Beaches Page #9

Richard. She just had to go.

I don't understand it.

Just yesterday

she was telling me how

she wanted to become a nurse.

Here.

You might as well have this.

Oh, thank you.

It's lovely.

It's--

Why don't we get together

next week and have lunch

and talk about it.

- Sure, sure.

- Really? You mean it?

You're perfectly welcome

to come inside.

No, thanks, Hillary.

I really should get going.

- Take out that

whole section there.

-John?

Hi, CC.

Gee, you haven't

changed a bit.

Neither Have you.

You look great.

When my agent...

told me it was you who

wanted me for this show, l--

I just couldn't

believe it.

Why me?

Well, I heard you weren't busy.

I bet.

You're the only person with enough

talent to play the part.

So youll do it,

even though Im the director?

- Sure, Ill do it.

-You will?

Mm-hmm.

Business is business.

So, rehearsals

start Monday?

10:
00 sharp.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What do you mean,

you can't?

- Some people are afraid of snakes.

- Snakes?

- What does that have

to do with anything?

- Im afraid of blood.

Im afraid of death.

I can't even stand to hear

someone say, ''mucous membrane.''

- You were going to be my partner.

- Ive made a terrible mistake.

I should have known

you'd do something like that !

This isn't the first time !

What are you saying?

The time you left me waiting

in the lobby of the Plaza Hotel

and you never showed up.

I cannot believe

you're bringing that up again !

It was the most inconsiderate thing

anyone's ever done to me.

I told you a million times

what happened.

I went to the Iranian queen

for a pedicure.

His manic-depressive boyfriend

stole my purse with everything in it !

- CC.

- Richard.

Hi. Congratulations.

I hear your play is a success.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Thanks.

I hear youre getting married.

- Hillary told me

she's quite beautiful.

-Thank you.

She also says she's very--

she's very nice.

You're going to stay,

arent you?

How'd I get in here?

Miss Bloom, are you all right?

Somebody ! Anybody !

Oh, you gotta be joking !

CC.

Wake up.

Ceece?

- Is it over?

-Yes.

-What is it?

- It's a girl.

It's a beautiful

little girl.

Oh, she's so beautiful.

This is the most important

moment of my entire life.

Look at her.

She's very smart.

I do not fear

the Wizard of Evil...

for I am Princess Opgel...

and even he cannot

resist my powers.

I know he locked

Prince Charlie in the tower--

Victoria Cecilia,

are you in bed yet?

Yes, Mom.

And she goes to rescue

the princess.

And she goes up

the slimy steps...

and meets the Wizard,

and she kills--

The Wizard of Evil

shows up unexpectedly...

and he grabs

the princess.

He puts her

into a deep, deep sleep...

for at least

eight hours, I hope.

Come on. Let me

pull the bed down.

Just ten more days

till school's out.

You know what?

I can't wait too.

I don't know about you,

but I am exhausted.

- Love you.

- Love you.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Pouncer, Pouncer

The wonder cat

Im so glad

you're not a rat

Or a bat or too fat

- Pouncer, Pouncer, the wonder cat

- Victoria, it's time for dinner.

Dear favorite lawyer, that was

great advice you gave me.

I held out, and they had

to outbid two other

record companies to keep me.

So I get to do another album, and Im

going to pick music that I like.

You are the greatest.

Love, Ceece.

But, Mom,

you said I could.

You can invite Melissa the last week

in August, but not before.

But I thought she could stay the

whole month. I already told her.

Then ''untell'' her.

l-I want this summer to be peaceful.

I can't shake this flu.

Im tired.

I don't want to spend my time

taking care of other people's

children. Understood?

But who will I play with?

The same children you've

played with every summer

since you were born:

the ones who live there.

Im late !

Im sorry, puss.

Im just so tired.

Im very tired.

You're always tired.

Hey.

- Thanks a lot.

- Bye-bye.

- Okay. Hi, Frank.

Gorgeous night, isn't it?

- It certainly is.

By the way, I want to congratulate

you for winning the Tony.

- Wasn't that something?

Did you like my speech?

- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I didn't mean a word.

Did you see those three other

broads gnashing their teeth?

- Yeah.

- It was great, wasn't it?

- What's this for?

- It'll keep you honest.

- Congratulations

on the Nordoff case.

- Thanks.

- Oh, Hillary,

do you have a minute?

-Just. Im due in court now.

Well, the attorney

from the drug company

called me this morning.

- They want to settle out of court.

- I bet they do. Forget it.

You're being stubborn.

Im not stubborn.

Im right.

Look, I respect you--

We all respect you--

but get off

your moral high horse and--

Going to court is not going

to solve a thing.

Its just going to complicate

a simple financial deal between

your client and mine.

Hillary? Hillary,

you all right?

- Hillary, you all right?

- Can't breathe.

- What's the matter?

- She can't breathe.

She can't breathe.

- I don't know what's going on.

- Oh, my God.

Call a doctor, somebody !

- Do you know C. P. R.?

- No, I don't.

- Honey,

what can we do for you?

- Maybe she's a diabetic.

I don't know. What is it?

Call 91 1 ! Call a doctor!

Technically, it's called

viral cardiomyopathy.

What that means to you is that she

will suffer from shortness of breath...

fatigue, dizziness.

- Do you mean all the time?

- Im afraid so.

You see, this virus attacks the heart

and damages the muscle.

I don't know how

disciplined she is now...

but she's gonna have

to change her lifestyle.

With proper rest and medicine,

we can slow down the deterioration.

- Hi, puss !

- Hi, Mom.

Come here. Give me a kiss.

I missed you so much.

Missed you too.

- What are you doing here alone?

- Aunt Vesta's outside

talking to the doctor.

- Oh.

- Are you okay?

- Sure, I am. Im gonna be home

at the end of the week.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Good ! What's this?

See? I its how the doctor

can tell what's wrong with me.

- What is wrong with you, anyway?

- I caught a virus.

In your heart?

Who told you that?

I heard the doctor say it

to Aunt Vesta.

Yes, I caught a virus

in my heart.

And you caught

three new freckles.

- You've been busy, havent you?

- Yeah. What's their names?

- Ellen, Betty Ann and Benji.

- What color are they?

- Broken windows

and empty hallways

- Hi.

I was wondering

if you could help me.

- I want to see everything

you have on a heart disease...

- A pale, dead moon

- called cardiomyopathy.

- In a sky streaked with gray

Let me look that up for you.

- Human kindness

- Viral cardiomyopathy.

Is overflowing

And I think

it's gonna rain

Today

Scarecrows dressed

In the latest styles

With frozen smites

To chase love away

Human kindness

Is overflowing

And I think

it's gonna rain

Today

Lonely

So lonely

Tin can at my feet

I think Ill kick it

down the street

That's the way

to treat

A friend

Bright before me

The signs implore me
