Guinevere Page #3

Synopsis: Connie, an aging Bohemian photographer, meets mousy Harper, headed for Harvard Law from a high-powered San Francisco family, and immediately sees her beauty. He also guesses she has talent and invites her to be his pupil and share his bed. He's Alfred Stieglitz, she's Georgia O'Keefe, and he calls her his Guinevere. When she realizes she's the latest Guinevere in a string of ingenues, she bolts, only to return, sick of her family. She's blossoming, reading, learning, but hasn't yet taken her first photograph when he tells her they're going to L.A., broke, him drinking too much, to sell some photographs. On the trip, she finally snaps the shutter; so does her awe and dependence.

which was amazing.

Ooh, Ireland.

Sexy.

- Patty, do you even know

what's going on over there?

- Yes!

- No, you don't.

- Shut up.

- It was amazing,

the things he was saying about it.

- And then?

- Then we talked about art.

- Art?

- Oh, God, it was --

it was truly horrifying.

- Oh, my God.

- I was such an idiot.

- I'm sure you were.

I'm sure you were

a total idiot.

What did you expect?

Of course I was totally socially inept.

- You know what a loser I am.

- Yes,you are.

This is it, the place he said

he'd be at if I felt like coming by.

He meets with his friends here

to discuss ethics or something.

You're kidding.

Look, that's him.

By the bar. By the bar.

- He's old!

- I told you!

But attractive,

in an ugly kind of way.

- Jesus.

- Oh, he wants to f*** you.

For sure.

- He's older than my dad.

- That doesn't mean anything.

- What makes you such an expert

on this topic?

- Uncle Greg.

Mmm.

I'm going in.

Hang on to your panties.

Call me.

Okay, so then, uh,

according to you, uh,

the photographer's

viewpoint here,

Mark Twain shouldn't have included,

uh, uh,Jim in Huckleberry Finn...

because Mark Twain was

a white man from the South.

Zack, we're not just talking about

the content of the story here.

We're talking about the relationship

of the artist to the art.

When a white man

starts telling a black's story --

A black woman's

story.

He's a capitalist

exploiting their product.

- "Product." Do you hear this sh*t?

- You didn't make it.

- So if you take it,

all you can do is sell it.

- Bullshit!

You don't see Maya Angelou sitting down

to write The Chosen, do you?

- Let her do it!

- You were right about lesbians, Zack.

- It's okay by me.

- Can't speak for the Chins,

but the Wongs are with you.

Hold it, hold it, hold it! Harper.

What do you think?

He's right.

You're right.

Of course he's right.

The Zack and Connie Show.

Always very entertaining.

- I'm Billie, by the way.

- Hi, I'm -- I'm Harper.

- Can I get you a drink?

- No, I'm okay. Thanks.

- So, how long have you

and Connie been together?

- Together?

- Aren't you --

- Aren't we together? No, no, no, no.

- Oh, you guys aren't --

- No. No.

He's way too old. I mean, not that

that should matter or anything.

- No, we're not together.

- Mm-hmm.

He built that loft himself.

Did you know that?

- Really.

- Billie.

## Billie ##

Um, look, um...

here's my number

if you ever need to talk or --

Need to talk about what?

Whatever.

- Bye, everyone.

- Good-bye.

- Bye.

You never ordered

a one-egg breakfast in your life.

You never ordered a one-egg breakfast.

Nobody ever orders a one-egg --

- You didn't tell me you have a book.
