INT. MAGISTRATES COURT
- PUBLIC AREA - DAY 1
A distraught 35 year old WOMAN is sat with her head
in her hands, sobbing her heart out. GULLIVER is
on a seat beside her, arm around her shoulders,
comforting her. |
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR |
|
| |
There, there. It's OK. You let it
all out. |
|
| |
|
|
GULLIVER crosses the
public area to a vending machine and fishes through
his pockets for change.
He sees DUNBAR with the distraught WOMAN.
DUNBAR gently prizes his arm away from the WOMAN
and crosses to GULLIVER at the vending machine.
|
| |
|
|
| |
GULLIVER |
|
| |
Is she OK? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR |
|
| |
Husband's just been sentenced. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
GULLIVER
|
|
| |
Oh. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR |
|
| |
Two years. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
GULLIVER
|
|
| |
She's taking it badly, then? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR |
|
| |
Been crying for... (checks
his watch)
Fifty three minutes.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
GULLIVER |
|
| |
Anything I can do? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR |
|
| |
No, I think I've got it under control.
|
|
| |
|
|
| DUNBAR takes the drink
GULLIVER has paid for. |
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR
(CONT) |
|
| |
Eight more minutes and I can bill
her for two hours. |
|
| |
|
|
| DUNBAR crosses back to
the WOMAN, who has now stopped crying and seems
to be pulling herself together. |
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR
(CONT) |
|
| |
Of course the first night's always
the toughest, after that it's just waiting... and
waiting. |
|
| |
|
|
| The WOMAN starts sobbing
again. DUNBAR rests his arm around her shoulders
and consoles her. |
| |
|
|
| |
DUNBAR
(CONT) |
|
| |
There, there... |
|
| |
|
|
| DUNBAR gives GULLIVER
a thumbs up at the vending machine. |
| |
