You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger Page #6

that you will meet the same tall,

dark stranger that we all eventually meet.

And look where that cynicism has got you

over the years.

Cristal knows things

she couldn't possibly know

if she wasn't blessed with a gift.

Look, did it ever occur to you

that she might be getting her information

from your masseuse?

I mean, not to mention

what you give away without realizing it...

- Roy!

- What?

She tells her what she wants to hear

and takes her money.

Well, you take my money

and certainly don't tell me

what I want to hear.

Why can you two not be together

without tension?

I'm just trying to prepare

your husband for a blow

should his work be rejected.

Well, my work will not be rejected.

And if it is, this hustler you see

made a 50-50 guess.

You see how that works?

Mum?

Please, just give him a break.

He's vulnerable right now.

Hasn't a spiritual bone in his body.

How can he write books?

So, Cristal said you're gonna meet someone.

Isn't that good news?

She also said that

you're perfectly able to conceive.

Well, of course I am,

and you know that, too.

Well, I couldn't after your brother died.

I mean, the doctor said

it was psychological, but...

I couldn't give Alfie another child,

and he longed for a son.

Please, let's not relive

everything constantly.

Anyway, look, we must go.

There they are.

Hello.

- This is Sally and this is Roy.

- Hello. All right?

- Hey, how are you?

- Charmaine Foxx.

- From America.

- Yeah.

You didn't tell me. Never tells me nothing.

Hello.

Don't want to flash everyone now. No.

- Well.

- So...

Dad said you were an actress.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

I tried it in Hollywood for a while,

but if you don't know people, it...

It's like a vicious circle, you know?

Yeah.

So, what are your plans?

I think...

Well, her plans are, you know,

to be my wife, Mrs. Alfie Shepridge.

She's going to be the mother of my son.

The boy...

One day I'll teach him football,

or something like that. Isn't that right?

Anyway, she... You were in...

- She was in a few movies, films, on TV.

- Stop it.

- But you were.

- Just small parts.

- What were the films?

- Science fiction.

I was the leader's daughter,

but from another galaxy.

That's right up your street, Roy.

Roy is a doctor.

Well, actually, he wrote a novel

about a physicist,

- based on Werner Heisenberg, isn't it?

- Yeah.

Who?

So, how long have you known each other?

- Three months. No...

- No.

- Two months.

- Two months. Yeah.

So, you've actually just met.

Well, we've spent every day together

since we did meet.

- And can you blame me?

- We have. Yeah.

I mean, I was besotted with

charming Charmaine from the very first day
