law It's a joke No, it's not

a joke.

I thought you understood when you read the letter I applied for a foundation

grant.

This is your mother? This is true?

Who are the people you told me were your parents?

They are my parents. They adopted me.

That's not the kind of thing you hide from your husband.

Yeah, I know, but it's also not exactly easy to explain.

My mother was mentally ill. She poisoned 16 people. I mean...

It's not exactly dinner conversation, is it?

Sorry, just a lot to handle in five minutes.

This has nothing to do with you.

You don't have to blame me.

You're your own person.

You're wonderful.

I'm just going to sleep with one eye open from now on, that's all.

You know what I can't believe?

I can't believe after all these years, my dark family scandals actually helped

me.

That's kind of an evening of karma.

We never had a real honeymoon.

This is our chance.

If you love me, the whole world is mine.

We got a little older. I grew a little bolder. And I gave you my high

school age.

We'd dance and love and fight.

Then make up Friday night.

You know,

I'm from Missouri.

And that's the show me state.

Oh, my God. Why are you dressed like that?

Because today is not just another day.

Let me go try it on.

Honey, we're home.

Oh my God.

This place is unbelievable.

You sure you got the right address?

Yeah. This is more extravagant than all my wildest dreams.

Come on.

Why, this is our bedroom.

Oh,

I feel like Marie Antoinette.

And I'm the King of France.

You're doing love.

Doing love, dear.

Oh, you're good. Good to see you.

Yeah.

Finally.

Want to make a cheese sandwich?

and you will see there never was a better time.

Wasn't that beautiful?

Like a movie.

Are we not expanding water?

Yeah.

You really turned me on.

Let's do it.

Sounds good, but a little dangerous right here.

That's why I like it.

What are you saying?

Stop it.

You're nuts.

Six months later.

I'll get back.

Honey, I made your favorite.

Eggs sunny side up, not too many.

Here we go.

Is there something wrong?

I can't live like this.

I'm a fucking loser!

Can you stop it?

I'm a fucking loser!

I'm a fucking loser!

Oh, what are you hiding? You hiding cellulite? Hike up that curtain you call

a dress. Let me see your leg.

Hike it. Put it on the chair and raise your leg. Come on. Come on.

Hike up on that chair.

Hike your skirt up. Hike it up. Higher.

Higher. Higher. Higher.

Oh, yeah.

All right. Let me see the other leg. The other leg. Let me see the other leg.

Come on.

Higher. Come on. Hike it up. Higher.

Higher. Higher.

Oh, yeah.

All right.

Yeah. Yeah. Now we're in the money market.

I bet those legs go right up and make an ass out of themselves, huh?

All right.

Yeah, I got a job for you.

A nightclub.

A joy room.

What do I have to do?

A little roddy dancing.

Just a little simple striptease. Just a little entertainment.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Let me see your knockers.

Excuse me?

Open your blouse and let me see your knockers. It's your first step to being

a star.

No. No, I don't do that. I never have.

What?

No? No? No.

No, yes. No flesh.

Look at this. You see this?

It's not even soft. Look at this. Look at this. And there's a hundred of them

out in the hall waiting to come in here and show me.

You know what I am?

I am the king of Paradise Entertainment.

So you get out of my office, you prissy little bitch.

Move it!

I would be magnificent as June.

I live in Hollywood, and you know what that means. Yes, I am the next Marilyn

Monroe.

You look gorgeous. This is a good outfit for you. Very nice.

Okay. Hop back up there. Come on. Okay. Up. Very good.

And stay the front of the car. Good. All right. Now let me just get into

position.

Strike a nice little pose for me.

Okay. Very sensual. Million dollar smile.

Let me see it.

That's it. Oh, what a sparkle.

Nice.

All right. Bring your left shoulder around a little bit.

That's it. Bring it down.

And beautiful.

Very good.

You're getting very good at this, man. Let me just check the light.

Yeah? There's this guy over there. What guy?

