The Last Seduction Page #5

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.

I'm outta here.

Ah, just relax.

How long were you on the phone?

- 45 seconds, maybe less.

- Yeah, well that's not enough time.

It's enough time to pinpoint the region.

Area code maybe.

- Yeah, well time for a new area code.

- Well, most fugitives are caught on the run Bridge.

Frank, don't do this to me.

There are 10 million phone numbers per

area code. You got an alias?

Well then just relax.

Are you sure?

Yeah, and look, if you're nervous

about staying alone - don't.

- I hope you're right.

- Bye.

Wendy, I'm sorry

I walked in on you in the bathroom, I really am.

What you walking so fast for?

A woman loses 50% of her authority when

people find out who she's sleeping with.

- That's a crock.

- It's a university study.

Great. Listen. This place is not like that OK.

Around here we're not like that.

Time to shut up!

Get your hands off me!

What's your problem, Mister?

What is this - the corporate dark ages?

Did you see that?

What are you saying?

I'm saying I don't have anything more to go on.

Damn.

Hey. That's my retail business.

Like I got a choice.

I don't like being around this.

- Who is it?

- I'm here to see the Doctor.

Nice place.

What can I do for you?

I need to lose some weight.

I mean, gotta go on a diet.

Well, ThinFast.

ThinFast.

- What about it?

- You tried it, you a**hole!

Oh, right. Didn't work.

I think you'll like this.

Charming business.

Hey, it's just trying to keep up with the interest.

Now, you were saying?

I got no more to go on.

What - you aren't quittin' on me are you?

Well you're not payin' my expenses. I can't afford

to go around half the state carrying her picture, man.

The name Bridget Gregory is ringin'

no bells up there.

- Maybe she changed her name.

- Maybe definitely.

Unless you figure out what she changed it to

we got nothin'.

She wants back here. She wants it bad.

She probably is back here.

Now why don't you tell your friends to watch out for her?

If you find her, I'd be glad to separate

her from the cash.

Hey man, you've been big.

You really want to stop it with that.

Harlan!

Wendy Kroy.

It's her name

It's the one she's using now.

You're flailing, man.

No, no, no. I know her.

She's got this crazy talent

where she can write backwards.

New York. Backwards.

The city.

It's all she's thinking about.

Wendy Kroy, Wendy Kroy.

You are beautiful.

- I got your note.

- 5 days ago.

- Apology appreciated.

- Apology expired.

A woman has to protect her standing at

the office. You know that.

Look, I was wrong to touch you but you were

wrong to send me to the gas chamber.

So, maybe I over-reacted a little bit.

You... wanna see my new place?

On your back.

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.
