Seems like a nice kid.

Oh, she's a doll.

And did you see the

look in Andrea's eyes

when she saw Helayne?

Girl's turned into

a real beauty.

Yeah, she has.

I think now, more

than ever before,

Andrea would like to

have Helayne gone.

Would she go back to Europe?

I don't know.

One thing for sure, they

can't live with each other.

They'd be fighting like animals.

It's not gonna be

too easy for chickie.

It's Helayne's home, as

well as Andrea's, now.

What are they talking

about out there?

Business, I imagine.

What else would be on

Andrea's mind right now?

There's National, and this

house, and other properties,

stocks, bonds,

companies all over.

Martin had a real little empire.

And it belongs to

both of them now.

50/50, right down the middle.

I better be going.

I mean, the only

reason I came by

is because Andrea asked me to.

That was before

she knew Helayne was coming.

Leaving already?

I better.

Why?

Helayne, remember?

Playing Mother?

I can't exactly ignore her.

Honey, fix me another

drink, will you please?

You drink too much.

I do everything too much!

Yeah.

Tony, what are

you doing in my bag?

Looking for some matches.

Hey, what's this?

Pick up pills, now

don't be so nosy!

Yeah, they go great with liquor.

I'm leaving.

What are you doing tomorrow?

I'm up to my neck in lawyers.

Why?

Thought we might take a trip.

Trip?

Only takes two hours

to get to Tijuana.

Tijuana, what for?

People get married

there in 15 minutes.

Oh, tony.

Well, excuse me for laughing,

but it struck me so funny.

You've

got to be kidding.

But, why not?

You're free now.

I mean, Martin's dead.

Well, exactly, free.

Free to do as I please.

I have plans.

Plans that

I don't fit into?

You fit, you fit, but

the way I want you to fit.

Look, I had nine stinkin'

miserable years of marriage.

Yeah, well, you

wanted me badly enough

when he was alive,

though, didn't you?

Not as a husband.

Look, you know what I need.

You give me that.

I'm satisfied.

You don't, and I'll

get someone who will.

Look, I'm not one

of those beach bums

that you ran around with.

No, you're not!

At least they had

a little class.

Look who's talking about class.

Money, money makes me class!

It's what you haven't got.

What you thought you'd

have by marrying me.

I can blow your entire career.

A few words from me about

how difficult you are,

how talentless.

So much so, that we're really

afraid to release that record.

Yes, I'd say I win, you lose.

Ole.

That's right baby, I

never left, I saw it all.

It was an accident, Tony.

The police listed

it as an accident.

Mhm.

I can change all of that.

You bastard!

Now who's got the

cards stacked, hm?

I'll tell them we

were in it together.

You think I'm afraid?

If I go down, you come with me.

You're bluffing, baby.

You're scared.

"Am I?"

Here, then call the police.

We'll see who's scared.

No career, no money,

nothing but a cell.

You do exactly as

I say from now on,

Mr. Tony Trelos.

And like the agent said,

don't call me, I'll call you.

Hey, Charlie, where's Sally?

She went home, Tony.

She wasn't feeling well.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Hi there, Lover.

What are you doing here?

I'm getting smashed.

Where's Andrea?

On a trip.

Where'd she go?

I don't know, she said she

had to get away and think.

Boy, was she in a foul mood.

What did you two

do, have a fight?

Nope.

Well, I sure hope she's

better when she gets back.

When's she coming back?

In her mood, at least a month.

Hey, Charlie, hit

me again, will ya?

And bring one for

Curly.

You sure you can handle another?

Uh huh.

If she has one more drink,

Tony, she'll start stripping.

I know, she's done it before.

I'll get her out of here.

Well, there she goes.

Hey, what are you

celebrating, huh?

I'm taking a breather

from my babysitting chores.

Need a lift?

Who else?

I'm staying at the house while

Andrea's away.

That's not bad.

It's a bore.

All I do is sit

around the house and worry.

Easy does it, Tempest Storm.

And what a house, huh?

That's what I'd like to know.

If I had all her money,

and all her looks.

Hey, hey, hey, come on.

Something tells me I

better take you home, huh?

You Will?

Let's go.

Bye, Charlie.

What do they see in him?

Something they don't

see in you, Charlie.

Wee!

Hey, where's your keys, huh?

I refuse to be raped.

Here.

Ah.

Yeah.

Mm, yeah.

Yeah.

Weee.

Hey, where's your room, huh?

Up there.

Ah.

Hey, go straight to bed, huh?

Mm, would you like to

tuck me in?

No, I guess you wouldn't.

Ciao, Tony.

Ciao.

Hi.

I remember you at Dad's funeral.

Yeah, Tony Trelos.

Helayne.

I brought home

a very drunk Fran.

Oh, I see.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

No, thank you.

Here's your keys.

Her car is at the parking lot.

She'll have to go down

to pick it up tomorrow.

I Will.

Is it any good?

So-so.

Well, I better be going.

Good night.

Good night.

Good morning, Helayne?

Yeah, this is Tony Trelos.

How's Fran?

Hey, did you finish the book?

That means you're

free, then, huh?

Listen, I know where there

are two of the sweetest horses

you've ever seen.

You wanna go riding?

Okay, I'll pick you

up in 15 minutes.

Yeah.

Okay, goodbye.

Life beats turning

into love beats

Love beats turning

into life beats

Life's a drum but

in my heart's a drum

Love the music

gotta get me some

Seems I've spent

my years searchin'

For the answer to life's game

Is it power

Is it money

Am I more than just a name

Remember 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

Life's a drum but

in my heart's a drum

Love the music

gotta get me some

Had enough?

Well, I had

enough for two people.

You can really cook.

Thank you.

You know, I've been wanting

to tell you this all week.

I've just had a marvelous time.

I've really had a lot of fun.

I'm glad.

I don't remember having

as much fun as I've had.

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 love beats

Love beats turning

into life beats

Life beats turning

into love beats

Moving in taking over me

Life's a drummer and

my heart's a drum

Love the music

gotta get me some

Life beats turning

into love beats

Love beats turning

into life beats

Life beats turning

into love beats

Movin' in and taking over me

Life's a drum but

in my heart's a drum

Love the music

gotta get me some

Life keeps turning

into love beats

Love beats turning

into life beats

Life beats turning

into love beats

Movin' in and taking over me

Hey!

Hey, wait a minute, young lady.

I wanna talk to you.

- Come on.

- I'm in a hurry!

Oh, you've been in a

hurry for a whole week now.

Come on, sit down,

I wanna talk to you.
