Intervention – Scene 5

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.
