INT. DICK AND JANE’S HOUSE – STAIRS — MOMENTS LATER

Jane runs upstairs, with the phone in hand.

OPERATOR

Please state the nature of your emergency.

JANE
Stop hurting us.

INT. ALEX’S CAR — MOMENTS LATER

She is talking to the lead counselor on the phone.

ALEX
I need to talk to you about Jane.
You’re the one who made me her
sponsor and I think that makes
this your problem too. I just
need you to know, sort of
covering my ass; I don’t trust
that bitch as far as I can throw
her. I might need your help
later. After all, what good is a
sponsor, if she won’t help a girl
hide the body?

INT. DICK AND JANE’S BED ROOM — LATER

Dick plays with Sara but keeping a wary eye on Jane.

INT. SARA’S BEDROOM DOOR HALLWAY DICK AND JANE’S — LATER

Dick closes the door softly enough to keep a baby asleep
and whispers to the closed door.

DICK
Love you Saratoes. No matter
what.

Carl wanders over to Dick who is at the grill. Dick looks
over at Jane and gets her attention. He looks at his watch
and pretends to hold a fork and eat. Jane shakes her head
no and looks at the parking lot again.

Dick takes a burger to Susan, who openly flirts.

Jane moves past Carl with a sneer.

JANE
Guess Dick will take care of
Susan.

EXT. DICK AND JANE’S BACK YARD — AFTERNOON

Jane walks over to Susan and, with her eyes on the
driveway, Jane sits for a moment.

JANE
Sue, you are putting those back
pretty fast and the Abbots are
pretty new to recovery; are you
ok?

EXT. DICK AND JANE’S BACK YARD — AFTERNOON

The party looks like the minions of Martha Stewart have
swarmed over the place. An afternoon’s BBQ has been
converted into career enhancement for Jane.

Carl loiters around the big silver gas Weber, watching the
women and the level of scotch in his tumbler.

INT. BABY BARE STRIP JOINT — AFTERNOON

Carl leers about the room, his beer is half full and Dick’s
still has a full head of foam.

Dick nervously spins the glass on the table and refuses the
normal course of business in the Bar. The girls buzz
around the tables. Dick is showing a picture of Sara to
Carl like it is the first time.

INT. TREATMENT FACILITY JANE’S NEW OFFICE — DAY

Jane sits at her beautiful wooden desk, as Alex is escorted
in. Jane casually reads a file, forcing Alex to wait.
Alex seethes. Alex moves some signs off the chair. She
turns them over and they read “NO SMOKING”.

JANE
Federal witness protection
program. That’s something
different.

               INT. "BABY BARE" STRIP BAR — AFTERNOON

               Dick and Carl walk in.  A neon light, "BABY BARE" glows over
               a worn but cared for bar.  This is not a gentleman’s club.
               Neon lights, smoke, bottles of beer and breasts abound.
