You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger Page #7

Synopsis: Follows a pair of married couples, Alfie (Hopkins) and Helena (Jones), and their daughter Sally (Watts) and husband Roy (Brolin), as their passions, ambitions, and anxieties lead them into trouble and out of their minds. After Alfie leaves Helena to pursue his lost youth and a free-spirited call girl named Charmaine (Punch), Helena abandons rationality and surrenders her life to the loopy advice of a charlatan fortune teller. Unhappy in her marriage, Sally develops a crush on her handsome art gallery owner boss, Greg (Banderas), while Roy, a novelist nervously awaiting the response to his latest manuscript, becomes moonstruck over Dia (Pinto), a mystery woman who catches his gaze through a nearby window.

and it just, you know...

So that's...

So, how did you meet?

A mutual acquaintance introduced us.

That's how we met.

Yeah.

Here, Alfie was not being truthful.

Technically, maybe,

but that wasn't the whole story.

- Hello.

- Come in.

So, you're Charmiane.

- Charmaine.

- Charmiane.

Sorry. Come in.

Yeah, he said you were very pretty.

- My body's how I make my living, isn't it?

- Yes.

- I'm always working out.

- Good. Well, me, too.

Look, feel this.

- Not bad.

- You're buff, ain't you?

Yeah.

- Would you like a drink?

- Yeah. All right.

Good. Okay.

Geoffrey Sweeney gave me your number.

- Geoffrey?

- Yeah.

- Geoffrey...

- Yes.

- God, I know millions of Geoffreys.

- Oh, yeah? Well, doesn't matter.

You have to forgive me

if I seem a little awkward,

- but I don't usually do this sort of thing.

- Right.

I assume it's hygienic and all,

you know what I mean?

- Hygienic?

- Yeah.

- Are you having a laugh?

- No, I'm just checking.

I won't give you AIDS,

if that's what you mean.

No, I wasn't thinking about AIDS. God, no.

There's a man in my firm who's got herpes.

- No, relax, don't have to worry.

- All right. Yeah.

Basically, I'm an actress.

I'm just doing this part-time.

Good. You look pretty. Okay.

- Shall we settle the business?

- Oh, yeah. Okay.

- They told you it was 350, yeah?

- Yeah, okay.

Here's 500, and you can keep the change.

All right?

Oh, thank you.

I mean, you know,

I wasn't thinking about AIDS.

Oi.

- Shall we get on with it?

- What?

- Do you want to get on with it?

- Yeah.

Okay.

- Forty years is a long time to be married.

- Yeah, it's almost half a century.

What happened is that my wife, Helena,

she allowed herself to become old,

and I wasn't prepared

to accept that nonsense.

- No.

- Because you're as old as,

- or as young as you feel.

- Oh, definitely.

And I'm not prepared for the graveyard

or the scrap yard yet.

- Do you need any help?

- No.

I find older guys very sexy.

Well, we're experienced, and...

You know, we're not scrambling around

to make careers for ourselves

- and all that nonsense, and...

- Oh, yeah.

You know, we like to make a woman feel

appreciated and all the rest of it and...

You had a good time just now, didn't you,

when we were, you know, in bed?

- You heard me screaming.

- Yes.

Could I see you again, do you think,

charming Charmaine?

Yeah. I'll give you...

I'll give you a number.

You can get me directly.

- Okay.

- Oh, what is it?

So one tumble with this pro,

and the poor guy's in love.

He starts buying all her time.

And every time she screws him, he falls

deeper and deeper for the little mechanic.

Tell me, would you ever consider
