She's up there with him.

I'm just keeping an eye on thembecause I'm afraid something's

going to happen.

I'm afraid someone elseright now is watching them,

is thinking about them.

BETH [VOICEOVER]: It was worth it.

I would go through it again forhim, to be with him one more

time.

Nothing else matters except being with him.

Our few hours together are worth all the pain.

Are you certain?

Mhm.

For the first time in my life.

ROBERT: Morning.

Morning.

ROBERT: Morning to you.

Very pretty.

I need to see those samples.

Barbara, where's my scissors?

OK.

Oh, you be careful the way it falls.

BETH [VOICEOVER]: He'll neverknow how terrified I was.

You see what I mean?

You'll never get better in time.

Oh, she's here.

Oh, you're looking wonderful.

I love working with you.

Oscar.

It's the first time I've ever seen her.

BETH [VOICEOVER]: I wasutterly, hopelessly terrified.

He hated what I'd just done.

I knew it.

My first real job designingand I was as good as fired.

Thank you.

Let me see the jacket without the top.

1973.

Not anymore.

Well you've just changed twoof my designs in two minute.

Took guts.

Turn.

She's so sure of herself.

She's so certain, Grace.

This is a big job on herresume, but to look at her

you would think that she had adozen offers waiting for her.

Well, my darling, you've always been

an excellent judge of talent.

This is different, Grace.

I only hope we can hold on to her.

Does she have a boyfriend?

I haven't the faintest idea.

Boyfriend would be good.

Fiance's better.

The mortgage is the best.

Obligations make wonderful disincentives.

Hi.

If she doesn't fuck them, why do

they keep coming back for more?

Because, darling, men are fools.

Some men.

You'd be so surprises.

Do me a favor, Robert.

If you decide to be a fool kill me first.

Because if you don't, I'llmost certainly kill you.

I'm not interested in models.

Thank God for that.

So who do you design for?

Some idealized woman?

Or is it a fantasy version of yourself?

Who do you design for?

Well, I do what you do.

I design for women I've never met.

A man is at the opera.

It's intermission.

A woman wearing our dress is nowdescending the grand staircase.

Is the man's eye-- at that moment--

is the man's eye drawn toher and no other woman?

Does this dress make herextraordinary in his eyes?

She feels transformed.

Worthy.

More beautiful than she is.

We're almost at our limit here.

Perfect.

Thank you.

ROBERT: Thanks.

The man?

What man?

The man in your story, is healone when he's looking at this

woman-- this other woman?

Is he with his wife?

Hi.

Hi.

Hello.

Well, you are going to introduce me.

Aren't you, darling?

Oh, this is--

I'm Grace Wallace.

You don't know how many good things

Robert has said about you.

Oh, thank you.

I didn't come at a bad time, did I?

Well of course not.

Robert, telephone.

Take the call.

Gives me a chance to tell your young Bethel

all your dirty little secrets.

Interesting.

Well, this is beautiful.

Thank you.

You really are as talentedas Robert says you are.

Yeah.

He talks about all the time, you know?

I'm allowed to claim one a season, you know?

Do you think I'm too old for this?

Well it's my first design.

Well then it would be a tribute, wouldn't it?

Every time Robert sees me init he'll be thinking of you.

All right.

That's it. We're ready now.

There's no more time.

Thank you.

Everyone, please stop.

Let's get these screens.

Oscar.

One second, please. One second.

Just remember, keep this casual.

This is not a show.

We're simply offering a frienda few glimpses at a new look.

All right?

One more thing, remember,please, no one touches

this table until Mr, Barnsdall has.

I hate these dog and pony shows.

All that fawning.

But my presence is required.

And we do we have to do, don't we?

Shouldn't you be wearingsomething of Robert's?

Oh, I wouldn't presume to distract.

Oh, Louis.

Robert.

How's it going, man?

I really appreciate this.

Listen, can I offer you something to eat?

Would you like something to drink?

Why is it the slower ourmetabolism gets the more

people want to feed you?

Grace.

GRACE: Hello, darling.

Thank you for coming.

Pleasure.

Now you know these are works in progress.

Well you don't see a photographer, do you?

[music and laughter]

This is good, Bobby.

This is very good.

Thank you.

Louie, there's someone I want you to meet.

[interposing voices]

[music playing]

That's really funny.

Oh, Andrew, hold the door, dear, for me.

You didn't just give herthe keys to the kingdom,

you opened the doors andperformed the heavy lifting.

No, no, no.

This collection is as much hers as it is mine.

Well why don't you just change the name.

Call it the Robert and Beth collection.

That's got a nice ring to it.

No, that's not the point.

She's just so in touch andshe's just so intuitive.

And I feel like we're one creative entity or--

Shut up!

Shut up!

OK.

Just-- Grace.

Get out.

Grace. Don't.

Don't. Don't.

Don't. - I hate you!

I hate you.

You liar.

Stop it.

OK.

Just listen to me.

We have done nothing.

Yes, you have.

Yes, you have!

You liar.

No.

No.

Sorry.

No.

Don't.

BETH [VOICEOVER]: He's coming for me.

I'm ready.

Everything stops when he enters the room.

All of them desire him.

I'm the one he wants.

Everyone thinks we're having an affair.

We are.

You are so beautiful.

You are.

You absolutely are.

[TIRES SQUEALING AND HORN HONKING]

You didn't see that.

I promised myself, no holding back.

What?

Wait.

Wait.

Are you certain?

Mhm.

For the first time in my life.

[moaning]

BETH [VOICEOVER]: I'm fading.

The cold is spreading through me.

But I still can't let go.

Never to see him again.

We are all together now.

Again.

I ask myself, why do I keep doing this?

It was worth it.

I'd go through it again for him.

Nothing else matters except being with him.

Our few hours together our worth all the pain.

Have you ever been jealous?

It's like watching the futurecurdle before your very eyes.

oh no.
