The scene takes place in the apartment of Susan Stringwald. The window is open and the dog is barking obnoxiously. A storm rages outside. Its smells like T.V. dinner. It’s dark and late. Steven, her fiance, walks in with a gun in hand. Fade in.
Susan: Steven what’s going on?
Steven: I have too! It’s what I have to do!
Steven holds gun out and points it at Susan.
Susan: Baby! It’s okay…. you don’t have to do this!
Susan begans to sob and Steven slowly points the gun away from her and toward himself.
Steven: I have to! It’s not up to you Susan! I love you but, you don’t deserve scum like me!
Susan: Steven NO!!! I love you! Don’t do this to me! I need you!
Steven: I must….you’ll be better off anyway!
Storm continunes to rage, dog to bark and Susan to sob.
Susan: NO!! Steeeven!
Steven takes gun, holds away from himself and pulls the trigger. The gun booms but, all you hear is the screams and sobs of a women who will probably never get married. Fade out.
