They're Playing with Fire

The theme of Macbeth is ambition.

Murder for ambition.

Macbeth wanted to become the king.

His ruthlessly ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth,

urged him to murder is king so that she could become queen.

All right, now let's see what you

come up with on your papers.

Glenn?

Dr. Stevens, you want us to write about what happened

after everybody got bumped off?

Yes, and please use the correct word, murder.

What's the difference?

Dead is dead.

Yeah, you ought to know.

All right, that's enough now.

Everyone have a nice weekend, and I'll

see you all next Tuesday.

I'd like to speak to you, please.

Me?

No, Jay.

Are you still looking for work?

Oh, yeah.

Come and see me in my office.

Jay.

Jay, hi.

Everybody's coming over to my house

tonight to study for the finals.

You want to come?

I can't make it.

Why not?

Something came up.

Oh.

Hey, Cynthia.

Do you want to go out with me?

Get lost, Bird.

Bitch.

Hey, Jay, wait up. Can I borrow your key?

I lost mine again.

Yeah, I need It back.

Thanks to admissions for finding me a roomie like you.

Three keys in three months?

Look, I've got a date, OK?

All right?

Really?

Yeah, can I borrow a 10?

A date with who?

Cynthia.

Only in your fantasies, Bird.

Good luck. Hey, four is all I got.

Four, thanks.

What time are you coming home?

I don't know, Ma.

Oh, you've been a bad boy?

Got to stay after school with teacher?

- Hey, she just-- - Yeah.

-needs me to do some work for her.

- Oh, yeah right. - You guys are imagining things.

Have a little, class.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

A little piece of class.

Hey, knock it off.

See you later, guys!

Hey, I bet he's going to work real hard.

Jealous, you're jealous.

Come on, can we get the hell out of here?

- You ready? - Yeah, come on.

Hey, wait for me. I never have a girl.

Come on, why don't I ever have a girl?

Jay?

Why are you running away from me?

I'm not running away from you, Cynthia.

Look, I never made any commitment to you.

You date whoever you want to date,

and I'll date whoever I want to.

Let's just be friends, OK?

You're playing with fire, Jay.

I can't remember a hotter day.

Me, either.

You look as though you could use a break.

Want to have an ice-cold drink with me?

No, I'd better keep working and finish.

Well, you've been working hard all day.

I'd feel guilty if you don't let me give you a drink.

OK, Mrs. Stevens.

Call me Diane here.

Well, come on.

You'll have to come and get it.

What will it be, tiger?

Pop, wine, or champagne?

Beer would be great, if you have it.

You think you'll have time to do the inside today?

Uh, I don't think so.

Maybe some other time.

Well, maybe you could do the one cabin only.

I can't be late for the gas station.

One cabin shouldn't take you long.

Come on, I'll show you.

See?

It won't take you long to varnish in here.

Um, well, to do a good job I need at least half a day,

a day.

Well, come on in.

I'm not going to rape you.

Oh, no, Mr. Stevens, I wasn't thinking that!

These two chairs need vanishing, too.

How about them?

Yeah, yeah, I guess I have enough time to do these today.

All right, come on.

Let's get them up on deck.

Why are you so afraid of me?

I'm not.

You don't like me, do you?

Oh, no, I like you a lot.

Prove it.

How?

Kiss me.

What was that?

Here.

Come on.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Stevens.

I didn't mean to--

I know.

I know.

Oh, God, I--

I really gotta go.

Don't talk.

You'll spoil it.

Mrs. Stevens.

Mrs. Stevens.

No one will ever know.

I really shouldn't do this.

Shh.

What if Michael finds out?

How's he going to find out?

I'm not going to tell him.

I can't believe this is happening.

I like you so much.

Shh.

Have you ever done this before?

I mean, with a student?

No.

Well, how come with me?

Mmm.

Because I like you.

Is that the only reason?

No.

Because I can trust you.

How come?

Oh, I've watched you long enough to know.

When are you getting your car back?

I don't have the money to get it fixed,

and the guy who hit me didn't have any insurance.

I asked my boss for a loan.

He says he'll think about it.

How much do you need?

Oh, about 300.

I'll loan it to you.

Oh, hey, I wasn't fishing.

I know, I know.

But I'll be glad to help you.

Great!

Hey, listen, I won't be able to pay you back for a while.

It's an indefinite loan.

What's the catch, Diane?

I want you to do me a favor.

So what did he say?

I don't think you should use him.

Why not?

He wanted to make love to me.

Son of a bitch.

Can't blame him for trying.

I think we'd better find somebody else.

You know it's not that easy.

We've got to be careful who we get involved with here.

I think we can trust him.

Really?

I think we should wait.

Michael, I want control of that money now.

I'm going to inherit everything anyway.

When?

Look, I want that money as much as you,

but we've got to be patient.

For 10 years your mother and grandmother

have been promising us that if we would cater to all

of their selfish and senile demands, then

you will inherit the money.

Meanwhile, nothing.

Not a penny.

Only the use of this house, and now

they want us out of here, too.

If anything goes wrong, if they find out what we're up to,

we'll lose it all.

Michael, it's now or never.

Remember when I was your student and you

made love to me on the yacht?

You promised to take me all over the world if I married you.

They were just dreams, we never went anywhere.

Your mother saw to that.

I had to be available in case they needed us.

Michael, I want us to have fun while I'm still young.
