A Good Woman Page #7

Synopsis: In 1930, Mrs. Erlynne, who describes herself as poor and infamous, driven from New York society by jealous wives, sees a news photo of wealthy Lord Windermere and his young wife: she heads for the Amalfi Coast to be among the rich and famous for 'the season' and to snare Mr. Windermere. Gossips twitter as he spends his afternoons with her, his wife blissfully innocent as she blushingly fends off attentions from a young English nobleman, an international playboy who thinks he's in love. Mrs. Erlynne is also pursued by a worldly-wise older English nobleman. Mrs. Windermere's 20th birthday party approaches, where all plays out amid numerous amoral Wildean aphorisms.

And neither should you.

Mrs Erlynne,

One thousand Dollars.

For one night I thought you were in

love with another woman.

For one night I thought you were in

love with another man.

- She was right.

- Who?

Mrs Erlynne said we can't

shut our eyes...

to everything that isn't perfect...

otherwise we might fall

into a huge abyss.

We almost fell.

She's a smart woman.

She's a good woman.

Better than I thought.

She insisted.

Who?

Meg.

Something to remember her by.

And she explained everything.

Everything?

Oh, yes, couse.

The flat tyre, the dog.

The Brazilian taxi diver with the

pregnant daughter...

who lost her purse.

And the only thing I can say

in my defense is...

that I have no defense.

I jumped to conclusions and

thought the worst.

Where's this old crate going to?

I don't know.

Will you marry me when get there?

A man gets the wife he deserves.

Well, I've been a very, very bad man.

You know, John,

love's a battleground.

It was only a flesh wound.

Men advance,

women resist.

We retreat and they

block our escape.

We can't win.

The sexes will never understand

each other.

Only because they take such pains

to deceive each other.

Oh, hello Dumby,

are you awake?

Am I winning?
