"The rest of the message from David." "Thanks." "I needed that." " What am I doing?" "I..." " No, I apologise." "No, I should never..." "You have my handprint on your face." "Maybe it's better if you pick up your messages in person." "You'II see David tomorrow." "Good night." "Mack, I'm staying out here for two days." "cancel whatever I've got and reschedule." "Have the plane stand by from 9am tomorrow morning and set up the Vineyard cottage." "I don't know." "flowers, candles, singers... (Man) wonderful party." "call David's secretary, it's all she ever does." "(Woman) Linus." "Why not?" "well, hell, I'm up, you're up." "You weren't?" "well, call her anyway." "Thank you for coming." "Good to see you." "Good night." "(Dog yaps)" "Jesus." "Dog..." "Frank, I..." "What is it, an epidemic of sleeping sickness?" "OK, listen." "Er, David can't stand pain, so give him a combination of morphine..." "I don't..." "OK, not morphine but something strong and mixed with a sleeping tablet, Iike HaIcion." "They haven't proved that, Frank." "We have no idea." "Maude thinks they were left on the chair by some guest." "He is not going to sue his own mother." "well, he's not me!" " You're not going to work that way?" " could you give us a moment?" "Sure, Mr Larrabee." "Did Tyson say anything after I Ieft last night?" "He wondered where everybody had gone." " Maybe I should talk to Sabrina." " And say what?" ""Sabrina, you're very lovely" ""but David has a short attention span." "He's just jerking your chain."" "Can I say that to a woman, "jerking your chain"?" " When will elizabeth back?" " Thursday." "should she come sooner?" "I don't want him breaking off the engagement." "This whole thing happened in 24 hours." "I can make it unhappen in 48." "I Iike Sabrina, I always have, but I won't kiss off a billion dollars." "I don't care what she did to her hair." " Good morning." " Morning." " I'II take you up to see David." " Thank you." "(Snoring)" "(Sabrina) David?" "David?" "Can he hear me?" "David!" "Sabrina!" " Hi." " Hi." "Did the dry cleaners have your car?" " How do you feel?" " I didn't get there." "Did I?" " Are you in a Iot of pain?" " Am I in a Iot of pain?" "Look at your little hand." " Guess what happened to me." " I know, I know." "I feel awful." "Me, too." "How do you feel, Linus?" "FaIIing a little behind here, David." "Do you want me to stay with you?" "Listen, we got you a terrific nurse and a two-day supply of red JeII-O." "He really should rest." " Isn't Mr Linus going in?" " He has other work today." "Very good, Madam." "I'm sure he'II be more responsive next time." "Don't worry." "See you." "Thank you." "Er, you know..." "I was wondering." "We have this summer cottage on the Vineyard we never use any more." "I want to put it on the market." "I was going to have a few pictures taken." "The kind that make it look bigger than it is." "Uh-huh." "I understand you have an interest in photography." "I thought you could take them." "The trip would be no trouble." "helicopter could pick us up here, plane's at republic." "Is that a Iot to ask?" " Saves time fighting traffic." " And all those toll booths." " No, thanks." " Something to drink, Miss FairchiId?" " Sabrina." " What a beautiful name!" " carol..." " Sorry." "Can I get you something?" " PeIIegrino." " Same." "Mack, anything from Granger?" "Anybody else at SEC?" "tell them I'II call them back as soon as I can." "So, that really is a beautiful name." "How did you get it?" "My father's reading." "It's in a poem." "Oh?" ""Sabrina fair Listen where thou art sitting" ""Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave" ""In twisted braids of lilies knitting" ""The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair"" " Oh, that's so..." " carol." "I'm sorry." "It's an incredible airplane." "It's beautiful." "I've never seen anything like it." "well, yes..." " Don't you ever look out the window?" " When I have time." "What happened to the time we saved taking the helicopter?" " I'm storing it up." " No, you're not." "So, your little poem, what does it mean?" "It's about a water sprite who saved a virgin from a fate worse than death." " And Sabrina's the virgin?" " Sabrina's the saviour." "(Camera shutter clicking)" " Is it always like this?" " I haven't been here in years." "How can you have a place like this and never come here?" "Erm..." "Gee, I don't know." "I guess I..." "I just never had anybody to share