PINE (CONT’D)
Where’s Roper?
JED:
He left late last night for a
meeting in Geneva.
He hands her a drink.
PINE:
You want milk?
JED:
Just sugar.
PINE:
This wasn’t very sensible of you.
Beat.
JED:
I’m sorry if my recklessness upsets
you.
A challenge. PINE gives her sugar, flicks a look out the
window. Beat. She sips her coffee.
JED (CONT’D)
So. Andrew. You’re joining the
Roper ship are you?
PINE:
Maybe.
A challenge.
JED:
It’s funny. I thought you were
trying to sink it.
PINE:
JED:
Why else would you break into his
study?
PINE:
Same reason you did. I’m just keen
to find out who the man is who’s
employing me.
JED:
I’m not employed by anyone.
PINE:
Aren’t you?
JED:
We’re in a relationship Andrew.
PINE:
Business or pleasure.
JED:
Love.
He smiles.
JED (CONT’D)
PINE:
If it’s love. Shouldn’t it be
honest?
JED:
What the hell are you talking
about?
PINE flicks the camera until it shows the small boy he took
the photo of from Jed’s drawer.
JED (CONT’D)
Where d’you get this?
PINE:
I found it in your room. In a
drawer.
She stares at it. Then slaps PINE hard.
JED:
It wasn’t in just any drawer was
it?
PINE:
Is he your son?
JED:
None of your business.
PINE:
Who were you talking to on the
phone that afternoon?
JED:
Quite the detective aren’t you?
She stares at the photo.
JED (CONT’D)
Desmoines. She looks after him.
PINE:
Why did you leave?
She speaks coolly. No self-pity.
JED:
Because I was seventeen years old
and not exactly made out for
motherhood. That’s why.
PINE:
Who’s the father?
JED:
Does it matter? My sister had a kid
already, her husband’s a decent
guy, he’s not going to win prizes
for Mr Interesting but on the plus
side he doesn’t do meth for
breakfast so it was the right
decision.
PINE:
Does Roper know?
JED:
No. And he mustn’t.
PINE:
Why?
JED:
Because that’s not what he bought
on the upper east side. I’m a
firework across his night sky, not
some pitiful train wreck with a
secret. I dazzle, I don’t droop.
That’s how I survive. And just in
case you get the wrong idea, I like
it like that. I like to live fast,
I like rich clothes against my body
and lotions on my skin. And I
really like Richard Roper in my
bed.
PINE:
Then why are you here?
Beat. She speaks quietly.
JED:
You know what. I have no idea.
She gets up. He takes her arm hard.
PINE:
