[GASPS]

[MOANING]

[GRUNTING]

[GASPS]

BABY, IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE DREAMING.

[TV CLICKING ON]

[MAN CHATTERING ON TV]

COME ON, SWEETHEART, WE'VE GOTTA GO. I'M GONNA MISS MY FLIGHT.

OKAY. YOU SEEM TENSE. YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT DREAM AGAIN, DID YOU?

NO.

I'M JUST ANXIOUS ABOUT THE MEETING.

I'VE GOTTA MAKE THIS GUY TALK,

OR ELSE MY STORY SUCKS, GRIFF WILL NEVER BUY IT, AND THERE GOES MY INTERNSHIP.

JUST BE FIRM. DON'T LET HIM INTIMIDATE YOU.

IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE. THE GUY'S TOUGH.

YOU KNOW INTIMIDATION IS NOT EXACTLY MY STRONG SUIT.

HEY, YOU'RE SMART, KIDDO. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

COME ON. ALL RIGHT.

[FEMALE ANNOUNCER] THE WHITE ZONE IS FOR IMMEDIATE LOADING...

ALL RIGHT, REMEMBER, NERVES OF STEEL.

I'LL TRY. DON'T TRY, JUST DO IT.

BE A GOOD GIRL, HONEY.

I'M ALWAYS GOOD.

[MOUTHING WORDS]

[FEMALE ANNOUNCER] THE WHITE ZONE IS FOR IMMEDIATE LOADING

AND UNLOADING OF PASSENGERS ONLY.

NO PARKING.

[BLOWING WHISTLE]

I'M GOING, I'M GOING.

[PASSENGERS CHATTERING]

[WOMAN OVER P.A.] WE'RE PROCEEDING TO TAXI ONTO THE RUNWAY.

AT THIS TIME WE ASK TO YOU FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS AND PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF.

[SIGHS]

HI. HELLO. HOW ARE YOU?

OH, I'M FINE.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A SHORT FLIGHT.

NOT SHORT ENOUGH AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

THEY NEVER GIVE US ENOUGH LEG SPACE.

[CHUCKLES]

YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

[WOMAN] SO, WHAT BRINGS YOU TO SAN FRANCISCO?

A STORY ON A CITY BIG-WIG WHO'S BEEN IMPLICATED IN A HUGE SEX SCANDAL.

HOW EXCITING. WHO DO YOU WRITE FOR?

WE@R MAGAZINE.

GREAT ARTICLES. YOU LIVE IN L.A.? YEAH. DO YOU?

I NOW SPEND MOST OF MY TIME UP NORTH.

WE HAVE A HOME IN NAPA VALLEY. MMM.

I LOVE THE WEATHER.

I HAVE SPACE TO THINK, RIDE MY HORSES.

IT'S SO HARD TO FOCUS IN L.A.

MY HUSBAND, THOUGH, HE PREFERS THE HOUSE BY THE BEACH.

GOD, IT MUST BE BEAUTIFUL UP THERE RIGHT NOW.

STORYBOOK GREEN, RIGHT?

I WENT TO CATHOLIC BOARDING SCHOOL UP THERE.

NOTHING BUT GREEN PASTURES AND COWS.

OH, WE REPLACED THE MILK WITH THE WINE, DARLING, A LONG TIME AGO.

HOW FUNNY. I WENT TO CATHOLIC BOARDING SCHOOL MYSELF.

YOU DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW, MY HUSBAND ALWAYS TEASES ME.

HE SAYS THAT THAT'S WHY I'M SO SCREWED UP-- FOUR YEARS WITHOUT BOYS.

MY HUSBAND WOULD AGREE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY'RE PROBABLY RIGHT. PROBABLY RIGHT.

[ELIZABETH] YOUR ELECTRONIC PARKING CARD

SHOWS YOU DIDN'T CHECK OUT OF THE GARAGE UNTIL MIDNIGHT THAT NIGHT.

[MAN] SOMETIMES I WORK LATE.

[ELIZABETH] CAN YOU TELL ME WHY BEVERLY WAS AT YOUR OFFICE THE NIGHT OF THE RAPE?

SHE WASN'T AT MY OFFICE.

I SAW HER WAITING AT THE BUS STOP OUT OF MY WINDOW.

THAT WAS NEVER IN THE POLICE REPORT.

THERE WAS NEVER A BUS SCHEDULED FOR THAT LINE, THAT NIGHT.

HOW COULD SHE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A BUS THAT WAS NEVER SCHEDULED?

I'M GONNA TRY TO SAY THIS IN A NICE WAY

ABOUT SOMETHING THAT COULD GET EXTREMELY UGLY.

IT WOULD BE VERY WISE OF YOU NOT TO PROCEED WITH YOUR INQUIRIES.

GOOD, WE AGREE. THERE IS NO STORY.

YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, MISS BARTON.

[SIGHS]

TAXI!

I HAVE A RESERVATION FOR MRS. BARTON, PLEASE.

ELIZABETH?

OH, MY GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

MY FLIGHT WAS CANCELLED-- THE FOG. MINE TOO. ISN'T THIS CRAZY?

BOB, THIS IS THE WOMAN I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT. WE MET ON THE WAY UP.

PLEASURE.

NICE TO MEET YOU. JOIN US FOR A NIGHTCAP?

OH, COME ON, LIVE A LITTLE DANGEROUSLY. IT'LL BE FUN.

WHY NOT?

EXCUSE ME.

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOUR HUSBAND WAS JOINING YOU UP HERE.

BOB? OH, HE'S NOT MY HUSBAND.

OH, COME ON, DARLING, DON'T SAY YOU DIDN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

WRITERS ALWAYS FIGURE IT OUT.

WOULDN'T YOU SAY, BOB?

YOU'RE INTERESTED IN CHARACTER, AREN'T YOU?

OH, YEAH. AND I'M INTERESTED IN DESSERT.

REAL DECADENT AND SWEET.

[WOMAN LAUGHING]

SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO ME TONIGHT?

THAT'S KIND OF A STRANGE QUESTION, 'CAUSE WHEN YOU SEE IT, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT.

[LAUGHING]

GOOD NIGHT. I'LL CALL YOU BACK IN L.A. OKAY. GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT. [CHUCKLES]

WHY DON'T YOU START SHOWING ME?

[SOFTLY MOANING]

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

[BOB'S VOICE MURMURING]

[BOB, WOMAN SOFTLY MOANING]

[MOANING CONTINUES]

[MOANING]

[MAN] SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS A YEAR AGO, WE WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED.

I'M AFRAID WITH THE CHANGE IN YOUR WIFE'S SALARY,

IT MAKES IT RATHER IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS TIME.

DUE TO THE CHANGE IN YOUR WIFE'S SALARY.

YOU CALL WHAT THEY PAY A SALARY?

HONEY, INTERNS DON'T--

YEAH, BUT CHRIST!

75K A YEAR PLACING EXECUTIVES, YOU HAD IT MADE.

NEVER HAVING TO LEAVE THE HOUSE, NEVER HAVING TO LEAVE YOUR STUDY.

COME ON, HONEY. WE BOTH KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE TOUGH IN THE BEGINNING.

RECRUITING MADE ME MISERABLE.

YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE MISERABLE, DO YOU?

YEAH, BUT IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW.

I MEAN, WHY NOT AT LEAST TRY ANOTHER PUBLICATION?

WHAT'S SO BIG ABOUT WE@R MAGAZINE, ANYWAY?

GRIFFIN. HE'S THE BEST EDITOR IN TOWN. THAT'S RIGHT.

YOUR MENTOR, THE ONE WHO CHANGED YOUR LIFE ONE COLLEGE AFTERNOON.

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE HELL OF A LECTURE.

ERIC, STOP IT!

LOOK, I'M PRETTY SURE HE'LL USE THE PIECE I'M TURNING IN TODAY.

THEN I'LL BE ON STAFF, AND EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY. ALL RIGHT?

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

GIVE ME A KISS.

[MAN] WHY DO YOU ALWAYS PRETEND, LAURA,

THAT YOU DON'T HEAR WHAT I SAY WHEN I KNOW THAT YOU HEAR WHAT I SAY?

DO YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE STUPID, BECAUSE IF YOU DO,

I WILL.

