pals are very

quiet.

But I like that in a man. What time tomorrow?

Call the agency.

Couldn't we bypass the agency?

You naughty boy.

Bye -bye.

Bye.

There's the date.

Very original, Peter.

I thought you'd like it.

Like it?

I love it.

Shall we?

Here?

You're a bad boy, Peter.

But so sexy.

Darling, you're the one that's sexy.

Thank you.

Thank you. So long, Tiger. See you later, darling.

I love that.

All right.

All right. All right.

Enjoyed the show?

You go. You did it, Dad. Oh, I tell you, this is the easiest money I ever made.

Yeah. Let's see if I can win some of that back.

I want you to be sure. I won't rush you.

So, I can wait.

Thank you, Jason.

I just thought it would be easier.

Few things in this life worth having come easily.

Remember that.

I don't think a woman would be as patient.

Maybe it's because deep down, I know you want the same thing.

I thought I'd take you to a hotel.

Oh, not on your life. You're my guest.

You'll stay with friends, and you'll stay here in my home.

I want you here, in my home.

Seeing my things.

Touching them.

I want you to feel me around you.

I want you to know me.

Deepen not another word

Colton

you ready

It was easy, like taking candy from a baby.

Oh, yeah, I'm a candy.

And he was baby.

I thought he'd never wake up.

I'm still at the door.

I want a day's work, dear.

Carol, he'll be at 5 .30.

Bye -bye, kids.

I'll do anything I wouldn't do, dear.

Oh, I didn't know there was anything you wouldn't do.

Oh, Carol.

How did midterms go?

Great and everything but physics.

Gotta go.

Laurie.

Checked away again?

Whole two weeks this time.

When I get married, I'm quitting. That's not good.

Oh, I agree. That's good.

Gloria, can I talk to you? Sure.

I'm going to have to start taking vitamins.

The pace is killing me.

I never dreamed we'd be so successful.

We're one of the wealthiest agencies in town.

Everything you touch turns to gold.

That was books, dear.

Speaking of which, what do you think of the last chapter?

It's beginning to flow. I don't feel the apology behind every word anymore.

You're getting less dismantled.

I hope so. I was surprised myself at first.

Where is it?

I still have my notes.

We need a better computer program.

I can't work with this mess.

Oh, I'll find it.

You don't?

Come in, Mr. Evans. And not a moment too soon.

Gloria, this is Cliff Evans from Ideas Unlimited.

What a coincidence.

You don't waste time.

Time is money.

You can say that again.

Have a good day, Mr. Evans.

If you tell me exactly what it is you need, I can get started.

Sure.

We've got a lot of addresses, phone calls.

Yes, are those tapes available?

Yes, I can confirm that.

That's 7 .30 p .m. correct, room 714.

And thank you for calling Papillon.

Sharon, did you get that address for me?

Yes, it's right here. Paradise Model Agency.

They're having auditions tomorrow morning.

Okay.

Should I ask for anyone in particular?

No, just bring your portfolio.

All right.

How's it going?

Oh, it's okay.

Just being around you guys, you feel more like an ugly duckling every day.

I don't.

Beauty's only skin deep.

Yeah, but ugly's to the bone.

Just one moment, please.

Um, don't forget your appointment, Gloria.

Oh, sure.

Papillon, my... Papillon.

I've quit service. May I help you?

Yes. Five young ladies, both private dinner plans.

That'll be no problem.

Well, I don't care what anybody says. I'd still say blondes have more fun.

Well, I'm having enough fun as it is, doll.

That may be true, but blondes still wouldn't have it.

Bye, girls.

It's you, darling, but it's not her.

Duty calls.

And I'll be able to give you a more detailed perspective very soon.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Girls, this is Slytherin. He's going to put a fallen new computer program.

Oh, good.

He's cute.

Scrumptious.

They won't eat you.

Did you make it to your date on time last night?

You were in such a hurry.

I often am.

I took advantage of you. I'd like to make it up to you.

Somehow. That's okay.

At seven, at CACU, see you.

Why don't you come and program my computer tonight?

Busy tonight?

Scrubbed yet?

In the mood for something hot?

