A middle-aged blonde, in a beige Juicy Couture sweat suit,

across the hall in her doorway signs for her room service and

person.

Jesus.

look out over the pool.

MARGE (O.S.)

...and you need to be in Milan

Wednesday, we can fly you out

tomorrow night, or Tuesday...

and smiles, opening her top, flashing him with an inviting

giggle.

surrounded by a mural.

In the living room:

PUPI, the Italian distributor in a flashy suit, is there with

his group of people working on the movie premier.

Hello Johnny, can I talk to you?

She pulls him aside off the hall. He goes along, seeming to

have no choice, she’s not really asking a question.

Cleo sits on a gold couch to the side of all the activity,

doing Sudoku puzzles.

From the hallway, we can hear Sylvia letting him have it.

Buongiorno....Yes, What kind of

gelato do you have?...ok, we’d like
