"nymphs". Diane, who's also Sean's lover, is fed up with Sean's errant ways and has decided to sell her controlling 
interest in the magazine to one Sir Harry Matthews, a British media tycoon. If that happens, it would surely mean the 
end for Sean's lavish lifestyle. No more mansion. No more exotic animals. No more nightly parties. No more nymphs. 
Sean's got to do something. He begs Diane to change her mind. Why not sell him the stocks? Diane laughs. With what 
money? Sean spends everything he makes then some. They have an argument in Diane's office, which her assistant 
eavesdrops in on and tape records at Diane's prior request. Diane has made up her mind. She knows Sean doesn't 
love her and she's going to sell to Sir Harry.