AND AS FOR YOU, YOUNG LADY,

THIS HAPPENS TO BE A BUSINESS,

NOT A HOBBY BETWEEN GETTING YOUR HAIR DONE AND HAVING LUNCHES.

YOUR STORY'S LATE. WHERE IS IT?

IT'S RIGHT HERE.

ELIZABETH, THE FIRST LINE DOESN'T WORK.

THE STORY DOES. I HOPE SO, FOR YOUR SAKE.

STAFF MEETING TOMORROW MORNING, 10 A.M. SHARP. TRY TO BE THERE.

♪ COME ON IN

♪ I'LL BE THERE IF I CAN

♪ ANY TIME DAY OR NIGHT

♪ I KNOW THAT EVEN IF

♪ I'M MILES FROM HOME

♪ THE BRIDGES BREAK THE TUNNELS BURN ♪

COME ON, BABY. I'M READY.

♪ THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT'S COMING THROUGH ♪

♪ SAID THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORLD THAT SHINES ♪

♪ LIKE YOU

♪ LIKE YOU

[MAN] OH, YEAH. YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

COME HERE.

MMM.

[MOANING]

YOU LIKE THAT? YEAH.

[MOANING]

OH, DOES THAT FEEL GOOD?

YEAH. [MOANING]

[BOTH MOANING]

HOW DID YOU KNOW HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS?

I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE IT.

WHERE DID YOU GET IT? THE MASK.

IT'S A SECRET.

OH, YOU MEAN LIKE THE SECRET OF WHO THE REAL BOB IS?

DON'T WORRY, LOVELY.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR CHECKERED PAST.

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT'S WHAT, WHO'S WHO.

PURELY SOCIOLOGICAL.

IF ANYTHING, IT GIVES A CERTAIN EDGE TO THINGS.

I LIKE AN EDGE.

[MOANING]

NOW, FOR OUR THEME ISSUE ON SEXUAL IDENTITIES,

JULIA'S GOING TO COVER THE PIECE ON MARRIED MEN AND THEIR INFIDELITIES.

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR RESEARCH, JULIA.

[ALL LAUGHING]

[GRIFF] AND, CARL, YOU HAVE A HANDLE ON THE GAY DATING SERVICE ISSUE?

I'M ALL OVER IT, GRIFF.

I'LL COVER THE DEMOGRAPHICS.

GOOD.

THAT MAKES FOUR FEATURES.

BUT I WANT TO HAVE A FIFTH.

IF I DON'T HAVE AN ACCEPTABLE IDEA BY NOON TOMORROW,

I BELIEVE THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE TROUBLE IN PARADISE.

ELIZABETH, IN MY OFFICE.

YOU'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD STORY GOING THERE, BUT YOU WIMPED OUT. HAVE A SEAT.

I DISAGREE. I THINK IT WORKS. BULLSHIT.

IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THAT YOU BACKED OFF.

ELIZABETH, YOU SHOULD HAVE DUG IN,

YOU SHOULD HAVE NAILED THAT LAWYER MAN RIGHT THERE AT THE END.

YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST CONFRONTED HIM AND TAKEN HIM DOWN.

NO GUTS, NO STORY.

THE THING IS-- WHAT IS THE THING?

[WOMAN OVER INTERCOM] GRIFF, YOUR WIFE'S ON TWO.

I CAN'T TALK TO HER RIGHT NOW.

WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL HER I LOVE HER AND I'LL CALL HER BACK IN A FEW MINUTES?

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THE THING ISN'T.

THE THING ISN'T JUNIOR LEAGUE. THIS IS JOURNALISM.

AND JOURNALISM IS TELLING THE TRUTH. IF YOU CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH,

THEN WE DO HAVE A PROBLEM.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET TOUGH, ELIZABETH.

THE THING IS, I JUST--

DON'T TELL ME WHAT THE THING IS!

WE ALL HAVE OUR DEMONS. NOW, THE BOTTOM LINE IS,

IF YOU CAN'T CONFRONT YOUR DEMONS AND NAIL YOUR ENDINGS,

WELL, THEN MAYBE YOU JUST DON'T BELONG HERE.

WILL YOU PLEASE EXCUSE ME. I'D LIKE TO CALL MY WIFE.

[ERIC] MY SAUCE CAME OUT GREAT.

ANY REACTION TO THE STORY?

NO.

ACTUALLY, YES. HE SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE IT.

GRIFF?

WELL, WHAT'D HE SAY?

HE TOLD ME NOT TO GIVE UP MY DAY JOB.

[DISHES BREAKING]

HAPPY NOW?

IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, LIZZY.

MAYBE NOT FOR YOU.

[PHONE RINGING]

HELLO?

ELIZABETH? THIS IS ANN.

SAN FRANCISCO LAST WEEK. YEAH, SURE.

HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. I JUST CALLED TO SAY HI.

SEE HOW YOU WERE DOING. I REALLY ENJOYED OUR TIME TOGETHER.

SO DID I. IT WAS FUN.

SO, HOW IS EVERYTHING?

GREAT. HOW'S BOB?

OH, BEHAVING HIMSELF, THOUGH NOT WITH ME.

ANN, I'VE BEEN REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING.

I KNOW IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS, SO FEEL FREE TO TELL ME TO SHUT UP,

BUT I HAVE ASK.

HAVE THERE BEEN OTHERS LIKE BOB?

GOD, NO. NEVER?

WHAT DO YOU THINK? I MEAN, I CAN'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE

I'M DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS.

I WASN'T LOOKING, YOU UNDERSTAND. IT JUST HAPPENED.

IS IT SERIOUS? I DON'T KNOW.

I'M CONFUSED. YOU KNOW, I COME FROM A VERY SHELTERED, PROTECTED BACKGROUND.

OH, GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M TELLING YOU ALL THIS.

SHE TRIES TO RESIST, BUT THE CHEMISTRY'S TOO GOOD.

IT'S LIKE SOME WEIRD KIND OF FATE,

BUT OF COURSE, SHE'S TORN WITH THAT NAGGING GUILT.

SHE'S A GOOD GIRL. AND GOOD GIRLS DON'T INDULGE IN AFFAIRS.

[MAN] SHE MARRIED TOO SOON.

SHE DIDN'T SOW ANY WILD OATS.

I KNOW A LOT OF WOMEN WHO MARRIED NUMBER ONE AND THEY'RE DOING JUST FINE.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG. IT'S ABOUT HER REACTIONS TO WHAT'S GOING ON.

THE DRAMA, THE DECEIT, THE GUILT, THE SELF-LOATHING.

BUT THEN THERE'S THE RAW PASSION OF THE THRILL,

THE WHOLE, CRUSHING EXPERIENCE.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS SPECIAL ISSUE IS ABOUT,

SEXUAL DISCOVERY.

THIS IS A WOMAN IN TRANSITION, COMING OUT OF HER COCOON.

WHAT'S THE SCOOP?

ANATOMY OF AN AFFAIR, A FIRST TIMER.

THE VIRGIN ADULTERESS.

THE VIRGIN ADULTERESS.

THE VIRGIN ADULTERESS.

THAT'S GOOD.

VERY GOOD. MAYBE EVEN EXCELLENT.

CATHOLIC GIRL GOES ASTRAY, BUT NOT TOO FAR.

MMM, VERY NICE.

BUT, ELIZABETH, THE TERRAIN, INFIDELITY,

ADULTEROUS, SEXUAL ACTIVITY,

ISN'T THAT FOREIGN TERRITORY FOR YOU?

YOU MAY NEED A PASSPORT.

[GROUP LAUGHING] I THINK I CAN HANDLE IT.

YOU DO? YES, I DO.

I HOPE SO, FOR YOUR SAKE, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A ROUGH DRAFT IN TWO WEEKS,

YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER A NEW SOURCE OF EMPLOYMENT.

PUT THAT CIGARETTE OUT.

LOOK, JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

OKAY.

I LOVED YOUR PRESENTATION. YOU WERE SO GREAT.

HOW'D YOU GET THAT WOMAN TO OPEN UP?

I DON'T KNOW, IT'S WEIRD. IT'S ALMOST LIKE SHE WANTS TO.

DO YOU BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR

AND NOT HAVE IT EFFECT YOUR MARRIAGE?

I DON'T KNOW. SHE SEEMS TO THINK SO AND SHE'S LIVING IT.

GOD, LAURA, SHE SEEMS SO FREE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I MEAN, IT'S BAD KARMA.

