The Last Seduction Page #4

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.

you're a total b*tch or not.

I'm a total f***ing b*tch!

I'm having more and more trouble with this, Wendy.

Don't worry - you'll get the hang of it.

I mean you're keeping me at arm's length all the time,

I'm starting to feel like some kind of a...

- Sex object?

- Yes, exactly - a sex object.

Live it up.

Why don't you just stay over?

Gotta get back.

Well then I could come over. That's fine.

My place, my space Mike. Don't get sticky.

What are you so scared of, huh?

What are you so scared of?

I don't know. I...

I guess it's because I've been hurt before.

I just... I don't wanna get close to anyone

right now.

You're different than the others Mike.

I feel like maybe I could love you.

I just... I don't want that to happen. Really.

Will that do?

F***ing doesn't have to be anything more than f***ing.

I'm... I'm not asking for love, alright?

Wise man.

We could talk. You could talk to me.

I'd like to talk!

So talk!

Who's listening!

There are things I'd like to know about you Wendy.

I like you.

I would like to know things about you.

Alright, look - you know my name.

Yes.

- I come from...

- New York City.

- How do you know that?

- My phone bill.

Sh*t.

Look, I like my privacy, OK?

- Let me in.

- No.

Please!

Then screw you!

Right. Tomorrow night. 8 O'clock.

I gotta get outta here.

It's me.

Bridget, so glad you called.

You know the phone booth down the block?

Get the number. I'll call you back.

But before you do that I think may...

I won't let you trace this Clay. Run!

Lay it on man, lay it on me! Come on!

You're beautiful.

Let it ring.

OK, here we go.

What's the number?

555-5163.

I'll call you right back. It'll be ringing.

You're on, Doc.

Bridge. Where are you?

You need to get back to New York.

It sounds quiet.

Yes. Why don't you come back?

All is forgiven Clay? I don't buy it.

- Give me the money back.

- It's mine. You hit me.

- I slapped you.

- It's mine.

Listen, forget about this 'possession is

90% of the law' crap.

The hundred grand that we borrowed is

a hundred and fifty now and the

private detective from upstairs

has a 50% contingency on the rest,

and he wants it very, very bad.

Alright, look. I'll pay off the shark,

throw 10 more to your private detective.

Give me a divorce, we'll be even.

You qualify, you're a b*tch!

Think Clay - it's the best you can hope for.

I thought you were...

Did you get anything? Anything at all?

Area code.

What city?

City?

She's in cow country.

- Frank Griffith's office.

- Is he there? It's Bridget.

- He's on another line.

- I don't care if he's on the other line. This is urgent.

I have other clients, Bridget.

I think he traced my call.

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.
