01:30Many people, if asked, would tell you that great fortunes are built from luck.
01:45Uncle Beauregard!
01:46But I can personally attest that great fortunes come from misfortune.
01:54Somebody help!
01:55After each untimely Delacorte death, my stake in the family fortune grew.
02:03And grew and grew.
02:09And contrary to current mythology, which has me collecting trophies from my victims, what
02:19I was actually doing was collecting keepsakes of those I loved.
02:24Tokens of gratitude to those whose misfortune made my fortunate life possible.
02:31Why me?
02:33I would ask no one in particular.
02:35Why are some chosen to live a lucky life while others' lives are cut so short?
02:41I stopped asking these questions once I learned good fortune doesn't protect a woman from the world's condemnation.
02:52Of course, as one gathers life experience, one also realizes once gained a fortune must be protected.
03:08But no matter the person, no matter how meek, moral, or magnanimous, all eventually learn the art of safeguarding our luck.
03:21Oh, my God.
03:35Maxine!
03:36What have I done?
03:38He was an inch away from snapping my neck.
03:42You saved my life.
03:46No.
03:48What are we going to do?
03:49Okay, maybe we should be asking the time-worn question, what would Norma do?
03:56Maxine!
03:57Snap out of it!
03:58This is a moment for action.
04:00What would Norma do?
04:02She would get rid of the body before Douglas' wedding tonight.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Atta girl.
04:08That's good.
04:09Okay, let me lock the door.
04:11Maxine, stay with me.
04:13Two things are clear.
04:15Mitzi can never know this happened, and Douglas can never know that baby was.
04:19It wasn't his, because if either one of them finds out either one of those things, they will call the wedding off.
04:23Maxine!
04:24Yes.
04:26Okay, I'm here.
04:28I'm here.
04:30Roger Dodger.
04:30Okay, that's my girl.
04:31Okay.
04:32Okay, let's get this pig in a blanket.
04:34Okay.
04:37Here, I'll roll into you.
04:39Here.
04:39Okay.
04:41Okay.
04:42So I just...
04:43I do.
04:44I just plead self-defense.
04:46No?
04:46No, Evelyn.
04:47Maxine.
04:47Yes?
04:48You are absolutely not a murderer.
04:51There is no stain on your soul.
04:53But as witness to what happened to Linda, we should all know better how the legal system treats women in this town.
04:59Or anywhere, really.
05:01Okay?
05:01Right.
05:02All right.
05:02Okay.
05:03Here, I'll cover his head and you get his feet.
05:05Okay.
05:07Okay.
05:07Okay.
05:08You got it?
05:08Just...
05:09Oh!
05:11Are you okay?
05:13Yes, I'm good.
05:13I'm okay.
05:14Let's find him.
05:15Be careful.
05:17Swing him around.
05:18Swing him?
05:19Okay.
05:19I'll lift him.
05:22Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:23Okay, great.
05:24Where are we going to hide him?
05:25I don't know.
05:26Somewhere where no one can find him.
05:27See, wait a second.
05:29He was, um, an alligator sommelier, right?
05:33Fang and tail.
05:34They've got a gator upon him.
05:35Yes.
05:36They'll gobble him down, but good.
05:37Oh, they'll love that revenge.
05:39Okay.
05:40Okay.
05:40Okay.
05:44Okay.
05:46Oh!
05:46Oh!
05:51Let's stuff him in the dumbwaiter and drag him to my car.
05:54Oh, great.
05:54And then to the fang.
05:55Perfect.
05:55Oh, but wait.
05:59Everyone, you drive a Corvette.
06:00Oh, my God.
06:01That's right.
06:01This way too small.
06:03Um.
06:04Through the tunnel.
06:05Norma's Rolls-Royce at the Dillacourt.
06:07It's got a truck as big as a Frigidaire.
06:09Brilliant.
06:09Let's go.
06:10Okay.
06:11Oh, God.
06:12Help me pull on this side.
06:13Okay.
06:15One, two, three.
06:16Oh!
06:17Okay.
06:20Okay.
06:21Be careful.
06:22Okay.
06:23Okay.
06:23Let's get this over.
06:24Okay.
06:25Let's get this out.
06:26One, two, three.
06:29And keep!
06:31And hold!
06:35Evelyn!
06:36Why is the door locked?
06:37It's Evie.
06:37What are we going to do?
06:38Oh, my God.
06:38Hide.
06:39I've got to hide somewhere.
06:40Get in here.
06:41Go.
06:41Get in.
06:42Get in.
06:42Quick.
06:42Oh!
06:42Why was the door locked?
06:53Because I'm alone.
06:58Evelyn.
07:01I may have judged you too harshly.