it with." "I guess." "You could always hire somebody." "No, wait, not me." "The house, please." "You're in the house, it humanises it." "I don't like having my picture taken." "I come out..." "looking depressed." "Are you depressed?" "Maybe that's not exactly the right word." " What is the right word?" " I don't know." "Er..." "lonely, maybe." " You think that's funny?" " No, I just expected something else." "No, I suppose you're right." "It is funny." "Linus Larrabee is lonely." "I'm sorry, I made you uncomfortable." "Let's get the outside." " Do you want a view from the house?" " Er, sure." " Which one?" " AII of them." "More isn't always better, sometimes it's just more." " Pick one." " I don't know anything about..." "Just look." "Don't take a picture, just look." "Er, ocean, ocean, ocean, ocean, quaint little fishing village, ocean." "Lighthouse, guy going into the lighthouse." "There's a job for you." "What must that be like?" "What kind of a guy takes a job keeping a lighthouse?" "Every time I Iook through a camera I'm surprised." "It's like finding yourself in the middle of a story, Iike you just did." "What kind of a guy takes a job keeping a lighthouse?" "I think I've been taking pictures all my Iife," "long before I ever had a camera." "(Phone)" "Excuse me." "call him back, Mother." "Raise the offer half a point." "No more." "Here?" "Lousy." "So far I'm more affected than she is." "I damn near cried twice." "I'm running out of time." "I don't know what to try." "OK." "Finished." "We'II have some lunch and then you ought to get a look at the island while you're here." " You miss Paris?" " Not yet but I will." " You liked it there?" " I Ioved it." "You'd probably hate it." " What?" "Why?" " It's all about pleasure." "They work hard, they just know when to quit and enjoy themselves." "Oh!" "What a beautiful building!" "Nobody builds with brick any more." "That's late 1800s." "In Paris they'd call that brand-new." "I hope they don't tear it down." "They won't." "I own it, that whole block." "I donated it to the village as a halfway house." "You know, jails are full of guys that never had a break." "Look at this guy picking cans." "They get backed to the wall, commit some petty crime." "They're stuck, outsiders for the rest of their lives." "It's not fair." "The only chance they'II ever have is a halfway house that'II help them get their feet under them." "Excuse me." "could you take a picture of us?" "Yeah." "It's that one." "Are you done?" "I don't think I can eat any more." "It's too late to give them their freedom." "You are not exactly what people say you are." "Oh, yeah?" "What do they say I am?" "You know..." "No." "well...that you're the world's only living heart donor." " Oh, that." " And how does this one go?" "Er..." ""He thinks that morals are paintings on walls" ""and scruples are money in Russia."" " That's droll." " Then there's my favourite..." "No, no, I get the picture." "That's enough." "Do you remember the rainy afternoon we spent together?" "My father had... had driven your mother and David into town for a music lesson." " How old was he?" " I don't know. 1 4, 15." " That would be the oboe." " The oboe?" "It was a misunderstanding." "He thought he was going to take hobo lessons." " It was a rainy afternoon, huh?" " Stormy." "I was afraid and I came into your house and tried to turn on a lamp but I got a shock and I thought I had been struck by lightning." "And you stayed with me all afternoon, until my father came home." "You didn't cry." "You were a brave kid." "No." "I was more afraid of you than being electrocuted." "Everybody was." "Is that the reason you never get married?" "you probably don't believe in marriage." "Yes, I do." "That's why I never got married." "David, on the other hand, believes in the tooth fairy." " That's why I Iike him." " I Iike him too." "in a matter of fact, I Iove him." "I just don't know what to do with him." "When he was a kid, he loved coming into the office." "He'd sit behind my father's desk and write memos and read the ticker tape." "One day he just stopped and I can't figure out..." "Are those the only things people say about me?" "It was a nice day." "You were a little..." "tough on me, I thought." "I guess you're used to being treated very carefully." " When will you have the pictures?" " Tomorrow." " could you drop them by the office?" " Sure." "Good night then, Sabrina fair." "Linus..." "Yeah." "My