The paparazzi on their scooters catch up with the car. Chace
looks into the rearview mirror:
for the first and only timein the movie, Gail is in tears. PAUL (V.O.) (CONT'D) We aren't like you.
Chace flips the mirror down, giving Gail and Paul theirsolitude, then puts the pedal down and leaves the reportersin the dust.
PAUL (CONT'D) But we were once.
EXT. QUESTURA POLICIA DI STATO (POLICE HEADQUARTERS) -- NIGHT Paul, Gail and Chace ascend the steps of the Questura, surrounded by clamoring reporters.
PAUL (V.O.) But I had an idea that maybe we couldbe again, me and my dad and mygrandfather, if only we could getback to our own world where the force of gravity wasn't so strong. We could be together, like we used to.
INT. GAIL'S APARTMENT -- PAUL'S ROOM -- NIGHT A Squadra Mobile officer reaches under Paul's bed and finds a young boy's suitcase. He zips it open - PAUL (V.O.)
It was just an idea I had, a joke Itold my friends:
what if we gave itall away? 116.
-- and inside are hundreds of letters, all addressed to J Paul Getty and pleading for money. Paul saved them all, rather than sending them Getty's response.
INT. QUESTURA POLICIA -- INTERROGATION ROOM -- NIGHT Paul makes his official testimony to Del Rovere.
PAUL (V.O.) I guess somebody must have overheard me. And once it was out there I couldn't stop it. It wasn't a planor anything. It was just a wish. A stupid kid's dream. Now I know nothing like that could never happen.
I'm not a kid anymore.
And with that, the tape recorder STOPS.
BLACK OUT:
FADE IN:
INT. GETTY OIL COMPANY, LOS ANGELES -- DAY Gail waits in the lobby of Getty Oil.
SECRETARY (O.S.) Ma'am? They'll see you now.
INT. BOARD ROOM -- DAY Gail enters the same board room. Oswald Hinge and the otherattorneys are there; they all rise, smiling as Gail enters.
The only empty chair is that of J Paul Getty himself.
HINGE:
Ms Getty, we offer our sincerestcondolences.
GAIL:
For what?
She looks at the empty chair.
GAIL (CONT'D) Oh. You're very thoughtful.
HINGE:
Please, sit. Mr Getty's death hascreated a bit of a crisis here. You see, Mr. Getty never groomed a successor. Or rather he tried to -- 117.