07:03And, um, I'm willing to work things out with you if you swear to me that things are over
07:11with Jed.
07:12Oh, it's over, all right.
07:15I can guarantee you that nothing will ever happen ever again.
07:23She's not wrong.
07:25He's here now, isn't he?
07:26Oh, don't be irrational.
07:28Where are you?
07:29Huh?
07:30He is not here, and he will never be here again.
07:34That's not a lie.
07:35Sorry.
07:35Evelyn, this relationship, it makes me feel insecure.
07:42You know so much more about the world.
07:45You're so much more sophisticated.
07:47You're...
07:47She's older.
07:48You're...
07:49Say it.
07:50Older.
07:51Say it.
07:52It's clear.
07:52You and I are due a larger conversation.
07:55But at the moment, I have so much to do before the wedding.
07:59Like get rid of a dead body.
08:00If you could just go now, and we will talk about this later.
08:04I mean, you've got so much to do.
08:06Please, please, believe me.
08:08We'll talk later.
08:14You had sex with the waiter and the dumb waiter?
08:17We had Italians.
08:18A what?
08:19We fucked.
08:20Oh.
08:21All right, let's get him down to the...
08:22Let's get him down.
08:23Okay, then we'll run down to the...
08:24Face me, meet him there.
08:27Well, here goes nothing.
08:30This is probably the last time I can show my face in public
08:33before that deranged egg maniac match post
08:36brands me as Nixon's whore forever.
08:38What are you doing?
08:40Well, I'm sharpening my antlers.
08:42Happy to talk to her if you want.
08:44No.
08:45Are you coming?
08:46I have to get the groom's cake to the caterers,
08:48and then you have to drop me off at the Delacorte
08:50so I can help Mitzi dress.
08:51No can do, babe.
08:53You're on your own.
08:54I got the golden ticket.
08:58The International Order of the Stag
09:00has given me an award.
09:02Yeah, I have to show up today at 4 o'clock
09:04at the Shining Sheet.
09:05I'm going to take my picture.
09:06You're missing your best friend's wedding
09:08so you can have your photo taken?
09:11Dugaboo would want this for me.
09:14Why can't I have anything for myself?
09:17Dinah, do you...
09:18Do you even love me anymore?
09:25I have to get the cake to the Palm.
09:31Blind item.
09:33Which Palm Beach socialite
09:35is rumored to be a mall for the Soviet government?
09:37We've seen it, too.
09:39Rumor has it, old J. Edgar is none too happy.
09:42Someone could help him
09:43if he returns the favor.
09:45Just what are we talking about here?
09:47Our boss.
09:48Yes, the rumors are true.
09:51We moonlight with the Russians
09:52when our interests align.
09:55Lamont wants a meeting.
09:57Where?
09:58Not so fast.
09:59We only spill our Cuban beans
10:01if we get immunity.
10:05That could be arranged.
10:07Lamont wants to meet
10:08star reporter Anne Holliday
10:10at the Shining Sheet today.
10:124 p.m. sharp.
10:13He wants to tell his side of the story.
10:16Instead, we are
10:17telling you
10:18telling you
10:18gracias.
10:23Our blind item worked
10:24beyond our wildest dreams,
10:26and now
10:26I am going to get
10:27the scoop of a lifetime.
10:28No, you are not.
10:30I'm going to meet this mole
10:31by myself.
10:32I promise you'll get your interview
10:34from his jail cell.
10:36But I'm sorry,
10:37I can't let you know
10:38where near the Shining Sheet today.
10:39As I recall,
10:43I did in fact mention
10:44there was a dalliance.
10:45I just didn't specify
10:46who it was.
10:47Well, I can't say
10:48that I'm happy
10:48that one of my best gal pals
10:50would withhold
10:50such a secret.
10:53Oh, hello?
10:54What is it?
10:55There's someone there.
10:56What?
10:56Oh, here, quick.
10:58Uh, uh, put some,
10:59put some,
10:59put some of this stuff on it.
11:00Cover up the body.
11:01Quick.
11:02Get down here.
11:04This isn't really big enough.
11:06Okay, good.
11:06Looks like we're
11:07sitting at the table.
11:09It wasn't me.
11:09Oh, oh!
11:11Mary!
11:11Mary!
11:13What, what wasn't you?
11:15I heard kerfuffling
11:16and gunshots.
11:19What are you talking about?
11:20I didn't hear
11:20anyone get shot in the back.
11:21I, uh, I fear
11:27that I've lost my bootlegger.
11:29I broke the Davidsoul orb
11:32over his skull
11:33and so he abandoned me.
11:36And if I find him,
11:37I'm going to kill him.
11:39I'm furious
11:40and furiously in love.