That guy that's been staring at me the entire time.

Oh, it's Grant Alexander.

Manager and part owner of Vector Cars.

He's a pretty good catch if you're looking to be caught.

Grant? Come here, I want you to meet one of my supermodels.

I've got a change of lens. You two just get acquainted.

Hi, I'm Grant.

Hi, I'm Lydia.

I know.

I picked you myself.

We were desperately going through hundreds of photos last night looking

for a new vector girl.

And when I saw you, I said she's incredible.

Thanks.

We'll go for a ride after the shoot.

But how's that going to help? I mean, the shoot's already going to be over.

Well, there's more jobs where this one came from.

But I like your work.

Would you like to see my factory?

Well that sounds interesting.

Dear Miss Butticelli, I like the style of your letter and your photographs were

excellent. I would like to invite you to come and audition for the role of Susan

in my up-and-coming production of Back on Top.

Did I get any letters from the studio yet?

No.

You again I Want this job

That's worth some money

You got it

I've got a lot of beautiful girls around me.

You said this one looks innocent?

What's her name?

Okay, I tell you what, I've got some time tomorrow. Have her come by the

studio. We'll do some test shots.

She looks innocent, right?

Okay. Bye, Samuel.

Criminal took out his gun.

Criminal took out his... knife.

Criminal gave up.

Yes, that's it.

Good. All right. Now bring that right shoulder around.

Oh, nice.

Yes. Give me a kiss. Give me a kiss. Oh, yeah. Nice.

Very nice. Good.

Good. That is wonderful.

You're getting good at this, aren't you? How are you feeling? You feeling all

right? Okay, good. That looks good. All right.

Let's see. Okay, now I'm fine with the face. Now I just want to just take off

the top so we can have a look, see at your chest there.

I'm not wearing anything underneath. Really?

It's going to make it much easier to see your breath. Now, come on. Let's just

take it down and try it.

I'm serious.

You never said anything about me taking my top off.

I thought you were a professional. I didn't see the need to state the

obvious. Come on.

No. I'm not taking it off.

Then I guess you're just going to have to settle for being just another pretty

face who wouldn't go to the second yard, who didn't have what it takes to be a

star.

I guess so.

Look, wait a minute. I want to show you something, okay? Come on. Come on. I'll

show you something. Come on.

I'll show you.

Yeah. Come on.

Each and every one of them is a part of my work's life.

My life's work.

Now tell me, what do all these people have in common?

Well, they're all famous and they're naked.

You're missing their most intriguing quality, Peg.

They've got good business sense.

And their managers are fantastic.

I mean, this kind of stuff grabs people's attention.

And then from there, you can move on.

So what's it going to be?

Are we going to do this now?

Are we going to wait till you're 55?

No one wants to take a look.

Okay, I'm going to change.

That's my girl.

Got your note.

Said you were on a photo shoot.

How come it took so long?

Because.

How'd it go?

Pretty good.

Bring home some photos for Daddy?

No, I didn't bring home any photos.

They haven't been developed yet.

Sorry.

Me too.

Coco Pepper.

Coco Christie.

Can we get anything good?

Lucky Charm.

Alza, we're not opening a bar. We don't need all this.

We need this.

I need this.

Well, I'm not paying for it.

Would you stop it?

I should have brought you with me, huh?

Oh, fine.

Why don't you just leave me at home? Just roll my wheelchair into a corner

and just leave me there.

Just like every day.

That is not what I meant.

What do you want from me, huh?

What do you want from me anyway?

I don't want a goddamn thing from you!

Well, I'm not going to sit at home and watch you drink and feel sorry for

yourself.

Sit at home. When do you ever sit at home?

You're always out with your showbiz friends. You're out with Frank or

whoever doing whatever.

What the hell?

Did I get your attention?

Did I get your attention?

Huh?

Did I get your goddamn attention?

Grant here.

Hey, Grant. What's up?

Let me speak with Lydia.

Oh, Lydia.

