PRETTY WOMAN
PART 10
INT. HOTEL LOBBY - DAY
Mr. Thomas looks up from the desk. And stares. Vivian and a
BELLHOP stroll through the hotel entrance and across the hotel
lobby to the elevator. The bellhop's arms are packed with boxes
and shopping bags. Mr. Thomas can't help it. He smiles to
himself.
INT. PENTHOUSE LIVING ROOM - DAY
Vivian opens the front door for the Bellhop who carries in her
packages. She motions for him to place them on the couch. He
does. Vivian happily tips him with a five dollar bill. He
exits. The door closes.
VIVIAN
Wheee!!!
Vivian does a giddy spin and falls onto the couch.
INT. BROKERAGE HOUSE MEETING ROOM - DAY
Stuckey enters. Edward is standing at the end of a long
meeting table. He is serving himself coffee from a tray.
STUCKEY
(gloating)
You were right. Kross mortgaged
everything he has down to his
grandson's college tuition to
secure loans from a bank. Not
just any bank. One we do business
with.
Edward just sips his coffee.
STUCKEY (cont'd)
It goes without saying that your
business means a great deal more
to them than our friend Kross's.
(a beat)
All you have to do is make a call.
Edward is silent. Stuckey is again surprised.
STUCKEY
Excuse me for saying this but what
is wrong with you this week?
First, you go soft on the pension
funds. Now, you're giving him
the chance to get away? As of
two minutes ago, you are committed
to the tune of over fifty million
dollars --
EDWARD
Come on, Bill, don't talk to me
about how much money's involved.
It's my money.
STUCKEY
And some of it's mine. Edward,
his jugular's exposed.
Edward hesitates. Then:
EDWARD
Get the bank on the phone for me.
INT. PENTHOUSE - EVENING
Edward enters. He closes the door. He turns. And stops. A
beautiful, candlelit, food laden table has been set up in the
middle of the room. Champagne and wine chills in a bucket.
A fire burns in the fireplace. Music is playing.
VIVIAN (O.S.)
Hi.
Edward turns. And stares again. Vivian stands in the bedroom
doorway. She is wearing an exquisite silk dressing gown. She
looks incredibly beautiful.
VIVIAN
I thought maybe you'd like dinner.
EDWARD
Thank you. I would.
(he fingers her dressing
gown)
Nice.
VIVIAN
Wait till you see what I have
on underneath.
EDWARD
Please.
She opens the dressing gown. What she has on underneath is
absolutely nothing. Edward crosses to her. Taking her in his
arms, he lifts her up and kisses her breasts.
VIVIAN
What about dinner?
EDWARD
Dinner can wait.
INT. PENTHOUSE BATHROOM - NIGHT
The bathroom is lit by candles. Vivian and Edward are in the
marble tub. Vivian sits behind Edward. She lazily washes his
shoulders and back with a large sponge.
VIVIAN
You always been rich?
EDWARD
No.
VIVIAN
Seems like it. I guess it's easy
to get used to, huh?
EDWARD
Easier than learning how to be poor.
(a moment; and then:)
My father's family was wealthy.
When I was young there were cars
and houses, private schools,
nannies. But then my father
divorced my mother to marry
another woman. And he took his
money with him.
Silence.
VIVIAN
Keep talkin'. I like hearin'.
EDWARD
Not much to tell. I went to
public school. Went to
university on scholarship. Went
to work for an investment firm.
In eight years I owned it.
(and then; growing very
quiet)
My father was chairman of the
board of the third company I ever
went after. I swallowed that
company and shit out the pieces.
One of the pieces was him.
Vivian softly traces small patterns on Edward's shoulders with
a finger.
VIVIAN
You still mad at'm?
EDWARD
He died a long time ago.
She gently rests her head on his back.
EXT. HOTEL ROOM - DAY
PANNING BELLIES People are sunbathing by the pool.
Overweight... lobster red... old and stretch-marked... fishy
white... and then gorgeous. The gorgeous is Vivian. She is
wearing a miniscule bikini and sunglasses.
WAITER (O.S.)
Miss Vivian?
She looks up. A young WAITER, looking a little dry-mouthed at
the sight of her, is holding a telephone.
WAITER
You have a call. Mr. Harris.
VIVIAN
(taking the phone)
Hi, baby.
(a moment)
I'll be ready. Bye.
She hangs up. She looks at the Waiter, confused.
VIVIAN
What do you wear to polo?
EXT. THE LOS ANGELES EQUESTRIAN CENTER - LATE AFTERNOON
Horses and riders crash and careen on the playing field. An
enthusiastic crowd cheers.
DOWN OFF THE EDGE OF THE FIELD
a tailgate party using Cadillacs and Rolls Royces is in
progress. Horses and riders thunder by a crowd of very
well-dressed, successful-looking people -- celebrities, execs,
socialites, aficionados -- most of whom ignore the game. They
are there to see and be seen much more than to watch a polo
match.
EXT. EQUESTRIAN CENTER - LATER AFTERNOON
Vivian and Edward make their way towards the party. Edward is
wearing his new tie. Vivian is looking very chic and beautiful
in one of her new outfits. Not that it's helping -- the place,
the people, the wealth -- everything here suddenly has her
overwhelmed. She suddenly stops.
VIVIAN
You're really pushing it,
bringing me here.
EDWARD
I think it's exciting.
VIVIAN
What id we run into someone I
know?
EDWARD
I really doubt anyone here
frequents Hollywood Boulevard.
VIVIAN
You did.
A VOICE calls out.
STUCKEY (O.S.)
Edward!
They turn. William Stuckey is with a group of people. He waves
them over.
STUCKEY (cont'd)
Come on! Over here!
Edward takes Vivian's arm and leads her forward.
EXT. EQUESTRIAN CENTER - LATE AFTERNOON
Stuckey grins and shakes Edward's hand.
STUCKEY
(looking at Vivian)
Well, well, well...
Vivian dislikes this guy on sight. Dislikes the frosty looking
woman at his side.
EDWARD
Bill, I'd like you to meet Vivian.
STUCKEY
(holding out a hand; smiling)
Bill Stuckey, Vivian. My wife,
Elizabeth.
VIVIAN
Hi.
Elizabeth Stuckey stretches her thin lips in a col smile.
STUCKEY
Lots of fun people here. Let me
get you two some champagne.
He moves quickly away.
ELIZABETH STUCKEY
Excuse me.
She moves to greet someone else. Vivian and Edward survey the
milling CROWD.
VIVIAN
(sarcastic)
Real genuine guy.
EDWARD
He's good at what he does.
VIVIAN
You could freeze ice on his wife's
ass. She anything like your ex?
EDWARD
(a small smile)
Shall we mingle?
EXT. EQUESTRIAN CENTER - ON THE FIELD - LATE AFTERNOON
A goal is scored.
IN A SERIES OF CUTS
Edward watches and guides her, Vivian sips champagne and meets
and chats and wins over different PEOPLE.
EXT. EQUESTRIAN CENTER - ANOTHER ANGLE - LATE AFTERNOON
A group of PEOPLE.
WOMAN
I simply love your dress, Vivian.
VIVIAN
This old thing?
WOMAN
Of course, a figure like yours
can wear anything. You must work
out constantly.
VIVIAN
I lead a very physical life.
OLDER MAN
Are you into running, Vivian?
VIVIAN
I'm into walking. I walk a lot.
Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it.

, The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.
The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight url=http://www.wowgoldvip.fr]wow gold[/url].

life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we conscious of health until we are ill.
