Secretary Page #3

I have repeated the sentence...

Are you sure

you wouldn't like some wine?

We make it homemade,

don't we, Stewart?

Try it, it's good.

- Would you like some, Lee?

No, thank you.

Not right now, Sylvia.

Peter taIks about you all the time.

He says he's found his soul mate.

Did you say that?

I did.

- Peter's sister Lindsey...

is getting married

this coming winter in Vegas.

Did you know Peter has

a very stable job at J. C. Penney?

They even gave him a cell phone.

- Perhaps it'II be a double wedding?

Mom...

Ms. Holloway.

Come into the library...

immediateIy.

'...the remarks made in print,...

in summation

of the events in regard...

to the Rubin Berkowitz libel.

Yours sincerely,' etc.

Okay.

The phone is ringing.

Answer it.

I'm sorry...

- Brr-ing!

Brr-ing!

Oh.

- Brr-rr--!

'Hello.

This is the office of...'

Listen... you're a big girl.

You can get a much bigger voice

out of that tiny throat of yours.

Tiny?

- Ms. Holloway,...

you told me when I hired you that

you were used to answering phones.

I am.

Did you get

enough sleep last night?

I...

- The phone is ringing.

'Hello...

this is the office

of Mr. E. Edward Grey.'

You see? You see?

That's showing a little spunk.

I'm not running a mortuary.

No.

Lee.

Mr. Grey...?

Come here.

Did you have a date recently?

Yes.

With whom did you have a date?

Peter.

- Peter.

Did you have sex?

No?

I don't know.

Are you shy?

I'm shy.

You're not shy.

You're a lawyer.

I'm shy.

I overcome my shyness...

in order to get things done.

I don't think you're shy.

Lee, I'm going

to be frank with you.

I know I'm your employer...

and we have

a proscribed relationship...

but you really should feel

free...

to discuss your

problems with me.

What's going on with

the sewing kit and the Band-Aids?

Lee...?

I feel...

Shy.

Do you want some hot chocolate?

Okay.

Why do you cut yourseIf, Lee?

I don't know.

Is it that sometimes the pain

inside has to come to the surface...

and when you see evidence

of the pain inside...

you finally know

you're really here?

Then when you watch the wound heal

it's comforting, isn't it?

I...

that's a way to put it.

I'm going to tell you something.

Are you ready to listen?

Yes.

- Are you listening?

You will never...

ever...

cut yourself again.

Do you understand?

Have I made that perfectly cIear?

You're over that now.

It's in the past.

Yes.

Never again.

Okay.

Now, you know what

I want you to do?

I want you to leave work early.

You're a big girl...

a grown woman,...

your mother doesn't need

to pick you up every day.

I want you

to take a nice walk home,...

in the fresh air,

because you require relief.