Lover boy.

Make it quick.

Hello.

It's your Prince Charming.

Grant, hi.

Listen, I saw your commercial.

It's like I've got the young Marilyn Monroe hawking cars for me.

Really? Oh, my God. Thank you.

Is that fine? Yeah.

Good. Give me a kiss.

And remember that ride you promised me.

All right, Isabel. Great. So the Russians will be there at 10 a.m.?

That's great. Good.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Sorry, darling.

Business is business.

Yes, I see.

You're firing your secretary tomorrow, right? Because I don't want to tell him.

How's it going?

Same as always.

Same shit, different day.

What the hell happened to you?

Shark attack.

How much is it going to cost?

Depends on which way you want to go. Up, down, sideways?

I want to go up.

Read them.

Hope you brought your gold card.

Don't leave home without it Catch

you later.

Have a good one.

Watch out for those sharks

come out. We need to talk.

Just a minute.

What's going on?

You're off my back.

I'm your wife.

Why do you keep shutting yourself off from me?

You humiliated me in the supermarket.

I humiliated you? Who was the one who started breaking all the bottles, huh?

Who was the one who started acting like a lunatic?

That's not the problem. The problem is you can't keep out of my business.

I got a right to do what I want, where I want.

When I want, I can buy anything I want.

Yeah, well, I'm not going to let you try to kill yourself.

All you do is drink.

You're only going to make it... What?

Worse?

Yeah, worse.

How can it be worse?

Look at me.

Can't, can you?

Oh,

Grant. So beautiful.

You are wonderful.

Yeah? I'm right back at you.

Come and give mommy a kiss.

I love you, sweetie. I love you, too.

Oh, my God.

Aldo, do you want to kill yourself?

I am not going to let you.

You have your whole life ahead of you.

All this living.

I'm a child.

I'm not...

You're not my wife. You're my mother.

Aldo, I'm not going to let you just sit there and wallow.

I have been reading books. I've been reading books about medicine, about

people who are just like you, who are told that they will never walk again.

There are things that we can try.

I have the name of a physical therapist.

He is said to work wonders.

I don't need another charlatan.

I don't need magic, Peggy.

That's really a healthy attitude.

Don't give me platitudes.

I need to accept what's real.

And you can't.

You have all your dreams ahead of you, and I have nothing.

ever happened that love that you swore for us when we got married?

We loved each other once. Yeah.

That time in Paris.

And you said anything.

Anything for you. Anything for our love.

That eiffel tower over there. Anything.

Well, you're wrong, Blair.

Because our love is not dead.

I love you.

Anything is right.

I meant it then.

I mean it more than ever now.

You don't get it, do you? Enough is enough, Grant.

I'm sick of playing the fool.

Especially in front of my father.

Having him fire each new secretary that runs through the door.

Just because I don't like their voice. My God.

It's not that simple anymore. It's not like she's just another typing tart.

They're games.

Jealous little games.

Let's not play them.

You can win here.

I love you. You do not. Oh, God, stop lying to me. You don't love me. You love

my money, Grant.

Get out of my house right now. What are you doing?

Take your clothes and get out.

Pack them up and get out tonight. You can't shut me out. You came with them.

You leave with them. You need to talk about this. No, there's no more talking,

Grant. You get out of my house now.

Blair.

Blair.

Have you ever taken acting lessons?

No not much.

But right now, I'm enrolled in this improvisation class with Bob Peters.

Bob Peters?

That dilettante?

That fake? That imposter? That sex maniac? You're wasting your money!

Listen, do me a favor.

It'll be doing yourself a favor.

Rest a few minutes, change your clothes, and come up to my office and let me talk

to you.

I'll school you.

I'll teach you how to be an actress, all right?

Yes, sir.

Steve? Listen, this is so great. This chick, she's 19 years old. She's blonde.

She's like the new Kim Basinger, man. She's got an ass that'll keep you warm

for two winters. She is so cute. I'm going to make a million bucks on her. A

million ten.

