Welcome boy. Welcome

Thank you for coming to wait for me.

Now it.

It is the least I could do.

Too bad this is not the best of circumstances!

It was really a terrible thing.

A blow hard to bear.

Boy. - wait.

How was the trip, George? Tiring?

Only the first six thousand miles.

It seems that the two poles, north and south, flew .

And it wasn't just the flight from Paris.

I received your telegram when I was in Biarritz

and I had to drive all night to get back to Paris.

Not to mention the incredible series of problems I faced

until you get a plane ticket.

Crafty, my friend, you can't imagine what I went through.

I imagine, but know that

I thought it was wonderful that you left everything to come here.

I really enjoyed it, George.

- I know if Charlie had ... Forget it. I came because I wanted to.

Gentlemen, I wait for you down there, at the exit of the car.

My car is parked outside. It's a black Rolls Royce MC1.

I know it's very busy, but no one better than you

to say a few words at Charlie's funeral.

- Yes, I understand. I'll do my best.

- Although that is not my specialty. - Don't say that, man.

- I made some notes on the plane ... - You will do well.

Come in and serve people. I'll take care of the luggage.

Go ahead, open it fast. Come on

Janie ... what a joy to see you.

- Kenneth isn't here yet? - He's desperate not to be able to come.

There's the Hillcrift golf championship semifinal .

Franny. - George, what a pleasure to see you.

- Too bad we're not ... - In better circumstances.

Of course, I didn't know Charlie intimately

he was more friends with my husband than mine. But I admired him.

What happened, where is everyone?

In fact, I don't think anyone else will come.

Franny and I have been here for over an hour.

Did they give the wrong address?

Absurd. My office sent all the telegrams.

Harry was sorry but he doesn't come,

some very important customers arrived from Ohio.

Hey, Sue, I'm here at the beach house.

No one has arrived yet. What's

I know you sent telegrams, but I had to confirm it over the phone.

Did you confirm by phone?

The golf championship cannot be a justification for anyone to come.

But if today is Tuesday. No one goes to Palm Springs before ...

before the weekend.

What about the Writers' Association? I think they will send someone.

Should how many annuities?

Patience

Apparently, it's one of those days when everyone is busy.

Craft, why don't we start? I don't think anyone else will come.

Now? But ...

Shouldn't we wait a few more minutes?

Boy, actually

it is not what we expected.

But you have to accept, that's it.

Only U.S?

And if they're on the way, stuck in traffic or something.

I would be the last to rush you in a case like this,

but today I will have dinner at La Rue.

- So let's cut it short, shall we? - Sure, sure.

I'm not very good at these things.

Sir, I brought a ribbon with Handel's Messiah

- sung by a Vienna choir. Thanks.

- Save for a better occasion. - We will.

Okay, here we are,

those who were friends with Charlie Sorel,

gathered in this house while out there, in the vastness of the ocean, Charlie lies.

First of all I want to thank you wholeheartedly for being here.

I know poor Charlie would have ... well, I don't know if he would have felt

very happy for the number of congregants,

but if he would like to see that those who loved him in life

gathered to honor him in death.

Morton Craft, his faithful agent,

the lovely Mrs. Salzman, Franny for all of us,

who is here on behalf of your husband, Harry Salzman,

head of Charlie's studios. And Janie,

Mrs. Kenneth Highland, whose husband directed several scripts for Charlie.

Sorry, my clumsiness, but it is not an easy task.

The sad and strange circumstances of his death

make it very difficult to express everything you deserve ...

our poor and deceased friend.

Let us always remember his undoubted love for the good life,

your superior knowledge of wines and ...

and also his perfect tennis technique.

And so many things. Your courage

on the ski slopes.

And finally, it would be unfair not to praise its value

to the hostesses of our group as a single man.

That in itself, as Franny will be the first to recognize,

it is no small thing.

The number of single , attractive men

that can be notified at the last minute

it is certainly quite limited.

Charlie was Charlie, what else can I add?

Some loved him, others hated him and others loved and hated him at the same time.

The point is that he left us, and in the words of a certain writer,

Not sneaky, but with a bang!

And that's all. I regret not being more eloquent,

but speeches are not my specialty.

It was beautiful, George. Simply gorgeous.

Yes, precious. - Very good taste, boy.

And also very emotional.

I'm so happy to have seen you, and I'm sorry to have to leave so soon,

but I am president of the Beverly Hills PTA

- and I have a lot of work ... Goodbye, Franny, a hug to Harry.

I assure you that I did not believe I was capable of doing so.

I will spend eight days sleeping without interruption.

You need this, boy.

I think you will find everything you need here.

When you have a moment take a look at it

Charlie's property.

In his will he names you executor.

To me? Why such stupidity?

Don't worry, when you find out the financial situation

you will see that there is no such stupidity.

Your assets are more or less this house, a car and clothes.

The house is mortgaged, has a debt on the car

and most clothes are not paid for.

So many overdue taxes? He never paid?

I was allergic to that.

Anyway, as you just said, Charlie was Charlie.

Goodbye friend, make yourself at home.

I will contact you.

Bye Janie. - Bye, Craft.

Goodbye George, I have to go too.

It was great to see you again, and what you said touched me ...

Don't get up. It really moved me.

After listening to you, I feel like a better and more ...

noble.

George somewhere in this house is my evening dress.

I left it on one occasion.

I couldn't go back for him in broad daylight, do you understand?

- I understand, do you want me to look? - No, no, dear,

but if you find it ... send it to me.

- It's original and it cost me $ 850. - Yes, do not worry.

Thank you, George. Goodbye.

- I'll take your bags to the room. Thanks.

- Excuse me sir. Yes?

They called from the office, they will remove the chairs tomorrow.

Thanks.

Anything else for tonight, sir?

In all sincerity, I hope not.

- Good night, sir. - Good evening.

Charlie, unforgettable friend,

I will miss you.

Forgive the intrusion.

I'm sorry, but the funeral is over. Everyone's gone.

Sorry to bother you, but I met this young woman on the road and ...

- Dude, you and your friend ... - She's not my friend. I was ...

How to say? She was without clothes.

And I borrowed my coat.

Ah, look for the Malibu hotel, right? Very well then ...

No, I'm going to Santa Barbara, for a very important dinner,

my mom's birthday and I'm late.

- She asked me to bring her here. On here?

Why the hell here? I never saw her in my life.

He didn't ask me exactly, but seeing the house ... his house,

made me stop and enter with her. If you don't mind, I'm on my way.

Hey, wait a minute. First, this is not my home

You don't know me, do you?

What not?

Is she stupid? - I'm afraid she's sick. Memory...

- It must be amnesia. - Oh come on.

I had thought about going to the doctor or to a hospital.

- Well, take it. - Not here. On here.

Look for Charlie Sorel, right? It's one of his friends. Not?

Charlie Sorel.

- Charlie ... Sorel ... - There is no doubt that she knows this place.

It must be ... Hell! Forgive the language,

my mom will be disappointed if i don't get in time to cut the cake.

- You won't leave here without her. - I'll call you tomorrow.

You found it, it's yours. Falls!

Times!

I am very grateful to you, don't worry about my coat.

I wish the young woman to recover fully and quickly.

Bye - Come back, come back here.

