:B5200 B/ 5200 Evelyn enters EVELYN Excuse me, I . . . I was going to use the phone . . . She goes to the phone on the wall and will start to dial, then hang up, not wanting to phone with people around. EVELYN Well, I guess I can phone later. CYNDI Did you want to be alone? EVELYN Oh, no, it's all right, I can call later, it's really nothing. No, that's not true. I've just been through a terrible ordeal. CYNDI You are upset. Make your call, we'll move elsewhere. EVELYN No, please. You might as well know. Well, maybe you already do. I just lost my nerve for a moment -- not used to the big scoop, you know! God, I can't believe this-- . . . She takes a deep breath, regaining her composure. EVELYN I know about the drug deal happening here tonight. And I aim to get to the bottom of it. She thinks she's telling CYNDI something the latter already knows but is met by blank stares. EVELYN You do know what I'm talking about, don't you? CYNDI No, I don't. TRUDY Is this one of Jack's stunts? I can't believe he'd do this at my wedding. EVELYN Maybe, but I don't think so. I think it involves someone in the church. Yang Wolf, for example. TRUDY Yang Wolf is selling drugs? EVELYN Perhaps. CYNDI What makes you so sure something like that is going on? EVELYN I overheard the deal being made. Angelo DiMarco, one of the guests, is in on it as well. Very much in on it -- he threatened my life when I questioned him about it. CYNDI Then that wasn't very smart of you. TRUDY Is anyone else involved? EVELYN Maxine, I think. Or at least her name was brought up. TRUDY I wouldn't put it past her to be the ringleader. CYNDI I don't like talk like this. The church does not deal in drugs. EVELYN I don't mean to involve the church itself -- but some of your members may be involved, without your knowledge. CYNDI Drugs contradict church philosophy. EVELYN Perhaps not all of your members believe church philosophy. CYNDI Then why on earth would they join? She is baiting Trudy now. CYNDI What would be the point? EVELYN I just know what I heard. CYNDI Yin Trudy, explain to her the seriousness of our spiritual purpose. It would be absurd to join the church, to submit yourself to the spiritual discipline of the church, to embrace the difficult task of seeking primitive balance in a culture that has forgotten what balance means -- to join and not believe, not participate? Tell her. Trudy is uncomfortable in this role. TRUDY Well, it does involve discipline. It really doesn't make much sense just to join for the fun of it. EVELYN Not the fun of it -- to run a very profitable drug ring. TRUDY You really think someone is doing that? CYNDI goes to greater extremes to trap Trudy now -- she begins her channelling meditation, humming. CYNDI Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm etc. EVELYN She's channelling, isn't she? TRUDY Yes. EVELYN Why, do you suppose? TRUDY (worried) I don't know. CYNDI Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm etc. Susanne enters from upstairs. /en9/ TIME CODE: 54:00 ?"Continue" :"Continue" Continue
