Aug 6th, 2008 | By PlotDog | Category: Intervention, Serialized Screenplay
INT. POLICE STATION INTERROGATION ROOM — NEXT MORNING
Dick and Jane sit. The morning Sun shows Jane more widely
awake and Dick looking resolute, beaten and pissed.
JANE (WHISPERS)
Did you ask for a lawyer?
Dick nods.
JANE (CONT’D)
What else did you say?
DICK
You weren’t driving.
JANE
Why?
DICK
Your job, substance abuse and
mental health, drunk driving.
JANE
Which lawyer did you call?
DICK
Carl.
JANE
Oh great, a business guy.
The door opens and Carl steps in. He looks like he knows
what he is doing.
CARL
Dick, how are you holding up?
DICK
Hanging in there.
CARL
(as a second thought)
Jane?
Jane stares at Carl like he is an idiot. A cop comes in.
COP
The Captain says separate rooms, so
one of you has to move.
CARL
I represent them both.
JANE
Oh, goody.
CARL
Shut up.
DICK
Sounds like good advice to me,
Jane.
JANE
Piss off, Dick.
DICK
Don’t start.
CARL (TO DICK)
You shut up too, Dick; this isn’t
helping my day or your company.
The door swings open. A million dollar lawyer steps in.
COP
Who’s moving?
CARL
Nobody. Now get out.
GRIFFIN DECKER/NEW LAWYER
She’s moving. I now represent her.
Everyone looks confused.
CARL
Who the hell are you? No, wait, I
don’t give a shit. Take her.
DICK
I don’t think so.
GRIFFIN DECKER
Jane, my name is Griffin Decker. A
friend sent me to help.
JANE
And Dick?
GRIFFIN DECKER
He isn’t my problem.
DICK
Don’t be stupid, we’re a couple.
GRIFFIN DECKER
Your rights are separate, you are
separate. It’s just a legal thing.
Decker looks to Carl, who nods.
CARL
You’re better off alone, Dick.
JANE
I’m with him, Dick.
Jane leans in and kisses Dick on the cheek.
JANE (WHISPERS) (CONT’D)
You were driving; we can work the
rest out later. I know Alan will
take care of it. You are my hero.
COP
Ok, you two, out.
Jane leaves with Decker without a look back.
It’s about time that Dick stood up to Jane, even for a very short time. See? Your story is so good that I’m makig all these commentaries about my feelings in each episode.

Tasha, I so love it when it happens the way readers want it to. The boy is going to grow and sadly, I think Jane is going to notice and slap him around even harder. The life of a protag isn’t easy is it?
