Brian and Diane are driving back to Malibu and they're
not even looking at each other. She finally looks
at Brian.
DIANE
(breaking up)
Brian, ......I'm sorry, I
just don't know what got
into me back there at the
restaurant. It just seems
wherever we go, there's
always some woman that you
know.
Brian is silent and doesn't respond.
DIANE
I don't know what it is, but
I get so jealous when other
women are always hitting on
you. Please talk to me.
BRIAN
Diane, I have nothing to say
to you, that hasn't already
been said, please leave it
the way it is.
DIANE
(pleading)
Please stay with me tonight.
BRIAN
No way, you'll probably put
the knife in me while I'm
sleeping.
DIANE
If you don't stay with me
tonight I'm going to jump
out of the car.
(she starts to grab
the door handle)
I mean it, I'll jump!
Brian slows down the car and pulls over to the side of
the road and stops. He looks at Diane who still has
her hand on the door handle.
BRIAN
Ok, go ahead and jump!
DIANE
(coming unglued)
I ... think ...I ....will!
Yes, I will jump into the
ocean!
She opens the door and runs across the sand to the
breakers. Brian, turns off the car and pulls on the
emergency blinkers and jumps out of the car and runs
after her. He's ten yards behind her and he stumbles
and falls. He looks up from the sand and sees her
jump into the breakers.
BRIAN
(yelling at the top
of his voice)
Diane, ......Diane, .....don't
be stupid.
(he jumps into the breakers)
Diane, I'll stay with you.
( he reaches out and grabs
her and pulls her back to
the beach)
Diane, you crazy kid. I'll stay
with you as long as you want.
They both lay on the beach exhausted and Brian grabs
her and hugs her and he very tenderly kisses her.
They stay embraced and continue to kiss.
DIANE
Brian, don't ever leave me.
BRIAN
Why do you want me, when you can
have anyone in Hollywood.
DIANE
(crying)
I just want you Brian!

INT. MALIBU - DIANE'S HOME NIGHT
Brian and Diane are taking a shower together. He
finishes first and grabs a towel.
BRIAN
May I borrow some clothes
until my suit is dry?
DIANE
(shouting above the
noise of the shower)
Check the guest bedroom, I
think there're some men's
clothes in there.
BRIAN
Thanks.
Brian walks down the hallway and stops in the family
room where he looks around. He sees a personal phone
book and opens it and on the first page she sees
mom and dad and a phone number. He takes a slip of
paper and writes down the number. He goes to the
guest bedroom and looks in the closet and finds some
clothes. He dresses and walks back into the family
room. He places the paper in his pocket.
DIANE
(Diane walks in)
I see you found some clothes.
(she rubs his neck)
It sure was romantic showering
together.
BRIAN
It was nice.
DIANE
It was nice? That's the best
you can do?
BRIAN
(making a face)
Well, here we go again.
DIANE
Oh relax, if making love in
the shower doesn't grab you
I'm not going to argue with
you about it.
BRIAN
(serious)
The ups and downs of this
relationship are really
getting to me.
DIANE
Don't take me so serious,
most of the time it's just
an act. Remember this is
what I do, .....act!
BRIAN
(disbelieving)
Oh yeah sure, the cutting of
my two tires was just an act?
DIANE
No I wasn't acting, just very
mad at you when you told me to
take a bus home. I would never
do that to you.
BRIAN
My ego was damaged and I was
shooting from the hip.
DIANE
Don't be such a baby, I'll
pay you for the tires.
BRIAN
What about the jumping in
the ocean? Was that an act?
DIANE
Of course it was an act, you
don't think I would kill
myself for a man do you?
BRIAN
Well in all honesty, no I
don't think you would kill
yourself for anybody, much
less me.
DIANE
Don't beat you self up
about it.
BRIAN
Ok you win, I've had a belly
full of your rudeness, acting
and vandalism for one night.
As far as I'm concerned, your
crazy and you should seek
professional help.
DIANE
You mean a shrink?
BRIAN
Yes a shrink.
DIANE
What does a shrink have
to do with good or bad
acting?
BRIAN
You know, that's the whole
problem. I don't know when
you're acting.
DIANE
If you can't handle a
relationship like this
then, we should stop
seeing each other. Some
people like adventure.
Keeps you from getting
bored.
BRIAN
Your right, we should stop
seeing each other!

