The Perfect Host Page #2

Synopsis: Injured after committing a bank robbery, John Taylor is desperate to find a place to hide out and approaches the home of Warick Wilson. John manages to get himself invited into the house by posing as a friend of a friend and spinning a sob story of lost luggage and a violent mugging. Inside, Warick, a consummate host, is making the final preparations for an impeccable dinner party. He insists John stay for the party, but as the evening begins it becomes obvious Warick may not be what he first appears.

Thank you.

Well, it's fixed.

Now, I need to prepare,

feel at home

no more wine in the kitchen

I'll go for a moment.

- John?

- Yes.

Tell me, I know what you and

Julia did in Sydney.

Do not forget any details.

Just hang out.

How did you meet?

For a mutual friend.

We met at a party

birthday.

- But they spent time together.

- If we did some traveling,

I wished I could spend more time

with it is a great girl.

Yes. Does she suggested that I

visited?

- If you thought that we'd get along well.

- Is typical of Julia.

- It's strange too.

- What?

I talked to her 2 days ago

and do not mention it.

Very strange, maybe I forgot.

It is unlikely, she always

tells me everything. It's weird.

Do not mention at all.

I hope you mention me

the next time they speak.

You're right, we will

call.

I'll get the phone.

Julia sure you do not realize that

we are both here.

I think it is 9 am

Sydney should be awake.

Guess what? I do

yoga on Wednesdays.

I do not know if he's there.

But not Wednesday.

It's Thursday morning there, right?

You're right. Van later

us.

It's Thursday.

Is ringing.

Answering machine.

Hi Jules, I am, I'm here

John.

Who greets you. He had a trip

nightmare.

I wish I had said was coming.

In preparation. Whatever.

I hope you are well, call me

when you can. Goodbye.

You should still be asleep.

I continue cooking.

Get comfortable.

My guests will not be long.

- Are you okay?

- Good.

- Where is your bathroom?

- Sure, here.

Down the hall, second door

to the left.

Thank you.

What? You're limping.

I had a sprained ankle

is still healing.

Oh, sprained ankle

This is not good, John.

Were you drunk, John?

Come on, admit it.

I have been giving

red wine tonight.

I am a man of white wine.

The red is hard on my body.

Too rustic.

In addition to stained teeth.

Have you been to Romania?

They drink much wine and all

have red teeth.

Or maybe eat much red meat,

I do not know but have red teeth

Those are the Romanians.

Magnificent.

Who's Coming to Dinner?

Only old friends.

What do they do?

One is an artist, journalist,

lawyer.

Will you advocate?

Yes. Roman.

It's brilliant

I say that should change

sides, start your own practice

make more money, but it will not.

Matter of principle.

Is a tax attorney?

God, no. He is a prosecutor. Work in

the District Attorney's Office.

Very talented.

You planned a dinner

very nice.

I ... I'm exhausted.

I think I'll go.

I am very tired.

My cousin should be in

home now.

No, do not be ridiculous.

I can not leave you helpless.

Oh no, I will not ruin your dinner.

I'm tired and I'm not that interesting

and guests will have.

No, sit, sit.

It will be an informal dinner.
