INT. SENATOR’S HOME OFFICE — DAY

               The office exudes power.  The Senator reclines with a scotch.
               He hands one to Jane.  She moves close.

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         When does treatment start?

                                   JANE
                         Next week.  Alan, I wanted to
                         say…

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         You’re angry.  It really is the
                         best solution, Jane.  You have to
                         be in control, but that doesn’t
                         mean you can’t have fun; you just
                         have to have your hand on it.

               She picks up the drink and takes a tentative sip.

                                   SENATOR STEWART (CONT’D)
                         Hair of the dog.

               She takes a stronger sip, then finishes it.  The Senator
               hands her a cigarette.  Jane can’t resist.  He strikes a
               wooden match and lights it.

                                   JANE
                         I wanted to say, thank you.  Well,
                         if there is anything I can do to
                         repay you.

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         Be more careful at my parties.  Oh,
                         and don’t front to me.

               Jane looks confused.

                                   SENATOR STEWART (CONT’D)
                         Don’t lie to me about being
                         rescued.  I put you in treatment
                         and it could have been jail.

                                   JANE
                         Why treatment?  Why not just make
                         it go away?  Why not rescue my
                         husband?

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         You need to trust me; I bought me
                         cover, and I don’t like Dick.

                                   JANE
                         Cover, for who?

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         You, me, everyone.  It’s in your
                         long term interest.

                                   JANE
                         But, I am not an alcoholic.

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         I don’t care.  You did something
                         stupid and generated possible media
                         attention.  Shut up and do the
                         twenty eight days.

                                   JANE
                         I didn’t think it…

               He looks firmly at Jane.  He hands her a drink.

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         Don’t think, just do.

               Jane surrenders.

                                   SENATOR STEWART (CONT’D)
                         I’m protecting US.  And if you want
                         Us, you can’t question my judgment.

               The Senator puts Jane’s drink on the desk, takes her
               cigarette and drops it in the glass.  He kisses her and her
               clothes are coming off in both of their hands.  He steps back
               when she is down to her underwear.

                                   SENATOR STEWART (CONT’D)
                         I like to watch this part.

                                   JANE
                         I like to be watched.

               She removes her bra and panties slowly.

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         Now, undress me.

               Jane starts with his tie, tugging.

                                   SENATOR STEWART (CONT’D)
                         No wrinkles.  Fold everything.

               Jane pauses.

                                   SENATOR STEWART (CONT’D)
                         Do it now or go.

               Jane steps up and he kisses her again and runs his hands over
               her body, as she warms back to the task.  Reverently, Jane
               undresses him putting his clothes in a careful pile.

               He moves her to his desk and begins to press against her, but
               she freezes for a minute and reaches for her purse.  She
               takes out a condom, smiles at the Senator and takes out two.

                                   SENATOR STEWART (CONT’D)
                         I don’t like those.

                                   JANE
                         I don’t take birth control and this
                         is … a bad time.

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         I don’t like no.  Those scream
                         "no".

               The Senator moves in and takes the condoms from Jane’s hand
               and throws them on the floor.  Jane crawls up his body, as
               they kiss.  The Senator puts his hands on her shoulders and
               turns her around and presses her chest onto his desk.
