Banners and streamers wishing Marie a happy birthday decorate the
grounds. Partygoers soak in the blazing Florida sun, sip at nonalcoholic
punch, and stare out gratefully across the thin stretch
of water that separates them from the riff-raff on the mainland...
Marie sits away from it all, lost in thought, as Jenny, in cutoffs
and a bikini top, sidles up beside her.
.
JENNY:
What's the matter, sweetie, pissed that
one judge only gave you a 9.7?
Marie forces a smile.
MARIE:
Nah. I'm cool.
JENNY:
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, babe.
You got diamonds on the mind.
JAY (O.S.)
Have either of you seen my video camera?
Marie looks round to her stepfather, shakes her head, bringing a
bemused look to Jay's face.
JAY:
I had it at the dive meet, I'm sure...
He shrugs, picks up a crystal glass, hits a fork sharply against
it, drawing the attention of the assembled partygoers...
JAY:
Ladies, Gentlemen, friends, raise a glass
to Marie, on her eighteenth birthday.
Everyone raises their fine crystal.
"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 11.
JAY:
She's become every inch of the woman her
Mother hoped she'd be. Wherever she is
now, Julie's looking down and smiling.
Tears well in Marie's eyes...
JAY:
And that's why, on your eighteenth
birthday, Marie, I know your mother
wanted you to have...
He notices, out of the corner of his eyes, two well-dressed MEN
standing at the entrance to his house. Whoever they are, Jay's
instantly unnerved. He stumbles over his words...
JAY:
... she wanted you to have... a wonderful
birthday party surrounded by all your
friends.
He glances back toward the house, watching the two men enter...
JAY:
Please excuse me.
... and hurries after them. Marie is left dumbfounded. So close,
but so far...
MARIE:
Jay! What about my present?
INT. CLIFFORD MANSION HALLWAY - DAY
Marie makes her way down the sleek white corridors inside the
opulent Clifford Mansion, past framed family photos, of Jay, Marie
and the late Julie...
MARIE:
Jay?
He's nowhere to be found. Frustrated, Marie finds herself alone in
the kitchen. She angrily selects a bottle of Champagne, pops the
cork. Before she can swig any alcohol she hears raised voices.
JAY (O.S.)
It simply can't be done...
Marie tentatively edges out of the kitchen, back into the hallway,
and down towards Jay's study...
"Wild Things 3" 03/22/2004 12.
JAY (O.S.) (CONT'D)
In all construction there's delays.
Marie sidles up to the door jam, peaks through the crack. What she
sees makes the blood run cold in her veins...
An imposing Cuban businessman, MR. BARAJAS, stands threateningly
over a visibly frightened Jay. Another man, CICATRIZ, dressed in
designer silks, stands menacingly in the corner, clearly the brawn
of this little operation.
