100 MR. PARKER Here you go. (Hands her the drink.) Toujours l'amour! GIRL (Gasping from the drink.) What the fuck is this! What is this, Russell? MR. PARKER (Patting her on the back.) Knocks the tail off of you, don't it! But it gets smoother after the second swallow... Go on, drink up! GIRL Okay. (Tries it again and scowls. Moves away as he sits on bed.) MR. PARKER Now, did you think about what I asked you last night? GIRL About getting married? MR. PARKER Yes. GIRL Why do you want to marry me, Russell? MR. PARKER Because I love you, and I think you could make me happy. GIRL Well, I don't believe you. When I asked you a question about your business, you deliberately ignored me. It was like you didn't trust me, and I thought that love and trust went together. MR. PARKER I'm not so sure about that. My son Theo, I'm wild about him, but I wouldn't trust him no farther 'n I could throw a building. GIRL I'm not your son! MR. PARKER What is it you wanta know? GIRL Where you gettin' all that money from? MR. PARKER Oh, that. That's not for a girl to know. Baby doll. GIRL Then it's time for me to go. I'm not gettin' myself hooked up with no mystery man! (Moves as if to leave. PARKER stops her, then pauses for a moment.) MR. PARKER All right, I'll tell you. I'm partners in a big business, which I'm the president of. GIRL Partners with who, Russell? MR. PARKER That's not important, baby. GIRL Partners with who, Russell. MR. PARKER Mr. Blue Haven. GIRL Blue Haven! Then it's crooked business. MR. PARKER Oh, no baby, it's nothing like that. It's real straight. GIRL What does that mean? MR. PARKER That what we're doing is right! GIRL Tell me about it, then.
