INT. DICK AND JANE’S PARTY — LATER

The crowd mixes and mingles. Cokes at one table, alcohol
at another. A rich patron has a burning cigarette. There
are no ashtrays, he puts the butt out in his glass. Jane
graciously takes the glass and brings him another.

INT. TREATMENT FACILITY MAIN ROOM — AFTERNOON

The patients mill about the main room in various states of
mental focus. The room feels dangerous.

Jane speaks, the lead counselor watches. Alex scowls from
the back of the room. Patients look to Alex for clues.

INT. MAIN TREATMENT AREA — MOMENTS LATER

               Jane and the Lead walk to the main treatment area.  A woman
               sits in the corner.  As Jane approaches, the woman’s head
               turns.  It is Alex the server girl.

               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.  

                                   DANCING GIRL

               INT. DICK AND JANE BEDROOM AT HOME — THAT SAME NIGHT

               Jane leads Dick into the bedroom, she’s wearing the same
               clothes she was wearing with the Senator.  She begins to
               undress.

                                   JANE
                         Talk to me while I shower.

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…

ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY JOHNSON shakes hands with Decker.

GRIFFIN DECKER
Tim, nice to see you again.

ADA JOHNSON
Wheels are turning, as we speak.

INT. SECOND INTERROGATION ROOM — MOMENTS LATER

               Jane sits with Decker across the table.

                                   JANE
                         Alan sent you?

                                   GRIFFIN DECKER
                         The wheels are rolling in the
                         prosecutor’s office, as we speak.

 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.

              INT. CAR IN USED CAR LOT — MOMENTS LATER

                                   DICK
                         Stop the car.  Trade me places.

Jane Jordan finished locking down the convertible top of the candy apple red, 1957, classic Corvette and fit her lithe, aerobically perfect, body into the pristine leather seats of the car’s cockpit as she struggled to avoid thinking about her husband Dick. She cranked Van Halen rock and roll at old school volumes and scanned the road for cops and then for drivers she might be able to push into their own road rage.

                INT. CAR — RACING THROUGH DOWN TOWN — MOMENTS LATER

                                   JANE
                         Buckle up.

               Dick fearfully fumbles with his seat belt.

               EXT. — CAR RACING DOWN THE STREET — MOMENTS LATER

 INT. NEW BLACK BMW — NIGHT

               Jane’s head lulls back and she closes her eyes.  Dick
               tentatively reaches for the keys.  Closer…closer until his
               crushed fingers touch the key.  Jane snaps awake.

 
               EXT. AT PARTY — EVENING
               Dick and Jane exit the car.  Jane smiles and leads Dick to
               SENATOR ALAN STEWART.  He is as attractive as Jane and
               obviously very powerful.  He holds court by a pool.
                                   SENATOR STEWART
                         Jane, so glad you could make it.  I
                         hope it wasn’t an inconvenience.
                         Not much [...]

 INT. NEW BLACK BMW — EVENING
               Dick stares out the window of the BMW.  Dick and Jane are
               dressed in their party best.  Jane is driving aggressively.
                                   JANE
                         It’s not just for me, Dick you can
                         find new clients for your company
                         and I can connect more firmly with
                         Senator Stewart.  We can get you
                         [...]