She is sick!

You cannot leave it in that state!

Times!

Hey you Hey, Madame X, wake up. Talk to me

Okay, don't talk to me, I'll talk to me.

How was your day today, George? Unbelievable.

Wow, how she accepted

there he offered no resistance.

Good.

- What did you give me? - Cognac.

Want to tell me where it comes from?

Do not know.

I have no idea, I don't remember anything.

Ah yes. Amnesia.

Amnesia? - Yes woman, yes,

a television disease, but you don't worry.

Let's see, what do you remember?

Just being on the road and the man who gave me the coat.

I was shaking in the car, and seeing this house,

I felt that if I could get in I would be safe.

Safe? At Charlie Sorel's?

Charlie Sorel?

She must have known him well, which is why the house impressed her.

Get up and take a good look.

Come on

Continue.

Nothing, huh?

Well, you have to do something.

I know a hospital that is nearby. I'm going to order a taxi.

- Please do not. - Please, yes.

Please leave me here. I will definitely remember something.

- Only until tomorrow. Please. - See you tomorrow? Are you crazy?

Maybe I don't know but she is a very beautiful girl.

Furthermore, she is not dressed for the night.

Also, whoever tells me that he doesn't have a huge husband

What are you looking for at this moment everywhere?

What the hell.

I'm too tired. Come on.

Come on.

Come on!

Come on, it's all yours. Come on.

The bathroom is here.

Now, first thing tomorrow, sick or not,

We'll do it another way. According?

- Good evening. Thanks.

- What is your name? - My name...

My name ... I think I forgot. My name is George Tracy.

George ... Tracy? - Do not worry.

My name will not tell you anything.

Charlie Sorel, this is the only one that really matters to you.

This is his house. Do you remember Charlie Sorel?

Strong man with ... Let's leave this.

I think it has everything. Good evening.

Not! Please do not leave me. - We will do something.

I'll leave the door open. It's the most I can do.

Good evening.

Shut up, you have nothing to fear! All is well. Calm down.

Nothing happens, it's safe. Calm down

Like this.

To be a young girl you have lungs of a diver.

What is it? A nightmare?

- George, don't you know me? - Yes I yes.

Who doesn't know you is you, that's the problem.

George, look at me.

- You want to go to sleep? George, I'm Charlie.

I'm Charlie Sorel. - Oh come on.

I'm Charlie ... Sorel.

Yes, yes, nothing is missing. Whatever you say.

Whatever you say. Whatever you want.

And now ... please sleep before I hit your head with this lamp!

George.

- I understand that less than you do. - Again.

I'm Charlie Sorel.

I suddenly understood everything in dreams.

- in dreams? Thanks. - George, wake up, please.

George, I am your best friend, Charlie Sorel.

We will discuss it tomorrow morning. Good evening.

George, it's true. Leo Sartori took me by surprise with Rusty

- on the yacht and shot me. - Well done.

Hey, George, listen to me.

His name is George W. Tracy. W is from Wellington.

You live on 231 Clever Avenue in Paris,

and his phone number is Balzac-4889.

You have a spot on your left shoulder .

Miss, I don't know what a joke this is

but today I had a very busy day and ...

Stand up!

In 1950, we wrote a script together based on an argument

that you sold to the studio.

We had a secretary called Shirley "I don't know what",

who lived on Fountain Avenue, and none of us knew

that the other had to do with her until one afternoon we stumbled

In the stairs. A rainy Sunday afternoon. Yes or no?

Who told you all this?

Was it Crafty?

Your bank in Paris is the branch of the City Bank at Place Vendôme.

Two years ago you cashed a check for me for a thousand dollars.

It was without funds, but I covered it when I won the Cannes festival.

I gave you the money in chips. Do you remember?

And that same weekend you almost drowned when my outboard

hit you on the head. Doesn't that prove I'm Charlie?

It just proves that you knew Charles

and that Charlie told him all this.

I am the Charlie piece of mule!

And the time you took the producer’s girlfriend,

a cool redhead, to Tijuana to see a bullfight?

You got stuck there because she wasn’t an American citizen

and was not allowed to enter or leave.

Got it.

I got it.

You were one of Charlie's girls.

He promised you marriage or he borrowed money from you.

Yes, you are wasting your time. Won't marry you

nor will he refund the money because he is dead.

M-O-R-T-O

You can stay tonight, Tomorrow breakfast and leave.

Now you will see.

I didn't mean to hurt you but you asked.

Remember that at Christmas three months ago, you were in Saint Moritz

with a Harper model, Elsa Underwood.

You were so crazy about her that you even talked about marriage.

But she received a telegram from Dick Averon

and had to go back to Paris immediately for some pictures.

Nothing from Dick Averon, or telegram was fake.

She went to find a guy.

- The two settled in a hotel ... - At the Ritz, George.

In a suite overlooking Vendome Square.

The other guy was me. I'm sorry.

You bastard, you rascal! I should have seen it.

It was not good, George!

My good friend Charlie Sorel, he took it upon himself to show me, didn't he?

Yes, you were over-committing yourself. I couldn't leave ...

- Rascal, traitor! - I did it for you.

- Word of honor. - A word of honor from Charles Sorel !.

You were falling apart. I couldn't leave ...

Okay Charlie! Enough!

You've already convinced yourself who I am.

Is that true?

And you understand why I was screaming. This is stupid nonsense.

What happens? George, what can I do?

And then that man in a big black Ferrari

slowly, put me in the coat, put me in the car ...

I know everything about this part.

But in relation to the transition you would notice something

Recognize that it is not easy to assimilate.

Are you saying that to me?

Lets go to what matters. Stop worrying about small details

and let's think about this terrible general situation.

What do they want from me? How long will this last?

I will not continue like this for the rest of my life.

Charlie, please stay calm, let's not lose our heads.

Anyway,

there is probably a very simple explanation for all this.

- Oh yes, which one? - Do not know.

And stop yelling at me or I'll get out of here.

I have no problem and you do.

I am not a girl and you are.

George, no ... you can't leave me. I'm stuck.

Good...

God knows I do my best to help you, but apparently

- my best is not enough. - You have to help me.

At least for a while. If you try to leave me ...

If you leave me, I swear I will return to the black waters of the ocean

and I drown ...

the way

things are, I'll probably bounce back

like a yo-yo.

Well, okay, but no anger. Calm down

Yes agreed.

- Good boy. I calm down.

Even so

Still, I still am. And I calm down.

And what else?

Now ...

we will analyze the matter calmly and as realistically as possible.

You Charlie Sorel for reasons we don't understand,

and that it’s probably better to ignore

you are no longer a man, you are a girl.

If only it were something else!

If I had reached that beach in another way,

animal, vegetable, mineral, but not girl. Girl not!

Come on Charlie, it's not fair. You didn't do badly with the opposite sex,

I think you liked girls.

In fact, it was one of his biggest problems in life.

Let me say a few things about those wonderful women, George:

crazy, dangerous, neurotic, insane,

as harmless and tender as a machine gun blast.

It has lovers as easily as cherries are tasted.

But if you harmlessly take a girl to a cafe ... Bang!

They lie to me, you, your husbands, your lover, your psychiatrists,

and to the supermarket checkout.

I know I was accused of mistreating women,

and it's true.

