[ open on Narrator standing beside dinner table ]
Narrator: Bianca Jagger has just finished eating dinner in this television studio… with Three Or Four Of Her Close Personal Friends. At the table tonight: [ revealed in close-up, one at a time ] Truman Capote… Princess Grace… Margaret Trudeau… and our hostess, Bianca Jagger. Won’t you join Bianca for wine, cheese and grapes?
[ the Narrator turns his attention to the table, as the camera zooms closer ]
Truman Capote: [ cackling with glee ] You know, Bianca — Everyone knows how much you’ve changed, now that you’re a working woman. I mean, you’re just not the same Bianca.
Bianca Jagger: Of course, I’m not the same. How could I be the same? I’ve completely changed.
Truman Capote: How do you feel that you’ve changed?
Bianca Jagger: How do I feel that I’ve changed? You’re so silly. You know that I was… leading the party life before I was working. You know that for a fact. If I was invited to a party, I’d take the plane, I’d get on the plane, I go to the country, I learn the language, I go to the party! I AM the party! That is what it is.
Truman Capote: Yeah, it’s true. It’s really true. You are the party.
Bianca Jagger: That is true. But I am working now. That is the pattern of my life. I am working now, and I have learned something… that is very, very important in life. And that is that you must… be… on… time. If you are called to a place, to be there at one o’clock… you do not arrive at five o-clock. You will have kept everyone waiting for… [ thinking ] four hours. This is what I used to do if I were to arrive, because what is time? Time is nothing. What is time? Time never met… What is time? Time is nothing. But this has completely changed now.
Grace Kelly: How’s Mick?
Margaret Trudeau: Yes! How is Mick? I thought he was gonig to be here?
Bianca Jagger: How is Mick? [ a beat ] I come from Nicaragua. There is a saying amongst the very wealthy women there, which says that… “You cannot shave your legs after your pantyhose are on.” And I believe that this is true.
Truman Capote: Ah! Yes, that is true!
Grace Kelly: Of course, it’s true.
Margaret Trudeau: Oh, you’re right! Because… if you nick yourself, you can’t get a Band-aid on underneath them.
Bianca Jagger: You completely misunderstood!
Truman Capote: Bianca… you’re so beautiful. Um… you are.
Bianca Jagger: You are!
Truman Capote: Thank you! Uh — Do you think that make-up is important?
Bianca Jagger: Do I think that make-up is important? [ a beat ] I do not USE make-up, Truman, and you KNOW that I do not use make-up! What is make-up? Make-up uses ME! I make the make-up to look GOOD! You COMPLETELY misunderstand!
Margaret Trudeau: Where is Mick? I thought he was going to be here for dinner!
Truman Capote: Yes, where is Mick?
Grace Kelly: There is a saying amongst the poor owmen of Monaco: “If your husband is late for dinner… maybe he has eaten somewhere else.”
Bianca Jagger: You make me so jealous.
Truman Capote: Oh, that Mick is such a raw talent, you know? What is it like being married to a man like MICK JAGGER?
Bianca Jagger: What is it like…? I have learned… many things. Like I have learned that a woman — I… am woman, woman I am — When a woman is married to, for instance, a… Mick Jagger. And if her first name is, for instance… Bianca. Then, she — the woman — gets to call herself… Bianca Jagger.
Truman Capote: That’s such a marvelous name for this world…
Margaret Trudeau: I wish Mick would get here, he has such a sensual lower lip.
Truman Capote: God, that’s true!
Grace Kelly: He’s very popular in Monaco, I wanted to ask him to be on our stamp.
Truman Capote: God, he’s be beautiful! You know, everything is a question of attitude. You know, how you feel and how you are. I used to feel short, I looked short. Now I feel tall, and I am tall — unless I have to reach for something high on a shelf.
Bianca Jagger: This is — I cannot — I — I — I just — What are we talking about? We are talking about reaching. We are talking about NOTHING! [ she looks into the camera ] You must understand me, I’m sorry. I must be honest — These people are NOT my friends! Okay? This is NOT my dining room. I would not have MY friends SIT in a dinning room like this. This is a television show, I’m terribly sorry. I don’t particularly care for these people, I don’t particularly care for TELEVISION! I don’t particularly care for any… What is CARE?! What is it? What is I? What is what? What is WHAT?! You understand me? I mean, I cannot bear it! I cannot bear it! I really cannot.
[ as Bianca continues to ramble on, the Narrator steps back in front of the table ]
Narrator: You just had wine, cheese and grapes with Bianca Jagger… And Three Or Four Of Her Close Personal Friends.
[ pull out, with SUPER: “Coming up Next… Will Barry Manilow Outlive His Wardrobe?” ]
