Lethal Seduction Page #3

like that anyway, hmm?

Goodnight, Mark.

Hey, wait, wait.

Are we good?

Well, it's just really

upsetting to know

that when push comes to shove,

you fail to come to my defense.

I tried, she...

Yeah, no, boys try,

men do.

A real man sees what

he wants and he takes it.

He doesn't ask permission

from his mommy.

You're right.

Do you even know

what you want, Mark?

When that boy gets back here,

I'm gonna sit his butt down.

We are gonna have

a conversation about this

because I am not

letting him out...

( car doors slam )

This is all I could find.

Hope it's all right.

Hi, handsome.

Are you ready to try something

a little more thrilling?

Isn't that what

we've been doing?

Child's play.

I'm talking about dangerous.

Dangerous is my middle name.

Oh, yeah?

( gasping )

That was intense.

Don't do it, Tanya.

Give him his privacy.

He's a good kid.

You should be

more trusting.

Darn it.

Wow.

Oh, my God.

That's the way to wake up

in the morning.

You just know you're gonna

have a good day.

So what are we

gonna do today?

Your choice.

Uh, you mean like

what position or what room?

I think we should

take a breather.

A breather, who

needs a breather?

Just a couple of hours.

How about the beach?

Oh, yeah, yeah,

sex on the beach.

That sounds cool.

My God, you are insatiable.

( doorbell rings )

Are you expecting someone?

No.

Why don't you jump

in the shower and get dressed?

Okay.

( beep )

Yes?

Hi, this is

Tanya Richards,

Mark's mother.

Oh, this should be good.

( door buzzer )

I wanted to stop by

on my way to work.

I just think we got off

on the wrong foot.

So you're here

to apologize?

Well, I can't say I'm all right

with you seeing my son, but,

um, I believe we both

have something in common.

Is that so?

We're both widows.

Mm-hmm.

I understand the loneliness

and what you're going through

and you know

what it feels like

to lose someone you care

about and love so much.

I do.

But let's cut the crap.

You're--you're here

for Mark, right?

You're gonna, uh, save your

little boy from me?

Mommy to the rescue?

Excuse me?

You're pathetic.

Go home, Tanya,

we're done here.

Excuse me.

We're not done here.

I want to see my son.

Get him right now.

Listen, I don't like you.

I don't like you

one bit, Tanya.

You're a self-righteous,

condescending b*tch

who's afraid of letting her

son grow up simply because

she's afraid of being alone.

You have no idea what

you're talking about.

Don't I?

Mark is my son.

I'm his mother.

- Don't you...

- Oh, please spare me the

sentimental family bond crap.

I came here to make amends.

Clearly, that was a mistake.

Mark's not an idiot.

You know, in a couple of weeks,

he's gonna toss you aside

and then you'll be all alone.

Possibly.

Or more likely, after

a month of me

screwing his brains out

day and night,

I'll be able to convince him

to do anything I want,

including cutting you out

of his life for good.

Have a nice day.

Whoa.

Mm, smells good.

Cream?

Please.

Mm, blueberry's my favorite.

Almost as good as Mom's.

You know, Mark,

I was thinking,

maybe you should move in.

I've got this big house

all to myself and, well,

it would get you out from

under your mother's prying eyes.

Um, I don't know if that's

such a good idea.

Why not?

Don't you like it here?

Yeah, yeah, it's just

my mom still needs me.

And what's the point?

Summer's over in a month.

- Over?

- Yeah.

I'm gonna have to move all

my stuff to go to college.

I don't want to

move it twice.

You know, I think we should

skip the beach today.

I think you should go home.

What did I say?

Yo, this place is sick.

Let's go.

How many bedrooms

and more importantly,

how many bedrooms

have you done it in?

Just drive.

So what'd you do?

Did you eat all her

high fiber yogurt?

Did you TiVo over

her episodes of "NCIS"?

No.

Did you ask her to take out

her dentures when she wa...

All I did was imply that we

were having a summer fling.

You don't tell that to a chick,

especially one

who's only got so many

good years left.

She wanted me to move

in with her.

To the Pleasure Dome?

That's great.

My mom would kill me.

You gotta leave the nest

at some point so what's

a few weeks early?

I think she's gonna

break up with me.

I got it.

We buy her flowers

and butterscotch toffees

from the five and dime.

Just shut the hell up.

She's an evil, conniving,

back-stabbing man-eating tramp.

Randy, I'm worried

about my son.

I mean, he has no idea

that he's under this

vicious siren's spell.

Siren?

Yeah, is that a thing?

Daughters of the Greek god,

Achilles, mermaid-like creatures

who seduce young sailors

with song

making them crash their

ships on the rocky cliffs?

Uh-huh, that's her.

Anyway, I have got to find

a way to snap Mark out

of this trance.

- Or...

- Or what?

Nothing.

It's not my place.

Oh, come on, Randy,

of course it's your place.

Clearly, what I'm doing

is not working and you

always tell me the truth.

So what should I do?

I think you should allow Mark

to make his own mistakes.

He's a good kid.

All thanks to you.

You're a loving, caring

mother and he is the person

he is because of you.

But Tanya, you can't protect

him from all the dangers

of the world.

Sometimes, you gotta let

the baby get burned by the iron

if he's ever gonna learn,

get strong and, you know,

grow up.

Really?

That's your big advice.

What?

How can you take that

insane woman's side?

No, I don't think I was...

That is horrible advice.

What kind of idiot lets

a baby play with an iron?

The next thing you'll be

telling me is I drove him

to her, that it's my fault.

Unbelievable.

I'm just thinking that if

you wouldn't have made it

so difficult for Mark

to be independent,

he might have stayed

closer to home.

Who knows, you know?

Maybe he would've

gotten together with

that girl from the party.

Melanie?

The girl in the bikini.

Hmm, well, anything's

better than that woman.

I'm gonna call and

invite her over.

No, Tanya, that's

what I'm talking about.

You're going about

this all wrong.

You're right.

I'm gonna send her an email

from Mark's email address.

What? No!

That's even...

Thanks for the advice.

Tanya!

Oh, thank God.

Hello.

Hey, uh, I was

getting worried.

Did you get my texts?

I did.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't mean to say

those things to upset you.

No.

I certainly don't

want this to end.

It's been the best

time of my life.

I really, really

like you a lot.

A whole lot.

I know you do.

So can I come over tonight?

Gosh, do you think your

mommy will let you?

What does my mom have...

I thought you were mad

about me going to Princeton.

Don't be silly.

Of course I want you

to go to college, Mark.

But only if that's

what you want.

I fear you make all of

your decisions based on

what the queen decrees.

Hey, I know she's intrusive.

That's a very nice way

of putting it.

I'd use controlling