- But only in self-defense. Charlie ...

suddenly.

Suddenly I see everything veiled clear.

- Everything that? - That's what's happening to you.

There are wise prophecies ...

And you are the chosen creature.

What are you talking about?

From the Old Testament, the great prophecy,

- "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". - Shut up, you give me the creeps.

All of this is of astonishing greatness !

All your life you've taken advantage of women.

You were the wolf loose among the flock.

And here's the deserved and just punishment

tailored to punish your crime.

The tables are overturned, Charlie.

Today you are the prey rather than the hunter.

What a horrible feeling.

As if in all my life I had been a tremendous glutton

and now I’ve become a lamb chop.

George, did you see that I left you with the left?

Ah yes? Okay, Charlie.

Imagine my left, my famous left hook.

You always said you were mortal.

You should have collapsed like a sack of potatoes.

Sim

Nothing. Nothing! This is too much! I can not stand!

I may not have been an example of perfection ...

- Calm! - I can deserve punishment!

- But not that, not that! - Sit here!

Don't worry, let's work this out together, huh?

I will bring you a drink, don't move.

Think of something, George. Think. - We will think.

There have to be many possibilities and we will explore them all.

Charlie, did you run out of vodka?

Look on the shelf, I was hiding bottles there.

To shelf?

What possibilities? Tell me a little.

In the first place it can happen that all of this disappears.

Then there would be no problem. Where on the shelf?

Behind "War and Peace". Where would I hide the vodka?

War and peace.

- And if it doesn't disappear, what happens? - War and peace!

Answer!

In that case, we have all medical science at our fingertips.

It could be something glandular, or maybe metabolism,

or maybe even a good psychiatrist.

- Do you think they can help us? - Do not know.

But it's worth trying.

You're right.

Worth it. At this point I would try anything.

That's the way I like it. We'll go to that doctor in Beverly Hills. What is your name...?

Kresser, Cossler, Kingsley ... or something.

He treated all of Crafty's customers and they are excited.

They say he's a magician. I will make an appointment for this afternoon. The phone is ...

I don't know what I would do if I had to face this without you.

It doesn't matter.

- You are the only friend I have. - We must not exaggerate.

What are those things for? Were you going to play a bingo game here?

No, yesterday we celebrated your funeral here.

Really? Many people?

Well ... to be honest, we try not to advertise.

Just true friends.

And I pronounced a kind of compliment on his qualities.

You don't know how they were affected. No one had dry eyes.

Thanks man. A funeral ...

And why not? Charlie Sorel is over. No longer exists.

The only thing left of it is this ruin.

Don't be pessimistic. I need to see the bright side of things.

You're a girl, so what? This is not the end of the world.

Did it hurt Greta Garbo to be a woman?

E Madame Curie, Florence Nightingale ...?

I could name a thousand women, all women.

Little jewels you named.

Try to see on the positive side,

The $ 75,000 in taxes you owe?

They will have to turn around to collect them.

If I just don't pay them, I'm glad.

Now, first things first. You have to get dressed.

I'm going to the boutique in Malibu to buy you something.

A dress .. Okay, jeans and shirt to start. jeans,

It will be more familiar to you.

And ... you will also need something underneath ... yes.

What bad luck. Last week I bought two dozen underwear.

- I would say you have the size ... 7? - Don't talk nonsense.

In the meantime, I'm going to take a shower and shave.

This may be the explanation.

A basic concept in the religion of ancient Egypt,

the "concept of reincarnation". it's you, Charlie, reincarnation.

In general, the transmigration of the soul was reserved for those who

he had led a decent life on earth.

And "these lucky souls returned in the form of birds".

Try to flap your wings, Charlie.

- "Similar beliefs ..." George, come here!

George, look at this.

"Similar beliefs existed among certain prehistoric peoples

Incas and Mayans. However, the priests believed that the soul

would survive on the land as a bush, tree or other plant and ... "

What do you think?

Go Go.

What mother nature does.

Imagine ...

I don't need to go to the cinema to see Brigitte Bardot anymore ,

I just need to go home and lower the blinds.

What stupid things you say ... And button that shirt!

Sim

This is absurd.

I feel so ...

female.

In the bathroom, I felt the ridiculous desire to paint my toenails.

Paint your nails? It seems to me that you are changing.

Look, we have several very serious problems to solve.

Your business is a real mess.

My mind is Charlie Sorel's,

And I don't need to tell you how it is.

But it mixes with something soft, soft, sweet ...

Come on, this is not a reason to justify

certain inclinations ... I already understand, serenity and calm.

I am the same as always. You changed

I? No no ... What am I going to change?

Do you find me attractive? From man to man, tell me the truth.

Charlie, you are without a doubt, a very attractive girl.

- And now let's go to business. - Business, business ...

Do you only know how to talk about it?

No wonder American women are so disappointed.

Charlie, are you broke, you know?

These are the assets, which you have kindly made me an executor.

You are not only broken, you are broke.

And I can't help you because I spent the last money I had left

to come here for your goddamn funeral.

How prosaic.

It is incomprehensible that you worry about money. You are an artist

- an intelligent and sensitive person. Thanks.

And now come down from the clouds you have the water up to your neck.

Charlie Sorel sim. Pobre Charlie.

What's going on in your wicked brain?

Do not know. I am full of confidence.

I felt it the moment I put on these clothes.

Better said, before I start wearing them.

The world is full of fools, George. We both know that.

Women, men or whatever.

I have enough equipment to deceive everyone.

Don't tell me that you consider this a springboard for some new scam?

I didn't ask for that.

They imposed me.

Answer me one thing: How am I going to live?

You are a writer, right?

You are going through an experience that, to say the least, is unique.

What Tennessee Williams would give for being in your place.

Or Arthur Miller, or Henry Miller.

Yes, it has literary possibilities. There's no doubt.

- Thanks George for your advice. - You're welcome.

Well, let's look at the papers to see what we can save.

For the love of God, visitors!

Go to the bedroom. Whoever it is, I'll kick it out of here.

- What a surprise!

- How was it in Santa Barbara? Very well, thank you.

I was on my way to the city and happened to come here ..

Sure. You want your coat. I will search. Just a moment.

- No, no, I didn't come to ... - Sorry ..

I didn't come for the coat. I felt compelled to ask

- for the girl's health. - Your health is splendid. Thanks.

Last night she looked very sick. Are you sure you recovered?

To some extent, but tonight she slept very well.

Hi

Hi

- You don't want to come in? - Yes with pleasure.

I think it's better I'm ... I'm happy.

I really appreciate your concern for me. Thanks.

I thank you.

Let me introduce myself. Bruce Milton III.

George Tracy o ... uh ... She's ...

Sra. Charles Sorel. Sra. Charles ... Sorel.

Nice to meet you.

- Sra. Sorel? - Sim,

I'm a widow.

- I'm sorry. - A great tragedy.

I lost my husband, one of the best men I have ever met

was taken from me at the height of his life,

of your talent, of your beauty.

Life belongs to the living.

We have to continue.

We have a lot to do ...

I thank you above all for your generosity last night.

- It was a pleasure to be able to help you.

After all, I was walking around in that ... sad state.

I could have met ... with someone,

some horrible man instead of a gentleman.