BRIAN
Hello, ......Brian.
DR. DUVALL (V.O.)
Hello my friend Brian, this
is Sebastian. How are you?
BRIAN
Fine. What's up?
DUVALL (V.O.)
You asked the other day about
a friend wanting to get on the
program, oui? well I have good
news for you. She has to sign
her life away so we don't get
sued, but yes she can get on it.
BRIAN
Great. .......What do you need
from me?
DUVALL (V.O.)
I will send you the twelve page
release today. Have her fill it
out, have it notarized and get
it back to me and we can start
immediately. Ok!
BRIAN
Very good Sebastian, very good.
I owe you one, thanks again, ok?

BRIAN
Hello, this is Brian.
DIANE (V.O.)
(softly)
Are you still mad at me?
BRIAN
(trying)
I don't know, is this for real
or an act?
DIANE (V.O.)
(pleading)
What do you think? Look I need
to see you tonight, It's very
important. Well?
BRIAN
Sebastian called last night and
has gotten permission to put you
on the program, that is if you
still want to?
DIANE (V.O.)
(yelling, softly)
All right! ....All right!
Thanks, Brian you wont
be sorry, I promise
you. See you tonight!
(she hangs up)
BRIAN
(hears the click)
I never said I could make it.
(he hangs up)
Brian sits up in his bed and looks at himself in
his dresser mirror.
BRIAN
(talking to himself)
You'll be sorry!
CUT TO
INT. MALIBU DIANE'S HOUSE EVENING
Brian is sitting in the living room with Diane and her
parents, David and Nancy sterling. David is in his early
sixties and very distinguished looking. Nancy is in her
early fifties and looks like a model.
BRIAN
Nice meeting you Mr. and Mrs.
Sterling.
DIANE
I brought all of you here to
celebrate our good fortune.
We're now into venture capital.
The first one is Western
Pharmaceuticals.
Brian almost falls out of his chair.
DAVID
I hope this doesn't come as a
surprise to you Mr. Powers, but
were always looking around for
a good investment, and Diane
said you felt the company has
a lot of potential. We feel the
LEONX 85 ELIXER will be a real
big money maker.
(he sees Brian look
sternly at Diane)
Oh don't worry, all of the family
dealings are privileged information.
BRIAN
I could get fired if they found
out I told Diane about the Leonx 85.
NANCY
Brian, please don't concern yourself
with that. We promise you no one
will ever find out.
BRIAN
(getting even)
Are you both aware Diane has asked
to become a member of the control
group?
(looking at David)
Do you want her to be on the
program Mr. Sterling?
DAVID
Quite frankly, I want
whatever she wants.
NANCY
She said no one in the control
group has aged in the last ten
years, true?
BRIAN
That's true, but we still don't
know what the long term affects
will be.
DAVID
The investment is substantial.
Our money and our daughter
are in the program.
BRIAN
When I receive the release
documents I want you to read
them before she signs them.
DAVID
Oh don't worry, we'll read
everything carefully and so
will our attorney.
BRIAN
Sebastian called me today
and he's forwarding the
documents by express mail.
DAVID
Well, I think we should
all do a toast to the
beginning of a beautiful
relationship.
They all toast champagne and continue to converse
on the program.
CUT TO:
INT. MALIBU DIANE'S HOUSE MORNING
Diane and Brian are having breakfast and Brian
is staring at Diane. She notices this and makes
a remark.
DIANE
What?
BRIAN
Something is bothering me.
Did someone put pressure
in the right places to
get you on the program?
DIANE
I mentioned it to our
attorney and he said
he would look into it.
BRIAN
Your attorney is very
good.
DIANE
He better be for what
we pay him.
BRIAN
You're a remarkable
person. Do you always
get what you want?
DIANE
(smiling)
Always!
She gets up and walks around the back of Brian
and puts her arms around him and kisses his neck,
then his cheek, then his lips. Whispering softly.
DIANE
I want you and I will
get you.
BRIAN
Acting again uh?
DIANE
(still smiling)
I've only said that to
three men in my whole
life. One died, one
left me and the other
one is with me now!
BRIAN
I'll have to say one thing
my dear. It's never a dull
moment with you!
DIANE
(still holding him)
Why do you call women,
"My Dear"?
BRIAN
(smirking)
Because I have so many women,
I fear I'll wake up in bed
sometime and not remember her
name, or call her by the wrong,
name!
DIANE
(tickling Brian)
You ....You ......
(she pulls him down
on the kitchen floor
and makes love to him)
When I get done the only
name you will ever have to
remember is DIANE!
BRIAN
Help, mother help!
DIANE
When I get done with you
not even your mother will
be able to help you.
BRIAN
(yelling)
MOMMY!

