MYRTLE:
Susy, think on:
if he’s not well-off, what good is his kindness?
CLARA:
We all say that what we dream of is
love, but -- let’s admit it -- what
we really want is love and riches.
Every fine-dressed woman who walks
through that door, we long for what
she has. That’s why we come to work
in a department store.
SUSY:
Is it? I thought it was just a job.
CLARA:
You’re quiet, Denise. What do you
say about Mrs. Ballentine’s good
fortune?
DENISE:
I don’t envy our customers. I can’t
say I long to come into The
Paradise to shop and spend ...
CLARA:
Here we go ...
SUSY:
What do you want?
DENISE:
I dream of a world where a girl
doesn’t need to find a rich
husband.
CLARA starts the laughter at the absurdity of this, and the
OTHERS follow, including DENISE.
MYRTLE:
Oh, yes, and I am looking forward
to the day when a woman is Prime
Minister, and a woman is a priest
in the pulpit, and a woman is in
charge of The Paradise.
9 EXT. WALLED GARDEN. BELVILLE HOUSE - DAY 9
MORAY and KATHERINE sit on a bench in the secluded garden.
MORAY:
His proposal to send Denise to
Paris -- he could have discussed
that with me.

MORAY (CONT'D)
It is as if he is seeking to turn
KATHERINE is struggling: at times she has to close her eyes
tight shut just to stop herself from imploding.
MORAY (CONT’D)
If I try to speak to him about
these matters he brushes aside my
concerns. It is impossible for me
to run the store as I believe -
MORAY can see KATHERINE’s volatile state, but can’t fathom
it.
MORAY (CONT’D)
Perhaps you could encourage Tom to
see reason -
It’s too much:
KATHERINE can’t keep it in any more.MORAY (CONT’D)
Katherine, what is it?
KATHERINE:
Can you come back tomorrow? We will
speak then ...
She needs to be away ...
MORAY:
Of course ... Please tell me ...
KATHERINE:
God, help me ... God, please help
me ...
She sees MORAY’s pity and her terrors pour out of her.
KATHERINE (CONT’D)
He is capable of such cruelty. I
never imagined ... What have I
done? We married in such haste. I
hardly knew him. I live in terror
of upsetting him. I dare not speak
for fear of how he will react.
There are times I think he hates
me. He wishes only to punish me. I
cannot bear one more day ...
It’s too much, she is too vulnerable: MORAY is compelled to
hold her, to comfort her.
