I swear, Pandora, I don't know who can afford to shop in these stores.

It's just ridiculous.

They don't have to buy anything.

I'm sure if you look long enough, you're going to find some kind of a bargain.

Oh, did I tell you about Helen Latimer?

No, but I have a feeling you're going to.

Helen Latimer went out with Olivia Newton -John's gynecologist.

What do you mean, Ann?

Isn't that enough? I mean, Olivia Newton -John.

Living wonder bread, and you have a chance to find out what her cunt is

Honestly, Pandora.

All right, what's it like?

What?

What is it like?

What's what like?

Olivia Newton -John's cunt!

Pandora, will you keep your voice down?

I tell you something in confidence and you tell the world.

Gotta be a little more discreet about this. Would you please just finish the

story? What did Helen Latimer say the gynecologist said?

Olivia Newton -Johnson.

Boring.

What a bunch of junk.

What'd you come in here for?

I'd go anywhere to get away from those stupid stories of yours.

Well, you don't have to be nasty about it. I only told you what Helen Latimer

told me.

Is there something I can help you with?

No, no, thank you. Is it all right if we just look around?

Of course.

I'd be delighted.

Let me know if I can help you with anything.

I never seen this place before.

How long have you been here?

I've always been here.

Did you find something?

I don't know.

Oh, but there seems to be something here behind all this stuff. I assure you

there's nothing of interest.

Up in front of the store, I have several hand -blown bottles. Honestly, Pandora,

the man says there's nothing back there.

Come on, this place gives me the creeps. This is it.

This is what I saw.

Oh, thanks.

That's only an old mirror.

It's of little value.

Oh, please, be careful.

The mirror is very old. Please, just be careful.

Pandora, are you all right?

Pandora?

Pandora!

I'm sorry.

What happened?

I think if you went outside, it got some air.

I was here earlier.

I know that I was here earlier. I saw a mirror. I can't hear you.

I saw a mirror with my friend.

I want to see the mirror.

I'm closed.

I'm afraid it's too late.

I'm about to leave. If you could come back tomorrow.

I just want to buy the mirror. If you let me in for a moment, I can leave a

deposit. Please, young lady, one thing at a time.

Oh, come in. Come in.

Do you take American Express?

Or I can write you a check. I just live around the corner.

Please, first of all, the mirror is not for sale.

Not for sale?

This afternoon, you told me that... I told you nothing.

Nothing. We did not discuss the sale of the mirror.

It's been in my family for many years.

I could not sell it.

Price is no object.

Please, I know.

Money is not the issue here. I knew you'd be back.

You did?

I knew you'd be back alone.

Without your friend.

She's not like you.

She wouldn't understand.

I know.

Can I see it?

Yes.

You'll be careful. And breathe.

The time you spend must be limited.

There is danger.

Yes, I knew you'd be back.

Oh, Oliver, I've been looking for you all day. Oh, Lydia, my dear, I'm glad

found me. I have something for you.

I've been working on it in my spare time for quite some while now.

Inasmuch as today is your birthday, well... Oh, what a lovely mirror.

But you must think I'm vain to give me such a gift.

On the contrary, my dear.

You are unaware, I think, of the beauty you possess.

Even General Washington noticed you.

You know what he said to me when he rode through last spring?

McArdle, he said. He always calls me that.

You are a man beset with great fortune that you should have such a beauty for a

wife. Oh, Oliver.

No, it's true.

Look at yourself in your mirror and you'll see what I mean.

I wouldn't spend too much time in front of it.

It's enchanted.

What do you mean?

I made this frame from that old, large oak tree that borders the North Field.

The one that was struck by lightning last fall?

You know what they say.

The wood from a tree struck by lightning is enchanted forever.

All this talk of my beauty has got me reeling, Oliver.

Perhaps you should show me.

I do so want you to.

In the middle of the day?

Good heavens, woman. Have you no sense of shame?

But it seems that we never anymore.

If I were you, I would occupy my thoughts with better things.

I must go into town.

The hills are filled with deserters from both armies. We have a looting problem.

Times are dangerous.

Decent people aren't safe anymore.

Especially women.

Be on your guard.

What's wrong with me?

Why doesn't he make love to me?

He says I'm beautiful.

Why doesn't he show me?

They warned me about marrying a man so much older than myself.

They told me this would happen.

But he was so kind.

Abigail Warren says her husband makes love to her until she screams with

pleasure.

