INT. DICK AND JANE'S BED ROOM -- NIGHT

               Dick and Jane move about the room in a routine.  Dick is
               drunk and Jane carries a big tumbler of dark liquid.

               Dick frowns, walks to Jane, takes her drink and tests it.

                                   DICK
                         It's coke.  You going to tell
                         them?

                                   JANE
                         Tell them what?

               Dick points to the trash can.

                                   DICK
                         When were you going to tell me?

                                   JANE
                         When were you going to tell me
                         you knew?

                                   DICK
                         My fault "again"?

                                   JANE
                         Then be a man and be direct.

               Dick straightens, then slumps and steals a sip of Coke.

                                   DICK
                         Fine, I don't want to be a single
                         parent while you chase your
                         career.

                                   JANE
                         I have a call to make.

               Jane picks up her cell and heads into the hall.

               INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY -- MOMENTS LATER

               Jane dials the number and the phone rings.

                                   JANE'S MOTHER
                         Yes, Jane.

                                   JANE
                         Mother, how are you?

                                   JANE'S MOTHER
                         As well as can be expected.

                                   JANE
                         How long until the trial?

                                   JANE'S MOTHER
                         Six months.

               Jane paces, waiting to get to her news.

                                   JANE'S MOTHER (CONT'D)
                         They denied bail and froze his
                         assets.  I have to find another
                         solution soon.

                                   JANE
                         When are you going to file?

                                   JANE'S MOTHER
                         I'm sure I have no idea what you
                         are talking about.

               Jane's voice remains calm even as her pacing speeds up.

                                   JANE
                         I imagine he will get divorce
                         papers days after conviction.

                                   JANE'S MOTHER
                         How are things for you?

                                   JANE
                         You...are going to be a
                         grandmother.

                                   JANE'S MOTHER
                         Who's is it?

                                   JANE
                         It is your grandchild.

                                   JANE'S MOTHER
                         Don't let it call me grandmother.

                                   JANE
                         Love you, Mother.

               The line goes dead and Jane heads for the bedroom.

               Dick sits on the bed.  The phone shakes in Jane's hand.

                                   DICK
                         Your mother?

                                   JANE
                         She won't change.

                                   DICK
                         Who does?

                                   JANE
                         We can work it out.

               Jane undresses and slides into bed.  She pats the bed

                                   JANE (CONT'D)
                         Come to bed; we will deal with
                         this after you have had less to
                         drink.

               He lies down and he slides to her to snuggle.

                                   JANE (CONT'D)

                         I don't think I can do sex until
                         after the baby.  Can you take
                         care of it yourself in the
                         bathroom?  It all makes me want
                         to be sick.

               Dick rolls over and sighs.