Thanks. I know the gratitude of a poor widow is not much, but ...

Yes it is. It means a lot to me.

Know that you are well and recovered.

- Makes me happy. - Oh, what a great virtue

take an interest in a poor stranger.

Of course, now that I'm fine, we don't need to be strangers.

Dr. Casel's office? I want to make an appointment, please.

It's an emergency, Mrs. Charlie. No, on Thursday at 4 no.

Impossible. Can't change the time with another customer?

This emergency can explode at any time.

Oh! Thank you.

Did you come today with that new Ferrari?

Wonderful, black is my favorite color.

Mine too. It is the new model with four carburetors

special sports model.

My mom gave it to me for my birthday.

I hope you agree to take a walk on it when it's okay.

I would love to.

God, how late! What a pity to have to leave you,

but i have to go to town to fix my hair.

It looks awful. George ... ... give me the car keys.

- I don't know if I should ... - Certainly.

Do you still have a Sax account? Fifth Avenue?

- Wait a second! I need some things.

Thank you, George, you are a love.

I don't know what I would have done without George in those circumstances.

Bye, Bruce. Sorry George.

Excuse me. Only a moment!

- I'm in a hurry. - Slowly.

What was that unpleasant conversation there?

I was testing my possibilities.

They work, George. It's pure dynamite,

I put it at 100 in a minute and still doing nothing.

You don't go to Sax, I made an appointment for you with Dr. Casel at three.

- This is the address. - Who?

The psychiatrist!

I? I'm really better than ever .

You don't know how hard it is to make an appointment with this guy.

- I had to ... - Why don't you go, George?

I? - Yes, you look very bad.

You are on the verge of collapse. That's how crazy people start.

See you later.

Excuse

mr. Tracy, can I ask you a question?

Are you interested ... sentimental about Mrs. Sorel?

I would like to see you again, but I would not like to disturb ...

I'm just your best friend!

That is, the husband.

And in his will he appointed me executor.

I mean, manager of your assets.

It's pretty clear, isn't it?

Sim

So you don't mind that I go back to see Mrs. Sorel?

With honorable intentions, of course.

Thank you thank you very much.

Let me add that it made me very happy.

Deeply happy.

Did you want something? - yea

- I want everything. All?

Sim

All. - Are you a new customer?

Baby, I'm new everywhere.

- Can you give me your name? Mrs. Charles Sorel.

I see that Franny Salzman also has time for today.

- Do you know Mrs. Salzman? I know her. But she doesn't know me.

You can tell him that I came.

It hasn't arrived yet, but I'll gladly tell you.

- Follow me please. - Yes, until the end of the world.

Gabriel, you broke up with mrs. Carter?

- No, it's going to clean the skin. Wow. Thanks

Connie, what cabin is free for Mrs. Sorel?

Dose cabins.

It is very small. She wants complete treatment.

- I can give you number five. Great.

This way, Mrs. Sorel.

Sra. Sorel.

Sidney, Sidney ...! See what these idiots did to me!

- Look at that color! - Very cute.

Do not worry about a thing.

What barbarity, what day they are giving me

- Now, if you want to wear this robe. - Crazy.

- Soon they will come to take care of you. - Thank you Princess.

Strange, I don't feel the same as before.

I don't want too curly. I told you from the beginning.

Mrs. Salzman, you won't be curly.

Mrs. Salzman, do you know Mrs. Charles Sorel?

Mrs. Charles Sorel? There is no such person.

The lady in cabin five insists that it is Mrs Charles Sorel.

- And says he knows you. - Are you safe?

This is impossible.

Janie, you won't believe it, it's the most fantastic thing I've ever heard ...

Speak louder.

Did you know that Charlie had a wife?

Legitimate woman? Do not tell me.

It's here now. In cabin five.

Come in girls. Come in.

Let's see if I get it right. Which of you two is Franny Salzman?

I'm Franny. This is Janie Highland.

Yes. My husband talked a lot about you.

Were you married to Charlie?

- Are you surprised? - No, no.

But he never told us he was married.

Of course, I wanted to keep it a secret. He feared it would damage his career.

I can't imagine what career he would have.

I don't like to criticize the dead.

Charlie was a good boy, but mischievous.

You know what men are like.

But I must admit that Charlie was quite a man.

He always told me about his adventures.

I cried a little and then forgave.

Did he tell you everything? All?

I tell you, it was very naughty. So charming and loving ...

- You don't know how I miss him. - I imagine.

I bet you do.

We have a lot to talk. Because you...

- I would love to, but ... - I have a committee meeting.

It's about mental health.

There is no health without eating.

What? According?

In the bistro? The one?

Okay. Great.

See you later, girls.

How do you want your nails, Mrs. Sorel?

Long and sharp.

Latest details on the case of the internationally famous

film producer Sir Leopold Sartori.

Sir Leopold, who was released yesterday on $ 50,000 bail,

- appeared in court ... - Yes Yes ...

I already know that Mr. Sorel left many debts.

... Charles Sorel, the screenwriter, who was invited on Sartori's yacht

when the fatal accident happened ...

Janie, come in, will you? And you Franny, on my left.

- So ... - I see you're not wearing a wedding ring.

No, now that I'm a widow I don't have to use it.

I know it looks tough, with poor Charlie

the bottom of the ocean turns into fish food.

but after all we don't live in the middle ages,

when widows threw themselves into the flames.

It would have been different if Charlie had been faithful to me,

- Then I would feel more obliged. - Do we order now? Waiter!

Girls, I have special reasons to talk to you.

Ah yes?

I'm not going to bore you with math, but Charlie left me

almost without a penny.

I could stay and work as a model or in the cinema, maybe,

I'm sure you can help me

or their husbands.

But what I really want is to leave Hollywood,

maybe I will go back to Europe.

Unfortunately I have no money.

What a shame. Let me help you.

I also want to help you stay away from such bad memories.

I knew Charlie's friends would be my friends!

Waiter, two blank sheets and a pen.

Well, you just need a one-way ticket, right?

And you know, today everyone travels in economy class.

And for the time being you will lead a withdrawn life.

In Charlie's memory I have to maintain certain appearances,

but I think I can get by with $ 10,000,

that's $ 5,000 each.

Frankly, I am willing to help you, but not to that extent.

I say the same.

Ok, girls, if you ca n't help me with money

- maybe you can give me some advice. Everything you want.

- Shoot. - Please don't use that word.

I will have to resort to other, more embarrassing means .

Charlie's diary.

I will publish a wonderful series in a newspaper or magazine.

"Hollywood Bachelor", by his wife, or "Midnight in Malibu".

Did Charlie have a diary?

Writers! - Day by day.

And sometimes when I was in a hurry, hour by hour.

Seriously, with all this publicity going on,

would reach a very high price. Thanks.

Tell me who can I handle such a delicate matter with?

Or do you prefer to ask your husbands?

There is a chapter that in itself would inspire a film.

A weekend in San Francisco and an intense night in a den

that even the devil himself would avoid.

And also when he and a certain person were locked up one night

at Disneyland.

Apparently for Charlie there was nothing sacred.

Imagine Disneyland.

Do you want to tell me you sold a story?

To whom?

Oh, two independents. You do not know.

You were gone a long time.

How lucky Charlie.