Come here. Let me show you something.

Out there, that's your future.

I'm your future.

But it takes give and take between the two of us. I believe in this so much.

Don't you agree with me?

Wait, wait, stop. My husband's waiting at home. Your husband? What is your

husband going to say when you blow a career where you can get fame and

fortune and be somebody?

Don't you want a part in this movie?

I don't like your audition. Oh, God, you just don't understand.

Stop it.

I said stop it.

Oh, I'm glad you did that. That's a slap I won't forget. You'll never work in

this fucking town again.

You'll never have lunch in this town again. You'll never be able to take a

crap in this town again.

You scum. I'm sucking toes.

I guess you're not so naive after all.

Come in.

Oh, baby.

I'm so glad you're here.

Oh, I love you so much.

Oh, I love you and all of you.

Only you and not only you, baby. Nobody else, I swear. Just you, baby. Give me a

big kiss. Okay.

You liar.

I am having a really great day today.

Isabel, will you excuse us, please?

William! Sit down, sonny.

Now listen carefully.

From the little I've heard, you've cheated on my daughter.

She wants a divorce.

Do you want one?

No. No.

Your daughter left me. I would never want that.

I still love her and my son.

I've just been very busy with the Russian account. You should know that.

We're in a recession.

I mean, I'm keeping my nose to the grindstone to push these cars.

I might have neglected Blair through all this.

She's just playing out some jealous love scene.

Blair is a very serious woman. If she made the effort to leave you, she must

have had a very good reason.

Now let me remind you that I own 79% of the shares in this company.

Every bit of that stock is in my daughter's name.

God forbid you and Blair split up.

You're fired.

I'm glad we had this little chat.

That's so sexy.

Am I elegant?

Thank you.

Sorry, but they asked me to retrieve your card.

That's ridiculous.

I don't understand.

It's nothing I can do about.

Fine.

Listen, I'll send you a check in the morning, okay? Just mail it to this

address. Of course, Mademoiselle.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Have a good day.

What do you mean?

I mean, why are you using our credit card?

I don't work. I gotta do something.

You have to do something?

To buy what?

Supply.

I'm working on a few projects.

Projects? Uh-huh. Oh, that is good.

Father, we have got to talk.

You can't just sit around all day in that stupid little wheelchair doing

nothing. Oh, that's cruel.

You know, I... I'm doing these projects for my goddamn career.

You know, you're not the only person in this house with dreams.

Yeah, well, what do you want me to say, huh?

You want me to say that it's okay that you go out and spend all of our money?

The money that we are getting because of me?

My mother?

Are you proud of your mother?

No, I didn't say I was proud of my mother.

You know, you have a way of twisting everything that I say.

Twisting it all around.

You know, all I want is for you and me to be happy.

All you want is just to let me go away, just so you can forget about me, and so

you can go about your own stupid career and go out and find Prince Charming.

Here. Yeah.

What are you doing? Huh?

You can't break me off for another guy.

Stop it.

Is this what you've been begging for? No. Huh?

No. Is this what you're out looking for from another man? No, this is not what

I... Because I'm not a man!

I'm your husband.

You make love to me, not to anyone else.

Just me.

I don't want to make love to you. I'm not going to whore.

You did.

Hey.

Tell me.

Tell me.

You've taken all the sentiment out of our marriage. You've taken all the

sentiment out.

every night late like a fucking

Stay right here.

Peggy.

You know how I feel about you.

Yeah? A little worried.

You're only 17.

Dangerous. Actually, it's statutory rape.

No, but it doesn't matter.

I've dreamed of it.

Okay, we're not on Earth anymore, all right?

There is no age.

Okay? You're a real romantic.

Yep.

I'm going to make you one, too.

I've never done this before.

We don't have to.

No, I want to.

I want you to be my first.

My teacher of love.

You know what he did?

A few days ago, he actually tried to rape me.

What?

