She looks furious.<br />
RYAN (CONT’D)<br />
He took you back to his place and<br />
fucked you so roughly that--<br />
COLLETTE<br />
(on her feet, pushing<br />
the table back)<br />
For Christ’s sake...<br />
RYAN<br />
(on his feet also)<br />
You went home, took the children<br />
into your bed and cried until it<br />
was time to go.<br />
COLLETTE<br />
Leave me alone! (She<br />
sits again). Jesus...<br />
RYAN<br />
It’ll break their hearts.<br />
COLLETTE<br />
I want a lawyer.<br />
He takes a video tape from the briefcase, slaps it into the<br />
machine, bangs it shut and presses play. We see a grainy<br />
undercover shot of COLLETTE and her little boy walking home<br />
from school. She PULLS him closer and wraps an arm around<br />
his shoulder.<br />
Despite herself, COLLETTE’S eyes are DRAWN TO THE SCREEN.<br />
There’s an edit point and now we see her with CATHERINE on<br />
her lap in the garden.<br />
Another edit and she is kneeling on the ground by the back<br />
gate with MARK. The audio has been boosted.<br />
How long?<br />
MARK<br />
COLLETTE<br />
Just for a few days, then--<br />
MARK<br />
That’s what Dad said and he’s<br />
never coming--<br />
COLLETTE smashes the VHS recorder from the desk. She slams<br />
the chair into the wall and sinks back into the corner.<br />
RYAN comes around to her, squats down.<br />
RYAN<br />
It doesn’t have to be like this.