They gave me $ 10,000 in advance and they are going to give much more.

A lot more!

I do this as posthumous honors to Charles Sorel.

Great, Charlie. You must put it in the diary format.

George, you are a genius! A diary!

Why can't I think these things myself?

Hello? Yes beach house of the late and great Charles Sorel.

Who? Yes, it's right here. For you.

Say it? Who? Oh yes, put it on.

You will die laughing when you know who calls me, Sir Leopold.

Hi Leo.

Yes, that's it. Yes, I saw it on television.

Congratulations. Yes, it's a good picture.

No, you will look older,

What? Tonight? You don't mean it.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Tonight he will throw a party to celebrate his freedom

- and has the courage to invite me. - A party? Great!

- No, sorry, I won't be able to go. - Yes, you can go.

You know, I just got off the plane. It was a very long journey.

With the change of time and all that ... Excuse me for a moment. Wait please.

- What are you doing? - I wanna go.

Do you want to go to the party of the man who killed you?

- "Live and let live". Please. Not!

Leo, I will do my best.

Maybe I can go, but don't count on it.

Goodbye, Leo.

You and Sartori, at a party, celebrating his freedom,

after he killed you.

It is not only indecent, it is crazy!

My humble house

Even if it was a palace, I couldn't love it as I love these four walls.

Full of glamor ...

Turn on the air conditioning downstairs. Bowling.

I don't even want to remember the tragedy in which I was involved.

Furthermore, it would be an indiscretion,

since the case is, as we say in Latin, "subdued".

However, my experiences inspired me to embark

in a new film based on Galileo's incarceration.

Starring Richard Burton.

Stephen, bring me a telegram form . I'll send now

- an idea of ​​the plot. - Well, Mr. Leopold.

How to describe my impressions,

when the prison doors opened and I was free again,

with the green grass under my feet, and the blue sky above my head?

Sir Leopold, how long were you in prison?

- about 45 minutes. - Rusty, dear!

Sorry, the champagne is ready to be served.

Champagne ... oh, forgive me.

Very cold. Let it rest

a few minutes before serving.

Dinner will be served immediately.

Naturally, there will be dancing.

And then there's the Hollywood string quartet

who will interpret delicious Mozart songs.

And in the screening room we’ll have the new movie "Hucky Charusy",

a Japanese version of "Little Women".

With so little time I was unable to prepare anything special for tonight.

I beg you to forgive me.

I thank everyone who came tonight.

This is extraordinary.

What a surprise.

You are the girl I admired so much.

"Rise and decline of the Aztec empire".

Truth? But I was only a human sacrifice

- and we were 18. - You were much more human.

It still is.

Good night, Mr. Tracy, I'm happy to see you again.

Thank you very much, Worthington. And Sir Leopold?

Sir Leopold is in the living room.

- Where is the ladies' room? - At the top of the stairs.

- Hurry up and don't talk to anyone. - I'll be back in a second.

Hello, Franny. - Oh George, how are you?

I'm glad to see you. Sorry darling.

Janie, how are you? - Hello how are you.

My dear, the Sartori Foundation, created by me

to help talented girls

receiving scholarships.

We go to the greenhouse, behind the pool, I want to show my orchids.

Bad Sartori, the fastest pistol in Beverly Hills.

George welcome!

Did you come alone George?

No, my mate is in the toilet.

Anyone I know?

No, it's a new face.

Do you want to bring me a whiskey? Double with ice.

It's better to triple.

George, I thank you for coming tonight.

I thought ... anyway, Charlie was your best friend.

I was, I am, and I think I always will be.

It was a personal thing and it does not make me my enemy.

I hope you don't condemn him

and print the finger that pulled the trigger

in the fresh cement of the Chinese theater.

Witty as always.

The consequences surprised even me.

I've been producing films for thirty years.

I'm successful, I 'm talented, I'm attractive,

I killed a writer, a little writer,

and suddenly I'm famous.

Women who never looked at me now come to me

and they beg me for a meeting in the San Fernando valley.

I remember the time when crime was not worth it.

Oh, you are here, George.

I will introduce you to our host ...

My house and I are at your feet.

- Leopold Sartori. Oh, Sir Leopold Sartori.

They insisted ... the queen, a lovely woman.

George, aren't you going to introduce us properly?

Of course, I introduce Mrs. Charles Sorel.

- Mrs. Charlie Sorel, Charlie's wife? - Widow.

If I were not Hungarian by birth I would be speechless.

What a dinner.

The best friend, the widow, the murderer ...

George, why don't you go somewhere, write?

Honey, if I could undo the wrong I did.

If I could bring Charlie back to life tonight,

I wouldn't do it. It is the best compliment I have ever given to a woman.

George, you can't waste the most dramatic opportunity

of your life. Go to my private library

there is paper, a typewriter, whatever you need.

Lock up. Come on, write. My dear, you are exquisite.

Like the fragile and delicate beauty of a Mozart quartet.

Like El Greco's fire and depth .

Like the cold perfection of a Celinni.

Still here?

Like a mountain sculpted by Michelangelo.

Do you seriously mean you're going to write a comedy for me?

In a word, yes.

But let's not be in a hurry. We 'll talk about it after dinner.

But it's your fault that I'm a widow.

So Sir Leopold is too big to hold a grudge.

Exactly. Furthermore, my daughter, one day you will thank me.

Don't you feel remorse? Not even a little?

End the promising career of a brilliant young writer.

Girl, it's my painful duty to disappoint her,

poor Charlie had no talent. He was a bad writer.

I will have the prints of your delicate fingers copied

in my face.

See you soon darling.

- Let's go home? - I'm not hungry.

Hey, look over there,

see who will join us.

I don't know what I'm doing in a place like this,

I feel bad when I go to bullfights.

My father did not allow me to interact with people from the cinema.

Bankers, you know your prejudices .

But it happened last summer, I was alone in Europe,

in the reading room of the British Museum in London.

Did you meet Charlie at a museum?

We were both admiring symbols of fertility

of early Australians.

There I was on top of a ladder

just searching ...

Janie Highland says she met Charlie on the beach in Cannes.

And for Franny Salzman said the same.

That was later, they got me wrong.

As I said, I was on the stairs

I suddenly looked down, there was Charlie looking up.

I didn't know you knew Franny and Jenny.

Yes, we had lunch together at the Bistro. They are very cool.

- Where were we? - Having lunch with Franny and Janie.

Tell us about it.

This ... well, simple girl talk.

- Come on, George, dance with me. - I don't dance the twist.

I teach. It's fun.

You and the twist were made for each other,

- your disgusting blackmailer. - Wait.

No wonder Charlie didn't tell anyone he was married.

He was probably ashamed of you.

God knows that Charlie was no example of integrity,

but compared to you, it was São Francisco de Assis.

You already have your money, get out of town soon.

That money? What are you talking about?

Jealous, she wanted Charlie but he stayed with me.

She blackmailed Franny and Janie and took $ 10,000 this afternoon

with the threat of publishing Charlie's diary.

Get rid of it, George, it 's poison.

My friend Charlie, the writer.

Think, George, I needed money, you said it yourself.

I didn't know what you were willing to do to get it.

Was what I did so bad?

A pair of spoiled rich women took a few dollars from them

that they won't even miss.

