CAROLINE (CONT'D)
I thought it was you, but I can’t
trust my eyes these days, they’re
not what they used to be.
Off his blank expression.
CAROLINE (CONT'D)
Caroline. Caroline Williams.
Remember, you spent a summer
holiday at our villa in St Tropez.
This is my second husband, the Earl
of Dundalk.
BUSTER, an Ex-Military officer in his sixties, stout, flushed cheeks and a touch of gout, he crushes Conrad’s hand as he
shakes it.
BUSTER
How do you do? Call me Buster.
CAROLINE
Can we offer you a lift to the
wake?
CONRAD
I wasn’t actually planning on
going... GORGEOUS
INT. LIMOUSINE - DAY
CONRAD sits between the old couple as the Daimler glides
along the Old Brompton Road.
CAROLINE
We were at the same agency.
Neville, the owner, called her his
‘flower’. They all adored her,
Bailey, Duffy, Donovan.
BUSTER
Damned attractive woman.
Pan along their shoes. She wears Gucci heels, Buster wears
Lobb brogues, Conrad’s knackered old trainers painted black,
with a thick brush.
EXT. CHEYNE WALK MANSION. CHELSEA - DAY
Limousines parked outside a grand 18th century mansion.
DRIVERS smoke, check messages, small talk.
