In the darkness WE HEAR Milly's voice.
MILLY (O.S.)
Did you read about that girl who
was murdered last night?
INT. STUDIO ABOVE NEWSAGENT'S - DAY
We are with Mark under the hood of an antiquated camera.
Through the ground-glass of the camera WE SEE a SMALL
INVERTED IMAGE of Milly.
MILLY (O.S.)
The same thing nearly happened to
me!
We hear Lorraine's voice - muffled, and very far away.
LORRAINE (O.S.)
When?
MILLY (O.S.)
Last night! I went out with my
boyfriend... We're getting married
next month... trouble was my fiance
saw us.
The SMALL INVERTED IMAGE of Milly peers anxiously into the
camera.
MILLY:
can you fix it so the bruises don't
show?
The ground-glass camera begins travelling slowly down
Milly's back.
CLOSE SHOT of Milly. She is on a couch, lying on her stomach
at a slightly oblique angle. All that WE CAN SEE are her
face and naked shoulders.
From Milly's POV WE SEE Mark under the hood of an antiquated
camera.
MILLY:
Well, can you?
Mark's voice is MUFFLED under the hood.
MARK:
...think so, Milly.
MILLY:
Then be quick about it, sonny! I'm
freezing.
CLOSE SHOT of her naked toes. They start to wriggle.
CLOSE SHOT of Mark's toes - in sandals, next to the tripod
of the camera. They start to wriggle.
CLOSE SHOT of Lorraine. We watch her in profile as she
stares out of the window - clutching her shawl. She has
outstandingly beautiful features.
CLOSE SHOT of Mark. He is standing by the side of the
camera, studying us thoughtfully. He is holding a remote-
control switch panel in his hand. He clicks off several
lights and then switches several others on... then he ducks
back under the hood.
MILLY:
There he goes again! What have you
got under there? A girlfriend?
We join Mark under the hood.
WE SEE a small INVERTED IMAGE of Milly on the ground-glass.
Her shoulders are now white and glistening, her spine
caressed by shadows. She is staring into the camera.
MILLY:
I suppose you have a girlfriend?
He adjusts the focus. We can see more clearly the contempt
on Milly's face.
MARK:
No, Milly.
MILLY:
Hear that, Lorraine? He's available.
From Milly's POV WE SEE Mark come round to the front of
the camera, and insert a dark slide.
MARK:
Raise your head, please - and look
at the sea.
MILLY (O.S.)
What sea?
Mark presses a rubber bulb - the shutter clicks.
MILLY:
What sea?
Mark inserts another dark slide.
MARK:
I just wanted that puzzled look.
MILLY (O.S.)
Oh, did you? Well if you want it
again, I'll think of you!
CAMERA PULLS BACK
from Milly's viewpoint, WE SEE Mark holding the rubber
bulb. cine-camera is on a ledge behind him.
MILLY:
You're a puzzle and a half.
Mark presses the rubber bulb - the shutters click.
MILLY:
This is a spare time job for you,
isn't it?
