Guinevere Page #2

Synopsis: Connie, an aging Bohemian photographer, meets mousy Harper, headed for Harvard Law from a high-powered San Francisco family, and immediately sees her beauty. He also guesses she has talent and invites her to be his pupil and share his bed. He's Alfred Stieglitz, she's Georgia O'Keefe, and he calls her his Guinevere. When she realizes she's the latest Guinevere in a string of ingenues, she bolts, only to return, sick of her family. She's blossoming, reading, learning, but hasn't yet taken her first photograph when he tells her they're going to L.A., broke, him drinking too much, to sell some photographs. On the trip, she finally snaps the shutter; so does her awe and dependence.

- Do you really?

That's wonderful.

I ruined your pictures.

This'll wash off.

Don't worry about it.

You've actually improved this.

It's never looked better.

- Look at that. It's extraordinary!

- I'm really sorry.

That's great.

Look at Aunt Margaret.

What a cow.

I look incredible

there.

Hmm. That's odd.

Harper, you're -- you're not here.

In any of these.

Harper,you --

But you were there.

You were right there.

Wait a minute.

Check this out.

Oh, my.

Let me see.

Uh --

It's a nice picture.

But he didn't even get your name right.

Look on the back.

What was

his place like?

Uh, it was just

a place.

Mmm.

He told everyone he had the absolute

right to exclusively license...

the design

to their company.

- Of course he's clearly liable.

- I disagree.

The statute explicitly

requires intent to mislead.

Exactly.

Which you could easily prove.

Dad's right.

Really, Susan?

You agree with your father?

I'm shocked.

We're talking about the law.

There's objective truth here.

It's not about

choosing sides.

Thank you.

I stand corrected.

Where do you stand, Harper?

Don't bother her.

She's busy digging a hole in her bread.

- By the way, Harper,

you'll never fit in there.

- Well?

I really don't know.

- How does one get into Harvard

without having opinions?

- That's what they'll teach her.

- She'll come home

with plenty of opinions.

- I didn't.

I'm sorry,

darling?

I didn't get in.

I-I was wait-listed.

I thought I would clear the list.

Wow.

They said the list wasn't that long.

I thought that --

I-I thought that, um --

- I was sure --

I told my parents I didn't

really get into Harvard.

But I did get in.

I just told them I didn't.

I don't want to go.

I think that picture

you took of me is just...

shocking.

Okay.

Bye.

Would you

like to come in?

You can sleep here.

I usually print

at night.

Won't be using the bed

until morning.

If you want to shower when you wake up,

it's down the hall.

Thank you very much.

You're really nice.

There's loads of reading material here

if you can't sleep.

Do you know

who that is?

He changed art

in America.

That's

Georgia O'Keeffe.

When they met, he was already a famous

photographer. He was a revolutionary.

She was

about your age.

Knock on the darkroom door

if you need me.

So the whole time you were sleeping

in his bed he stayed downstairs?

- He stayed in the darkroom all night.

- Listen to you say "darkroom"!

- Sorry.

- And in the morning?

So then I came downstairs

and he made me eggs.

- Scrambled? I want details.

- Okay, Patty.

- He went to the fridge --

- Stop. Come on.

He made me an omelet.

Then he was telling me about Ireland,