11:43I have an idea.
11:44Why don't you just
11:44hand this over to me
11:47and maybe instead
11:48you can just yell at him,
11:50your boyfriend.
11:51Maybe that's my fate
11:53to wander these
11:54hallowed hallways
11:56forever
11:57in search of my lost love.
12:00I've become
12:01a Bronte novel.
12:04What a fate.
12:05Gosh, that may be, Mary,
12:06but in a few days
12:07when you decide
12:08that's actually not the case,
12:09God willing,
12:10the pool will soon be open
12:11at the Pomeria
12:12and you can
12:12take in some vitamin D,
12:14which
12:15you need.
12:20Oh,
12:21bootlegger.
12:23bootlegger.
12:29It worked.
12:30She didn't notice a thing.
12:32Perfect.
12:32Great.
12:33Cover up.
12:34This way.
12:34This way.
12:35Feet first.
12:36Feet first.
12:39Okay.
12:39Okay.
12:40I'll be right back.
12:42Wait a second.
12:44What?
12:45Did Mary say
12:47she hit the bootlegger
12:48over the head
12:48with the orb?
12:49Yes.
12:50She said that.
12:51Why?
12:55Oh!
12:57Jed is the bootlegger.
13:00He's been buying
13:01all this.
13:02Running around
13:03these tunnels
13:04fooling Mary.
13:05Working all the women
13:05in town.
13:06Sending messages
13:07to Mitzi.
13:08Oh my gosh,
13:09it all makes sense.
13:10No, no, no, no, no.
13:13What is it?
13:13I think I just realized
13:14I shared a lover
13:15with Mitzi and
13:16Mary.
13:19Oh.
13:21You know what that means.
13:22What?
13:23You three are Eskimo sisters.
13:25For life.
13:26I've never heard
13:27that expression before,
13:28but I can intuit
13:29what it means
13:30and I feel like
13:30throwing up.
13:31I believe the word
13:32is Inuit.
13:33Oh.
13:40I know Eddie's
13:41upset with you
13:42and that's
13:44got to be hard.
13:47But I really think
13:48he'll forgive you
13:49because I really
13:52believe he loves you
13:53and that is rare
13:54in this town.
13:55Believe me.
13:57So no matter
13:57what happens,
14:00consider yourself
14:01one of the lucky ones.
14:04You know what's funny?
14:06Maxine and frankly,
14:07very telling.
14:08No one ever
14:09said Eddie
14:10was the lucky one.
14:12Not once.
14:14I was so caught up
14:15in all the things
14:16I thought I needed to do
14:17to hold on to him
14:19as if I were unworthy.
14:20And the more I think
14:22about it,
14:22the more my,
14:23if I believed
14:24in psychology,
14:25the more my
14:26subconscious motivations
14:27for sleeping with Jed
14:29are becoming
14:30very clear.
14:32Clear how?
14:33Just go upstairs
14:34and get the keys
14:35to the roll
14:35so we can get
14:35this over with.
14:36Yes.
14:37Go.
14:38Lots to process.
14:38Okay,
14:44the coast is clear.
14:47Here we go.
14:53Can I come in?
14:59The FBI is here.
15:00What?
15:01How could he have
15:01found out already?
15:02Shh, shh.
15:04He disappeared.
15:05I'm sorry.
15:06I had to save my marriage.
15:07But why are you here now?
15:11Hoover had the offices
15:12bugged and got us
15:12both on tape.
15:14Well, in the act,
15:17I'm to do as they say
15:18or I'll be exposed.
15:19As they say?
15:20What do you mean?
15:21To what?
15:21I have orders
15:23to show up today
15:24at the shiny sheet
15:25at four.
15:27They're,
15:28they're shoot-to-kill orders.
15:31Okay, good news.
15:32It's not about us.
15:33Come here.
15:34Bad news is
15:35Tom has to kill someone.
15:36There is another way.
15:39Be free.
15:41My kids.
15:42And we'll love you
15:43as you are.
15:45I guarantee that.
15:48Kiss me.
15:57Who the hell
15:58is going to get killed today?
15:59I think the question
16:00is who else
16:01is going to get killed.
16:02Remember?
16:02I have to go home.
16:15Raphael?
16:16Are you ready?
16:17We're going to be late.
16:18Who the hell is Raphael?
16:20It's Robert's son.
16:23He reached out.
16:25Robert has a son?
16:26Yes, I'll explain.
16:26Come on.
16:28Raphael?
16:31So, before
16:32Robert embraced
16:33being a momo,
16:34he had a kid
16:35in Puerto Rico.
16:36Gosh.
16:36Yeah, he left there
16:37and came here
16:38for reasons.