father once asked David why he stopped coming to the office and David said, "What do they need me for?" "Linus is there."" "I do real work in the real word." "David watches from the north shore." "I know you work in the real world and you're awfully good at it." "I'II bet you haven't made a wrong move since you were three." "But that's work." "Where do you live, Linus?" "It was a nice day." "Thanks." " (Knock on door)" " It's open." " Hi." " Where were you?" "In town?" "On Martha's Vineyard." "Linus wanted me to take some pictures." "Linus did?" "I Iove so many things about you, Dad." "But you know what I Iove best of all?" "That you became a chauffeur because you wanted to have time to read." "AII my Iife I've pictured you... sitting in the front seat of a Iong succession of cars waiting for the Larrabees and reading." "We had baked clams." "Linus baked them." " I used to be so afraid of him." " It was appropriate." " What was he like as a child?" " Shorter." "I Iook out the window and I see someone and it is a young woman." "So, I say, "What is a young woman doing in the courtyard" ""at this time of night?" I am looking and looking and I see Sabrina and she's talking!" "Who is she talking to?" "A man." "Not her dad because he's not as tall..." " Linus." "Sabrina went out with Linus." " It was Mr Linus." "Sabrina went out with Linus?" "That's weird." " I thought he was gay." " Mr Linus is not a gay." " It's not "a gay"." "Just "gay"." " Linus Larrabee is gay?" " That makes me like him better." " Linus Larrabee is a heterosexual." " He's still sleeping." " Is that normal?" "When you're taking what he's taking it is." "He wakes up from time to time." " Has he asked for anyone?" " Bert and Ernie." "Erm..." "could you tell him Sabrina was here?" "I couId tell him the Pope was here but I don't think it'd make a dent." "I'm going into the city but I'II be back by seven." "could you tell him?" "(Mack) quarterly reports will be on-Iine at four." "international wants a teleconference at 5:15." "Harvey..." "You know that old brick building we own at the Vineyard?" "Have you ever heard me be called the world's only living heart donor?" "Find out if there's any tax advantage to donating that building to the town." " If there isn't?" " Then forget it." "Oh, I want two tickets tonight for whatever Broadway show nobody can get tickets for." "And a table at the carlyle for drinks." " For whom?" " Me." " I know, I seldom go to the theatre." " seldom?" " OK, I'm not a theatre buff." " Buff?" "The most difficult tickets will be for a Broadway musical." "OK." "That means the actors periodically will dance about and burst into song." "Mack, forget about the tax advantage," "I want that building donated to the town... and I want it used as a halfway house." "(Mack) 'Sabrina FairchiId.'" "Come in." " Hi." " hello." "Sit down." " Make yourself comfortable." " Thanks." "Wow!" "It's...big." "This is where I do that real work in the real world instead of living." " You remembered." " It doesn't come up every day." " would you Iike some coffee?" " No, thanks." " Some of these are very good." " Don't sound so surprised." "I'm not." "This is an unusual view of the house." "Oh!" "Er, well..." "You said you wanted it to look bigger." "Sorry." "No, you have..." "Here." "You've got to admit it's beautiful." "I probably would, if you'd let me." "I found myself in Paris." "A friend said that." " You were missing?" " Yes." ""I once was lost and now I'm found..."" " You're making fun." " It's my turn." " You're very photogenic." " It's because I'm handsome." " No, that's not it." " But not as handsome as David." "Nobody is as handsome as David." "Even David." "Don't tell him that until he's fully recovered." "Are you sure I can't get you anything?" "Café au lait?" "snails?" "French fries?" " Theatre tickets?" " Theatre tickets?" "I thought I'd take my first step towards all that French stuff." "The good life, knowing when to quit." "Maybe it's a bad idea." "No, it's a good idea." "It was my favourite food in France." "There was a little place in PigaIIe, I ate there at Ieast twice a week." "Enjoy." "It's really so much better if you eat with your hands." "Do you mind?" "No, No..." "Ow!" "..not since I made that contribution to the NYU burn unit." "It's good." "Very good." "It's interesting." "I have to try it with soup sometime." "(Sabrina laughing)" "No one ever stops me... (Fades)" "(Faint, indistinct)" "I