Ava Gardner Surprise.
Where's Howard?
Ava Gardner Oh shut up.
Ava Gardner Are you showing me off, Francis?
Damn right. Give me a kiss.
Ava Gardner No, everybody's looking.
You know why?
Ava Gardner No.
Every cat in here wants to be me and every chick wants to be you. [kisses her on the cheek]
You think you, sweetheart, we'd give you permission to come to Houston with me?
Ava Gardner I don't need permission. What's Houston?
I'm open in a hotel there.
Ava Gardner A hotel?
Yeah. The breads good.
Ava Gardner Awwww, poor Francis, they got you opening hotels now?
What is it with you? It's not enough for you to have a guy, you have to screw with his head too?
Ava Gardner Goodbye, Francis.
Ava, for God's sake, what are you doing?
Ava Gardner Don't you ever grab me like that again!
All right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Come on, your breaking my heart here.
Ava Gardner Go home to your wife and kids. I'm not a home wrecker.
You're not a home wrecker. It was over before New York.
Ava Gardner Oh sure, does she know that?
I never figured out how to tell her.
Ava Gardner Take a lesson from me: Goodbye, Francis.
Ava.
Ava Gardner It's never gonna work between us.
Ava Gardner This is torture, Frank. It's wrecking my career. I can't do this anymore.
Two minutes ago, we were happy. What happened?
Ava Gardner I was being a sap. I want you to go home and get a divorce.
Ava Gardner Yeah... [hands her the drink]
Ava Gardner Thanks. [sits down. Pause] It's not just the heat, Frank. Uh, I think maybe I'm pregnant.
Are you kidding? Baby, that's terrific.
Ava Gardner Look, you can't tell anyone or I might be kicked off this film.
You're the star, they can't do that--
Ava Gardner Frank.
Our baby is more important than any movie.
Ava Gardner Listen. I know how much you want this kid, but it happens to come at the worst possible moment in my life.
I understand. [passively] You're a rising star, you're carrying the baby of a has-been.
Ava Gardner Sometimes I hate you.
That's great. Perfect. [gets up from his seat] You don't want our baby and you hate me.
Ava Gardner Would you listen to me. It's a steam bath out there. There's ants, mosquitos and flies in my face! I have to puke every ten seconds! I'm up against a legendary actor! And this is supposed to be the performance of my life! Now, would you give up the role that you'd kill for, for a baby?
I don't have that role.
Ava Gardner Right. If you did.
Please, I'm asking you to reconsider.
Manie, stop.
This is important to me, Frank.
She's a dish, huh? Now, Frank, ple- Frank...
Ava Gardner Hello, Frank.
What's the matter?
Ava Gardner Nothing.
Well, nothing's running your mascara. [takes off his sailor tie, gently wipes Ava's tears off with it]
Ava Gardner Well, Artie and I had another fight.
Ah, dump the bum. He's just another band leader, I dumped plenty of 'em.
Ava Gardner Now look what you've done. [putting his sailor tie back on] You ruined my perfectly terrible mood.
Miss Gardner, they're ready for you on the set.
Ava Gardner I gotta go.
It was nice meeting you, Ava.
Ava Gardner Likewise, I'm sure. [walks away]
Ava Gardner You can always have me. When we're married.
Ava Gardner Why wouldn't she give you a divorce if you don't love her?
Because she's Italian. She's Catholic. Why don't you ask her?
Ava Gardner You're not trying hard enough.
Ava Gardner I know that if you really wanted a divorce you could get one. You've gotten everything else you wanted in life.
Ava, stop...
Ava Gardner You just want it both ways, that's all this is.
No, I want it one way, with you and you alone. No billionaires, no band leaders, no bull fighters.
Ava Gardner You can have me alone when I get you alone. And in the meantime, maybe the best way to get that if you just left me alone.
Are you crazy?
Ava Gardner This is torture, Frank. It's wrecking my career. I just can't do this anymore!
Two minutes ago, we were happy. What was different then?
Ava Gardner I was being a sap. I want you to go home and get a divorce.
What are you doing?
Ava Gardner It's New Year's Eve.
Ava Gardner I was pregnant, and now I'm not. And I'm glad. And I don't wanna talk about it.
You're not pregnant. [Ava walks to her dressing table, she puts on a necklace] You lost the baby? [pause, angrily] Talk to me!
Ava Gardner I'm not going to let you make me feel bad about this. We got no business having a baby. We don't even have time for each other.
I thought that having a baby would bring us closer.
Ava Gardner Did having three babies bring you and Nancy closer together?
Ava Gardner You used to say the most beautiful things to me.
You used to give me beautiful reasons to say em.
Ava Gardner It's New Year's Eve, and I'm going out because come Monday I'll be right back in the jungle. Are you coming?
Stay with me. I need you.
Ava Gardner And I need people! Lots and lots of noisy happy people!
You walk out that door, baby, you walk out of my life!
