"It's nice to see you too." "Can't even do your own dirty work." "Dirty work?" "Why did you send in your boys?" "Tokeep an eye on you." "To st you from coming to any harm." "Do you expect me to believe that?" "It's the truth." "I he I haven't spoiled everything." "Were you trying to escape?" "Maybe..." "I could help." "No, thank you." "Mrs. Trevethan!" "Grace!" "Those fingers through my hair" "That sly come hither stare..." "That strips my conscience bare" "It's witchcraft" "And I've got no defense for it" "The heat is too intense for it" "What good would common sense for it do?" "'Cause it's witchcraft" "Witchcraft" "I like it here." "And although I know" "It's strictly taboo..." "Is this the face of a master criminal?" "Tonight we investigate the mystery behind Grace Trevethan." "How did an unknown widow facing bankruptcy save her house and become the most celebrated and controversial novelist of the year?" "Mrs. Trevethan's novel." "The Joint Venture, has tped the best seller list for over a year now." "But although the book is sold as fiction." "the story bears a remarkable similarity to Trevethan's own life." "And her recent marriage to a mysterious french businessman has fueled tabloid speculation that she was at one time actually involved with the drug trade." "So, what is the true story?" "We went to the sleepy village of Port Llac to find out." "Turn it up, Charlle." "Turn it up." "Wasn't there an incident up at Llac house?" "The police were called to the house but there was a problem with witnesses." "No one wanted to talk?" "Nobody could remember anything." "Excuse me." "We think it's fiction." "don't we, dear?" "Yes." "Because in the book," "Grace was growing drugs." "but in real life, she was growing tea!" "Well. as a doctor, uh. a man of science..." "Obviously I could never condone the use of a drug for nontherapeutic, um... thingy." "Psst, psst, psst." "Have you got anything?" "See me later." "Okay." "It's good." "I s it?" "Oh. yeah!" "Oh." "I must say, it does seem strange that alcohol is legal and marijuana..." "U h. isn't." "An accident of history, I suppose." "So you didn't have any marijuana growing in your garden?" "Bless you." "So do you think The Joint Venture is fiction or fact?" "No, it's all fiction." "My wife has a very fertile imagination. thank God." "But what about the gangster character, Pedro?" "I s that based on you?" "Pedro is Spanish." "I'm French." "Don't be absurd." "No, but we've heard It's time for you to go." "Get off my land." "I said!" "This my house!" "Yet Mrs. Trevethan refused to be interviewed for this program and to date has made no public statement about the rumors." "Tonight may change that as we take you live, to the New York Book Awards." "where Grace Trevethan has been shortlisted for The Joint Venture." "And the winner of the award for fiction goes to..." "Grace Trevethan for The Joint Venture!" "What a surprise!" "Shh!" "Shh!" "You'd think I'd be used to surprises after everything that's happened to me." "Iknow there's been a lot of speculation about whether my book is based on fact or fiction." "but... well... to tell you the truth." "if I told you everything that's happened to me over the past couple of years." "you wouldn't believe me anyway." "I can hardly believe it myself." "Oh..." "Oh." "I he they're watching this at home, because..." "I wanted to say..." "Matthew..." "I wanted to tell you that I think you are a terrible gardener... but that you've helped me to grow, and for that..." "I thank you from the bottom of my heart." "I he you're all having a wonderful party..." "Oh. and I've had another idea." "and I think there might be a book in it." "Thank you." "Sometimes there's no explanation" "Only what you feel" "And I knew you'd always be here" "Watching over me" "You're no accidental angel" "Falling down on me" "Now the picture is completed" "And two's becoming three" "Oh oh" "It's meant to be" "This is no accident, you see" "You're turning my world upside down" "My head is spinning with the clouds" "I'd gladly give you all of me" "'Cause some things can't wait for eternity" "No longer playing with daydreams" "No longer waiting for maybes" "And now I know you would save me" "Oh oh oh oh" "Oh oh" "It's meant to be" "This is no accident, you see" "You're no accidental angel" "Falllng down on me" "Now the picture is completed" "And two's becoming three" "Sometimes there's no explanation" "Only what you feel" "And Iknew you'd always be here" "Watching over me" "There's no point in hesitating" "When you have something so real" "So just run with your emotions" "Before they disappear" "You're no accidental angel" "Falllng down on me" "Now the picture is completed" "And two's becoming three" "Oh. yeah" "It's meant to be" "This is no accident to me" "Oh. yeah" "It's meant to be" "It's no coincidence to me" "You're no accidental angel" "Falllng down on me" "Now the picture is completed" "And two's becoming three" "Sometimes there's no explanation" "Only what you feel" "And I knew you'd always be here" "Watching over me" "There's no point in hesitating" "When you have something so real" "You just run with your emotions" "Before they disappear" "You're no accidental angel" "Falllng down on me" "Now the picture is completed" "And two's becoming three"
