He makes small talk about the pickled seaweed breakfast and
jet lag, they commiserate about having not slept in days.
BOB:
What about you? Why are you here?
CHARLOTTE:
My husband's here for work-he's a
photographer- and I just came
along...I'm not really doing anything
right now, and we have some friends
who live here.
BOB:
How long have you been married?
CHARLOTTE:
Two years.
BOB:
Try twenty-five.
CHARLOTTE:
You're probably just having a mid-
life crisis. Did you buy a Porche?
BOB:
CHARLOTTE:
25 years... that's a long time...
Are you still in love with your wife?
BOB:
Yes... I don't know, I don't know
her anymore. I don't know if you can
be in love with one person the whole
time. I was... actually I was in
love with her sister first, when I
was twenty-one. And one day her sister
said to me she wanted to move to
Paris, so I said okay, and she said
no, she wanted to move to Paris with
Francois, and she's still married
to him. And I moved in with Lydia...
but I always really liked Lydia.
CHARLOTTE:
(amused with too much
info)
Oh.
BOB:
What do you do?
CHARLOTTE:
I'm not sure, yet... I graduated
last spring.
BOB:
What did you study?
CHARLOTTE:
Philosophy.
BOB:
Oh, what do you do with that?
CHARLOTTE:
I don't know, but I can think about
it, a lot.
BOB:
It takes a while to figure it out.
I'm sure you will, though.
CHARLOTTE:
Thanks. I'm sure your mid-life crisis
will work out,too.
BOB:
Thanks.
They clink glasses.
CHARLOTTE:
I wish I could sleep BOB Me, too.
CUT TO:
The hotel is filled with business people. A dressed up FAMILY
is going to lunch. We follow a jet-lagged Charlotte and John,
as they walk down the lobby hall.
An energetic blonde actress, KELLY, pops up to them. (She's
carrying a copy of Memoirs of a Geisha.)
John, who was holding Charlotte's hand, drops it.
KELLY:
John! What are you doing here?
JOHN:
I'm just here shooting this band,
what about you?
KELLY:
Promoting that action movie I did...
She does a karate chop and laughs.
KELLY:
...doing like twenty million
interviews a day... It's soo good to
see you. How long are you here for?
JOHN:
We're here for the week. I'm shooting
in Osaka for a few days.
KELLY:
It's amazing there!
JOHN:
Have you met Charlotte? My wife.
KELLY:
No! Hi! So great to meet you!
CHARLOTTE:
Hi, nice to meet you.
KELLY:
You know, John, you're my favorite
photographer, I only want to be shot
by you.
Charlotte looks at John.
JOHN:
Uh..thanks.
KELLY:
(as she fans out her
top)
Sorry if I have the worst B.O., I've
been sweating in this little room
with T.V. lights for hours...
Kelly, giggling and acting all too comfortable with herself,
is eating up all the oxygen around them.
JOHN:
Oh no...
KELLY:
(with a big smile)
...Well, I have the worst headache,
I have to go find some aspirin. But,
call me, let's have a drink, I'm
under Evelyn Waugh.
Kelly giggles. Charlotte smirks.
JOHN:
Ok, see you later.
And Kelly and her make-up artist and publicist are off. John
and Charlotte continue.
CHARLOTTE:
Evelyn Waugh?
JOHN:
What?
CHARLOTTE:
Evelyn Waugh was a man.
John shrugs.
JOHN:
Oh, c'mon, she's nice. Not everyone
went to Yale.
