May 15th, 2008 | By PlotDog | Category: Intervention, Serialized Screenplay
P.O.V. HOME VIDEO CAM AT RECEPTION — MOMENTS LATER
A wedding guest’s video cam gets keepsake video statements of
guests and approaches the family table.
MALE AT TABLE
Dick, buddy, she’s the prettiest
girl you ever talked to, you are
one lucky boy. It has to be your
money.
Laughter at the table.
DICK’S MOTHER
Jane, you take care of my boy; he
needs a special woman like you.
Now, Cindy, your turn.
SISTER CINDY
Dick, you’ll never get a better
deal. Don’t screw this up.
More laughing at the table.
INT. ANOTHER PLACE AT RECEPTION — MOMENTS LATER
Dick sits by Jane, who is talking earnestly to SENATOR
STEWART, a man as handsome and put together as Jane is. Jane
reaches to an ashtray to pick up her cigarette and spots the
video camera. She drops the cigarette. Dick lights a
cigarette and takes a slug from a cocktail.
INT. RECEPTION HALL — AFTERNOON
Dick and Jane dance, a perfectly posed wedding picture, even
while Jane eyes the room for missed guests.
DICK
I love you.
JANE
How do you think it’s going?
DICK
Married a few hours and I couldn’t
be happier. Guess we just have to
see how the wedding night goes.
Jane moves back with a hint of coldness.
JANE
I mean the party. Do you think
Senator Stewart was impressed? He
could make my entire career.
DICK
Honey, I’m already building a
massively successful company. This
is our day.
Dick pulls Jane close. She resists.
DICK (CONT’D)
Stewart seemed very confident.
I’ll talk to him when we get back.
Now, let’s start the honeymoon.
Dick nuzzles Jane.
JANE
Sweetie, tonight was my only shot
at impressing the Senator. This is
our wedding AND our future.
(pause) I thought I was more than a
sex toy to you.
Dick looks hurt and draws back.
DICK
You are not a sex toy. You’re my
wife. I thought you would want me.
JANE
I am sorry. Now that you mention
it, the limo could be fun. You
always take such good care of me.
DICK
I love you as my wife.
JANE
That makes me so happy.
Jane pulls him close and kisses him as her eyes scout the
room again over his shoulder.
