LINDA:

There's only one Vince Benedict.

He's a force of nature.

MARNIE:

And that 'poetry' he pretends to

write. They're old song lyrics,

Linda.

Linda stops pushing the cart and looks at her.

LINDA:

I know that -- Geez, you don't

think I know that -- ?

(soft)

It's so cute, the way he thinks

he's tricking me. Anyway, what's

wrong about other people's songs?

Some guys tell you dirty jokes.

It just proves that Vince has a

romantic soul.

CUT TO:

MAGAZINE RACK:

Adjacent to the express checkout lane where Linda and

Marnie now join the line. Julius picks up a Playboy and

begins speed-reading it. His eyes widen at what he's

reading, and seeing, and when he reaches the centerfold

he audibly gasps.

MARNIE (O.S.)

Excuse me.

She reaches past Julius to take a copy of Cosmopolitan.

Julius drops the Playboy, which falls open on the ground,

with the centerfold revealed. Flustered and blushing, he

bends down to retrieve it, watched by Marnie, who can't

take her eyes off the sheer beauty of his physique.

MARNIE:

(looking at the

centerfold)

She's not bad...

JULIUS:

(embarrassed)

I'm sorry. I had no idea these

magazines had things like that...

inside them.

Julius tries to stuff the centerfold back into the maga-

zine, but only manages to crumple it. Linda and Marnie

exchange a look.

MARNIE:

You didn't? Where've you been?

(gulping)

A desert island?

JULIUS:

As a matter of fact, a small

tropical island, in the South

Pacific, about 300 nautical miles

south-southwest of Fiji. I only

got here yesterday, but already *

I've found my wonderful brother. *

*

MARNIE:

Your brother?

VINCE (O.S.)

That's right...

They all turn and look at Vince, who's pulled his cart

up behind them.

JULIUS:

(proudly)

My twin brother, Vincent.

Linda and Marnie, stunned, look from Vince to Julius.

VINCE:

(to Linda)

God you look beautiful in this

light.

LINDA:

Vince... ? I didn't know you had

a brother.

JULIUS:

You all know each other?

VINCE:

Julius, meet Linda and...

(sarcastic)

Her charming sister, Marnie.

JULIUS:

(significant)

Sisters?

MARNIE:

(to Julius)

Twins?

B68 OUTSIDE THE SUPERMARKET B68

The girls stand holding their bags while the brothers

are each in their cars.

VINCE:

(waving)

Goodbye girls, see you soon.

And he guns off.

JULIUS:

(waving)

Goodbye girls, see you soon.

And he guns off too -- only in his excitement he's gone

into reverse.

JULIUS:

(embarrassed)

I've only been drivng for an hour.

Now he follows Vince.

MARNIE:

Why do I think I'm going to see

him again?

(beat)

Like maybe tomorrow.

68 EXT. VINCE'S HOME - NIGHT 68

Vince leads Julius from the garage to the front door.

Julius is carrying all the grocery bags.

JULIUS:

Linda is your girl friend, isn't

she?

VINCE:

Yeah. Kind of.

JULIUS:

Is Marnie your girl friend, too?

VINCE:

Marnie! Marnie hates my guts.

She seemed to like you.

JULIUS:

(trying not to sound

too interested)

She hardly knows me.

A beat.

VINCE:

That's the best way -- women love

men who are mysterious and devious.

It keeps them on their toes --

makes them excited you know what

I mean?

JULIUS:

No.

VINCE:

You do like women, don't you?

JULIUS:

Very much, they're... strange

and sensitive and they have

compassion. I have the highest

respect for women.