Thank you.

I would never dare to say, you're the only one I'll ever

want this way.

Only you, you're the place a wanderer can pray.

And I feel it though, my heart is turning.

me and you you and me that's the way it's gonna

be

When your lips meet mine, your very touch let us be.

And every time you take me by surprise.

You're the lightning in the darkness. You're the mystery.

But I know you, your name is paradise.

I need you.

More than I would ever dare to say.

You're the only one I'll ever want this way.

Only you.

You're the place no wonderer can say.

And I feel it so. My heart appears to say.

I watch you watching me stay and say.

Thank you.

Thank you.

May I have one?

Scotch for the lady.

Have you eaten yet?

I'm sorry, really.

Something came up.

Shall we go?

I'm not hungry anymore.

I see.

Well, bye, Cliff.

Thanks.

I didn't think you bruised so easily.

I don't like being made a fool of.

Who does?

Where do you come from, Cliff?

I'm from Cleveland originally, but I live in San Francisco now.

Oh, isn't that where the computer geniuses come from?

Oh, you mean Silicon Valley?

Yeah, I guess so.

Does that make you a genius?

I'm good.

I'll bet.

So, this is my first time in New Orleans, Gloria.

Well, let's get out of here.

Would you like, um, to come up to my place?

No, I don't think so.

It wasn't a

very nice evening.

Got off to a bad start.

Want to start over?

No, I've had enough for one night.

I'll call you a cab.

No, that's all right.

I'd like to walk.

Good night.

Good night.

Don't worry. It's all right. Okay, don't worry.

So, what is this?

I always knew you were special.

Sarah Asprin.

Writer, social critic.

I figured you could use my help, so here I am.

I don't need your help or anybody's.

You need protection.

And what would happen... They found out that a nice girl like you was working in

a place like that.

I can handle it.

Not after I talk to the police. Oh, no, Sarah.

Oh, yes, Sarah.

And now I'll get it for free.

Okay.

Come with me.

All right, ladies. That's all we have for today. And I'd appreciate it if you

could call in tomorrow morning after 10, okay?

Good day.

I think you've got something, Gloria.

I won't have any trouble playing you.

Thank you.

The rest is up to you. It depends on your availability and how much you want

make. I could use the money.

Have you done this kind of work before, TV commercials?

No, why?

It seems to me I've seen you someplace before.

Just a second.

I must be thinking of somebody else.

I could set you up with an appointment this evening. Are you free?

I'm sorry, but I just remembered.

I'm busy.

Can I call you?

What is this? I handle the best girls in town. I don't have to take this shit.

I'm sorry, really, but we'll be in touch.

Bye.

With the dentist convention in town, she's sorry.

Sharon, what's wrong?

Did I spoil everything?

I didn't want to tell him he made me.

It's all right. I understand.

I wish I was dead.

Don't be silly.

Let's pretend it never happened, okay?

Okay, Sam. What?

Okay, Gloria.

Okay.

I've got to get back to the office. Okay, bye.

I'd make the desk look more part of the room, don't you think?

You're so right. The business aspect could be understated. Too bad you can't

anything about sharing that.

Maybe I can't.

Maybe I can.

Lori, Sharon.

Hi, Gloria.

Hi.

What are you doing?

We're planning a little redecorating.

The new computer won't take up much space.

And I was thinking of making Sharon more a part of the ambience.

Good idea. Hmm, Sharon?

Can I talk to you for a second?

Sure. What is it?

Well, if I've got to run, I'm due at the Hyatt in 20 minutes. I'll bring you

those sour tassels tomorrow.

That's wonderful. Have a nice day.

I have to call Mr. Evans. Be my guest.

He's not there. Hmm.

This is Eve Norris from Papillon.

Please call me as soon as possible.

I need some further information.

Thank you.

Sick young man. Always seems out of place.

Eve, can I see you for another please?

Sure.

Don't go away.

Good night's rest.

Yes, mother dear.

This is Eve Nord from Papillon.

Please call me as soon as possible.

I need some further information.

Thank you.

Hi, Cliff.

I'm actually glad you're not there.

I said I'd wait for you to come to me.

