54. INT. AUDREY HORNE'S ROOM - EVENING

Audrey is dancing by herself in the middle of the room, swaying slowly and sensually to the music. Benjamin opens the door and looks in, Audrey doesn't see him at first. Ben walks over to the stereo and turns off the music. Audrey sees him, looks at him with some attitude.

BENJAMIN How many times have I asked you not to disturb the guests with this racket?

AUDREY About four thousand times

BENJAMIN ( getting right to the point ) Audrey, Julie tells me you were in with the Norwegians just before they all suddenly decided en masse to go back to the Old Country without signing the contract. Is that true?

AUDREY Yes.

BENJAMIN You wouldn't have done or said anything that might have precipitated their evacuation, would you? I'm assuming it was just a coincidence

AUDREY Daddy, I did go in to check out that ridiculous smorgasboard, and while I was in there I happened to mention I was sad --

BENJAMIN

About what?

AUDREY

( smiles )

About my dear, close friend Laura being brutally murdered.

BENJAMIN

( red hot )

Wipe that smile off your face, young lady. Do you realize the kind of money your little performance cost this family? If you ever pull a stunt like that again you'll be scrubbing bidets in a Bulgarian convent.

AUDREY

( mocking )

Oh, Daddy, I'm so afraid.

BENJAMIN

( pauses, very cold )

Laura died two days ago. I lost you years ago.

He exits.

Betty is sitting on the bed opposite. Rita opens the hat.box and removes her purse. She opens the purse and takes out the money. She sits down on the bed and while staring at. the money, she thinks of what to say.

RITA

You' ve been so good to me ... now we know why . . . why I was so afraid. We know what kind of trouble I'm in. I shouldn’t ... ask you . . . I only have this to offer. I'll give you this if I can stay here for awhile. I don't know what else to do.

Betty moves across the bed to the side of Rita . She puts her arm around Ri ta and holds her.

BETI'Y

Rita . . . I want you to stay here and you don' t have to give me that money.

RITA

But I want to.

BETTY

No. We shouldn't touch that money. We don't know about that money. That might be dangerous money. You have to start all over again. You look like a brand new person and you can be a brand new person. .. whoever you want to be.

RITA

It sounds kind of nice . .. being somebody brand new.

BETI'Y

Hey, let's introduce the brand new you to Hollywood. We haven' t seen the roof garden yet.
