TEA FOR TWO

JACKIE
   Miss Callas, I understand your anger,I heard what you said ,the gold
digger, you hate me,I admire you,you have a career,you made history,I was
at the Met in March 1965, for a fundraising, your Tosca was beyond
words,love,anger,jealousy,you portrayed them all,I envy you,your talent,your destiny
MARIA
   Did you like my voice when you first heard it ?
JACKIE
   I did not,but I was moved, you have a gift,people see the music when
you sing.
MARIA
   I never heard of that one before,no wonder Ari fell for you,you know how to
flatter,what did you tell him the first time you met? It was during that
cruise,Lee orchestrated it,it served her right,you snatched him ,was hoping to marry him.
JACKIE
  You make it sound like we are two mercenaries.
MARIA
   But you are !
 JACKIE
  Miss Callas, I love my son,I want to protect him,they are killing the
Kennedys,sooner than later a bullet will end Jon's life, Ari can
give him a safe heaven,this island,this country will be a good place
for them to grow up,I have only him, and Caroline .
MARIA
   You don't love him,how can you  spend the rest of your life with a man
you don't care for
JACKIE
 I know a good man when I see one

MARIA
     You know a rich man when you see one

JACKIE
  Miss Callas,I was hoping to have a friendly chat
MARIA
  How can I be friendly with someone who is destroying my life,he is the
man I love,I gave up my career for him,I wanted him to be the father of my
twins
JACKIE
 You didn't give up anything for anyone,you had no voice left, you met Ari at the
right time, had you met him when you were the queen at La Scala,you would
not have given him a second look,you used Mr.Meneghini to become la
Callas,you wanted to use Ari to stay in the limelight,the
jet set,you are an ambitious lady,vous avez la folie des grandeurs


MARIA
 You speak French now ?
JACKIE
 My French is as good as yours, I don't sing Carmen so ...
Didn't you take him away from his wife ?

MARIA
 Tina was leaving him away
JACKIE
He is leaving you anyway,nine years,the same time he spent with his wife
MARIA
 He a collector of famous women,will dump you when he meets another one, younger,more famous,you won't last nine years

JACKIE
Then wish me the best of luck, and who said I don't love him ? Who ? You ?
