He leaves. Leopold stares into the mirror, snaps his fingers.
The valet hands him a glass and pours a small shot of brandy.
Leopold shoots him a look. The valet fills the glass higher.
Leopold drains the glass and heads to the doorway. He
hesitates, taking a deep breath and a long pause. Finally...
THE VALET:
(grandly)
Go spread joy.
Without looking back, Leopold leaves the room.
INT. BALLROOM - NIGHT
Music fills the air as the creme de la creme of Victorian
society gather inside. Leopold holds a prearranged dance
card. He looks at the names and finds his first partner is
MISS TREE. Leopold looks upward helplessly at an unrelenting
God.
INT. BALLROOM DANCE FLOOR - NIGHT
A profoundly self-conscious Leopold dances energetically
into frame with MISS TREE, an ancient, elfin, yet amazingly
SPRY woman who gapes up at him searchingly, unblinking.
Leopold opens his mouth to speak, can think of nothing
suitable to say, and clamps his mouth shut. They dance out
of frame.
INT. BALLROOM DANCE FLOOR - NIGHT
Leopold dances into frame with CLARA, a BEAUTIFUL girl of
19. He glances at her and smiles. She titters, turning away
shyly. They whirl around the dance floor. His smile grows
into a broad grin. Caught up in the excitement, Clara beams
up at him... happily revealing a mouth full of missing, inky
teeth.
Leopold, face frozen in a formal smile, dances on.
INT. BALLROOM DANCE FLOOR - NIGHT
Leopold lumbers into frame with MISS FAIRCHILD, a woman of
immense girth. With great dignity and extreme difficulty he
maneuvers her around the floor, looking everywhere except
her enormous bosom.
LEOPOLD:
You dance like an angel, Miss
Fairchild. You light up the room. I
thank you.
Miss Fairchild curtseys heavily. Leopold glances at his card,
sees the name Miss Serena Clacket and shudders.
He spots a VERY LOVELY WOMAN hidden amongst the guests. She
scribbles in a small note pad, occasionally glancing around.
Hiding his dance card, he saunters over.
LEOPOLD:
Good evening. I do not believe I
have had the pleasure.
The young woman stares vacantly at Leopold until she realizes
he is addressing her. She puts her pad away.
CARLSON:
...Julia Carlson.
Leopold takes her hand and kisses it gently.
CARLSON:
I'm sorry. Will you excuse me?
LEOPOLD:
(slightly tipsy)
You are not from the area, are you?
CARLSON:
(smiles and shakes
her head "No")
Are you?
LEOPOLD:
This is my estate.
CARLSON:
Really?
(looking around the
room)
Well it's not home but it's much...
Leopold regards her curiously. The orchestra starts up. There
