Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Page #3

of a lawyer.

See there, behind the bar, the man

with the benign Germanic countenance?

Could that be

another face of Martin Bormann?

I've been to parties where they danced

to records by Strawberry Alarm Clock.

But this is the first time The Strawberry

Alarm Clock's ever been to the party.

What are you shelling out?

I hear the minimum is four thou.

- I get them for free. They're mine.

- Wow. Really?

Here, have some grass.

Aunt Susan won't see you.

No, thanks, man. In a scene like this,

you get a contact high!

This is my happening

and it freaks me out!

It's a stone gas, man.

Pray, we must make haste.

My time is not my own.

Before the clock strikes 12,

I must be back at Forest Lawn.

Come. I know of a cozy,

little dungeon...

...where just the two of us can curl up

with the chains and a spider.

Delighted to see my hostages

in such happy dalliance.

Pray, let them joust in peace.

You're not helping the situation any,

I must say.

Out. Out. Count Dracula relishes

an audience, only one at a time.

- Have fun.

- What is this, a studio tour?

- This looks like the...

- Master's bedroom.

Can you dig it?

Follow me, my dear.

Let me show you

one of my preoccupations.

And this is the master's bath.

Come on.

- Sorry to disturb you.

- It's cool, baby.

Hey, I've heard about trees growing

in Brooklyn, but ferns in the biffy?

- Class.

- The idea came to me in a vision.

- Every morning, I luxuriate in my bath.

- I dig, man. You're on an ego trip.

But what about the ferns?

Let's call them tropical varieties.

They thrive on the humidity...

...and they never let me forget

that all Los Angeles is a jungle.

Hello. You must be Kelly's friends.

I'm Vanessa.

- Susan, Kelly's friends have arrived.

- We've heard so much about you.

- I'm Susan Lake, Kelly's aunt.

- Hi, Miss Lake. This is Pet...

...and Casey. And I'm Harris.

- Has anyone here seen Kelly?

- I saw her a minute ago with Ronnie.

- May I lead an expedition to the bar?

- No, thanks. I'll take a rain check.

How about you two?

Excuse me.

- You don't drink?

- Later.

Yeah, later.

- Vodka gimlets.

- Thank you.

I guess liquor's considered

kind of square these days.

Same as grass.

It depends on how you use it.

Would you like to meet

some of the more interesting specimens?

Why not?

- Casey?

- I'll stay here. Go on.

- Quite a blast.

- Quite.

I make it a point never to miss one

of Ronnie's parties. Better than the zoo.

Putting people down

for having a good time?

On the contrary, my dear. But this is

hardly my idea of a civilized good time.

Casey Anderson, huh?

No relation to Senator Casey Anderson?

He's my father.

I'll bet he's highly amused
