BILL:

Could be. What's your name again?

She kisses him.

ALICE:

Can we go home now?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BILL AND ALICE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

ALICE stands naked in front of her dressing table mirror rubbing face

cream. BILL comes up behind her, kisses her shoulder and runs his

hands lightly over her breasts.

V.O.

That night they were more blissful in

their ardent love than they had been

for a long time.

SHOTS TO ILLUSTRATE V.O.

Getting up.

Alice and Helena in the kitchen.

Bill in his office with patients.

V.O.

The gray of morning awakened them

only too soon.

Alice had to take Helena to school.

And Bill had a number of early

appointments.

So the evening hours passed in the

predetermined daily routine of work,

and the events of the night before

began to fade.

BILL'S APARTMENT - HELENA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

HELENA reading aloud to BILL and ALICE from "A Child's Garden of

Verses". She finishes her poem and yawns.

BILL:

And now, my darling, time for bed.

What do you say?

HELENA smiles and puts her arms around BILL.

BILL and ALICE kiss her goodnight, turn out the lights and go into the

living room.

LIVING ROOM:

ALICE sighs comfortably.

ALICE:

So, how do you feel about wrapping

some presents?

BILL:

Kind of negative. We can do it

tomorrow.

Bill drops down on the couch, picks up the TV controller and starts

switching channels.

Alice snuggles up to him.

ALICE:

Anything good on tonight?

BILL:

Have you got the paper?

Alice puts her arms around him.

ALICE:

I don't feel like watching TV.

They kiss.

ALICE:

Let's break the law a little first

BATHROOM - A FEW MOMENTS LATER

Bill takes a Band-Aid box from the bathroom medicine cabinet and

removes a small plastic bag of pot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEDROOM:

Alice skillfully rolls two joints.

MINUTES LATER:

Bill and Alice sitting in bed, partly undressed and smoking the joints.

Alice inhales and leans back with an ashtray in her lap.

She is high.

ALICE:

How about the truth game?