YOU PUT THAT KIND OF ENERGY OUT THERE AND IT'S BOUND TO COME BACK AND HURT YOU.

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD CALL MY PSYCHIC, KALIA.

SHE'S SO IN TUNE.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. I'M SERIOUS.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS A LITTLE KINKY.

KINKY? YEAH.

WHY IS IT OKAY FOR A MAN TO HAVE AN AFFAIR?

AND A WOMAN HAS AN AFFAIR AND IT'S "KINKY."

WELL, MAYBE I DON'T WANT YOU GETTING ANY IDEAS.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME.

LIZZY, DON'T START THAT AGAIN.

I TOLD YOU, I HAVEN'T BEEN WITH ANYBODY ELSE SINCE WE'VE BEEN MARRIED.

GOD, YOU'RE SO INSECURE.

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU. I WAS TALKING ABOUT HER.

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF YOU WERE A LITTLE SUPPORTIVE FROM TIME TO TIME.

DON'T TASTE IT.

NEEDS GARLIC.

[PHONE RINGING] THAT'S PROBABLY HER NOW.

HERE, STIR MY SAUCE.

HELLO?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME HOW YOU MET BOB?

THIS IS GREAT, ANN. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH WE COVERED.

LET'S MEET AT THE BEACH TOMORROW. I'LL SEE YOU THEN.

OH, GOD, YES, I WAS SO NERVOUS.

SO, WHERE DID IT FINALLY HAPPEN?

THE MIRAMAR.

ON SANTA MONICA?

MM-HMM. YES.

WE GOT A ROOM AT THE HOTEL

AND WE HAD LUNCH SENT UP WITH CHAMPAGNE.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DIVINE.

HE WAS SO SWEET AND ADORING, AND THE SEX, IT WAS AMAZINGLY GREAT.

GOD, I DON'T MEAN TO BE SO BLUNT,

BUT I NEVER HAD SEX LIKE THAT.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT EXISTED.

SO IT WAS LIKE, "YOU MEAN, THERE'S THIS?" [SIGHS]

YOU KNOW THE SWEETEST THING? HMM?

HE SENT A BOUQUET OF ROSES TO THE HOUSE WITH A CARD THE NEXT DAY.

THIS IS JUST SO STRANGE.

REMEMBER HOW YOU WERE TELLING ME ABOUT HOW YOU FIRST MET BOB,

STANDING IN LINE AT THE MOVIES AND HAVING COFFEE AFTERWARDS,

AND NOW MAKING LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE MIRAMAR

AND GETTING ROSES AND A NOTE LATER,

IT'S ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE IT HAPPENED WITH ERIC AND I.

NO. YOU'RE SERIOUS?

YES.

I THINK IT'S TIME WE HAD

THAT FABULOUS BOTTLE OF WINE THAT WE BROUGHT.

HERE YOU GO.

EITHER YOU AND I ARE INCREDIBLY ALIKE

OR THAT'S AN AWFULLY BIZARRE COINCIDENCE.

CHEERS. TO COINCIDENCES.

COINCIDENCES.

BETH, I HATE TO SAY THIS, BUT I'VE DECIDED TO LIKE IT,

SCREWING SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES MY HUSBAND.

THIS IS JUST SO HARD TO BELIEVE.

DARLING, LOOK. YOU AND I, WE'RE THE GOOD GIRLS.

PRIM AND PROPER, MARRIED THE FIRST MEN WE SLEPT WITH,

LOVE AND HAPPINESS, FOREVER AFTER,

BUT THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW.

AND I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT I'M A BIT OF A LATE BLOOMER.

[ANN] AND THAT I HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF EXPERIENCE AHEAD OF ME.

I CAN DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING WITH HIM.

DO YOU KNOW HOW GREAT THAT IS, TO BE LIKE THAT WITH SOMEONE?

WHENEVER YOU WANT, WHATEVER FANTASY YOU WANT?

[ELIZABETH] YOU MAKE IT SOUND SO AMAZING.

ERIC MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A WOMAN.

[ANN] THAT'S GOOD. LIKE A SEXY WOMAN?

[ELIZABETH] SEXY?

SURE, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

[ANN] DO YOU PLAY GAMES?

[ELIZABETH] OH, WELL, WE USED TO.

ERIC CAN BE PASSIONATE.

I COULD GO HOME AND DRESS UP AND I KNOW IT WOULD DRIVE HIM CRAZY.

ERIC CAN TAKE ME IN HIS ARMS AND MAKE LOVE TO ME FOR HOURS.

AND I KNOW HE REALLY APPRECIATES ME.

ERIC AND I ARE SPECIAL.

AND I KNOW I CAN DO ANYTHING WITH HIM.

I KNOW I CAN COUNT ON HIM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[SIGHS] WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU?

DO YOU LIKE IT?

LIZZY, I DON'T NEED THAT TO FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE.

[ELIZABETH] I TOLD YOU,

I'M PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH ERIC.

ADMIT IT, YOU'RE CURIOUS. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE YOUR TAPE RECORDER ON.

YOU'RE ASKING ME ALL THIS STUFF NOW BECAUSE YOU WANT TO KNOW,

NOT PROFESSIONALLY, PERSONALLY.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE ABOUT SEX, BUT IT'S NOT.

IT'S ABOUT DISOBEDIENCE

AND EMPOWERMENT.

TO DISOBEY THE RULES OTHERS MADE US LIVE BY

AND LIVING WITH WHAT WORKS FOR US, FOR ME.

BUT TELL ME TRUTHFULLY.

YOU DON'T FEEL GUILTY MAKING LOVE TO BOB?

YOU CAN LIVE WITH YOURSELF.

THERE'S NO DIRTY FEELING?

NO SENSE OF BETRAYAL?

IT'S NOT LIVING WITH MYSELF, IT'S LIVING FOR MYSELF.

AND AS FOR BETRAYAL,

MY HUSBAND FORGED THAT ONE A LONG TIME AGO.

HE'S CHOSEN TO GET DIS-INVOLVED,

SO I GET INVOLVED ELSEWHERE.

LOOK, HAVING AN AFFAIR IS HAVING AN AFFAIR.

YOU GO, YOU DO IT AND THEN YOU GO HOME. EVERYTHING STAYS EXACTLY THE SAME.

IMAGINE THAT YOU MET SOMEONE NEW.

HANDSOME AS HELL AND JUST LOOKING AT HIM MADE YOU HOT.

AND CIRCUMSTANCE MADE IT SO YOU COULD GO TO BED TOGETHER.

YES, YOU COULD.

NO ONE WOULD KNOW.

YOU COULD DO IT AND YOUR LIFE WOULD STAY EXACTLY AS IT IS.

YOU COULD DO IT

AND LOVE EVERY FUCKING MINUTE OF IT.

I COULDN'T.

I WOULDN'T.

BUT WHAT IF YOU COULD?

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

[TOILET FLUSHING]

BOB, I'M HERE. SORRY, I'M LATE.

[PHONE BEEPING]

[ELIZABETH] HI, WE'RE NOT HOME. LEAVE A MESSAGE.

[MACHINE BEEPS] [ANN] THOUGHT YOU WOULD GET A KICK OUT OF

EAVESDROPPING ON BOB AND ME.

ALMOST LIKE BEING HERE.

HE'S SO GREAT.

WELL, IF IT ISN'T MR. MOVIE STAR.

MMM. HMM.

[ANN] GOOD. [BOB] YOU LIKE THAT?

DO YOU LIKE THAT?

MMM, YEAH.

[ANN] OH, BABY.

ELIZABETH? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

MAN, SHE'S BEEN SNIFFING ALL DAY FOR YOU.

EVER SINCE YOU GAVE HER THAT BONE.

I'M GLAD SHE LIKED IT.

[MUTTERING]

[GASPING]

[SCREAMING]

SO, WHERE'S THAT GOOD-LOOKIN' HUSBAND OF YOURS?

HE'S OUT WITH SOME FRIENDS. I'M KINDA WORKIN' TONIGHT.

[KNIFE SLICING SKIN] [GRUNTING]

WELL, I STILL WANT YOU GUYS TO COME OVER FOR DINNER.

WE'D LOVE TO COME, THANKS.

OKAY, BYE. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

[GAGGING] GET THE TAPE.

[ANN] THE TAPE.