16:40And
16:40a big story came out
16:42and Robert's face
16:42is all over the papers.
16:44Raphael tracked him down
16:45and then
16:46they became reunited.
16:47That's so touching.
16:48Oh.
16:49Raphael,
16:50gotta go.
16:50We're late.
16:51The bar.
16:52The bar.

17:14the happy couple.

17:32Oh, I'm Maxine.
17:33Hi.
17:34Oh, this is Evelyn.
17:35Charmed.
17:36I'm so sorry.
17:37You said you're
17:38going to court?
17:39Yep.
17:39To ask that I get custody
17:41so he can move
17:42to Palm Beach,
17:43finish high school
17:43here, spend some
17:44time with me
17:44so we can get
17:45to know each other
17:46a little better?
17:47My mother will be
17:48upset, but I hate
17:50the man she married.
17:51He's always
17:52screaming at me.
17:53Be a man, Raphael.
17:54Toughen up, Raphael.
17:57Well, I think it is
17:58wonderful that you
17:59are here, getting
18:00to know your dad.
18:01You know, I never
18:02had the opportunity
18:02to get to know
18:04my alcoholic Eskimo
18:07sister.
18:10Do you happen
18:10to know what an Eskimo...
18:11Maxine, they have
18:12to get going
18:13and we have
18:13things to do
18:14too, don't we?
18:15Yes.
18:15Have you ever
18:16written a Vespa?
18:18No.
18:18It's so cool.
18:19We're going to have
18:19so much fun.
18:20And the day's
18:20perfect.
18:21Come on, let's go.
18:22Bye, ladies.
18:22Bye-bye.
18:23Bye-bye.
18:25Cute.
18:26So cute.
18:28Okay, listen.
18:29Will you tell me
18:30what's become clear?
18:32Why you...
18:33Ahem.
18:34With...
18:35Ahem.
18:35I will tell you
18:36while we get this
18:37body to the roles.
18:38We've got to
18:38multitask.
18:39Okay.
18:40Okay.
18:40Even though my time
18:41with Eddie was
18:42fulfilling and affirming
18:44in many ways,
18:45I may not need him.
18:47Are you saying
18:47you can conceive
18:48of existing
18:49without having a husband
18:50or being in pursuit
18:52of a husband?
18:53I hate to admit it,
18:54but apparently
18:54I have feelings
18:55that just happen
18:56to align themselves
18:57with the thing
18:57they call...
18:58Oh, feminism.
19:01Oh.
19:01And if you tell anyone
19:03I use that word...
19:03Your secret is safe with me.
19:05All right.
19:05Let's feed this fucker
19:06to the alligators.
19:10Nancy.
19:10Oh, for God's sake.
19:12Over here.
19:13Yes.
19:21Evelyn, you're okay.
19:22Oh, thank God.
19:24I was so sure
19:26Jed was gonna hurt you.
19:27What?
19:28No.
19:28I'm alive
19:29and we all are alive.
19:31For now.
19:32But he could do anything.
19:33He won't.
19:34You don't know that.
19:36I do.
19:37Because we reached out
19:40to our friend Virginia
19:40at the FBI
19:41and told her
19:43we think that
19:44Jed was the killer
19:46of my twin sister
19:48and so she put out
19:49an APB on him
19:50and apparently
19:50he found out
19:52and fled town forever.
19:53Right, so you never
19:54have to worry about
19:54seeing Jed
19:55ever again.
19:56Hello, maid of honor
20:00calling.
20:02Oh, good.
20:06Tears.
20:07It is not a real wedding
20:08if you are not sobbing
20:09with regret and loathing
20:10on the big day, my darling.
20:11Does it smell like dead body?
20:15No.
20:15No.
20:16Uh, would you mind
20:18taking Mitzi upstairs
20:19and helping her get ready?
20:21Are you ready?
20:21Come on.
20:22Come on.
20:23No.
20:24Let's get you poured
20:25into a wedding dress.
20:26Come on.
20:26Turn that frown
20:29upside down.
20:31Okay.
20:32We've got to hurry, Maxine.
20:33The wedding's at five.
20:34Okay.
20:35Nope, I'm driving.
20:35You're a wreck.
20:36Oh, hi, ladies.
20:37Hi, Douglas.
20:38Goodbye, Douglas.
20:40Wow.
20:42You're looking awfully
20:43well.
20:44Feeling surprisingly great
20:46except for this
20:47annoying rash.
20:50Oh, Max,
20:51remember how I always
20:51used to tell you
20:52that whenever I took aspirin
20:53I'd get this rash?
20:54Yeah, we don't have time
20:55for a shaggy dog story.
20:56We have to get going.
