SZABO:

Do you like Bonnard?

ALICE:

Yes, I do.

SZABO:

Would you like me to show them to

you?

ALICE:

Well, maybe not just right now.

SZABO:

We won't be gone long.

ALICE smiles and shakes her head.

BILL AND THE MODELS

NUALA slowly leading BILL to the door.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NUALA:

Do you know what's so nice about

doctors?

BILL:

Usually a lot less than people think.

NUALA:

They look so... knowledgable!

BILL:

They are very knowledgeable - about

all sorts of things.

GAYLE:

But I'll bet they work too hard. I bet

they miss out on a lot of fun.

BILL:

You're absolutely right. Where we

going, girls?

NUALA (laughs)

Where the rainbow ends.

BILL slows down a little.

GAYLE:

Don't you want to go where the

rainbow ends?

BILL:

Do I want to go where the rainbow

ends?

Before he can answer, a big man who looks like he stepped right

out of _The Godfather_ walks up - HARRIS, Ziegler's _personal

assistant_.

HARRIS:

Excuse me, Doctor Harford. May I

trouble you for a moment?

BILL:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sure.

HARRIS (nods towards the door)

Could you spare a minute, please?

BILL:

What's up?

HARRIS:

Could you come with me, please?

GAYLE (laughs)

It's something for Me. Z.

BILL:

Okay.

GAYLE:

Come back soon.

The girls blow kisses. Bill smiles.

ALICE AND SZABO DANCING

SZABO:

Alice, you're a fascinating woman.

ALICE makes a can't-help-that face.

SZABO:

I'd really like to see you again.

ALICE:

I don't think that would really be a

good idea.

SZABO:

You _are_ cruel. What about lunch, later

this week?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BILL AND HARRIS - CORRIDORS AND STAIRCASE

Muffled sounds of the music echo from the ballroom below.

HARRIS stops in front of a large door and knocks quietly.

ZIEGLER (os)

Yes?

HARRIS:

It's Harris, sir.

After a few seconds the key is turned in the lock and the door slowly

opens revealing a barefoot ZIEGLER wearing only his pants and

undershirt.

ZIEGLER:

Thanks very much for coming up, Bill.

He gestures BILL in. HARRIS waits outside.

A strikingly beautiful, half-naked woman in her late twenties, is

sprawled face up, her clothing scattered on the floor.

BILL:

What happened?

ZIEGLER:

She OD'd on coke.

ZIEGLER gestures to the cocaine paraphernalia on the night table.

BILL (checking her pulse)

How long has she been like this?

ZIEGLER:

Maybe ten minutes?

BILL feels her carotid artery.

BILL:

Has this happened before?

ZIEGLER:

Not sure, but probably.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BILL turns her face to the light of a table lamp to check her pupils.

The woman stirs.

BILL:

She's starting to come around.

The woman makes a few unintelligible sounds.

BILL takes her wrist again and looks at his watch.

BILL:

Good...Well...I don't think there's

really anything to worry about. Coke

wears off in half an hour or so.

ZIEGLER is visibly relieved.

BILL continues to watch her in silence.

BILL:

Someone should stay with her, though,

until she's fully herself again.

ZIEGLER:

Okay.

BILL:

Some cold towels on her face

wouldn't be a bad idea.

ZIEGLER:

Okay.

BILL:

Anyone here with her to take her

home?

ZIEGLER:

I'll take care of that...She's a friend of

the family.

Bill nods and watches her for a few moments longer. The he makes

moves like he wants to go..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BILL:

She'll be all right, Victor. Okay if I

leave the rest to you?

ZIEGLER:

Sure... And listen, Bill, I don't know

how to thank you enough for this.

BILL:

It was nothing. Glad to be of help.

ZIEGLER:

And, Bill - I know I don't have to say

this but I trust this is just between the

two of us.

BILL:

Of course.

BALLROOM:

BILL re-enters the ballroom and looks around for the two models but

he doesn't see them.

Then... a woman's arm slips through his.

He looks down at the wedding-ringed hand.

It's ALICE.

She is flushed and glad to have found him.

ALICE:

Haven't I seen you someplace before?
