JAY:
Nice take off, gotta work on the
landing...
MARIE:
I can't do any better...
Jay shakes a finger at her, silences her immediately.
JAY:
No such word as 'can't. Now do it again.
Only better...
Marie takes a deep breath, approaches the ladder once more. As
she's about to start the arduous climb, Elena hands her a towel...
ELENA:
Bet you choke.
Stops Marie in her tracks.
MARIE:
What's your major malfunction?
ELENA:
Just wanted to make a wager. Between best
friends.
"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 9.
Marie just starts to climb the ladder to the high dive platform.
ELENA:
You blow this dive, I get those diamonds
of yours.
Marie stops, looks down on Elena from the fifth rung of the
ladder, shakes her head...
MARIE:
How'd you know about my inheritance?
ELENA:
Talk of the town, birthday girl. Today's
the day, right?
MARIE:
And what, pray tell, are you willing to
wager when I win?
Elena thinks for a second, glances back at Jay with a big smile.
ELENA:
I'll stay away from your stepfather. You
make it, I won't be your new stepmom
anytime soon. Whattya say?
Marie just stands there incredulous for a moment.
.
MARIE:
Take your sorry ass back to the swamps.
She ascends the ladder, leaving Elena behind...
ELENA:
Choke!
Marie clambers up onto the high dive platform, tries to focus on
the task at hand. But can't help but notice her nemesis below,
walking slowly, seductively, up to Jay, intoxicating him...
Marie blocks out the distraction, concentrates at the task at
hand, stepping to the edge of the platform and the 20 foot drop
looming beyond...
She slides a ring off her finger, kisses it for luck. It's an odd
design. Four curved gold ridges, just ready to hold a Diamond...
She throws the ring into the pool ahead of her, the gold glinting
in the afternoon sunlight as it drops into the water, and a split
second before it breaks the surface, Marie is airborne...
"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 10.
She twists magnificently through the air, a sight of breathtaking
beauty. Thank God this is in slow motion.
And as she gets ever closer to the water's surface, she tucks,
does one last back flip, straightening out at the last possible
instant, slicing through the water with nary a splash.
Marie surfaces to roaring APPLAUSE. Treading water, she can't help
but watch her Jay's smiling face in the bleachers...
EXT. CLIFFORD MANSION - AFTERNOON
Sickeningly expensive POWERBOATS and de-rigged SCHOONERS line the
inlet leading to the verdant lawns of the Clifford Mansion...
