:F2830 (F) UPPER DECK, AFT - /en6/ /en10/ TIME CODE: 28:30 Yang Richard and CYNDI hurry into the area. CYNDI I was talking to the captain, and I think he knows us. He was captain of the sternwheeler in New Orleans and-- YANG RICHARD Damn, I thought I recognized him. CYNDI Why the hell didn't you tell me? YANG RICHARD Now hold on. So what? He can't prove anything. CYNDI He can certainly make things difficult, if he gets it in his mind that it was us. YANG RICHARD We'll be gone tomorrow. Out of sight, out of mind. CYNDI We can't be sure. YANG RICHARD Cyndi, that was so long ago, the statute of limitations won't let anyone touch us. Just calm down. CYNDI We never should have gotten involved in this. YANG RICHARD Now you know it's easy money. CYNDI I don't like the risk. YANG RICHARD What risk? CYNDI To us. YANG RICHARD Don't get into that again. What's the difference between this and what we've always done? CYNDI It's not the same. YANG RICHARD Surely you're not jealous. CYNDI Times have changed -- I mean, think about it, when you sleep with anyone any more you're sleeping with everyone else who ever slept with them. A rich bitch like her, who knows what she's been into? YANG RICHARD I never planned to sleep with her. CYNDI How can you not? YANG RICHARD She likes to party and doesn't hold her liquor very well -- I plan to keep her drunk. CYNDI Shå isn't even drinking. Even if she does, you can't keep her drunb forever. YANG RICHARD Only until she transfers the funds to the church. I'll file for divorce immediately -- in fact, I've already done the paperwork. Relax, nothing is going to go wrong. CYNDI Everything's been going wrong. Ever since the government got into it, I still want to know how that started. It had to come from inside, a dumb accusation like that, someone who wants to get even for something. But who? And for what? YANG RICHARD I've been thinking about that. I think it must be a surrogate mother who wanted out of the deal. There's probably lots of Baby-M mothers around, not psychologically together to keep their share of the bargain. CYNDI I don't remember anyone wanting to back out. YANG RICHARD Oh, quite a few bring up the subject, actually, but they're easily persuaded otherwise, once I threaten to take them to court. I thought I've satisfied their objections. But maybe someone had second thoughts and so went to the Feds with this drug nonsense. CYNDI As if we could do better with cocaine than religion . . . YANG RICHARD The safest drug there is -- from our point of view. CYNDI The cost of defending ourselves is getting out of hand. How long is all this going to be in court? YANG RICHARD As long as it takes. CYNDI But if the captain somehow got his information about New Orleans to the Feds, that would improve their case a good deal. YANG RICHARD He's not going to do that because we're not going to give him any reason to suspect us. CYNDI He already does. YANG RICHARD He remembers us from New Orleans. I think we should remember him back -- as tourists on his riverboat. CYNDI He's closer to the truth. YANG RICHARD I know but once we admit knowing him, I think he'll forget the whole thing. CYNDI You're amazing. So calm through everything . . . . YANG RICHARD Because there's nothing to worry about. Really. Now lighten up and enjoy the party. CYNDI You really didn't plan to sleep with her? YANG RICHARD Come on now: jealousy doesn't become you. CYNDI I know we've always had an open relationship, and it isn't the sleeping with her so much but how everything's changed, I mean you don't know who has AIDS and who doesn't any more, it's not like it used to be. YANG RICHARD I agree. CYNDI Is that why you're not sleeping with her? YANG RICHARD I do have tastes. I hope you remember. She's the last person in the world I'd go to bed with. CYNDI And she won't be suspicious? YANG RICHARD Hey, her type, partying is the main point anyway, by the time she sobers up enough to get romantic, I'll have filed the papers -- and, more importantly, we'll have increased our assets considerably. CYNDI I never thought we'd need money. In the beginning, even with all the competition -- I'll never forgive those damn Kree recruiters and all the prospects we lost to the ashram up here-- YANG RICHARD They went under, don't forget. CYNDI The happiest day of my life. YANG RICHARD Listen, the surrogate motherhood business is going to be the wave of the future and we're on the ground floor of that -- our future is very secure, believe me. CYNDI But this damn drug business-- YANG RICHARD We're innocent. CYNDI That's what makes me mad, having to spend all this money to defend ourselves when we're innocent! YANG RICHARD You're cute. CYNDI Promise you won't sleep with her? She's going to want to. YANG RICHARD Is that what's really bothering you? CYNDI I guess it is. YANG RICHARD Cyndi, come on, we've been together too long, been through too much together, for you to act like this. Give me a hug. They embrace. YANG RICHARD We're going to join the party and have a good time. Tomorrow we fly home and I'll bet you a dinner at the restaurant of your choice, dear, that before the week is over I've filed those divorce papers. CYNDI Nothing ever bothers you, does it? YANG RICHARD It's called awareness. CYNDI No one's a match for you. YANG RICHARD Which is what I'm aware of. Let's join the party. They move toward the bar area, into G. /ex6/ /ex10/ TIME CODE: 31:30 ?"Follow them" ?"Bookmark" ?"Exit" :"Follow them" Follow them
