        Trudy is suddenly agitated, after Richard and Dwallah leave
        her alone with Evelyn.  She goes into the cult trance.

                        TRUDY
                Mmmmmmmmmmmm etc.

                        EVELYN (into her mic)
                Oh dear, Yin Trudy seems to have slipped into
                another dimension, the chanting you hear is
                like that from the wedding, I'm not sure what
                this all means . . .

                        TRUDY
                Mmmmmmmmmmmm etc.

                        EVELYN
                I'm alone here with Yin Trudy, who is
                meditating, the sound you hear is the
                meditative humming common to those in the
                Universal Church of Primitive Balance . . .
                I'm not sure how long this is going to last .
                . . .

        TIME CODE: 34:00

                                TRUDY
                Mmmmmmmm: (suddenly ) Shut that off . . .

                        EVELYN
                She's out of the trance now--

                        TRUDY
                Shut that thing off!

        Evelyn shuts off her tape recorder.

                        TRUDY
                Thank you.

                        EVELYN
                Surely.

                        TRUDY
                Can we speak off the record?

                        EVELYN
                Of course.  I thought you were meditating.

                        TRUDY
                I was.  You know my mother, don't you?

                        EVELYN
                Casually.  I've intervieweed her before.

                        TRUDY
                Have you seen her tonight?

                        EVELYN
                No.

                        TRUDY
                But she's here?

                        EVELYN
                I assume so.  Susanne Wheeler expects her to
                make a dramatic appearance any moment now.

                        TRUDY
                You know Susanne?

                        EVELYN
                Better than your mother.

                        TRUDY
                Mother and Susanne are quite close.

                        EVELYN
                I know.

                        TRUDY
                I need to talk to Susanne.

                        EVELYN
                Then talk to her.

                        TRUDY
                Alone -- without anyone knowing.

                        EVELYN
                I'm not sure what you're getting at.

                        TRUDY
                How'd you like a real scoop?  A story that
                would make the national networks.

                        EVELYN
                Go on.

                        TRUDY
                I can't tell you much right now -- but if
                you'd help me get alone with Susanne . . .

                        EVELYN
                I'm not sure why you can't do that yourself.

                        TRUDY
                I don't want -- my husband, I don't want him
                or Cyndi, or anyone in the church, to know
                that I'm speaking to her.

                        EVELYN
                This story has something to do with the
                church?

                        TRUDY
                Only indirectly.  That's all I can tell you
                right now.

                        EVELYN
                I must say, you've whetted my interest
                alright.

                        TRUDY
                Can you find Susanne for me?  I'll meet her
                downstairs.

                        EVELYN
                What do I tell her?

                        TRUDY
                That I need to speak to her.

                        EVELYN
                May I ask you something?  Is this wedding
                legitimate?

                        TRUDY
                I can't answer that right now.

                        EVELYN
                That remark is loaded with intrigue.

                        TRUDY
                I'll explain everything later, I promise.  But
                it's urgent I talk to Susanne.

                                EVELYN
                I'll get her -- on one condition.

                        TRUDY
                Which is?

                        EVELYN
                I get exclusive rights to the story.  You
                don't talk to anyone else in the media.

                        TRUDY
                Fine.

                        EVELYN
                I'd want a contract.

                        TRUDY
                Write one out, fine.

                        EVELYN
                It's not that I don't trust you but--

                        TRUDY
                Do whatever you have to do.

        Susanne and the matre-d, fleeing after spying, enter the
        area.  /en7/ /en9/  TIME CODE: 35:30
