               EXT. THE YARD PARTY -- MOMENTS LATER

               Jane passes Alex and gets her attention.

                                   JANE
                         I just saw Dick, he seems pissed,
                         did something happen?

                                   ALEX
                         Not that I saw.

               Jane heads for the Senator with a mile wide smile.

               The glass in Dick's hand is sweating, as he spots Jane and
               heads toward her and the Senator.

               Alex sees Dick with storm clouds on his face and she
               follows.

               The Senator chats with Marcello and Catherine.  Jane joins
               the group.

               EXT. DRIVE -- CONTINUOUS

               Dick's hand is shaking so hard the remaining ice clinks.

               Jane sees him and moves in closer to the Senator.

               Alex spots the pending conflict and speeds up her pursuit.

               EXT. YARD -- CONTINUOUS

               Carl slinks out the door and clings to Susan.

               EXT. DRIVEWAY -- MOMENTS LATER

               Dick is a few feet away from Jane and he holds out the
               glass.

                                   DICK
                         Jane, what the hell?

                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         Dick, good to see you.  Every
                         time I see you, you're holding a
                         drink.

               Dick grabs Jane's arm and pulls her away from the group.

                                   JANE
                         Dick, you're hurting me.

               EXT. JUST AWAY FROM THE GROUP -- CONTINUOUS

               Everyone stares, as Dick drags Jane a short distance.  Jane
               cowers.  Alex moves to intervene, but Dick storms off.

                                   JANE
                         I'm fine.

               Catherine's face hardens with resolve.

                                   CATHERINE
                         Alan, you WILL support this
                         domestic violence project.

               The Senator looks to Marcello.

                                   MARCELLO
                         We will send you the legislation.
