CHARLOTTE
(shaking her head)
Oh, man, Kathy, you are
really something. Hmm-
hmm.. Ha-ha-ha.
Kathy is confused. She
thought she had
Charlotte on the ropes.
CHARLOTTE
(continuing in a mocking tone)
Oh, yes, Kathy, please tell me
all about Belinda and Myles.
I’m so in the dark about those two.
Please give me all the information
that you have on them.
Charlotte laughs in the
most mocking way that
she can.
KATHY
Did I say something funny?
CHARLOTTE
HA-HA-HA…
Yeah, you might say that !
What is wrong with you,
Valentine?! HA-HA-HA.
KATHY
(eyebrows raised)
I’m sorry?
CHARLOTTE
You don’t think I know
about Myles and Belinda?!!
Where have you been? I
thought you were spying
on me?
KATHY
She told you?
CHARLOTTE
Of course, she told me!
She told all of us! Those were
the first words that came out of her
mouth when she arrived at
the mansion that week.
KATHY
Really?
CHARLOTTE
Yes, really… She flew into the
kitchen, screaming and carrying-on
like some kind of contestant from
“The Price is Right.” Talkin’ about
how in love she was with Myles.
She blabbed about it for the first
two hours.
KATHY
Huh… Well, I guess I
wasn’t there.
CHARLOTTE
No, you weren’t there, Kathy…
You didn’t show up until the
day of the party. That’s why your
little presentation here got all
fucked-up. You weren’t there to
do your homework…. Ohh, but don’t
worry about it, honey… We all screw
up our lines from time to time… In the
meantime, however, I guess I’d better call
ol’ Leonard Katzman over on the set of “Dallas”…
you realize I know him personally…
and tell him you’re not quite ready for the
role yet… You’ve got a lot more
rehearsin’ to do. Patrick Duffy’s lips
are just gonna have to wait…
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
KATHY
I thought I was the only one
she told. It seemed like it.
CHARLOTTE
Well, I guess you don’t know your
BEST friend the way you think you do.
She couldn’t wait to tell us.
KATHY
Hmm, well, I guess this one’s
on me. Don’t I feel like the fool.
CHARLOTTE
(triumphant)
Ah, like I said, Kath, don’t worry
about it… You tried… You gave it
your best shot… and you failed, that’s
all.. BUT, it does look like we’re back to
square one.
KATHY
Square one?
CHARLOTTE
Well, sure… You’re back to having
nothing… You’ve got no proof of
anything… You’ll never get a judge to
issue a warrant for those offshore
accounts. You’ll never get The
Commission to look into my holdings…
And, on top of all that, we’ve got a dead
body buried in the back yard with your
fingerprints on it… I’d say, all in all, Kathy,
that pretty much means that you’re
well-fucked.
Kathy is not beaten—
Not yet.
KATHY
You think so, huh?
CHARLOTTE
Yeah… I’d say so.
KATHY
I think I know Belinda pretty well.
CHARLOTTE
It sure doesn’t seem like it.
KATHY
You think you know her?
CHARLOTTE
Well.. I think I know her a
lot better than you.
KATHY
Really?
CHARLOTTE
Absolutely.
KATHY
Do you think you know Myles
pretty well, also?
CHARLOTTE
Sure… I know Myles pretty well.
KATHY
Would you like me to tell
you a little story?
CHARLOTTE
Oh, please.. by all means.
