SCENE 6
INT. DINING ROOM -EVENING
A quiet room. A set table. Candlelight. Soft music. CLAIRE (30) is sitting on a chair. She is dressed up and has put make up on. She looks at her watch and sighs. The door opens, BILL (30) walks into the room. Claire smiles.
CLAIRE: Hi honey…
Bill focuses on Claire, the table, the candles. He looks puzzled. Bill takes off his coath and leaves his bag on the floor. He approaches the tables.
BILL: Claire, did I forget anything…?
Claire gets up and hugs Bill. She kisses him lightly on hIs lips.
CLAIRE: Do I need a special occasion for a romantic dinner with my husband?
BILL: No.. It’s just… you have never done something like this before.
Claire pours some wine into the glasses that are on the table and offers one to Bill. Bill takes the glass. Claire smiles maliciously at Bill.
CLAIRE: There is a first time for everything… Come on, lets eat.
Bill sits down. Clare puts something into the plate in front of him. Claire sits down and they both start eating.
CLAIRE: I was thinking… I want to watch you having a shower, I like looking at your body…
Bill spits what he is chewing. He coughs then cleans his mouth whit a napkin.
CLAIRE: Something wrong?
BILL: No, I’m fine… It just doesn’t sound like you…
CLAIRE: I told you, I’m full of surprises… Speaking of which: I’m pregnant.
Bill coughs again.
CLAIRE: If it’s a girl I’d like to call her Marina, you know like our neighbor. It’s a beautiful name…
Bill stops eating and look at Claire.
Claire bursts out laughing.
CLAIRE: Oh God…I can’t go on like this…I planned to make fun of you a little longer but I can’t… Your face is so funny.
She keeps on smiling.
CLAIRE: Do you really believe I’m that stupid? All those meetings at work, all those messages… I just had to check your phone.. You didn’t even think of deleting her messages… At least the one about the shower…
Bill keeps silent.
CLAIRE: But you know what? When I read them I realized something really important: I don’t care!! I think our marriage ended a long time ago… So what about ending it in a civil way?
Extreme close up -Claire’s eyes.
Pull back to reveal:
Claire is sitting on a chair alone. She wears a gym suit, her hair is a mess. The door opens. Bill walks into the room. He looks at Claire. She trows a shoe at him.
CLAIRE: YOU BASTARD!!!!
