Lady in Cement Page #4

What do you mean,

you're not sure?

Well, to tell you the truth, I got kind

of smashed early in the evening.

I have what you might call

a drinking problem.

I wouldn't have noticed.

"Oral compensation."

That's what I call it.

- What's your shrink call it?

- Just being a drunk.

You're a member of a large club.

I wonder how I would have turned out

if I hadn't inherited a fortune.

Well, I can think of a couple

of occupations.

- See, money does have its restrictions.

- Yeah.

You're broadening me, but I'm still

in the dark about Sandra Lomax.

If she was here last night,

who was she with?

You don't really expect me

to know the people I invite.

I don't expect you to tell me

anything you don't want to.

- And that robe is making me nervous.

- You don't like it?

You'd look good in a paper napkin,

but that wouldn't get me any answers.

I'm sorry. What do you say

I slip out of this bath mat.

It could all come back to me.

Mmm...

I'll only be a minute.

Oh, and if you need anything...

...there's a butler.

- It'd be more fun with a maid.

- I have one of those too.

[RINGING]

AUDREY:

One, two, one, two, one, two.

One, two, one, two, one, two.

MUNGAR:

Do you have to count?

- What's that make it, Paul?

- Dad, we don't have to play for money.

How can I be good

if I don't bet on myself?

Got to keep your eye on the ball.

AUDREY:
How can he keep his eye

on the ball?

All his life, he's been looking back

to see who's chasing him.

Hello?

Oh, hello, my dear.

You did right, sweetheart. Just don't

say nothing. We'll be right over.

Come on, Paul.

We got an appointment.

One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two.

One, two, one, two, one, two.

KIT:

Like it?

I like the real thing better.

- Anything come back to you?

- Hmm?

Last night.

Haven't I seen you around the track?

Yeah, I bounce in and out

of there once in a while.

- You a hunch player, like me?

- No, I lose my money scientifically.

[KNOCKING]

Excuse me. About last night, you were

asking me to refresh my memory.

There's someone who might help me.

MUNGAR:
Hi.

KIT:
Hi.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

MUNGAR:

Doesn't she look nice?

- Well, say it.

- She's beautiful.

It was well-advised to call,

my dear. Well-advised.

Is this the bum's been bothering you?

Well, Mr. Al Mungar,

pillar of the community.

This is my day for meeting

the upper crust.

First the shark, now the barracuda.

I'd be careful with that mouth of yours.

I could put my foot in it.

- You know Mr. Mungar?

- Like I know Bonnie and Clyde.

Well, this is his son, Paul.

Tony Rome.

- My son and business consultant.

- Which department? Blood banks?

You...

You and me are going for a little walk.
