:B3330 B - /en6/ /en10/ TIME CODE: 33:30 Richard and Cyndicome downstairs, Richard catching up with her in the area. YANG RICHARD Hold on a minute. What's going on? CYNDI Nothing. YANG RICHARD You're jealous of that broad. I don't believe you. I thought we just settled that. CYNDI And I don't believe you. You get next to a microphone and there's no shutting you up. You just had to wax poetic about this whole sham, didn't you? You couldn't just answer the questions like a normal groom, oh no, you had to come off like Sir Galahad or Lancelot, some lovestruck romantic-- YANG RICHARD Hold it, hold it! This is really ridiculous. CYNDI Is it? YANG RICHARD What are you afraid of? I've told you I have no interest in going to bed with her. But even if I was, we've always had an open relationship, we've always given each other freedom to explore ourselves. What's the sudden jealousy trip? You sound like some uptight bitch from the fifties. A real Doris Day trip, man. I don't believe it. CYNDI I never believed in this scam in the first place. YANG RICHARD You know we need the money. CYNDI The surrogating business is going to make us both wealthy, and you know it. YANG RICHARD I believe it, but in the meantime we've got legal bills up the yinyang. Hey, that's funny, I've got to remember that -- "up the yinyang." We ought to add it to the ceremony. CYNDI The ceremony almost made me puke. YANG RICHARD Don't lose your sense of humor on me, Cyndi. Lose your sense of humor and the church is in trouble. CYNDI I liked acting better. YANG RICHARD What do you think you're doing now? CYNDI When we had the traveling company. It was a hell of a lot more fun. YANG RICHARD You like sleeping on the ground, right. Living out of a suitcase, right. All you ever did was bitch. CYNDI The gig in New Orleans was nice before you got us into dealing. We could've done more like that, just straight theater. YANG RICHARD I'm not fond of being poor. CYNDI Because your brain is between your legs. If you hadn't started messing with Lady What's-Her-Face, the Mardi Gras grand pooh-pah, with her prodigious cocaine habit-- YANG RICHARD Well, listen to Miss Virtue. Who was banging her way up the corporate ladder? Look, why are we fighting? Because of a twit like Trudy? Let's keep everything in perspective. CYNDI I shouldn't've let you go through with it. YANG RICHARD Man, she's so moonstruck, how could we turn down a natural sucker? CYNDI She could've joined the church without you marrying her. YANG RICHARD Expediency. Now we can get our hands on her money immediately. Before we'd've had to woo it from her a little at a time. CYNDI She doesn't seem all that moonstruck to me. YANG RICHARD She's a pushover. Born with a golden spoon in her mouth and spiritually at sea -- she'll do anything I suggest. So we get the money out of her account and into ours, and I file for divorce. I've already got the papers ready, I told you that. CYNDI There's something about her -- it's too pat, somehow. YANG RICHARD Candy from a baby, sweetheart. Come on, lighten up. Let's have fun with this. Why don't we get into a little post-marital mumbo-jumbo, amuse the troops. Get into a fertility rite, how's that? CYNDI I'm not sure I have the energy. YANG RICHARD Man, we got radio and TV coverage, it's a better stage that we used to have. Let's go for it, improv a little, see what we can get away with. Cyndi, where's the old energy, the joy in the performance, laughing all the way to the bank? Hell, let's pass the hat, with this kind of crowd we'll probably hit four digits. Seriously, let's do the fertility rite, it'd be a kick. CYNDI You never quit, do you? YANG RICHARD Born performer, just like you. CYNDI I must be coming down with something. I've felt rotten all week. YANG RICHARD You don't have to do anything during the fertility rite except moan and groan, not much energy involved there. CYNDI Let me think about it. YANG RICHARD Look at this crowd, they didn't know what the hell to think about the wedding. The fertility rite will blow their mind. CYNDI At least you have to do all the work. YANG RICHARD I'll find Trudy, and we'll do it where we did the wedding. CYNDI Not yet. YANG RICHARD Be good for you, it'll get you out of yourself. CYNDI Out of my manic/depressive self, you mean. YANG RICHARD We're going to be fine. You're right, the surrogate scam is the best gig we've had, and it's even legal. Once we get that cokescam rot behind us-- CYNDI Is it rot, isn't it? You haven't set something up behind my back? YANG RICHARD No way. New Orleans was enough drug hustling to last a lifetime, believe me. We could've ended up in jail. CYNDI I never wanted anything to do with it. I don't want anything to do with Trudy. YANG RICHARD She's an absolute pushover, trust me. CYNDI I trusted you in New Orleans. YANG RICHARD You're never going to let me forget that, are you? CYNDI We had a nice acting gig going. YANG RICHARD Being treated like shit, man, come on -- we were paid slaves, darkies on the riverboat, dancing for the plantation owners. Who needs it? CYNDI Tell me you're not dealing. YANG RICHARD Jesus, Cyndi -- how can you even consider that I'd be doing that? CYNDI Because you surprised me once, you can surprise me again. YANG RICHARD I'm not dealing. CYNDI Promise. YANG RICHARD Promise. Christ, man . . . CYNDI Don't be mad. YANG RICHARD I'm doing to try and liven this party up. He exits to find Trudy. /ex6/ TIME CODE: 37:30.
