Easy.

Easy, Chrissy.

Mmm.

Now.

That's it.

Oh, boy.

We're going to make it.

So beautiful.

So beautiful!

Wow!

Sean, bring up the music.

( camera shutter clicking )

A little easier

with your love... softer.

It's beautiful like that.

It's great like that,

really good.

Let me have another back.

How's the hair, Sean?

It's good.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Just pull it a little bit

in the bed.

That's it, that's it, good.

WOMAN:

The veil is much too low.

Wait, wait,

wait just a minute.

Wait a minute,

let me just--

Francesco, it's

interfering with the lipstick.

All right, we know

it's the lipstick.

Yes.

Very good.

Up a little bit.

That's it, baby.

Look right at me.

Beautiful, very mysterious.

WOMAN:

Turn a bit to the right.

A bit to the

right, yes.

There you go.

A bit to the right.

Over, yeah.

The veil is much too low.

FRANCESCO:

Wait, wait, wait, just a minute.

Wait a minute,

let me just--

Francesco, it's interfering

with the lipstick.

No, no, honey,

you're interfering.

Yes, look

to the right, darling.

Wait. Chrissy, just pay

attention to me, Chrissy.

Just listen to me.

Here, let me

take this picture, no?

( shutter clicking )

Beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Great.

Yeah.

Ah, very mysterious like that.

I still think

it's too low.

I want her

all to myself. It's very distracting.

Will you give me--

You want the camera?

Do you want

to take this picture? No, darling, no.

No, you are the artist.

Let's keep going.

All right, well,

well, will you be quiet

and let me get one frame?

Yes.

Just let me get

one picture I like, Yes, darling.

without your

bickering there?

Now, come on,

give me a break.

All right.

Forget everything.

( Francesco talking

indistinctly )

Ooh, fabulous.

Oh, bravo, bravo.

You look sensational.

Fabulous, Chrissy.

Beautiful.

Oh, Chrissy, you look great.

Great like that.

Oh, let's get

this mermaid on film!

Like, wow, wow.

Give me a camera.

( Francesco giving instructions

indistinctly )

( gasps )

Beautiful like that.

Hey, man, what happened?

Is she dead?

Uh, it's closed for the day.

Stay behind the line, fellows.

MAN:

Focus. Now hold it.

Take a deep breath,

don't let me see it.

Feel the seaweed.

Wait a minute,

Bill, Bill.

Are you

uncomfortable? Steve, I was...

I was right in the

middle of a take.

Bill, look,

I just don't think this is working.

I'm sorry,

it really isn't.

I mean, what are you

trying to get at with this?

Hold that. It's great.

What's the matter?

It doesn't work.

Are you trying

to convince somebody

this is real?

( arguing continuing )

Hey, Chris, he's here--

Mr. Stuart.

( arguing continues )

I know we're

selling lipstick,

but nobody else

is going to know that.

The idea is

the woman...

( arguing continues )

Hi, Mr. Stuart!

Whoo!

Why didn't you tell me

I had to be a mountain goat?

You!

( giggles )

BILL:

Wait for the wave, the next wave.

They're still shooting.

Yeah,

they're running late.

BILL:

All right, let her out,

let her out

on the set.

Sit down.

BILL:

That's fine,

you're great, let's get,

we're getting it,

we're getting it, wait.

( Steve speaking indistinctly )

Maybe-maybe this isn't

the-the-the

right time, Kathy.

Uh...

Maybe-maybe

I just shouldn't

be here at all, huh?

She'll be

so disappointed.

Who'll be disappointed?

She really wants

to hear it.

You mean you want her

to hear it.

Uh, Kathy, will you bring

your sister's bag

from my car, please?

The small pigskin.

He drives

a small pigskin car?

( giggles )

BILL:

That's fine, you're great.

That's it.

We're getting it...

Oh, look.

Who's the, uh, masseur?

Huh?

With your sister?

Oh, that's Steve.

He works for

an advertising agency.

Ah.

They get

very friendly.

( chuckles )

Hey, Chris,

this is my music teacher,

Mr. Stuart.

Hi.

Hello.

Ooh.

( laughs )

Hi, how are you?

Fine, thank you.

You know you're Kathy's

favorite man

in the world, don't you?

Well, uh...

You've got to be a

wonderful music teacher.

STEVE:

Chris!

We're going to be ready

in a second.

Uh, I'm sorry.

No, no, no--

Delays.

It's okay, it's okay.

No, it isn't.

I should have known better.

No, it's,

it's interesting.

What, waiting around?

No.

Watching.

You're being

awfully nice.

And I really do

want to hear your music.

But...

it doesn't look like

it's going to be today.

Do you think possibly

I could come by

the school tomorrow?

Uh, yeah, sure, you can come by.

Uh, I won't be there.

I only teach on Mondays,

Wednesdays, and Fridays.

STEVE:

Chris!

Let's go, we're ready!

Uh, well, look.

Why don't

I make it easy for you.

Why don't I, why don't I

come by your place, all right?

You're just every bit as nice

as Kathy said you were.

What...?

BILL:

Wait for the wave, the next wave...

Uh, what's the address?

The Towers.

On Sunset?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I'll see you, kiddo.

All right?

See you, Mr. Stuart.

Sorry you had to come

out here for nothing.

Don't worry about it.

( seagulls screeching )

( pigeons cooing )

Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on.

( clucking )

( high-pitched whine )

( pigeons cooing

with electronic embellishment )

( wings flapping )

( sounds change pitch )

( pitch descending )

( modulated cooing )

( dissonant electronic piano )

( music stops )

( water running )

( phone ringing )

( ringing )

Hello?

Who is it?

Who?

Uh, Mr. Stuart?

Gordon, Gordon Stuart.

Mr. Gordon Stuart.

Um, okay, could you ask him

to come up, please?

Yeah, you can go up.

It's apartment 16-B.

Thank you very much.

( doorbell rings )

Come on in, Mr. Stuart.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I'm not quite ready.

You apologize too much.

Okay.

No more apologies?

Come on in.

Would you like

some tea or coffee?

No, thank you.

Maybe some beer.

I've got a terrific

French beer.

Yeah, beer would be fine.

Uh... would you mind...

helping yourself

while I get dressed?

Sure.

Thanks.

It's right there

in the fridge.

Shall I open one for you?

No, thanks.

Kathy hasn't been bugging you,

has she, about...

about listening to my stuff?

No, no,

not at all.

And I've got to say,

she's really crazy

about it.

She's beautiful.

I think so, too.

And I really want

to thank you

for being so great with her.

It's not just the music,

but it's the way

you understand her.

( chuckles ):

I think she's got one of those classic

crushes on you.

( chuckles )

How do you know Gage?

Pardon?

How do you know Sean Gage?

Oh, I met him

at some party.

An opening back

in New York.

Come on, sit down.

What were you doing,

playing "Chopsticks"

with him?

You know what,

I think we were.

He's got something to do

with classical music.

Modern classical music.

Well...

( chuckles )

Well, what I mean is not pop.

I teach the stuff.

I wrote to him once.

Wanted to send him something

I'd done.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

I like to teach.

I'm curious about what kind

of music you do.

Is it like Sean Gage?

Well...
