Born to Be Bad Page #3

Stop acting as if china was a garden party.

I've always wanted to know

somebody who's been to china.

Tell me about it.

A lot of chinese

live there.

She's real pretty.

At least

i'm well-mannered.

Thanks, curtis.

Who is he?

The monster?

Nick bradley.

Friend of yours?

Well, donna

knew him first.

She discovered him.

He's an author.

Oh, her protege?

Oh, i didn't mean

that.

Ha ha! I know

you didn't.

Let me take that.

All those people...

all right.

Hello, senator.

Good evening,

curtis.

All those people are

very anxious to meet you.

I'll make it as painless

as possible.

This is your house?

Yes. Big, isn't it?

Donna should be

very happy here.

You know, they used to say about

me that my slip was showing-

my bank deposit slip.

Oh, that's

because they know

all the wonderful things you're doing-

charities, foundations, everything.

Uncle john's told me

all about you.

There's still an awful lot

of people without money

who expect me to apologize

for having it.

Ha ha! Well,

don't you do it.

Don't worry.

I never do.

You're very wise.

You know, i think

i'm going to like you.

Come on, let's go.

Hello, gobby. Tried to find

you during intermission.

I was being

trampled on.

What's

on your mind?

I want you to invest in something terrific.

I told you you'd

be beautiful.

Thank you, sir.

Invest in what?

In me, of course. I want

to have a one-man show

late this summer-

august maybe.

It will cost about $500, but what's money?

Mine or yours?

Yours, of course.

I have none.

Well, don't be

so smug about it.

Where are the herkimers?

My palm is itching.

Hello, uncle john.

Why, hello.

Hello, john.

This niece of yours

turns out to be a very

surprising young lady.

Quite surprising.

I'll be

right back.

I thought we decided that you

weren't coming until tomorrow.

I wanted to come

to the party.

Besides, it was much better for aunt clara.

Did you know she took a trip down

here today to arrange things for you?

I knew she came

to see the doctors.

Did you call her

and let her know?

I did it the first thing, uncle john.

Good.

John, this is

nick bradley.

Hello, mr. Caine.

I've been looking forward to seeing you.

Have you read it yet?

Not yet, but if donna

says it's a good book,

i'll certainly read it.

Put it on my desk

monday, will you?

You can take it home

with you tonight.

She's a tough critic. Had me

rewriting for months. I hated her.

Do you go around

hating everybody?

Do you two know

each other?

Oh, yes.

We're old friends.

Had a lot of laughs

together, haven't we?

Mr. Caine, i'd like you to

see a portrait i just painted.

I did mrs. Herkimer.

They're supposed to be here.