And I guess that's how it's got to be.

Forgive this momentary weakness, but it's tough, man. It's tough.

Hi, Cliff Evans.

This is... Gloria, I really am sorry about last night, and I want to make it

to you.

I'm having dinner at the Green Apple around...

I'm busy most evenings enough. I have a private life.

Do you live alone?

What is this, 20 questions?

I'm sorry.

It's just that I'm trying to understand.

Oh, don't say it. Let me guess.

Why do it?

Right?

Let's see.

I see it as a sort of mission.

You know, for humanitarian purposes.

You mean like the lady with the lamp?

The Statue of Liberty?

Four times, yeah. Oh, ha.

Well, just, huh?

Four.

Touché.

Gloria, there's a banquet for you.

Right this way.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Thank you.

Hello?

I hear you. But if you think I'm going to leave right in the middle of lunch,

you're crazy.

Okay, okay.

I'll meet you right away at home.

Oh, Cliff, I'm awfully sorry, but I have to go.

Nothing trivial, I hope.

No, it's not what you think.

Can I have a rain check?

Sure.

Thank you. Bye.

Why don't you ask Dorothy to give you a hand if you can't get it all together

yourself?

Sure, sure. Help me.

Oh, yes.

I know her and about Miss Eve North as well.

From the Wharton School of Business.

Well, a client made me an offer tonight that I really don't think I want to

refuse.

I don't believe it.

I thought it was about time I had some hands -on experience.

Well put.

Who's the lucky guy?

Well, why don't you? Come along and see yourself.

Now, that's an offer.

I can't refuse.

Okay. See you. Bye.

I haven't felt the same since high school.

Just think, there are two big handsome Texas cowboys upstairs just dying to

us to pieces.

You are naughty.

That's just what I tell the other girls. Exactly.

Wait.

I'm ready.

I'm Gloria, and this is Eve.

Hot dog.

Hey, Craig, the bimbos are here.

Boy, you sure know how to pick them.

About this way, ladies. Come on in.

Don't you think we have a nice place here?

And are they built, too.

Like two prized heifers.

Would you like to have a beer? We have a refresh right here.

Is your friend a cowboy, too?

You betcha, Missy. Horny Brad.

A long -starring state detective.

Right, Craig?

That's right, Mark.

Only I don't punch cows anymore.

I market them.

Champagne for the lady.

Mark. Yeah, you're right. Something imported.

France.

1983.

Very cold.

And I think it's getting hot.

Room service.

Could you send up a bottle of Don Ferriano and room 327, please?

Thank you.

And you deliver as promised.

The basic principle of this.

This is Florian.

I like that.

My pleasure, ma 'am.

Get this party up off the ground.

Music sounds good to me.

after enough.

I'm looking for Mr. Allison.

I'm a model.

Well, well, well, we're very busy right now. I don't know if I'll be able to

catch you in a minute. Will you have a seat?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Could go with an old bag like that.

Yes?

Sorry, no, thank you. Excuse me, really.

Wrong door. Bye.

Yes. You're a friend of Cliff Evans, aren't you?

Yes. Would you tell him hello for me, Jason?

Of course.

Thank you.

Dorothy, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.

Aren't you taking vitamins?

I don't mean that. I mean the cover -up. I always want to call you Dorothy.

And I always have to think twice before I call you Gloria.

It's worse.

Somebody knows.

One of my clients.

Blackmail. I can't let that happen.

We're not ready.

Oh, you might not be, but I think I am.

Sarah, I don't think you realize that we have a lot more at stake than a book.

This is a million -dollar operation.

Dorothy, have you lost your mind?

The book is all that matters.

All this, it's just a front, a game.

It's a business.

Oh.

Clip.

By the way, I regard for you from Jason.

Really? Who's Jason?

Um, he and I were counselors together at camp.

I didn't see you as a camp counselor.

Swimming instructor.

You know, the guy on the beach with the whistle that never goes into the water.

I was in love with mine when I was ten.

This is the boy.

Oh, that champagne.

It went right to my head.

I feel giddy.

You know, I can't really believe this is happening.

Why not?

Well, to me, anyway.

