Point of Terror Page #3

Yeah.

Well, there's not that

much time left for me.

I've waited all my life.

They used to laugh at

me when I was a kid

'cause my old man

was a shoeshine boy.

While he was on his knees,

my mother was on her back.

I blew town when I was 14.

I worked at odd jobs until

I met this older woman.

She wanted somebody young.

How long did that last?

Till the next one.

Oh, Sally.

You don't know what it's

like wanting to be somebody.

That's what I want,

to be somebody.

It's all I've ever wanted.

And I'll do anything to get it.

Anything-

- I'm glad I don't want

anything that badly.

Well, it'll work out.

It's got to.

Your mother and father?

She died from an

occupational disease,

he drank himself to death.

They're better off.

You know, when I got my first

job singing, nobody laughed.

Nobody.

I was good.

From that time on, the only

thing that counted was my voice.

Weren't you ever in love?

Sally, you're the only

one I've ever been able

to open up to.

Well, at least I'm

good for something.

Baby, you're good

for a lot of things.

You take me like I am, huh?

No questions asked.

That's something, isn't it?

When I make it, baby,

I'm gonna buy you a kite made

out of hundred dollar bills.

With my luck,

the string will break.

No more talk, darling, huh?

Hey, come here.

Let's go for a swim.

Now, wait a minute,

wait a minute.

What do you mean that shipment

hasn't been sent out yet?

They were supposed to be

in New York two days ago.

I told Mrs. Hilliard about

it, did you check with her?

Well, why not?

What do you think I pay you for?

Look, you know it's

impossible for me

to come down to the office,

and I expect you to assume

leadership in my absence.

Mrs. Hilliard damn sure isn't.

I see.

Alright.

Alright, she's here at the

house now, I'll ask her.

I'll get back to you.

His name is Tony, Tony Trelos.

Andrea?

Andrea, I wanna talk

to you right away.

Right away.

Dirty b*tch.

Can he sing?

Oh, he's good.

Does he have a brother?

Seriously, chickie,

you better be careful.

You know Martin's

a very jealous man.

Martin's a wheelchair.

And who's fault is that?

His own.

If he hadn't been

so damn suspicious,

he never would have driven

that car off the road.

He expects me to be

a wet nurse to him.

I've got news for Martin,

I've got big news for him.

But he's given you so much.

I've earned every cent of it.

Look, honey, I'm on

your side, remember?

I'm just worried

he's gonna find out

about this little

affair you're having.

Fat chance.

I need some ice.

While you're up.

Wait till you see him, Fran.

He's special.

They all are, at first, honey.

No, I mean it.

He has big, wide eyes,
