Deathtrap Page #3

you'd gone blank with boredom

The other night at nan's.

They never stopped

talking about it.

Helga ten dorp, she's taking

the prisky cottage for 6 months.

Paul wyman's

representing her.

A big book

and u.S. Promotion.

My god, darling, paul

was impersonating her

For 20 minutes

the other night.

Oh, is that

what he was doing?

I thought he was finally

coming out of the closet.

Ha ha ha ha.

Anyway,

about miss ten dorp,

I don't think paul's agency

would handle her, darling,

If she weren't genuine.

Oh, listen, nan and tom had her

over for dinner last week.

She told tom

all about his backaches,

All about the money

he lost in silver futures,

And all about his father's

thing for tall women.

Oh, and she found

a set of keys

That nan lost in 1969,

darling.

They were right there

under the clothes dryer.

You know,

right this minute,

She's probably down

there with her radar

Picking up your blips.

My word.

That does

give one pause.

She's really fantastic.

The european police

Believe implicitly

in her, darling.

That's half

of why she's here.

She's supposed

to be resting up

From pointing

at murderers.

Is the larder

up to another pot of tea?

Hmm.

Look, the same

bloody key ring

From both millie

and tom.

[Laughing]

Darling, you know,

i really do think

That you should call

mr. Anderson.

Wait a minute.

The fat one didn't

stay the full week,

And his name was quen--

Quincy?

Something beginning

with a "q."

Anderson. Anderson.

I wonder if anderson was

the one with the stammer.

[Laughing]

My god, they all seemed

so dim and underdone.

Would you

listen to me?

Did you hear

what i said?

I think you should

call mr. Anderson.

You have not got

a thing to lose.

Myra.

What?

Have i gone through

everything?

Yours and mine?

Is that why you want me

to phone this guy?

No, darling,

it's not the money.

I'm ok, which means

you're ok, dopey.

Darling,

you're a writer.

All writers go through

periods like this.

All you need

is a change of pace.

Anything.

A collaboration.

To work with

someone young.

Younger.

Don't you see?

By teaching

mr. Anderson,

You'll get yourself

started again.

Darling, really,

I think it is a god-Sent

opportunity.

I really do.

Call him.

The mace

would be quicker.

Oh, sidney, be serious.

Sidney, what's

the matter with you?

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god. You did have

a bad night, didn't you?

[Laughs]

I think that you're thinking

that after last night

You actually would kill

to have another hit play.

Do you know what this play

would net its author

In today's market?

Between

$3 and $5 million.

And that is without

the deathtrap t-Shirts.

Now, if that isn't a thinking