You see, I'm... Oh, let's make love.

Excuse me?

Go ahead.

Gloria, I think there's something you ought to know about me.

You talk too much.

This isn't my place, it's a friend's.

It's alright.

Trust me.

And walk into the daylight And without anyone You

will walk into my life

far.

You did what you could, honey, but your funny friend, he shook us the hell out

of here fast.

He had a headache.

You were great.

I can't wait to see what I've got here.

Have you gone nuts?

Maybe. What the hell are you doing?

I don't like this game anymore.

You've ruined everything.

Gloria, please.

I'm sorry.

We certainly can hook up your Baton Rouge and Stringport offices to New

but we need to know exactly where you want the mainframe.

I've asked the field officer for a report.

Yeah, but that was two months ago.

You need to send that in.

What seems to be the problem?

It's an internal matter.

The field officers haven't got all their stuff together yet. They don't know

what they need.

Well, how about if we sent one of our guys up to each office and set up a...

Individual presentation.

That sounds like a good idea.

That's just what I need.

When could you... When would you be sending your people out?

Uh... That's unheard.

Jeez. I didn't know the Hibernian building was on this street.

How about preparing individual presentations for each office?

You already said that.

I did?

Oh, well, I still think it's a good idea.

I have to give him a report first.

Good. He'll need it as soon as possible.

Where the hell are we?

I'm gonna call me a cab.

Look, I'll give you a call as soon as I hear something.

Yeah,

I saw a girl come in.

That's all right. I'll just wait outside.

Hi, Cliff.

Come in. I was just in the shower.

Could you excuse me for just one second?

I brought dinner for two.

Was that Eve's idea?

In a way.

Do you have any wine?

No, beer.

Oh, we'll pretend it's wine.

Nice place.

Yeah.

Look, you can cut the routine.

I don't want to hear that this is the most exciting night of your life.

Oh, you've heard the routine before.

I can imagine.

I just wanted to be with you. So you bought that dress?

What the hell happened?

Did your trick stand you up?

Trick? Okay, one of your friends.

You're not jealous, are you?

Jealous? Of a hooker?

Then why are you being so nasty?

What the hell do you want from me?

I want the same thing you want, Cliff.

Well, I don't want anything.

There's something I have to tell you.

Tell me now.

No, now.

I've never done that.

I want you.

Thank you.

In the garden In the garden of Eden

I will give you my love You will give life a reason

Leave me alone.

Eve said you weren't working.

Where were you? It's none of your business.

You are my business, babe, so let's get that straight.

Let me go.

Don't sass me, girl.

Now get some sleep.

I don't want you looking like an old bag.

I wanted to tell you about last night.

Oh, don't say anymore.

I feel very close to you, Cliff.

Very, very close.

You don't have to explain.

Huh?

I wanted you to have something to remember me by.

Thank you.

I'm late. Can I drop you off?

The Good Samaritan.

Oh, here we go again.

I'm sorry.

But last night, I can't help it. Women scare the hell out of me.

Me too.

No.

Yes.

I don't know.

Okay. But I gotta be going.

I can't let you go now.

I'm coming with you.

Stop fooling around.

I'm not. The hell with everything. The hell with the company, my clients, your

clients, all of it. You're crazy.

I'm not.

We can be just like everyone else. Just you and me.

Okay?

Let's go.

Laura will give you all the information you need, all right?

Girls, I want you to meet Laura.

She'll be working with us.

And I know you will make her feel right at home.

It's about time.

Where have you been?

Oh, is she my replacement?

I'm only a few hours late.

Don't tempt me.

Laurie, can you take Laura down to Tabby's? She might need some clothes.

Can I go too, just to look?

Sure.

Paulette, you do at the theater at seven.

Okay, you can go. But don't lose track of the time, okay?

Your clients have been screaming all day.

What happened?

You could have canceled.

I'd have sent someone else.

I was with Cliff, the computer guy.

I know who you mean, dear.

I just thought he was a little...

Delicate for your taste?

Sex isn't everything, Dorothy.

I'd like to be with him.

We're good together.

Sex isn't everything. I agree, Sarah.

