MR. BAD GUY (ENGLISH VERSION)

SWEET LADY

After his well deserved holidays, Enzo came back to movie business. He was going through a very sweet period in his life but also tricky. His career was a string of good choices which have brought him good critics and a lot of blockbusters. With the invaluable help from a group of friends, he had tied down several hits and he was known as the most profitable actor in show business.

Having reach this point, the mountain of scripts which he must read on holidays and he sure did, as a real professional, was a hard task. Not just reading them but having the good choice. He was very confused. There were projects with directors who admired, nevertheless he didn't like its scripts. He knew that Pauline read everything that came to her, through her agent, Joanna Cowell and Duncan read them also with him. He always needed both opinions to choose one film. He found himself more and more insecure. They were his only two anchors as well as his family to whom he hold onto in moments of special inner storm and this was one of that periods.

On the other hand whenever he was in London, he used to attend all his favourite gay clubs, fancy restaurants, going to ballet, opera (most of all whenever his beloved Sabina Argento sang), and besides he went to supervise the works in his eduardian manor house.

There was no doubt, if Enzo wouldn't be an actor he would be an excellent interior designer. According to knowledgeable professionals, he had an exquisite taste and a lot of good ideas about what would become his future home. The manor house kept its restauration plenty late owing to Enzo who spent most of the year living abroad. When he came back just a few days to London he met up with the decorators, arquitects, and drove them crazy with his ideas and then they trusted him enough to saying to him they weren't feasible. Enzo didn't take it badly, he had a lot of plans B and more ideas than time to fullfill them. Nevertheless, when he attended to the works with Pauline, he saw proudly that the upper side of the house, where it would be build his suite, was almost finished. He carried on always big drawings made for him rolled up under his arm and he translated with his sketches what he wanted them doing it.

Pauline, who was again 4 months pregnant kept with her work in spite of Enzo's scoldings, and he started to being annoying.

- You should stop. Delegate it a little to Martin, I like him.

- Do you really like him?

- Oh come on, darling. He's gay, isn't it? Tell me he is.

- Yes, but he's like you. He's always flirting and when he has a partner he use to have bad luck.

- It doesn't matter, I didn't mean that. He's good, I trust him and you can relax the rest of your pregnancy and eat for two.

- Sometimes you are very traditional. I'm not going to eat for two or stop working. I'm fine, the baby is fine. Don't talk about this.

- I just worry about you, love.

- And I appreciate it but you got to give me an answer and give it to Erich Büchner.

- I don't know -sighed Enzo sitting on a beautiful bench near the pond-. I know you three have loved the script and that is so unusual.

- That's true. You could be the new Flash Gordon. That red tight catsuit tighting your little waist would suit you well.

- I know. But there's something in the script which doesn't like me. I wouldn't feel comfortable.

- I think you should give a try being a super hero.

- No, I don't see it that clear. The other script I liked was The age of innocence. You didn't like it at all but I was captivated.

- Erich Büchner is the only director who wants you without giving an audition. That character can help you.
