Isn't She Great Page #8

Oh, no, I just need a sec. I'm fine.

SHE SIGHS:

Look at him.

Like a movie star.

Aw, he's a heartbreaker.

Yeah.

Please. Please, be careful.

She's a celebrity. Mind the bumps.

They're waiting at the hospital.

We got the big suite, the one

where Liz Taylor had pneumonia.

Irving?

Lie back. Rest.

I can't believe this.

I'm astounded

that you of all people would

not tell me that she was here.

I'm sorry.

How could you?

You know how she is about the

cancer. She thinks it'd hurt sales.

She doesn't want anyone to feel

sorry for her. I never would!

She is so brave.

She's so utterly strong.

I know. She's the best.

I would play her.

Flo, don't go in there.

She's resting.

Jacqueline?

What are you doing here?

Well, now, this is a fine thing.

I mean, I wanna know what's wrong.

Now, what is it? Huh?

Here I am, probably your

best friend in the entire world,

and nobody tells me what's going on.

So, er, what's going on?

Is it, erm,

a face-lift?

Yeah.

SHE LAUGHS:

Well,

I guess it's time.

Oh.

Look who's here.

Jackie.

Excuse me, this is a private room.

Oh, we're not really here.

We thought you were Liz Taylor.

We knew we weren't supposed to come.

But this is business. Business?

It's about the new book. We got this

from your publisher in England.

We can only publish this work

if you remove the profanity. Stop.

Specifically the word f***. Stop.

We hope this will not be a problem.

Please advise.

What do you want us to do?

Send 'em a telegram.

Dear England, f*** you.

Love,

Jackie Susann.

Stop.

SHE LAUGHS:

'She made the front-page,

'all three dailies and every

network.

'She would have been thrilled.

'I had lost my best friend.

'But I knew she had gotten

what she wanted, what she needed.

'She'd made it all the way

to number one.

'In Jackie's books, when people get

to be stars, they take Seconal,

'Nembutal, they fall for the wrong people

and then kill themselves in their cabanas.

'Being famous, it's a bum rap.

'But, you know what?

'Jackie was a star.

And she loved every minute.

'She never got the breaks,

so she made her own.

'You gotta love that.

'But you know how

I like to remember her?

'On that beautiful day

in the Mediterranean.

'On that boat, with Onassis,

'knowing she'd made it at last.

'At the top of the world,

'at the top of her game.'

I think I married the wrong Jackie.

SHE LAUGHS:

'Wasn't she great?'

# I looked at you

# Looking at me

# There we were

# And it just happened

# You were the one

# And you

# Were sent to

# Open my heart

# And to find

# The love that's there

# And just for you

# For always

# All of my hopes

# All of my dreams

# Everyone

# We'll share forever

# You were my love

# And you were

# Sent to

# Open my heart

# And to find

# I live for you-u-u. #
