V. 's Malibu Dream

V: (Calling Jax from Airplane already on her way to see him) In fact it occurred to me that it might be more useful if I was out there with you.

J: Well I disagree.

V: But don't you even want to consider it?

J: Our arrangement is working fine. Listen, I have people on the other line, is there anything else?

V: No sir.

J: Then, have a good evening.

V looks distraught - imagines herself walking up to his house

Jax opens door J: What are you doing here?

V: I was just following my impulse (spoken like a question)

J: I told you to stay in New York. Now only have you disobeyed my order, you've invaded my privacy.

V: But, if you and I could just spend a little more time together.

J: Wait a minute, you're not suggesting - you and I?

V: Yes (meekly)

Jax bursts out laughing

V: I take it you're not that interested?

J: Let me get something straight right now. OK. I am a powerful international businessman, and you are - well - nothing. I mean if you walked out of my life right now I'd barely look up from my correspondence, which contain, I might add, marriage proposals from every contestant in this years Miss Universe Pageant.

V: You're right. What could you possibly see in someone like me?

J: Nothing. Besides I'm still hung up on Brenda Barrett.

V: (aside) So I've noticed. (To Jax) Maybe I could help you forget her.

J: (laughs) You and what modeling agency. Come on. If you're lucky maybe one day you and I will be casual friends, but to expect any more is an insult, to the handsome, wealthy, all around wonderful person that I am. Is that understood?

V: Yes sir, Mr. Jacks, sir.

J: Good. The airport's that way. (Jax leaves and then comes back)

J: Oh, one more thing. You're fired. (Closes door.)

Back to V on Plane - V. looks worried.
