The First Wives Club Page #4

Synopsis: After years of helping their hubbies climb the ladder of success, three wives have been dumped for newer, curvier models. But the trio is determined to turn their pain into gain. They come up with a cleverly devious plan to hit their exes where it really hurts - in the wallet! Sit back and watch the sparks fly as The Wives get mad, get even and get it all. Justice has seldom been so sweet. Or so much fun.

- I love that.

- My God.

- That was better.

- I'm sorry. Please don't tell Aaron.

- Time's up.

- Time to go. Do you feel better?

- Thank you.

He hasn't the guts to tell me he wants

a divorce. I have to hear it on TV.

- Elise, be cool. Be calm.

- I am!

- I saW that shoW. It was interesting.

- I don't want to hear it.

My client's and Miss Eliot's marriage

resulted in many successful films -

- including "Inner Urges",

"Human Instinct" -

- and "Animal Nature" in Which she

played a sensuous veterinarian.

- Thank you.

- My idea!

- Was not.

- Was too.

My client produced these films

Which enhanced Miss Eliot's career.

- Therefore, she is indebted to him.

- I produced these films!

You kneW nothing When I met you.

I taught you everything! What?

Those Were your best years, Elise.

Therefore, We request half of Miss

Eliot's assets and a monthly stipend.

He wants alimony?

As for the sculpture, art, Japanese

porcelain and objets d'art-

- collected during the marriage,

my client thinks it fair for Miss Eliot -

- to dispose of the items

and divide the proceeds evenly.

They Were anniversary presents -

- Xmas presents. I gave him

everything. NoW he wants more?!

NoW, Duarto, I ask you: Who's this

for? An anorexic teen? A fetus?

It's a conspiracy. I knoW it is. I've

had enough. I'm leading a protest.

I'm not buying any more clothes until

designers come to their senses.

Brenda worked for a

man named Duarto Feliz -

- one of the ten worst

interior decorators in New York.

I think his real name

was Duane Hemelwitz.

- It's electric. Look at this hideous...

- I can't afford it.

You've got to have it. Try it on.

You could sell a broach, your son...

Duarto...

- Morty! Look at you.

- Brenda, don't embarrass me.

Don't embarrass me.

Don't make a scene.

You've got nerve.

KnoW What's embarrassing?

Being hassled by Mr. ZaWorsky

because I'm behind in the rent.

That's embarrassing. Worrying about

hoW to pay for my kid's college.

You knoW What? You never listened.

20 years and you never listened.

Here! Try this on in the fitting

room. It looks very nice.

I could use this. It's very

beautiful. I love the color...

But What can I use for money?

HoW am I gonna pay for it?

The company is expanding. Not me!

I'm a mere laborer.

- You're a liar and a fraud.

- I have no money. I'm not rich.

- Why don't you look in your purse?

- Very funny.

- They're stunning, Morton. I want 'em.

- Morton?

- Oh, God, make it go away.

- Shelly, look at you.

- The bulimia has paid off.

- Don't start.

What's the matter, Morty?

Can't you buy her a Whole dress?

Why don't you try these on

in your size?

- It was a delight running into you.
