LONG SUSAN What - you squire her one day and daddy her the next? JACKSON - a slap for her. Hard. Silences her. JACKSON What’s the trouble here, Susan? And he grabs her arm. Pulls her close -- JACKSON (CONT’D) (cont’d)
We were married for three weeks, three years ago - and now you get jealous? LONG SUSAN Jealous? I would sooner shrivel and die alone than let you near me again. JACKSON Then get the girl. LONG SUSAN She’s not here. She was ordered out and is yet to be returned. An anger here that’s little to do with JACKSON. She reaches for a stack of cash on her desk -- LONG SUSAN (CONT’D) They’re late. And what’s worse - they’ve paid me in snide. JACKSON (suddenly alert) Who did? LONG SUSAN
I don’t know. A coachman. Took three of them away in this great charabanc. JACKSON - grabbing at the COUNTERFEIT MONEY -- JACKSON Get your hat. You’re going to see Reid. LONG SUSAN I’m doing no such thing. She reads his look. LONG SUSAN You touch me, I’ll kill you.