[SIGHS]

[WHISTLING]

[ELIZABETH] HER MESSAGE SOUNDED FRANTIC,

BUT I COULDN'T QUITE MAKE IT OUT.

I THINK YOUR IMAGINATION'S GETTING THE BEST OF YOU.

LOOK, I JUST DON'T WANT TO MISS HER CALL AGAIN.

THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY OFF WITH THAT ANSWERING MACHINE.

YEAH, BUT STEVE AND MARY ARE EXPECTING BOTH OF US.

COME ON, HONEY.

COME ON, A NIGHT OUT WILL DO US GOOD.

RELAX, UNWIND, A LITTLE WINE.

I WANT TO, JUST NOT TONIGHT. I HAVE TO STAY HERE.

YOU ARE SO SELFISH, YOU KNOW THAT?

SPENDING YOUR DAYS IN THERE STAGNATING.

I'M SICK OF THIS WRITING THING, THIS-THIS FUCKING LITTLE HOBBY!

YOU'RE MY WIFE!

[CAR STARTING]

[CAR DRIVING AWAY]

[ANN] IT'S SO RAW, SO PRIMAL.

AND MY LOVER WANTS THE SAME THING I DO-- FULFILLMENT.

YOU SHOULD TRY IT.

DARLING, THE ROMANCE FADES FROM EVERYONE'S MARRIAGE EVENTUALLY.

[METAL SCRAPING]

DROPPED THE ANSWERING MACHINE OFF.

THEY SAID IT'D BE A COUPLE DAYS, SO I GOT A REPLACEMENT.

I TOOK THE TAPE OUT. IT'S, UH, ON YOUR DESK.

ANY NEWS ABOUT ANN?

NO.

THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH HER NOT CALLING.

THE NUMBER BEING DISCONNECTED.

I CAN JUST FEEL IT.

THE WOMAN CAME TO HER SENSES, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

I MEAN, WHY SHOULD SHE EXPOSE HERSELF, HER AFFAIR? SHE BAILED OUT.

SHE WOULD TELL ME. WE GOT CLOSE.

PLEASE, YOU JUST MET.

FACE IT, LIZZY, SHE'S GONE, SO IS YOUR STORY.

NO! IT'S NOT OVER!

MAYBE IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.

MAYBE IT'S A BIGGER STORY. DON'T YOU GET IT, ERIC?

I REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS IS GONNA BE MY BREAKTHROUGH PIECE.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HEARD THAT PATHETIC LINE?

[CRYING]

LIZZY.

JUST DROP THIS WHOLE THING, HUH?

COME ON, GIVE US A CHANCE TO FINISH THE HOUSE,

BUILD A GREAT LIFE TOGETHER.

FUCK YOU. JESUS CHRIST.

WHY SHOULD I GIVE UP MY DREAMS LIKE YOU?

JUST LET THEM SIT IN A CORNER AND GATHER DUST LIKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT?

WHY IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU?

IT'S NOT OKAY WITH ME.

THERE'S JUST SO MUCH ABOUT US THAT IS NOT OKAY.

I KNOW DINNER WAS CANCELED LAST NIGHT.

WHERE WERE YOU?

JUST HAVING A DRINK. HAVING A COUPLE DRINKS.

BY MYSELF, ALONE. OKAY?

[MACHINE BEEPS]

[MAN] ERIC, THIS IS DAVE AT THE OFFICE.

THE BOSS IS [TAPE GURGLES] BIGALOW FILE AND I CAN'T FIND IT.

I KNOW YOU [TAPE GURGLES] FOR SAFEKEEPING, YOU S.O.B.

HE SEEMS PRETTY ANXIOUS, SO CALL ME [TAPE GURGLES].

[BEEPS]

HEY, ELIZABETH, IT'S SARAH.

WE HAVE [TAPE GURGLES] CALL YOU. SO CALL ME WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. OKAY.

[BEEPS]

[ANN] ELIZABETH,

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT GET A KICK OUT OF EAVESDROPPING ON [TAPE GURGLES].

ALMOST LIKE BEING HERE. HE'S SO GREAT.

[TAPE FAST-FORWARDING]

ANY TIME, DARLING.

[BOB] TELL ME, WHY [TAPE GURGLES]

[ANN GASPING]

[TAPE FAST-FORWARDING]

[BOB MUTTERING, TAPE GURGLES]

[ANN SCREAMING]

[BOB] SO, LIKE, I'M IN THIS, YOU KNOW, TOTAL FUNK.

THE ACTING IS LIKE, COMPLETELY BACK-BURNER.

I'M LIKE BILL HOLDEN IN "SUNSET BOULEVARD," RIGHT?

AND I'M IN NEW YORK, DOING MY USUAL SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE PIERRE BAR.

THE NIGHT MAN FLOATS ME A DOUBLE CUANTRO,

'CAUSE HE KNOWS I LIKE THE FRENCH STUFF.

IT IMPRESSES THE LADIES OR WHATEVER.

SAYS HE'S GOT A GUY FROM L.A.,

WANTS TO MEET ME, IT'S A HUSH-HUSH THING.

BUT HE SMELLS MONEY, RIGHT?

SO RIGHT AWAY, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'M INTERESTED.

ANYWAY, LISTEN TO THIS, BY THE WAY.

"BOB, THE NEWCOMER,

"FROM NEW YORK, WITH A HAUNTING PRESENCE,

TURNS IN A TRULY INSPIRING PERFORMANCE." [LAUGHS]

COOL! ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?

ANYWAY, SO, I MEET THE DUDE, WHICH IS WHAT I CALL HIM,

THE DUDE, RIGHT, AND HE LAYS OUT THE GIG FOR ME.

ALL I GOTTA DO, IS I HAVE TO INITIATE AN AFFAIR WITH THIS BROAD, RIGHT?

BUT HE'S GONNA GIVE ME ALL THE PARTICULARS THAT I NEED

TO LIKE, PROPERLY SEDUCE HER.

NO SHIT! SERIOUSLY.

I MEAN, HE'S GIVING ME ALL THE ACCOUTREMENTS.

I'M TALKING A CAR, UPGRADING THREADS, EVERYTHING, RIGHT?

SO HE SHOWS ME A PICTURE. I GOTTA SEE WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE.

AND SHE LOOKS GOOD. I MEAN, SHE'S ALMOST A BABE.

IT'S LIKE, I MEAN, SHE'S A LITTLE BIT SEDATE LOOKING.

BUT I'M THINKING, "THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM." TOTALLY DOABLE, NAILABLE THING.

PLUS, HE GOT YOU THE LEAD IN THE PLAY, RIGHT?

MM-HMM, YES. GOD, I LOVE THIS CITY.

COCKROACH TO BUDDING STAR IN TWO MONTHS. MM-HMM.

WHAT SORT OF EXTENSION ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? MAYBE JUST A WEEK.

YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, AREN'T YOU?

NO.

THEN LET'S HAVE IT.

I JUST NEED A FEW DAYS TO VERIFY SOME THINGS THAT SHE TOLD ME.

DON'T TRY TO BULLSHIT ME. WHAT'S THE REAL REASON?

I NEED TO NAIL MY ENDING.

THAT'S ALL YOU HAD TO SAY, ELIZABETH.

I'LL GIVE YOU ONE WEEK BECAUSE I RESPECT YOUR HONESTY.

ELIZABETH, WHICH ONE OF THESE WOULD YOU GO WITH?

WHO'S HE?

THAT'S OUR CHOICE.

[ELIZABETH] SO, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE AN ACTOR?

UH, WELL, BECAUSE, WHENEVER YOU SAY THAT, PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE A FLAKE.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE NOT FAMOUS.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

WELL, I WAS INTERVIEWING ANN FOR THIS STORY I'M DOING

AND NOW SHE'S DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ME?

I MEAN, 'CAUSE IF YOU THINK I CAN HOOK YOU UP WITH HER, YOU'RE WRONG.

ANYTHING PERSONAL WOULD REALLY HELP.

NO, SEE, ANN WAS-- SHE WAS REAL GOOD AT KEEPING HER LIFE EXTRA-PRIVATE.

SO, ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU'RE HAVING A RELATIONSHIP

WITH A WOMAN AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT HER?

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL. I KNOW PLENTY.

I KNOW ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

I KNOW, LIKE, UH, WHAT HER FAVORITE FOREPLAY IS.

