Born to Be Bad Page #9

The only one who sees through her facade is Nick, a rugged writer who loves her anyway. Christabel also loves Nick, but she loves Curtis' money more.

Your aunt clara died at 3:00

this afternoon, christabel.

We tried all day

to reach you.

She wanted very much

to see you.

Good night, curtis.

Uncle john, i...

i never dreamt...

uncle john!

Curtis-

i'll be gone

exactly one week.

Don't be here

when i get back.

Curtis is

just coming in.

Thanks.

Curtis.

I was afraid...

afraid?

Oh, not really,

but you were looking up at the sky.

Your thoughts must have been miles away.

Not so far away,

actually.

When i married

christabel,

i gave up every

other interest

i ever had

in my life-

golf, tennis,

most of my friends...

even my work.

Am i boring you?

Oh, no, curtis, no.

I want to hear this.

And my whole life revolved

around only one thing-

desire

for christabel.

I made a big mistake

when i gave up flying.

Maybe i'm one

of those people

that has to back

away from things

to see them clearly...

because once i'm up

in that plane,

all by myself,

i can look down and see

things as they really are,

in their true

proportions.

The big and important

things look big,

and the little dirty

things look like just that.

Try to put up

with me, donna.

I almost lost you once.

You're the only thing

in my life worth having.

Oh.

Excuse me, please.

Now, what about

the furniture?

I wouldn't want anything

that belonged to curtis.

It would only remind me

of... happier times.

Won't those remind you

just a little?

I'll simply have

to force myself.

Good-bye, madam.

Good-bye, arthur.

My portrait.

That's mine.

Curtis gave it to me for

getting you out of the house.

Even you couldn't be

so despicable.

Sure, i could. Listen,

will you do me a favor?

I didn't want to ask you, but if

you'd just get yourself mixed up

in one more little scandal, i'd

be able to sell you for more money.

It only stands

to reason.

What's happened already

between you and curtis

has made

your price go up.

Yes. You're right.

Just a minute.

Where's the key

to the house?

You're contemptible.

No. I'm gobby,

remember?

The key.

Uh, my portrait.

May i have

the key, sir?