Brian is sitting at the bar talking to his friend
JAKE, the bartender.
BRIAN
(stroking the beer)
I can't believe how easy it
was dumping that witch. It's
been two months and not even
a phone call from her.
Jake glances in his general direction and shakes his
head.
JAKE
(placing another beer in
front of Brian)
Don't count your chickens before
they hatch. Did you use proper
precautions when you were making
love to her?
BRIAN
(smiling)
Well I did at first then I showed
her my card from the clinic proving
I was free from HIV, and I looked at
her card, and she was clean. Why?
JAKE
Is she on the pill?
BRIAN
I think so, why?
JAKE
She will call you and tell
you she has missed her period
and what should she do?
BRIAN
Jake, you've been watching
too many soap opera's.
JAKE
The girlfriend from Jersey
called me two months to the
day and informed me that I
was going to be a daddy.
BRIAN
What then?
JAKE
The bars getting full, we'll
talk next time.
(whispering)
By the way, that red head at
the end of the bar bought you
the last drink, she's looking
this way now, wave to her.
BRIAN
(Brian waves and smiles)
Oh dear, I think I'll go
home.
The red head walks over to Brian and sits down next
to him and leans over and speaks.
RED HEAD
Hi slim, the name is Brenda,
and I'm a stew out of L.A.
BRIAN
I'm Brian from west L.A. and I'm
a drug dealer, how are you?
BRENDA
Hey not too loud, I think the guy
at the end of the bar is a cop.

Oh that's ok I have a license to
sell drugs.

Hello ....Brian .....
DIANE (V.O.)
Hi Brian, I hate to bother you
but something very important
has come up and I need to see
you tonight, can you come over?
BRIAN
Can't you tell me what the problem
is over the phone, I'm really tired.
DIANE (V.O.)
No I can't, you need to come over
don't let me have to beg!
BRIAN
Ok, I'll leave now, but this better
be important.
DIANE (V.O.)
Oh, it's very important, you know
I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't.
BRIAN
You're not pregnant are you?
DIANE (V.O.)
No of course not, what do you
think I am some kind of a nut?
BRIAN
Oh, I just thought it was some
kind of a trick to get us back
together.
DIANE (V.O.)
I'm not going to toss my career
into the wind just to have a
kid. The trip will be very, very
worthwhile, believe me.
CUT TO:
INT. DIANE'S HOME EVENING
Diane has given Brian a drink and is sitting across
from him in the family room.
DIANE
Brian, my father is very heavily
vested in Western and is in
the position to cast a strong
vote in the new management rank
and file. He's in the position
to put you in for Vice president,
If your interested.
BRIAN
Of course I want to be a Vice
President, but what do I have
to do?
DIANE
Nothing, absolutely nothing, just
take the job if they offer it to
you.
BRIAN
Why are you doing this for me?
DIANE
Believe it or not, .......I
still have deep feelings for
you. It's not your fault that
I'm too hard to handle, but
that's me!
BRIAN
(feeling bad)
Diane, .......I still have
deep feelings for you too.
I would just rather break
as friends, then end up as
enemy's.
DIANE
(rolling up her eyes
and looking at him)
You know we can't be just
friends. The water runs too
deep between us to be just
friends.
Diane places both hands on Brian's shoulders and comes
face to face. She looks deep into his eyes.
DIANE
Don't you miss me just
a little bit?
BRIAN
Of course I miss you, that's
a silly question.
Coming face to face again with Diane, stirs the strong
feelings he has for her. He reach's out with his finger
and caresses her lips, they get closer than begin a
very passionate kiss.
CLOSE ON DIANE
DIANE
Please Brian, can't we give
it another try?
BRIAN
Oh I don't know Diane, part
of me say's yes and another
part says no.
DIANE
(Grabbing his hand and
leading him into her
bedroom)
I want to show you something.
She leads him to the side of her bed where an end
table has a framed picture. The picture is of his
license plate "CANDYMAN".
BRIAN
(smiling)
I thought you didn't like my
license plate?
DIANE
I didn't at first, but I do now.
He takes her in his arms and gives her another kiss.

INT. DIANE'S HOME MORNING
Brian is having breakfast with Diane and she scratches
his foot under the table.
DIANE
My girl friend moved to Palm
Springs last weekend. I'm really
lonely, will you stay with me
for a few days until I can get
used to living by myself again?
Please .......no strings, promise.
BRIAN
Ok, but just for a few days.
DIANE
Thanks, you wont be sorry.
BRIAN
By the way, how did you get
a picture of my license plate?
DIANE
When we went to Ventura, I took
my camera and I thought of
taking a picture of it and
giving it to you, then we had
the big flare up.
BRIAN
If we have a problem in the
next few days, I'll leave
and I won't return. Ok?
DIANE
No problem, no problem at all.
What time do you have to be at
work today?
BRIAN
Why?
DIANE
I have a backache and I need for
you to rub it. Ok?
BRIAN
Diane, I don't have much time.