used to walk everywhere in Paris." "I used to walk from Montmartre into the centre of the town." "along the Seine, there's a four-miIe walk from IIe St Germain to Pont d'AusterIitz." "It takes you past all the bridges of Paris." "23 of them." "You find one you love and... you go there every day with your coffee and journal and you listen to the river." " What does it tell you?" " That's between you and the river." "It's funny, listening to you talk makes me..." "Makes me wonder if I shouldn't..." " What?" " I don't know." "Something's different." "I feel different." "At work, I don't..." "I Iove the action but..." "sometimes I wonder." "lately, especially, I've been wondering... what it wouId be like... to spend some time in a place that I Iove like that." "Not just a few days but for a real change." "actually, I've been thinking about it for a Iong time." " I just didn't know it until you..." " What exactly are you saying?" "I'm not sure." "I do what my dad did." "He..." "He did what his dad did." "My whole life I've been..." "I never chose." "The path gets deeper, more familiar but..." "You're not really thinking about Paris?" "No." "No, you're probably right." "How could I be?" "Am I a lost cause, then?" "I don't like to think of anyone as a lost cause." " What time is it?" " 9:45." "I told the nurse to tell David I'd look in on him." "He's probably sleeping and..." " We can go." " No." "You're right, I..." "No, come on, Iet's walk a little." "Was there anything you didn't like about Paris?" "How expensive everything is." "I'd have to Iearn how to say, "I'm just looking."" "Je ne fais que regarder." "How do you say, "This is what I want"?" "Je désire ceIui-ci." "How do you say, "I'm looking at what I want"?" "I don't remember." "I brought you some tea and I brought you some flowers to brighten up your room." "Have you been watching Remains Of The Day again?" "She can handle herself with him." "She's not a little girl any more." "It's just that she seems, I don't know, displaced right now." "She doesn't belong in a mansion or above the garage." "Most people live in-between." "Have your tea and try to sleep." " Hi." " David." "How are you feeling?" "Great." "Just felt like getting out of bed for a while." " Mack says you went to the theatre?" " Just dinner." "Moroccan, on the floor." "Lots of cinnamon." " What's the word from CaIIoway?" " I'm healing fast." "I just can't eat on the floor yet." " It was good." "Thanks." " Are you heading back to the city?" "No, it's getting late." "I think I'II sleep out here." " Good night." " Good night, Linus." "Thanks." "So...you." "I've been thinking about you." "Have you?" "What were you thinking?" "We never had that drink in the solarium." "No, we never did." "You sent Linus." "Ah!" "should you be walking around?" "Hey!" " What's going to happen?" " I couId scare us up some champagne." "A couple of dixie cups." "I'm through with glasses." "We could hobble down to the solarium and pick right up..." " No, I meant after that." " After?" "well, shucks." "Whatever, I don't know." " Don't you?" " well, not exactly." "Is that so bad?" "No." "We can talk about that later, can't we?" "Yes...but tomorrow." "I really think you should rest now." "OK." "Good night, David." " Good morning." "How was the theatre?" " Come in, Mack." "That bad, huh?" "I want you to get two tickets to Paris, one for me and one for Sabrina FairchiId." "That's it." " What day are we flying?" " Tomorrow." "I almost forgot." "The Tysons are here waiting." " Did we have an appointment?" " Not in my book." "They showed up." "Is my mother in yet?" "My nephew is the same." "I gave him a huge office but he's never there." "We use it for lunches." "These are the invitations." "We thought we'd use recycled paper." " Why does it always look dirty?" " Oh, Maude." "Which do you Iike, the taupe or the buff?" " What's the problem, Patrick?" " No problem from our point of view." "I feel like a..." "What's that word, when a Iot of guys are after you?" "Whore." "I was thinking more a debutante." "Somebody else wants to be in bed with Tyson electronics." " You know Intermedia?" " Uh-uh." "Impressive proposal." "Cash, stock...and they don't want to tell me how to run the business." " How flattering for you." " How did you leave it with them?" "I told him we're practically family, you and I." "I couldn't possibly entertain their offer...at this time." "Good." "But