Petals on the Wind Page #2

to the first guy that looks your way.

You're worth more than that.

I didn't give myself to

anybody. We were just talking.

Is that what you call it?

So you're spying on me now?

Do you have any idea how

worried I was about you?

I'm sorry.

I should have called.

I'm not a child anymore.

I know you're not a child.

I've known that for a long time.

I am trying to move on and

start a life apart from you.

I'm sorry.

I can't stop thinking about you.

What happened in the attic and...

how it felt to touch you.

I know.

Do you ever think of me in that way?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I wish we could be like this forever.

What's the matter?

What is it?

I can't stay here.

What do you mean?

I'm going to New York with Julian.

What?

If I stay here,

I'm only holding you back

from the life that you deserve,

from a wife and from children.

I want to be with you.

God already punished us once.

Cathy, lots of women have miscarriages.

If that baby had been born...

We can't do this. We

can't become our parents.

You're just gonna run off

with some guy you don't know

to a strange city?

Julian believes in me.

He believes that I could be someone.

You are someone... to me.

You are the only person

who's ever really known me,

and you are the only person

I will ever truly love.

No. Don't say that.

You'll love someone else. You have to.

All right, babe, let's go.

I'll call you every week.

Take care.

I'm gonna be a big star.

I'll make you proud.

I'm proud of you just

the way that you are.

You ready to go?

We are starting our new season

with an all-new take

on "Romeo and Juliet. "

Romeo will be played by Julian Marquet,

and as for Juliet,

I am searching for a fresh

face and a fresh take.

I am not looking for

a sweet, blushing waif

who passively succumbs to

the attentions of a stranger.

I am looking for a

fierce, passionate woman

who sees Romeo

and knows instantly she

wants him in her bed.

Their love is forbidden.

It's exhilarating yet

ultimately destructive.

And they sacrifice everything...

family, country, friends,

and, ultimately, their lives.

This is where you live?

Bathroom's down the hall.

Where do you sleep?

Oh.

Okay.

What's the matter?

Not what you expected?

I guess not.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You Southern girls like

to act all shy and demure.

But now it's just you and me.

Now you're mine.

Your collarbone.

Your neck.

Your belly.

All this is mine.

I need to hear you say it.

Tell me you're mine.

I'm yours.

Nurse Clark to maternity.

Nurse Clark to maternity.

I like looking at the

little babies, too.

Oh, they're so sweet and innocent.

Hard to believe they'll

all grow up someday.

Not all of them.

Well, how are you doing today?

Good.

Thank you.

Well, I'm sure the gift shop's wondering

where I've wandered off to.

Uh, wait. Um...

I was actually, uh...

I was gonna come looking for you.

Would you want to go on a date with me,

uh, next Saturday?

You want to go out with me?

On Valentine's Day?

Oh.

I'm... I'm... I'm

sorry. I didn't realize.

You must... you must already have plans.

No, no. I... I'd love

to go out with you...

on Valentine's Day.

Okay. Um...

Okay, great.

You just made my day.

We

we shall only know the blessing

of our father's sweet caressing

when they ring the golden

bells for you and me

Good morning, girls.

Good morning, Miss Calhoun.

In this morning's announcements,

the madrigal society will

meet in the south courtyard.

Sign up with Miss

Pritchett for bridge club.

And senior girls are required

to attend etiquette

and dance instruction

for this spring's cotillion.

Now, I know you think you

don't need any instruction.

I'm wearing my mama's best

pearl choker and silk gloves.

Well, my gown is made from

the finest battenburg lace,

just like my mama wore to her debut.

What are you gonna wear

to the cotillion, Carrie?

I don't know.

Shh.

Well, I'm sure you'll

look like a real doll.

So, that being said, you all have to...

in fact, you can just

borrow this one's outfit.

It's cute.

Give it back. It's mine.

Seriously, Carrie,

why haven't you grown?

Isn't your mama worried?

Mm.

Or is she a freak, too?

Don't talk about my mother!

Miss Sheffield.

- She attacked me.

- Miss St. Morgan, if you please.

I will see you both in my

office after morning assembly.

Oh. Sorry.

Wait.

Don't go.

Do you think I'm pretty?

Carrie...

Please. I just want to know the truth.

Of course.

I think you're very pretty.

But not the way you think Cathy is.

What do you mean?

I...

I just know you like her best.

I love both of my sisters the same.

Here we go.

Present the chest.

Open the back.

Stop.

The pas de deux in "Romeo and Juliet"

is two dancers who become one.

You cannot climb down from his lift.

You need to melt into it.

Uh, Cathy, step in.

There you go.

Are you screwing him?

Unh!

Yolanda, please step in.

Why don't you see if you can manage

to stay in Romeo's arms.

Ready?

How's the knee?

You dropped me.

Well, maybe next time,

you'll try focusing instead of flirting.

I wasn't flirting. What

are you talking a...

I'm Romeo.

I am.

You're a nothing. You're a nobody.

And without me, you

wouldn't have anything.

You sure as hell wouldn't have

a place in this ballet company.

I made that happen for you.

And don't you forget it.

I'm sorry.

Aah!

All the other girls in the company

want to be with me.

Why can't you love me?

Carrie's been a little

jittery about the cotillion.

All the other girls have

their fathers to present them,

their mothers to teach

them how to curtsy,

and all poor Carrie has is me.

Well, I'd say she's pretty lucky.

My mother died the year

before my cotillion.

My poor daddy almost didn't survive.

Exactly one hour before my cotillion,

my grandmother's antique slip

just disintegrated in my hands.

So my poor widowed dad

had to make a dash to

the intimates store.

I swear... I'd never seen

my daddy's face so red.

And not just 'cause he was running.

Does she have a dress yet?

I...

I don't... I don't actually know.

I... I think Henny may

be helping her with that.

I'm not sure.

Well, if she needs anyone

to take her shopping,

I'd be happy to help.

That would be great. I...

I know she would love that.

Well, this is me.

I had a really nice time today.

It's okay.

You can kiss me.

I'd like to see you again.

I'd really like that.

Okay.

Um...

I'll call you.

Okay.

Okay.

Um...

Good night.

Good night.

Is it up?

Congrats, Yolanda.

I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations.

Better luck next time, bonita.

Principals and soloists I want to see

in the rehearsal hall in five minutes.

Long rehearsal?

Get me an aspirin, will you?

I've got a screaming headache.

Did you take Yolanda

out for some moonshine?

Last thing I need right

now is flak from you.

Give me the damn aspirin.

I'm going home.

My brother's graduating

from medical school tomorrow,

and I want to be there.
