Eating Raoul Page #4

Synopsis: When a Paul enters his apartment to find Mary fighting off a swinger who has gotten into the wrong apartement (and thinks that Mary is just playing hard to get) he hits the man with a frying pan, killing him. Their dreams of running a small resturant seem to be in jeopardy until they decide to dispose of the body, keep the wallet, and to advertise for other sexually oriented visitors who are summarily killed, bagged, robbed and disposed of. This goes along quite well until one night a burglar named Raoul breaks in and cuts himself in for a piece of the action.

- Twenty thousand.

- In two weeks?

- Well, it's a great place.

It's gonna go pretty quick.

It's gonna get a taker.

I just hope it's you.

Look, I hate to eat and run. But I have

homework to catch up on at home.

So let me know about the place

as soon as you can.

- We will.

- You'll hear from us soon.

Oh, good. Okay, goodbye.

- Good night.

- Thanks for dinner.

- You're welcome.

- Good night. Bye.

Where are we gonna get $20,000?

Come on.

Help me take out the garbage.

You know, I was thinking about

going to the bank tomorrow for a loan.

- Well, what do you think?

- I guess it took him.

- I mean about the bank and the loan.

- What loan?

I was thinking about going to the bank

and getting a loan.

No bank is gonna loan us

any $20,000.

No, I know that.

But a bank might loan us 10,000.

And then we could sell

some of your wine collection.

- Sell some of my wine collection?

- Why not?

Mary, you know I've been saving

that wine for our restaurant.

But, honey, if we don't do something,

there's not gonna be any restaurant.

What if you just sold a few

of the most expensive bottles.

A few. Like, four?

- How about eight?

- Eight?

Well, okay, six.

How much would that bring us?

Six would bring us, I don't know,

about 500 a bottle.

That's $3000.

Paul, that would be such a help.

Yeah, 3000. Okay.

Paul and Mary Bland announce

the opening of their new restaurant.

Mary, if we call it

the Country Kitchen...

...can the specialty still be

the Bland enchilada?

I hope so. It's the best thing I do.

We have to find the money

for the restaurant first.

Isn't this man from New York rich?

He's staying at the Beverly Wilton.

He can't be broke.

Well, if he buys the wine,

and I get the loan from the bank...

...perhaps, maybe

we can swing this.

- Paul?

- Yeah.

- Where's my brush?

- Oh, it's in the bureau, honey.

- Paul?

- Yeah.

- What's this?

- What's what?

This card.

"Doris the Dominatrix. Discipline.

Mild or severe as you require.

Call for an appointment."

Oh, that. She's some madwoman

who attacks people with a whip.

She was at that swingers party.

- She gave you her card?

- She gave everybody her card.

That's disgusting.

Apparently, a lot of swingers

enjoy that sort of thing.

I don't mind a little hugging

and kissing.

But that...

Mary?

What do you think makes them go

for that weird stuff?

- Are they crazy?

- They're sick.

This world is overflowing

with millions of sexual freaks.

We're so lucky

to have found each other.

I know. Good night, dear.

Sweet dreams.

So how long will you be gone?

I don't know. As long as it takes

to apply for a loan.

You'll probably get it. That dress

sure shows off your collateral.
