[context: sometime during their courtship, immediately after Nancy threatens to move back to New York]

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

He grabs her arm, swings her around. He's angry.

REAGAN: You can't do this to me.

He starts kissing her, hard. Desperate. She pulls back, surprised. He pushes her against the sink, still kissing her. The tap water runs and runs.

INT. DAVIS LIVING ROOM - HOME - CHICAGO

Wealthy. Intellectual. Midwestern. Nancy sits in a chair, crying. Edie sits, opposite. They whisper:

EDIE: Well, one thing is clear -- you can't tell Ronnie. He's too religious, he'll never marry you.

NANCY: I can't tell him?

EDIE: But you'd better get him to marry you. And quick. you don't have any time to lose.

NANCY: I can't force him to marry me, Mother. For God's sake.

She sobs hysterically.

EDITH: Shh, keep it down, or Dr. Loyal will hear you --

Nancy can't stop crying. Edith pats her on the arm.

EDIE: (in a whisper, anxiously) Don't worry, honey. Don't worry, we'll get it fixed. I know somebody right here in Chicago, she can fix it. She's good. She never hurts anybody. But we can never tell Dr. Loyal, you hear? Never. Never.

Nancy stares at her mother, stricken.
