The Gazebo Page #3

Synopsis: Television writer and director Elliott Nash and his wife Nell have a happy marriage. One day a blackmailer informs Elliott that he has nude photos of his wife Nell, taken when she was only 18 years old. The blackmailer, a certain Dan Shelby, threatens to ruin Nell's reputation and her Broadway stage career if Elliott refuses to pay a ransom. Elliott agrees to pay the blackmailer but the demands increase and Elliott becomes a nervous wreck and a workaholic in his attempt to earn more money for the blackmailer. Elliott even considers selling his house in order to raise the 25 thousand dollars the blackmailer demands. Nell is unaware of the blackmail scheme and often worries about Elliott's state of mind. In desperation, Elliott decides to lure the blackmailer to Elliott's home for a large final payment and kill him. But Elliott is no killer and his planning for the imminent premeditated murder is amateurish at best.

What has come of the world. But who?

-I don't know.

Maybe one of your workers?

-I closed the hole again.

You closed it?

-Yes.

Why?

-Just because.

Which hole?

-The hole he made.

Where?

-In my own hole.

You can't have.

-Yes, and they left the shovel outside.

It'll rust. I'll return it.

-Give it to me.

No, no! We're not going to work now.

Goodnight, sir.

To the gazebo.

-What's that?

To the gazebo.

-It's really beautiful.

To our love.

-Yes, my darling.

Your husband's very happy.

That's because of the gazebo.

My birthday gift to him.

Even better than a tie.

It's a beautiful gazebo.

-They've got taste.

Did you remove the shower curtain?

-What?

The shower curtain. Did you remove it?

-No!

Where is it then?

-Ah, well...

What did you do with it?

-I gave it away.

You gave it away? To whom?

-To a poor person.

A poor person?

-Yes, he came by and... warm clothes...

Warm, and you gave him that?

-Yes.

It was raining and...

-Yes?

I said to myself...

-What did you say to yourself?

I said...

-What did you say?

He could get my coat,

but he was already gone.

What are you saying?

-To the gazebo!

Madam, madam!

-Yes.

The Spanish musicians are here.

That's great entertainment.

You'll see...

Say...

-Careful, damn.

What is it?

A gentleman's asking for you.

-What was that?

A gentleman's asking for you.

No, there, there...

Sir?

-Police inspector Ducros.

Get some champagne for the gentleman.

-No thanks, never when I'm on duty.

It's original, that gazebo.

It's from the Puy-de-Dme and

it's a gazebo.

Aha.

You wanted to talk to me?

-Yes.

Do you know Mr Jo?

Mr who?

-Jo.

Sorry... let me think...

Yes, no, Mr Jo... Thinking...

-Think well.

Let's have a drink.

-Is this your maid?

Yes, police inspector Ducros.

What's so funny?

-It's just like last night.

What happened?

-Nothing, she went to the cinema.

What did you see?

-Sir, shooting somebody.

You go on.

-Tell me...

Did you kill somebody?

-Yes.

Yes?

-Not really, I pretended.

I'm working on a detective story and

I often invite a friend.

He plays the bad guy, so

I can judge the play.

Mr Brisebard, you were right.

It's your shovel.

I have no shovel. What can I...

-It's yours.

I wanted to see you about the hole.

-Which hole?

There is no hole. This is

police inspector Ducros.

Mr Inspector, I don't know

who made this hole.

See? There is a hole.

-There is no hole. He's wrong.

They dance, they jump, no hole.

Look, how beautiful.

I drink to what's underneath.

-What's underneath?

There's nothing!

Yes, French soil!

Ah, long live France.

Long live France!

-Long live the gazebo!

Long live the Puy-de-Dme and

long live peace.
