第六感生死缘Meet Joe Black Movie Script

ALLISON:

And you could care less --

PARRISH:

Oh, you couldn't be more wrong, sweetheart. I can' tell you how much I appreciate it and how I'm looking forward to it.

ALLISON:

Good. Songs. What songs should Sidney -- Pancho and his six men we can forget about -- what songs do you think he should play? A stab of pain, Parrish discreetly grabs his upper arm but manages to keep his attention on Allison.

PARRISH:

Tell it to me again. Suddenly, the Voice cuts in:VOICE (V.O.) ...Yes. Parrish's head snaps, startled by the SOUND. VOICE (V.O., cont'd) (to Parrish) Did you miss me? Parrish reacts once more, aware again he is the only one who has heard the Voice, as an oblivious Allison continues:

再告诉我一遍。突然，声音打断了：Voice（V.O.）……是的。帕里什被这声音吓了一跳，头猛地一跳。（对帕里什）你想我了吗？帕里什再次作出反应，再次意识到他是唯一一个听到这个声音的人，正如一个被遗忘的艾利森继续说道：

ALLISON:

(to Parrish) Never mind. Leave it to me. Parrish ignores her, his attention has been taken by the Voice. His eyelids flutter, nonplused, edgy and fearful.

（对帕里什说）没关系。交给我吧。帕里什不理她，他的注意力被那个声音吸引了。他的眼皮颤动着，困惑着，急躁着，恐惧着。

LUISA:

Mr. Parrish, dinner is served.

ALLISON:

(to Quince and Drew, across the room) Chow-time, you guys. Parrish is confounded. Blindly and disconcerted, he follows Allison and Drew and Quince. INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT As a disturbed Parrish approaches the table, he hears the

ALLISON:

(to Drew) Did you speak to the Governor?

DREW:

He's coming.

ALLISON:

His wife?

PARRISH:

Is somebody waiting outside, Luisa?

LUISA:

I didn't hear a ring, sir.

PARRISH:

Please have a look -- Luisa goes as Coyle continues serving.

ALLISON:

(to Quince) What about the Mayor?

QUINCE:

He said he would be there with bells on.

DREW:

Good, maybe they'll drown him out. Parrish is still not hearing a word, preoccupied with the return of Luisa.

ALLISON:

Please don't be negative, Drew, we have an acceptance list that would do The White House proud -- The Secretary-General of the UN, the Chairman of the FCC, nine Senators, I don't know how many Congressmen, and at least twelve of the Fortune '500'.

QUINCE:

No jocks? A twenty-game winner or a Masters champion? Someone I could talk to. (a moment) Or would talk to me. Luisa returns to Parrish as the others' conversation drones

on:

LUISA:

You're right, Mr. Parrish. There was a gentleman at the door. He's waiting for you in the foyer. Parrish is stunned.

ALLISON:

I've arranged for favors -- silver charm bracelets for the women, platinum keychains for the men -- all engraved 'W.P.' -- but now I'm thinking of scrubbing them, they seem so ordinary.Finally Parrish rises from the table, starts out. ALLISON (cont'd) Are they ordinary? Do they seem that way to you, Daddy?

PARRISH:

Uh -- I don't know. No - uh - I don't... Allison is about to press the point, but then drifts into disappointed silence as Parrish leaves the room.

DREW:

(to Allison) You're overthinking it --

QUINCE:

I don't think they're ordinary. I love keychains. INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE LIBRARY, PARRISH TOWNHOUSE - NIGHT Parrish moves deliberately down the hall, slows as he nears the doorway to the library. The door is open. He hesitates before he crosses the threshold, taking in as much as his eye can see, now tentatively, he enters. INT. LIBRARY, PARRISH TOWNHOUSE - NIGHT A beautiful, classic room, areas of dim, warm light, club chairs, books reaching to the ceiling, a rolling library ladder, a weathered dictionary on a stand, a model boat carved of bone set into the stacks which are separated from the reading area by a seven-foot high partition of obscured glass. Parrish, poised in the doorway, looks around, nothing in sight.

PARRISH:

Hello? Silence. PARRISH (cont'd) Anyone here? No response. PARRISH (cont'd) I said is anyone here?! VOICE (V.O.) Quiet down. Parrish is startled, he shrinks backward for a moment, his eyes searching the room for the Voice, the timbre and pitch of which is exactly what he has heard before. There is the sense that someone is there but Parrish cannot see him, and he does not dare look.
