19 scenes
(during the interview)
The key to my success has been in identifying talented individuals, and harnessing their efforts.
Anastasia So you are a control freak?
Oh, I exercise control in all things, Miss Steele.
(during the photo shoot, about Christian)
You do realize that he hasn't stopped looking at you.
Anastasia He asked me to go for coffee afterwards.
Anastasia (drinking her Cosmo)
I broke rule seven, clause five.
We'll let it go. Let's not talk about the contract right now.
What about you? I'd like to know more about you.
Anastasia There's really not much to know about me. Look at me.
Anastasia Why are you trying to change me?
I'm not. It's you that's changing me.
Anastasia (shyly)
He was polite. Intense. Smart. Really intimidating.
I want to take you to my playroom.
Anastasia But I haven't signed the contract.
I'm well aware. Call it due diligence.
Anastasia I'll review all these changes and try to arrive at a decision.
You want to leave?
Anastasia Yes.
But your body tells me something different. Your legs, for instance. The way you're pressing your thighs together under the table. And the change in your breathing. And in your complexion.
Anastasia My complexion?
You're flushed.
Anastasia That could just be the wine.
It's the adrenaline.
Anastasia What the?
What a pleasant surprise, Miss Steele.
Anastasia Just Ana. (clears throat) Just Ana. You're in here?
I was in the area on business. Needed to pick up a few things.Are you free?
Anastasia Yeah! What can I help you with?
Do you stock cable ties?
Anastasia Cable ties, yes we do. I can show you if you want.
Please lead the way, Miss Steele.
Anastasia Just Ana. Is that it?
Masking tape.
Anastasia Are you redecorating?
No.
Anastasia Um, we have two inch and one inch, but the truly self respecting handyman will have both in his toolbox.
Of course he will.
Anastasia It's rare to find a connoisseur these days. Do you want anything else?
Yes. Rope.‘’(watching her measure out rope by hand)’’ That's impressive. You a girl scout?
Anastasia Um, no. Organized group activities aren't really my thing.
So what is your thing?
Anastasia I don't know. Books? Okay... rope, tape, cable ties. You're look complete serial killer.
It's just behind this door.
Anastasia What is?
My playroom.
Anastasia Like your Xbox and stuff?
It's important that you know you can leave at anytime.
Anastasia Why? What's in there?
I meant what I said. The helicopter is on standby to take you whenever you want to go.
Anastasia Christian, just open the door!
Anastasia Why am I here, Christian?
You're here because I'm incapable of leaving you alone.
Anastasia Then don't. Why'd you send me those books?
I thought I owed you an apology.
Anastasia For what?
For letting you believe that I... Listen to me. I don't do romance. My tastes are very singular. You wouldn't understand.
Anastasia Enlighten me, then.
Anastasia (drunkenly)
Yeah, this is me. I'm sending back your expensive books because I already have copies of those. Thanks though for the kind gesture.
You're welcome. Where are you?
Anastasia Oh, I'm in line because I have to pee really bad.
Anastasia, have you been drinking?
Anastasia (laughs)
Yeah! I have, Mr. Fancy Pants. You hit... you hit the hail on the nead. I mean the head right on the nail.
Listen to me. I want you to go home right now.
Anastasia You're so bossy! Ana, let's go for a coffee. No, stay away from me Ana! I don't want you! Get away. Come here, come here! Go away!
That's it. Tell me where you are.
Anastasia A long way from Seattle! A long way from you.
Which bar? What's it called?
Anastasia I don't know. I gotta go, though.
Anastasia You're a sadist?
I'm a dominant.
Anastasia What is that mean?
It means that I want you to willingly surrender yourself to me.
Anastasia Why would I do that?
To please me.
Anastasia To please you? How?
I have rules. If you follow them, I'll reward you. If you don't, I'll punish you.
Anastasia What can I get out of this?
Me.
You have a beautiful body, Anastasia. I want you unashamed of your nakedness. Do you understand?
Anastasia Yes sir.
You're biting your lip. You know what that does to me.
Please don't hate me.
Anastasia (crying)
You'll never do that to me again. I'm not what you want.
No. You're everything that I want.
Anastasia I've fallen in love with you.
Good morning, Anastasia. How you feeling?
Anastasia Better than I deserve. Did you put me to bed?
Mmhm.
Anastasia You undressed me?
I didn't have much choice.
Anastasia Where did you sleep? (as Christian points next to her) God, did we? We didn't?
Necrophilia's not my thing.
Anastasia You just slept, then?
It was a novelty for me, too.
Anastasia How did you start doing this?
One of my mother's friends. I was 15.
Anastasia She seduced you?
I was her submissive for six years.
Anastasia Seriously? Does your mother know that?
Of course not. No one in my family knows about this part of me.
Anastasia So she introduced you to all this? Mrs. Robinson?
Anastasia You still talk to her?
On occasion. We're friends.
Anastasia Impressive
I've done this before....business meetings i mean.
Miss Steele, your meeting.
Anastasia Page 1: Strike out my old address and replace with the new one.
An oversight. Duly noted.
Anastasia Page 3, Section 15;20: The submissive shall submit to any sexual activity demanded by the dominant and shall do so without hesitation or argument. (laughs) Um, turn to page 5, Appendix 3. Soft limits?
With you.
Anastasia Find anal fisting.
I'm all ears.
Anastasia Strike it out. Strike out vaginal fisting, too.
Are you sure?
Anastasia Yep. Same page, is the use of sex toys acceptable to the submissive? Vibrators, okay. Dildos, fine. Genital clamps, absolutely not.
Consider them gone.
Anastasia What do you want? What do you want!
I want you.
Anastasia I'm trying, Christian.
I know you are.
Anastasia Why can't we sleep in the same bed? Why won't you let me touch you? Why does it have to be like this?
If you just sign a contract you wouldn't have to think about anything...
Anastasia Why do you care so much about the contract Christian? Don't you like me the way I am?
Of course I do.
Anastasia Then, why are you trying to change me?
I'm not. It's...
Anastasia I need more! I want more!
