She goes inside, drops the tape and card
in her bureau. unfolding the camisole,
she holds it against her, gazes into the
mirror.  It looks beautiful.  Suddenly a
KNOCK at the door--
 
VANITY
Morris...?
 
Another two KNOCKS, something like a
confirmation.  She smiles, cuts to the
door, flings it open -- but Prince is
there. She's shocked, but recovers
instantly--
 
VANITY
I had a feeling it was you --
I knew it!  It's amazing -- I
could tell it was you.
 
His face remains placid as he puts on
his sunglasses--
 
PRINCE
How'd you get home?
 
VANITY
Took a cab.
 
PRINCE
Oh yeah?  Where'd you get
that?
 
She stares at the camisole in her hands-
-
VANITY
I adore camisoles.
 
He nods dispassionately, walks into the
room, gives the place the once over,
then--
 
PRINCE
Let's ride.
 
(56)  EXT. HIGHWAY -- DAWN
 
AERIAL SHOT
Prince and Vanity on his motorcycle
whipping down the highway.  The DAWN
LIGHT breaks over the horizon.
 
(57) EXT. ANOTHER HIGHWAY -- DAWN
 
A SERIES OF SHOTS
Streaking down a two-lane blacktop
obviously exhilarated by the velocity of
their ride.  The landscape becomes lush,
the trees a riot of autumn splendor.
 
(58) EXT. COUNTRY ROAD -- DAWN
 
ANOTHER ANGLE
as Prince and Vanity whip up to the top
of a small hill, skid to a stop.  He
scans the area quickly, gets his
bearings.  He pops the clutch, skids off
to the valley below.
 
(59) EXT. WOODS AND STREAM -- DAWN
 
PRINCE AND VANITY ride cautiously
through a series of hiking paths, then
twist down a small embankment.  A STREAM
flows before them.  They climb off the
bike, look around quietly--
 
VANITY
God, this is beautiful.  It
reminds me of where I grew up.
My father used to ...
 
He waits for an answer, it's not
forthcoming--
 
PRINCE
Your father used to what...?
 
VANITY
Nothing...it's just...
(changes subject)
You must like places like
this.
 
He goes to the stream, balances on
several rocks, moves to the other side.
The stream flows between them--
 
VANITY
So, have you reconsidered my
proposal?
 
PRINCE
What...?
 
VANITY
What we talked about last
time.
 
PRINCE
You can't be serious.
 
She starts a little dance step, climaxes
it with spins and twirls--
 
VANITY
Oh, come on -- you know you
really want to.  You've been
waiting for this opportunity
...all...your...life...
 
He can't help laughing -- she freezes,
looks at him coldly--
 
PRINCE
I'm sorry -- excuse me.
 
VANITY
God -- so why do you come
around?  You don't want to
help me, not that you have to.
You don't want to sleep with
me, not that you have to do
that either.  So why am I
here?
 
He smiles, walks off--
 
VANITY
There's a lot of things you
don't know about me.  You'd be
surprised how many things I
could do.
 
He disappears around some trees--
 
VANITY
Take me home immediately!  I
want to go home.  I can't
stand this!  I can't take this
anymore!  Prince!
 
PRINCE moves through the trees smiling,
studying nature--
 
VANITY(O.S.)
I don't need this!  I was
doing alright before I met
you.  Motherfucker, you need a
haircut!
 
He comes to a tree, leans against it
contentedly, studies the foliage.
 
VANITY paces back and forth frantically
along the stream--
 
VANITY
(to herself)
I don't get this.
(yells)
Prince! Who do you think you
are?!  You don't care.  You
don't care about anything!  I
never wanted you to help me
anyway!
 
PRINCE rests by the tree, observes TWO
HIKERS walking down the path toward him-
-
VANITY (0.S.)
You think you're a good
musician?!  You're nothing!
Morris is better.  I never
wanted to make it with you
anyway.
 
The Hikers pass him startled--
 
PRINCE
Good morning.
 
VANITY
PRINCE, I HATE YOU!
 
HIKERS
Good morning, sir.
 
And they walk down the path, disappear around the bend.
Just then--
 
VANITY is standing by his side, a
wildflower in her hands--
 
VANITY
(softly)
I'm sorry.  I shouldn't have
said those things.  Will you
forgive me?
 
PRINCE
(softly)
Yes.
 
He takes the flower, slips it into his
jacket, kisses her forehead.