I KNOW HOW SHE TREMBLES JUST BEFORE SHE COMES.

I KNOW LOTS OF THINGS ABOUT HER, PRETTY PRIVATE STUFF,

JUST NOT STUFF THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU OR YOUR LITTLE INTERVIEW.

HOW ABOUT HER HUSBAND? DID SHE EVER MENTION HIM-- MAYBE WHERE HE WORKS,

WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING?

NOPE. WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE. I'M SURE SHE TOLD YOU.

REALLY, IT WAS NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

MAYBE SHE JUST HAD HER FILL AND THOUGHT ENOUGH'S ENOUGH.

HMM. LAST TIME I SPOKE TO HER,

SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU.

SHE SOUNDED VERY EXCITED.

WHAT? [LAUGHING]

IT'S BULLSHIT.

OKAY? SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HER HUSBAND, NOT ME.

SHE HAD GREAT SEX WITH ME.

IT WASN'T LOVE.

I THINK SHE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE.

WELL, SHE'S WRONG. SHE DIDN'T SOUND WRONG.

ANN CAN SOUND A LOT OF WAYS, OKAY?

SHE WAS VERY PRACTICED IN THE ART OF DECEPTION.

I HAVE A FEELING YOU'RE NOT BAD AT IT YOURSELF.

ONLY WHEN I'M PAID TO BE.

I'M AN ACTOR.

OH.

THAT'S NICE. THANK YOU.

SHE MADE QUITE A POINT OF A CATHOLIC BOARDING SCHOOL THAT SHE WENT TO.

GRADUATE AT THE TOP OF HER CLASS.

[LAUGHING] WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

A CATHOLIC BOARDING SCHOOL, THE TOP OF HER CLASS?

COME ON. NO, NO, NO, NO. ANN DIDN'T FINISH HIGH SCHOOL.

ARE YOU SURE?

I'M POSITIVE.

[ANSWERING MACHINE MESSAGE, GARBLED]

[TAPE REWINDING]

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY? I FIGURED IT OUT.

[GASPS]

GOD, YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE?

WASN'T HARD TO FIND.

WHAT DID YOU FIGURE OUT? SOMETHING ABOUT ANN?

NO. ABOUT YOU.

SEE, FIRST, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,

WHAT IS THIS NICE, HAPPILY MARRIED WOMAN DOING

WRITING ABOUT EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS?

IT DOESN'T ADD UP.

I GET PAID TO BE INTERESTED.

I DON'T BUY IT.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT ANN OR HER AFFAIRS.

THIS IS ABOUT YOU.

PORTRAIT OF THE WRITER EMERGING FROM DARKNESS. HMM?

THAT'S RIDICULOUS. IS IT?

[CLEARS THROAT] YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ANN.

YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND YOURSELF.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME. YEAH? INDULGE ME.

I MEAN, YOU-- YOU HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE

TO-TO HIDE YOUR LIFE

INSIDE THIS NARROW LITTLE COMFORT ZONE.

IT IS SO OBVIOUS, WHAT KIND OF WORLD YOU'VE CREATED FOR YOURSELF.

YOU ARE NOT THE SUCCESSFUL WRITER THAT YOU SHOULD BE. WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE TRYING TO PROTECT OURSELVES DOESN'T WORK-- IT NEVER DOES.

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT TRYING TO BE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE.

LIFE IS ABOUT ONE THING-- IT'S ABOUT LIVING.

TO BE TRULY ALIVE, ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

TO FINALLY BE FREE?

I UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU SEE, I GET IT.

I GET YOU.

AND HE DOESN'T, DOES HE?

YOUR HUSBAND, I MEAN.

OF COURSE HE DOESN'T, BECAUSE HE IS NOT LIKE US.

HE'S NOT AN ARTIST.

SOMETIMES I GET SO SCARED.

I KNOW YOU DO.

BUT IT'S CALLING YOU,

AND YOU'VE GOT TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITH REGRETS, DO YOU?

HMM?

NO.

[PHONE RINGING] [GASPS]

HELLO? [ERIC] I GOT THE BIGALOW ACCOUNT!

THAT'S GREAT, HONEY. CAN YOU GIVE ME A RIDE TO THE AIRPORT?

SURE. JUST LET ME KNOW WHERE AND WHEN. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I LOVE YOU.

[SIGHS]

[ANN'S VOICE, GARBLED]

[BOB] ARE YOU READY?

[GARBLED TAPE CONTINUES]

[ANN'S SCREAMS, GARBLED]

SHE SOUNDED REALLY SCARED, LIKE SOMETHING AWFUL WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

ELIZABETH, STOP OBSESSING ABOUT THIS, JUST DROP THE STORY.

I CAN HANDLE IT!

YOU KNOW, I DON'T GET YOU ANYMORE.

THIS SOUNDS DANGEROUS. IT'S TIME TO BACK OFF, OKAY?

I CAN'T BACK OFF. I HAVE TO DO THIS.

I KNOW YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND. TRY ME.

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT BEING SAFE, IT'S NOT ABOUT PRETENDING.

IT'S ABOUT SEEING THINGS FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE.

LIKE NOT PRETENDING WE'RE NOT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR MARRIAGE,

THAT I DIDN'T FIND A BOOK IN THE CLOSET FROM ANOTHER WOMAN,

OBVIOUSLY A RELATIONSHIP YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO HIDE FROM ME.

WHY CAN'T YOU LET GO OF THE PAST?

WHY CAN'T YOU? I CAN'T GET INTO THIS RIGHT NOW. I GOTTA GO.

YOU'VE ALWAYS GOTTA GO! I'M NOT BACKING OFF, ERIC!

[GRUNTING] MAN, YOU ARE GOOD.

IF I WERE GRIFF, I WOULD NOT WANT TO MESS WITH YOU.

[PANTING]

I THINK I FEEL BETTER. YEAH. [LAUGHING]

IT'S YOUR TURN NOW. GREAT.

HEY, I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK YOU, HOW'D THAT SURPRISE GO?

WHAT SURPRISE?

YOU KNOW, ERIC SITTING NEXT TO YOU ON THE FLIGHT TO SAN FRANCISCO.

I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED VERY ROMANTIC.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, LAURIE?

WHAT?

HIS SECRETARY CALLED ME

AND SHE ASKED ME TO BOOK A SEAT NEXT TO YOU.

ERIC DOESN'T HAVE A SECRETARY.

HE DOESN'T?

SO, WHO DID SIT NEXT TO YOU?

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

OKAY, I'M OUT OF HERE.

HERE'S THE NUMBER OF THE DETECTIVE IN NEW YORK.

I GAVE HIM THE RUNDOWN AND I TOLD HIM TO CALL YOU WITH SOME ANSWERS.

PERFECT. THANK YOU, LAURIE. YOU'RE A LIFESAVER.

I'M SO ON TOP OF IT, IT'S SCARY.

I'VE GOTTA RUN. CIAO.

YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE.

GOOD NIGHT, LAURIE.

WELL, IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU HERE.

ONE MIGHT BELIEVE YOU ARE ACTUALLY A WRITER.

YEAH, LITTLE OLD ME, OUT IN THE REAL WORLD LIVING DANGEROUSLY.

WHY THE LONG FACE? YOU HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH THE ARTICLE?

WHY DON'T WE GO ACROSS THE STREET

AND HAVE OURSELVES A DRINK AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT.

COME ON, GRIFF, YOU KNOW I DON'T DRINK.

YOU'RE A BIG GIRL, ELIZABETH.

AND I'M A GOOD LISTENER. COME ON.

WHAT THE HELL.

[ELIZABETH] SHE'S IN THE SEAT NEXT TO ME, SHE'S AT THE SAME HOTEL.

MAKES SURE SHE RUNS INTO ME. JUST TOO MANY COINCIDENCES.

IT'S LIKE SHE'S LYING TO ME ABOUT EVERYTHING.

YOUR SUBJECT IS BECOMING A SLIPPERY CHARACTER.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD FROM HER?

FOUR DAYS AGO.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY WEIRD?

I CAN'T QUITE EXPLAIN IT, BUT IT'S LIKE SHE WANTS ME TO WRITE THIS ARTICLE.

LIKE SHE FOUND ME.