My God, man.

We've been waiting here nearly two hours.

I'm lucky I got through it all.

We're going through it everywhere.

At this point.

Whichever army catches us, we'll be hung for sure.

Maybe Oliver's right.

Maybe I have no shame.

God, whatever happened to your horse, man?

She threw a shoe a mile back.

I wish we had some food.

I remember seeing her farm just across the next bend.

Well, then let's try to reach it.

But my breasts are beautiful and full.

They need a man to touch them.

My body is beautiful.

Why does no one want it?

Ah, it's good food and a good went. That's what life is. If you truly are an

enchanted mirror, I need someone to want me. I need a man.

Any man.

Ah, my dreams fulfilled.

Hello, my dear.

No! Come this way, this way.

We're here to delight you with some pleasure.

There, lay it down there.

Whoa, there we are. Yes, yes.

Ah,

yes.

Oh, believe it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I think you've seen enough for one day.

Hi, Nora.

Hi, Nora.

What?

I'm sorry. I was very far away.

Yes, I know.

Won't you reconsider about selling the mirror?

No.

As I told you, the mirror is not for sale.

But you may see it again.

However, you've seen enough for today.

Hi, Peter.

Hi, honey.

It's a beautiful night out.

Full moon.

Thought we'd take a ride to the beach. What do you think?

Oh, um... With maybe some other time.

Some other time?

Hey, come on, baby. You know, I could call somebody else. You're not the only

one in the book, you know.

Yes. I think you should.

Hey. Hey, honey.

Let's copy.

Pandora, you are just the one I'm looking for.

Oh, hi, Liz.

Surprised to see you up early in the morning.

Oh, I'm on my way to see my shrink.

Say, what is going on between you and Peter?

What do you mean?

Well, it's just that I got a phone call from him this morning.

Oh? He says that you refused to see him, that you hung up the phone on him.

Since when does Peter come to you with his problems?

I thought you two were practically engaged or something.

Listen, why don't you tell that to your shrink? I'm sure he'd be much more

interested in it than I am.

Something's going on, isn't it?

What?

You've seen someone else. I just know it.

Oh, fuck off, Liz.

That Peter Kenner is a good catch, Pandora. You'd better take good care of

I know I would.

Yes, I know. I've come to see the mirror.

I know you have.

I warned you that too much exposure to the mirror is dangerous.

It's too soon after last night.

Please, you can't say no.

I have to see the mirror.

So it's like that.

Yes, it's like that.

I won't be responsible.

Please.

Sparrow said she'll be down in a minute.

That's nice.

Gotta stay in shape if I'm gonna be a movie star.

Carlos, Lance has gone down to greet Mr. Freed at the pool.

Would you like me to escort you to the pool, Miss Sparrow?

Oh, Carlos, you're so thoughtful and sensitive.

You know just what a woman needs.

I try to please you, Miss Barrett.

And you do, Carlos.

You do.

But I need you to please me now.

Ah, but Mr. Freed is waiting by the pool, Miss Barrett.

Agents always wait.

It's their job.

I'm Lancelot Duval.

I beg your pardon?

Lancelot Duval. It's French.

Oh, most assuredly. I thought it up myself.

Did you?

Miss Barrett says you gotta have a good catchy name. You know, something they

remember. She should know.

It's getting better.

Oh, you red -hot Latin, you...

Carlos. I want to come, Carlos.

I'm her fiancé, you know.

Congratulations. Likewise, I'm sure.

Sidney, how charming to see you. Veronica.

You look lovely, as always.

Oh, you old flatterer. You still know the right things to say.

Oh, I just had a fascinating conversation with your betrothed here.

Oh.

Lancelot, dear, would you fetch me my cigarette holder? I've left it in the

library. Right, Miss Barrett.

He's such a dear.

Oh, charming.

Uh, Miss Barrett?

Yes, Lancelot?

Uh, where's the library?

Never mind, Lancelot. Why don't you just fix Mr.

Freed and myself a drink?

Right, Miss Barrett.

Quite a fellow.

Cut the shit, Sidney.

Why did you come out here?

I'll be frank, Veronica.

The studio's worried.

Oh, worried about what to do with all that money they made on my last picture.

Worried about all the money they spent covering up your last escapade.

What escapade?

The Simmons boy.

The Simmons boy.

Hmm.

You call that an escapade?

The studio spent 50 grand to keep the parents from pressing charges.

For what?

He was 17.

