Monte Beragon: There you are. Just help yourself. If you don't find what you want, let me know. Mildred Pierce: Are you hoarding bathing suits? Monte Beragon: They belong to my sisters. Mildred Pierce: There's nothing like having a large family. Monte Beragon: Yell if you need help with the zipper. Mildred Pierce: Thank you, but I won't need any help. Monte Beragon: How do you like your drink? Mildred Pierce: Harmless. I like your ocean. Monte Beragon: I borrowed it from the Navy just for you. Mildred Pierce: You have a wonderful view. Monte Beragon: I wouldn't say that. I hope the suit fits better than the robe. Mildred Pierce: It does. Do you live here year round? Monte Beragon: The family mansion is in Pasadena. Complete with iron deer, a ghost and a greenhouse. I come here in the spring. Mildred Pierce: It must be lovely. Monte Beragon: Yes, but lonely. In the spring, a man's fancy turns to what he's thought about all winter. Mildred Pierce: It's a good thing California winters are so short. No whistle? Monte Beragon: I'd need a police siren. Mildred Pierce: Well, here we go. Monte Beragon: Go? Go where? Mildred Pierce: Swimming. Isn't that why we're here? Monte Beragon: I suppose it is. Wait a minute. Mildred Pierce: Come on. Monte Beragon: Hold it. Monte Beragon: Drink? Mildred Pierce: No, thank you. You drink too much. Monte Beragon: I do too much of everything. I'm spoiled. Mildred Pierce: Too many sisters. They all seem to be my size too. Monte Beragon: Yes. I like them your size. To brotherly love! Mildred Pierce: Thank you, Mr. Beragon. Monte Beragon. That's a very unusual name. Spanish? Monte Beragon: Mostly. Maybe a little Italian thrown in. But my mother is a real dyed-in-the-wool Yankee. That's why I'm such a self-controlled and dignified young fellow. Mildred Pierce: And just what do you do? Monte Beragon: I loaf in a decorative and highly charming manner. Mildred Pierce: Is that all? Monte Beragon: With me, loafing is a science. You're very beautiful like that. Mildred Pierce: I bet you say that to all your sisters. Monte Beragon: Shall I tell your fortune? Mildred Pierce: Can you? Monte Beragon: We Beragons come from a long line of teacup readers. I'm not very impressionable. I lost my awe of women at an early age. But ever since you came here, I thought of what I'd say when we met again. Now I can't say anything. You take my breath away. Mildred Pierce: Do I? I like you, Monte. You make me feel... I don't know, warm. Monte Beragon: And wanted? Beautiful? Mildred Pierce: Yes. Monte Beragon: When I'm close to you, there's a sound in the air like the beating of wings. You know what it is? Mildred Pierce: No. What? Monte Beragon: My heart. Beating like a schoolboy's. Mildred Pierce: Is it? I thought it was mine. |
