Lady, Stay Dead

The End

¶¶

I'm sorry.

And continuing fine weather along the coast.

We'll be close to a high of 75 around 2 o'clock,

with those welcome sea breezes bringing relief later in the day,

with a good chance of a cool evening.

Little smog this morning, and health authorities are predicting

a below-average reading downtown.

So, another glorious summer's day coming up.

Hope you'll be making the best of it wherever you are.

Here at COA 11, we'll be doing our best to keep you informed and entertained.

So stay tuned, because on the coast, we give you the most.

John Garwood with you until mid-morning.

And lots of good music with all the news as it happens on the half hour.

We'll update the traffic situation for you after this next number.

Time right up ten minutes past six.

*music*

Loving from a distance, longing from afar,

Needing so to know your touch, imagining you are

Close enough to feel my need and hunger for me too.

Your eyes reveal your need for me

To love you as I will

But if we pass

You cannot even pass the time of day

Uncaring, unknowing

You'll go away

Too far away

I must bring you closer

Somehow make you care

Let me know the warmth of you

Let me take you away

You will learn to need me

As the earth meets rain

And loving from a distance

Will be gone

And within pain

Yes, well, I can make it on Friday.

I'm busy till then.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Barry, you sure about the money?

Well, that's fine.

Fine.

Oh, same as usual.

Boring.

Boring. Do you mind? I'm talking to my agent.

I'll give you love to last forever

If you'll just remain

But I've noticed, I've needed

I'll wait for you

I'll wait in vain

I must bring you closer

Somehow make you care

Let me know the warmth of you

Let me take you away

You will learn to need me

As the earth needs rain

And loving from a distance

Will be gone

And within faith.

Louise is coming, I called it. - Oh, you got it?

Yes.

How they going out there, Pops?

Be finished before lunch? - Yeah, looks like it.

They've got enough people. Like a bloody circus up there.

All they need to know are the elephants.

Hey, Mason, watch the noise.

They're shooting sound in there.

Hi, George. - Hi.

Brian, nice to see you again. - Good evening.

Good evening. - Good evening.

Cheers, sir. - Thank you.

Hello, Alex. - Thanks, sir.

George. - Good.

I'm Brian. - Nice to meet you.

Okay, let's get ready for a take, please.

Back to the top, please.

You can pull from the ball if you want to get it.

Yeah.

It's going great, Marie.

They'll sell a million, and you look a million dollars

through the lens as usual.

Yeah, right.

So long as we're finished by lunchtime.

How are we going for time?

There's no problem.

It's not even nine o'clock.

Places, everyone.

Final check before we shoot.

First positions, please.

Everyone quiet.

Quiet, please.

Stand by for take.

Okay, let's shoot it.

Roll sound.

Speed.

Market.

Shin-Haglo 63, take 3A.

*thud*

Gordon!

I want you to clean up that rubbish now.

I'm sorry.

Mow the lawns before you leave.

I mowed them yesterday, Miss Colby.

Like you asked for today's shooting.

In that case, mow them again.

That's what you get paid for.

You sure I can't go to the airport to pick up your sister?

No, thanks. I haven't seen her for a while.

She'll be expecting me.

Why do I look that tired?

No.

You had a busy morning.

I saw the trucks and the helicopter.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on your sister.

Thanks, Billy.

Yeah, she might need something while she's here.

I'll pick her up from the airport, and I'll be back about 2:30.

No problems, miss.

You'll be on location till Wednesday.

Mm-hmm.

It's only four days filming at the farm.

Well, I'm up to the beach.

Gotta keep the wane off.

See you when I get back.

Right.

Oh, yes, I've talked to all the two mother-in-law's again.

OK, I'll clean the pool while you're gone.

Great.

Don't forget to look in on Jenny.

I won't forget.

Come on, kid.

Come on, sir.

I'm sorry.

*sad music

Ah.

Oh.

Hello?

Yes?

What?

Mrs. Curtis, hang on. I can't hear a thing.

Gordon?

Gordon?

Gordon?

Hey, Dad, I can't hear a thing on the telephone!

Right. Now, what's all this about cosmo-cosmetics?

Dinner tomorrow night? No way.

Now, my sister's coming here. I'm going to pick her up from the airport,

and then I'm off to location.

You know that I'm not interested in those damn cosmetic salesmen and dinners!

Mrs. Curtis, do I have to spell it out? The answer's no!

Gordon!

Gordon!

There's some garbage here. Take it away with you.

And open the gate. I've got to go to the airport.

I love you.

What are you doing inside the house?

You know you're not allowed in here.

That's okay. - And get those filthy boots outside.

Get out! - Really?

And how dare you touch anything in this room.

I wanna talk with you.

Out there, you yelled at me like I was some kid.

Get out of the house immediately.

I don't want you in the house.

Who the hell do you think--

Look at that dirt!

Look what you've done to the carpet!

You useless idiot!

Don't you dare say that!

I've waited a long time.

I've had others.

But you-- you're supposed to be different.

They were just dumb housewives.

I'm not putting up with this ridiculous act of yours.

You, you're getting out of here and you're not coming back.

All the doors are locked.

You might need these.

Right.

You want to play games, do you?

Well, you're fine.

I'm gonna get Billy Shepard on the phone and he'll come over and he'll get rid of you.

Be my guest.

And with his pain

You're right. I want to play games.

Like you did with that guy.

That guy in a suit. All nice and neat.

And a fancy helicopter. Is that it, huh? Is that it?

I'll soon make you forget him.

When you see how good I am.

Forget him.

No.

Gordon, Gordon, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

If it's money you want, I'll give you some.

There's only one thing I want from you.

Gordon, you're hurting me.

Gordon, I can't move.
