Mollie crosses to wall and switches on the lights. She sees
Williams, sobs and rushes over to him.
Mollie gets down on her knees and begins ministering to Earl.
He opens his eyes.
WILLIAMS:
Hello, Mollie.
Mollie begins to sob.
WIDER ANGLE SHOT
Hildy comes over and says:
HILDY:
Quiet, Mollie, quiet!
WILLIAMS:
(putting out hand to
stroke her hair)
Don't cry, Mollie, there's nothing
to cry about.
HILDY:
How'd you get here, Earl?
WILLIAMS:
Down the drainpipe. I didn't mean to
shoot him. You believe me, don't
you, Mollie?
MOLLIE:
(coming up)
WILLIAMS:
I forgot to thank you for those roses.
They were beautiful.
MOLLIE:
That's all right, Mr. Williams...
(to Hildy)
You're a woman. You got to help us.
You got to get him out of here, some
place where I can take care of him.
HILDY:
Stop screaming, Mollie or we're sunk.
I'm trying to think of something
before those reporters get back.
WILLIAMS:
Let 'em take me. It's better that
way.
MOLLIE:
No -- I'll never let 'em!
The door is tried outside.
MOLLIE:
They'll get him! They'll get him!
HILDY:
Ssh!
INT. CORRIDOR OUTSIDE PRESS ROOM DOOR CLOSE SHOT
Endicott at door is trying to get in.
ENDICOTT:
Who locked the door?
HILDY:
(calling)
Just a second, Mike ---
(whispering to Mollie)
Mollie, I got it!
Hildy jumps in to the desk and opens it, turning to cry in a
tense whisper to Earl:
HILDY:
Can you get in this desk?
Wilson is there too, now, and he and Endicott are pounding
on the door.
WILSON:
What's going on in there?
INT. PRESS ROOM HILDY, MOLLIE AND EARL
Mollie and Earl are with Hildy in front of desk now. They
are speaking in whispers.
WILLIAMS:
What good'll it do?
HILDY:
We'll get you out in ten minutes.
ENDICOTT:
Open up there, will you!
INT. PRESS ROOM HILDY, MOLLIE AND EARL
HILDY:
(crying)
All right -- all right!
MOLLIE:
(to Earl)
Go on!
(shoving him to desk)
Please!
WILLIAMS:
They'll find me anyhow.
There is further and louder pounding on the door. Earl gets
in the desk. Hildy and Mollie pull the roll-top down over
him.
HILDY:
(calling)
I'm coming!
(to Earl)
Keep dead quiet. Don't even breathe.
MOLLIE:
(to Earl)
I'll be right here. I won't leave
you.
ENDICOTT:
(giving door a terrific
kick)
Hey!
INT. PRESS ROOM CLOSE SHOT HILDY AND MOLLIE
HILDY:
(to Mollie)
Mollie, drop down here! You've
fainted!
MOLLIE:
What's the idea?
HILDY:
Never mind! Just play dead.
Hildy rapidly unbuttons Mollie's waist and throws it back.
The kicking at the door continues.
MED. SHOT
Hildy rushes over to windows and pulls up the shades. Mollie
is lying quietly on the floor with her eyes closed. Hildy
rushes over to water cooler and gets a paper cup full of
water. She throws the water in Mollie's face.
MOLLIE:
(spluttering)
Hey --
HILDY:
(fiercely)
Shut up, you!
Hildy crosses swiftly to the door.
The door opens in Endicott's face and there is Miss Johnson,
quite cool.
ENDICOTT:
Kind of exclusive, ain't you? We got
calls to make, you know.
HILDY:
Run down and get some smelling salts,
will you?
WILSON:
Smelling salts! What's going on here?
They catch sight of Mollie, stretched out on the floor.
ENDICOTT:
Mollie Malloy -- what happened to
her?