game and Diane is reading her script for the next
day of filming.
BRIAN
Would you like to go with me to
see the Clippers play some night?
DIANE
I would love to .......
The whole room begins to shake and Brian and Diane
are thrown to the ground. They try to get up but
are thrown down again. They finally stay on the
floor and hug each other. He waits a few minutes
and pulls her up by her arm and they run over to the
pool table and go under it.
BRIAN
Are you ok?
DIANE
I hate earthquakes. I bumped my head
on the edge of the pool table,.. I saw
stars!
BRIAN
I think of earthquakes like
riding a horse, it's a little
bumpy, but it doesn't last
forever.
DIANE
Lets change the channel on the
TV and see if they have the size
and location of the quake.
Brian changes the channel and stops on five where they
are reporting the earthquake.
STAN CHAMBERS
(channel five reporter)
Well folks we had another after
shock somewhere in the North
Valley.
BRIAN
That's twenty miles from here.

BRIAN
In August I have to go to France
on a business trip.
DIANE
Can I go with you?
BRIAN
You know I can't take you Diane,
this is a business trip.
DIANE
Look, they will never know I'm
there, and .... wont you be
lonely, I sure will go crazy
when your gone for a whole
month.
BRIAN
(feeling bad)
Diane, .......It's out of the
question.
DIANE
(rolling up her eyes
and looking at him)
The truth of the matter is, you
have another girl friend there,
don't you?
Brian places both hands on Diane's shoulders and comes
face to face. He looks deep into her eyes.
BRIAN
Diane, you're the only one, why
would I want somebody else?
Coming face to face again with Diane, stirs the strong
feelings he has for her. He reach's out with his finger
and caresses her lips, they get closer than begin a
very passionate kiss.
CLOSE ON DIANE
DIANE
If you go without me, don't expect
me to be waiting for you when you get
back!
BRIAN
You don't mean that do you?
DIANE
(Grabbing his hand)
Yes I do, look the show is on hiatus
for two weeks, plus they won't need
me for the first two weeks of the
season, so I have a whole month off.
BRIAN
Let me check it out with my boss
and if he says it's ok, you can go,
ok?
DIANE
My father already did, and your
boss said it's ok.
BRIAN
You went over my head again?
DIANE
My father owns a big chunk of
Western and he want's his
representative ... me, to see
the operation in France. It's
just business my love!
BRIAN
(really pissed)
I feel like I'm bought and paid
for and I can't go to the bathroom
without your ok!
DIANE
(also pissed)
Do you want to be a Vice President
or not?
BRIAN
(coming unglued)
On the condition, of course will be
that I marry you, .....right?
DIANE
(hyperventilating)
You would of married me anyway, so
What difference does it make? Baby,
you are bought and paid for.
BRIAN
That doesn't surprise me.
DIANE
It may not surprise you, but at the
very least it should concern you.
Because if your not the next VP, you
will be a salesman the rest of your
life, is that what you want?
BRIAN
(seeing red)
Diane, let's see if I have this right,
(A beat). I can be a VP if I'm a
trained seal for you and your family
or I can be a happy go lucky independent
son-of-a-bitch and sell drugs the rest
of my life!
DIANE
(exploding)
Trained seal, what kind of bullshit
is that?
Brian grabs both of her arms and places his face about
three inches away from her face.
BRIAN
Don't you understand English, a
trained seal is a fucking mammal
who honks horns and plays dead so
people will be entertained, is it
crystal clear now what a trained
seal is, or do you want me to spell
it out for you. (A BEAT). Well
are you speechless, has the fucking
cat got your tongue, why don't I
spell it out for you. T-R-A-I-N-E-D
fucking seal!
DIANE
You piece of shit, you've just
flushed down the toilet what would
have been the best opportunity of
your miserable fucking life! A VP
with bonus's and expense account
makes about two-hundred thousand
per year. You fucking piece of
garbage, you just don't smell
the coffee do you, if you want
anything decent in life you have
to kiss-ass, do you think somebody
just walked over and, here Diane
you are now a soap opera star. You
are by far the dumbest Pollock I have
ever met. Oh I see that got your
attention.
BRIAN
Don't call me a dumb Pollock!
DIANE
We know more about you than
you know about yourself.
BRIAN
Stop now!
CLOSE ON DIANE
DIANE
Do you think we would just hand
over the job of Sales VP to
just any old Pollock, no baby I
had to bust giant stainless
steel balls for them to take
you as VP, you dumb Pollock, a
Pollock with a fancy degree is
still a dumb Pollock with a
fancy degree, which means Squat,
Mr. Powaski!
BRIAN
(coming unglued)
How did you know I changed my name?
DIANE
We know all about you, including the
girl you got pregnant and wouldn't
help her out so she hung herself!
Get the fuck out of my house you
sleaze bag son-of-a-bitch! And
don't you ever come back!
BRIAN
(grabbing Diane by the neck
and squeezing)
You fucking bitch, I'm going to
kill you, nobody cuts my balls off,
not even you!
DIANE
(pulling a knife from
under her end table)
Let me go or I'll cut you from end
to end you piece of shit!
(She holds the point of
the knife under his chin)
Now get the fuck out of here you
miserable piece of garbage before
I cut your throat and yell self
defense.
BRIAN
Ok, You win this time, but you
will never do this to me again,
You better hire a body guard
because your days on earth are
numbered.
Brian lets her go and gets back on his feet, walks out
the front door and disappears into the night.

