The Libertine Page #3

The closet contains clothes also organized by shade and color.

Maurice takes out a pair of SLACKS and walks with them back

into the -

LIVING ROOM:

Where Maurice starts to put on the pants. He changes his

mind and drops them on the floor.

Maurice returns to the couch and opens his laptop. He taps

the top of the screen, and closes it again.

Maurice walks over to the SIDEBOARD and pours himself a

BRANDY.

INT. LIVING ROOM - LATER

The television shows a French channel covering a soccer match.

Maurice lies on the floor staring at the ceiling with his

feet on the couch. Next to him are a somewhat depleted BOTTLEof Brandy and his glass.

There's a KNOCK on the front door.

DAVE (O.S.)

Mr. Lunel-Caspi?

Maurice snaps out of his daze and stands as Dave enters.

DAVE (CONT'D)

The legal associate is here.

Maurice fixes his robe and hair.

MAURICE:

Send her in.

DAVE:

Don't you want to get dressed first?

MAURICE:

I'll consider it.

9.

Dave shakes his head and exits. Maurice sits on the arm of

the couch with his legs spread a little too wide.

BECKY, 25, pretty in a tight outfit that stretches the limitsof professional, strolls in.

MAURICE (CONT'D)

Welcome to the lonely castle.

BECKY:

That's quite an entrance you have.

MAURICE:

Don't worry about Dave. He's

harmless.

BECKY:

Maybe you could use some legal advice.

MAURICE:

Then, should we get down to business-

BECKY:

-Becky

MAURICE:

I prefer Rachel.

RACHEL A.K.A. BECKY

Whatever.

MAURICE:

Rachel, do you want to take off thatpretty outfit?

RACHEL:

Isn't he a cop?

MAURICE:

If you're worried about Dave-

Maurice reaches into his robe's pocket and pulls out a WADof HUNDREDS. He drops them on the table.

MAURICE (CONT'D)

-You could always do this pro-bono.

I believe that takes care of the

legality.

Rachel looks at the money.

MAURICE (CONT'D)

I put in extra for the added

circumstances.

10.

Rachel picks up the money and fans it. She drops the cashin her PURSE.

RACHEL:

Do I recognize you?

MAURICE:

Why don't you take off that prettyoutfit?

Rachel looks toward the front door nervously. She looks at

the master bedroom door.

RACHEL:

Is that the bedroom?

MAURICE:

No, it's this one.

Maurice leads Rachel into the

SECOND BEDROOM:

And sits on the edge of the bed. Rachel moves toward him.

MAURICE:

Stop. Stand back.

She does.

MAURICE (CONT'D)

Take off the left shoe first. Leave

your right shoe. Now your bracelet.

LATER:

Rachel awkwardly tosses aside her undershirt, leaving hertrying to balance in her bra and panties on one high heel.

MAURICE (CONT'D)

You may now take off your right shoe.

She does. She finds this creepy.
