In this scene businessman Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) has just negotiated a fee of three thousand dollars for a full week of prostitute Vivian Ward’s time (Julia Roberts). Vivian thinks she has outnegotiated Edward and says line one but Edward replies with line two. Edward has traveled to Hollywood, California to conclude a business deal and, after a chance meeting while asking directions, wants to hire Vivian to accompany him to some social functions. The interaction of Vivian’s street-savy mannerisms with Edward’s rarified level of society leads to some pretty funny situations. In the 1991 Academy Awards, Julia Roberts was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role but lost the Oscar to Kathy Bates in “Misery.” This was Ralph Bellamy’s final movie (he played businessman James Morse, who owned the shipyard that Edward was planning to purchase).