Don't forget that women owe me something.

After all, wasn't I killed on the job?

And this lady Rusty

I thought you were my friend.

You don't have a single friend, Charlie. You never did.

Just victims and suckers, and I know that because I'm on the list.

Okay, it's over, don't count on me.

- Correct them as you can. - There you go.

You are too idealistic. What do you think this is?

a Sunday school with a pool and palm trees?

Well, no, it's a dog civilization devours dog

where the one who bites first wins .

Okay, Charlie, you're right and I'm wrong.

However, I want you to know something.

Do you remember that funeral I told you about?

Well, there were 50 or 60, there were four.

Your agent and three friends.

The two women you blackmailed and me.

Next time they are going to have their funeral in an airplane envelope.

Well, goodbye Charlie.

- Are you waiting for Mr. Tracy? - Yes ma'am.

waiting to take you to the airport.

Hi.

- A glass? No thank you.

Oh, the Hollywood parties. We should have stayed at home

was right.

I do not know what to say. It was partly interesting.

Touch.

Are you really leaving?

I take the midnight plane to New York,

and tomorrow the midday flight to Paris.

Do you have fire?

Look, George.

The ten thousand I took from the girls, went up in smoke.

George, for God's sake. How can I apologize?

- You don't need me anymore, Charlie. - Yes, I do!

Why don't you give me a chance?

I was a rascal for 36 years

and now you want me to be naive.

Today was my first day, I didn't know what to do

and I went back to being the guy and did something disgusting.

I know, I admit it.

Don't worry, Charlie, it 's your natural instinct.

George,

- if you go, i'll fall apart. - Not you, Charlie. Not you.

I'm not Charlie! I am ... I am what this is.

A monster, a werewolf, something from the Black Lagoon.

And I am afraid. I'm scared, George.

But with you, the two of us together, with you I can talk.

If I stay alone, I will fall apart.

Oh no. No, no ...

- Come on ... Sorry.

Do not worry. Do not worry.

Look at me

- I hate women who cry. Calm down.

Cry what you want, you will feel better. You'll see.

I will be good. Promise. - Of course you'll be fine.

- I won't do bad things. - Do not worry.

I will work as a waitress, or a maid.

Do not worry.

I am at your side and will take care of you.

- George ... - Come on.

Best?

I want to wipe my nose.

Like this. You see now everything will be fine.

- what happened? - what happened? We almost made love!

It was beautiful. - Was it cool you and me?

I felt safe, protected. Protected?

I can't help being feminine. I need affection.

I don't know what's wrong with you, George.

He always liked helpless little girls.

Well, here you have me. No, you promised me!

I promised to stay but not here.

I'll get a room at the motel down the road

and we'll talk about all of that tomorrow morning.

Don't bother to accompany me, I have a car waiting for me.

Goodbye Charlie.

I already have, the perfect solution. We will get married.

It's great. Then I will be Mrs. George Tracy.

- Very smart, super smart. Perfect.

We are friends, we live together.

How many couples do you know who have had

a marriage with so many things in favor?

Well thought out, Charlie.

I have been single for 36 years and I will not dive into a marriage

with a woman named Charlie ... and put that on again!

Are you going to tell me you went to the beach with these two pieces of cloth?

You already speak in the tone of a husband.

What a brain. We played and drank together for years,

we chase women together, we go to the gym together,

And what happens to you? Let's get married.

Charming. Who do you want as bridesmaids?

Or did you have two Los Angeles Dodgers?

George, it's because of what you said about my identity.

I have to be someone's wife at least to have a passport

and driver's license. I need a husband

Charlie, what you're planning is unnatural, illegal,

And probably immoral.

Whoever it is, it is a pleasure to welcome you.

Good morning, I hope not to disturb.

Bruce! How kind.

I brought these flowers for you. They are from my mother's garden.

Lovely.

I have ... the car ... the Ferrari outside.

Perhaps you would like to take a walk down the coast to ... my home.

Perfect, I'll change in a second. Be an angel and put them in the water.

- I'll be back in a second.

Are you a writer? Right, Mr. Tracy?

I was when I left Paris.

Do you invent what you write or take away from real life?

It just happens.

I envy you. I couldn't be a writer.

Nothing worth writing about happens to me .

Bruce,

you never know.

Gorgeous!

Where is the house?

About five or six kilometers over there.

Fire? - Oh yeah.

Thanks. Beautiful lighter! - I ... I don't smoke, but Mom smokes.

- Five or six kilometers? - Yes,

our house is no more than a few hundred square meters

And I was never able to be alone, so Mom bought me this piece of beach.

- The whole piece? - Was very good.

I can come here and sit, rest, think ...

What do you think about, Bruce?

Especially mom, and cars.

I have a small Masseratti, the most beautiful car I have ever seen.

4200, automatic transmission.

I don't know what's with him now. It looks like it can't be fixed.

Don't accelerate!

Have you looked at the air intakes?

Were they clogged?

It was the first thing that occurred to me, but they were totally clean.

And the pistons? What measure do they have?

Three and a half by two and a half.

Magnets or ... distributors?

Magnets.

The gearbox, that's the problem, Bruce.

Did you dismount?

- Not yet. - Dismantle.

Make the decision, Bruce. Dismantle.

- It will pay off in the long run. - Are you sure?

I will go, I will go.

And don't forget to take a good look at the differential.

- And a little alcohol in the mix. - It always helps.

Please, Mrs. Sorel, let us do this together.

Of course, Bruce. - It's so exciting

I can't wait to tell Mom.

Me too.

Mrs. Sorel, dear ...

Are you seriously seeing yourself with a bride?

Yes. I look beautiful.

All eyes converge on me when I enter the church.

The organ starts playing.

You talk about marriage like you're a lovely girl

fresh out of high school.

You are a tennis player, climber,

skier, and now, God help us, wants to prove the wedding.

And you still ask me why I'm furious.

For a moment, when you started screaming,

it looked like he was jealous.

Jealous? It was just what was missing.

Listen, as we both know, I have a problem.

And I found a solution.

You may not like it, but at least it is something.

And I don't see ideas coming out of your brain.

Charlie, I have a plan. Sit down.

- Wow, you look serious. This is serious.

What I am going to propose to you is dangerous. Sit down.

Even if you don't have an awareness, your situation is dangerous

So,

suppose I pass you across the border to Canada, or rather to Mexico.

We stayed there until we bribed someone to provide him

a fake passport so I take you to Europe, to Switzerland,

to one of those fabulous clinics where they don't ask questions

and you change hormones by doing Indian exercises.

All I need is to find a specialist in this.

What happened?

What is so funny?

Are you, George, involved in these actions? Oh dear

you wouldn't be able to pass a two dollar watch

in front of a blind policeman.

And although I was never very scrupulous,

it would not serve as a smuggler. This is for experienced people,

not for the naive.

Bell!

Good night sky. Do not wait for me I will be late.

Don't worry George, love always triumphs.

- Surprise, I'm ready! Impossible! It's a miracle.

You bring my favorite. I love it.

You and Douglas Fairbanks, do you like it?

-Yes? Good night, Mr. Tracy?

It's me, what do you want?

Oh inspector ...

- What can I do for you? - The Sorel case was designed for me.

