《Fools First (1922)》Storyline
You know it seems strange being here like this after hearing Roy rave about you for months.Helen: Does Roy rave?Monte: Or rather, he idolizes you.Helen: Well, I do wish he wouldn""t.It makes me feel guilty.Monte: I can understand his raving now.Helen: Oh, don""t be silly.You""re not a bit like Roy, are you?Monte: I should say not.Roy""s frightfully high-minded.He doesn""t approve of me.Helen: He wouldn""t approve of me either if he knew what I""m really like.Monte: Doesn""t he know?Helen: No.When I""m with Roy, I""m the way Roy wants me to be.That""s caddish, isn""t it? But I can""t help it.Monte: I understand.Helen: Roy wouldn""t.Monte: May I ask you a very personal question?Helen: Yes.Monte: Do you love Roy?Helen: No, not really.Not the way Roy wants me to love him.I can""t.Roy""s love means marriage and children and never anyone but Roy.I couldn""t bear that.I want to be free.I want to be gay and have fun.Life""s short and I want to live while I""m alive.Monte: I know but...that""s the way I feel too.(He caresses her hair as she languishes back under his attentive gaze.) I-I think I""d better go.Helen: Must you?Monte: I really should.Helen: Pull!She stretches out her arms and he pulls her up into his arms.They are frozen, inches away from each other""s lips - and hen they kiss.She surrenders herself to him and they lower themselves back to the couch and embrace further - as the scene fades to black.There, he surreptitiously sees Gavin at a table with he lovely, elegant, and beautiful blonde Madeleine (Kim Novak) wearing a dark, nakedly-backless evening dress with green trim [green is a predominant color associated with Madeleine - and Judy - throughout he film]." (Stryker was actually building his own version of Xavier""s mutant-tracking, mind-linking computer named Cerebro 2.At Milo""s party, Jerry appears to be the only guest.He admires the would-be patron""s one-shouldered white gown in one of the film""s most famous lines:That""s, uh, quite a dress you almost have on.
