As always, your loving -- no, yourloyal son: John Paul Getty Two.

CUT TO:

INT. APARTMENT -- LIVING ROOM -- EVENING

MUSIC. Big Paul reaches into the fridge and pops the top ona can of Schlitz. Gail is making dinner on the stove. BigPaul slips his hands beneath her sweater to warm them.

GAIL:

God, your hands are cold! Stop, thekids are -- I'm serious, you -

Gail wriggles free and Big Paul dances her around theapartment to the BEACH BOYS' CHRISTMAS ALBUM as the childrenlook on. There's a tree with presents beneath it.

JOHN PAUL JR:

(singing along)

He's the man with all the toys ...

11.

Gail gazes up at him, starry-eyed: for this one moment, allis right with the world. The BUZZER rings.

GAIL:

That'll be Ms. Canzanelli telling usshe's calling the police.

(pressing the button)

We're so sorry about the noise -

INTERCOM (O.S.)

I have a car waiting for Mr. JohnPaul Getty the Second, if you please.

GAIL:

"The Second?"

Little Paul goes to the window.

PAUL:

Down in the street, look --

OUTSIDE, a ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM is idling in the street.

GAIL:

Oh my God, somebody died.

JOHN PAUL JR:

(realizing)

No, baby. We've been sent for.

INT. ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM -- EVENING

As "The Man With All The Toys" continues to play, the littlefamily rides in the back of the Rolls, along with theirhastily-packed bags. The kids exchange a look. Up aheadthey see it -

EXT. AIRSTRIP -- EVENING

A LEARJET 23 private plane idling on the runway. The Rolls

drives right up to the clamshell airstair.

INT. LIMOUSINE -- ROME -- NIGHT

Little Paul wakes up in the back of another limousine. The

other kids gaze amazedly out the window, their breath foggingthe glass. Reflected in the window is the Roman coliseum.

INT. HOTEL PALERMO -- NIGHT

A luxurious Roman hotel, with a mustached CONCIERGE waitingto receive them. A BELLMAN takes their bags.

CONCIERGE:

Signore Getty is awaiting you.

12.

INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR -- NIGHT

Parked outside the door is a room-service cart piled highwith dirty trays. A "NON DISTURBARE" sign hangs from thedoorknob. The Concierge KNOCKS gently. We PUSH into

INT. HOTEL SUITE -- NIGHT

A CLOTHESLINE is strung across the length of the room, fromwhich are suspended a line of MEN'S UNDERPANTS on clothespins.

Empty food containers and clothes are everywhere.

And everywhere there is art: paintings and artifacts proppedagainst the walls. Little Paul reaches into the mess and

pulls out a small statuette lying on the floor: it's aMINOTAUR carved out of marble.