Well bitch let's see how you do

Hi Brian, it's so good to see you.
BRIAN

Ah, ....Hi Joel, how are you?
JOEL
Too bad about Miss Stephanie!
BRIAN
Why what happened?

She's in a coma, I thought you knew?

She was having dinner with us

LOLITA MORROW

We think she's having a bad reaction to
the medication.
BRIAN
Oh, my god, the LEONX 85 ELIXER?
STAN MORROW
Yes! We'll have to hold the
program until we investigate
the current batch. Have them
check all the samples first
thing tomorrow. Will you do
that for me?
BRIAN
Yes sir, I'll take care of it
personally. I'm going in to
see her.

snuggling up to him.

If the pussy could only talk, I wonder what she could
tell me about the bitch!
The intercom crackles and Diane's voice is heard over the meowing
of the cat.
DIANE (V.O.)
Yes, who is it?
BRIAN
It's me Diane, I need to see you for a minute,
it's urgent!
He hears some shuffling around inside the house, the door
opens and Diane is standing there with a gun in her hand.
DIANE
(crying)
You have two minutes to get off
my porch or your a dead man!
BRIAN
(shaking, pleading)
Put the gun down, I'm not here
to hassle you. You must hear what
I have to say. It's about the LEONX
85 ELIXER program!
DIANE
(stunned)
The program?
BRIAN
(sincere)
Yes, I'm afraid we have some problems.
DIANE
Serious problems?
BRIAN

There is a good chance the last batch
is bad, because Stephanie Morrow
is in a coma!
Diane pulls the door back and motions for Brian to come
inside.

Now, what is it?

Stan Morrow is stopping the program until we
can find out what happened.
Diane motions for Brain to sit down on the couch.
DIANE
For how long?
BRIAN
(uneasy)
Will you point that thing the other way? (A beat).
It could be days, weeks maybe even months, who knows?
Diane puts the gun down and wipes her fore-head and
pulls her hair back.
DIANE
(crying)
What will happen to me, I've
been on the formula for over
six months!
BRIAN
(uneasy)
We have a stabilizer that's used in cases like this and
within a week, we can get you some.
DIANE
Stabilizer? What is it?
BRIAN
(very serious)
For control purposes we put aside a small
portion of each batch produced, we usually
have at least a ninety-day supply for
emergencies.
DIANE
Here, or in France?
BRIAN
(very serious)
The stabilizer is in France and it will take
a couple of days to get it in the country,
you know the Fed.'s check everything.

Me. I'm on the program too.
DIANE
(in shock)
You! .......You?
BRIAN
(serious)
Yes, me. (A beat). Look your not the only
person in the world getting old.
DIANE
(stunned)
How long have you been on it?
BRIAN
Ten years!
DIANE
Your thirty-five, right?
BRIAN
(coughing)
I'll be sixty this year!
DIANE
(startled)
Your older than my father!
I would have married an old man!
BRIAN
(somber)
That should make you very happy
that you found out before a
possible marriage.
DIANE
(in denial)
You don't look a day over
thirty-five!
BRIAN
(pleading)
Stan Morrow doesn't have any idea that
I'm on the program, only Sebastian knows,
if Stan finds out I'll get fired!
DIANE
Oh don't worry, I wont tell him,
but you better make sure I get
my share of the good stuff!
How is Stephanie doing?
BRIAN
(holding his head down)
I saw her at the hospital and it doesn't
look good at all.
DIANE
(communicating)
How come I haven't had any problems
with my medication?
BRIAN
(serious)
I don't know, it could just be an interaction
with some other drug!

Ah, ....Hi Doc, Stan told me to lock everything
until we find out what happened to the formula.
BOSTICK
Too bad about Stephanie!
BRIAN