I don't understand that.

What do you mean you don't understand? He's your husband.

But it doesn't mean that I have to make love to him if I don't want to.

You don't want to make love to your husband?

It sounds like you're having trouble communicating.

You know, you haven't heard a word I've said.

You have the wrong expectations.

Marriages are constantly, you listen to me, changing and evolving.

There was a time when your father and I thought that we might call it quits.

Yes.

He starts seeing somebody from his health column.

I saw photos of you and other men and you were laughing.

I had a dream.

I dreamt of the first time we were together.

We were so happy.

I'll never forget that.

Grant, come on, that's Lydia.

Grant, what is the matter with you? You've been depressed all evening.

Is everything okay?

No, everything's not okay.

My wife's gone crazy with jealousy.

William, my father-in-law, came by the shop the other day, fired Isabel.

That's okay, no big deal there.

Cairo master's long gone.

Anyway, I need a new girl. I got some new Russian business partners coming in.

I want to schedule a new photo shoot.

Grant. Okay, firing Isabel. She's your secretary. No problem. But come on,

Lydia.

You're one of the most beautiful women in the world. She's not a flash in the

pan, Grant.

You're making me work much too hard.

Hey, you know, I think I might have a solution.

I met this new model. She's only 19, but she's beautiful. Look at that.

She's married, but her husband was in an accident. He's paralyzed.

He's in a wheelchair.

So I think she might be interested.

She's gorgeous. Of course.

I think I'm in love.

All right, fine.

Make the usual arrangements.

I'll schedule a photo shoot.

Talk up another one for Casanova.

Frankie, you overestimate me. I'm just wanting to get to know her for the

purpose of the ads.

Of course. So tell me something.

You got a girlfriend, sweetie?

Yeah. You do?

Yeah. And what's her name?

Angelique.

And Julie, what does she look like?

She's pretty.

She is? Is she as pretty as Mommy? No.

Well, I hope not.

And the hand up, one of the air things. And then the other hand touches your arm

and down.

Nice. Oh, very nice.

Okay.

And chin down a little bit to the left.

To your left. Remember the left side. Emphasize the left side. That's my girl.

You're in there.

Beautiful. I love it.

Nice.

I've been waiting for your arrival.

I've recently been separated from my husband.

I believe he's living with another woman somewhere.

I want proof that he's cheating on me and I want it right away.

I understand.

I'm willing to pay you extra if you come up with the information right now.

Do you have a photo?

Yeah, well you're probably right.

Just have a photo shoot, that's all.

I won't be back till late.

Okay?

Oh.

Yeah. Whoa!

That was the way it was for me and your daddy.

Uh-huh.

Would love it for...

I was thinking more that you're Jane, and I could be Tarzan, or I could be

Cheetah, if you like.

Whatever you... I could do that. I think Tarzan would be good.

Let me get this out.

Do you love me?

I take it you have something for me.

This ought to make things a lot easier for your divorce lawyer.

Why?

I ran a background check on the girl.

She's 19 years old.

Your husband visits her apartment every night.

They seem very much in love.

Anyway, Peggy is an aspiring actress and model.

I managed to make a duplicate key to her apartment.

Here's the address.

Use it at your own discretion.

Thank you very much for your service.

I'm so very sorry Goodbye

What the hell did you do to this chicken?

What are you talking about?

You tried to poison me.

You tried to poison me, didn't you? Just like your wacko mother.

Murder runs in your family.

What are you talking about? God damn it!

Tell me the truth! I am!

You tried to poison me!

I didn't. Stop it.

You didn't? You're hurting me. You didn't? No, I didn't. All right.

Eat it.

You eat it.

Eat the chicken!

If you can keep it down!

If you can keep it down!

You chicken!

Damn it! You're hurting me!

Try to poison me, huh?

What a great way to get rid of me, huh?

So you can run off with one of your lovers.

That's not true.

Meg.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

I don't... I don't know what I...

It's our anniversary.