20:56Well, apparently,
20:57I am allergic.
20:59Here's the irony
21:00that I'm supposed to take
21:01large quantities of aspirin
21:03in order to counteract
21:05this, uh,
21:06this heart condition
21:06that I have,
21:07which is genetic.
21:08It's killed all the
21:09Delacorte men early.
21:10Isn't that amazing?
21:11Fascinating.
21:12Listen, um,
21:12we'll see you at
21:13your wedding, okay?
21:14Yeah, Max.
21:17Look, I've been meaning
21:18to talk to you about that.
21:19Douglas, honey,
21:19can it wait?
21:21Look, I've just survived,
21:22uh,
21:22a near-death experience.
21:26Yes.
21:28And I've made a life
21:30with Mitzi.
21:31A life.
21:33And that life
21:34needs to be honored.
21:35It can't just be tossed away
21:36like some piece of,
21:37of garbage.
21:39A child,
21:40my child,
21:41deserves to have
21:42both of its parents
21:43and I think that,
21:44God, I think that you,
21:46as an orphan,
21:46would understand that
21:47as much as anybody.
21:48So, listen,
21:51I've, uh,
21:51I've changed the plan.
21:56Mitzi will get married,
21:57we'll have the baby,
21:59then we'll get the money,
21:59you'll get your share,
22:00of course.
22:01Then,
22:02you and I
22:02can officially reconcile
22:04when the kid is 18.
22:06Doesn't that make
22:07a lot of sense?
22:08God,
22:08I'm gonna be the first
22:09telecourt man
22:11to see his child
22:12all the way
22:13to adulthood.
22:14Maxine?
22:1518?
22:16Yeah.
22:1718 years from now.
22:18Just,
22:19change the plan.
22:22Uh-huh.
22:23Yeah.
22:24Did you take your, uh,
22:25your aspirin today?
22:26Yeah,
22:26every 12 hours,
22:27like clockwork.
22:28Don't do it, Maxine.
22:30Please.
22:30The baby
22:31isn't even yours,
22:33you dum-dum.
22:36Connigan?
22:38Mitzi's baby
22:39is not
22:40yours.
22:44Now,
22:44can we go?
22:45Yes.
22:46Let's go.
22:48I will see you
22:49at your wedding,
22:50and you better be there,
22:50or I will kill you.
22:56No.
22:56Aren't you
22:58just the most glorious?
23:02Glowing.
23:04Mitzi,
23:06what is it?
23:11I've always
23:13had a boyfriend,
23:16and
23:16now
23:18I'm going to have
23:20a husband,
23:22and promise
23:23to
23:24love
23:25and obey
23:27him
23:27forever.
23:29And I'm
23:30tired of
23:31obeying,
23:31I think.
23:34Husbands
23:35are as useful
23:37as you make them.
23:39But what about
23:39me?
23:41Like,
23:43actually
23:44me?
23:46The way
23:47I looked at it
23:48when I was your age
23:49was that
23:52it was much
23:53better
23:53to feel safe
23:55and secure
23:56and without
23:58any want
23:59while deciding
24:00on all that
24:01hope and dream
24:02stuff.
24:03It's not like
24:04I was cut out
24:05to be a starving
24:05artist or something,
24:07because I'm definitely
24:07not an artist,
24:08so
24:09why bother
24:12starving?
24:14It's
24:14not
24:15easy
24:16to be
24:17a woman
24:18alone.
24:19Just look
24:20look at Maxine.
24:23Sometimes
24:24someone else's
24:25desire
24:26is
24:26a woman's
24:28best path
24:28to power.
24:43Dinah?
24:45What's wrong?
24:46my dear Norma,
25:09the less you give me,
25:10the more I want to give you.
25:12here is my most prized
25:16possession,
25:17the last
25:17uncollected
25:18Faberge
25:19imperial egg,
25:22yours always,
25:22Axel.
25:23I will see you
25:24at the wedding.
25:27Here we are.
25:29Thank God
25:29this is almost over.
25:30So what do you think?
25:31They just
25:32eat him up,
25:33close and all?
25:34I hope so.
25:34I have no desire
25:35to see him undressed again,
25:37although he did have
25:38a dick like
25:39an unsliced
25:41as old.
25:42Yeah.
25:44Oh lord,
25:44here we are.
25:46What?
25:48Where's the water?
25:49More importantly,
25:50where are all the
25:50alligators?
25:53Oh,
25:53that's a three-hour
25:54drive.
25:55We'll never make it
25:55back in time.
25:56Now we've got to think
25:57of another place
25:58to stash the body
25:58until tonight.
26:02The freezer!
26:03The freezer!
26:11Dina!