elizabeth came home last night." "She called David..." "and we got the impression..." "You." "You got the impression." "I got the impression that he wasn't very anxious to see her." "He's not himself, Patrick." "He's been injured." "He's on very heavy medication." "He wants to be perfect before he sees her." "That's what I thought." "(Phone)" " hello?" " 'Good morning.'" "Linus." "would you mind another trip into the city?" "I'd Iike to discuss some business..." " Business?" " 'Yeah.'" "I was wondering if we could meet this afternoon?" "I don't know, there's something I ought to do." "It would mean a great deal to me." "That little leprechaun was making a veiled threat." "There was no veil." " should we do something?" " It's under control." "I'm going to Paris tomorrow." " What?" " It's a Iong story." " I Iike long stories." " You won't like this one." "Try me." "Things have been progressing with Sabrina." "We've bonded." "We've been confiding in each other." "Last night, over a handful of chicken," "I told her my Iife was in need of radical changes." "I told her I was thinking about getting away." "Moving to Paris." "She thought that was a great idea." " And she believed you?" " I think she'II want to go with me." "How do you know?" "The same way I knew fibre optics would replace coaxial cable, that intel's chip would change the industry, that Cindy Crawford's House Of style would be a big hit." "I just know." "So here's the way it'II play out." "Sabrina will go to Paris with me." "A wiser David will return to elizabeth." "I'II come back from Paris to sign the papers." "The merger will close." "We'II make a very large sum of money and you can buy a house in Tuscany." "I have a house in Tuscany." " What happens to Sabrina?" " She grows up." "You're going to ditch her?" "My goodness." "How did you think this was going to happen?" "Did you think there was some nice way to do it?" "I don't know what I thought." "I just don't want Sabrina to be..." "What?" "Unhappy?" "You've never seen the face of somebody the day after we've taken over their business." "You're at the hairdresser or celebrating." "I think I'm getting old." "I feel terrible." "Take a pill." "Watch it!" "I'm still your mother." "And you taught me everything I know." "I didn't teach you this." "Excuse me, I have some calls to return." "(TV) # closer together" "# Now #" "Miss FairchiId." "He was expecting you earlier." "I'll tell him you're here." "Maybe this isn't a good idea." "Don't tell him I'm here." "But he pays me to tell him." "Sabrina FairchiId." " I was beginning to worry." " Why?" "That's a favourite question of yours." "Didn't you want to come?" "Er..." " I asked you first." " I asked you second." "Er..." "I've been..." "I've been wandering around Manhattan all afternoon." "It's something to do with maybe... never seeing you again and that's ridiculous because we don't..." "Er, we don't have to..." "Er, well, except by accident and, er..." "How could that be a problem?" "Um..." "If two people..." "I asked you first." "well, er..." "What you said, whatever it is... makes what I was going to say..." "obsolete, I think." "obsolete?" "irrelevant." "OK, I Iike irrelevant." "Do you?" " Who cuts your hair?" " Tony." "Tony?" " Yeah." "should I go to your barber?" " No but..." "Tony was my dad's barber." "He's 94." "Maybe his hands aren't as steady as they..." "As they used to be." "It's just that it's all..." " So, what's irrelevant?" " I want you to come to Paris." "You mean go to Paris?" "No, I want you to come to Paris...with me." " You're really going?" " It's your fault." "You convinced me there were some things missing in my Iife." " Like what?" " Like a life." " I didn't think you were listening." " I was." "will you come?" "Don't say no." "will you?" " I just got back." " So?" "Say yes, now." " We'd leave tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" "I have to talk to David." " Just come away." " And..." "He'II get the idea in a week or two." "You are formidable, aren't you?" " In business dealings..." " This isn't business." "Didn't you say everything is business?" "No, but it sounds like me." "What will you tell him?" "(Knock on door)" "I did knock." "Here are the tickets." "And the other things are being taken care of." "And good night." "So it is." "You want dinner?" " No." " I couId order in." "No." "I don't understand what happened." " I hardly know you." " Yes, you