[KNOCK ON DOOR] HELENA: PERASTE. WHICH OF THESE NEGLIGEES DO YOU PREFER? ANDREAS: I BELIEVE THESE JUST ARRIVED FOR YOU, MADAM. HELENA: OH, HOW LOVELY. NOW, WHO COULD THESE BE FROM? WELL -- JASPER JACKS. SO VERY THOUGHTFUL OF HIM. OH. OH, INTOXICATING. PUT THEM NEXT TO MY BED. HELENA: DON'T YOU EVER GET TIRED OF ME? ANDREAS: YOU'VE ALWAYS LOVED THAT COLOR, MADAM. HELENA: AH, BUT I LOVE THE WAY THE RAW SILK DRAPES ON THE BY. LEAVES SO LITTLE TO THE IMAGINATION. THAT WILL BE ALL, ANDREAS. ANDREAS: YES, MADAM. ------------------------------ *****JULY 7, 2000*****
HELENA: NOW, PLACE THE ROSES THAT JAX SENT ME ON THAT TABLE. I WANT THEM TO BE THE FIRST THING HE SEES WHEN HE ARRIVES. OH, AND YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT CANDLELIGHT. DON'T OVERDO. JUST MAKE IT FLATTERING BUT SUBTLE. ANDREAS: MADAM IS RIGHT. I DO KNOW YOUR PREFERENCES, LIGHTING AND OTHERWISE. HELENA: YES, YOU DO, MY DARLING. OH, COME HERE. NOW, THERE'S NO NEED FOR JEALOUSY. YOU AND JAX ARE APPLES AND ORANGES. ANDREAS: I'M NOT JEALOUS. HELENA: NO? THEN WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? ANDREAS: ENVIOUS, PERHAPS. MR. JAX IS MORE FORTUNATE THAN HE KNOWS. HELENA: YES, BUT I WISH HE WEREN'T QUITE SO RELUCTANT. AH, WELL. THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR A CHALLENGE. ANDREAS: WELL, I'M SURE MADAM WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE. HELENA: MY, SUCH CONFIDENCE. WELL, I MAY USE THAT AS INSPIRATION. NOW, REMEMBER, NO INTERRUPTIONS, EVEN IF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT CEASES TO EXIST. ANDREAS: OF COURSE, MADAM. HELENA: I DON'T WANT TO KNOW UNTIL MORNING. ANDREAS: AS YOU WISH. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED? HELENA: NO. EVERYTHING LOOKS PERFECT. ANDREAS: ENJOY YOUR EVENING. HELENA: I INTEND TO. EVERY DELICIOUS, LONG-AWAITED MOMENT. ---------------------------
*****JULY 10, 2000*****
[KNOCK ON DOOR] HELENA: [MUFFLED] COME IN! ANDREAS: MADAM, I REALIZE YOU ASKED FOR PRIVACY, BUT I HEARD THE LAUNCH TAKE OFF. [MUFFLED SPEECH] [DOOR OPENS] ANDREAS: MR. JACKS? [MUFFLED SPEECH] ANDREAS: DOES MADAM WISH TO BE UNTIED? [MUFFLED SPEECH] HELENA: OH, YOU IDIOT. THAT SCOUNDREL. OH. HE TIED ME UP. HE TRICKED ME. AND THEN HE TOOK WHAT HE WANTED AND HE LEFT. ANDREAS: DOES MADAM WISH FOR ME TO GO AFTER HIM? HELENA: AND DO WHAT, SCOLD THE MAN? NO, I'LL TAKE CARE OF JASPER JACKS IN MY OWN WAY. NOW, PRY THIS HANDCUFF LOOSE. NO! GO GET YOUR OWN TOOLS, NOW! ANDREAS: OK, MADAM, I'M SORRY. HELENA: OH. -------------------------
*****JULY 13, 2000*****
HELENA: ANDREAS, GET A PAPER AND PENCIL. I NEED YOU TO MAKE SOME ARRANGEMENTS FOR TOMORROW NIGHT. I AM GIVING A PARTY. ANDREAS: I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D BE IN THE MOOD FOR A PARTY AFTER LAST NIGHT. HELENA: AH. THE GAME GOES ON, ANDREAS. ANDREAS: YES, MADAME. HELENA: PUT THE QUARTERMAINES ON THE LIST. ANDREAS: ALL OF THEM? HELENA: UNFORTUNATELY, YES. I'M TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER THE CASSADINES SHOULD CONTINUE SUPPORTING THAT TIRESOME HOSPITAL. ANDREAS: WILL THERE BE ANY OTHER GUESTS, MADAME? HELENA: OH, INDEED. ONE VERY SPECIAL GUEST INDEED. BUT I WILL MAKE THAT INVITATION MYSELF. IN PERSON.
*****LATER*****
HELENA: ANDREAS, COME IN HERE. ANDREAS: YES, MADAME? HELENA: I JUST FOUND MY MUSIC BOX OUT ON THE DESK AGAIN. NOW, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU I PREFER IT OVER THERE? ANDREAS: FORGIVE ME, MADAME. HELENA: WELL, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR PASTIMES ARE, YOU MUSN'T OVERLOOK YOUR DUTIES. ANDREAS: I UNDERSTAND. HELENA: NOW, SOME THINGS ARE TOO VALUABLE TO RISK LOSING. ANDREAS: I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. HELENA: I'M SURE YOU WILL. -------------------------
*****JULY 14, 2000*****
ANDREAS: SHALL I ESCORT MASTER SPENCER OFF THE YACHT? HELENA: NO, HE'LL BE FINE. --------------------------
*****JULY 18, 2000*****
HELENA: NO MATTER WHAT HER EXCUSE, THERE'S NO LOGICAL WAY THAT CHLOE MORGAN COULD HAVE KNOWN THE MELODY INSIDE MY MUSIC BOX. ANDREAS: SHE SAID THE ONE THEY SAW AT THE MUSEUM PLAYED THE SAME WALTZ. HELENA: OH. THAT POOR GIRL IS GRASPING AT STRAWS. NO, IF SHE WENT TO THE MUSEUM, SHE KNOWS PERFECTLY WELL ALL OF THOSE BOXES ARE DIFFERENT. SHE WAS SO ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. AND THEN ALEXIS TONIGHT. SHE WAS EERILY ACCURATE ABOUT STEFAN'S DEATH, AS IF -- AS IF SOMEONE HAD ACTUALLY WITNESSED IT AND TOLD HER. ANDREAS: BUT WE WERE THE ONLY WITNESSES, MADAM. NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY KNOWN WHAT HAPPENED. HELENA: HMM. ONE WOULD ASSUME. BUT WHAT COULD BE THE POSSIBLE EXPLANATION? I MEAN, THE LOOK ON CHLOE'S FACE WHEN I TOLD HER THAT THAT BOX HADN'T PLAYED 20 YEARS. IT WAS AS IF I CAUGHT HER AND -- I DON'T KNOW -- HAD DISCOVERED HER SECRET. ANDREAS: MS. MORGAN AND MS. DAVIS ARE GOOD FRIENDS, ARE THEY NOT? HELENA: AH. EXACTLY WHAT I'M THINKING. NO, WHAT IF ALEXIS' INFORMATION ABOUT STEFAN CAME FROM CHLOE? I ADMIT IT SOUNDS BIZARRE, BUT I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL THAT -- WELL, THAT CHLOE MORGAN CAN SEE INSIDE MY HEAD. OH. AND THAT'S A RISK I CANNOT -- I CANNOT TAKE. |