26:22How the devil
26:23did you get past
26:24Fritz and Jorgen?
26:25Someone's going to pay.
26:26I don't care who pays.
26:28So long as it's not me.
26:34And it is not
26:35my husband.
26:36Oh my god.
26:37The 12th Imperial egg!
26:39Oh!
26:40Never
26:41underestimate me again.
26:44Repeat after me.
26:46You are a formidable
26:47person,
26:48Mrs. Dina Donahue.
26:50You are a formidable
26:51person,
26:52Mrs. Dina Donahue?
26:54You have standing,
26:56Mrs. Dina Donahue.
26:57Standing is practically
26:58your middle name.
27:00You don't need to be
27:01scared anymore.
27:02Okay, then we can
27:03promise you that.
27:03Say it.
27:06As God is my witness,
27:08you'll never be
27:09scared again.
27:10Those words mean
27:12something coming
27:12from you.
27:13Of course,
27:14of course they do.
27:15It's...
27:16It's where you live,
27:20it's how you live,
27:21it's...
27:21someone...
27:22someone like you
27:26living in a big,
27:28beautiful place like
27:29this telling me
27:30it's all going to be
27:31okay.
27:32Hell, even if you're
27:33lying to me,
27:34it makes me feel a
27:35little bit better
27:36about myself.
27:38So thanks.
27:40Don't mention it.
27:41I'm not as rich as
27:42you, but I am
27:44pretty fucking rich.
27:45What is it you want
27:46for the egg?
27:46I will give you
27:47anything.
27:48If you really are
27:49as electorally
27:50powerful as you
27:51say you are,
27:54Perry Donahue
27:55will be the next
27:56mayor of Palm Beach.
27:57Every ballot box
28:03will be stuffed
28:04with one name.
28:06Perry Donahue,
28:07cross my heart.
28:08What else?
28:10Nothing else.
28:12You must really
28:13love him.
28:14enjoy your egg.
28:33I would have
28:34given you more.
28:37Yes, I'm getting
28:39that distinct
28:40impression.
28:44Your winter
28:45White House
28:46dream.
28:46I hope you get it.
28:48No one should
28:49ever deny a woman
28:49her most heartfelt
28:50desire.
28:53Word of advice?
28:56Never settle
28:56when you've got
28:57the goods.
28:58When you think
29:14I don't know
29:15how easy
29:16you
29:17don't know
29:18how easy
29:18you
29:19do
29:19O
29:21the
29:22end
29:23you
29:23don't know
29:23our
29:24story
29:25you
29:26Gosh, do you think he's cold in there?
29:32Yes, Maxine.
29:34Do you think he can breathe?
29:36No, Maxine.
29:38Oh, God.
29:40Evelyn.
29:41I took a life.
29:44Maxine, slap yourself.
29:48Wow.
29:50Oh, thank you.
29:51Now focus on the many fruits that Jed's dastardly actions and subsequent misfortune have labored.
29:56Okay.
29:57Now let's go get your ex-husband married.
29:59Okay.
30:06Maxine, how are you holding up in all this?
30:09Well, that depends.
30:10Are you asking me strictly as a friend or as a society reporter?
30:13Strictly as your friend?
30:16Strictly as a friend.
30:18It's probably been the worst day of my life.
30:20Okay, where do you want this?
30:22Oh, Donna, I need a favor.
30:24Can you please have Perry go check on Douglas?
30:26Make sure he's all right?
30:27I would, but he's too busy doing some stupid stag photo shoot at the shiny sheet.
30:31He's going to the shiny sheet?
30:33That's what the telegram he showed me said.
30:35Why?
30:35That's where Tom said he was going in order to shoot someone.
30:39Who's Tom?
30:40Robert's secret lover, FBI.
30:42Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
30:44Well, the FBI was given a tip just today
30:46that the Palm Beach mole wanted to meet with me at the shiny sheet today at four
30:50to give their side of the story.
30:52Well, Dinah, you say Perry's heading there?
30:54At four.
30:55Well, that's exactly when and where Tom is going to shoot someone.
30:59Perry is not some Soviet mole.
31:01No, but he's being made to look like one.
31:04Well, my blind item said that the mole was the Palm Beach socialite.
31:08Perry fits that bill perfectly.
31:11Plus, he's a former ambassador close to Nixon.
31:13Wait, but so you're saying that the actual mole has arranged it
31:16so Tom will shoot Perry.
31:18So it looks like Perry is the mole.
31:21And the shiny sheet is the perfect place.
31:23It's closed on Fridays in the off-season.
31:26Perfect, Patsy, Perry.
31:29Yet again.
31:31Sounds to me like who's ever behind all of this
31:33just needs a body.
31:34What would Norma do?