I'D GIVE HER A COUPLE OF DAYS. DO YOU HAVE ANY LEADS TO GO ON?

MAYBE. THERE'S THIS GUY.

HER LOVER? YES.

BUT HE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW ANYTHING.

GRIFFIN, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR MATE IS HAVING AN AFFAIR?

I'M SURE THERE ARE SIGNS.

INTIMATE ONES, BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SO HARD ON ME?

EVER SINCE I CAME HERE, IT'S LIKE I CAN DO NOTHING RIGHT.

ELIZABETH, YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO FLY, BUT YOU'RE STILL CRAWLING.

AND THERE IS ANOTHER REASON

WHY I HAD TO KEEP MY DISTANCE.

I KNOW WHY. IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL,

AND I'M NOTHING BUT A SCANDALOUS FRESHMAN.

BELIEVE ME, I GET IT.

ELIZABETH, EVER SINCE WE FIRST MET

WHEN I WAS LECTURING AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY I SAW HOW MUCH ALIKE WE ARE.

I'VE WATCHED YOU BLOSSOM INTO THIS INCREDIBLY AMAZING WOMAN.

AND I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT YOU HAD IT IN YOU TO BE AN INCREDIBLE JOURNALIST.

YOU THINK I'M GOOD? YES, I DO.

WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME?

WHAT I DIDN'T COUNT ON WAS--

WAS FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU.

ELIZABETH,

LET ME JUST SAY,

I THINK WE WOULD BE A GREAT TEAM.

I THINK WE COULD HAVE AN AMAZING LIFE TOGETHER.

WOULD YOU CARE TO DISCUSS THIS AT ANOTHER TIME?

[ANN] HE GIVES ME FLOWERS, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.

WHEN HE KISSES ME, IT'S ELECTRIC.

AND DID I MENTION TO YOU THAT HE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO SATISFY A WOMAN?

[ELIZABETH] YOU'RE SHAMELESS.

[ANN LAUGHING] PERHAPS. BUT I'M HAPPY.

YOU DON'T KNOW HAPPINESS UNTIL YOU'VE HAD A LOVER LIKE BOB.

[PHONE RINGING]

HELLO?

DO YOU LIKE THEM?

YES. THEY'RE VERY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO UPSET YOU EARLIER.

[SIGHS]

IT'S OKAY, IT'S JUST--

WELL, YOU CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.

LISTEN, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.

I FOUND ANN'S HOTEL RECEIPT.

MAYBE IT'LL HELP.

WHEN CAN I GET IT?

OH, UM, HOW ABOUT TOMORROW NIGHT?

AFTER MY SHOW.

REALLY?YEAH.

YOU COULD, UH-- YOU COULD COME OVER.

YOU HAVE THE ADDRESS, RIGHT?

IT'S ON THE CARD WITH THE FLOWERS.

OKAY. I'LL BE THERE.

OKAY. GOOD.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.

WAIT A MINUTE, BOB? YEAH?

ONE MORE THING.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST WEDNESDAY?

HMM. I WAS-- [CHUCKLES] I WAS DOING MY PLAY.

DID YOU SEE ANN AFTERWARDS?

NO, I WISH I DID. LET ME SEE.

I CAME HOME, I FINISHED THIS BIO I WAS READING ON OLIVIER.

I, UH, MADE A POT OF COFFEE.

MOCHA BEANS. UM--

I SMOKED A CIGAR,

BRUSHED MY TEETH, HAD A PINT OF GREAT ICE CREAM.

ALL RIGHT, I GET THE PICTURE.

[LAUGHING]

WAIT, WHAT FLAVOR?

OH, UH, PEANUT-BUTTER SWIRL.

MMM.

I HOPE THIS WAS PRE-TOOTH BRUSHING.

[LAUGHING]

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE WEIRD.

YEAH. WAIT, I DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT MY WHOLE HAIR PROCESS.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH.

[LAUGHING]

I'M, UM-- I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT EARLIER TODAY.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

TOMORROW NIGHT.

[CHUCKLING]

HERE YOU GO. THANKS.

LET'S GRAB A COFFEE.

CAN WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ICE COFFEES, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM, HERE YOU GO.

HOW'S THE STORY COMING ALONG? GOOD.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I HAVE A DATE TONIGHT TO PICK UP A PIECE OF THE MISSING PUZZLE.

AND WHO HAS THAT PIECE? FRIEND OF A FRIEND.

DOES THIS FRIEND PLAY A PART IN THE FANTASY?

YOU COULD SAY THAT.

BUT IT'S JUST A FANTASY, RIGHT? LAURIE, I'M JUST DOING MY JOB.

I KNOW. I BELIEVE YOU.

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM THE DETECTIVE IN NEW YORK ABOUT BOB?

NOT YET.

HE ALWAYS DELIVERS.

[ELIZABETH] GOD, I HOPE SO.

[KNOCKING] COME IN, IT'S OPEN.

HI.

HI.

WELCOME TO MY BEAUTIFUL ABODE.

WOW, IT'S GREAT.

THANKS. CONGRATULATIONS.

I READ YOUR REVIEWS, THEY'RE REALLY GREAT.

YEAH. YEAH, LOOKS LIKE I'M, UH,

FINALLY STARTING TO GET THE RECOGNITION I DESERVE.

"KISS OR KILL."

[LAUGHING]

I LIKE THAT. ME TOO. SIT DOWN.

MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE. RELAX. TAKE YOUR COAT OFF.

THANKS.

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A DRINK.

HERE'S TO BEING ABSOLUTELY

TOTALLY,

100% ALIVE--

TRULY ALIVE.

[LAUGHS]

I HAVE A FEELING YOU KNOW A LOT ABOUT THAT.

I DO.

OH, MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE THAT PICTURE.

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT ONE IN MY HOUSE.

REALLY? I'VE HAD THAT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.

ME, TOO. NO WAY.

WHEN I FIRST SAW IT, I WAS TRULY AMAZED.

YOU BOX, TOO?

YES, I DO.

SO DO I.

YOU DO?

A LITTLE BIT.

LET ME GET THAT RECEIPT FOR YOU. OKAY.

HERE.

THANK YOU.

HERE, HERE, HERE.

TASTE THAT.

I GOTTA GO.

[MOANING] WHERE YOU GONNA GO?

OH.

[MOANING]

[MOANING]

SON OF A BITCH.

WHAT THE HELL--

THINK YOU'RE GONNA NAIL ME? NO FUCKING WAY.

NO FUCKING WAY.

[SIGHING]

[DOOR OPENING, CLOSING]

SHIT.

[TOILET FLUSHING]

[WHISPERING] WHERE IS IT?

"JENNIFER."

[MOUTHING]

YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?

YEAH. THANKS. [SPITTING]

MORNING.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

[ERIC] HEY, IT'S ME. YOU THERE?

LIZZY?

I MISS YOU.

[BEEPS]

[ERIC] BABY, WHERE ARE YA?

I HOPE EVERYTHING'S OKAY. LOOK, THINGS ARE GOING GREAT UP HERE.

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE. I'M SORRY. I LOVE YOU. CALL ME AT THE HOTEL.

[BEEPS]

[GRIFFIN] WHERE'S MY STORY, ELIZABETH? YOUR TIME'S UP.

[BEEPS] [WHISPERS] WHAT IF I CAN'T DO THIS?

[MAN] YEAH, THIS IS DETECTIVE JAMES MARTIN.

I GOT THAT INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED.

I'M GONNA FAX YOU THE RAP SHEET ON THIS GUY.

HE'S A SEASONED CRIMINAL WITH SEVERAL FELONIES ON HIS RECORD.

YOU SHOULD BE REAL CAREFUL AROUND HIM.

[BEEPS]

[GASPS]

[EXHALES]

ERIC, WHERE ARE YOU?

[CRYING] WHERE ARE YOU?

[WOMAN] SAN FRANCISCO HILTON.

ERIC BARTON, PLEASE.

UH, HE CHECKED OUT THIS MORNING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE CHECKED OUT? ARE YOU SURE?

YES, POSITIVE. YEAH, OKAY. THANK YOU.

HE CHECKED OUT.

ERIC, WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEED YOU?

WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

FUCKING LIES!

[SOBBING]

HI. HEY.

CAN YOU HELP ME? SURE.

A FRIEND OF MINE MAY HAVE PURCHASED SOMETHING HERE.