Well, he had a cock like a mule.

Is that all you can think about?

I do like girls, too.

Veronica, be serious.

I am serious, Sidney. What I do with my time is my business. Not yours, and

certainly not the studio's. Veronica, you are single -handedly devouring

Southern California.

Now, that's simply not true, Sidney. Why, sometimes Lance and Carlos help.

I give up.

Anyway, I brought you this for your birthday.

Oh, a picture of my favorite person.

How thoughtful you are, Sidney. Oh, I knew you'd love it.

Now, the studio was sending over a new makeup girl they want you to meet this

afternoon.

And I want you to promise you'll behave yourself.

And that goes for your glamour, bozos.

Well, you can count on me, Sidney.

I feel like a born -again virgin.

I promise I won't touch her hair on her pretty little head.

Miss Barrett, this is Miss Olsen.

The studio thought you might like to meet her.

Oh, this is a great honor for me, Miss Barrett.

I've always admired your work. I'm so glad.

Oh, why, you're a very pretty girl, Miss Olsen.

Oh, please call me Nancy.

Oh, thank you.

Tell me, what have you heard about me, Nancy?

Um, what do you mean?

Never mind.

You can start by rubbing me with this suntan oil.

Oh, no.

Oh, you're much better than the last one.

I'd like you to meet Miss Olsen.

She's the new makeup girl that the studio sent over.

You can call her Nancy.

Hi.

Miss Barrett, I'd like to see her with her clothes off.

Oh.

That's nice.

Yeah.

I'm going to come now.

I'm going to come until you're ready.

I'm coming.

I know.

That is one of the dangers.

Spending too much time in front of the mirror is dangerous. I've told you that.

Yes, I know.

God. It's okay.

Hello.

Hi, gorgeous.

It's your favorite heavy breather.

Oh, hi, Peter.

Look, I'm sorry about hanging up on you.

It's okay.

I'll be over in a flash, and you can show me in the flesh, if you know what I

mean.

Maybe some other time. I'm just not myself lately.

I'm beginning to lose a little patience, honey. Are you seeing somebody else or

what? No.

It's nothing like that.

I'm getting a little tired of this. What's going on?

Look, if you don't like it, don't call me anymore.

Pandora?

I told you, Peter, she's obviously seeing someone else. I don't believe it.

Well, how do you think I feel?

She's my best friend.

But, Peter, so are you.

And I just can't stand by and watch her hurt me like this.

Thanks, Liz.

A man needs a woman who is there when he wants her.

A woman who knows what he needs.

A woman who knows how to please a man.

A woman who makes him feel like a man.

Now.

Oh.

I bet it's not like that with Pandora.

It's never like that with Pandora.

I'm going to do something for you, Pandora. I never does.

I want you to come.

And you know where.

I want you to come all over my face.

All over my face.

with my face.

You look different somehow.

Well, I found out something about myself last night.

Oh? What I need, and what I don't need.

What I do need is to see the mirror.

I can see that.

Aren't you going to tell me to be careful?

You've already gone beyond careful.

Far beyond.

I'm so nervous I can hardly speak.

First audition, kid?

Guess you can tell, huh?

My name's Roz.

This is my third open call this week.

Hi, I'm Bonnie LeMay.

Just get used to this after a while, huh?

You never get used to it, Bonnie.

Hey, did you hear Bob Randall's starring?

Ooh, imagine being on the stage with Bob Randall.

I know what you mean.

Okay, thank you very much.

We'll be in touch with you.

Next,

Marnie Falloon.

Fallon. Marnie Fallon, please.

Well, it's a pretty motley crew we got here, eh, Eli?

I know.

And Barbara's coming down here this afternoon.

She's not going to find this too stimulating.

Ah, you know Barbara.

She doesn't find it stimulating on one level. She might find it very

on another.

That's not a bad idea.

That is her one weakness.

The great Barbara Mellon, Broadway's biggest producer, brought to her knees

the bulge in some actors' Levi's. Or a nice pair of tits, for that matter. Keep

your eyes open for a likely candidate.

my drama teacher back home knew that I was auditioning for a big Broadway show

starring Bob Randall.

A huge change.

Directed by Eli Rasp.

Produced by Barbara Mellon.

Oh, these are the people I've always dreamed of meeting.

I'd watch out for Barbara Mellon if I were you, Bonnie.

What do you mean?

I don't want to burst any bubbles for you, but...

