:E1930x E / Time: 1930x Maxine enters. /en11/ TIME CODE: 19:30 YIN MAXINE Hello, Jack. JACK Maxine. YIN MAXINE Long time, no see. JACK You got that right. YIN MAXINE Surprised to see me? JACK Should've guessed it -- where goes Trudy, can Maxine be far behind? YIN MAXINE Wrong guess, actually. I joined the church before Trudy did. JACK You lured her into it, then? YIN MAXINE Wrong again. I was in the Bay Area region. Trudy joined in Los Angeles. Yang Richard wooed her, not I. JACK Don't tell me you two haven't renewed old acquaintances? YIN MAXINE We've both changed a good deal, as a matter of fact. JACK I don't think you're the type that changes very much, Maxine. YIN MAXINE You'd be surprised. What if I told you I'm going to become a mother? JACK A mother! Fat chance. YIN MAXINE Well, it's not mine. I mean, not mine to keep. JACK What's that supposed to mean? YIN MAXINE I'm a surrogate mother. I'm three months pregnant this very moment. JACK A surrogate mother? You? YIN MAXINE For the church. It's one of our most successful programs. JACK The church specializes in surrogate mothers, right. Now I've heard everything. YIN MAXINE We believe spiritual inheritance is as important as genetic inheritance. We get the top rate in the market, as a matter of fact. We have a larger demand for surrogate mothers than we can provide. JACK You're putting me on, right? YIN MAXINE Lots can change in a year, Jack. JACK Tell mother that. YIN MAXINE I'd like you to understand why I did what I did. JACK I can guess. What I'd like you to know is you're not going to get away with it. YIN MAXINE After your father died, I expected to retain the same place in the household as I had before. That was the agreement I thought I had with your mother. JACK Obviously she didn't think so. YIN MAXINE When she kicked me out of the mansion, I had no choice but to go to the police, Jack. It was a terrible burden of guilt I was carrying. JACK You don't know the meaning of guilt. YIN MAXINE Yes, I do. I poisoned the cheesecake that killed your father under direct orders from Helen. Yet she planned to cast me out, probably planned to blame the death on me. The autopsy identified the cause of death, after all -- where there's poison, there has to be a poisoner. I did it but I was paid to do it, more or less. So I had no choice but to go to the police and make a deal with them. JACK I don't believe you. YIN MAXINE I'm sure you don't. But it's the truth. I swear by Universal Balance. JACK Universal bullshit! And I'm going to make sure you don't get away with it. YIN MAXINE I just wanted to let you know the truth. It's all I can do. JACK Trudy had nothing to do with with my father's death? YIN MAXINE Heavens, no. It was Helen's idea, from top to bottom. JACK Why would mother want to kill him? YIN MAXINE Surely you can answer that yourself, Jack. JACK This way . . . The matre'd approaches.
