Karen Sees Ray At Sonny's Club

Thank you MBC for contributing the pics and transcripts!

   

Background: Sonny and Karen have just had dinner. They began talking about her strip show the other night. He said he would prove how "magical" she is

(Karen is sitting on the couch, her wine in her hand. Sonny is standing, looking down at her, a tape in his hands)
S: "Okay uh… you're comfortable?"
K: "Yes. What's going on?"
S: "You didn't believe me when I told you how magical you are. I… I can see it in your face." (Pops the tape in)
K: "What?"
S: "Doubt. Let me show you what I'm talking about."
(The video begins to play. Karen stares at it in disbelief)
K: "You taped me?"
S: (sits next to her) "We tape everything. You know, it's okay."
K: "Oh my God, I can't watch this. Please turn it off."
S: "Not a chance. Just, watch for a minute. Anybody can see that you're enjoying yourself. You're a natural Carrie."
K: (smiling) "I guess it's not too bad."
S: "Don't underestimate yourself. I've seen a lot of exotic dancers and very few have what you have. That kind of free spirit you know what I'm talking about?"
K: "I have to admit I guess I didn't make a total fool outta myself."
S: "Stop putting yourself down." (Stands up and turns off the tape. The surveillance cameras are now set to a particular part of the club. An empty chair at the bar) "When you're really good at something, you have to make the most of it."
(The TV shows a man, Ray, [the guy who molested Karen] sit on the empty chair at the bar. Karen's looking at the TV)
K: "Oh my God." (Sets her drink on the table and stands up) "I have to get outta here."
S: "What? What?" (Walks up to her and places his hands on her shoulders) "Wait a minute. What is it?"
K: "I have to get away from him. Please." (She looks at him)
S: "What, what, what? Tell me."
K: "Please!"

Scene 2

(I guess the last scene was on the end of a show because they replayed the whole thing of her watching the tape again, but you can tell that they did it from another angle and stuff. So anyway, she's still looking at the tape, not at Sonny. He notices and turns to look at the tape. He sees Ray and turns back to her.)
S: "Wait, wait, wait. Who is he? Who is he?"
K: (shaking her head and trying to get out of the apartment) "Please."
S: (frames her face with his hands [You know the way! :-)) "What did he do to you?"

Scene 3

(Karen walks over to the dining table and holds onto a chair)

S: "Talk to me Carrie."
K: "No, I have to get out of here." (She tries to run out of the apartment. Sonny stops her again)
S: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not letting you go anywhere like this." (He wants to stop her, but doesn't want to touch her or scare her)
K: (in tears) "Please don't do this. Please."
S: "Tell me. I'm here to help you."
K: "No! No one can help me."
S: "Tell me what you're afraid of."
K: "Just leave me alone okay?"
S: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Shh. Don't ask me to do that because I can't. I'm here for you, I won't hurt you, you can trust me."
K: "NO!"
S: "Tell me what's wrong."
K: "I'm not who you think I am, OK? I've done something terrible. Please…"
S: (interrupting her) "Whoa." (pointing behind him) "Does that man have something to do with it?" (Karen just looks at him) "Is he somebody you work with? Or…"
K: "No, please don't make me say it. I hate him. Please."
S: "Is he…?" (she mumbles something) "Whoa, whoa." (framing her face) "Is he your father? Your mother's boyfriend?" (Karen stares at him, he then knows that he's right. She goes to walk out… yet again… but he stops her. He frames her face) "Wait, wait."
K: (helplessly) "No, please."
S: (he takes her in his arms) "Oh. Come… come… come… come here. Sonny's here. Come on. You can tell me. Come on. You can tell me anything."
K: (crying on his shoulder) "No. I hate him. I hate him."
S: "What did he do to make you so afraid?"
K: "He's not my father. I just… I hate him, I hate him."
S: (holding her close) "Shh."