31:39Hey, well, I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan.
31:57Won't you hop inside my car?
32:00I got pictures, got candy.
32:01I'm a lovable gal.
32:03And I can take you to the nearest star.
32:05No!
32:06I'm your beautiful woman.
32:07No!
32:09No!
32:11Hi.
32:12This is not happening.
32:13I fear it is indeed happening.
32:15What the hell are y'all doing here?
32:17Your sting is a setup.
32:18Your real mole is not going to show.
32:21Then who the hell is?
32:23Well, if you want to be a movie star,
32:38I can take you to Hollywood.
32:39I'm ready for my picture.
32:41But if you want to stay just like you are,
32:44you know I think you really should.
32:47Ha, ha, ha!
32:48Yeah!
32:50I'll take you anywhere you want to go.
32:53By now I'm sure I know that I love...
32:56Chloroform.
32:57From my gap year in Edinburgh.
32:59Ha!
32:59I love you, I need you, I want you.
33:27Gotta have you.
33:30Great God in heaven, you know that I love you.
33:37God, forgive me.
33:42Let go!
33:43Hey, well, I'm a friendly stranger in the black sedan.
33:50Won't you hop inside my car?
33:53I got pictures, got candy, I'm a lovable gown.
33:56And I can take you to the nearest stars.
33:59I'm your vehicle, baby.
34:01Oh, I see.
34:03Frozen.
34:05I need you.
34:06I want you.
34:07Congrats, Aja.
34:10Looks like you bagged the mole of Palm Beach.
34:12You know that I love you.
34:26Where the hell is everybody?
34:28Mayor Barnhill!
34:30Mitzi.
34:31Well, what happened?
34:34Is it over?
34:35Douglas called the whole thing off because someone told him it wasn't his baby.
34:39It's almost as if I predicted the future.
34:42Where is Douglas?
34:44In the bar.
34:45Also could have predicted that.
34:48Benny!
34:49Don't pack up yet.
34:50You stay put.
34:52Wait, where are we going?
34:53No, no, no, you stay here.
34:54This is me.
35:03I need you to get up off that chair and go marry that girl.
35:08No.
35:12I need you to get in there and marry Mitzi, or so help me to sweep baby Jesus and Beck.
35:17I will shoot you myself.
35:19Go ahead.
35:20Probably shoot blanks just like me.
35:22God, you used to get me with that.
35:27I don't feel sorry for you.
35:33God, your ego.
35:40Do you realize that I have given you, I have given and given and given you?
35:48As much as a person can give another person since the day I laid eyes on you.
35:53And in return, I'm asking you to do this little thing.
35:57And not just for me, but for Mitzi too.
36:01I owe her this.
36:07I owe Evelyn this.
36:10Please, Douglas, just do it for the girls.
36:15Matt, I need to tell you something.
36:20Marriage is not some little thing, Maxine.
36:23Then why did you throw ours away like it was?
36:27I don't...
36:27Why, Douglas?
36:30You do not lecture me about marriage.
36:40Are you happy?
36:44Ever since we came to this town, we've been so unhappy.
36:56And I recall that before we came here, we were happy.
36:59Like, like truly happy, Maxine.
37:02You may have been miserable, but I'm having the greatest adventure I've ever had in my entire life.
37:20I've made some calls.
37:22And I want to go back to flying.
37:25That is the place that I was truly happiest.
37:28Ferrying, sleeping families across the globe by starlight.
37:31And then, and then coming home to find you waiting for me.
37:35That's, that's what I want, Max.
37:37I want to go back to that.
37:40You don't decide what we go back to.
37:44You're not hearing me.
37:47That's what I want.
37:49I do hear you.
37:53And I don't care what you want.
37:59Wow.
38:01Yeah, you are making that very clear, aren't you?
38:07Douglas, I need you to get up.
38:09I need you to put on that tie, put on that jacket, stop drinking this booze.
38:13I need you to marry Mitzi.
38:15Or whatever.
38:18Love we have had between us.
38:21It will be over.
38:26Forever.
38:26You and I
38:29will never be over.
38:33Ever.
38:34You have a funny way of making that sound like a threat.
38:37Yeah.
38:38Well, maybe it is, Max.
38:41Because you and I
38:42are forever, and I think you know that.
38:45That is the truth.
38:46Come on!
38:47Come with me!
38:49Come with me!
38:50Come with me!
38:50Come with me!
38:50You're going to regret this.
39:16You're going to regret this!
39:18You're going to regret this.
39:23Well?
39:28There's a late arrival in there you might want to attend to.
39:34Late arrival?
39:36You know.
39:37Why do you keep throwing parties that are a bust?