But it's a lot.

What are you going to do?

Nothing.

Are you the girl from Papillon?

Aren't you clever?

You made the right choice.

Our agency is America's best.

And paradise So let the

music play As the fever rises

Moving closer to the star of love

Softly whispering

I love everything When you look at me

We won't count the hours.

Don't let the music play as the feet ride in.

Moving closer to the star of love.

We'll beat this thing.

I'm not worried.

Good.

Trust me.

Don't go.

I wish I didn't have to.

Peter, don't press your luck.

Better be nice to me, little girl. I'll give you something to complain about.

Go away.

Baby, you're breaking my heart.

I'll go.

This guy says he's looking for you.

Well, are you going to introduce us?

Oh, this is, uh, Peter.

And who is he?

Who's this?

Cliff. I'm Cliff Evans from Ideas Unlimited. I'm writing a computer

Papillon. I couldn't get in touch with Mrs. North, and I had to query.

Well?

I have it all written out.

Sort of a questionnaire.

If you could answer that, I could help you.

Is that it?

Is that it?

Yeah, I can probably go on.

I hope I didn't interrupt anything.

No, thank you, Cliff.

Well, so long.

Who was that guy?

Just who he said.

I'm going to get a drink. Do you have any time?

No, thanks.

Can't pull out now. How many times do I have to explain it?

Let's quit while we're ahead.

We're as good as flown anyway.

You mean Peter.

He's a fool.

But he won't kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

Thank you, but I was thinking of good. I was afraid of that.

Well, I can handle Peter.

Because if he goes to the police, it's just free publicity.

For the book?

Of course.

The agency will be gone by then.

Are you sure, Sarah?

Are you ready to give up all this?

All this is not the point, and you know it. Cliff is leaving in a few days for

San Francisco.

You'll have some time to think.

Maybe you will see things differently.

Hi, Phil.

The usual.

You were right, Jason.

I'm still too confused to make that kind of commitment.

It's meant a lot to me, being here, using your place, your things.

You're a real friend.

The best friend a guy could ever have, only... I met a girl.

He's, uh... Well, I just don't know.

I wonder.

I don't know any more than that.

We're total opposites.

Hello?

Cliff, it's Sarah. I need you.

Where are you?

At the Jackson Brewery.

Sarah.

When your eyes meet mine, I wonder what you'll do to me.

But suddenly, I need you desperately.

Never did my wildest dreams end so recklessly.

But where you are is where I want to be.

I need you more than...

I would never dare to say, you're the only one I'll ever want

this way.

Only you, you're the place no wanderer can stay.

And I feel it though, my heart gets to say,

I want you, what you need.

Saving, saving, saving.

Me and you, you and me.

That's the way it's gonna be.

Keep saving, saving, saving.

Saving, saving, saving.

Saving, saving, saving.

When your lips meet mine, your very touch lets us be.

And every time you take me by surprise.

You're the lightning in the darkness. You're the mystery.

But I know you. Your name is paradise.

I need you.

More than I would ever dare to say.

You're the only one I'll ever want this way.

Only you.

You're the place no one can say.

You're going to end up in the Guinness Book of Records.

Me and you, you and me, that's the way it's gonna be.

Keep saving, saving, saving.

Saving, saving, saving.

Saving, saving, saving.

Thank you.

I better get going.

You sure?

That we'll be happy together?

Yes.

I'll meet you there.

Sharon, close the office and leave the keys with the guard. I'll be by later to

sign the papers.

Okay. Bye.

I've been doing some thinking myself these days, and I came to the conclusion

that you were right.

All good things must come to an end.

Let's get on with the book.

Oh, I'm leaving town.

Now, wait a minute.

You can't throw everything away.

Just like that.

I'm not.

I believe in the book as much as you do.

And I have a portable typewriter.

It's the Cliff Evans, isn't it?

I hope you know what you're doing.

We'll be in touch.

Dorothy, I'm so glad you're there. Are you free tonight?

I thought we might go over the manuscript.

Cliff?

He still has some unfinished business to clear up.

He knows where I am.

No, I'm fine.

Okay. See you later.

Back to chapter 1.