do." " I wasn't even interested." " Gee, thanks." "No, no!" "(Laughing)" "I was interested in David." "He was so much what I wanted that I had to escape and I did, to Paris and I wrote in my stupid journal and I cut my stupid hair and I came back stupider than ever." "Oh, Linus!" "I'm so happy." "You've made me so happy." "Linus...what...?" " I can't do this." " What is it?" " You were right." " About what?" "About everything." "Everything that mattered." "It was all a lie." "Everything I said to you from the moment I brought the champagne to the solarium." " I don't believe you." " I was sent to deal with you." "I sent myself and I did a hell of a job." "There was a marriage, there was a merger." "You got in the way." "The plan is to take you to Paris, then leave, to get you out of the way." "Sabrina.." "I think..." "What other things are being taken care of?" " What?" " She said "other things"." "An apartment for you in Paris, a bank account." "How much?" "500,000 francs." "Your first offer was better." "You can have more." "I don't want more." "I don't want any." "You went to all that trouble just for me?" " The helicopter and the jet and..." " It was no trouble." "Was I really so bad for David?" "So wrong?" "The chauffeur's daughter, isn't that over?" "That's not it." " It's about a piece of plastic." " plastic?" "Nothing personal." "May I?" "Paris is always a good idea." "I was happy there." "You would have been too." "I'II drive you home." "I'm flying home." "(Sighs)" "(Car door closes outside)" ""He shall have music wherever he goes."" "Hi." " You're better?"

"You're the only girl I danced with only once." "Twice." "What?" "How could I have forgotten?" "Was there champagne?" "I was eight and you were taking dancing lessons." "I was homework." "I'm leaving town, David." " I think I knew that." " I won a ticket to Paris." "Lucky." "One way?" "Yes, come to think of it." "travelling alone?" "Yes." "You have a good trip." " You're here." " So are you." "I want you to call seattle and Tokyo and tell them to stop construction." "Then get the Rons and Tysons to an emergency meeting on the merger here." "Then transfer my Paris ticket to the name of David Larrabee." " I need to see my mother..." " (David) Linus." "I need to see my mother as soon as she gets in." "Good morning, David." "Can I get you some coffee?" "No?" "OK." "I've got a surprise for you." "Yeah?" "I got one for you too." "I watched you for years but I thought there was a limit to how sick..." "How could you, Linus?" "How could you do what you did to me and to her?" "How could you go that far?" "What the hell makes you think you have the right?" "Habit." "Listen, David." "I tried something and it didn't work." "It worked but it didn't really work." "I want you to go to Paris today." " With Sabrina." " What?" "This whole thing was a business tactic...but it got out of hand." "Somehow I lost my focus." "I screwed up everything... but I know it can be fixed." "I manipulated her, I confused her... but she's loved you all her life." "You're what she really wants." "You're what she's always wanted." "Go with her, it's not too late." "Things will work out." "She'II make you happy." "I don't want her to have to leave here alone." "What about Patrick and the merger?" "You'd blow a billion dollars for this?" "I see." "Get going." "Go on." "You'II miss the plane." "Miss McCardIe, I want to see you in my office right away." "Where is it?" "When your mother and I first came here, she cooked, I drove and we had no expenses." "After a couple of years we had $15,000." "I was driving Mr Larrabee Snr at the time and he never closed the window between us." "He did a Iot of business on the daily commute and I paid attention." "When he bought, I bought." "When he sold, I sold." "daddy, are you telling me you have a million dollars?" "No..." "A little over two million." "Your mother and I were happy here." "We always dreamed of what it wouId be like to do this for you." "$2 million might have exceeded her expectations." "But then you've always exceeded mine." "I know what his instructions were mistakes but I'm giving you new ones." "There's been a change, we..." "Just get started and I'II call you back." "Thanks for getting here so quickly." "I need to tell you a story... and I need for you to tell me..." "how it's going to turn out." "AII those years you made all that money and you never told any of us how to do it."
