> stella: (whirls around) you bastard! (hits him with the towel several times)

> *******************************************************************

> (stella is sitting on the master bed wearing another dress, but only in white)

> (jack is standing, putting on a new shirt)

> stella: what?

> jack: it's kind of old-fashioned, but my aunt sarah wore it only once.

> stella: oh, the dress..it's beautiful.

> jack: i'm flattered it fits you perfectly.

> stella: yeah, i didn't think it'd fit, but surprisingly, it does.

> jack: my aunt sarah was a beautiful lady when she was in her teens.

> stella: was? you mean..

> jack: is. definitely, is. she's one of the kindest and most elegant people i know. i'm so glad she'd be nice enough to give this whole place to me while she's in paris for the month.

> stella: wow. this whole house? what an opportunity.

> jack: i know. i love this place. one of my favorites.

> stella: you are so lucky. (touches the bed spread) i love the designs. a version of king louii the 14th. i just can't believe she'd leave this whole fortune to somebody like you.

> jack: would you mind turing the other way for a sec?

> stella: why?

> jack: i have to change my pants.

> stella: oh, sorry. (turns around)

> (a silence passes them)

> jack: i apologize, stella. i had no intent to hurt you, or whatever.

> stella:...

> jack: really. i mean it.

> (he walks over to the other side of the bed and faces her)

> jack: (goes on his knees) will you forgive me?

> stella: (looks at him) yes, jack. i do forgive you.

> jack: (smiles) thanks. you're an angel, tonight.

> stella: get up. you'll ruin your pants.

> jack: uh-uh. just a few more minutes..god,you're beautiful.

> stella: stop it, before i change my mind.(laughs)

> jack: but i was good, wasn't i? i scared you for sure.

> stella: are you kidding me? i almost dived out the window.

> jack: that's why i held you back.

> stella: and threw me into the tub.

> jack: sorry, i was too strong..look, i thought that was forgiven.

> stella: ..yeah. oh well, let's go down to party.

> jack: how about we have our own private little party,here? don't worry. i don't kill unless i'm asked to.
