Point of Terror Page #3

---

These things take time.

Such an impatient little boy.

You playing with me?

I thought you were

a woman of action.

I wasn't bluffing.

Action is what

we're talking about.

It's been a week,

I haven't seen any.

Look, all I have to do

is pick up that phone,

And dial.

You won't forget

our arrangement?

I won't forget.

Mike Abrams, please.

Mrs. Hilliard.

Hello, Mike?

Andrea.

Mike, I found a singer

with one hell of a voice.

I want him under contract.

He's polished, professional.

Mm, three years.

Well, of course options.

Tony Trelos.

Trelos:
T-R-E-L-O-S.

S, is in sex.

We'll be in in the morning.

No, I want it done immediately.

You'll meet him then.

Don't worry, this one's

different, he'll hit.

Thank you, Mike.

Well?

Starting tomorrow,

you're in my hands.

Why wait until tomorrow?

I have a dream to desperation

Waiting for some word or sign

Now it's time for celebration

Her eyes told me she was mine

Life beats turning

into love beats

Love beats turning

into life beats

Life beats turning

into love beats

Moving in taking over me

Life's a drummer but

in my heart's a drum

Love the music

gotta get me some

Take it from the top!

It was okay, but take it,

I'm sorry.

Okay, yeah I got it.

Life beats turning

into love beats

Love beats turning

into life beats

Life's a drummer and

my heart's a drum

Love the music

gotta give me some

Seems I spent

my years searchin'

For the answer to life's game

Is it power

Is it money

Am I more than just a name

Then last night

for one small moment

I looked behind her face

All at once I got the message

Everything fell into place

Life beats turning

into love beats

Love beats turning

into life beats

Life beats turning

into love beats

Moving in and taking over me

Hello?

Yes?

Well, if you think

he's that good,

just go ahead and

activate the contract

and release the record.

Sure, give it a big build-up.

If it means money in my

pocket, I'm all for it.

But, let me tell you something.

After this record, that's it.

I'll see to it

the son of a b*tch

doesn't make another record

for the next five years.

Hey, Fran, listen.

If you're husband's such

a teetotaler like you say,

how come you're

married, ya know?

Clarence?

He didn't even know I drank

until one night I

came home sober.

Well, you ladies are

gonna have to excuse me.

Give 'em hell, honey.

I'll see ya later, Tony.

okay-

- He's beautiful.

Can I get you anything else?

Two of the same.

If I had what she's got, I'd

have them dipped in gold.

You're pretty satisfied with

yourself, aren't you, chickie?

You mean helping Tony?

I mean the whole scene.

What's he got to give you?

Kicks.

He's using you.

We're using each other.

Well, at least you're honest.

Look, I hope you don't

think I flipped for this guy.

I mean, that would really be

pretty foolish, wouldn't it?

Martin needs me to hate,

it's what keeps him alive.

Oh, Andrea.

Hate is no different than love.

It's what keeps the world going.

Don't worry about Martin.

I can take care of him.

The water's marvelous.

Hey, do you think this

is such a good idea?

He might hear us.

Martin take

a pill at 11 o'clock.

He's out cold.

You know, you got

a nice place here.

It's got everything.

Uh uh, I've got everything.

I need help, will you?

Yeah.

You ready?

Are you?

Yep-

Hey, I better be going, huh?

It's 4 o'clock in the morning.

Are you sure you won't

stay and have another drink?

Are you kidding?

I'll call you in the

morning, huh, baby?

Good night.

Good night, Tony.

Martin!

Yeah, Martin.

You had to do it, didn't you?

You had to bring him here, you

had to throw him in my face!

No, no, Martin, it's

not what you think.

No, no, it's not what I think.

Then tell me, what is it?

He's a client.

He just cut a record for us,

we were out discussing business.

Sure, you think just because

I'm confined to this chair

that I don't know

what's going on.

Listen, I know all about him.

Everything!

The record, the

contract, everything!

Alright, alright.

So, a man shows me a little

attention, kisses me.

From where I was sitting,

it looked like you were

doing all the work.

Alright, I'll fix it so

he never works again.

You lose him and I'll fix you.

So help me, I'll fix

you, I'll divorce you,

I'll cut you off without a cent.

And you know I can do it.

You know that, don't you?

- Don't you?

- Oh, I know, I know.

I've lived with you enough years

to know how

vindictive you can be.

Would you like to know

why I've stayed with you

all these years?

Because I felt sorry

for you, that's why,

you miserable cripple.

I hate you!

Ow!

" Ow!"

No!

To r0!

Toro! Toro! Toro!

Toro, toro, toro!

Ole.

"lnto your

hands, I commend my spirit."

"You will redeem me, O

Lord, O faithful God."

"You hate those who

worship vain idols,"

"but my trust is in the Lord."

"I will rejoice and be

glad of your kindness,"

"when you have

seen my affliction,"

"and watched over

me in my distress,"

"not shutting me up in

the grip of the enemy,"

"enabling me to

move about at large."

"Have pity on me, O Lord,

for I am in distress,"

"with sorrow my eye is consumed,

my soul, also, and my body."

"For my life is spent

with grief, and my"

years with sighing.

"My strength has failed

through affliction,"

"and my bones are consumed."

"For all my foes I am

an object of reproach,"

"a laughingstock to

my neighbors, and a"

dread to my friends.

"They who see me

abroad flee from me.

"I am forgotten like

the unremembered dead,

"I am like a dish

that is broken.

"I hear the whispers

of the crowd,

"that frighten me

from every side,

"as they consult

together against me,

"plotting to take my life.

"But my trust is in you, O Lord.

"I say, "You are my God."

"In your hands is my destiny,"

"rescue me from the

clutches of my enemies"

"and my persecutors."

You didn't know

about her, did you?

No, Andrea never

mentioned Helayne.

She never would,

they hate each other.

From where I'm standing,

they look like old buddies.

They have a lot to iron out.

She hasn't seen

the kid for years.

She's been away at school.

She never lived with

Martin and Andrea?

God, no.

When Martin fell in

love with Andrea,

his wife wouldn't

give him a divorce.

But that didn't stop my chickie.

No, it wouldn't.

They carried on that affair

right under the wife's nose.

Made her life

miserable, poor thing.

Anyway, she was killed.

Murdered by somebody who

broke into the house.

It hit Helayne hard,

she was only 10.

Chickie didn't want

a kid around, anyway.

She just wanted the luxuries.

She went through a whole

fortune in parties and yachts,

and dances, dresses,

the whole shot.

She shipped Helayne

from school to school,

and when the kid

finally turned 14,

she sent her off to Europe.

That's where she's

been ever since.

They never saw each

other, then, huh?

Oh, on holidays.

But Andrea always managed

to be off somewhere.
