ELDERLY GENTLEMAN
I, er... how much each?
MR. PETERS
Five shillings, sir.
ELDERLY GENTLEMAN
I'll take this one... and, er...
this one... and, er... how much
would the lot be?
MR. PETERS
To you - five pounds, sir...
The Elderly Gentleman hesitates. Mr. Peters turns over a
page... and the Elderly Gentleman almost turns over with
it.
MR. PETERS
Tell you what, sir. Four pounds
ten - and I'll throw in The Times
and Telegraph... how's that?
ELDERLY GENTLEMAN
Well, er... thank you very much.
MR. PETERS
Let me wrap it for you, sir.
He puts it in a wrapper which says 'Educational Books'.
MR. PETERS
Shall I put you on our mailing
list?
ELDERLY GENTLEMAN
Oh no! But I'll look in again...
MR. PETERS
By all means, sir.
He holds open the door for the Elderly Gentleman, and
watches him leave.
MR. PETERS
He won't be doing the crossword
tonight!
He turns triumphantly to Mark.
MR. PETERS
(counting out money
from wallet)
Those pictures he chose... were
all yours!
(handing notes)
This is yours!
Mark pockets them without counting them.
CLOSE SHOT of Mark.
MR. PETERS
(in a very different
tone)
And this is yours too...
He picks up a postcard - holds it towards Mark.
MR. PETERS
And that's what I want to talk to
you about. It's a clever picture -
because you're a clever lad...
but, Mark...
(pathetically)
It's all face.
Mark looks at the postcard in silence.
MR. PETERS
I don't want to hurt your feelings,
son - but if people want the Mona
Lisa they go to the National
Gallery.
MARK:
The Louvre.
MR. PETERS
Well, wherever they go, they don't
come here... so no more of this
fancy stuff...
He pats Mark's arm.
MR. PETERS
... now get upstairs - the girls
are waiting... and so is a bonus
if you give me what I want.
MARK:
Thank you, sir.
MR. PETERS
(amused)
What do you do with all your money?
MARK:
Buy cameras.
He opens a door at the far end of the room. We catch a
glimpse of a winding staircase. He starts to climb it.
INT. REAR OF NEWSAGENT'S SHOP - DAY
At the top of the staircase is a door. Mark and his camera
trudge towards it. The door opens suddenly. A vivacious
young redhead - Milly - pokes her head round. She has a
towel round her shoulders.
MILLY:
Well look who's here! Cecil Beaton!
From REVERSE ANGLE WE SEE Mark venture a shy smile at Milly.
Milly opens the door impatiently.
MILLY:
Come on, sonny... make us famous.
Through the half-open door we catch a glimpse of a second
Girl (LORRAINE). She is staring out of a window, her back
to camera. She is naked except for a shawl draped round
her shoulders.
Mark enters the room... the door begins to close. CAMERA
