DANA

(striking back)

                                                                        Because I was stupid!

 

            He turns away from her and walks to the elevators.  We STAY on her.  She has tears in her eyes.

            She hates to cry but she can’t help it.

 

DANA

(continuing)

If it’s not your way, it’s no way.  Is that it?

 

            She walks to him.

 

DANA

(continuing)

                                                                        Look . . . I’m thirty years old, Gene.

                                                                        I wasn’t born the day I met you.

                                                                        You have to live with that the

                                                                        same as I do.  This isn’t some

                                                                        kind of a controlled experiment.

                                                                        It never has been . . .

 

            The elevator door opens.  He gets in.  The door closes and we GO IN CLOSE ON Dana.  No more

            words.
