The Deep Blue Sea Page #3

---

Just steak and a

bottle of claret.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I can't say any more, can I?

No...

...you can't.

- Do you still love me?

- Yes.

Yes.

I still love you.

I need a cigarette.

Oh, Freddie, give that to me.

It's addressed to me.

I beg you not to read it.

It's addressed to me.

Forgive me.

Freddie.

Freddie!

Freddie!

William?

How did you know I was here?

Your landlady telephoned me.

I'm sorry but I was

worried about you.

I see.

Tell her to go.

It's all right, Mrs. Elton.

Thank you.

How did she find you?

I'm still in the

telephone directory.

I assume she used

her initiative.

I'm flattered you came.

Don't be.

My motives were

entirely selfish.

I was hoping to gloat.

Are you all right?

You ought to be in bed.

Let me look at you.

Tongue.

You should live to a

ripe old age.

- Are you her doctor?

- No.

What are you, then?

Shall we just say that he

is a philanthropist.

A little more respect might

not come amiss.

I give my respect to those

who've earned it.

To everyone else, I'm civil.

I take it he's not a qualified

medical practitioner?

You take it quite correctly.

So what happened?

I must be careful what I say.

Attempted suicide is a crime,

isn't it?

Yes.

And I am speaking to a judge.

You're speaking to your husband.

Why didn't you let me know you

were back in London?

The last time I saw you,

you said never wanted to

hear from me again.

The last time I saw you I

didn't know what I was saying.

Has he deserted you?

No, he just got back from

Sunningdale.

Do you still play?

I don't go to Sunningdale

any more.

You used to love golf.

What do you do for exercise?

I play tennis with David,

occasionally.

Has he become very pompous since

being made solicitor general?

All solicitors general

are pompous.

Helps their game.

Is he being unfaithful to you?

No.

He still loves you?

As much as he did 10 months ago.

And you still love him?

Yes, William, I still love him.

Is it money?

Sit down, bill.

It's nice to see you again.

I'm glad you still wear it.

Yes.

As yet I've taken no steps

so you can have the

divorce if you still want it.

That's generous of you, bill.

Can I do anything to help?

No.

Well -

- at least I've found

you again.

- Did you look very hard?

- No.

I rather foolishly thought

that my indifference

would hurt your vanity.

Did you really try to

kill yourself?

Whilst the balance of my

mind was disturbed.

Isn't that the legal phrase?

Yes, and what disturbed

that balance?

Anger, hatred, shame.

Of myself.

Of being alive.

- Are you still angry?

- At Page?

- At both of us.

- Yes.

He betrayed my friendship.

You betrayed my trust.
