The Last Seduction Page #3

Synopsis: Bridget Gregory has a lot going for her: she's beautiful, she's intelligent, she's married to a doctor. But all of this isn't enough, as her husband Clay finds out. After she persuaded him to sell medicinal cocaine to some drugdealers, she takes off with the money, almost a million dollars, and goes undercover in a mid-American smalltown. Because Clay has to pay off a loan shark who'll otherwise damage him severely, he keeps sending detectives after her, trying to retrieve the money. When Bridget meets Mike Swale, a naive local who is blinded by her beauty and directness, she devises an elaborate, almost diabolical scheme to get rid of Clay once and for all.

Nice trick.

I erm, I still have one concern.

I'll handle your records personally.

No-one else in the company will know you as Bridget Gregory.

So there's no way your husband can find you.

I appreciate it, Bob.

He actually beat you?

Savagely.

That's horrible.

Well. Have you decided what we'll be calling you?

Erm... Kroy. Wen-dy.

- Wendy Kroy.

- Good.

With a K.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey! What are you doing here?

- What are you doing here?

- I work here! What are you doing here?

- You don't know me.

I've been thinking about you all day.

I can't believe you're here. What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Look.

If I knew I was gonna be staying in this town

I would have had nothing to do with you.

Well I'm very flattered! Thank you.

As far as I'm concerned any sex we had was just a product

of your imagination. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Well I happen to have evidence to the contrary.

What kind of evidence?

The unrolled latex kind of evidence.

That's disgusting.

I work here now.

Don't f*** with my image!

- Frank. It's me. I took your advice.

- What advice?

I live here. I work here.

I signed a six-month contract.

You're gonna be there longer than that.

I'm an optimist.

Let me give you the address.

No! I don't wanna know where you are.

I'll tell you who does, though...

He's called three times since he got the paperwork.

Something about a loan shark and his thumb.

Anybody check you for a heartbeat lately?

So... What am I supposed to do?

Send him some cash.

Failing that?

Tell him to quit calling me.

I don't need this.

Alright, I'll call him.

Be careful - he might trace it.

He's not that clever.

- Whatever you say.

- Bye.

This is the operator. I have a person-to-person

call Bridget to Clay. Will you accept the charge?

Is this Bridget in Chicago or Bridget in Dallas?

Operator, disconnect this call.

Son of a b*tch.

Manhattan... Please... Thankyou.

Well, hello again!

Aren't there any other bars in this town?

Well it's very nice to see you too.

I've been looking all over for you.

Oh good.

It's strange though.

None of the other secretaries

seem to know who you are.

I'm not a secretary you rural neanderthal.

I'm...

Director of Lead Generation.

I'm just trying to get your attention.

That's good.

Don't move.

You're living here now or what?

- For the time being.

- Yeah? Where do I fit in?

Ah, you're my designated f***.

Designated f***?

Do they make cards for that?

What if I wanna be more than your designated f***?

I'll designate someone else.

Hey, How about us going out on

an actual date some time, you know?

Why?

Where you from?

A galaxy far, far away!

I'm just trying to decide whether

The film premiered as an HBO movie before going on shortly after to art house success. Actress Linda Fiorentino received notoriety for playing the movie's femme fatale, Bridget Gregory/Wendy Kroy, and Barancik was nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for best mystery/crime screenplay of 1994.Barancik received critical acclaim for his screenplay for The Last Seduction, James Berardinelli called his dialogue "scintillating, often hilarious, and occasionally insightful", while Variety said his development of the narrative "is very skillful and original". The Washington Post claimed it was "a viciously funny first screenplay" from Barancik, and Kim Newman of Empire called his screenplay "superb". Barancik worked steadily in the industry but with little to show for it until receiving shared screenplay credit for 2002's No Good Deed. He also received shared story credit for 2005's Domino. Barancik is also the founder and a regular performer in Monolog Cabin, a group featuring writers performing comedic personal essays, which performs at Club Congress in Tucson, Arizona.