I should have guessed who the raincoat was.

Do you want to take it off?

O caso Sorel, hein?

Well, even though it looks complicated, I think it's very clear.

Sir Leopold, furious with jealousy, a passionate crime.

- And it's over. - I liked the way you described it.

It is so, at least according to the newspapers.

- Do you mind if I sit down? - Sit down, of course.

Thanks.

That's better.

- A drink? - I'm on duty.

I'm sorry.

Wow.

It's from Mrs. Sorel, Charlie's widow.

- Does she live here too? Yes, she lives. I do not.

I used to live here but when she came, I moved to a motel.

So it was the widow who left when I entered.

Yes, in fact she was the widow.

- How strange, it didn't affect her much. - Affected, is sad.

Really, but hide it.

Last night, you were both at Sartori's party , you and Mrs. Sorel.

Exactly.

The widow and the best friend, socializing with the killer there ...

Things from the world of cinema.

Very interesting.

Mr. Tracy, would there be a problem if I took a look around here?

Why not? Do not.

Thank you very much.

That is all?

Now I accept the glass, if you offer it to me.

- Aren't you on duty anymore? - It's just that I'm thirsty.

Whiskey on the rocks.

Whiskey.

You are very kind, thank you very much.

I hope I have not caused more discomfort than necessary.

No problem, but I would like to know what you are looking for.

What question. As if I knew!

Good luck!

Are you going to be here a long time, Mr. Tracy?

Well, I don't think so. I live in Paris, as you already know.

In fact, when poor Charlie died

I was six thousand miles from here, in Biarritz.

Magnificent alibi.

- Why do I want an alibi? - I know.

I want you to know that I didn't do anything.

Absolutely nothing.

Do not believe me?

Note that people often act unconsciously

and then life gets complicated.

You, for example,

if you knew something about the case in question

and hide from the police, would commit a crime.

Suppose you and someone else were together, involved in this,

it would be complicity.

Criminal offense and of course there are a number of crimes attached,

such as fraud, perjury and bribery, everything that would total

175 years in prison. And without doing anything.

- You understand me now? - Yes

- Good evening. I think I understand.

Inspector ...

- Good evening. - Good evening.

- And thanks for the whiskey. - You're welcome.

Sir Leopold Sartori, I am Mr. Tracy.

I cannot disturb you, sir. Sir Leopold is playing poker.

Where is he playing? In the office, where is this?

Mother

Interesting, isn't it? - Yes

You won't be meeting Mom this weekend.

He's in San Francisco on business.

But you see the house and the house is mom.

Mom never used decorators for her homes.

It doesn't allow anything to get in the way of your personality.

- Your mother knows very well what she does. - Yes

This is the TV room.

Oh yes of course.

Shall we drink something?

- You and I? Both? - Of course, I'm not an abstainer,

on special occasions, mom’s birthday,

election of a republican president ...

And is this one of those special occasions?

I hope so.

Go ahead, Bruce.

- I don't know your first name yet. Oh, yeah ...

... Charleen. - Charleen? It's beautiful.

I hope you do not consider me bold our relationship is recent ...

What is it?

I took the liberty of calling Harry Winston in New York

and he brought it himself by plane.

It must have come on an armored plane .

Do you allow?

Bruce ... it will be difficult for me

considering my feelings,

but I have to insist on a long engagement.

- Are you sure? - Yes

I'm in a hurry like you, but I would n't want to go wrong with something so serious.

Yes my love.

Your current state of mind, so dominant, so overwhelming, is ...

it's dangerous. You understand that, don't you, Bruce?

And I already know what you're thinking.

Las Vegas is just an hour's flight from here

and you would like to take me there and get married tonight.

There are planes that do the chartered flight but ...

we must control these impulses.

The way you drive, we could be at the airport in 10 minutes,

Sim

Yes? - It wouldn't work.

No of course not.

Drive to the airport at this hour , with this traffic ...

no, no, i will rent a helicopter and when we finish this drink

we will be on the way.

I don't want to keep fighting, Bruce. You're very strong.

I'm Mr. Milton.

Send me a helicopter with your best pilot as soon as possible.

In the garden of the house. To take us to the airport.

I also need a small jet to take us to Las Vegas. It's all right.

Thanks.

And now, Charleen, dear, that glass.

I would love to, but ... I don't see anything here ...

Downstairs we will find something.

I'll go ahead. It's a little dark.

The Sartori Foundation for producers is supported thanks to you.

Giving them letters is like giving brandy to the Indians.

As long as I continue with this luck I won't come to play anymore.

Good night, Leo. Good night sir.

George! What a pleasant surprise.

- Are you alone? - Yes, come in.

Sit down, man, sit down. Do you want a drink, a cigar?

Leo, I'm here to ask a favor. Very large.

It's something I never asked anyone.

And I wouldn't ask if I weren't in real trouble.

You, a respectable citizen?

What did you do wrong George, didn't you return the books to the library?

Don't play with me now. It's very important. Excuse me. Continues.

I want to take a person to Mexico who does not have a passport or documents.

And from there to Europe.

Good luck, George, I wish you with all my heart.

But give me advice, who can I turn to? Who can help me

George, that mysterious person you talk about, what sex is it?

What does sex have to do with it?

It's just the way my brain works.

Ah, well, it's a girl.

Hey, it's very important to me and it has to be tonight.

And why don't you have a passport? Are you a fugitive?

Actually she has a passport, but she is married

and the passport you have is familiar.

Oh, of course, you don't want to invite your husband on the trip.

Yes, it is usually the best.

- Is it someone I know? - Not.

He does not work in the cinema or in the theater. He's a normal person.

Leo, you have to help me or I'm lost.

George, I would say it was really good

to come to me with your problem.

This is because: a) I am of a romantic nature;

b) appreciate you; c) I have resources; d) I have no qualms;

and in an operation like this this is vital.

San Pedro Yacht Company , please.

Good night, Miss. Leopold Sartori speaking.

My yacht, Aphrodite, is cruising to Coronado,

tell the captain to return to San Pedro immediately.

Meet you there tonight. Yes thanks.

Rafael? Sartori.

Goodnight friend. I have to see you without fail.

In two hours.

I want your fastest speedboat and two of your best men.

Like? No, they don't need guns.

Let them be in San Pedro in two hours. Exactly.

George, my friend, you are practically already in Mexico

with a glass of tequila in hand and her friend by the side.

Boy, you don't look very happy.

The truth is, after what we have seen, I can only say that I am impressed.

You are an extraordinary man. No, no, don't slow down.

Tonight you did something for me that I will never forget.

And you gave me an important lesson:

Never judge anyone by appearances alone.

Until now I considered you to be a great film producer,

but I confess that I had a low opinion of him as a man.

Well, forget it, George, we all make mistakes.

and I would like to add one last word.

If anyone dares to criticize you in my presence,

I guarantee you will have to see me.

I liked that, George.

And I am deeply moved.

- Leo ... - George ...

And now the next step. Travel documents,

- For that I need to be alone. - I'm in your hands, friend.

Well, go to the Bistro, contact you there in two hours.

Don't say anything and wait.

The Bistro, two hours, I hope.

Sir Leopold, can I clean now?

- Yes, come in. - I would like to give you the gr ...

