Sabrina Page #2

Synopsis: While she was growing up, Sabrina Fairchild spent more time perched in a tree watching the Larrabee family than she ever did on solid ground. As the chauffeur's daughter on their lavish Long Island estate, Sabrina was invisible behind the branches, but she knew them all below... There is Maude Larrabee, the modern matriarch of the Larrabee Corporation; Linus Larrabee, the serious older son who expanded a successful family business into the world's largest communications company; and David, the handsome, fun-loving Larrabee, who was the center of Sabrina's world until she was shipped off to Paris. After two years on the staff of Vogue magazine, Sabrina has returned to the Larrabee estate but now she has blossomed into a beautiful and sophisticated woman. And she's standing in the way of a billion dollar deal.

Succeed, you'll get someone

of your own to torture.

But you've only been there

for two weeks.

I doubt every single person

in Paris thinks you're an idiot.

Only because

I haven't met them all.

Sabrina, you're being

much too hard on yourself.

Give it a chance.

Now what matters is

you're away from here--

experiencing new things...

getting another view of the world,

finding new friends.

And not constantly

thinking about you know who!

Morning, Tom.

She's fine.

She hasn't adjusted completely.

- She's miserable. I knew it.

- I told you not to send her.

Mr. Tom, maybe this not for me

to put my hands in this...

but when I first come

to this country, I am alone...

like Sabrina.

I just weigh more.

So, I ask to God,

""Why I am here?''

I say, ""Why, God?''

But there is no answer.

So I stop crying.

It takes 1 1 years!

Thank you, Rosa.

- Did she mention David?

-Just that life without him...

is a ""hopeless abyss

of misery and despair.''

I believe those were her words.

Raise your leg.

Yes. Ooh, yeah.

Have a drink with me.

- Fairchild.

- Good morning, sir.

Hey, Linus!

Got a minute?

David, does it

ever occur to you...

that you're an officer

of the Larrabee Corporation?

I met someone.

Do you recall the address of our

building? It's 389 Park Avenue.

- I'm not kidding.

- Your office is on the 48th floor.

- This is really somebody.

- So what's the problem?

I've invited her

for dinner here Friday...

and I don't want you

and Mother to--

This girl is smart.

She's really smart.

That certainly

hasn't come up before.

Listen, Linus,

she's a real woman.

- She's not a, you know--

- Transvestite?

She's not a bimbo.

She's a doctor.

- Pediatrician, actually.

- How did you meet her?

I was at this party, and the host's

kid got sick with something.

I rushed him over

to Lennox Hill Emergency...

and she was the resident on duty,

and we just hit it right off.

How'd the sick kid make out?

When you guys meet her,

just try to make me look good.

I know I look good,

but try to make me sound good.

Mention my accomplishments.

My qualities.

You can be creative.

Lie, okay?

She says her folks know you.

- What's her name?

- Elizabeth Tyson.

Tyson Electronics Tyson?

- Tyson I don't know Tyson.

- Here's a toughie.

Which one works for a living?

Wow, great hat, Mother.

Good morning, blue eyes.

Bring her around.

We'll try and make you look good.

You guys work Sundays now?

It's Wednesday, David.

Guess what.

David's taking out

Patrick Tyson's daughter.

- Well, well, well.

- Yes, sir?

Mack, give me Harvey.

Harvey, I want you to start

buying up chunks of Tyson stock.

Not so much that anybody
