Black Widow Page #2

Northwest Indians. Which tribes?

Coast Salish, for certain.

Whatever else you have.

Tlingit, Bella Coola, Kwakiutl.

My primary interest is in totem poles.

What are you,

cramming for a game show?

No, I'll take it. Thank you.

Come here. Come here, children.

Teachers, let's move them along.

Come this way.

One million dollars.

A very generous offer, Miss Dodd...

...but this museum does not sell

places on its board.

- Our chairman...

- Yes.

I'm sure Mr. McCorey will appreciate

my intentions. Good day.

But Margaret,

we want your views on this.

Now, I understand you had very

strong feelings about this collection.

Mr. McCorey...

...I didn't want my first meeting

to be one where l...

You disagreed with anybody.

I think it's a mistake to concentrate

so exclusively...

...on the Coast Salish in our acquisitions.

You want to be the best at something,

but that's not our role.

And what is, Margaret?

We need to compare all the tribes.

We study their art to learn about them.

We study them

to understand ourselves.

These the best pictures?

She doesn't want pictures.

She knows the camera's there.

She turns away.

The Texas one is different,

slimmer body.

- It's the way she's stand...

- She's younger.

- It's makeup, hair, attitude.

- I think you're wrong.

I could be right.

The whole m.o., a complex series

of seductions and murders...

...that's not something

you see a woman do.

Oh? Which part you figure a woman isn't

up to? The seduction or the murder?

Look, I just want the field assignment.

- Please?

- Listen...

...data analysis is the heart

of what we do here.

The best work in this shop

is yours. The best.

- It's a job you were born to do.

- It's a job with green windows!

Bruce, I've been in this office

for six years.

This goddamned government

office with green windows.

You want excitement. People

don't look to get it all from their job.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Jesus.

What do you think it means?

Having a date!

When was the last time you rolled in late

on a Monday because of a big weekend?

I really can't believe

you're saying this to me!

I have to listen to this sh*t

from my mother!

What the hell do you think

you are, Bruce?

Look, I just...

You're not happy.

You're not a happy person.

And you deserve to be, that's all.

Bruce, make me happy.

Even if you're right, it isn't federal.

Whatever you can't fit on the

weekends, make sure you call in sick.

Thanks.

She was destroyed by his death.

They were very devoted.

Catharine needed to get away,

and she went to Europe.

That was over a year ago.

Have you heard from her?

I had a postcard from Rome. I had

a lovely note from Vienna, a little gift.