CAN YOU MAKE ANY SENSE OF THIS?

CAN MAKE OUT A FIRST NAME-- JENNIFER. BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.

LAST NAME IS TOO SMUDGED. [SIGHS]

WELL, IS THERE ANY OTHER SOURCE WHERE IT MIGHT BE?

NOT ON A FIRST-TIME BUYER.

NICE-LOOKING LADY, THOUGH. GREAT LEGS.

CAN YOU TELL WHAT SHE BOUGHT?

SONY EIGHT MILLIMETER VIDEO CAMERA WITH AN AUTOMATIC TIMER.

SHE WANTED THAT. FOR THE CAMERA?

SURE. SECURITY, SURVEILLANCE, KINKY STUFF IN THE BEDROOM. [CHUCKLES]

NO, JUST KIDDING. SHE DIDN'T SEEM THE TYPE. HE DID.

HE? YEAH, THE GUY WITH HER.

TALL, DARK, KIND OF ITALIAN.

PASSING HIMSELF OFF AS AN ACTOR.

GREAT EXCUSE NOT TO WORK IF YOU ASK ME.

FUNNY, I JUST CALLED.

HIS ORDER IS READY. WHAT ORDER?

MADE SOME DUPES FOR HIM, COPIES OF A VIDEO.

IT WAS A RUSH ORDER, I GUESS. SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

I'D GET IT FOR YOU, BUT IT'S NOT HERE.

WE FARMED IT OUT. HE'S PICKING IT UP DIRECTLY FROM THE LAB DOWNTOWN.

TELL THEM I SENT YOU.

THANK YOU. HEY, COME BACK ANY TIME!

I GET YOU A DEAL ON A VIDEO.

[BELL RINGS] MMM!

YEAH.

[GRIFFIN] HONESTLY, I DON'T SEE ONE DECENT PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WHOLE BUNCH.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT--

PLEASE, JUST ONE MORE DAY. I'M ONTO SOMETHING, I SWEAR.

HOLD ON A SECOND.

ELIZABETH, I NEED REAL PROOF.

I'M GETTING IT.

LEAVE IT HERE. I'LL GIVE IT A READ. MEET ME ACROSS THE STREET AT 5:30

AND LEAVE YOUR CELL NUMBER.

NO, NOT YOU.

WELL, HONESTLY, JUST THE THOUGHT OF LOOKING AT THEM AGAIN MAKES ME NAUSEOUS.

FORGET ABOUT IT. I'M PULLING YOU OFF THE PROJECT.

[LINE RINGING]

[MACHINE BEEPS]

GRIFF, ELIZABETH. I'M ON TO SOMETHING.

335 BRILL. I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR OUR 5:30, BUT I'LL BE THERE.

GOTTA HAVE THE GUTS TO KNOW YOUR ENDING, BETH.

OKAY.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BOB'S VOICE] SHE WAS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND.

[BOB LAUGHING]

I THINK THAT THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

NO WAY.

HEY, I FULFILLED MY END OF THE DEAL, MAN!

YOU CAN'T JUST DECIDE THAT NOW! I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DO THIS!

HEY, FUCK YOU, MAN! WE HAD A DEAL.

THE GIRL IS FINE.

LISTEN, I'M WATCHING THIS THING RIGHT NOW. WELL, LISTEN TO ME.

I'VE GOT THE ORIGINAL AND I'VE GOT THE ONLY COPIES, OKAY?

SO, WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?

LOOK, IF SHE BECOMES A PROBLEM, I'LL TAKE CARE OF HER PERSONALLY.

UH, I'M GONNA CALL YOU RIGHT BACK.

[BOB] HEY!

ELIZABETH!

WAIT UP!

[SCREAMS]

[PANTING]

[HITTING BUTTONS]

[SCREAMS] COME ON!

COME ON.

[PANTING]

[PANTING]

DAMN! FUCK!

[SCREAMS]

ELIZABETH, GOD, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

MY STORY JUST GOT BIGGER.

THE WOMAN I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR, I THINK SHE'S DEAD.

DEAD? MY GOD, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'LL CHECK IN LATER.

NAILING THE ENDING OF YOUR STORY DOES NOT MEAN THE END OF YOU, ELIZABETH.

DO YOU HAVE PROOF? I'M THIS CLOSE.

MY GOD, CHILD, WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO?

[GRIFFIN] LIZZY, HONEY, WHERE ARE YOU?

LIZZY?

IS HE AT THE THEATER YET?

HE'S SCHEDULED TO GO ON TONIGHT, BUT HE ISN'T HERE YET.

DAMN IT, I'VE GOTTA GET THAT TAPE.

I KNOW THAT'S WHAT ANN WAS TRYING TO SAY ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HE HASN'T? BECAUSE I SNUCK OVER TO HIS PLACE AND SAW HIM WATCHING IT.

I'VE GOTTA GET IN THERE, GET IT AND GET OUT. YOU'RE IN WAY OVER YOUR HEAD.

YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL. I KNOW, BUT LIKE GRIFF SAYS, NO GUTS, NO STORY.

LAURIE, I NEED YOU TO BUY ME SOME TIME. IF HE SHOWS UP HERE,

JUST MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T LEAVE.

BE CAREFUL.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING]

[DOOR OPENING]

[MAN] OKAY, THANKS! SEE YOU LATER.

BOB?

[MAN GASPS]

[GASPING]

[GASPING] THE DUDE.

I'M NOT--

[FOOTSTEPS CLIMBING STAIRS]

[MAN WHISTLING]

[PLASTIC RUSTLING]

[ZIPPER CLOSING]

[BODY BAG DRAGGING ON FLOOR]

[GASPING]

[CAR DOOR OPENING]

[DOOR CLOSING]

ERIC?

[NO AUDIO]

OH, MY GOD.

[DIALING]

[LINE RINGING]

COME ON, PICK UP. PICK UP.

GRIFF!

ELIZABETH? YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT I'VE JUST SEEN.

WHAT'S WRONG? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? ELIZABETH, WHAT'S WRONG?

ELIZABETH?

[CAR DOOR CLOSING] WHERE ARE YOU?

OH, SHIT. HE'S STILL HERE. ELIZABETH!

HE'S HERE! WHO?

PICK ME UP AT THE MARKET ON OCEAN. PLEASE HURRY.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

[ENGINE NOT TURNING OVER]

[ENGINE STARTS]

DRIVE!

[PANTING] ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS VIDEO-- WHAT'S ON IT, WHAT I SAW TONIGHT.

HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO ANYONE ELSE ABOUT THIS?

NO, I MEAN, I HAVEN'T HAD TIME. I JUST CAME FROM THERE.

WHERE? BOB'S.

BOB? BOB WAS MURDERED TONIGHT BY--

OH, MY GOD. BY, I THINK, ERIC, BUT I DON'T KNOW. IT JUST HAPPENED SO FAST.

MURDERED?

WELL, JUST RELAX, ELIZABETH. I HAVE TO TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU'LL BE SAFE.

[GASPS]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? MM-HMM.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

I JUST HAVE TO MAKE A LITTLE DETOUR. I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

I HAVE A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU, ELIZABETH.

[CHUCKLES]

DID I EVER TELL YOU THAT I HATE SURPRISES?

[GASPING]

YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU SURELY CANNOT HIDE.

WHAT IS DESTINED TO BE, SHALL BE.

[GRIFFIN] PLEASE, MY LOVE.

[ELIZABETH] WHAT IS IT?

[GRIFFIN] IT'S FOR YOU.

[ELIZABETH] I CAN'T. OH, I THINK YOU CAN.

I THINK WE CAN.

CAN WHAT?

CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT.

WHATEVER YOU WANT, ELIZABETH.

WE THINK WE KNOW LIFE.

WE THINK WE KNOW PEOPLE, BUT WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

THE ONLY THING I AM CERTAIN OF IS MY LOVING YOU.

I NEVER REALIZED I WAS CAPABLE OF SO MUCH LOVE.

NOR OF DOING WHAT I HAVE UNFORTUNATELY DONE,

WHICH CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE FORCED ME TO DO.

ANN WAS AN EXCEPTIONALLY GIFTED WOMAN AT MAKING PEOPLE BELIEVE

WHAT SHE WANTED THEM TO BELIEVE.

EVERYONE THOUGHT SHE WAS SUCH A DEVOTED WIFE.