39:55I came for a wedding, and to make one final move, to appeal to your better nature.
40:12Well, I'm not sure I have a better nature anymore.
40:15But, shoot.
40:18Well, since none of us has a claim on the money, I thought maybe you might be inclined to share
40:25it with a wayward soul and her wayward daughter.
40:28Well, I had quite a run in any event, and I have to say it was kind of fun.
40:33I'm sorry, I thought you killed a bunch of people.
40:34You know, we're exactly alike in many ways, don't you think?
40:35Willing to do almost anything to continue to be someone we're not.
40:38Do you think someone can do the wrong thing, but for the right reason?
40:43Well, darling, you do your best, and sometimes your best fall short.
40:47Maybe.
40:48I don't worry, it's not.
40:50Maybe.
40:51You know, I don't know what that was.
40:52But I don't know how to do that.
40:53Well, you're not.
40:54But I'm not.
40:55You're not.
40:56No.
40:57I'm not.
40:58You're not.
40:59But I'm not.
41:00I'm not.
41:01Well, I have to say it was kind of fun.
41:03I'm sorry I thought you killed a bunch of people.
41:06You know, we're exactly alike in many ways, don't you think?
41:08Willing to do almost anything to continue to be someone we're not.
41:12And when it does, you find a way to do good.
41:20How come we weren't friends through all this?
41:23When Douglas left my daughter on her wedding day for you,
41:28my resentment clouded my better judgment.
41:35I hope you'll forgive me.
41:42I never thought I'd see this day. The two of you getting along.
41:47Well, how did it go? Do we have a new member in our Palm Beach social scene? I need some good news.
41:52Well, the judge wouldn't give custody to a single man over a married couple,
41:57so I have to send Rafi back home tomorrow morning.
42:02Sweetie, I'm so sorry.
42:05I'm sorry, too, for the things I said to you in Switzerland.
42:10You didn't know because I didn't let you know.
42:14I love you, son.
42:17Rafi.
42:19Come here.
42:20I want you to meet your grandmother, Norma.
42:23This is my son, Rafael.
42:25We're family.
42:27How'd that happen?
42:28Oh, it's a good story.
42:32Something good came out of this after all.
42:34Something good.
42:43Rafi, honey, will you go see if Benny Barnhill's still here?
42:46White hair, tuxedo, probably drunk.
42:49Yeah.
42:51Thanks, sweetie.
42:53Maxine.
42:55If a judge needs you to be married in order to get custody,
42:59well, then let's get you married.
43:08Listen, Maxine, don't start with your things because you're...
43:09Robert.
43:10It's crazy.
43:11Robert.
43:14I will finally be able to do the one thing I could never do,
43:19which would be to give the man I love a child.
43:24A child.
43:26Maxine, we're talking about marriage here, and that is...
43:29Stupid.
43:32It's a contract.
43:34Have you looked at Palm Beach?
43:36No one here marries for love anyway.
43:39Which...
43:41would make us special because...
43:45I happen to love you very, very much.
43:51I don't have a ring.
43:55Wait.
43:59Come here.
44:03This bride should have something more befitting.
44:06I'll trade you.
44:14This ring...
44:16The one thing in all of Palm Beach that's truly mine...
44:20Should go to my daughter Penelope.
44:22Which is what I attended on her wedding day, which never came to pass.
44:2920 years ago.
44:46Here we are.
44:47Gathering together.
44:48The day of your witnesses...
44:49Perhaps I had a wicked childhood.
44:50Perhaps I had a miserable youth.
45:03Perhaps I had a wicked childhood.
45:12Perhaps I had a miserable youth.
45:16But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past...
45:17There must have been a moment of truth.
45:19But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past...
45:21There must have been a moment of truth.
45:22For here you are standing there loving me...
45:23There must have been a moment of truth.
45:25There must have been a moment of truth.
45:29For here you are standing there loving me...

45:41So somewhere in my youth...
45:42Or childhood...
45:43I must have done...
45:44Something good...
45:45Nothing comes from nothing...
45:46Nothing ever could...
45:47So somewhere in my youth...
45:48So somewhere in my youth...
45:49Or childhood...

46:31Good...
46:35I can't be Maxine.
46:36I can't spend the rest of my life...
46:39Hung up on the ins and outs...

56:57Paris is beautiful this time of year.
57:00Thank you for wiring such a hefty chunk of the baby money.
57:05I know how hard you worked for it.
57:07It allows me to be free.
57:08It allows me to be free.
57:10I can be anyone I want to be, anywhere I want to be.
57:14So thank you.
57:17Thank you for helping me become truly lost.
57:20So I could finally be found.
57:35Maxine, I found love.
57:37It starts with you.
