Season #1 Episode #1 - 'Sassenach'

---

FRANK:

Not without its charms, certainly.

CLAIRE:

Beats an army cot and a tent in the

mud.

(CONTINUED)

9.

CONTINUED:

Frank drops the luggage, sits on the bed -- it gives out a

loud SQUEAK.

FRANK:

So much for marital privacy.

Claire smiles from across the room as he bounces a little and

the bed gives out progressively louder and more emphatic

SQUEAKS.

CLAIRE:

You think the sound carries?

FRANK:

(stops)

I think it’s safe to say Mrs. Baird

will be kept apprised of any

renewed attempts to start a family.

Claire plops herself down beside him.

CLAIRE:

Lazybones. You’ll never manage the

next branch on your family tree

unless you show a bit more industry

than that.

Claire begins energetically bouncing up and down. Frank

grins and in a flash the two of them are in danger of

breaking the rickety bed as it groans and shrieks.

INT. FOYER - DUSK

Mrs. Baird pauses in her work at the sounds coming down

through the ceiling overhead. She raises an eyebrow and goes

back to work.

INT. CLAIRE & FRANK’S ROOM - DAY

They’re laughing and bouncing on the bed -- they stop after a

moment and Claire regards him tenderly.

CLAIRE:

You know, one of those things I

used to try and remember lying in

my cot in the mud: “What’s the

sound of my husband’s laugh?” I

couldn’t conjure it no matter what

I did; I couldn’t hear it even

though I’d heard it a million times

before. Strangest thing.

Frank takes her hand, opens the palm.

(CONTINUED)

10.

CONTINUED:

FRANK:

I used to sketch this.

CLAIRE:

My hand?

FRANK:

The lines. Why exactly, I’m not

sure, but I had a very clear memory

of this pattern. Made little

doodles everywhere. A brigadier

once dressed me down because I’d

somehow managed to draw them in the

margin of a report for the

Minister.

Frank chuckles, then brings her hand to his lips, and in a

moment they’re kissing.

CLAIRE:

Now that we know the bed will stand

the strain...

He gasps as her hand is suddenly inside his trousers. He

fumbles with her blouse, but Claire has taken charge here and

she has him (literally) in the palm of her hand.

CLAIRE (cont’d)

Let’s dispense with the

preliminaries.

She hikes up her skirt and climbs on top of him. Frank gasps

as he enters her. Claire has her blouse and bra off in a

flash and she guides his hands to her breasts.

CLAIRE (cont’d)

Wait -- wait --now.

He PINCHES them hard and now it’s her turn to gasp. She

begins rocking back and forth with increasing speed and

urgency.

INT. FOYER - DAY

Mrs. Baird is cleaning some glasses when the sound from

upstairs resumes. This time it’s slower, more rhythmic,

somehow sexier. Mrs. Baird reacts with a secret smile.
