Game 6 Page #2

The bedroom. A Lichtenstein, a Hockney, a silk-screen of

Joanna by Andy Warhol. A Jeff Koons piece. Nicky and Joanna

roll on the floor until they are halfway under the bed.

INT. HALLWAY

Muffled sounds from the bedroom. We track to:

The maid's room. The maid is smoking a cigarette and reading

New York magazine. The cover is partly obscured by her hand

but we can see a blurry black-and-white photo of a man

hurrying along a street with a newspaper over his face,

shielding himself from the camera. Over the photo, three

words visible:
THE PHANTOM WHO -- A second line of type is

too small to be legible.

INT. BEDROOM -- LATER

Nicky and Joanna are undressing after the fact, very slowly

and distractedly. Joanna stands by a chair near the window.

Nicky is on the other side of the bed and he alternates

between standing and sitting as he takes off his clothes.

JOANNA:

Last night. Alan Albright called me

a handsome woman. Second time he's

done that. Son of a b*tch.

NICKY:

I hear Alan's sick.

JOANNA:

Alan's very sick. He has to go to

New Mexico and sit in a lukewarm

solution.

NICKY:

You know about Adele.

JOANNA:

What about her?

NICKY:

She's dying.

JOANNA:

She died.

NICKY:

I talked to her two days ago.

JOANNA:

Apparently it didn't help. You know

about Peter, of course.

NICKY:

Our Peter?

JOANNA:

Peter Redmond. They found out why

he can't remember his lines.

There's something living in his

brain. A parasite he picked up in

Borneo, doing the movie.

NICKY:

Can he get through it?

JOANNA:

They're watching him closely.

There's a special rehearsal set for

this afternoon. To bolster his

confidence. And that's not all.

NICKY:

I've got bigger problems, Joanna.

Personal problems.

JOANNA:

That's not all, Nicky. I've been

backing your plays for fifteen

years. And I've never been more

depressed.

NICKY:

About what?