Barbara Mellon has a nasty reputation for devouring young performers.

Oh, she's done so much for theater.

That's what's really important.

No, nobody's perfect.

You know, I'd do anything to get for this show.

Anything is a pretty big word, Bonnie.

Miss Marilyn, what a genuine honor to have you at the audition today. Well, I

think you'd be pleased with the audience, with the talent, Mrs.

Go right in this way, here.

Get on your toes, Eli. Here she comes.

Oh, shit.

Barbara, darling.

How wonderful you could make it today.

Good morning, Eli.

Can I get you a cup of coffee?

I'd rather you get me some talented performers, Eli.

I'm sure knowing you're here, they'll work extra hard.

That's a crap, Eli. I only came down here to find out what my money's doing.

do like to get my money's worth. Isn't that right, Maxine? Yes, Miss Miller.

and you will, Barbara. You will.

Next girl for 70, Bonnie LeMay.

Bonnie LeMay.

Really?

Anything? Mm -hmm.

Close the auditions.

All right, kids, that's it for today.

Anyone we haven't seen can come back tomorrow, 9 a .m. sharp.

Remember what number you are.

Where do you think you're going?

Me? You're talking to me?

Yes, you.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Rasp.

The stage manager said that the auditions were all over.

After you, it's over.

What's your name?

Bonnie LeMay, sir.

All right, Bonnie LeMay.

What work have you done before?

Well, in Grand Rapids, I spent... Two years at the community theater.

Grand Rapids Community Theater.

Well, I think you'll find we do things a bit differently here.

I like to work with actors who are completely in touch with themselves, who

dig down and come up with something personal to add, no matter what the

Actors who are beyond embarrassment, regardless of how... private the scene

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Good. Now, I'm going to give you a situation and a prop, and I want you to

out a scene for yourself.

It is from your sweetheart.

You haven't seen him in six months. He's far away and in some sort of danger.

My dearest Bonnie.

Even though I can't have you here next to me, your image is with me always.

I am sending you something.

Something that I have kept close to my body for a long time so that it could

develop my scent and essence.

I have handled it and held it close so that we could have a physical

connection.

Although half the earth separates us.

Think of it as part of me.

Make it a part of our life apart from each other.

Separate.

But together.

And now physically joined.

There is great danger near me now.

But somehow I find it comforting.

knowing that you can be touched by something I am.

Gaze into the nearest mirror, my darling, and see what I see each time I

my eyes and feel me inside.

I love you always.

Never done this by myself.

I think you're going to be a star someday.

Thank you.

Sandra, look at me.

I'm all right.

Really, I am.

Each time you gaze into the mirror, you seem farther away.

You must sell it to me.

You can see how much it means to me.

Yes, I can see that.

I cannot sell it.

But... But what?

But I have to go away for a couple of days.

Perhaps you could look after the mirror for me.

In your apartment.

Do you mean it?

I'd take awfully good care of it. You wouldn't have to worry.

It's not the mirror I'm worried about, Pandora.

Remember to keep it covered.

Just as you can see in the mirror, the mirror can see you.

It has a soul of its own.

And it has certain needs.

Don't ever let it see too much.

Otherwise... Otherwise... I knew you would be back.

I knew it.

Do you know what they say goes on here at the Hellfire Club?

Yes. That's why I wanted us to go.

It's not too late to turn back.

I don't want to turn back.

I love you, Edgar.

If you love me, you'll take advantage of every opportunity offered you tonight.

I will be watching.

And the more I see, the more fulfilled I will become.

If you love me, Alice, you will remember that.

I love you, Edgar.

Perhaps you should check your purse, my dear.

No. I think you should check your purse.

All right, Edgar.

The purse.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Ah, somebody new.

How would you like to sit in the throne and sit for queen?

Sounds like the best bop we've had all evening, my dear.

Come here.

Now you boys treat her just like a queen.

I want you to give her everything.

I think this is the life that God has given to all men.

Thank you.

She loves it. She loves it.

Oh, it's like crazy.

It's a mess.

It shoots all the way down to the feet.

I got horn in it.

Oh!

Remember Pandora, keep the mirror covered.

Pandora, keep the mirror covered.

Pandora!

Thank you.

Pandora Pandora

Pandora.

Pandora. Pandora.

Pandora. We'll give you everything, Pandora.

Pandora. Come to us, Pandora.

We knew you'd come Welcome home Pandora

We

knew you'd

come
