The Beautiful Beast Page #6

way, don't you?

Well as much as you ticked

me off I'm not heartless.

So I'm lucky it was you then.

I mean, honestly, as

impossible as I thought it was,

I've actually felt really at

home here.

So, is that why you were so

bossy?

Me? Bossy?

Okay, so what you call bossy I

think was just some valid

fashion advice.

I mean, we had to break you

from all that flannel and

get rid of that whole Paul

Bunyan thing you had going on.

I mean look how much better

you look now.

It's like night and day.

I guess I was just lost

without you.

I'm glad you ended up here.

Even though I drove you crazy

most of the time?

Yeah. It was worth it.

I don't want you to leave

tomorrow.

You want me to stay here?

Yeah.

But my whole life is back in

New York.

Well, they haven't missed you

yet.

But eventually they will. And

as much as I've loved being

here with you I can't just stay

forever.

Yeah, you're right.

Jeremy...

I'm not like you. I can't just

leave it all behind.

Do you really want to go back

to that life?

Look, it's all I know. I have

too much...

Too much. Is it always about

money with you?

I never said anything about

money. I have people who care

about me.

Unlike you I can't just leave

them behind and hide away up

here.

Why don't you just go back

home?

I have nothing to go back to.

That's not true. You could start

over, start fresh. I'm sure

everybody has moved on by now.

I doubt it. What if I run

into the family or

someone who remembers?

Even that would be better than

being isolated up here

with nothing but your past just

hanging over you.

I don't expect you to

understand because you don't

face consequences.

I do too.

Really? Or do you just make

excuses and

throw money at a problem until

it disappears?

Well it's better than just

running away

with your tail between your

legs.

Just wasting your life instead

of giving yourself

a chance to have one and

actually being happy.

Who are we kidding?

You're going to go back to

your socialite crowd, your

rich lifestyle.

You have everything you need.

You'll forget about me.

I will.

It's late. The delivery guy

gets here early.

Dietrich! Sauerkraut?

Ya!

I don't eat this stuff.

Try it.

I didn't order it this time or

the last five times.

Well, keep it for emergency.

Great, so if I run out of

everything else

I'll have six jars of

sauerkraut.

We're just about done here.

Good.

Oh, did you want me to send

these clothes back to you?

No. Keep them.

Isabelle...

Goodbye.

Get out of here Dietrich.

Really I'm fine Uncle Lyle.

No, my ankle doesn't even hurt

anymore.

It was all just a big accident

but I'm home now.

Alright... I'll come and see

you tomorrow, alright?

Okay. Bye.

No, no you are correct. In

fact, I am making a note on

your account as we speak.

So, mm hmm... Okay. Thank-you

so much

for calling. You have a great

day.

Oh my gosh, you're back and

you're safe.

I'm fine.

Did you really get lost? I

never should have left you.

Um, as I recall I'm the one

who left you behind.

Yeah and then you got lost. I

just assumed you got back to

the hotel okay.

Catherine, seriously, don't

worry about a thing.

But you're fine?

I was, um... well taken care

of.

Yeah?

You know I can probably sneak

away early if you want to tell

me about it.

I have to go and see Uncle

Lyle next.

Oh, yeah yeah...

But I will call you later,

alright?

Okay, yeah sure.

See you.

Bye.

I would have riled up every

agency there is to find you if

I'd only known.

I should have told you where I

was going.

When I didn't hear from you I

assumed... Well I didn't think

it was anything serious.

It's my own fault. I didn't

expect you to think anything

was wrong

You could have been hurt, or

worse.

I was lucky. Hello.

Glad to see you've returned

safely.

Thank-you.

Perhaps this isn't the right

time for us to discuss this.

I think it is the right time.

We've discussed this at length.

She just returned from a very

traumatic ordeal.

It doesn't change anything.

Wait, what's going on?

Per the provisions in your

parents trust we are revoking

you're next inheritance

installment.

What provisions?

If the three trustees

unanimously agree we can delay

the payout until such a time as

we deem appropriate.

And we have agreed.

Isabelle, your outlandish

spending, combined with your

unacceptable public behavior...

It's not what your parents

would want.

We'll provide for your living

expenses. It'll be a minimal

amount but you'll be fine.

And beyond that, perhaps you

should find a better use of your

time. Something more meaningful.

Look, this whole Switzerland

thing...

It's demonstrated just how

reckless you've become.

We feel that this is about

your safety and protection

as much as the preservation of

your future.

Alright.

Alright?

It's fine.

The money was meant to provide

for you Isabelle, but it won't

keep you happy forever.

I know.

Eleven carats...

And she's not going to give it

back?

No! She thinks she can keep

it.

But he called off the

engagement. Probably to get

that giant rock back.

She's not worth eleven carats.

Oh poor Dan though. Right

Isabelle?

Yeah.

He should sue her.

I heard that he might on

grounds of an affair.

She didn't!

Hey... are you busy tonight?

Your uncle really cut you off?

Yup. But I don't blame him.

You are unusually calm about

this.

No seriously you are starting

to freak me out. What happened

to you over there?

I realized I have everything

that money can buy.

Yeah?

So isn't it a little odd that

I don't have everything I

want?

What more could you want?

To be happy. I mean, when I

got there it drove me crazy.

But then it was so peaceful

and calm and quiet. I actually

really liked it.

The quiet? Or the quiet with

a good looking guy?

Did I say he was good looking?

You just did.

Yeah he is.

So give me the rundown on this

guy.

I was horrible to him and he

told me so. And it made me

feel disappointed.

How?

In myself. You know? Like for

the first time, maybe ever,

it actually bothered me that I

had hurt someone else.

I've been pretty terrible to

you too.

Not terrible...

Terrible. I held money over

your head just like you said.

And basically guilted you into

doing whatever I wanted you to

do.

Why?

Because I wanted you around.

Because... maybe I

didn't want to lose the one

real friend that I had.

And you thought the money

thing was the way to do it?

Yes I did.

Isabelle, I am friends with

you in spite of the money.

Really?

Yeah. Wow, this guy really got

through to you.

Do you miss him?

Yeah.

You should try and see him.

I'm pretty sure he'd rather

just forget all about me. He

asked me to stay, but...

You said no.

Yup.

And now you've changed your

mind?

Well I only said I didn't want

to stay there.

It didn't mean I didn't want to

be with him at all.

Isabelle, I have seen you

chase loser guys all the time.

This one's better than that and
