Magnificent Obsession Page #5

I'm sorry, I can't ring her.

Yes, Mr Merrick?

- Is my bill ready?

- Yes, sir.

Mrs Phillips is in Dr Phillips' office

and she's asked me to hold her calls.

Thank you. I will give Mrs

Phillips your message.

Your bill, Mr Merrick.

You've answered so many questions that

have been puzzling me, Mr Randolph.

Several people in the last few days

have mentioned Wayne's way of life.

And when they talk about "using it all up",

I had no idea what they meant.

I'm so happy that

you could tell me.

You don't talk much

about this belief.

When someone's ready for

it, they accept it.

Perhaps Wayne felt you weren't ready...

or that you were pretty perfect without it.

Well, I must be going.

Wayne mentioned so many times how

anxious he was for me to meet you.

I'm sorry it was under

these circumstances.

I flew up from Mexico as soon as I heard.

I thought possibly I might be able to...

Make it a little easier for me?

Well, you have.

Thank you.

- We'll be seeing you very soon, I hope.

- Yes. I'll be back in my studio now.

Mrs Phillips,

I want to talk to you.

- I'm very busy.

- Oh, I was just leaving.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, and thank you.

You and I don't have

anything to talk about.

- I know how you feel about me.

- Please leave me alone.

Your husband was an

eminent surgeon.

Everybody's saying that a character like me

is still around while your husband is...

Here.

- And what is that supposed to do?

- Supposed to do?

Most people'd be

very glad to get it.

Will paying thousands help

you forget it happened?

It's all very simple to you... a cheque

can take care of anything, any time.

Most people would be very

happy to receive $25,000.

Was it my fault? I didn't ask

you for your resuscitator.

Smash up somebody's car,

write out a cheque.

Get in a mess with a showgirl,

write out a cheque.

And when a man dies, write out a cheque

to his widow... account paid in full.

- Listen...

- Leave me alone!

When you go to Mexico City,

you must hear Rosario.

His voice is just divine.

It does things for me.

Good for you. But he doesn't

sound like my type.

Pardon me.

It's one of the most beautiful

things I've ever seen.

- The owner must have spent a fortune.

- Good for him.

It's got all kinds of gadgets.

It's got... red-spoke wheels...

What did they do to

you in that joint?

I know your big trouble, honey.

You need Val to take care of you.

The principal

difficulty seems to be,

the anaesthetics you get in these bars are

never as effective as the customer hopes.

- What, honey?

- Good night, baby.

- How about a drink, Val?

- No, thank you.

- Don't you want to take me home?

- That's an interesting idea.

I'll call you.