You just stay with me.

You poison me? Like a rat?

Like a dirty rat!

my special room, Peggy!

Peggy! You're not to be in my special room, Peggy!

Hello?

Yeah, Frank, Grant here.

Listen, I got a situation.

What's up?

Peggy called last night. Her husband's gone nuts.

Gotten very violent.

You're kidding.

Must be on drugs.

Anyway, she's staying at my apartment.

She's crying day and night.

Afraid if Aldo finds her that he'll kill her.

So I'm going to take her out, buy her some clothes. She left everything at the

house.

Grant, I'd like to help.

Maybe I can get her some work.

That'd be great.

You know, I think I love this girl.

When my divorce is final, I'm going to marry her.

Grant, when have I heard that before, huh?

This is ridiculous.

Is this how I'm going to have to see my son every week? Your son does not want

to see you.

Let me out, Daddy!

Oh, really?

I have the right to see my son.

You lost that right when you decided to shack up with an 18-year-old minx.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Congratulations. I hear she's very beautiful.

I'm sure she'll be shacking up with another 18-year-old when you get a

little old, huh?

Now don't try to stop me.

You do and I'll shoot you.

You would never use that gun.

You don't have it in you. You think not?

I'm an excellent marksman.

You wouldn't dare.

What is the matter with you?

Get out of my house! This is my house too. I said get out right now!

Look at this.

Huh?

Oh, so it's come to this, spying on me.

I said leave my house. I don't want to see your face until court day. You got

it?

Dear Aldo, enclosed for your review are photographs that prove that my husband,

Grant Alexander, is living with your wife, Peggy.

I've also enclosed a copy of their apartment key.

I only want one thing from you.

Don't touch my husband.

I want him back.

We have a seven-year-old boy named Noah, and he misses him very much.

Best wishes for your health.

Blair Alexander.

Hello, Dad.

Blair, I love you, and I'm trying to protect you.

Okay? You can't keep the man from seeing his son.

Your jealousy is not your best advisor.

Dad.

Blair, the man comes over to apologize, and you pull a gun on him?

That's incredibly stupid.

Hello?

Look. I know you're going through a rough period in your marriage.

Blair?

Hello?

Blair?

bloody money and now you killed my marriage. Keep laughing, Al. Just keep

laughing. Keep smiling.

Hi, Grant.

Frank, what's up?

You want a drink? No, no, no. Sorry, Grant. Bad news.

Aldo came to the studio today.

All right, why?

He asked me where Peggy was. I told him I don't know.

Last time I saw Peggy was ten days ago.

He didn't believe a fucking word I said.

He started thrashing the studio. He broke two of my lenses, all my strobes.

I wanted to call the police, but I didn't want to expose you and Peggy, so

he said he was going to find Peggy and kill her.

And her lover, too, Grant. I came over here as soon as I could. As soon as I

could to warn you.

This guy, he's desperate.

I mean, he's crazy.

Anything could happen if he finds Grant.

All right, all right. Don't worry.

I mean, Peggy and I, we're out of here. We're going to New York. Good, good.

We gotta get to New York as soon as possible.

Are you serious?

Absolutely.

I'm making arrangements tomorrow.

Things are too crazy around here.

Your husband attacking you.

Blair threatening me with a gun.

No, we definitely gotta let things settle down.

God, I love you.

Taking a sleep now?

Absolutely.

Do you think you could keep the light on?

Keep it on?

Yeah.

Why?

Because I'm afraid of the dark.

Thank you.

Better? Much.

Death do us part.

free.

Peggy! Peggy!

Remember the dream you told me so many times That I held you in my arms

The waves of emotions were rising high We felt like Hollywood

stars Then we ran away And we left the world behind

We took her right to her and time goes down. We never thought about it twice.

We didn't care what fate was all about.

As long as the world goes around.

So let's drive away and let's leave this world behind.

Stay with me now.

Always safe in my arms.

Come ride with me and you would need another one.