WIFE? OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT, ELIZABETH.

THE HATE IN OUR MARRIAGE STEMMED FROM SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN MERE INFIDELITY.

SHE WANTED TO DESTROY ME, DESTROY ALL MY DREAMS,

WHEN SHE REALIZED I WAS NO LONGER IN LOVE WITH HER.

AND SHE WOULD HAVE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME.

SHE WAS AS MANIPULATING AND COLD-BLOODED AS THEY COME.

SHE WAS PEERLESS IN THAT. BUT LET'S NOT DWELL ON THE MORBID.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE SOME STRAWBERRIES?

PLEASE.

OUR LIFE TOGETHER WILL BE RATHER EXTRAORDINARY FROM NOW ON.

TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE LITERARY WORLD.

WE'LL START AT A FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH THE MAGAZINE

STARTING AT A SIX-FIGURE LEVEL.

CAR-- YOUR CHOICE OF COURSE.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A HOUSE IN MALIBU AND A PENTHOUSE IN NEW YORK CITY

AND A TABLE OF YOUR OWN AT ELAINE'S?

WE'LL GO TO ALL THE BEST PLACES. YOU AND I WILL TRAVEL THE WORLD TOGETHER. RIGHT?

ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES, YOU WILL HAVE.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT I HAVE A HUSBAND?

OH, YES, A HUSBAND THAT STARTED THIS WHOLE DIRTY THING.

THE HUSBAND THAT CHEATED, THE HUSBAND THAT LIED,

THE HUSBAND THAT DIDN'T BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS,

JUST CARED ABOUT YOUR PAYCHECK, DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE.

YES, YOUR HUSBAND. I'VE BEEN CONSIDERING THIS.

YOUR PRECIOUS HUSBAND.

HOW WILL YOU EXPLAIN ANN?

APPARENTLY, ANN AND HER LOVER

ARE ON AN EXTENDED VACATION IN BARBADOS.

PROBABLY WILL NOT BE RETURNING, AND THAT OF COURSE WILL DEVASTATE ME,

BUT I WILL CARRY ON.

WHAT ABOUT BOB?

SOMETIMES A MAN'S CHECKERED PAST CATCHES UP WITH HIM

WHICH REQUIRES A HASTY DEPARTURE,

USUALLY TO A FARAWAY, FOREIGN COUNTRY.

YOU CERTAINLY HAVE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING.

YES, I HAVE.

LET'S SAY I'VE EDITED IT DOWN TO A WORKABLE PIECE.

[LAUGHING]

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE, ELIZABETH, IS I LOVE YOU.

I KNOW THE LIFESTYLE THAT YOU WANT.

AND I CAN GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT.

THERE IS, HOWEVER, ONE THING I MUST INSIST UPON.

WE TAKE CARE OF ERIC.

TAKE CARE OF? WE'LL DO IT TOGETHER.

THAT WILL SEAL OUR BOND OF LOVE.

[LOUD KNOCKING] [GASPING]

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND, I'VE INVITED A FRIEND OF YOURS.

ERIC.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. PLEASE.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW THE YOUNG LADY, OUR NEW STAFF JOURNALIST.

PLEASE HAVE A SEAT.

SO YOU ACTUALLY MADE THE BIG TIME? YOU'RE THE NEW STAFF WRITER?

OH, YES. ELIZABETH IS DESTINED FOR BIG THINGS, INDEED.

CONGRATULATIONS, HONEY.

YES. I WAS JUST TELLING ELIZABETH ABOUT THE APARTMENT.

FASCINATING STORY OF HOW I CAME ABOUT FINDING THIS PLACE.

I THOUGHT THIS PLACE WAS ANN'S.

SO DID ANN. LITTLE DID SHE KNOW SHE WAS SUBLETTING FROM ME.

ERIC, I BELIEVE YOU KNOW MY WIFE, ANN, DO YOU NOT?

UH, POSSIBLY.

HMM, POSSIBLY.

FUNNY.

I THOUGHT FOR SURE YOU AND MY WIFE WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR.

[SCOFFS]

ALL RIGHT. LIZZY, THIS GUY'S OUT OF HIS MIND. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

[GRUNTS]

NOW, DOES THAT HELP REFRESH YOUR MEMORY?

[COCKS GUN]

ONE OF THOSE LONG, LINGERING AFTERNOONS

UP THERE IN MY HOTEL WITH MY WIFE.

OR DO YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN, COLLECT YOUR THOUGHTS?

PUT YOUR PATHETIC ASS IN THIS CHAIR.

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

SEE? HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING.

HE DOESN'T?

EXHIBIT "A", ANN'S DIARY.

LET ME READ A FEW PASSAGES.

"AUGUST 19TH," JUST SEVERAL MONTHS AGO,

"ERIC MADE SUCH A FUNNY JOKE TODAY ABOUT THAT NITWIT WIFE OF HIS, THE WRITER.

"THE JOKE WAS, 'WAS SHE MORE INEXPERIENCED AT MAKING LOVE OR WRITING?'

GOD, DID WE LAUGH."

YOU'RE LYING. I NEVER SAID THAT!

IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE. NO!

NO! YOU'RE LYING! HE'S LYING!

IS THIS LYING?

ALL RIGHT.

IT HAPPENED BEFORE WE MET, I SWEAR.

IS THAT BEING A DEVOTED HUSBAND, ERIC?

I THINK IT'S DISGUSTING.

MAKING FUN OF YOUR LOVELY WIFE'S DREAMS.

I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT ALL ALONG.

ALL RIGHT, I HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OUT OF YOU,

YOU FUCKING PSYCHO!

[GUNSHOT] GODDAMN!

[GROANING]

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN?

WHY DO PEOPLE NOT BELIEVE WHEN SOMEONE HAS A GUN THEY WILL USE IT?

I HAVE YOUR WIFE AND A GUN AND I WILL USE THE GUN AGAIN.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANING]

YOU OKAY?

[ERIC] GET THE GUN! GET THE GUN!

[GUNSHOT]

[MOANS]

HONEY! HONEY, YOU OKAY?

OH, GOD. OH, FUCK.

[SIRENS WAILING]

COME ON.

[ERIC] IS HE DEAD?

[ELIZABETH] I'M A WRITER NOW-- A SUCCESSFUL, SINGLE WRITER.

ERIC AND I TRIED TO WORK IT OUT,

BUT IT WAS OBVIOUS THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO WORK OUT.

OF COURSE, GRIFF WASN'T DEAD. [APPLAUSE]

TWO WEEKS AGO, I HEARD THAT HE'D ESCAPED FROM THE SANITARIUM.

THEY TOLD ME THAT HE SAID THAT HE LIVED ONLY FOR ME.

AND IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I ALMOST ENVY THAT.

I WISH I FELT THAT WAY ABOUT SOMEONE.

WHO KNOWS? MAYBE SOMEDAY, I WILL.

GREAT BOOK.

THANK YOU.

THANKS FOR COMING.

AND YES, I AM WRITING ANOTHER ONE.

THIS IS EXCITING. THE TURNOUT IS SO GREAT.

I KNOW. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, LIZZY.

I'M GONNA GET YOU SOME WATER. OKAY.

CONGRATULATIONS, ELIZABETH.

YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO SATISFY A LOT OF PEOPLE'S FANTASY.

HOW'S THAT?

YOU SHOT THE BOSS.

OH.

I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU TO DINNER. I'M IN TOWN FOR A COUPLE DAYS.

I DON'T THINK SO. UM, THIS PRESS TOUR, IT'S KILLING ME.

BUT THANKS FOR THE OFFER.

RIGHT.

[GIGGLING] NOW THAT IS ONE GOOD-LOOKING MAN.

WHY DIDN'T YOU ACCEPT?

LAURIE, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING CASUAL.

AND EVEN THE MOST INNOCENT LITTLE AFFAIR

CAN END IN DISASTER.

I SUPPOSE YOU'RE RIGHT.

[GRIFFIN'S VOICE ECHOING] YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU SURELY CANNOT HIDE.

[GASPS]

I'M SORRY.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? WHAT HAPPENED?

YEAH, I'M FINE, UH--

CAN I SIGN THAT FOR YOU? YES, PLEASE.

HERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

[GRIFFIN'S VOICE ECHOING] WHAT IS DESTINED TO BE, SHALL BE.