Pascal? Sartori. How are you? Alone?

Splendid. I need some travel documents.

The guy who did the job with English passports, is he still there?

Great. Yes, it will start tonight.

Most importantly, your man needs to have contacts in three European cities.

I suggest Geneva, Marseille and Amsterdam.

It's so much fun!

How old were you then?

Eight.

So I said ... Mom, why do you always go so far?

It's very simple. I just want an orange juice stand,

like the other kids, to have a little money.

So Mom launched herself into the project with her usual energy.

I brought a decorator from Europe to design a stall

with Venetian motifs.

I can not resist ...

And then she called the ranch cook

to peel and squeeze the oranges.

And he installed the Venetian stall inside the property's iron gate.

She wouldn't let me leave the property.

So, when a customer came, I ...

... I was on the other side of the fence, I reached out

and served him the juice.

- You must have made a lot of money. - Not.

According to my accounts, some ... about 75 cents.

Expenses totaled $ 1,200.

Wonderful.

Having a childhood without missing anything.

Always have it all.

And I never did anything ...

Until the night I found her. You are beautiful.

Linda.

- I'm your bride, of course. - You are more than beautiful.

Yours is a profound beauty, it inspires confidence.

I've always been very shy. With you I feel capable

to say things that never occurred to me.

We don't know much about each other.

I adore you.

I feel happy and amazed at the same time.

- It must be the champagne. - No, no ...

champagne just gives me the courage to tell you that.

I love you with all my soul.

It's like wonderful music and beautiful poetry

were mixed up inside me ...

you are the source, the source of everything.

Listen, maybe I'm not what you think. You do not know...

I say how I love you.

A few words will be enough.

I love you ...

until death.

You are my breath ...

is my life

my soul ... my breath.

- Are you sure you didn't call me? - No, Mr. Tracy.

I promise if anyone calls I will let you know.

Good night, Mr. Tracy. Good night, Worthington.

- Is Sir Leopold home? - Not.

He hasn't come back since he left this morning ...

Do you know where I could find him?

To the Malibu road, quick!

Rusty!

George!

listen

- Bon Soirée, Cherie. - Leo, what are you doing here?

How did you get in? Where's George?

Questions, questions, questions.

George is waiting patiently 30 miles from here.

I went in through the back door, it was open.

And while I waited, I grabbed Charlie's jackets.

By the way, it's great.

And now dear, why don't you wear something more comfortable?

- That dress is ... - You don't know how happy I am

- because you're here. - It is true?

- So what are we waiting for? - Come my dream moon.

- Leo, I want to talk to you. - Of course yes.

But let's smoke a cigarette, let's rest

and talk about the beautiful things in life.

Come on, Leo ...

Your skin is silk, your body is a maddening monument,

- to pleasure and emotion ... - No, no!

This can not be happening!

George was right, it is the punishment my life deserves.

You talk too much my beautiful sphinx.

Leo, I want to help you, you know? I beg!

Do not waste your life in the useless pursuit of pleasure,

running from woman to woman.

Don't run, it won't do any good! I'm in good shape.

I fencing. I go to the gym every day.

I have a trampoline in the dorm!

Come here, my sweet little gypsy.

Among the dying embers of the fire, his reflections continue to dance.

Leo, listen to me! I was also a transgressor.

And in saying that, I don't exaggerate anything.

I'm telling you the truth. Can you believe me

Now I understand the superficial of my life. It is a great void!

Every word you say is true. I'm already a better man.

No, Leo, please. Please.

Listen to me. No, Leo ...

In this same room I behaved as you do now.

- The night will be perfect. - No, Leo, please.

It can not be. There are reasons for you not to ...

You filthy rat!

- Rusty, what a joy to see you here. - After what you put me through,

insults and screams in five languages,

of which I didn't know four,

all the names you called me,

you didn't even have the decency to stay away from Charlie Sorel's house,

- the man you killed. -Rusty, don't kill him.

This is for you, traitor, shameless worm,

who are you

Whatever your name is, you are a disgrace to your sex.

I will kill you, and take it to the police and I will collect

whatever you give me for your skin.

No, not again!

Charlie!

Where ...

Charlie!

It's crazy!

My friend my best friend and I trusted you.

I need to have my head checked.

And you, a veteran of all motels from here to Oakland,

you feel decent and you kill Charlie.

A clarification: I killed Charlie, she killed ...

Do you want to shut up? Don't talk anymore and go away.

And do me a favor, don't bother driving slowly,

because as far as I'm concerned, you ...

- What are you doing? - Calling the police.

- Do you want to leave the phone? George, tell me,

this non-existent law, which gives the right to kill in defense of your home,

Can it be applied twice in the same week and in the same house?

- Put that phone down! George, the police ...

Forget. Go home and pretend that nothing happened.

- I'll take care of everything ... George!

That ineffable spirit of sacrifice I am touched ...

Get out of my life! Go home and enjoy yourself.

Very well, come, my sweet wife, I will take you home.

I learned a deep and lasting lesson

with this week’s tragic events.

By the way, send me the manuscript for your new book as soon as you're done.

Goodbye Love. I'm happy to see you.

Anyway, Charlie, maybe it was for the best.

Quiet, quiet boy.

Charlie, come here. Come on, get down. Come down. Skirt.

Sorry, I hope he didn't startle you.

I was walking with him on the beach and he suddenly launched himself towards his home.

- But it's harmless. - What's your name?

- Virginia Mason. - Where do you live?

Half a kilometer away, on the beach.

How long have you lived there?

About eight years since my parents bought the house.

Their names are Ralph and Helen Mason.

- Are you okay? - Can I ask you a question?

You are a girl, right?

Have you ever been anything other than a girl?

- I swear. Thanks.

- How much of that did you take? - Pina Colada, I don't remember.

Would you ... mind not looking at me like that?

Looks like he's testing me for life insurance.

Excuse me. I need a drink. - What you need is to eat.

- Since when do you not eat? - I do not remember.

No wonder your appearance. Where's the kitchen?

There. - Well, wait here,

and stay away from the bar.

Oh, what a provision to meet the needs of life:

onions, olives, pickles, herring ...

Let's see: tomato sauce, curry, canned meat and meat sauce.

Why don't you mix everything up?

- Canned meat taste? - I love it.

- Do you have a can opener? - Yes

He likes you. - How nice.

Charlie arrives, there are too many people here. Get out, I have to prepare dinner.

Be good and sit down.

Sit down. That's the way I like it.

- Why the name Charlie? - Do not know.

It sounds like a good name. He likes.

You seem to know what you're doing.

I love to cook

Cooking for yourself is very boring.

Thanks.

I don't do that very often.

I only come here on weekends and ...

Oh, I'm a teacher at Westwood, elementary school.

- I have a small apartment and there ... - It will be a ...

Single, I think.

I'm single if that's what you ask.

I'm single too.

What do you do?

I'm a writer.

- What is your name? George Tracy.

Sure! George Tracy. I read your last book. It is not bad.

I think like you. - Where do you live?

In Paris.

In fact, I just arrived.

But I have to get back as soon as possible.

Ah ... - yes.

On the other hand, I promised to finish a book,

of course I can finish it. anywhere,

for example, right here. Not?

Yes ... I think it would be ... good.
